mentioned the fact that Pas Hogan had
beaten mp couple Of men ON Harring-

himself from the officers. A warrant
for his arrest was issued. and yesterday
afternoon Chief woolery heard OF Ho-
Ran's Whereabouts and proceeded 20 ar

Hogan watched his opportunity, and
when the Chief Was OF his guard the
prisoner grabbed him and attempted 90
bite on his nose. Not desiring Co iose his
nasal organ, and realizing that an inch
ON the end 1t mans nose makes con
siderable difference, the Chief resisted.
While clearing himself from the mans
embrace. Hogan struck him heavy
blow IN the face. This riied the officer
considerably. aud without further cere-
money be proceeded to give Hogan a

RICHELIEu.-The Standard Theater
was well flied last evening on the frat
appearance of Geo. @. Min in Bulwer
Lytton's great play of Richelieu. Des-
pite the lack OF proper scenery, and
good orchestral music entire actes, the
audience was highly entertained. Tie
play passed smoothly; the several actors
knew their lines and filled their parts
with credit. Much has been written
lately of this preacher. who in brief
period, has mounted to the topmost
round of the histrionic ladder. The
character of Richelieu, Prime Minister
TO the weak Louis the Thirteenth. is one
taxing the powers of an actor TO the
Highest degree. Mr.. Min gives rem
dision that with adequate support and
proper stage effects, wsuld be we'll nigh
fsuItless. His voice Is strong, deep and
resonant,h gestures natural and effect.

evening, however, was 30 far as Min is
concerned, an exception. for he was

again at the end of the fourth. To-
night Hamlet will be presented. In tue

SPOKEN BY AUTHORITY.
| a New York Man Who Says TIiden
Will Not Make the Race.

NEW York, April 19.-"Gath says: was
talking with Robert B. Roosevelt, the former
Democratic congressman, one morning ahG
said: "Doyou approve of renominating Mr..
Tlden for the presidency
NO 1t is another piece of unthinkirg
folly. Mr.. Tilden told me himself, and gave
ME authority to put it as strong as wanted
to, that he would not run for president, was
not able to fulfill the duties of the office, and
did not expect it. But when that is an
nounced our absurd party begins to cry: we
must nominate him. Why in the name of
common sense did they not nominate him
when they had the opportunity, and when he
was comparatively well and strong man!'
Said l: DO you see any candidate in the
state of New York that you think would run
well but Clevelanda'
Mr.. Roosevelt thought a moment and said:
Il think Edward Cooper would run very well
for president. He was mayor of New York.
and was constant under difficulties and pa
tient, and finally successful in getting out
Kelly and his following. 1t was true that his
term was done by the time he succeeded, be
cause Kelly traded with the Republicans to
keep himself and his gang in Yet respect
able persons willing to do justice will see that
Edward Cooper, while Tot brutal man, ad-
hered to principle. In the city of New York
he has very large following on account of
the philanthropy of bis father to poor young
men, for whom he built great institute and
has educated so many. The son is a well
educated man, has a clear character, pure
man, AMI would make good magistrate. In
the White House he would be above the kind
of low annoyanceS which visit gentleman
in the mayors office"

PROTESTED HIS INNOCENCE.
Execution OF Theodore Hoffman at
White Plains, New York.

WHITE PLAINS, N Y, April 10. - The
execution of Theodore Hoffman, FOR the muir
der of Zif Marks, Jewish peIdler, attracted
a large crowd, hut only few were permitted
to see the execution.
Hoffman slept soundly, but partook of bat
q Scanty breakfast. As the hour of execution
approached he began to grow nervous, but
when his spiritual adviser arrived he seemed
to derive some consolation from his company
The condemned man walked firmly to the
gallowS with the minister PrayA,
was said and the moose adjusted The drop
fell at 7:IG. There was scarcely any strug
gle. Slight trem0rs Of the limbs were
noticed, but there were no contortious of the
body. The condemned protested his limo
cence to the last, but left letter to be opened
after the execution, which is thought to CON
tain confession
LATER.-The letter left by Hoffman was
addressed to the sheriff. 1t contains the fol-
lowing: 1T is of no use to think that
would make a confession, for l
have none to make. Neither is it of
any use for me to speak to you of
the injustice done me You have done
your duty. and of that you needn't be
ashamed. Time will tell YOU all, and there
will be no one to say that have done them
wrong" The letter closes with tile request
that the things the dead man had left in his
cell be delivered to his parents,

Postal TeleEraphy..

WASHINGTON CITY, April 79-The house
committee on postoftices and post-roads con-
tinued consideration of postal telegraphy,
and, upon molten of Representative Ward,
Of Indiana, by vote of 10 to l Reese, Of
Georgia., adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, that it is the sense of this commit
tee that it is expedient to adopt
the contract system of postal Biography"
The members voting affirmatively were
Messrs. Money, Ward, Cosgrove, Rogers,
Jones, Bingham, PeeIe, Skinner, White and
Wakefield Representative Ward, in CON
versation with a representative of the United
Press, subsequent to the adoption of his reso-
luton by the committee, said: THAT reso-
luton indicates cheap telegraph and the way
is now clear for the adoption of postal tele-
graph without the expenditure of a dollar
by the government. OF course l cannot
say what the committee will agIee upon,
but | consider the contract scheme the best
that could be devised. Ny own opinion is
that the committee will adopt bill which
will enable the company offering the mos.
favorable terms to secure the work"

nothing else before it, and we can go right

that the Western Union claimed that the

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Now that the republicans have SHE'D
their castor into the ring, the democr ats
can look about and discover their mis-
takes 1t does no: take very earnest
look, either, to discover the most glaring
of blunders-blunders that will be brought
more forcibly TO light next November
than now. Geographically, the nomna
tons could not have been more poorly
made, apparently men have been selected
without any regard to location. Or else,
on the other hand it was intended to
sill ght the Southern portion of the state,
known as Egypt This was no doubt in
tended as a sort of rebuke to the republi-
cans Of that section, for not controlling
things as they do here, in the Northern
portion. Present office holders, too, were
in demand. The negroes were also
snubbed, and given to understand that
they were only wanted to vote in Novem-
Der. The republicans have used this class
of people for tools to further their polit-
zeal advancement, but they only recognize
them at the polls The speakers, howev-
er, stopped all over them, and Rev c. S.
Smith, of Bloomington, was put on as an
alternate. The young men were also sat
down on, and it was given to understand
that the old cocks were running the cam
paign. Altogether, the convention was
one continual blunder, and the democrats
could not have wished for weaker ticket
to be nominated by the republicans, than
was selected for the suifrages of the
people
The democrats should profit by the
blindness and folly of their opponents.
They should put up strong ticket in
every respect, and not pick the men from,
one nationality or any particular section
of the state. Give all classes a chance
to be represented, and DO not ignore a
good man because he resides in a repub
lican county Or district 1t would be al
most an impoSsibility to nominate 4
weaker ticket than the republicans have
done, and they, themselves, see they have
made great mistake. The ARGUS doe,
not utter q vain boast. in predicting that
next fall the politics of Illinois will be-
revolutionized and democratic governor
and entire state ticket will be elected
