Blaine and Logan in Aberdeen,

A huge attempt was made by the
Republicans of Monroe county to-
wards a Blaine and Logan Ratifca-
ton meeting at the Court House in
this city on Thursday night. 1t was
attended by probably two hundred
voters, among whom were number
OF true blue Democrats attracted by
curiosity; others without any partic-
ular political preference, and OF
course by all the Office -bolders and
office.seekers under the Republican
regime.
Major " H Vasser, Clerk of the
U. S. District Court, was called to
the chair and in his usual dignitied
and CONCISE language explained the
wherefore of the assemblage. The
meeting was addressed upon the
subject of the recent nominations at
Chicago,by Hon. Greene C.Chandler'
United States District Attorney and
candidate for Congress in the First
District, Major Vasser, U. S. Court
Clerk, Mr. T M Nabors, Greenbacker,
Independent, Republican, ETC., for To-,
these many years, but, we believe,
never feeder at the public crib ex-
cept in sort of an expectant man-
ner, and probably by others whose
names we did not secure. The ma
chine enthusiasm that usually follows
Presidential nominations cropped
out of course on this occasion, and
the unlearned in regard to the actual
state of affairs in this particular in
stance might possibly have been in
dnced to believe that similar demon-
strations are universal throughout
the Union to be continued until the
close of the campaign. The ''bright
lights" however, know a great deal
better, and tremble in their boots
for the success of their ticket when
they read the wholesale regulations
and denunciations of the work at
Chicago from many Republicans OF
national reputation and numbers OF
the most influential and widely cir>
culated metropolitan journals, OF
both the Radical and Independent
class.
These affairs, however, are "down
on the bills and must be Played as
the showmen say, and a ratification
for Blaine and Logan was as much in
keeping with the ''eternal fitness Of
things" as it would have been fo,
other nominees of much greater
strength and popularity; and, be-
sides, the ''ins" must score a record
while the "outs' are bound to keeE
in alignment If they hope to get in

OUR CIIY.

Improvement is the order OF the
day in Aberdeen. On Monday Mr..
Berg commenced work on new
brick store house for Mrs. Josie
Evans,on the lot between McQuiston
& Heisen's and Oldshue & Sons
buildings. We understand that it
will be one of the handsomest stores
on Commerce street.
The work of tearing down the two
old buildings at the corner Of Com
merce and Meridian Streets, to make
way for the grand Masonic Temple
and Opera House, commenced on
Monday morning and is we'll nigh
through With. The erection Of this
splendid edifice--which will be one
of the finest buildings in the State
is to be pushed rapidly as the con-
tract calls for delivery early in the
fall, and one of the store rooms is
already rented.
The erection of six store houses
and fire proof warehouse on the
Manning block by Mr.. G, G. Heisen,
is also spoken of, and many other
substan ntial improvements are upon
the tapss.
In this connection We would call
the attention of our capitalists to the
fact that the great demand of the
hour is for more neat cottage dwell.
ing houses. Quite number OF these
structures have been erected during
the last eighteen months but they
were all rented even before comple-
ton and in some instances before
work upon them had commenced,
and yet the pressure does not seem
to be at all relieved and must in,
crease daily as our city advances in
wealth and population.
With our healthy location, glori'
GUS water, excellent society, superior
educational facilities, numerous
churches, energetic and wide awake
merchants, ,exceptionable trade facili'
ties and productive surroundings
there is no reason why the city
should not double or threble its
population in the next five years i
it is prepared to comfortably house
the people who will under favorable
circumstances succumb to it's man'
natural, social, educational and com
mercial attractions

LOCAL NEWS OF THE DAY


States Attorney Munroe and Sher-
iff Fowler have arranged to visit the
third district on Monday next and
have the remains of Joseph Turner,
colored, who was recently stabbed by
John Williams another colored man,
which fact was heretofore noticed in
the CAPITAL, exhumed and an inquest
held over the body. The States
officers believe that Turner's death
resulted from the wounds inflicted by
Williams, and express surprise that
the authorities here were not notified
of the homicide before, as it has been
reported that Turner only lived
few days after the cutting, which oc-
Cured on August 25th. Williams
gave himself up after he stabbed
Turner, and has been in jail here
ever since. He does not know but
that Turner is still living, and the
Jail officials have been instructed to
keep the information from him until
after the verdict of the jury is known.
Williams stated at the jail, shortly
after his arrival, that the stabbing
was done in self-defense. He said
he and Turner had been bathing in
the river and had had quarrel be-
cause Turner tore his clothing. Tur
ner. he states, renewed the quarrel
later in the day at his (Williams's)
house, and being a larger man than
himself would have gotten away with
him if he had not defended himself
with weapon.
1t was sta1ed that Turner received
fifteen different wounds during the
scuffle, the fatal one extending en-
tirely across the abdomen, from which
the entrails protruded. Williams
also stated to the jail officials that he
had given Turner terrible cash in
the stomach, and remarked that he
could not recover from the wound.
Williams also expressed the belief
that, as the cutting had been done in
self-defense, and as he had surrender
ed himself the law would not look
seriously upon the offense. The cut
ting was done with knife. Williams
is mulatto, "a years old, and says
he originally came from New York.
He is unmarried. Turner was a
married man, and it is stated his wife
is partly responsible for his visit to
Williams's house on the day of the
fatal cutting. The two parties lived
in the vicinity of JacobsvilIe, in the
third district.
