Somebody asks the question, why

minds rs those who would like to
know why timber should not he free

to have an interest in the settlement

welfare of the whole people demands

David Davis For Blaine.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, September 2S.
Whatever may have been David
Davis political convictions in the
past, he is to-day in sympathy with
the republican party. Yesterday
the Oglesby Guards, county organ
ization Of Republican voters over so
years old. held reunion and picnic
in this city. A delegation visited
the ex Senator at his residence to
invite him to join in the proceedings.
he received the company with great
warmth and cordiality.
He said that owing to indisposi-
ton, it would be impossible for him
to attend the picnic, and added Il
am out Of politics and do not wish
to enter them. but am with you in
this cause, and the cause ought to
prevail, and | am firmly convinced
it will prevail. | will vote the tick
and heartily support it. 1t is neces-
sary for this Government that the
Republican ticket be elected this
year.

ports sent from Erie to-day stating
that twenty persons were killed by
the falling of the grand stand at the
Erie county fair grounds are false.
Late this afternoon guy suppor-
ting the frame work OF a balloon
which was being sent up from the
grounds fell. crushing the skull of
Samuel 9. Pherrin, prominent far
mer, living within the limits of this
city and killing him Instantly, 1t
also struck James Wadsworth, far
mer of Girard Pa, on the head in
jnring him seriously bat not fatally.
". ?. Edwards secretary of the
agricultural society had some Of
his teeth knocked out and his face
disGgured. The accident was caps-
ed by the cutting of the guy ropes
by some unknown persons. All
subsequent attractions of the fair
were declared off. Pherrin was
forty years old and leaves widow

NFw YORK, September, 25.-Ex-
Postmaster-General James Joined in
a conversation that was being held
to-day with Mr.. John B. Van Worm
er, who is his confidential assistant
at the Lincoln National Bank Mr..
Van Wormer had been saying that
the Democratic detection to Blaine
would more than Offset the vote OF
the Cleveland Republicans, and that
Butler would disappoint Democrat
&c expectations.
II believe" said Mr.. James, But
les will poll as many votes as Cleve-
land does. The Tammany rank
and file are as strongly against
Cleveland as the majority of its
leaders. | have been figuring on
this matter. ! am willing to con-
cede "a, 600 votes, which have gener-
ally been east with the Republicans
as likely to be taken out of their to.
tai vote in this state. This includes
all that wiz 90 to Batter and ST.
John; Cleveland may get 5000 of
them. Against this 24,000 | set
10000 Tammany and 10000 from
all other disaifected sources that
will be divided between Blaine and
Butler 1t seems to me that the
Republican vote will show Il net
profit of 10000 when the balances
are struck y

OK Thursday last General Jacob
NJ. Campbell was re-nominated as
the Republican Candidate for Con-
gress. by the unanimous vote of the
conferees representing the several
Counties comprising this district.
The conference was full and every
member thereof cast his vote for
the nominee. This was a happy con-
clusion to a somewhat protracted
struggle and being the fifth nomina-
ton bestowed on General Campbell
by the Repupubiicans oft district,
indicates the very high esteem in
which he is held by his political
friends, The contestiug candidates
Col. McCamant of Blair Coun-
ty and John II. Jorden Esq. of Bed
ford-are gentlemen of mark in their
respective Counties, and had receiv-
ed such hattering Endorsements
from their friends at home, that their
conferees were naturally persistent
in tteir efforts to procure their
nomination. But while this pro-
tracted the settings of the confer
ence, its harmony was at no time
disturbed, and its final conclusion
was brought about with unexample
unanimity. General Campbell's en-
tire Congressional career has been
one of consistent devotion to the
principles OF the party, and the in
terests of the people whom he has
represented. Always at his post of
duty, always prompt and attentive
TO the business OF his constituents,
intelligent, well-informed, and mp
right, he has deservedly won the high
compliment of a fifth nomination.
That the Republicans of the dis
trict will return him to the next
Congress by an increased majority,
we have no doubt.

TEE PENNSYLVANIA SENATOR WILL GO
INTO THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO
FOR ACTIVE WORK.
Pbilade,phia Times.

Philadelphia Times
Probably one of the most import
ant results of Mr.. Blaine's visit to
Philadelphia is the thorough under
standing he has had with the Stall
wart leaders here. While there was
not SO much discomfort among that
element in Pennsylvania as in sew
eral other places, there was enough
of it to deserve attention. Then 1t
was deemed best to settle with 1t
here on account of the beneficial ef-
fects IFS hearty support would have
in other localities.
Early yesterday morning it was
evident from the class of men to be
seen about the Continental Hotel
that the Stalwarts were to have a
hearing. The chief had telegraphed
that be would come down from
Harrisburg this morning and take
part in all the events arranged In
honor of Mr.. Blaine. Many OF his
warm friends awaited his coming.
1t was nearly II o'clock when he
reached the hotel and he was shown
at once to Parlor 2. A moment lat
er he went direct to Mr.. Blaine's
room and he was the first visitor
admitted. For a long time be and
the Presidential candidate were In
close and earnest conversation
The length of the conference
between Mr.. Blaine and Senator
Cameron was the subject of 3 good
deal of comment. 1t was only il-
terrupted by the clamor of some of
the business men who desired to be
admitted and the arrival of the del
egation of the State Central Commit
tee which had been sent to request
Senator Cameron's presence at
meeting of that body.
What the details of the conversa-
ton were between Mr.. Blaine and
Senator Cameron no one of course
knows. 1t is evident that they were
of character entirely satisfactory
to both parties, for Mr.. Blaine ex-
pressed his great satisfaction at Sen
ator Cameron's attitude, and Mr..
Cameron, when he appeared before
the State Committee later, made a
speech, in which he predicted the
success of the ticket and pledged
himself to untiring efforts in its be-
half. Even to his closest friends
Senator Cameron is exceedingly ret
icent as to the scope of the arrrnge-
ment between Mr.. Blaine and him
self, but in general way he passed
the word to his friends that from
this time on there must be no drones
in the hive.

DENVER, COL, September 26.--
Miss G. /. Welton, a wealthy young
lady of New York City, perished in a
snow storm last Tuesday night while
descending Longs Peak. Miss Well
ton had been spending The season at
Colorado Springs, visiting Pixies
Peak and other points of interest.
A few weeks ago che went to Estes
Park, stopping at hotel. On Mon
day evening she walked over to the
house OF guide named Lamb, liv-
ing at the foot of the peak, and en-
gagged a son of Mr.. Lamb, 10 years of
age, to act as guide in ascending the
peak next morning. At 6 o'clock
Tuesday morning she left the house
and safely assembled the peak, but
encountered fierce storm on the
return. during which thelady became
completely chilled. Young Lamb
assisted her in the descent the best
he could until about 8 at night, when
her strength entirely failed and he
carried her for half a mile, when,
finding his own strength failing. told
her the only chance of saving either
of their lives was for him to leave
her and go to his fathers house sew
en- miles distant, for assistance. He
left her at 10 o'clock and returned
with assistance at on Wednesday
morning finding the lady frozen to
death. The remains were taken to
Long Mont and will be sent to New
York. Miss Welton was highly re-
fined, a great lover of nature and
selfrelant. A heavy snow-storm
prevails in the mountains tonight.
