A Man Returns After Thirty Years

Springfield Mass Republican.
Rev. Archer FaIrchiId returned to
Lee, after an absence of thirty years.
He walked into the house of ais broth
er-in-law, II. A Peck, and greatly
surprised the family, who have not
heard from him for nearly thirty
years, and supposed he was dead. He
went to Michigan when boy, aud
finally found his way to Portland,
Oregon, where he had distinguished
himself as a Methodist preacher. and
he was sent On from there to attend
the convention IN Philadelphia. He
will remain in the country visiting
his old friends for a few days, and
then return by the Northern Pacific
road to his Oregon home Hrs long
silence is due to the fact that after he
left Michigan he was for long time
beyond any possible way of communl-
eating with his friends, as he was
travelling through the wilderness to
the Pacific coast. And when he
reached Oregon he had been away SO
long that he did not know where his
friends were, as letters that were writ
ten were never received. He finally
gave up trying to communicate with
them, hoping he might some time
come east and see them

TAMMANY AND CLEVELAND

The Sagamores and Sachems dig
up the Hatchet and Take the War
Path.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE favor
able prospects of Cleveland to take
the place of Tilden in the affections
of the democratic party, has stirred
the bitterness all UP from the bottom
in the heart of Tammauy. The heart
of this tribe has grown bad, so bad
indeed that fire water does not in
crease its badness, nor does sleep
nor fat feeding make it gentle. In
the convention TO morrow Tammany
will demand its rights. Its ultima
ton will go forth and, if denied,
Tammany will point to the man from
Maine and with sudden ugh" tell
the counsel 10 choose between Tam
many's man or the man from the
Kennebec This Will greatly compli-
cate the difficulties at Chicago. With
Tammany out of his path, Cleveland
would probably receive cordial
support III this state, AID go to Chi
cago invincbile. AS it is, the dem
ocracy are comewhat perplexed.
THE FLOWER MOVEMENT.
The Flower movement assumes,
under the smile Of Tammany, and
the favoring aid of circumstances,
proportions SO formidable that it is
no longer laughed at 1t has been
the course of several papers to pooh
pooh at it. But it Las gone right
along just the same. While the pa
pers aud public, outside of New
York, are disposed to regard, as the
Herald terms it, an impertlnence, 1t
will show up great deal of vigor at
Saratoga, and go to Chicago, as a
vital, potent force. 1t is not a thing
to be laughed at But it may neces-
state the party going west for a
leader. Most of the democracy say
that it will not do to put up man
who, in no way has shown q peculiar
fitness for the presidency, beyond or
superior to half the business men in
the country. He has had no public
caree-. He served one term IN con
gress, with credit, il is true, but with
out distinction. and while IN native
ability the equal of Cleveland, or
even Blaine, there is nothing to cen
ter the public attention upon him.
He is successful business man of
more than ordinary intelligence. He
is not in danger of assault upon his
record as he has none. His speeches
in congress were brief, and being
upon the usual plane of speeches in
that body they were heard without
applause and made no impression
upon the country. The better judg-
ment kere is that should Flower sue
ceed in capturing the New York en-
dorsement, the convention at Chica-
go will override New York and put
up a strong western man like
Mcdonald for the first place with
Slocum for the eastern contribution
to the ticket.

THE BLAINE BLAST.
Pretty Well Blown Over.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Blaine
crowd have celebrated their victory in
the nomination they are now con-
fronted by the stern realities of can
vass. 1t may be said that every issue
of the independent hopes gives them
a pang and quake. They are seeing
with fear and ire ,abling the swelling
list of the great revolt.
1t IS an accepted fact that Blaine
goes into the fight with the entire in
dependent press of the country against
him. This same press has upon sew
eral occasions made its power felt, and
if the signs of the times arc any indl-
cation whatever, the independent
voters OF New York and Massachu-
sets will go solid against the plumed
knight. Ii they should do this, New
York will go 5000 and Massachu-
sets 90, coo democratic. The claims
of the Blaine men that they will carry
all the western states arc absurd.
When the public and political record
of Mr.. Blaine is searched 1t will show
that he has occupied damaging 20
sltion upon many great qsestlons that
the people of the west have been and
are still deeply Interested in.
There are four, if not five, western
states that It will hump Blaine to
carry. Illinois is not sure for Blaine.
IF Carter Harrison is nominated for
governor of that state he will poll aH
immense vote. and will likely Carry
Chicago by 20, 900 majority and the
democratic presidential ticket will not
run much behind. The democratic
majorities in Egypt" }" Illinois, have
been constantly Increasing IN late
years. and cool-thinking Illinoisans
think that the democrats of the Sucker
state will give the Blaine men all
they can do to carry it. Logan adds
no strength to the ticket In his own
state. He is bitter, violent partisan,
and intensely hated by the democrats,
men, women and children.
California will show up close
and doubtful. despite loud boasts
of the republicans that they
will sweep that state by a heavy ma
jority. The connection Of Blaine
with the railroad interests of that
state will lose him thousands of
votes when brought to light
Clear, cool headed Wisconsin ren
have asserted positively that the state
will go against Blaine. 1t Is Known
here that TIE prohibitionists of Wis
consin will run a ticket, which will
take a large vote from the repusli-
can candidate. Then the maRy Ger
mans In that state who have hereto
fore voted with the republicans will
oppose Blaine. The democrats have
a good fighting chance TO carry Wis
consin. with the odds now in their
favor. OILY a few soldiers on the
state ticket are likely to pull through.
There is no doubt about the result
in Indiana. It is no longer an Octo
Der state. In the last seven state
elections IN Isdiana the democrats
have lost it but one time, and then
under circumstances well understood
BY the people Of the country. These
republicans viii have no keen, able
manager, with barrel of money,
ike Steve Dorsey, to run the state
and debaucn the people this year, and
Indiana is naturally a democratic
state, and for proof of it the demo
cratic majorities of 1870. the election
of Mr.. Hendricks In 1872, the carry

Col. Keyes' Opportunity

MILWAUKEE, June 17-There is a
strong likelihood that E. w. Keyes
will run for congress in the Third dis
trict this fall. 1t is we'll known that
he is especially popular with the
Blaine elements because he was an
able co-worlker with Blaine's trusted
managers at Chicago. Blaine always
had great faith in Keyes and the
events of this year have heightened
it. A gentleman in the city from
Grant county say 8 that Keyes is the
strop -est man in the district; and in
the event that Blaine should be elect
ed, he would be power IN congress.
The old feud growing out of the war
with Hazelton two years ago has al
died out. Your correspondent says
that those who then opposed Keyes
are now in his favor; and now prefer
him to any man of less distinctive IN
divlduality. He can have the nomin-
alton if he will enter the field for it,
without struggle. Many republl-
cans all over the state are extremely
anxious to have Keyes at Washing
ton, in the event of Blaine's election
and will aid cheerfuuy in his candi-
dacy and election.

The republican organs are just now
becoming wonderfully high toned.
They think it is !endish and ghoul-
,sh to resort to caricature in politics.
The republican party laughed till 1t
cried over the caricatures of poor Gree
ley, but now when the keen wit of the
artist exposes the Righteousness of
their own candidate the case is
changed CaricaturIng now IS satan
ic. The ethics of the organ is peculiar.
Il may be summed up thas: What
soev"r things tend to keep the spoils
in our hands, are lovely and Of good
report, but whatsoever things tend to
wrench the spoiis from our grasp, the
same are The works of the devil the
father Of lies.

comes more ridiculous every day. In

1t is certainly time TO have done

way with $4,000, 900 or $4,000, 900 of
other peoples money and then step
into a sleeping-car and awake on soil
where he is beyond the reach of JUS

relations works in the interest of
criminals, large classes of whom can
put themselves out of harms way by
simply crossing the line. OF late

The court of appeals to day render

which has been before the United

years ago John Bush, shot Miss
Annie Vanmeter. the daughter of a
wealthy and highly respectable far

died. Bush was engaged in a quarrel
with the father of Miss Vanmeter,
and after arming himself with a gun
be fired at the father, missing him,
but wounded his daughter, who died
in a few days after receiving the
wound. Bush was arrested, tried, and
convicted in the Fayette circuit court
for murder, and sentenced to be hang
ed An appeal was taken, and the
court of appeals reversed the decision.
Before a second trial was had Bush
was released upon writ of hsbeas
corpus sworn out before the United
States court ar Louisville, and immedI
ately after his release he was arrested
by the authorities of Fayette county
and placed in the Fayette county Jail.
His release was ordered because the
jury which convicted him had been
selected in direct conflict with some
of the amendments of the constitution
of the United States, which provides
that juries III criminal eases
must be selected without regard to
color, and in Bush's case the
jury was composed exclusively of
white men. His second trial resulted
in a conviction and he was
agains sentenced to be hanged.
An appeal was again tax

the decision of the lower court, hold

stitutlon of the state of Kentucky
with reference to the selection of juries
was dead letter, and that it was an
established law in the state that all

that the accused was entitled to a new
trial and should have been reindIcted
