Ohio Democracy as one OF the bosses, T. a
position under the Administration which,
however lucrative, would amount to retire
ment from active political life. 1t is be-

position as possible in the state in the next

many citizens leave the election 10 the bum

wrong kind ofa candidate is chosen, and the
city is misgoverned in consequence. In some
Wards postal cards will be sent out to the

probable that drum corps will be engaged

1t seems impossible for Springfield to hol
ber good musicians. Mr.. Ben Rssiug, the
leading tuba player Of thi, city; Mr.. Charles
Cushm.n, the leading trombonist, and Mr..
Orrin Huckins, the Iylophcnist and drum
mer, have made arrangements 10 travel next
summer and fall, the season commencing May
lst when they leave for Meridsn, Conn, to
join their combination. The show with
which they travel is s novelty in the amuse-
ment world. 1t consists of specially show
given under canvas, like circus. There is
a stage at one end of the tent, and the seat
ing is arranged exactly like that OF an opera
house. The venture proved very successful
last year, and probably will this. George D.
Barnard, wko was here with tbs Silver Spur
combination, will be the leader Next win
ter the musical part of the combination will
take the contract TO furnish music for some
eastern opera house. The los. CT these really
excellent musicians will leave vacancy hard
to fill among orchestra players of this city.

There is considerable speculation as to
when the Democratic convention will
De held TO nominate officers for the spring
election, and as 10 who the nominees
will be. A prominent Democrat says
tbar the convention will probably be held on
the 18th OF March. Ii is now almost univers-
ally conceded that Mayor Cons antine is a
candidate for reelection. 1t is said that a
number OF the recently defuuct police COM
mission has already begun to elecioneer for
the Mayor in a quiet way. Many persons be-
lieve that the opposition to the passage OF the
bill in the Legislature, abolisbing the office OF
marshal in this city, and that making the Of
fee OF mayor salaried one, comes from the
Springfield Democracy, who expect 10 capture
the city government again this sUrIng. The
Office OF mayor pays from $4,000 TO $4,000
in tees. whereas the proposed salary as named
in the bill introduced into the Legislature is
only 81 500 number of Democrats believe
that Constantine will not run tor the nom
ination OF mayor. They believe he will try
for some place under the administration,
such as district attorney or revenue
collector, either OF which places pays about
81, 100 year. They affect TO believe that
the time-honored breach between Mayor Con-
stanune and j. J, Smith has been healed, and
that J J. will come in for the nomination Of
Mayor with Constsntire's full approval.

There is now no longer any doubt that

the Prohibitionis,s desire il, and added that if
he did 60 into it, he would make a hot canvass
ior the ot'c.. and would enlist the services of

Ludlow is very much in earnest and believes
that ne stands good chance of election in the

enough strength from them to elect him. II
he should be nominated, he says that the
liquor laws would be executed 10 the bitter
end, snd that he would devote himself TO the
elevation of public morals.

A gentleman, prominent in Cincinnati
business circles, says that Cincinnati has
never been duiler than at present. The
largest retail clothing house only employs
halt their usual force to do their custom
work and their army of clerks stand around
idl. from lack OF trade. In printing and
newspaper business it is especially dull. An
old printer SAYS thst $50 Union printers and
twenty-five experienced journalists are out of
employment in the city, worse condition OF
sfairs than can be remembered by the oldest
printers. A boom is expected 10 April or
May. 1t is said that the Times-Star is to be
converted into a morning paper, and that the
Enquirer will issue an evening paper from
the Enquirer Office, at least that is the talk.

Blown to pieces

Pittsburg, Dec. 2-The tow boat Iron
City, was blown to pieces this morning
about two O'Clock while stuck on the bar
at the head OF Herrs' island, Allegheny
river. The crew, numbering Six men
were blown into the river. Engineer
George Ashton was instantly killed:
Fred Jackson, fatally injured and Others
seriously hurt. The vessel was burned
to she water edge and is a total loss,
About 6 O'Clock in the evening, the Iron
City in running down the river was
swung OF to the bar where she went
bodily aground. All the evening,
up to the time of the explosion,
the vessel tried to back off into deeper
water. Shortly after two o'clock an
effort was made to get her off the bar
Her engines were forced to their fullest
capacity, when the boiler could not
stand the pressure and collapsed. The
conclusion from the explosion was
terrific. Pieces of the vessel we're blown
from the middle of the river where the
boat was aground, to the Allegheny
sides 500 yards away. Part OF the cabin
alighted on the roof of Gerdes' tannery,
directly opposite on the Aallegany side.
The boat took fire and buned rapidly to
the waters edge.
The water was shallow and the crew,
with the exception of Ashton and Jack
son, easily reached the bar. Within a
few minutes after the river banks and
island became thickly crowded with peo-
pie and the few skiffs that could be se-
cured at once were filled with eager
crews OF rescuer who had fastened to
the scene of the disaster. The crew
were taken from the bar and
taken to the Allegheny shore
where all possible was done for their
injuries. Their names were: Robt.
jackson, fireman, badly bruised and
scalded; Joe Richardson. badly iniur-
ed; x-Counoilman Smith Walker, Sc.

A Church Row in Detroit,

Chicago, Dec. "A special to the
Journal from Detroit says another scene
of tremendous uproar and excitement
occurred this morning at the Polish
Catholic church. Both masses were
drowned with yells aud screams by wo-
men WHO packed the church and pelted
the priest with chunks of mud and stones.
One of the new priests was attacked on
the steps OF the altar and his priestly
robes torn from his back by infuriated
women. The priests then feared for
their lives and wers surround
ed by thirty policeman, and ran at
full speed ACROSS the street to the
presidents house amid a shower of
stones and briokbats. Several of the
rioters were arrested by the police. The
streets became a bowling mob. at
dusk Father Kalacinski, q deposed
priest, appeared at the scene, when he
was instantly surrounded by women and
children who kissed his hands and VOW
ed they would never have any priest but
him. Kalacinski persuaded them to
leave the street and all is nov quiet, but
more violence will likely follow unless
the bishop restores Kalacinski to his
charge.

Mr. clifford and the presiden,

Bismarck, Oak, Nov. 27-Delegate
Clifford arrived in the city to-day. While
he does not say what he is here for, his
queries lead to the belief that he wants
to find out the wants OF the people re-
garding the new judicial districts and
other legislation. When asked as to the
probable recommendations the presI-
dent would make relative to Dakota in
his forthcoming message, Mr.. Clifford
said:
So far as the questions of division and
admission sre concerned, he could not
say. He has had several interesting and
earnest conversations with President
Cleveland, and in all these the president
has manifested a friendly and encourag-
ing spirit toward the territory. The
questions of division and admission were
touched upon, but the cautious execu-
tive did not commit himself on either.
However, he left the impression with
Mr.. Clifford that he intended to act in
accordance with the wishes of the peo-
pie, and for the best interests of the ter
ritory at large. One important
point spoken of by the dele
gate is the opening of the Sioux
reservation, which 30 long stood in the
wsy of progress in southeastern Dakota.
He stated that the president would very
strongly recommend the opening of the
reservation, and if the Recommendation
is acted upon the vast wealth of the
Black Hills may be developed, and a
new impetus given to railroad building
in that rich, ~unoccupied region between
the Hills and the Missouri. Mr.. Gift
ford does not believe that the appoint
ment of Mccormack and MaIratta has
any bearing on the g%ubernatorial ques-
ton, and thinks that by no means can
it add strength to the candidacy of lie.
bach. He does not think that Gov.
Pierce will be removed, az he is held in
the highest esteem at Washington, and
the administration believe him to be a
conscientious, capable and IN every re.
spect a creditable executive for the ter.
ritory.
Mr.. Clifford will leave for Washington
this evening, to be present at the sitting
of congress, and says lively fight over
the speakership of the house is expected
