MR. CABLES friends in Rock Island
are at present industriously booming him
as a candidate for the democratic nomiN
nation for congressman. With Mr.. Prem
tiss out of the race the only candidates
now remaining are Neece and Gable. be-
tween whom the party convention Will
have to choose unless in the mean time
Mr.. Prentss can be induced to allow his
name to be used as a candidate. For our
part we can support either of the gentle
men named. and we are satisfied that eth
er of them would be great improvement
on our present member. We still insist
however that it is the duty of our conven-
ton, when it meets to nominate the
man, whoever he may be, who in the
opinion of the members of that convenS
ton will be able to carry the greatest
vote. All personal preferences should at
this time especially be cast aside and all
true democrats should Join gladly in one
earnest and united effort to once more
redeem the Eleventh congressional DIS
trict from misrepresentation. 1t is the
duty of every citizen to do all in his
power to secure for our district such q
representation in congress as our people
are entitled to; to send to our national
capital as representative man who
will truly represent the interests of our
people and not cater solely to the inter
ests of favored few, who have for the
past quarter of century been made
the special wards of the republican
party and as such, permitted to
prey. without stint upon the public
treasury. We have men in this district,
who will. if sent to congress. guard as
their own the interests of our whole
people, and we believe it is the duty of
the democratic convention to nominate
such q man and of the people to elect
him after he is nominated. If the cons
veuton does not fail we have no hest
fancy in saying that we fully believe the
people will do their duty. AS a repres

Close Can for the Tammanv eraves

ST LOUIS, Mo, June 5About fifty miles
this side of Cleveland the first section of the
Tammany train came near being thrown
from the track. A nut in the truck of one of
the cars came loose letting the irun-bar drop.
Fortunately the track along there was raised
and the bar did not touch the ground If it
had, or had been caught ON u tie it would
have thrown tho ear from the track The
racket it ma le attracted attention, and
after travelling quarter of a mile or more
the locomotive was stopped, When it was
learned what had occurred the people ON

CHICAGO, June 5.-The elections for
supreme judges were held i'm this state YES
terday. The returns, so far as received
show that Judge Magruder will be his own
successor in this district. He had no opposi-
ton except where some Of the voters "for the
fun of the thing" voted for anybody that
came into their heads The vote of this city
was very light-but about 10 per cent of the
usual poll. No interest was taken in the
election. In the Third district Judge Wilkin
was successful, SchUiield in the Second,
Bailey in the Sixth, and the Cairo district was
doubtful at last reports.

could As for the Black boom it died
"a-boomingn early in the day. Joe Mann,
of Illinois, at whose instance the headquar-
tiers were opened and who, it was Confiden-
italy given out, would fan the spark into a
flame as soon as he arrived, came in at s
O'Clock, just in time to find that any dark
horses chances the commissioner of pensions
might have had twelve hours before had van
ished into the gloom.
1t is said that had Judge Thurman failed
to receive the support of the Ohio delegation
formidable boom would have been started
for Speaker Carlisle for the second place on
the ticket. The story goes that 5000 badges
with the speakers picture had been slowed
away in room at the Southern ready to be
unloaded as soon as the news that Ohio had
disagreed was made public; that Henry Wat
terson, Morrison, Randall, and other leading
Democrats would have openly espoused the
speakers candidacy, and that to pave the
way in the convention "Nick' WOrthington,
of Illinois, would have submitted a resolu-
ton at the outset of the proceedin gs, pay
ing a tribute to Thurmans devotion
to and services in the cause of the Democratic
party, and regretting that he hal reached an
age when it would lie neither right nor Just
to call upon him again to serve the people
in an official capacity Then an effort would
have been made to carry Carlisle through
on tidal wave. But the action Of the Ohio
delegation knocked this in the head and the
Carlisle boom and the Carlisle badges will be
put upon the shelf, maybe to be brought out
and busted four years from now
The situation at midnight, so far as Thur
mans selection is concerned, was unchanged.
There Will probably be no ballot taken
Crowds of Gray followers gathered in the
Hobbies of the leading hotels late at night
and cheered for their favorite. 1t was all to
no purpose, however, as in the language of
the Indiana delegation: at is too late to
shout now The slate IS fixed"
The Indiana delegation, at a meeting last
night, instructed its members to support
Henry Watterson for the craftsmanship of
the committee on resolutions The fight for
this place will probably be between Waiter
son and German
The action of the Ohio delegation was wired
without delay to Judge Thurman, and long
after midnight from the balconies of half a |
dozen hotels orators waved the red bandanna |
at the multitudes below and assured them

Mr. Oldham was awakened by the cracking
and roaring of the flames and OF ening his
room door to the hail he discovered mass

he saw Pemberton Pierce rush out on to the

is publishing for the use of their naval COM
manders minute description of all the for
tifications possessed by the British, together

accompanied by charts and plans which have

plot is on foot to kill the crown prince and
Prince Bismarck, by means of an electrical

it is merely clumsy scheme to earn money,

notions, and are simply working upon the
credulity of the Anarchists.

guments in support of the Indiana governor.
They told the Ohioans that he was the
only man that could carry the state; that
upon his nomination rested all chances of its
remaining in the Democratic column, and
that, moreover, he was the one man who
could unite both north aud south. The
Ohioans listened patiently, and when the del
egation had retired they renewed their dis
cussion. Finally to test the prevailing opin-
ion, Baker, of Cincinnati, submitted reso-
luton setting forth that in the event of the
name of Allen G.. Thurman being presented
to the convention for vice president the Ohio
delegation would give him its undivided sup
port. When show of hands was called for
