Since The needing Of The Republican
convention here on the 10th Instant, poll
tics heye been IN constant theme of con-
yersation Oh Tue strsets. Some surprise
was caused by the nominations of Mills
for the Senate, rs IL WAS understood thai
ne would not consent 20 run. It il con-
ceded, however by Democrats and Rcpull-
lieans alike, that the nomination is a
strong one, and that Mills will develop the
tutl strength Of his party in the district.
The Farmers Alliance Convention for
this Senatorial district, meets here to-
day, and much speculation is INDUCED in
as to the probable action OF this conven-
ton. 1t is not definitely known whether
the Farmers Alliance will make the fight
triangular one by putting up candi-
date of their own, or indorse the candi-
date of one or the other parties There
is widespread impression, however, that
she convention to meet to-day will indorse
the candidacy of Senator Mills.
Judge Duncan, Of Lee County, was iii
town this seek, and says that the Demo-
Gratis of Lee County will makesan active
fight to secure the nomination. Of the
Democratic convention which meets here
on the 30th, for Or. w. N. Mcneil, of that
county. The Judge says that Mcneil is q
man of ability, and the strongest man
that the Democrats can put up to fght
Mills with.
The impression prevailing here that the
Farmers Alliance will indorse Mills to-
day has caused a great deal of talk as to
who the Democrats should nominate, and
it seems to he the opinion of most Of the
Democrats, talked with by Posi- reporter
that the only man who could beat Mills in
such a contingency is, 9. F.Flannary, Of
Wise G. a., and it is more than likely that
the Democrats of Wise will demand Of
Mr.. Fiannary that he shall sacrifice his
private interests TO lead the Democracy IL
victory this fall.

of the stolen ones, but failed TO do So

A GREAT BATTLE.
To be Engaged in by two Great Corpora
lions OF the Country.

NEW YORK, Sept. lG.-The two great cor
porations in this country with whicll the
public have the most 10 do are the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and the
American Bell Telephone Company. In
one sense they are rivals. In tie other,
in as much as the former has profted by
the success of the latter, they are one.
But they have reached thc forked roads.
One must pursue one course and the ether
another. Before they separate they must
engage in death struggle.
1t will bea battle Of the Cyclops. Each
has monopoly, and hence the whole
American people to draw upon for The
sinews of war. The cider and stronger
corporation will be the aggressor. 1t has
already taken the first step and will force
decisive engagement this month in the
United States court in Boston.
The preliminaries are completed. Dur
ing the past summer scores OF lawyers.
electricians and detectives have worked
indefatiguably unearthing the evidence
which will form the basis Of the Western
Unions final attack. Their disclosures,
if substantiatcd, will create Il sensation
in judicial, legal and financial circles.

ssasasssE !, ", Sept. -'The docket
is by far the largest ever had and the
mosr important, there being q large
number of suits involving big interests.
Titles to lands, endorsements of contracts
relating to lands, enforcing liens, collect
ing money &c,
The docket is made up as follows: Old
common law causes 90; New common
law causes 20: New common law causes
settled before court and dismissed at rules
i0 Old equity causes III; New equity
causes, T1--total 32l causes.
The most important common law causes
are several cjectinent suits, one or two of
which will probably be tried this term.
That Of Dan Carriers Heirs VS.. Wilson
Rose, ct ais, was Get for Thursday, and a
special jury summoned. About two days
will probably be consumed in this case.
The title to large boundary of land in
the eastern portion OF the county is in
volvcd
The first three days Of the term were
taken up in disposing of the other COM
mon law cases, and in calling the old and
new equity dcckcts, in hearing demurrers,
and submitting cases on their merits.
judgments we're obtained in most of the
common law cases without contest. In
the remainder, pleas Of various sorts were
entered, and usually the causes continued
to the next term for trial on the issues by
jury.
1t has been BY far the most technical
session Of the court ever held. Plcadings
have been moro narrowly scrutinized, and
more sharp shooting done along the Skin
mish lines than ever before; more mo-
tions to quash, and demurrers to plead
ings, many of which have been ably ar
gucd and presented in new and interest
ing lights This is doubtless accounted for
by the hard times, and the unwillingness
Of parties to have Judgments 90 against
them, except as a last resort.
But few Of The eases submitted have as
yet reached any decision on their merits.

and heavy that he backed down till the
post odds became > and to |. He liter
ally ran away from the field in the home
stretch, and won by ten lengths. The
bets on him were quickly cashcd and the
owners disappeared without calling for
the $500 purse he won. The hoolsmakcrs

TOWN COUNCIL.
Appropriations Made for the Electric Light
and the Water Companies. Valley Street
+ Railway Extension.

= A meeting of the Town Council was
held Friday night at the Mayors office.
The business before the council was the
appropriation the city should make for
electric lights. 1t was decided that
twelve hundred dollars should be paid the
Electric Light and Power Co. for the en-
suing year for the thirty arc street lights.
This is the cheapest rate paid by any city
that does not operate its own electric
light plant.
Six hundred dollars was voted the Wa
ter company for the use OF the thirty fire
plugs that have been put in by that COM
pany.
The next business TO come up was on
the application of the Valley Street Rail
way Co. to be granted the privilege to
build the contemplated line from the Fifth
Street bridge back Of the Jail to the up
per end of the Imboden reservation. AT
first there was some opposition to the
granting of this franchise, but Gen. Ayers
succeeded in getting resolution passed
granting the desired privilege.
r. Il. Irvine, CITY Attorney, was di-
rected to codify the town ordinances pre-
liminary to their being printed in the
