est pleasurelto sustain all bis measures
and policy, that are in harmony
with Republican principles, usages and
traditions, lo take any other course
would, in bur judgment, be inconsistent
with political good faith and render us
remiss in duty. To expect more or less
of us now would be to impugn our po
litical integrity and question our good
sense. As Republicans we shall favor
and advocate all public improvements
by which inter-btate commerce may
be promoted and strengthened, and the
resources of the entire nation may be
developed into wide spread prosperity.
We shall not contend tor a tan n tor
protection, but for revenue. We are
in fayor of remonetizmg silver and

cate the issue of greenbacks, backed

equal to the wants of business and
trade, and which shall be received the
same as gold and silver for all dues to
the government and individuals.
It is confidently stated that Sena

somewhat more loosely stated that the

is solid for Randall.

"CpiCAGo, October 1. Information
received by telegraph from the depart

lief that the Apaches, of Arizona,

London, October.!. This morning's
Standard publishes "the following spe
cial dispatch,: V?
Sofia, . Sept. ). jLrustworthy infor
mation has been; received here that
08 man Pasha has, repulsed the. Russo
Roumanian attack on his front and left,
inflicting heavy Idsses. It is said that
he attacked the Russians on the Lo
vatz road and recovered several posi
tions.. This seems to agree with; the
report publiBhed.in the Constantinople
n e w spaper s, y esterday , that Os m an
Pasha .had . defeated the Roumanians
before Plevna, butc there is no more
reagon!tob,elievenathan the other."
'The Standard'a details resemble the
fight of Sept 11th "and 13th, remark
ably. As the ImperialGjiard, num
bering 56,000, is said to be due before
Plevna by the 5th inst., it is highly
improbable that the Russians have
made a general assault without them.
The Standard's correspondent with
the Turkish army telegraphs from
Pleyna: "Osman Pasha's losses from
the Russian cannonade are exceeding
ly light, but on the day when he retook
the redoubts in .the Loftcha road, he
lost 3,900 men. There 'are now, Sep
tember 23rd, only 1,900 wounded at
Plevna.",
A Standard Bucharest special says
Gen Todebenzo's plan of the situation
at Plevna has been laid before Grand
Duke Nicholas. It is understood to
declare that a siege of operations on
a most extended scale is requisite for
the capture of the placeV
The Czarewitch visited Gorny Studin
Saturday, to relinquish command of
the left flank and resume command cf
the Imperial Guard.
The second Turkish convoy for Plev
na has returned to Orkani, the Rou
manian cavalry having captured eight
wagons of grain.
Grand Duke Nicholas has the liver
complaint.
The first Turkish convoy which en
tered Plevna consisted of two hundred
wagons ; the number of wagons in the
second convoy is not reported. The
correspondent says of the Russians be
fore Plevna : ''They eeem completely
at sea. They have no plan, no idea,
no head They are waiting for rein
forcements which are arriving slowly,
and which, when all are here, will
hardly more than cover their losses by
battle and sickness during the last two
momns. i minK nisiory oners no
such example or a splendid army m
such an utterly helpless condition.
Sulieman Pasha is fortifying at Schip-
ka pass, apparently with the intention
of wintering there."
Paris, October!. The Russian tele
graphic agency .prints a Bucharest
dispatch which declares mediation im
possible. A solution of the questions
between Russia and Turkey must be
sought for on the battle-field. Diplo
macy may intervene later. The same
dispatch says Gen Todleben succeeds
Gen Zotoff as chiefof-staff to the Prince
of Roumania, before Plevna.
Cincinnati, October 1 Hon Cassius
M Clay, yesterday morning shot and
instantly killed a negro named Perry
White Gen Clay. had. .employed
White's mother as - cook, but finding
that she had been robbing, him of sil
ver plate and other articles, had dis
charged her. Yesterday i morning he
started from his farm six .miles' from
.Richmond, Jiy., to visit a negro church
in the neighborhood, for" the purpose
of hiring another servantWhile on the
way he perceived a loose horse in a
pasture near the road-side, and the ne
gro. Perry White endeavoring . to con
ceal himself behind the animal. White
had threatened Clay's life and i was
known as a desperate character, and
upon perceiving him i Clay immediate
ly leaped down, confronted the negro
and ordered him to throw up his bands .
Th e n egro , obeyed, and Clay talked
to him roughly? and ordered 'him to
leave the place and telling him that if
he moved from his position until he
(Clay) was re-mounted he would kill
him. As soon as Clay started for his
horse the negro rushed after him, but
Clay turned suddenly, fired twice, hit
ting the negro in the neck and breast.
Gen Clay then rode to town and deliv
ered himself to the authorities. The
feeling of the community is entirely
with Clay. White had the reputation
of being a bully and a dangerous man.

London, October l.-The Times' Madras
correspondent, reviewing the actual ef
fects in that presidency, of the" famine
anddiseases consequent on the famine,
says: "The registered deaths of the
present year up to the end of June,
were 370,000 above the average. This.
according to the opinion of the district
officers, does not represent more than
two-thirds of the actual mortality, and
we have further to add ti e deaths
which have occurred since and have
not yet been officially reported." The
correspondent s conclusion is that not
less than 750,000 persons have fallen
victims, and even these figures will pro
bably be largely increased . before the
lamine and its after-wave of suffenne
have finally passed away.

THE XJBjJDTJSTOr
Chicago, October 1. There has been
a stirke on the Pacific Central Narrow
Gauge Railroad at the end of the line
near Circleville for three days past,
because ot not being paid tneir wages
early Saturday morniDg. A party of 20
citizens left this city on a special train
for the scene of the disturbance, and
at Holton was joined by sheriff Wil-
iams. of Jackson county, and a posse
of fifteen men from Leavenworth, made
part of the sheriff s posse, and the
train proceeded to the end of the line
beyond Circleville.,, Here a large body
of strikers were congregated, many on
horseback, and headed bv Hartman.
The party was greeted with all kinds
of abusive epithets. Martman espe
cially was very offensive in language
and demonstrative in action. Capt
Tough, formerly United States Marshal
for the Western District of Kansas,
who had been selected as the leader of
the porge, commanded. Hartman s
halt was answered by a pistol shot, and
the vosse was ordered to fire over h:8
head, which was Idone, and Hartman
replied with two eshots from his re
volver. The posse then, under direc
tions, fired upon Hartman. He died
the same evening and the train return
ed to Circleville, where it was met by
a great crowd of strikers.
A warrant was sworn out against
Capt Tough, who was arrested, but was
released on his own reconizance.
At H6lt'oh the' train was confronted
by another body of strikers who took
possession oi tpe switch and declared
that they would not let the tram pass
unless i the u-posse surrendered Capt
Tough to them. This was not done,
and tbe ' train backed - out, and subse
quently the 'posse left the train and
marched jnto Holton and took up
quarters in the hotel, which was soon
surrounded by armed j strikers, who
finding that the vosse was twell nrenarv
ed, did notfattack: thehouse. Capt
Tough Vas again arrested and released
on f 10,000 bail.
