The 13 e in o c r a c y.
Gettlrg JEteady fur the Contest Their
Primary Elections and Nomi
nating Conventions The
Men - who Aspire to
be their . Candi
dates. ThlB evening, between the hours of 6 and 8, tse
annual primary elections of the Democratic party
we to be held ; and If any pood Democrat who de
sires to see a good ticket nominated has not done
Ms duty by voting early and often, before he reads
this article, let him hurry through with It and get In
at least one vote before the closing of the polls.
Under the new rules of the party, which now go into
effect for the .lirst time, the peop)e do not vote
directly for delegates to the different city, county,
end Judicial conventions, the members of these
bodies being selected by ward conventions, the
delegates to which are elected directly by the
people,, Bat in the case of the Congressional, leB'
lative, and ward nominating conventions, the dele
gates are voted for directly, after the old fashion
and according to the present usage of the Republi
can party. These latter conventions are all held to
morrow, commencing at 10 o'clock In the morning,
as well as the ward conventions for selecting dele
gates to the city, county, and Judicial conventions,
while the assembling of the latter six In number
takes place on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.
Altogether, there will be sixty different nominating
conventions held on the two days, the same number
as was the case recently In the Republican party.
The following are the places of meeting of the
conventions In the first four Congressional districts,
the elections In the three wards of the city which
are included In the Filth district being postponed to
some future time :
First District Convention at the old Court Ilouse,
Sixth and Chesnut streets.
Second District Convention at the Assembly
Buildings, Tenth and Chesuut streets.
Third District Convention at the Black Horse
Hotel (Morton's), on Frankford road, opposite
Hanover street.
Fourth District Convention at Klnkler's Hotel,
southwest corner of Broad and Ridge avenue.
The Senatorial Convention of the Third district
will be held at Ladncr's Military Hail, onjThlrd street,
below Green.
The conventions which assemble on Wednesday
morning meet at the following places:
Sheriff Convention at Washington Hall, corner of
Eighth and Spring Garden streets.
Register of Wills Convention In the large hall of
the Assembly Buildings, Tenth and Chesnut streets.
Clerk of Orphans' Court Convention at the
Supreme Court Room, on Chesnut street, above
Filth.
Receiver of Taxes Convention at the City Assem
bly Rooms, sonthwest corner of Ninth and Spring
Harden streets.
City Commissioner Convention at Concordia Hall,
on Callowhill street, below Fifth.
Judicial Convention, for nominating two candi
dates for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and
one candidate for Judge of tke District Court, at the
old Court House, corner of Sixth and Chesnut
streets.
The aspirants for the nominations are few, espe
cially when compared with the host from which the
recent Republican conventions were obliged to
make their selections.
Congress.
In the First Congressional district, Hon. Samuel J.
Kandall, who has been in the seat since 1863, will In.
all probability be renominated. Mr. Randall is a
native of Philadelphia, forty-two years old, and
before entering Congress was engaged In mercantile
pursuits, and Ugured quite prominently in local poli
tics, having been a member of City Councils four
years and of the State Senate two years. Mr. Ran
dall occupies a conspicuous position on the Uoor of
the House, and has a place, on several of the most
important committees. There la, however, some
opposition to his renomination, an effort being made
to persuade Lewis C. Cassldy to contest the nomina
tion. Mr. Cassldy Is well known as one of the quick
est and brightest lawyers who ligure in the criminal
courts or the city. In 1S57 he was the Democratic
candidate for District Attorney against William B.
Mann, and was returned as elected. Mr. Mann con
tested ,tlie return, however, and finally ousted him,
although the Legislature made an effort to settle it
by a special enactment authorizing both the con
testants to discbarge the duties of the cilice.
In the Second district, the dissensions at present
existing in the Republican ranks have given some
of the more sanguine Democratic leaders a hope of
success, provided a good candidate shall be nomi
nated. Theodore Cuyler, Esq., one of the leading
lawyers of the city, and a man of high personal
character as well as rare legal ability, lias been fixed
npon by these as the proper candidate, bnt it is un
derstood that he declines to rnn the risk of defeat,
and moreover is unwilling to sacrifice his large prac
tice at the bar. In case there was a certainty of
election. The Hon. H. M. Phillips is also spoken of for
the nomination. He Is a Democrat of the old school,
more of a statesman than a politician, a lawyer of
acknowledged ability, and sat in Congress from 1857
to 18S9. In 1869 he was appointed a member of the
Board of Directors of City Trusts. Charles W.
Brooke, Esq., has also announced himself as a can
didate. Mr. Brooke is comparatively a young man,
bnt he Is already one of the leading criminal lawyers
of the city, and of late has been attracting consider
able attention by the repeated delivery of a lecture
on "Irish Diamonds." Frederick Fraley, Esq.,
prominent In business circles, and for many years
President of the Schuylkill Navigation Company, bag
also been mentioned In connection -with the nomi
nation. In the Third district, Dr. John Moffet, who has
been in the drug business for years on Second street,
above Oxford, Nineteenth ward, and who was re
turned in It-OS as elected over Hon. Leonard Myers
by a bare majority of 137 votes, will doubtless re
ceive the nomination, as a recompense for the sum
mary manner In which he was thrown out of his seat
by the House, on the allegation of fraudulent votes.
Dr. Moffet is an Irishman by birth and thirty-eight
years of. age. He came to this cijty with his parents
in chtlUhood, was educated in the public schools and
the Medical Department of the University of Penn
sylvania, and served as a Director and Controller of
Jublic schools from 1800 to 1S69. Mr. John Kobolns,
r., however, is understood to be an aspirant for the
nomination. Mr. Kobblns has for several years
been prominent In the political movements of the
Democracy, and Is the son of the Hon. John Robblns,
who was a member of Congress from ltua to 1855.
Te independent stand taken by Geueral William
B. Thomas as a candidate against Judge Kelleyin
the Fourth district has somewhat demoralized the
Democracy, and it Is understood that they will make
no nomination In this district, but will leave the
masses of the party at liberty to rally with the disaf
fected Republicans to General Thomas' support, as
the only hope of defeating Judge Kelley. Mr. James
li. Nicholson, the prominent Odd Fellow, who was
the Democratic candidate in 1S68, is, however, a
candidate again, but If the convention should con
clude to make a nomination, he will find a ferml
dable rival In Mr. James S. Watson, a resident of
North Broad street, and well and favorably known
in business circles.
In the city portion of the Fifth district, no election
for delegates will be held to-day, as already stated.
Among tlie aspirants for the nomination spoken of
are Dr. John Reading, who held the seat for a few
months during the present Congress, until ousted by
Hon. Caleb N. Taylor, and Hon. Richard Vaax, the
eccentric ex-Mayor of the city.
(Sheriff.

xne LieffiNiitmre.
David A. Nagle, of the Fifth ward, and Samuel D.
EaUey, of the Twelfth ward, are the aspirants for
the seat In the State Senate from the Third district.
Mr. Nagle is the present member, and' has done
nothing particularly noteworthy during his term.
Before entering the Legislature he was a clerk In
Petersons' bookstore. Mr. Dally has represented the
jNintn district in me House or .Representatives lor
several terms. He remained a passive spectator of
all the city corruption schemes passed during his
stay at Harrisburg. At the last session he offered
a bill proposing to create a position to be known as
brick Inspector.
The candidates for the lower Ilouse, considering
the fact that but four districts at the last session
were represented by Democrats, are very numer
ous. In the First District Joseph Caldwell Is a can
didate. He has already served the district In the
Legislature. Judae John K. Findlav is also men
tioned.
In the Second district George McGowan, who
was defeated last year by reason of a split In his
party, Is again out. John McGinnis, an old member,
is desirous of returning. John Gallagher, of the
Second ward, has also announced himself. John It.
Fenner. late Coroner, is also desirous of visittner
Harrisburg.
In the Third district, the standing candidate, Owen
H. Qnlnn. Is working like a beaver "airalnst Sam.
Josephs and the ring."
cnristopner Kieinz, wno received the endorsement
of the Republican party at the last election, will, it
is thought, again run as Independent candidate.
in tne f ourtn district tnere is no show lor a De
mocrat, and no one as yet has appeared anxious to
figure on the ticket.
In the Fifth district Edward G. Carlln is the only
candidate. He was a member last year, prior to
wnicn ne was in tne employ or tne Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and was before that a city de
tective.
In the Sixth district, John F. Moeney, the old
member, will in all probability receive the unani
mous vote of the convention.
The Seventh and Eighth districts are Republican
beyond dosbt.
In the Ninth district. George Ouieiey. an old mem
ber; Daniel O'Marra, formerly tavern-keeper; Charles
x surest, a retired mason; John Sweeney, book
keeper; William A. Winterer, teller at the Philadel
phia Savings Fund ; and Robert Moore, stevedore,
have announced themselves.
The Tenth district Is Republican, and In the
Eleventh district Charles Gray is anxious to succeed
Mr. Bunn. Henry Yaughan, writing master, Joseph
F. Meyers, salesman at Tower Hall, and John F.
Bclsterling, formerly Mayor of Northern Liberties,
have also signified their desire to represent the
district.
In the Twelfth district a Democrat would have no
show. In the Thirteenth the fight between Michael
Mullen, the engineer of the Sewage bill through the
Legislature of last winter, and John Forsyth, the
present member, will be a b'.tter and perhaps bloody
one. John E. Faunce, lawyer, has also declared
himself a candidate.
In the Fourteenth district, John Lawrence will be
the candidate against John Cloud.
In the Fifteenth district, Francis D. Leldy, of the
Twentieth ward, is the only one to announce his In
tentions. In the Sixteenth district, Robert Wilde, a Mana

although it Is a close one, politically speaking.

THE FIRE MARSHAL,
Dr. BlacUburn'e Re!aMtoa-nu Honorable
Official (iareer.
Dr. A. W. Blackbnrn, who has held the position of
Fire Marshal of this city sloes 1857, a few days ago
placed his resignation In the bands of Mayor Fox,
and the latter official la holding the qnestlon of Its
acceptance under consideration. We are glad to
know that the Mayor will probably decline to accept
the resignation, and most sincerely hope that such
will be the case, as It Is rarely Indeed that any re
sponsible public position is filled with as much earn
estness, ability, and integrity as Fire Marshal Black
burn haa displayed.
Dr. Blackburn Is a native ot Stafford county, Vir
ginia, and received his education at Kenyon Col
lege, Ohio. During the war against the Seminole
Indians In Florida, ne was In the military service In
the Second Dragoons, and his first visit to Philadel
phia, which was made In 1836, was in connection
with army business. At the termination of hostili
ties, in 1839, he removed to Philadelphia, and has
continued to reside ever since. Ills first occupation
here was In a drug store, and while engaged in this
business he received the soubriquet of "Doctor," by
which he is still almost universally known.
In 1840 he abandoned the drug business to engage
In that of Journalism, and for ten years was one of
the ablest and most industrious reporters that has
ever been connected with the press of this city. At
different times he was connected with nearly every
daily Journal published here at the time. Ilia ac
counts of the great riots of May and June, 1844, were
especially known for their clear and graohtc delinea
tion of the terrible scenes of disorder and violence
which disgraced the city at that time.
In 18!H) he first became connected with the Douce
department. The Marshal's Police was then in ex
istence, and the Doctor soon made himself famous
among the "Killers" and other kindred disorderly
classes who had defied the authorities.
Atthetimeof the consolidation of the city and
outljing districts, in 1864, Mayor Conrad tendered
Mr. Blackburn the highest office In the police in his
gift, and afterwards offered hirn the position of
private secretary. Mr. Blackburn served as High
Constable and detective under Mayors Conrad and
Vaux, wincing great credit in the working up and
preparation for trial of several celebrated murder
cases, and the detection and arrest of shrewd coun
terfeiterB and desperate burglars.
in 1867, Mayor vaux divided tne detective rorces
Into several branches. Dr. Blackburn was assigned
to the charge of the fire branch, which he has filled
ever since, serving under Mayors Vaux, Henry, Mc
Mlchael, and Fox a period of more than thirteen
years. During that period he bad, up to the first
or tne presem year, arresieo.ni persons wno were
charged with Incendiarism. The number convicted
averages over one a mouth, which exceeds the con
victions of any other city of the Union. Since then
four men have been convicted one In January and
one on his own confession on Saturday lUHt, and two
during the past week.
The subject of this sketch, since 1850, has had the
tender of every position in the Police Department,
from a sergeantcy to the chlcfshlp, out he having so
zealously Identified himself with the tire detective
branch, he refused all. His work in this sphere is
so well known to every class of the community as to
be a part of the local history of the city. His annual
reports are eagerly sought after, and his theories
accepted everywhere by scientists and the the heads
of the fire detective bureaus in all parts of the
world.
He has been ever attentive to the duties of his
office, and considering the amount of labor he has
performed, be has been but illy compensated for his
services. Should he persist In resigning the city
will lose an otllclal with whom she cannot well afford
to part at this time. His health has been on the de
cline for sometime, and he intends as soon as he has
recuperated sntllciently to engage In a business in
which the public and the underwriters will have the
advantage of bis Information and experience.
On parting with a public official! such as Dr. Blaek
well has been, we wish him better health and better
success. In a pecuniary way, than he has known
since his connection with the Fire Detective branch
of the, Police Department.
DARIXG HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Our Streets No Longer Safe for Pedestrians.
Some years ago our citizens were kept in constant
fear and tremulousness by the many daring acts of
garroters, and none would attempt to stir out after
nignuau wnnout oeing neaviiy ariueu. r or a nine
these highwaymen set the authorities at defiance,
and kept increasing the boldness of their movements.
At length, however, the officers of the law succeeded
in capturing three or four of them, who were
speedily tried, convicted, and sentenced to a long
term of years In "Cherry Hill Mansion." This sum
mary method of disposing of them alarmed their
comrades, and they sought new fields.
Since then our city has been comparatively free
from highwaymen. Yesterday, however, a deed
was committed in the broad glare of the noonday
sun, on one or the broad niguways or tnis common
wealth, which, for atrociousuess, hardihood, aud
villainy, has scarce ever been paralleled In this or
any other city, and which serves to place the perpe
trators in the same category with "DickTurpla" and
"Slxteen-string Jack," and which should prove a
warning to our citizens who happen to carry cash or
valuables to keep a sharp lookout.
About noon time an individual, whose name is
unknown, whilst passing through Sergeant street,
near Cumberland, was attacked by William 11.
Kershaw, James Kershaw, and John McGill, seized
by the neck, hurled to the ground, and his pockets
rilled of all his valuables, amounting to Just three
cents. What adds to the atrocity of the affair is the
fact that the whole party were boys, the oldest being
but twelve years of age. We are happy to say that
the bold robbers were arrested and held to bail by
Alderman lleins.

sequel. j

Tfb Bmrornn Strbkt Dirtbict. The relapsing
fever continues to rage without abatement in Bed

to the necessity for the adoption ot some radical
measures to check it. last week fifty-one new rases
were admitted Into the Municipal Hospital. Of those
previously admitted thirty were discharged as cured
and two died. There are at present In the Hospital
one hundred and fifty-five patients, four-fifths of
whom at least are suffering from the relapsing

Rev. Mr. Long, the Bedford Street Missionary, In
forms ns that this morning he made a tonr of In
spection, In the course of which he found that a
number of the tenement-houses in Dorsey street a
blind alley running into Spafford street, below Ship
pen are -entirely unprovided with privies or water.
The people Inhabiting these miserable abodes pay
an enormous rental, and this deprivation of the
commonest conveniences is an outrage of the
grossest kind on the part of the landlords. These
tenement-bouses, It Is well known, are the best pay
ing property in the city, and the owners should at
least be compelled to provide privies and to put In
water for the benefit or their tenents. It cannot be
expected that people situated as the Inhabitants of

N. Y. MONEY MARKET ON SATURDAY.
From the A'. Y. Herald.
"The decline in the stock market hag had a dishearten
ing effect upoa the cliques who counted so conlidently on
a summer rise in prices. The market was dull enousti,
owing to the apprehension of what Congress might do,
but they oling to the expectation that with t he adjourn
ment of that body they would be able to revive the acti
vity of the street and bring in the public again. The con-
e'tmp of the iioyd-Ket churn failure has marred their
plans. Tbey dare not endeavor to sell out upon so sensi
tive a market as has been bequeathed them by this dis
aster. To begin the campaign afresh is up hill work. But
it is the only alternative to secure thennol.w.
"In thi Government list prices have been lower in cur
rency, but b'gher in gold. A few weeks ago prices
'crowed.' The present oondition of the market only veri
fies our prediction that in the gradual return to speoie
payments, and in tbe absence o( a compulsory Funding
bill, iiovernments will follow the deoline in gold by a con
stantly widening margin, for the reason that even with a
resumption of specie payments such securities will always
command a premium At the close of the week the 67 's,
which are taken as the feature of the list, were quoted 113
when gold was 111. If exceptions be taken to this illustra
tion on the ground that the t7's will soon be ex-coupon,
making their present value only 110, we can refer to the
sixes of lbHl, which are quoted 117s,. Were it not for the
privilege which the Government has of buying in the 6Vs
this year and the 67's in 1H72 at par in gold they would
range several per cent, higher.
"The money market at the close was easy at four per
cent, on call. Some loans were standing over at live per
cent., hut the general rate on Saturday wisas stited,
while the Government dealers were generally accommo
dated at three per cent. This ease in the face of ship
ments of currency to the West has occasioned consider
able snrprise. Tbe explanation lies in the reduced vo
lume of money required to carry stocks and gold since the
decline in prices. Commercial paper was steady for short
dates, buyers of four months' paper were not disposed to
concede better rates than seven per cent., a figure which
they look for in tbe open market before the expiration of
the t ime designated.
"Foreign exchange was strong and higher on Saturday,
and the prime bankers advanced their rates to 1U4'4, for
sixty days' sterling and llW'.f for sight bills. The market
was active under purchases by merchants, who thought
gold I eaaonably cheap at 111, while some of the foreign
bunkers have sold bonds to make the slight profit between
European and domestic prioe."
