they're nominated for Governor the
poltroon who was afraid to nave -ar

own party who assainated Judge
Chitiolm nd Lis iufaut thildreu. In
Ohio their gubernatorial candidate is
an old Know Nothing; and (a
Maine their candidate was elected as
a Republican to the State Senate in
ISjfi, and, as President of that body,
became Governor on the refcignatiou
of Hannibal Hanilia to accept the
I'nited States Senatorhip. In IS72
Le voted for Horace Greeley, ia 1 S74
he was elected to the Legislature as
an Independent Republican, and
acted with the Republicans during
the session, and ia 1STC he condoned
til Lis previous offenses, ia the eyes
of the Democracy, by voting for Til
den and thus qualifying himself to
accept Lis present candidacy. Truly,
polities, like misery, acquaints u
with strange bed-fellows.
litis. Joiix Shebmax, Secretary of
the Treasury, some ten days since,
when on a visit to Lis borne ia Mans
field, 01 io, in response to a public re
ception, made a speech (the fact that
be would do so was heralded by the
press several weeks in advance), in
hich be discussed the policy of the
Administration in regard to the paci
fication of the South, the reduction
f the expenditures of the govern,
went, the reform of the civil service,
end tLe refumption of specie pay
ments. The speech is an able one,
Las attracted a food deul of atten
tion, and ia considered the opening
cn of the Ohio campaign.
Ue observe that a por'.ion of the
press is disposed to arp about the
fact that the Secretary made this
Fpeeeb. and more than insinuate that
bis 60 doing was a flagrant violation j
of the new civil service rules forbid
ding office-holders from tating an ac

the first is lachrymal over the great
fraud perpetialed on Tildea by the
election of Hayes, the second and
third are swaggering, on tbe claim
that tbe President's Southern policy,

prrtense, hostility to increasing
our skeleton army, aod sympathy
with distressed and ' unemployed
labor, which it is cluiuied, it is the
mission of tbe Democratic party to
relieve, tbe sixth is assinine in its
hostility to protecting tbe domestic
industry, which it professes its anxie
ty to conserve, while its assumed
opposition to subsidies, land grants,
and monopolies, in tbe face of its
past history and present attitude, is
as monstrous as it is ridiculous, the
seventh is farcical in its assumed
fear of tbe great transportation com
panies claiming to be above the fun
damental laws of ibe State, and the
ast is cowardly in its evasion i( any
present declaration regarding the
finances of tbe country. Asa whole,
tbe platform is a crude mass ol
meaningless verbiage and silly froth,
a chaotic mass of words, designedly
unintelligible, or the product of a
wofullr addled brain.

arc not over vet by any means,
though the long-tbrcatcned 6trike in
the city has nut yet taken place. The
workingmen are not organized to
make it tbe success they desire, aad
it will be put off till tbe leaders have
their arrangenients thoroughly and
couinlcUily uiaje. Swiuton, Schwab
and 1 boinpson are buy among them,
organizing by trades and raising
funds to support tLe movement when
the breae is unuiiy made, luey ex
pect to have a piillioa of dollars, and
so complete an organisation that they
will be able to effectually nop all bus
iness, and dictata tcros U; uifi city,
and that without any rioting or blood
shed. One workman aked Swinlon
whether it would not bo better to
take

and pay it over to the unemployed
workmen, to help them along till
times got better ? Swintou's answer
was characteristic. "What is the ufe
of feeding men in this way i Do you
want to go on feeding them, or will
you compel capital to pay them to
that they can feed themselves? A
million of dollars is a mere nothing,
to pay wbat we want!" Justus
Schwab says but little but be sells

THE STORM TEAR.
This season Las been made memor
able by the number and severity of
the storms that have swept over this
coat. Never in tbe history of the
city have there been eo many or so vii
leut. Last bandar night, Coney Is
land, on which at tbe time were more
than 50,000 visitors, was swept by a
storm that was as severe as it was
unexpected. Rathing houses wero
taken up and carried bodily a quarter
of a mile inland, tables on the piazzas
were swept away, and men and wo
men sitting at them were burled vio
lently against tbe walls of tbe build
ings. Fortunately tbe hotels were
sufficiently strong to resist tbe beating
of the winds, else there would Lave
been a terrible loss of life. There is
a thunderstorm or two every day,!
and the nights are made lively by the
same agency. It was amusing lastj
Sunday on tbe boats that carry New
Vork out to get breath of fresh air
on the water. On the boat to Fire Is
land there were seven hundred pass
engers, a farious storm came op, and
every one of tbe seven hundred was
sea -sick. Tbe B'ght of seven hun
dred people vomiting at once is not
often vouchsafed, and would have
been amusing bad not tbe beholder
been too busy with bis own Individ
ual sickness to enjoy that of others.

WALL STSEET.
Not since the summer ol 1S73 has
there been such a "grip" acquired

Tbero ara those who do not taLc

one of them. This clique Lave dem

advancing the whole line in tLe face

corresnondent of tbe Daily AVtrs
write, describing the effect of i
the war io Russia as follows : "The j
peasants are being called off to join
tbe imperial army from all direc
tions. Wherever one goes families
are niouruin? because eitncr latner
or brother are under orders to start
within, perchance, only a few hours.
Families are broken upon all sides.
and wives are selling " tbe household
furniture. Tho 6trects of Moscow
are thronged ia many places wilb
household goods. The prices of pro
visions are rising proportionately.
Among upper classes bouses are io
the same stale of change. Those who
have retired from tbe army and navy
are in many cases being recalled. All
will, it is presumed, be summoned in
course of time. Whilst I write a
general call is being made for all to
serve in the military, and notices to
this effect have been served on all
those residing in Xo. 1 of the divi
sions of Moscow. House to bouse
visitations are also going on relative
to tbe number of meq, secants and
horses kept by every householder, a
large portion of whjcb must now be
parted with for public services.

and set up a chorus that

that he bad seen a rattlesnake aad

Tbe Miner' .Strike.
Abcut a year ego, Kuben-ttio, a
Polish Jew, was arretted, tried and
found guilty of the murder of 6 ara
Alexander, a Jewtss. A postmor
tem examination showed the girl to
be pregnant, and the theory as that
there had been criminal intimacy be
tacen the two, and that Uubenstcin
Lad killed j,er to nonccal it. ile was
sentenced to be bung, aai protesting
his iuuocence, starved binu;lf to
death. The ca.se was a peculiar one
and there were not wanting those
who believed in bis protestations of
innocence. Cut be died all the same,
aud his old father and UiCtLtT alo
died of grief, and the Ilubeatein
family were ruiued. And now conies
a man named Huber, who coufesses
that it was he who killed tbe Alexan
aer girl, ana that l;Qbentein was
innocent. He gave a full and eircuci
stantial account as to bow he became
possessed oi Rubenstein's knifo aad
boo:?, scd is so circumstautial ia his
account, tbat ttare can be but little
doubt tbat bis 6tatcaii.-Dt is correct.
Tbe affair shows how dangerous it is
to trust to detectives in sucb cases.
Tbey have a direct interest in Ending
some cue guilty, for unless they cau
discover a criminal, of wbat use are
tbey ? and eo when they tail to Cud
the murderer, tbey fasten the trime
upon the first person that suspicion
fan be directed against, and if they
havta't eridence they make it. There
is but little douiH th;t poor Kubeu
steiu was worried into ins rsye and
tbat tbe detectives are guil'y of tbe
death of bim and his en ibe family.

Tbe question which excited police
aod detective circlen yesterday was
what j ad beeoqiO of tiesa forgers.
Jayne started io 5jew Vork with
tbem, but reached here, as he gave
out, alone, It was concluded that he
was operating la tho interna qf the
defrauded banke-s for the rcturu of
the moneys which tbo forgers bad
obtained by their art-. The fact
tbat the arrests ia Chicago were made
in aa irregular manner, and tbat ibe
prisoners were brought to this city
without a requisition from the Gov
ernor of the State, were sufficient to
create uspipin. The fjjf'ibpr fact
tbat since their arrival here the pris

disorderly bouse in West Twenty
third street, kept by a notorious per
son nated (lat;;eron, who was Utely
driven out of l.einjtoq avenue by
