FOE SUPREME JUDGE:
HENRY GREEN",

FOE AUDITOR GENERAL :
JOHN A. LEMON,
Blair County.
The Virginia Republican State
Convention has selected a solid Grant
delegation to Chicago.
The most earnest and truest Re
publicans are those that now call a
bah and stand ready to zealously
support the nominee cf the Chicago
convention.
The politicians and newspaper men
who are so industriously figuring up
the delegates to the Chit-ago Conven
tion, would do well to remember that
he counts best who counts last.
Hakfrt T. Lincoln is the son of
Lis father Abraham, and Stephen A.
Douglas is a chip of the old block.
Like their fathers before them, they
fight with Grant Omaha Jlepul
lican.
The Illinois Greenback-Labor Con
vention met at Springfield on Wed
nesday last and went through the
motions of nominatiaff a fall Stale
and Electoral ticket as if it had as
eurance cf electing both.
All the indications now point to a
s .lid North marching under the Cag
that will be thrown to the breeze at
Chicago, and should General Grant
be iti ft nominee there will not be a
solid South against him.
Jldue Black is laboriously aiding
the anti-Grant boomers in their cru
sade against tba third term, while the
N. Y. Tribune is daily asserting that
all Democrats are anxious for Gen
eral Grant's re-nomination.
It was the vote of the Southern
states that elected the present Re
publican president Tbey went for
Grant in 1S72. aad will do so again
iT not diffrancbued, as tbe New
York Tribune, and other such jour
nals, appear to think tbey should be.
Tde New York Tribune inquires.
"I General Grant to be nominated
in order to please the Democrats ?"
Well, hardly. Judging from tbe
Sun, Jli-ralJ, World, etc, tbey would
seem to be about of the same opinion
as tbe Tribune. It would make
them all "scratch." Inter-Oaan.
Tue highest duty of the RepuHic
n party is to ature mccc!B, ana the
riirht war to a-ure fcucf-f is to
stand solidly together.
All true Republicans will so con
duct themselves as to preserve tb
unity of the party, and heartily ac
qaiesce in and support the nomioa
tion made at Chicago.
CnicAOO delegates were elected in
Ibe 1st District of Massachusetts
Tuesday, and both of them
claimed for Grant. This result
on
are
has
excited the "Scratcher" innocents,
who supposed they could get up an
anti-Grant movement by supporting
Edmonds, an avowed Grant man
Iribune.
We observe a paragraph going tb
founds, to the effect that Ex Speakc
Grow, when in Washington lately,
stated that if General Grant was
nominated at Chicago, that be cannot
carry Pennsylvania. We do not be
lieva that Mr. Grow ever said any
thing of tbe kind. If be did, it only
shows that be knows as little about
his own state now as be did in 187
The anti-Grant journals, some time
since, set op ibe claim that SenaU
Dlaine would capture Ohio from
Sherman and Illinois from Grant,
and much ado was made over the
selection of a few Blaine delegate
from each of them. Subsequent elec
tions for delegates to tbe conventions
of these states prove, that Sherman
will carry Ohio and Grant Illinois by
large majorities.
The politicians who are bush
whacking General Grant from behind
tbc cover of Senator Blaine's honored
name, have been loudly claiming
that Massachusetts is against the Ex
President The Boston Saturday
Evening Gazelle says:

Ir is a favorite statemennt of cer

favor Grant as a Republican candi
date. In a recent interview. Ex

The Democratic State Convention
meets at Ilarrisburg to-day (25th

lime between the factions. Both
wings claim to have a majority of
the delegates. Speaker Randall leads

Ix estimating the preferences of
Connecticut Republicans upon tbe
Presidential sulject, tbe Courani has
been guided chiefly by the voles in
caucuses in different parts of the
State, such as Meriden, Waterbury,
New London, and elsewhere, and in
the county caucueaes at the Stale
Convention. So far noticed these
were for Edmunds first by a large
majority, and always for Grant in
preferecce to Blaine. If there were
any exceptions tLey have escaped
attention. Hartford Covrant.
It is generally cooceeded that in
tbe event cf tie South voting solid
ly for tbe Democratic nominee no
Republican can be eLcted President
without tbe vote of New York. It
is not claimed that any Republican
candidate can carry a single South
ern state, unless General Grant can
secure South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana, wbere he is much stronger
than was Mr. Ilaves in 1ST0. Tbis
makes him the strongest Republican
candidate in tbe Geld, inasmuch as
he is fully as s.rong io New York as
is arjj wther of his rivals, and much
strooger in the South. Grant may
Le elected without New York. No
other Republican can be.

less strougly averted that tbis county
contains a large preponderence of
Blaine Republicans. We observe,
however, that in tbe Tribune's sum
mary it reports twenty committee
men as answering from Somerset
county, tea of whom name Giant as
their first choice, and ten name
Blaine. Moreover two of the an
swers for Blaine were furniebed by
persons who are not, and were not

To those who set store by the

It is a patent fact "that there is a
power over and above committee",
and that is tbe party that created
them," but it is alno a trucism that
all attempts to ignore or overthrow
regularly constituted authority, is
rebellion. The Meyersdale clique ia
therefore in rebellion against tbe Re
publican party of this county. Re
bellion is justifiable when oppression
becomes unbearable, but what justi
fication can there be for revolt
against an authority set up by them
selves, and which they have never
felt. The assertion that "tbe Re
publican party of Somerset Cou ity
will not limit its action to the course
marked out by the Chairman of the
County Committee," coming as it
does from a handful oi voters, is as
cxqsifitly ridiculous as tba famtd

The Array Appropriation bill hts
finally passed the Senate, as it came
from tbe House, bv a strict party
vote. As the bill disarms the United
States iroops on election day, it was
sought by the Republicans to disarm
the men who hang around tbe polls
and with arms terrify Republican
voters. The proposition was de
feated, and the Democrats have put
themselves on record as being in
favor of armed bands ot red-shirt
reflemen controlling elections, but
opposed to any armed police to keep
tbe peace and prevent intimidation.

St Louis, April 20. The first
dispatch direct from Marehfield was
received last night by tbe Globe
Democrat It -gives the following
description of tbe storm :
This town and county were vinited
by one tbe most destructive cyclones
on record last evening. After pass
ing ttrough several miles of country
in Cbrimiao, Green and Webster
counties, destroying everything in its
pathway, levelling houses, barns
mills, and timber, it struck this town
about C o'clock. Eve witness of
tbe approaching storm ray it was a
frigbtful-lookiug black cloud, lined
With fleecy white, funoel-abaped, and
moving io tbe manner of a screw
propellor. It moved with wonderful
velocity, blowing away everything in
its path, which was about half a mile
wide at tbis point Trees were
twisted off, telegraph wires snapped,
and tbe bark was literullv peeled
from small trees Hout-es were blowo
from tbeir foundations. Cattle, hog,
sheep, horses and poultry were whirl
ed into the air aod carried a great
iistance. The noise of tfce storm,
tbe crash of falling house, and ibe
cries and screams of terrified people
made a momeui of horror that beg
gars description. What wan a besu
lful, peaceful town of S00 inhabitant
tweoty-foor hours ago is now a
waste of desolation Out of 200

About three o'clock a freight train
from Springfield brought about 300
persons with provisions and medi
ciues for the wounded. As rapidly
as the bodies of tbe dead aod wound
ed could be extricated from tbe ruins,
hey were prepared for interment
The wounded were conveyed to ta
ouly available structure left stand

was turned into a bopHal, and there
are now fifty wounded io the build
ing under tbe care of women frons
Lebanon and Springfield, who are
doing all ia their power to alleviate
tbe sufferings of those under tbeir
charge.
The number iniured is said to bo
about 200, but of course a large pro
portion of these received only slight
ii.jury.
A great many ladies are lving in
tbe Court house". Of tbe total num
ber killed, which is not short of 100,
not m'ore than a dozen have been
buried.
The loss of property by this ter
rible calamity is estimated at $350,
000 to $100,000. Every busineHK
bouse in tbe place is io rnius, and tbe
stocks of goods are all destroyed, ex

Marsbfield, who yesterday had hap

One hundred and fifty families are
left homeless and helpless by ibi

rt. v - . .....
w auuug waa aaoi ana Killed at
t:30 o'clock this evening bv I f
Kallocb, soa of I. S. Kollocii, in tbe
Uhronicle olBce.
ibis tragedy is tbe outgrowtii of
tbe shooting of Kallocb. tbe present
Mayor, by Charles De Young, which
occurred on tbe 23d of August last
The circumstances which led to tbat
affair were as follows: After Kal
loch was nominated by ibe Working
men of So Francisco as tbeir candi
date fur mayor, Charles De Young
iu a speech at the state convention of
Honorable Bilk, announced thai he
would compell Kailucb'a withdrawal
from tb contest. .Subsequently be
notified Kallocb tbat, unless he with
desw, be would rake up his record in
tbe columns of tbe Chronicle Kal
locb eeut word back for bim to go
abead; that be could tell worse
things about De Young than tbey
cuuld briug "gainst him. Tbe Chron.
tele came out with a Log article re
viewing Knllocb'a career ia Bostoa
aud Kansas, dwelling particularly on
bid reported amours aod also veoti
latiog his political and business re
cord. Ou Thursday and Friday tbe
Chronicle contained similar and more
elaborate articles, aod dragged in
KHoeb's father, now dead, recount
ing sundry immoralities on bis pari
Kallocb bad advertised a mass meet
ing at tbe Metropolitan Temple last
uigbi, at which it was given out that
be would read a copy of an article
published auru Eve years ago by B
F. Napbtaly, in a pper called "The
&un. This at tide was an attack
upon the personal and family record
of De Young of a most pronounced
character, and led to an attempt on
tbeir part to kill Napbtaly, which
failed. De Young sent Kallocb word
tbat if be read that article be would
shoot him oa tbe spot. Tbe article
was read, the most offensive portion
assailing the character of De Young's
father. The love t f De Young for
his mother, who is 70 years old, bad
been evidenced ia tbe care he bad
takea tbat nose of the slanders upon
tbe memory of ber long dead hus
band should come to her notice
These slanders were published ia a
paper called the Sun, long since ex
tinct, aud, while the Chronicle was
engaged ia deaouueing them, a spe
cial editioa of uti copy was nightly
printed for tbe nsti of 'the old lady,
made up so as to exclude all no'.ice
of the troubles. But for the bot
ing of Kallocb the mother would
probably never have knjwa that she
bad been mentioned disrespec fully,
Tbe wound received by Kallocb at.
first supposed to be of a fatal charac
ter, proved not to be so terioqs, aod
be recovered and was sworn io as
mayor.

Stvt York, April 21 A fatal
disaster cecured at tbe Madtsoo
Square Garden at 9:30 o'clock to-oigbt
tbe western or Madison avenue end
of the structure tailing while tbe gar
den was full ot people attending the
Hahnemann Hospital Fair. There
were about 800 people in the building,
when half tbe front of tbe building
gave way, the wall falling outwards.
Part of tbe roof adjoinin? also fell io
with a crash, and caused ioteose al.
arm inside the building. This siJe
of tbe building was used a a dancing
ball and picture gallery of tbe fair
Mrs. W A Ogdea a prominent lady
manager of the fair, aod wife of one
cf be di-ec.ora f 'he Uiited S ate-t
Lfe Insu a ce Company, was the
first pers n taken out of the debrif.
Sbe was suppose! to b dead, but
some sig'-s of life being discovered,
she waa taken to Bellevue Hospital
Wm F. Tilestoo, of New York, had
a leg broken Mrs James Smub, of
Flushing, had an arm broken, aod
o' her ii juries. The pan of building
wbicb fell was mainly occupied as aa
art gallery. Tbe pictures were loaned
aud in-oiied for $150,000 against fire
alone, but, so far as kuowo, uot again
st other accidents. It is likely these
pictures have been so much injured
as to be almost worthless Mrs. A
Willett, ot East Thirty-first street,
who was with other ladies ia the art
gallery, was killed. Toree other
women were iujured, amoog tbem
being Miss Josie Streeter, sbe receiv
ed internal injuries, wbicb, it is fear
ed, will prove fatal, and was taken
borne by friend -t. Mrs. W. II. Til
estoo was fatally injured. Two horses
were killed instantly, and one sose
verely injured tbat had to be shot.
Several backmen outside the build
ing were eevtrely iujur d It is
believed that over a huudred persons
io the building received severe inju
ries, but they were removed so q iick
by tbeir trieuds tbat it was impossible
to ascertain particulars to-oigbt. Tbe
fire and police departments were
promptly on band, and are at work
removing the debris Several persons
were removed from tbe ruins io a
fainting condition, and carried to
neighboring houses before their names
or the extent of tbeir injuries could be
ascertained. The dam aire of ihi
building is estimated at $25,000 to
$10,000.
