C—4 a, m. —Tho capture of Loftcha by the Itussinns iss soriona event for tho Turks, sinco it will greatly hamper, if not oltogethor defeat, the movement of Suleiman Pasha towards a junction with Osman upon the River Osman, ‘That this .movoment, which was the most important Suloiman could mako after his foiluro at Schipka, waa foreseen by tho Rus. sian Commander-in-Chiof, is now more than probable, and doubtleas induced tho lat- ter to MAME THE ASSAULT ON LOFTOHA, His boldness has beou rowardod, and for the present Gabrova is aafo, The possession of Loftcha will also givo the Russians con- sidernblo advoutago in- tho attack upon Plovna, now reported to bo in progross, At any rate it is evident that the dofense of Behipka, tho ropulso inflicted on the ovor- daring Turks ot Peligat, and the capture of Loftcha havo oncouraged the Russian staff to VIGOROUS OFFENSIVE ACTION, and this wook and next will probably wit- ness florcer and moro momontous combats than any yot recorded. ADDITIONAL, (By Cadleto The CAlcago Tribune, Lonpon Orrtox or Tire Cricago Tarnunr, 6 Pazonave Pracy, Staann, Sept. C—5 a, in, —Farthor information indicates that tho storming of Loftscha by the troops of Gon, Skobeloff was not an isolated enterprise on tho part of tlro Russian armics in Bulgarin, but one incident in a sories of operations, It seoms probable that ot the samo time that the torrifie assault, which yesterday's tole. grams roportod, was being made at Loftsohs, there was SOME FIGHTING AROUND PLEYNA. It will bo remembered that on tho last day of August Osman Pasha aidvanced from his intronched position at that place along tho high road which londs toward Tirnova, Abont ten miles from Plevna, at tho Village of Polisat, his column fell in with tho Rus- sion outposts intrenched on the brow of a gentloslope that risos from a hollow into which tho high road dips a fow hundred yards east of tho villago horo, A FIERCE ENCOUNTER TOOK PLACE, the Russiaus Lelng drivon back four miles, when they were suddenly reinforced by about 3,000 troops, who in turn beat back the ‘Turks in great confusion to Pelisat, On Saturday and Sunday all appears to have been quiet around Plevna, On Tuos- day tho Rusaians commenced their attack on Loftcha, a few milos south of the main posi- tion of Osman Pasha, and were held there by his force for twelve hours, The attack ended late in tho evening. After desperate fighting ‘THE INTBENCLMENTS WERE CABBIED, but ata great cost, The Turkish force that held them had beon thinned by the fire of arbillery, which is destribed as terrific, At tho same tiino as the assault of Loftcha was begun, a Russian attack was also made on the main army of Osman Pasha Av PLEYNA, but here the Turkish force was larger, and the defense would be moreobstinste. Tues- day night, when the Russian standard had already been run up over the amoking ruins and blood-staiyed remuants of the breast- works of Loftcha, the Ottoman garrison at Plovua still stood savagely at bay. It was, however, whispered that the attacking col- umns might Le able toforee their way into the place the following day. Tho Grand Duke Nicholas, who scams to have been at tho carlist period of there actions still at Poredin, is reported to havo arrived in the Reursinn limes opposite Plevna late Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. IIB PEBSENCE ALONE WOULD INDICATE, that some serious event was contemplated, and thnt somo great exertion was expected from the Tussian ond Roumanian troops engaged with Osman Pasha. ‘This General would not be exposed to attack from the allicd forcon on tho left bank of the Vid, whore the Roumanian army 18 in close union with tho Russian force formerly under the immodiate command of the Grand Duke Nicholas, and now guided by Princo Charles. AT CABADIA the bulk of the Roumanian army baa cromod the Danube, and by the beginning of this week must have beon {nn position to act from the northwost ngainst the flank and rear of tho Turkish troopa at Plevns. THIERS, BROMEMENg IN ORRMANY CAUSED BY UTS DEATH, {By Cable to The Chicago Tribune.) | Loxpox Orricy or Tan Crcaco Tamoxe, G Patonave Puace, Stnanp, Bept. 6—4 a. m.--Tho death of Thiers has cansed extraor- dinary oxcitemont, not only in France, but throughout Europe. Berlin newspapers nro unanimous in thoir oulogies, and they merely givo exprossion to the conviction of univorsal Germany that he was one of the main guar- antees of European peaca, It is well known that Bismarck distrusta tho Bonapartist and Orleanist -partics, fearing the military pas- sions of tho formor and the clerical inclins- tions of tho latter, but he has littlo confi- dence in the Republican party, now that the moderating influence of Thiérs is removed. ‘The truth is that almost all partics in France excopt the handful af Legitimist fanatica on “tho one hand and tho the Demooratic enthu- siasts on tho other wero restrained by ro- spect for the powerand popniarity of the voteran atateaman, What may happen, now, that the check is removed, is difficult to pre- dict, but tho gravest opprchousions are nronsed. ” ACTUAL WA TRE FONTIB PROM austcuox.

PENNSYLVANIA. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION, Special Inepateh to Tie Tribune. Hannrisncro, Pa., Sept. 5.—-The Republican Btate Convention, which met here today to nominate caniitates for Bupreme Judge, Au- ditor-General, and State Treasurer, possessed more than usual interest for the avcrage polltl- clan. Itwas the first gathering of the Key- stone Republicans since the issue of President Hayes‘ celebrated circular, and sloce the derel- opment of his Ilue of action toward the outh, and its voice was expected to ne ralsod for ven- geance on the President. But such was not the case, snd “istead of having ‘square fight between Hayes and Cameron the whole affair was. quieted down hy @ quasi-tndorsement of the whole of President Hayes’ policy. The main contest in the Conventiun was between Gov, Hartranft, on one Fide, and Senator J. Dou Cameron on the other. Both bad pet candidates for the nomination of Auditor Gencral, the Gorernor's proteze being H. J. Reeder, of Easton, and Ben- ator Cameron’s preference was J. A. M. Pase- more, of Bcbuylkill. Heeder, backed by Hart- ranft, has been* promised the nomination for some time past, but latterly Canieron interposed his authority and declared for Passmorn, giving as a reason thet he was the strong- est man, and in o contest such os Is Ukely to occur this fall the strongest should be put forward, It ts nasorted, bowover, that Senatur Cameron really put his man forward tn order tofecl Hartrauft's strength, the Intter having developed Iately into a very formidable opponent to Mr. Cameron for the United States Seuatorship tn 1579. In the Convention Capt. Willlain B. Hart was nominated “for State Treasurcr, James P. Sterrett fur Supretne Indge, and the fight on the Auditor-Generalship then began, The op- position to Benator Cameron began with a systematic attack from a number of delegates un the Treasury Ring, and they denounced Cameron in unmeasured terms for preeuming to dictate who should hold offices in this State, Cameron's friends DENIED YEORMENTLY that he waa attacking Hortranft through Reeder, but it was mauitest that thelr defense Was weak. The elimax was reached when A. Wilson Nor- ris, who has long becu a Caweron ringster, te- yolted, and called on the Young Republicatis to follow him. The following was small, eson the first ballot Passinore received 185 votes to TReeder’s 62, and thus the Clan Cameron cama to the front, us ft alwas bas after a bitter fight.

Hannisnvxa, Pa., Scpt. 5.—The moat notable thing about the State Republican Convention to-day was the absence of the Feacral office- holding olement, the President's Clvil-Service order bearing on this point having received un- questioning assent thruugbout Pennsylvania, If Federal oftice-holdera were present {t was in the spirit, not in tho flesh. Nevertheless, the Convention seemed to get along very well,—s0 well, indcod, that {tis quite probable that the people will hereafter insist upon the observance ofgthe precedent thus set, whether tho Presl- dent persists in bis requirements or not, The permanent Preafdunt was the Hon.

Itis believed, however, that Hart- ranft could have sayed Reeder if he had uot been frightened at the bold front of the Cam- cron people. Nassmors DONS NOT POSSESS ann COMVIDENCH OF TUM but the other nominations aro unexceptionable.
