New Complication in the Second Judicial District - Paul's Suc- cessor asa Candidato—Capi- tal City News, TPROM THE DEE'S LINCOLS BUREAT.] The invitation of Senator Van Wy for aspirants in the senatorial succession question to come out and talk to the peo vle, and the request from tle sam source 1o give the people an opportunity to express by ballot their individual preferences, hns caused the State Journal | 1 its admiring associates, who cssay to | boss Lancaster county politics, to have another attack of political cramps that doubles them up and keeps that body of personal patriots awake nights and in a cold sweat. ‘The public utterances of the State Journal area very fair retlex of the talk of its associntes over the matter, and the attempt to show that Judge Cobb, to whose candidacy every politicnl mov ment on the Lancaster checker-board is turned, is not a candidate is regarded by those outside the charmed circle as vory rieh indeed and a fuir index of the con- fidence they possess in their eandidate in a fair open question of settlement among his own constituency. There are a great many people in Lancaster county, and a not inconsiderable number in the city of Lincoln, who, with all due resnect to Judgo Cobb, would taken great deal of pleasure ic going on record on the senatorinl succession question, and they are just now enjoying the squirming that is going on in the truck pateh of the county. The eftorts of the Journal editor to draw attention from the main question at issue by suggesting that Laird, a candidate for nomination for congress, be pitted ugainst Mr. Van Wyck in discussion regarding the sena. torinl succession, 18 very gencrally re garded as being accompanied with the wish that Laird wn.uh..-mg to the de- bate some of his congressional methods of grecting an opponent when driven to a close corver.

It has been state numerous oceasions and with an_ ofti air that Judge Huyward did not desire succeed himself and could not b didate. This view of the case ally understood over the distric o place better than at his home. But 1t sceems that there is a delicate little scheme on foot 1o turn the succession over to an attorney of Judge Hayward’s own tewn, and for that purpose it is said that in Lancaster Mr. Hayward’s name will be used andidate, and a dele- {, ion made up for his interests can then he turned whenever 1t is desired. A prominent politician brings this bit of political news and fore. nd it will do 1or food for reflection for Lincoin attor- novs, and for them to judge whether they 'wish to be handled in u blind sort of & way in settling the question. precedent of giving an appointive oflicer an eleetion would no doubt give Ju Hayward a delegation from the aistrici if he desired the nomination, but if he doesn’t the skirmish will be a lively one und worth the watching. THE CANVASS FOR GOVERNOR “Phe canvass for governor,” said a prominent North Platte republican, “'is just well inaugurated in our section of the state, and we are visited gnite often by candidates themselves or their next friends. Since the practical doing away with Paul as a candidate there are se eral counties that had been conceded to Paul that will be tor some other man when the time comes.” To the question as to who the man would be, the North Platte man thought that Ger , of Co- lumbus, would be very apt to capture a wajor part of them, and the idea was further expressed that Mr. Gerrard would have quite an extensive following in the conyention.

Spiletta's Little Chestnut Colt—The Great- | est Race Horse the Turf Ever Knew. Never Beaten, Never Pushed to the Top of His Speed—On Him, O'Kelly Won His Fortune. *hieago Herald the ¢ of a rac. wson <t unparalleled in the his have been seen and great races run, it | may not be untimely to recall the history of the greatest race horse the world ever aw On the 1st of Apri , during an eclipso of the sun, Sp a mare be longing to the Duke of Cumberland, in England, gave birth to a chestnut colt, which was at ance nam ed Eclipse, conse quence of the heavenly pheromenon at- tendant upon its birth.” He had a royal pedigree, tracing back his descent through the best of England’s horses to those flying children of the desert which had been imported in the previous o tury. The Duke of Cumberland, uncle of George III, was a patron of prize fighters and of the tarf, and is known in history as Butcher Cumberland, hero of Culloden, He died the year after the chesinut colt was born, and his stud was sold, Eclipse among the rest. He wasa very unpretending jooking chestuut colt, with a white blazo from s forchead to his nose, his oft hind leg white from the top of the shank to the foot. He was short in the forehand and high in the hips, and had an uncommonly bad temper. ' He bit and Kicked and shied and strack out with his forelegs like a boxer. He was in fac unpromising yearling, and at the sale was knocked “down “to a Mr, Wildman, who knew a thing or two_about horses, for seventy-five guineas. Histemper was cortainly very provoking, and Mr. Wild- man got out of pattence with him_ very often, and at last, in a rage, put him in the hands of a rough riding poacher, who vode him about ali day from stable te stable, and at night took him to the cover side and made’ him w while the poacher was taking unlawfui game. This rough treatment brought the colt some- what to terms and rendered him more docile, but his spirit ined unbroken. When he was four years old Colonel Den- nis O'Kelly paid “Wildman 250 guineas for a tin_him, and shortly af- terward g .:U;iuim' s'for the reniin- ing interest, and thus became his sole owner. Colone! O’Kelly was an Irish adven- turer, springing from a very low origin, who sudd ppeared on the English turf witl forse and a pocketfull ot money. He had led o wild and seramb- ling life, sometimes meeting with great reverses, and once finding himselt in prison for debt. ing from the toils of his ereditors through the assistance of a lady friend, who gave him her last forluhe now secmed to turn in liis favor, and everything he touched tupned to gold. But he could not get admitted to the Jockey club nor into the social elubs of London, and the aristocracy would have nothing to do with him, notwithstanding his money. But he had courage, pa- tience, industry and sagacity, and in his way was as invineible preveut his jocke vid him an ann Ty, with the priv- ilego of ing other ‘mounts when O’Kelly had no horse in the same race, an arrangement now very common and , but at that time unknown. ng had his plans now all per- fected, b'l(cny entered Eclipse for small race at Epsom Downs. Tt was £ entry for horses that had never won, matches copted. Eclipse five years old and this his race. The day before the race O'K took odds to a’large amount, before the race bet even m 1 5 and 6 to 4 that his ho would win, Nuy, more, this noisy and obstreporous Irishman offers a large amount of even money that he can place the hor: The re some good hor in the tace, 50 ¢ body is willing to accommodate Colonel O’Kelly when he thinks he can place those horses. It is the3d of M. 1769. The saddling bell rings and the horses appear for a trial canter, The English squires, as théy look at O'Kelly's light chestnut, don’t see so much in him. His forequarters sink in _his stride, th is something very odd abont his withers, and, heayen’ of “heavens! hie is u roarer and ‘blows like a There can’t be much i st. The s are rter comes forward, and O'Kelly is called on to declare. He vio lently shouts out the sentence, now prov- erbial: *‘Echpse first, the rest nownere.” The flag drops, and. the horses start. It is a four-mile-race. At the three-mile post the horses are all together; the chestnet has not come forward yet. ' But now he comes, with his jockey pulling on him as hard as ho can, and the gr horse distances all the others under pull and without turning a hair. As t; crowd close in around the unruflled win- ner they begin to > his beuuties, He s shoulders like @ greyhound, his quar are finely proportioned, and his mu of forearm and thigh are like st The triumphant jockey tells the noisy, exulting colonel that Eclipse had made the running and then broke clean away from the ruck. It was a great day for the Irishman. The same season Eclipso won race after race, king’s plates, city cups and purses, and bets of ol kinds for his owner. Nor was there anything un- certain about his victories, He cut down ]t!ul-lliem atonce, and shot i like a rifle ball. The next year, 1770, it was the same story over agnin. So great became his celebrity that the greatest odds, ten and twenty to one,had to be laid on him to get a bet. Many horses would not start against him, 50 he only had a walk over. He won for O'Kelly’ a wagon loand of gold cups, silver plates and purses of guineas. He ran agminst the pest horses that could be produced, and he distanced them all. There was no_struggle, no af- fort, no neck and neck contest. He never seemed to be put to bis best speed. He was never struck by whip or spur. In all the pictares of him extant his jeckey is seen sitting low and still in the saddl His career on the turf lasted one year and five months, during wiuch timé he as never beaten and was never forced to the top of his speed.

His heart weighed fourteen pounds, and it was doubl to this immense organ that his extraordinary courage and power .
