Several Democratic Oandidates on the Anxious Seat. THE CITY CONVENTION TODAY. Arrest of a Hack Driver on a Oharge of Forgery —A Bloodthirsty Pair—General and Personal. A Glance Over the Field. The democratic convention will be held today, and the result is eagerly awaited by more than half a Lundred anxious candi- dates. The place of holding the convention has been changed by the city central com- mittee from the city building to the Masonic temple, as it was decided that the former lo- cation would be altogether too small 0 ac- commodate the large number outside of the forty-three delegates desiring to attend. What nominations will be made by the con- vention 18 A maiter of conjecture and none, even those who are supposed to be the best posted, are willing to hazard o guess as to the result, except 1n_the cases of one or two candidates Judge W. C.James is certain that he will be nominated for may and claims to havo at least five out of the forty-three delerates. On the other hand it is claimed that James will not be nominated. Said a democrat terday: “‘Jumes probably has qualified ises from mearly all of the delegat when they go into convention he will find that he will need a great many more votes than he will get.”” The feeling seems to prevail that James would be a weak man and that to give himn the nomination would be inviting certain de- feat. 'This feelivg has greutly intensitied during the past two weeks and the woneral impression is that James will be dropped if 8ome popular man can be found who has not ured prominentiy as a candidate, There are but two men spoken of in opposition to him and they are Martin Keating and Judge E. B. Aylosworth, It is stated, however, thut if the choice lies between James and Keating the former will get it, butf 1t is James or Aylesworth the strengtn will be on Aylesworth's side, Ayleswortl's name was mentioned early in the camvaign as a possible candidate, but he has never announced himsclf, and his candidacy was not regarded as at all promis- g, His strength has all developed since the caucuses were held, and if he continues 1o grow in popu rity this forenoon as fast as he did yesterday he will go into the con- vention this afternoon with flving colors, His candidacy is well received Dy the repre sentative men of both parties, and he will be strongly backed outside the convention as weilas in it. The friends of Thomas Maloney are satis- fled that he will receive the nomination for marshal, and claim that they will control at least thirty-one or thirty-two votes on the first ballot, snd more than that number on the subsequent ballots. So sanguine are they of] their hold tnat they are seek- ng to nominate candidates for other oftices than that of ocity marshal. O'Connor isstill in the fight, and his friends claim a good fighting chunce, but they are unable to count up any moré than thirteen delegates that they can depend on. Farrell is regarded as the candidate of the ‘‘ving,” and ho is sat down on accordingly. His support will come in small quantities from the First, Third and Fourth wards, buv he is not regarded by the leading candidates as a dangerous rival. Deputy Marshals White and Barhyte are both in the race, but they are already apparently distanced. Barbyle draws a little support from the First ward and White has a strong cinch on the Sixth ward delegation, Vic Jennings 1s the democratic nominee for alderman from the First ward, meeting with cansiderable opposition in his party because he has long been known as a rank prohibitionist, and it is stated that he is pledeed to support C, D, Walters for chief of the tire department. Jeonings denied'that he is pledged to Walters, but it is certain that he refused to pledge hin'self the other way, I T. Waterman was urged to be candidate for re-election before the caucus and went to Jennings on the day the cauci was held, He offered to withdraw if Jen. nings would refuse to support Walters. Jon- nings refused, and has accordingly lost sev— oral votes, as Walters is anything but popu: lar in his own ward, and the democrats there will not support an aldermanic candidate who favors retaining him a8 ohief of the fire aepartment. Ex-City Clerk R. H. Huntington is bitterly fighting Walters and Jennings aud has vledged his vote and that of sixty other dem- ocrats of the ward for L. A. Caspar, the re- publican nominee, In the Second ward F. P. Bellinger is the democratic nominee, but” he is being most vigorously fought by Lacy and the Globe, as he is an avowed enemy of the *'ring" and is pledged to beat the be out of the city printiog. The opposition will try to get W, J, Lauterwasser a place on the citizens' ticket, and in this manner hope to down Bel- linger. 1In case they cannot have Lauters wasser they will support a republican nomi- neoe, a8 1t 1$ unything with them to knock out Bellinger. Lacy and Everett hold over as aldermen of the Third_and Kourth wards. In the Fifth ward, Peter Smith is the republican nominee, and Con Fitzpatzick has been put up by the democrats. ‘Lhere is considerable dissatisfuction among the democrats, and al- though the ward 18 usually democratic, tho election of the republican nomines is far from being improbable. In the Sixth ward 1t is A. C. Harding, re- publican, ugainst J. W. Mikesell, democrat. This 18 & republicau ward and the spht 1 the democratic factions of Mikesell and Fisher opens to view u every pleasant pros- pect of the easy election of Mr, Harding.

Ho hus several bitter enemies, but they are keeping quiet, and will not open up their batteries unless he gets the nomination, in which case there will be music that will make somebody dance. Stewart has but a slight support of tho delegates, and Mynster :- n;ln greatly flattered over the present out- 00k, George A. Holmes 13 atill in the field for city solicitor, but he 18 meeting with strong oppusition, Judge Aylesworth would un- doubtedly be a candidate for this office if it was not that he is unwilling to oppose Holmes' candidacy, and it is hinted that he would rather have it than any other office in the gift of the city, Those who are booking Aylesworth for the mayorally are opposed to Holmes for city altorney, and are naturally at loss for "a candidate to run against him, In this emergercy they al talking up Hon.

The meeting was nothing more nor less than & caucus for Hixing up & munie- ipal slate 1o be sprung at toduy's convention. He is. is right t Third ward demo- crat last evening. ‘‘Tho-delegations from these two wards are reported to be solid for Muloney for marshal, and they think they rnow have strength onough to run the convention to suit themselves. They came out with a terrible howl abont the old ‘ring’ but they have very in- judiciously stown their hand. They did not kick on the old ring because they thought it unjust, but it was simply because they were not allowed to get their hands in the pot. They have demonstrated that they are even worse ringsters than the old ones, for they sot out to capture everything before they ara really sure of anything. They are altogether too bold, and we will take a ' littlo of the wind out of their sails. If we don’t 4o it in the convention today, we will do it at the polls. Juat because they think they have the power, they intend to run every thing their own way, regardless of what the rest of us may want. They have bitten off a_ great deal more than they can chew, and they will find it out be- fore thoy are twenty-four hours older. They would have been well satisfied with tho m; shalship alone, at the start, but a little good 1 has completely turned their heads. The Third warders are sore enough over tho work that the Maloney eang tried to engi- neer through the caucus, but this additional high-handed busiuess will be very likely to block their whole game. Perhaps they will beable to get thoir nominees through the couvention, but it will be very unlucky suc- The delegates were very reticent after the caucas adjourned last evening, 8o far as out- siders were concerned, and it was learned that every man was pledged to secrecy, fearing that_there would be trouble if tho egations from the other four wards learned of the unfair advantage that the combination was trving to obtain, Several members of the outside delegations were on the watch, however, and what they saw failed to pleaso them, as they threatened to give the caucusers a painful surpriso iu the convention.

The “Cousin Jack” gold mine in El- dorado county, Cal., was at one time a prosperous claim that paid _its owne large monthly dividends and gave overy promise of a still move profitable fu- ture, The owners had considerable trouble with their superintendent, a burly Cor- nish miner, whose love of alcoholic stimulents and predisposition to fight were a source of constant annoyance. As often happens in gold mines the vein was ‘“‘pockety,” being ve rich in some spots and barren in others. Tt was while running through one of these barren streaks that “‘Big Jim,” the superintendent, became involved in adispute with the ownersas to the proper course to pursue to find the pay chute again. Jim was very ugly, and the owners,as was always the case when a “*horse™ was encountered, were them- selves far from amiable. The outcome was that Jim received hisconge the day following and a new “‘super’ in de- mund, No one about the camp being avail- able, [, being one of the parties inter- esied,set off for San Francisco in search of the man we wanted. I found him sooner thun I expected. He was not a El'nclicul miner, but had, he said—and is letters of recommendation med to back up his statement—a thorough scientilic knowledge of gold ores. was an assayer—in short, was almost ready to state that ho could make the mine profitable whether the gold was in the rock or not. 1 forthiwith engnged the services of this man of science, and we were soon at the mine, whers Mr. Jackson, my new acquisition, was duly installed as snperintendent. We hud paid '‘Big Jim” 8150 a month, but Jim was only a practical miner and not a scientist, so we could not,in all conscience, offer Mr. ad- vance on Jim's salavy. “Look here,” remarked one of the partners to_me one day, after our new snperintendent had been with us about a weel, “Idon’t think that that new scientific mining expert of yours knows any more abont mining thana Piute In- dian.” I was obliged to admit that [ 1f had grave doubts on the subject. son obtained some remark from rock that wouldn’t show a *‘color” in the pan, and when [ sought te pin him down to any definite tion as to the value of ores he guve cvasive answers. He was certainly an expert at dodging questions if ut noth- ing else. In the meantime “Big Jim” had begged hard to be taken buck, promis- ing all mannerof good conduet, *1 don’t know nothin’ about them air vs,” suid he, “*but yer kin bet yer life I knows good rock when I sees it.” Jim was particularly severe on our new superintendent, claiming that he (Mr. son) couldn’t tell a gold mine from a brass kettle. In this Jim was vight, as the sequel will show. Shortly after this Mr. Juckson came rushing over to the cabin one morning with & number of bright pieces in his hand. Was it possible, Lhnlu;hl 1, that a rich pocket had been found “What’s the matter, Jackson?” I asked, “*You've got the richest mine in the world, sir,” said he. *‘Look at these bits of metal., They were knocked down at the last blast. I've tested themund they are 900 fine at lenst.” “Why, you tarnation fool,” broke in A voice over my shoulder, ‘‘that’s brass.” . It was Jim who spoke, He had eyi- dently put up a job on the new sunerin- tendent, though where he gotthe lumps of brass from I have never learned. He was soon back in his old position, how- ever, and Mr. Jackson was seen np more in those parts, I haven’t heard of or from him since, The Cousin Jack paid well for about a year after that and was then aban- doned. T Taking Suficient Sleep. The old discussion as to the amount of sleep necessary for the performance of continuous work and the retention of health has lately been revived, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. In this age of hurry sud worry, with its consequent nervous exhaustion, the necessity of taking sufficient sieep cannot be in- sisled upon too forcibly, and the ten- dency of iutelligent opinion on the sub- ject 'is toward the conviction that not enough sleep is ordinarily taken. To lay down any hard and fast rule, how- ever, is not possible, for naturally, brain workers require more than the drones of society; in fact, every brain worker, if he wishes his powers to last, should take from eight to nine hours’ sleep out of the twenty-four, Charles Lawb did not think eight hours enough, whereas Sara Bernhardt finds six hours a suflicient quantum of sleep.

The delivery of the remains of Brown to his wife was under the order of Gov- ernor Wise, who wrote the following beautiful letter to the bereaved woman: GOVERNOR WISE'S LETTER TO MRS, RicuyoND, Va., Noy. 20, 185 Mary Brown (now in Philadelphia)—Madam : Yours of the 21stinst., addressed o me from Philadelphia, camo to hand this morning.

You will also alluw the bodies of her sons who fell at_Harper's Ferry to be disinterred, and taken by her, or her agent, or order. Respectfully, SHENRY AL Wisk.! Governor Wise was crivicised by some of the most zealous of the V nians for allowing the body of John Brown to be taken north, the objection urged being that the abolitionists should not be permitted to have it to make a fuss over. There was a feeling where the most radically southern men of Virginia had largely assembled, that there was a state of war with the north, and that the militia of Virginia were the advance guard of the south. This was written at Washington, De- cember 4, 1859: “The people of Virginia have been played upon in this John Brown affair by the politicians and bamboozled out of u portion of their reason. The foel- ing at Charlestown seemed - 10 be that they were actually at war with the north. The military men considered themselvesin a boxing attitude awaiting blows. They understood themselves to be bidding their enemies defiance, and standing with a bold front against the most considerable portion of the world. Authentic intelligence that 10,000 men were coming would not have been re- ceived with surprise. The fact that nobody seemed disposed to molest them was rather a disappointmen As to the fright of Virginia, of which so much has been suid, it is not fair to make the military opérations a terion as to the condition of the state. The iden of a servile insurrection is, of course, exceedingly disquieting in any community where the element out of vhich it may be formed exists. Vir- ginia is un and vigilant, but not scured. Governor Wise did not call out the volunteer companies of the stite becavse he was alarmed, but be- cause it pleased bim to have un ocea- sion to make a military display and get up a military spivit. * On the swne principle that Franc s kopt an arm, in Algiers, Wise concentrated troops Charlestown. The military operations hiive been for school purposes, It will ve remembered that he has long been lamenting the inefliciency of the V ginian military. He has taken ocea- sion to eall the'state to urm, not to pre- vent the rescue of John Brown, but to accustom the young men of the state to stute service as soldiers [ have been often asked here, and the question mny huve suggested itself to people elsewhiere: *What impression Qid the couruge displuyed by John Brown seem to have upon the Virginians?’ There were exprassions of admiration for the gameness of the oid man. It seemed to surprise many thut an abolitionist should show s0 much pluck. Many reported and hoped that when the old man found all chances for life had fled he would cower and show wenkoess. His un- flinching persistance thut he had only done his duty, and his unaffected will- ingness to die, caused many regrets that 80 brave a man should have been 50 ter- ribly in the wrong. *‘But1f Brown should not have been hung, as many say, the question arises: What could have been done with him? It would wot do tg 16t him go. If he had had life and strength and liberty he certainly would huve tried his Harper's Ferry expedition over again, and, per- haps, with far move fatal results. As for placing him 'in” the penitentiary, { think it extremely doubtful whether its walls would have long contmned him. He unquestfonably forfeited his: life according to the laws of Virginia, and was given ' trial in her courts, which he did not/ ¢onsider unfair, He was allowod soveral weeks between sentence and ' execution, was hu- manely treated . in rison, was allowed to correspond with his friends and receive visits' {rom them, and was escorted to the gallows by the flower of the chivalry of Virginia. Sosplendid a spectacle s the procession to the gal- lows was never before seen on this con- tinent upon such an occasion. The stafl of officers riding in front, about sixty strong, bedizened according to the ex- travagunt and fantustical ideas of mili tary costume, were as gorgeons a calva- cade as the sun had shown on these many days. And behind was old Brown riding upon his coftin, in & car drawn by two beautiful white horses, amid the splendor of polished stecl and ihe traip of serried ranks, Virginia bas doveher part towards making John Brown a his- toric character, and giving him a con- spieious niche in the gallery of the il- lustrious. Her military foolery has deone more to exaggerate the import- ance of the wild old man than all the ding-dongs of Northern fanatics.

The week after the hanging of Brown congress met, and the evil influence of the Harper’s Ferry incidents at once became evident. "The southern five- caters were more fiery than ever, The Helper book excitement took place, and after a bitter struggle defeated tho re- publican programme of organization of the house. On several occasions there was danger of a general fight on the floor of that body. Threats of disunion came thick and fast, Certainly ‘‘the last was not heard of John Brown.” On the contrary, in a few mouths there was an invasion from the north of Virginia. The wisions of Governor Wise became realitics. The northern armies poured down the Win- chester road, beside the ficld where Old Ossawattomie was hanged, singing **John Brown’s Body.” The beautiful valley of Virginia be- came the scene of many battles, The peaceful Biue Ridge mountains looked upon tremendous conflicts, and the hosts of blue and grey alternately swept over the sunny farmlands until all was deso- late, and through the pearly gunpowder smoke the martial bands plaved and the marching legions sangold John Brown with the ringing refrain, *Glory, Glory Hallelujuh,” until the final victory freed the siaves and it be- came the fashion *to say that John Brown had not died in vain. One scorching August day, in eastern Frauce, as the German army, under the Red Prince, was marching on five roads through the lovely land of Lor- raine, approaching the river Moselle, cach mighty column svarkling with and marked by a soaring cloud of dust, there was a burst of song from one of the huge array of troops,and the startled ear of the'spectator heard with amazement, almost awe, the familiar words of the Jonn Brown wmarching song; and as the splendid plains of France trembled under the moving masses of the invaders, there wasa magnificent swell of voices singing in Englis| “John Brown’s body lics mouldering in the “round, But his soul 1s marching on, Glory, glory, hatlclujoh " The German troops had caught the song from some of their countrymen who I od in our national army and there was a wonderful mellowness and grandeur. “It passed like a glo- rious roll of drums through the triumph of his dream.” as the old war hymn first heard on the Shenandonh rang in the valley of the Moselle, one ef the few spots on earth as rare and far famed in its benuty as the valley of Virginia. And the ‘singing of an army marching through tho red-roofed villages and golden fiolds of Irance, seemed to say that the old man I had seen danglo at the end of a cotton rope was one of the world’s heroes after all, for. however mistaken the way, he haa died for lib- erty. ght thing , that the Sl The Great Rock island Routs, In_changing time on Sunday, Noy. 17, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacitic Ry. have considered every point of i terest to the Omaha traveling public. 1f you ure going to Des Moines, Chicago or any point east, our solid vestibule Jimited train is just what you want. “Leuve Omnha at -hop m. arrive in Des Moines 9:30 p. m. and Chicago ) &, m., dimng car for supper leaving Council Bluffs and for breakfast before rem:hhlfi Chicago.
