TREMAINE EXHAUSTS HU SPUUH OVER THE
SUCCESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
AND THE SOLID BOUTH.
OONKLINO’S TRIUMPH OVER CURTIS.
Rochester, September 27. — Curtis’
amendment was defeated by 109 to 290
and the platform was adopted viva voce.
Their speeches were very bitter. It
was a great triumph for Conkling.
The Convention continues to-day.
Washington, September 27. — Groat
interest is attached to the Rochester Con
vention. AU the Mew York papers have
elaborate editorials on the subjeot. The
firebrand was that part of Hayes' policy
divorcing the oivil from political servioe.
His Southern policy was highly landed by
the Curtis faction, and not denounced
by Conkling's party.
JOHN E. OHUROHILL NOMINATED FOR BEORE-
, TARY OF STATE.
Rochester, September 27.—The Con
vention bad greatly thinned this morning.
J. C. Oburohill, of Oswego, was nomi
nated for Secretary of State.
Tremaine's speech.
The work of the Convention being com
pleted, Lyman Tremaine was oalled for,
and addressed the body in relation to the
magnitude and importance of the coming
canvas. The Democratic party boastful
ly deolareB that, having now control of a
solid South, they propose and expeot to
oapture Now York and a few other North
ern States, and thus get oontrol of the
National Administration for another
twenty-five years. Let them get legisla
tive control of this State and the Repub
lican party will have little hope of rescu
ing it from their hands again in ten years.
Are the loyal mon of this State ready to
hand the Govorment into the possession
of the men who so lately sought to de
stroy it?
The Speaker proceeded at some length
to review the political condition in the
Southern States, and the alleged outrages
upon Republicans there, and asked how
loyal men liked the idea of being subjoot-
ed again to the dictation of a solid
South.
MR. WARD,
of Allegany, interposing, asked who
made the Bolid South?
MR. TREMAINE
replied: Don’t revive the issues that
were laid at rest yesterday? Let us turn
to the future and unite our efforts to
sward off the disasters that tbroaten the
country through a revival of disloyal
Democratic rule by the aid, of the solid
South. New York is the key to the situ
ation. Hold this fort and all is safe.
Hold this fort and the plans of the enemy
will fall to the ground.
He proceeded to argue that the Repub
licans coufd have carried the State at that
last election in the preseuce of great dis
advantages. We can save the Legislature
this year, stimulated by the fact that we
have a U. S. Senator at stake. We oan
do better still. He did not sympathize
with but earnestly soonted the idea that
beoanse of yesterday's debate we would
lose the State. When he was in the
Democratic party he always found that
when there was eleotrioity in the air,
brewing a storm, they were strongest;
and so it would be here now. He dosed
with an appeal for unanimity and earnest
work.

Gentlemen—1 have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of yon letter of the
22d inst., conveying to me the official no
tification of my nomination by tho Demo
cratic State Convention as the candidate
of the party for Governor of Now Jersey.
Not being a native of Now Jersey, al
though a citizen and resident of the State
for the last fourteen years, I reoognize
with all the more pride the groat honor
conferred upon mo by so large a portion
of the citizens of my adopted State. The
fact that the nomination was unsought
renders it doubly satifactory to me.
Being assured that it is the unanimous
wish of tho Democratic party, I accept
the nomination. Tho resolutions adopt
ed by the Convention have my hearty ap-
proval.
I beg, gentlemen, to offer, through
yon, to the members of the Convention
and the people they represented, my
heartfelt thanks for the very high com
pliment they have paid me, and for the
manner in whioh it was dond.
Should I be elected Governor of New
Jersey, I will do all in my power to insure
honesty and economy in the expenditures
of the State, to secure the rights of all
its inhabitants, and to promoto the pros*
perity of its people.
1 am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, Geo. B. MoOlellan.
AGONY Or THE BUAFFOLD.
EXECUTION OF A MURDERER AT HARRISON'
BURG, VA. — A BROKEN ROBE CAUSES A
HORRIBLE SCENE.
Harrisonburg, Va., Sept. 25.—Ander
son Shifflett, who, with Silas Morris, was
condemned to bo hang for the murder of
David G. Lawson, way executed iu the
jail yard bore to-day. Morris was re
spited to October 23d. Shifflett made a
dying statement, asserting his innocence
of actual murder, but acknowledged that
ho knew Lawson was to bo killed. While
the sheriff was adjusting tho rope about
Shifflett’s neck, ho wept bitterly, saying:
“Gentlemen, I never did anything to
anybody to be hung for. Indeed, I did
not kill Mr. Lawson. As suro as you are
born you are hanging an innocent man.”
As tho rope holding the trap door was
cut, tho doomed man fell downward to
the gronnd. The rope whh broken.
Shifflett ottered a groan and was again
lifted on tho scaffold. Here ho renewed
his crios and lamentations, exclaiming :
“God knows I am innocent.”
A second and stronger rope was pro
cured. While it was being adjusted, bo
asked Deputy Sheriff Bowman to raise the
black cap from his eyes, so that he might
look upon tho light once more. The re
piost was granted, and turning towards
the spectators he said, with some firm
ness : “Gentlemen, I bid you all good
bye.”
The rope was cut, but Shifflett’s neck
was not broken by the fall, and he died
by strangulation.
Present to Gov. Wade Hampton.—
While iu Chioago Governor Hampton was
presented by some Irish goutloinnn of
that city, among whom was tho Hon.
John W. Kioe, with n beautiful black
thorn stick, imported direct from Ireland.
The cane is of fair size nnd beautifully
knotted. Around it, nenr tho top, is a
heavy silver bandeau, which displays in
the centre a harp ornamented with sham
rock loaves, and boaring date 1877.
Above tho harp is the inscription :
“Deeori decun add it avito,” which trans
lated reads : “He afids honor to anoostral
honors.” Below the harp is (mother in
scription : “An Irish twig for tho Home
Rule Governor of South Carolina.” Gov.
Hampton very naturally prizes this hand
some gift from a people who have over
shown tho warmest appreciation for true
nobility and unvarying gallantry.
LOOK OUT !
My friends will find me at W. L. Till-
mau A Co’s, near my old stand, with g
large aud woll selected stock of Groceries,
Domestic Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes and
Hats. I can now promise my friends
satisfaction iu all their jmr chases and
dealings generally.

Tucson, Arizona, Aug. 28.
I am just up from the City of Mexico,
and, as I promised you a letter from here
I must resume specie payments. There
are plenty of things to write about, but
one don’t know what to give the prefer
ence. Everything is on a magnificent
scale, from tho spiders that spin webs to
the frontiersman who spins yarns; and,
speaking of yarns, I guess I had bettor
tell you a little story that has just been
related to me. It will givo you n faint
idea of what kind of story -tellers, or In
dian fighters, I am not certain which, they
raise ont hero.
“There comes ‘Mountain Joe’ on his
pony,” said my friend, Col. Flounce Filz
Hoy, to-day, as we were soated iu the
shade of a spreading mulberry, in tho
Grand Pinza. Tho person referred to
whs a handsome lookiug young mau of
perhapH thirty-five, something abovo the
medium height, of graceful carriage, and
agile appearance. lie was armed with a
half-carbine, half-navy revolver, that
hung in a belt by bis left side, and was
clad in a buckskin suit.
“ ‘Mountain Joo,’ as you call him, Col.
onel, seems to bo rather u fine specimen of
the frontiersman, but 1 don’t see anything
remarkable about his pony, to which you
particularly refer.”
“Thereby bungs a tale, which l will uu-
fold if you feel like listening to it.”
“Go on—tell it by all moans."
4 ‘Mountain Joe,’ as he is called, was
born somewhere iu tho Eastern States,
and, infatuated with tho Iudian Htorios
he had read, ran away from his parents
and came to the Southwest. Buthe has
bad sumo hard kuooks since, aud the
hardest were received iu earning that
pony, or rather $5 worth of it. Yon sec,
a few years ago old Senor Komuldo,
whose rancho lies out along the Pinto-
road, owned that pony and one of the
loveliest daughters iu all those parts.
He was immensely wealthy and owned
several valuable mines, and there was no
telling how much gold and silver bullion
he had stored away.
“Now all the young fellows around
hero were crazy after tho girl Inez, but
Joe set his hoart ou tho pony, and wanted
to buy it. lie is a fellow who always lias
liis own way, and it is a blessed good
thing that hiH head is ulwuys right, other
wise somebody would got into trouble
But wheu Joo tried to buy the pony
everybody thought he was balked for
once.
“The Senor asked $05 for it, and Joe
dug around to raise the money, lie
raised it, all except $5, and wanted Ro-
mnldo to trust him for tho rest of it till
he would conic back from a hunting expe
dition. This tho old Spanish curmud
geon refused to do, and Joe appealed to
his friends to loan him the other V.
Failing, bo got mad and sworn that he
would not live iu such n community.
One day he left and was not hoard from
for nearly a year.
“lu the meantime a band of Kiokupno
Indians swooped down upon ltomuldo’s
rancho, during his absence iu town, ran
off his stock aud carried the pretty Inez
away iu to tho mountain fastnesses. Sev
eral parties went out in search of the cap
tive, only to be ambushed and whipped.
Then it waH that Souor Komuldo bogan
to bewail tho absence of ‘Mouutaiu Joe,’
for everybody had faith that he could
have rescued tho lovely Inez from tho
dreadful fate in store for her.
“Finally, just as tho unhappy Spaniard
giving up in despair, Joo suddenly
put iu au appearance. ‘If you will re
cover my child,’ said Komuldo, ‘I will
givo you a million dollars. You may have
half my properly, and whatever else you
may ask.’ ‘I am not piulicular about the
reward,’ said Joo, ‘but I’ll try and rescue
that girl.’
“And then sot about making prepara
tions for the undertaking. Several gal*
hint young fellows volunteered to go with
him, but lie declined their services, lie
oiled up that overgrown revolver of his,
stowed away about 500 cartridges and
about ton pounds of jerlcod meat iu his
clothes, and taking the trail of the Kicks
poos, set out in the early morning, lie
followed it all day cautiously, and by
night was far up iu tho mountains. The
next day, noar noon, as he reached the
brow of an immeuso precipice, tho red
skins opened upon him in the rear.
“Ho was completely trapped. All
means of retreat were cut off', aud there
was death both before and behind him.
But Joo made up his mind to die game.
Dodging behind a rook, he opened with
his shooting iron and mado it lively for
the amhushers. Every shot told, und
soon a dozen dead Indians wore stretched
out ou the mouutaiu top. But their com
rades were undaunted, nnd nearly a hun
dred of them mado a dash to seize him.
He had already killed twenty six of them,
but he hhw that he must soon be over
powered.
“Flight was impossible, ami preferring
to kill himself rather than be tortured by
the Indians, he rushed to tho precipice
fully two thousand feet high und leaped
bodily into space.
But during his fearful descent he did
not lose his presence of mind. Ho whs
going down noar tho face of the rocks nnd
observed that stunted pines and hemlocks
grew out of tho frequent crevices, lie
begun grasping in the tops of them, which
first bent and then broke, but lie found
that he was breaking the force of his fall
For the last three hundred feet the bushes
wore thick, and Joo was soon going down
dropping from one to tho other in perfect
security.
“At last ho reached tho bottom, suff er
ing from a few bruises and sevorul rathe
serious wounds received in tho contest
with the Indians overhead. Just
was congratulating himself upon bis won
derful osenpe another pack of rod devi.
broke from the chapral and opened tin
Another hand-to-hand contest took plat
and Joe killed nino of his enemies. Ilo
then started to run along the base of tho
cliff, when on a sudden the earth gave
way under him and ho fell into a deep
fissure. The Indians wore immediately
upon him, and fired two or throe volleys
down tho holo and then covered it up,
with imuieuse boulders.
“Joo had fallen some 20 feet, and real
iziug the danger from allots from
above, got under the shelving of the
rock aud thus avoiding tho hulls. The
Indians, supposing him dead, mado no
further investigations. Realizing his
desperate situation Joe set about extricat
ing himself, and found that he was in a
vast cave with a large number of ramifi
cations. In the midst of pitchy darkness
he began his exploration,which continued
for four or five days, but whioh seemed
to him ns many years.
“The jerked meat on his person satis
fied tho cravings of his appetite, and he •
found plenty of pure water to drink. At
last ho gave up, and lay down to die.
Listening intently he heard what seemed
like human voices, aud this once more
gavo biui heart. Crawling in the direc
tion from which the sounds came, heat
length reached a point from which he was
able to look into a vast rotunda, fitted up
iu barbaric splendor, and lighted with
pine knots and sputtering lamps, and
there, reclining on a couch of bear skins,
ho behold Inez Komuldo talking with an
old Indian squaw,who apparently was her
jailer.
“At length the old bag withdrew in nn
opposite direction, aud Joe speedily made
his presence known to the fair captive.
A hurried consultation followed and the
whole situaliou was taken iu.
“luez explained that she. was held as
prisoner by the chief of the tribe, lied
Eagle, who was determined she should
marry him. Red Eagle was a half- blood,
bis father being a Spaniard. The en**
trance to the cave was narrow, well con
cealed, and is known only to a few of the
Indians. They still swarmed in the
mountains, but iu a few weeks were going
south for a raid upon the settlements,
aud only a small guard were to be left iu
tho cave.
“All this Inez hurriedly explained to
Joe and it was agreed that he was to lie
coucealed in the unexplored portions of
the cave to the rear, recover from bis
wounds, and wuit till the Indians left be
fore attempting a rescue, while Inez was
to furnish him with provisions from her
own allowance.
‘The chief, Rod Engle, in the mean*
time treated her with distinguished con
sideration, offering her no indignities, and
ordering that she should have whatever
she oalled for. After throe weeks of
weary waiting luez learned from the old
woman that Rod Eagle and his braves had
gone South und that four braves had beeu
left to guard her day and night. They
took up their places iu the far corner of
tho great hall, and Joo waited impatiently
until they should go to sleep. Day and
night were tho sumo iu tho cuve, but
finally the braves stretched themselves
out one after another to sleep. That
sloop was the last,for four shots from Joe’s
revolving carbine tired iu rapid succession
killed them all before either was aware of
his danger.
“The old woman was forced to guide
them to tho entrance of .the cave, which
was found after many aud tortu
ous windings and Inez and Joe emerged
from their living tomb just after snurise.
Joe then saw that he had passed entirely
through the mountain.
“Komuldo aud his friends had long
glveu them both up for dead, aud their
feelings may be better imagined than de
scribed wheu they returned sate aud
sound after their miraculous adventures.
Ever since then Joe has ridden that pony
and has been perfectly happy.”
“But you don't mean to tell me, Colo
nel, that Joo got no other reward than
that miserable littlo piece of horseflesh.
Ho married Inez, of course.”
‘That’s tho way tho story writers wouid
fix things, ’said the Colonel, “but they
never deal iu facts as I have done. Thu
Honor was as good as his word, and got a
surveyor to divide the' ranch into two
]unl parts, and showed Joe about fifteen
cart loads of gold and silver as his share.”
No, sir,’’’said Joe, *1 want nouo of
these. I want that sorrel pony. Hero
are tho $50, and I want to know if yon
will trust me for the other $5.’
“ ‘I’ll givo you the pony and anything
else you want,’ said the Heuor. ‘You
deserve anything that you will ask for.’
“But with all that the Heuor could say
or do, Jog made mo take the $50 and let
him have tho pony with $5 duo on it.”
“Well, that is tho most unnatural end
ing to a wonderfully romantic story I ever
hoard. Col. Fiance Fitz Roy, there is
something wrong with tho sentiment and
civilization of Tusoon.”
“Now, don’t deceive yourself there
again,” put in the Colonel. “ ‘Mountain
Joo’ and Inez Komuldo aro to he married
next week, aud we will both go to the
wedding.”
