“What was the secret of general Hick-
enlooper’s nomination for the second
place ?” I asked,
“He was put up to carry Hamilton
county, I think. He iB president of the
52 00 Gas Company and has therefore, a good
deal of local influence. But he is not
known beyond the limits of Cincinnati.
The fight in Hamilton county is always
very sharp, and as that county sends
thirteen members to the Legislature
a and State Senator is to be elected to
take my place. There were some funny
mistakes made about General Hioken-
looper in the central and extreme por
tions of the State the day after the nomi
nation, as nobody knew him and his name
was printed all sorts of ways. He is
a very good man, I understand, but his
name adds very little strength to the
ticket.”
Judge Thurman’s Views.
IVe give the following interview of
I Senator Thurman on the situation in
Ohio, as reported to the New York
| Herald by a Boston correspondent, un-
I der date of July 16:
Judge Thurman, who has been here
ja a brief visit, left yesterday afternoon
! for Portsmouth and the Isles of Shoals.
Ho has kept very quiet during his so
journ in Boston, and only saw a very
limited number of people. Judge Wood-
[ bury, Col. Henry Walker, Charles F.
Donnelly, P. A. Collins and other Dem-
| ocratic leaders met and talked with him
a the condition of the party through
I the country. The Herald correspon
dent sent his card up and was admit-
j ted, Mr. Thurman was found busily
I engaged reading notes and cards which
had been sent up during his absence,
be baring been out for an hour. He
! looked somewhat worn and exceed i ig-
I ly languid, although in good spirits and
apparently willing to talk.
“I was surprised,” he said, smiling,
“that your card had not been in my
collection before this, for I meet the
“I understood, Judge,” I replied,
“that you were in poor health since your
arrival and somewhat averse to talk
ing, especially with newspaper men.”
“That is certainly the fact. I am
feeling quite ill to-day, although my
health is generally excellent. I con
tracted some malarial trouble in Wash
ington during the extra session, and my
>ea voyage from Baltimore to Boston
seems to have aggravated it. I want
rest and I came East to get it. I had
hoped to get into some place where
there were no politicians and [sminling]
no newspaper men.”
“Does the salt water agree with you ?”
“ies, generally; and I expect per
manent benefits from my trip. But I
had a chill last night and it has weak

A Short Talk with Senator
Bayard.
Five ocean steamships sailed yester
day, carrying more than six hundred
passengers. One of them was the Gen
eral Werder, which was to have taken
the Woodruff Scientific School around
the world. Among the passengers in
the Werder are Senator and Mrs. Thom
as F. Bayard, of Delaware; Dr. W.
Watkins Seymour, the Rev. Dr. Edward
A. Washburne, rector of Cavalry Church,
and the Rev. Anton Pauk. Senator
Bayard is accompanying his invalid
wife to the Carlstadt Springs, in Bo
hemia. He will be absent about three
months.
The Senator was averse to expressing
any opinion on the political situation,
saying that he thought he had been
beard often enough in Washington.
In answer to the question, “What
will be the effect of the ‘Ohio idea’ on
the next Presidential campaign ?” he
said:
“I find some difficulty in defining
what the ’Ohio idea’ is. It seems to me
that the campaign in Ohio must be
fought on the basis of the use of the
army at the polls. That is the only
question left to them. There is no
financial question before the country to
make an issue upon.”
“But is it not likely that Senator
Thurman will be brought forward upon
what has been called the ‘Ohio idea’ as
a Presidential candidate ?”
“I do not know how Judge Thurman
stands on the financial question. I only
know that upon that he stood with me
in 1873. I cannot see how there can be
a financial issue made in the next
Presidential campaign, unless it is on
the silver question ; and the subsidiary
silver bill, it seemsto me, does not af
ford sufficient basis for such an issue.”
Gen. Joe Lane, of Oregon, who was a
prominent General in the Mexican war
a third of a century ago, and was the
Democratic candidate for Vice-President
with John C. Breckinridge in 1860, re
cently made a speech up on Puget
Sound, in which he said:
“My head has been whitened by the
frosts of many winters, and my form
bent by the weight of accumulated
years; my voice has grown feeble and
weak from the service of three-quarters
of a century, and I soon expect to he
called upon to answer the final roll call.
I am fully prepared, friends, to obey the
summons cheerfully. Two years ago I
looked over the old Army Register and
found there only five of the seventeen
American Generals who entered the
Mexican war surviving. Of the seven
teen who entered that struggle, fourteen
were younger than myself. One by one
these brave men have answered to the
last roll-oall. Since I last looked over
the register, Pillow has been called away,
Cadwalader and Cushing followed, ana
on the first of the present month Shields
answered the summons and passed over
the dark river across the aorosB the val
ley and shadow of death.”
Missouri Republican: A number of
Pennsylvania Republicans are protest
ing in advance against the appointment
of ex-Gov. Hartranft of that State as
Secretary of War to succeed Mr. Mc
Crary. The Pennsylvania ex-Governor
has not been appointed to the place,
and it is not known that he will be.
But a rumor that hia appointment is
entertained has reached his fellow Re
publicans, and this explains the protest.
They say that Hartranft is a Sherman
man, while the Pennsylvania Republi
cans are for Grant; that Sherman is not
the second, nor even the third choice of
the Pennsylvania Republicans, and to
put in the cabinet a man who is endeav
oring to work up the Sherman move
ment in that State would be very un
just to them. . _
But these Pennsylvania Republicans
forget one thing, viz., that Mr. Hayes
himself is a Sherman man, and he baB
the appointment of his own Secretary
of War: If Hartranft has espoused the
cause of Sherman, this is a fact which
commends him to the executive favor.
Do the Pennsylvania Republicans ex
pect expect this administration to put a
Grant man in the War Department? If
so, they will be disappointed.

To Restore the Drowned.
The Connecticut Board of Health
have issued a little tract giving direc
tions for the treatment of persons who
have been rescued from the water,
when life appears to be suspended. The
State Board of Health of Michigan
originally published similar directions.
Persons who have been in the water
half an hour, or even longer, it is claim
ed, have been restored by this process,
which is:
1. Lose not a second’s time, but re
move all obstructions to breathing, at
neck and waistbands; turn the patient
on his faoe, with the head down hill;
stand astride the hips with your face
toward his head, and, looking your
Sngers together under his belly, raise
the body as high as you can without
lifting the forehead off the ground, and
give the body a smart jerk to remove
mucus from the throat and water from
the windpipe; hold the body suspended
long enough to slowly count one, two,
three, four, five, repeating the jerk more
gently two or three times.
2. Place the patient’s face downward,
and maintaining all the while your po
sition astride the body, grasp the points
of the shoulders by the clothing, or, if
the body is naked, thrust your thumbs
over the points of the shoulders, and
raise the ohest as high as you can with
out lifting the head quite off the ground,
and hold it long enough to slowly count
one, two, three. Replace him on the
ground, with his forehead on his flexed
arm, the neck straightened out and the
mouth and nose free. Place your el
bows against your knees and your
hands upon the sides of his chest over
the lower ribs, and press downward
and inward with increasing force long
enough to slowly count one, two. Then
suddenly let go, grasp the shoulders as
before and raise the chest; then press
upon the ribs, etc. These alternate
movements should he repeated ten to
fifteen times a minute . for an hour at
least, unless breathing is restored soon
er. Use the same regularity as in nat
ural breathing.
3. After breathing has commenced,
restore the animal heat. Wrap him in
warm blankets, applying bottles of hot
water, hot brioks, or anything to restore
heat. Warm the head nearly as fast as
the body, lest convulsions come on.
Rubbing the body with warm olothB or
the hand, and slapping the fleshy parts
may assist to restore warmth, ana the
breathing also. If the patient can
swallow, give hot coffee, tea, milk, or a
little hot sling. Give spirits sparingly,
lest they produce depression. Place the
patient in a warm bed, and give him
plenty of freBh air; keep him quiet.
Before natural breathing is fully re
stored, do not let the patient lie on his
back unless some person holds the
tongue forward. The tongue by falling
back may elope the windpipe and cause
fatal choking.
Do not give up too soon. You are
working for life. Any time within two
hours you may be on the very threshold
of success without there being any Bign
of it.
Avoid delay. A moment may turn
the scale for life or death. Dry ground,
shelter, warmth, stimualants, etc., at
this moment are nothing—artificial
breathing is everything—it is the one
remedy—all others are secondary.
Ben. Butler’s Latest Sarcasm.
Ben. Butler quite recently received a
letter from' a friend asking his kind
offices in procuring Government em
ployment for a one legged soldier.
Butler’s reply is to the point, and places
Hayes just where he belongs, and ex
hibits the hypocrisy and treaohery of
the Repulican party. Here is the let
ter of the Essex statesman:
12 Pemberton Square, \
Boston, July 6,1879. J
Dear Sir—You ask me in your note
if I know of a position for a one legged
soldier. I answer I do not. Nearly
two years ago I asked a position oi
President Hayes for a crippled soldier
in my neighborhood, baoked by all his
neighbors. Mr. Hayes refused it, and
gave the position to a man who stayed
at home during the war, at the request
of Mr. Hoar, Senator from our State,
who stayed at home, too. Since that
time I have asked Mr. Hayes nothing
The law is imperative that he should
prefer in all omoial appointments the
maimed veterans of the war, but that
law is not obeyed. I got an act through
the House, when I was in. Congress,
making a penalty of fine and lmpnsion'
ment for not obeying it, but it tailed in
the Senate. The people of tho Confed
erate States do better. They give all
their prominent offices to crippled and
other Confederate soldiers.
It seems to be the misfortune of your
friend that he fought on the wrong side
to get any recognition of his servioes. I
am grieved, therefore, that I am not
able to do anything for him.
