The relative strength of the two principal parlies in the state as exhibited in previous elections, remains unchanged. The main issue for the Republicans involves the ei^tion of a United States senator to succeed Mr. Edmunds. The democratic managers'

The question then arose as to the nomination of a candidate for congress. There being a majority against nomination in the committee, it was left to the convention, and voted on by counties, as follows: Vigo, 9 against and 1 for Parke, 5 against and 1 for Sullivan, 4 against and 4 for Vermillion, 4 against Fountain, 10 against nays 22, yeas 10.

THE DISTILLERY.

Facts and Oosaip Gathered In and About the Establishment. Frank Bryant, assistant engineer, recently became the owner of a fine cot He is not much accustomed to the care of stock. He went home one afternoon last week and found that the bovine, as he believed, had secretly sought green 1 fields and pastures new. He immediately set about devising ways and means for securing possession of his cow. He] enrolled, as a searching committee, sev eral young lads in the vicinity,and offering them twenty-five cents, with which to buy watermelons, and, as their leader, started out io run down the escaped beast and bring her home. After patrol ing all the southeast portion of the city, they found the cow on the Crufl iarm, grazing. Then commenced a series of peculiar exercises on the part of Mr. Bryant and his young friends. They offered salt to the cow, but she wouldn't have it. Tbey sought to circle in upon and capture her bodily, and she gave practical evidence that she would not have that. They finally started a regular chase. Through side streets and alleys, over commons and vacant lots, they pursued the intractable cow. After a two hours' pursuit she was finally driven into Mr. Bryant's yard, on south First street. Frank, as he entered the yard, suddenly discovered another cow standing at his Btable door, quietly chewing her cud, and apparently wondering what all the confusion was about. He hastily called the boys aside, paid them twenty-five cents, and started them on their way, after admonishing them to answer no questions about their cow chase. The facts in the esse were that Frank's cow had never left home, and he had worked all the afternoon with three energetic boys driving some otherrnan's cow from Oruft's farm, Frank- has since manifested a decided disinclination to express himself concerning the transaction.

Boiii vactite stood across tbe channel on larboard i^ck, and began their battle for the merican cup, tacking close under the Lo.^g I"land shore. At 11:30 they made a stretch over for iStaten Island. The May flower Held the windward position, and with the lCt ebb of the tide under her lee boom, she managed to keep and began "out-b?ating" i«.° cutttr at once. Hundreds watched this first part of the battle from the bights of Fort Wadsworth and Hamilton. At 11:02 the Galatea set her jib topsail, and at 11:12 the May Flower tacked close under quarantine, the cutter following suit a minute later.

The breeze waB freshening every moment, and the prospects tor a fine race were encouraging. The large fleet of accompanying steamers made trouble for the yachts at times, and they had to be chased away by the

judges'

boat. When

the Mavflower tacked to port at 11:21 'she iiad Fort Lafayette under her lee quarter, while the Galatea was yet under ur.JnntAiiik TNo Tinsfnn clnnn

At 11:59, when the Galatea tacked to port near buoy IG, the sloop vas leading-her by three-quarters of a joile. The flood tide had just begun te make, and Captain "Joe" Ellsworth, who piloted the Mayflower, was "working" it for all he was worth. Captain "Sam" Gibson, pilot of the Galatefc* was also doing his best in this direction, but the cutter was not equal to the occasion. He finally "split tracks" with'the sloop and goioj about at 12:20 held the bark back, while the Majflower gained by the operation fully one-half of a mile. But he then made short boards for buoy SJ, tbe first fining point, the Mayflower fetching aronnd lite first at 10:1.51, and the cutter at 10:7.07. They Were greeted with a perfect ovation of whistles from the attending steamers as they flew away with the sheets started for buoy 5. The Mayflower passed it at :18 and the Galatea at 1:25.

To buoy 8£ the Mayflower had already beai ^n the cutter five minutes and seven teen

The official ti."ue of turning was: May Flower, 2 :S5.02Galatea, 5:44 03. Both made a splendid picture as they rounded the light .ship. To this point the May Flower hsd not beaten the Galatea 9 minutes, 20 seconds, and as she was fully two miles awa yjwhen the latter squared away. Back to the northward came the great flotilla of steamers «ith their freight of enthusiastic admirers.. The May Flower with her big balloon jibtopsail bellying out in the -now strong breeze came crossing by buoy SJ on the home stretch at 3:34 just as the Galatea was passing the point of Sandy Hook. The latter passed the buoy at 3:46, and both angling over to port casus grandly down to the finish on tbe flood tide.

Finding that the spinuaker would draw Lieutenant Henn ordered it eet to starboard at 4:13. Captain Stone, finding the cutter overhauling him, followed suit and set the Mayflowers spinnaker fifteen minutes later. "What a grand sight that finish was only an eye witness can tell. It wss the grs'tdeet marine spectacle -ever seen in NrW York bay. Surrounded by nearly 500 steam and sailing vessels, the Mayflower cam a tearing along throwing'a narrow path of water, and crossed the finish line amid the firing of guns, schreeches of whistles and waves of acres of bunting and handkerchiefs.

The Decatur Review seems to grieve very greatly that one of that city's citiZ3U8, by the name of P. Donahue, got into trouble in this city. It will be re membered Merchant Policeman McChee ncy arrested Donahue and a woman, the former for attempting to pass a valueless $100 bill, and the latter as an accomplice, she having given Donahue the bill to get changed. The Review says:

Parties from here who saw the bill are of the opinion it was gennine. If it is the some one old Brown claims to have "been robbed of, it came from the Taylorville back, or at least it iaso reported. Donahue recently applied for a license hare to run a saloon at Carroll's old stand on the levee and as far as is known has always borne a good reputation for honesty. The probabilities are that the arrest is the pssult of the people of Terre Haute being anaqjoainted with bilU of the denomination of a hundred dollars, which caused them to fight shy of thio one.

Donahue displayed his ignorance in attempting po get a bill changed which was nothing move than a piecc of paper nsed as a representative of money in a business college, Terre Haute may not be thoroughly acquainted with $100 bills but the people are not "suckers" to the extent that they can not tell genuine money when they see it. Donahue got himself into rather dis tasteful publicity by hi* actions with the iroman who was arrested with him and a requisition was taken to Decatur to ans the ch.arge of robbing the Brown referred to jja the Review's article. ,,

Press Comment.

BERLIN, 7.—The North German Gazette disputes the assertions of the British press that Austrian and Russian interests in the Balkans are inflicting. "They can easiiy be reconciled if they are conflicting." The Gazette says: "And to reconcile them is Germany's aim. Prince Bismarck can unhesitately express the conviction that Bulgaria is of no importance' to Germany. As Priuee Bismarck playes his cards, sur la table, vith the friendly imperial powers, it is erroneous to suppose that any estranguent will arise between the three empires when the question of tbe succession to Prince Alexander is up for discussion, inasmuch as under Alexander's reign no enmity existed between Ru&sia and Austria, although Alexander in a feoondary sense, ruled under Russian influences. The German nation shares in the con viction »f its government that the evenU in Bulgaria do not affect the national interests of Germany, and that German policy follows the right path. There need be no fear of Prince Bismarck sitting between two stools. On the contrary, he has chosen a sure foundation and has three stools for his policy."

VIENNA, September 7.—The Tremdenblatt say8: "Prince Alexander's abdication was an act of true sacrifice for the Bulgarian people. It was a noble act to avert dangers from the couutry. We hope that the question of succession will be peacefully ana legally settled. The prees urges the government to pursue a sound and vigorous policy of compensation and to avoid the sucidal policy of pulling either Bulgarian or English chestnuts out of the Russian fire."
