ANDY JoHsoN has been interviewed by
a Cincinnati Commercial correspondent
On being asked what he thought Of
Grants message, said:
Well, it's about the weakest docu-
ment that was ever under the necessity
of being called State paper. In fact,
it is no State paper. 1t is as weak as
water. There is not point in it. You
can't tell half the time what he is driv-
ing at, and it is doubtful if he knows
himself | see that great many Re
publican journals are condemning it..
The fact is, they are tired of Grant.
The intelligent men Of the party don t
know what to do with him. 1t would
crafty them much if he would resign.
but he won't. So far from resignlng,
hoo working and intriguing for second
term. He will never get it. He is no
more fit for President than goose
He has got no abilty-nothing but a
little low cunning. His cunning is of a
poor sort; it is mean cunning. He
never had an original thought in his
life. He is an Insignificant little fellow,
a bundle Of personal piques, petty spites
and prejudice. He is as selfish as the
days are long. He used the highest
office in the gift Of the people to ad-
vance his private ends and those Of his
family, and intrigue for the second
term. He knows a little something
about horses, but has not brains enough
to make a first-class jockey, if turned
out to the business, although that is
about all he is fit for. If we are to
have horse jockey for the highest
office in the land, we ought to have a
good one.

A great mystery hangs over the
Mevers murder at Hamilton, Ohio.
Among those present in the faro room
were several prominent citizens. But
one man can give an intelligent account.
Though in the same room he did
not hear the discharge Of the pistol thai
Meyers had, or know OF man having
been struck with slung shot. A boy
states that before the occurrence Tom
McLehen, James McLehen, Jack Gar
vev, Daniel McLehen, and Jack Shelley
pass through the saloon below, going
upstairs. On this statement warrants
were sworn out against them, but they
gave themselves up before their service
Tom McLehen is suspected on account
of being concerned in the Meyers atfray

no more victims Of the Spottswood
