We would suggest in all kindness that
our police authorities go slow = bttle
sometimes On last Saturday afternoon
our streets were considerably crowded
with people, and while policeman Shine
was escorting lady and her children over
the Oberly crossing and pavement, q
group of some four solid old farming citi-
zens from the country obstructed the side
walk somewhat, thing by the way that
town people are guilty Of every day. Mr..
Shine claims that he requested them 10
stand aside several times, and they did
not obey. He soon returned with police
man Thompson in search Of the offending
cid gentlemen, who were then seated in
social converse in Oberly's They forth
with arrested Messrs Joseph Sommer,
John P. Bordner, Edward Koher and
John Sommer.
On Mr.. Bordners resisting a little,
Thompson threw the old man of near 20,
violently on the pavement and clapped
the irons upon him. The party were then
conducted TO the Mayors Office, where.
after a short time. his honor appeared and
dismissed the defendants. t

thoritles go slow little. The fact Il, per

The speech of Secretary Delano at
Sandusky before its delivery was sent to
all the papers of the country that would
be likely to publish 1t in their columns,
and the result was the speech was pre-
sented to 8 large number of readers
throughout the Union on the morning af-
ter its delivery. But it seems there was a
slight misunderstanding on the part Of
some of the "loyal" journals upon the
subject. The document was sent to them
in official envelopes from the Interior de-
paItment, under the frank of the Secreta-
ry, and they, in view of the way patron
age is dispensed by the administration,
supposed that their devotion to the cause
was to be rewarded by a little pap" and
that the speech was to be inserted as an
advertisement, and some Of them have al
ready sent in their bills for the publica-
ton. Whether these CLAIMS" are allow
ed or not, it is quite certain that they are
as well founded as some others that are
paid.-Ohio Statesman.

The mark of an auger is visible on the

were taken unpaeked The shop is in a

He had been one of the fathers of the

especially in this section of the State, was
left to as great set of Scalawags and
villains as ever cursed any party. Lead

elected four years ago by majority Of
eight thousand, was defeated in the late
election by majority nearly if not quite
as large. The PoltsbLan accounts for the
change by the statement that, the Gov

According to the same authority the
German Republicans of Cincinnati reject
several nominations of the party conven-
