There is not a man on the Democratic
ticket to be voted to-day more deserving
the fullest strength Of the party than
him whose name heads this paragraph.
For years he has been one of our hard
est and best working Democrats, giving
freely Of both time and money, and has
done, perhaps, more to keep the party
together, intact and perfect, than any
member of it. We owe him much
more than a reelection TO his present
Office viii repay-and We hope every
Democrat viii realize that it is incum-
bent upon him to vote for him, and la
bor in his interest. His opponent on
the Radical ticket has no claims on the
white people Of this cOunty-the fact
that he Is associated with Curry is suffi-
cient to wipe out all that he ever had.
The man who gives a vote to Foley is no
Democrat, and might as well make his
bed with Curry and Barbour Lewis and
all the supporters of Grant. The cleo
tiOn OF our ticket to-day is all-impOrt-
ant. 1t should not be scratched. Dem
oerats should vote "plump" every time.

EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Arrest of the RObber and Recovery Of a
Portion Of the Money.

CINCINNATI, July 31.--H. X. Whit
tlesey, money receiving clerk of the
Adams Express Company, was arrested
to-day, and eight thousand dollars re-
covered from him. He is in durance fol
embeZZlement. Last Saturday he left
| the office as usual in the evening. Nc
business called him there on Sunday.
On Monday he did not appear as usual.
Inquiry was made of his wife, who said
he had gone away Saturday night, leav-
ing word he was going to Louisville,
and would be back Monday morning.
An express agent, Mr.. l.. G. Weir, took
the matter in hand. He telegraphed to
Louisville and found that he had not
been in that city. Nothing was YET
known of any defalcation. 1t was sus-
pected that he might have held back
money sent here from messengers and
appropriated instead of delivering it. II
was found Monday evening that his wife
had received telegram from him, dated
Jersey City, which stated that he would
be back Tuesday evening in this city.
Dispatches were sent all over the United
States. The little finger of his right
hand being drawn short served to iden-
tify him to two detectives ON an At
lantic and Great Western train yester-
day at Meadville, they did not arrest
him then, but never left him until he ar
rived in this city this morning when
he was arrested. He took away nine
thousand dollars, of which eight thou
sand dollars has been recovered by the
Express Company. In leaving home he
deposited a note to his wife which
was found last evening containing
one thousand dollars, telling her that
she will never see him again, that he is
going to Mexico or Spain. He also left
one thousand dollars with a lewd woman
in this city. He is thirty-fve years old,
and has been in the employ of the COM
pany ten years. He came here from
Lafayette, and has been here four years.
The company never suspected him until
Monday morning, when he failed to
appear at the desk. He was popular,
atfable and a favorite with the public
as well as with the company.

Dispatches from the scene of the ex-

Upper Mississippi, yesterday, add little
to the facts already come to light. Six
persons, including Captain Malbeen and
the pilot, Tom Wilson, are known to be
lost. OF the sixteen saved, four are
wounked or scalded. H. Smith, who
with his wife and two children, was
among the passengers, saved himself
and one child, but the boat sunk very
rapidly after the explosion occurred,
and the other Child was drowned in the
state-room before he could get to it. The
accident occurred just as the passen-
gers were sitting down to dinner, and
the force of the explosion was such as to
tear the entire upper part of the boat
into fragments, and she sunk in ten feet
of water. As is usual, the cause of the
explosion is unknown.
