went to mass, leaving him in bed. A short time
afterward he arose, dressed himself, and went
into the room where his children were, and from
there into the cellar, where he was found by his
son, hanging by a rope to one of the beams,
with life extinct. He had been somewhat in
temperate, and his wife states that she noticed

evening, though no cause is assigned for the

the apportionment of the county tax this year
among the several towns, made under the act of

raised is the same as last year. but that the pro-
portionate amounts to be paid by the several
towns are considerably changed. Twelve towns
and the city of Worcester are called upon for
an increased amount, while the other towns will
nav less than heretofore;

therefore unjustly held. Sharp notes between

COLUMBUS, Nov. ia special consultation
meeting of Democrats and Liberal Republicans
was held to-day. The latter, about forty in
number, adopted resolutions to maintain their
organization; that the next Liberal Convention
should declare squarely in favor of tariff for
revenue only; that thereafter the party name
should be dropped for that of the Liberal
party" and all organizations which have CO.
operated with them be asked to join it. They
also oppose all special legislation and special
privileges and adhere to equal rights as their
guiding principle. 81 -
The combined meeting of Democrats and
Liberals adopted an address prepared by Sena-
tor Thomas Gen. Ewing, Gen. Brinkerhoff and
John NJ. Dashler, to the members Of both par
ties in Ohio, reciting the re-electing of General
Grant and deploring the fact, but refused to
censure those Democrats who refused to vote
for Greeley or voted for Grant.
Instead of repelling them, it says "strive to
bring them back. Its no time for relaxation of
effort, nor is it intelligent, wise OF manly to
dispar of success. No reform party ever
gained the first battle. Consolidated abuse can
only be overthrown by repeated assaults.
Monopoly and corruption ever die hard, but in
pie will their destruction. Say then to every
friend of Reform, BE of good cheer Ohio
is, we believe, the only State in which the
radical majority of 1868 has been reduced A
few more struggles and it will cease to exist. :"
The duty of calling State Convention of the
two organizations was RENTED to two State
Executive Committees. Considerable talk was
elected by the reading of the resolutions adopt
ed by the Liberal meeting but most of thu old
giving up the Democratic party and adopting in
its stead that of the Liberal party, that no
mention or resolution on the subject was
brought before the meeting.
