however, he concluded to go 70 Column

never been on railroad ear, and his
family persuaded him TO try this mode
of conveyance. He finally consented,
and when the conductor came
around for his fare, Kendall produced
his twcnty-year old pass, The con-
ductor denurred u little, but finally
consented. Then when Kendall got TO
Columbus he concluded TO draw his old

concluded that the railroad wasn't

VOTERS REMEMBER

That as u general rule every man must
vote In his own election precinct, No
one can vote out of his precinct or out
of his county, unless he delivers to the
presiding officer of the election GER
tificate from the District Clerk that he
Is registered voter Of the county in
which he resides. Besides this, he
must swear that he is the identical
person named in the certificate, and
that he has not and will not vote else
where in the then pending election.
The best way is for every man to
vote in his own precinct, and we espe-
cially urge those in the country to do
30. BY crowding into town, many
may loose theirvotes. Only those who
see beforehand that they will be away
from home on election day, should get
certificates from the Clerk in order
that they may vote for State or District
officers elsewhere.
Be warned In time, and nobody will
be disappointed.

The Devil at Work In Shreveport.

From the Shreveport Times, Oct. 1871
Az the scourge through which we are
passing has served to develop the
noblest traits that adorn humanity, so,
too, 1t has brought to surface passions
that would disgrace n Comanche'
Among the vile few with which the
community has been cursed In its days
of death and desolation, one j. Z.
Grady stands pre-eminenent. This
base creature, shortly after the bleak
ing ont of the epid mic, volunteered
his services rs nurse, and while IN
that capacity at the residence of an es-
timablc citizen, Capt. w. w. Barrett,
is supposed to have stolen one hun
bred dollars-the sum being missed
after Grady's leaving the house, and
he showing n large sum OF money
while on u spree shortly after. Arrest
ed for outrageous disorderly conduct,
he showed 50 much professional skill IN
trying to dig out of the calabooscJ AS to
leave no doubt that it was not his first
stay within prison walls.
But these exploits were nothing in
comparison with what were to follow.
In the scarcity of nurses, Grady sue
ceeded in foisting himself upon u
worthy couple residing short distance
from this city, the husband being down
with the feye" mt the time. From his
drunken neglect, the lady was soon n
widow, and was taken with the
malady. While lying fever-scorched
and battling with death, this fiend
made brutal attempt upon her person.
But heaven lent the almost dying
woman streng II in her dire extremity,
and she succeeded I'm foiling the
wretch's hellish design. Fearing u
rope and n short shrift, Grady "lit out"
and is supposed to have gone IN the
direction Of Little Rock, where he ut
one time figured as Il printer.
That the public ut large may spot
the brute, we give the following de-
scripti0n of Grady: He is about
twenty-elght or thirty years old, five
feet eight or nine inches high, weighs
one hundred and thirty pounds, has
grey eyes, light brown curly hair, light
moustache, has broken nose, hair-lip
and is an ugly cuss generally, whose
looks would condemn him without
due process of law. Our hope is to
hear soon of his arrest and speedy
execution.

RI0RT.

Mayor Longs head is level about en-
tertalning another congressional dele
cation. AS long rs our fellow beings
In numerous sister towns are stricken
with death aud appeal for help in mon
ey, collins, nurses and food, the angels
Of Heaven would justly frown If we
spent money In entertainments, rather
than in relieving our distressed neigh
bors ofMarshall, Shreveport Columbus
and Calvert. Not q cent in frivolities
or pleasure, fellow-citizens of Dallas,
till our kindred in those towns are re-
lleved. Rather let US deny self in ci-
gars, drinks, theatres, drives and every
luxury, and send the amount to those
who are helpless in the hour and arti-
Gle Of death. II every man in Dallas
will deny himself ten cents In BUSH
ness for ten days, 1t will be SlS2.S0 per
day, or 81 1882 in ten days. This might
save many lives in our sister towns.
Who is SO deaf to sorrow as to refuse?

FROST IN EARNEST.

On Friday morning, the Oath inst,
all early risers In Dallas had the OPP
portunity of beholding genuine white
frost, looking in some spots like n
young snow.
We have watched carefully and only
once before saw light symptom Of the
much desired messenger of relief to
Shreveport, Marshall, Calvert and 9TH
or places. Yet we have evidently had
three light frosts previously. The last
one, however, was genuine and thor
ough. God grant that its influence may
already have checked the fearful raw
ages Of death in our sister towns.

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1873-08-28

On the 9th ballot a misunderstand-
ing took place in Venice township,
and its vote was to be changed to
Strausbaugh, which would as the count
then stood, have nominated him.
This was objected TO, bat the chair
ruled that the township had right to
recall its vote. Other townships saw
how the matter would go, and gen.
eral change Of votes was entered up
on. When the matter was finally
settled, and figured up, Mcclellan was
the nominee, but delegate moved
that the ballot be thrown out, and
that the convention proceed To the
9th ballot. This was agreed to, and
on that ballot Mcclellan was success
fiiI. Mr.. Strausbaugh retired from the
scene ofhis slaughter in. high dqd-
geOn, and expressed himself to the
effect thst Mcclellan would make a
sweet-he didn't use that word-Com-
missioner, aud that his nominatIon
was trick. All these defeated fel-
lows are beaten 10y tricks Mcclellan
was called upon for a speech. He
went forward and shook hands with
ths Vice aud President. and like Nor
tOn anu Wagner said the nomination
was unexpected-that lie would do
his duty, and would do the people
good if elected. -i. al5 .ai
The Convention began TO thin cut.
Tile defeated candidates had lost their
interest, and their friends felt little
in the same way. 1llaa- la.e $50

was unexpected-he returned thanks
promised II elected TO do his duty.
This Treasurer job was the best
worked affair before the convention.
Mr.. Wagner went into the eonyen-
tion with some sfxty-four delegates
upon whom lie could depend when
lhe right point was reached The
third ballot was that place. His own
personai delegates voted for lIi1fa, and
the ballot for the 81 Ward-fonr votes
was cast blank. In the meantime
il was ascertained that he had got
seyenty5our votes, two short OF 3
nomination. When the Sd Ward was
called blank, one Of the delegates said
it was the intention TO vote for Wag-
ner, and It was allowed. The trick
worked, and Mr. Wagner got the eov-
eted position. The second INSTALL
ment Of the slaughter had taken place.
The dead were very lively corpses,
however, and made the air blue with
curses. Mr.. Wagner was denounced
as former bOlter, was threatened
with defeat on account OF his religion,
and the mad men acted with the usual
lack Of wisdom. Even that reliable
Democrat, Paul BOIlinger, was out
ragged. He had threatened to defeat
Wagner for Treasurer because the lat
ter had promised him the vote Of a
ward for Representative, snd he had
not given him cVen = complimentary.
Paul felt bad, aud did not know but
he was losing his influence. Mr..
Wagner will have much to do TO heal
the dissatisfaction against him, and
should lose no time. Dire vengeance
has been sworn.
The Prosecuting Attorney was sOon
disposed or The vote stood, G. w.
Bachman, 92l; J. X. HuddIe, 5S4.

ed up on a chair and talked from that !.
He said he was going to be elected.

rHE FAIRFIELD COUNTY ExBEzzLE-
p. MEyFE. -.''i

2 system OF embezzlements has
been going on in Democratic Fairfield
for years. Theg have been lately un-
earthed, and the Commissioners,
while expressing great Indignation,
pitch on an uninfuential member Of
tie party as seape-goats and let the
big guns go. Thus it always is with
the Democracy-if they cannot cover
up viIIainy in their party they punish
the weak. Here is how the case
stands :lYf ba4-Dali -lS-L ~
The Fairfield County Treasury in
vestigatiOn and its results have at
tracted great attention i'm Columbus.
The report OF General Goldman has
shown very clearly where the respon-
sibility lies, and who are the guilty
parties, but fears are expressed that
the County ommissionefs in their
proceedings have an eye as much tO
political policy as to the ends OF JUS
4 tice and the welfare of the county.
1After,the report of Gen. Goldman had
been made, these Commissioners be-
came highly incensed against j. w.
TOwsOn, who in his affidavit, sw0re
that be had stolen $4,I00 In bonds and
had given them to Gibelin. TowsOn
was promptly arrested and lodged in
Jail, Notwithstanding he had long been
confined to his house by sickness.
This was right But jacob Baker,
the Treasurer OF the county, whose
official career exhibits q continual en-
bezzlement of the county funds,
whose health is perfectly good, and
who is believed by many to be the
worst criminal of the lot-he Is still
permitted to go unarrested; remains
quietly at his i1Ome, and, it is said, re-
eeives frequent visits Of coincidence
from those who think that his embez-
elements (amOunting to $30,000) are
sufficiently large to entitle him to
rank with grand defaulters instead of
common criminals. He IA, il Is true,
a man of property, and will doubtless
be able to reimburse the county; hut
people think that this does. not one
whit alter either the moral or legal
aspect OF the case, and that Baker
should be put upon the same footing
as ToWsOn. f.,s-.i..a.l
Now, why this difference? II Is said
that the influence of TOwson, the De-
putty Auditor had vanished some time I
ago, and hence he could be safely |
made martyr, or rather scapegoat,
Bakers influence, and the influence OF
the Baker family, are not yet gone. |
Hence, not only is Jacob Baker, the |
Treasurer, allowed to go unarrested !; !
but Thornton Baker, Deputy Treasur- |
er, is allowed to escape. The arrest
and prosecution Of the Bakers would |
not be good thing politically.
But more than this. Gibelin, who |
the bonds stolen by Towson
'as Towson sWears) is also unmoIested |
1t home. The Commissioners should
be able to explain these things satis-
to the people, as the latter
will conclude that so far as said COM
are concerned. the investi-
CATION Is a sham. and that systemAt-
c attempt is being made to shield the
iefaulting and embezzling Democrat
e officials from the just consequences
Of their offense.
The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1873-08-28

This was a hot contest in which q
few took part, and considerable trick
cry was attempted. After The grist
was ground, Willow was called up
and, after shaking hands with thevice
and President, like Norton, Wag-
ner, Mcclellan and Britt, said the
nomination was unexpected. He then
went on and made the best speech Of
the day, and closed by saying that he
expected that the first duty he would
be called upon to perform, would be
to sit upon the body of the great de-
funct Republican party. This point
was so unexpected from this singed
cat, that it brought down the hause.
Thus ended a six-hour session Of the
Democratic party of Sehecs County.
