PRESIDENTIAL SPORTS

The capable and judicious states
man., now running the Government
at Long Branch, having become tired
of training horses and bull pups for
the amusement of his companions on
the sca-shore, has turned his atten-
ton to the P. r. and entered his
foreign son-in-law as a bruiser. The
Cincinnati Gazette, edited by the
"trooly good" Deacon Smith, gives a
long account of the first fisti-cuff
between Mr.. Sartoris and MI. Col
c%ouria, a young stock broker, and
how numerically the son-in-law of
our capable and judicious states
man" was battered and brought to
grief. The ''mill'' took place in Tom
Murphy's stable. Six coach loads
of persons witnessed it, among whom
were President Grant, Hon. Thomas
Murphy, C. w. Childs and other
gentlemen, patrons and gift-distri,
butors of MI. Grant. The "mint
juleps" passed freely. and nothing
was wanted to complete the happi
ness of our ''capable statesman but
the presence of Chaplain Newman
who was unfortunately absent il
Brooklyn, rendering his congratula
lions to Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
Let us all pray.

General Tom Young, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor Oh the
'truly loyal" Republican ticket, was
the editor of the Shelby county De
mocratin 1868, and a warm support
cr of Vallandigham for Governor.
He boosted of being the first man to
suggest "Val' as a candidate, but
Tom bent the "supple knee that
thrift might follow fawning," and
joined the lamp post patriots after
the defeat of his favorite candidate
for Governor, and the editor of the
Register, that has had such a holy
horror for Neutrality-suspicious. and
"rebel sympathizcrs," now supports
Tom for Lieutenant Governor!

As Gen. Grants administration
was "cOr77pt beyond precedent" up
to January s, 1874, rs the Eaton
Register said it was .torced TO con
.tess," what has it done since that
time to entitle it to be Endorsed by
the Republican State Convention as
a distinguished success" and Grant
a capable andjudicious statesman"
Let the voters and taxpayers ofPre-
bic county examine this matter care
fully, before they cast their ballots
in October next. Surely q party
that is corrupt beyond precedent"
should not be trusted with the GOV
eminent ofnational affairs. A change
cannot make it any worse, and the
people should remember this fact.

about that matter as the brilliant
and smart editor does himself. Judge
CAMPBELL has never been mentioned

Every vote given this fall for Gov

Grants administration with its sala-
~ grab of $4,000 per annum-its
usurpations in Louisiana-its third
term principle-its connection with
the robber and thief Boss Shepherd
its appointment of thieves to high
positions-its absence from the seat

''beyond precedent" Let the tax

voters remember this fact before

The Republican party is always
fanatical, says the Hancock Courier.
Last year it was the temperance
question, trying to force the I opin-
ions on other mems stomach's. This
year it is the religious question, at
tempting to control other mems con-
sciences according to their views.
The people condemned their fanati-
cal crusade last year and they will
condemn it in more emphatic terms
this year.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-15

The Grant organs that last year
were red-hot crusade papers and
abused everybody that was not in
favor of that fanaticism, are now terri
iblv exercised because the Democrats
have nominated a man for Lieutenant
Governor who is not a drunkard.

Since the Democratic Convention
declared in favor of a complete sep

sleep as usual. So much for the
peace of the country and a portion
of Grants economical administra-
ton.

longer safe to trust the reins of gov
eminent in such hands. The adj

The King of Shirts.

S. n. MOODY, of New Orleans, who
died recently by his own hand while suf-
fering from an intolerable neuralgia at
tack, was singular man. He prospered
when Louisiana was wealthy, and he
prospered when Louisiana was as poor
as a rat. The secret of his success was
advertising. He knew how to advertise,
and the duller the season the more per
sistently he kept himself and his wares
before the public. He was known as the
"Shirt King of the Southwest" On
every dead wall and on nearly every
telegraph pole in the Mississippi Valley
the wayfarer was invited Ito get his
shirts at S. N. Moody's." He was most
liberal patron of the daily press, and, by
thousand ingenious devices, and in
spite of tremendous opposition, he died,
as he lived, the supereminent and plu-
perfect King of Shirts" Such was his
faith in the necessity of captivating the
fancy of the people and winning their
attention that it WAS seriously declared
in New Orleans years ago he offered
50,000 to help pay for new steamboat
| intended for the St. Louis trade, provid'
ed he had the naming of the craft. His
offer was promptly accepted, but almost
as suddenly declined when it became
known. that "Get Your Shirts a.
Moodys" was to be the baptismal appel
lation. Col. Moody was thorough busi
ness man, but he lived in elegance anC
had many warm friends. II may be
very sublime ambition to secure sort Of
immortality in connection with thu
neither garment of man; but out of tina
common and not-to-be despised article o
wear Moody became rich merchant
lived en- prince, and gave his children |
first class education, backed up by al
the advantages of foreign travel

SNOW-SLIDES.
Terrible Disasters I'm the Whining RE-
giOns OF Utah.

giOns OF Utah.
. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 81.
Another snow.slide occurred in the
Big Cottonwood cannon yesterday after
noon, near the Richmond mines. A
party of men, with teams, were engaged
in " shaking down" ore. in raw hides,
were caught by the slide, and six men,
named Thomas N Broderick, William
Ritter, Charles Dabble, James Breeze,
Henry Atkins and Reuben Moore, were
carried away and their bodies are not yet
recovered. George McCoolin and Thorn
as White were carried away and covered
with snow, but were dug out afterward
and their lives saved. The slide extended
for distance of about one mile and was
almost 200 yards wide.
Yesterday the bodies of six persons
who were killed by snow-slide in the
city of Alta were. recovered Many
more are supposed 10 have perished, but
their bodies are covered to great depth
by the snow, and probably they will not
be found for some time. In one demol
ished house was found the body of Mrs
Carey, sitting in a rocking with an
infant clasped in her arms Near them
were the husband and little girl. AL
had been suffocated by the snow
At another house was dug out one
man, alive; another man, who had beer
sleeping beside him in bed, was dead
Stin another dead body was found il
the vicinity.
There is terror in these mining camps
and most of those who can get away
will probably leave, but this is Difficult
and dangerous undertaking. as the par
ties will have to w ak and run the giant
4 let of snow-slides on their way out OF th'
| Canons.
