formerly worked. There they called for Mir.

but not finding him, they commenced an iDdls
crlmiuate firing on the shop, which resulted in
killing John Albers, the assistant foreman, aud
the wouuding of two workmen. The employers
Of the shop turned out en mlsse and cleared
the purderers 'owards The river.
In the pursuit the Workmcn used stones ADD
knives, striking the nu:der-rs several times
before they ached the river. The latter leap

10 noticing the late summary deposition of
MIR. Jewell from Gen. Grants Cabinet, the
New York Journal of Commerce says:
"rhe downward road, which the President
seems bent 90 following, has few impedlments,
and 90 one can predict the depth of disgrace
which may be reached within tine next pine
mouths. Some of the republican papers are
seeking to serve their party by fostering the
idea that there is not the best of feeling be.
tween the standard bearer in the political cam
paign aud the present Incumbent, and that the
latter is DOT seriously working to promote the
party succession. We sincerely hope that this
is true. Whether Mr.. Hayes is elected or DOT,
it cannot stand to bis credit that he is the
choice of that circle DOW dominant at the White
House aod We earnestly desire that be will
make it more aud more apparent, as the can
vass proceeds, that he is not the candidate OF
the Whiskey Ring, or subject to Its control.
1t would be thousands OF Votes in his favor II
he would let it be understood that be does not
accept the overtures of official help from that
quarter. and that his success Is not to be the
perpetuatiop of dynasty so iusepsrably linked
with all that is corrupt aud dissraoetul 10 pub.
