Big Lick Letter.

Big LICK, Aug, 14th, II.
ED. JEFF: We had little sensation
last evening which we think too good
to be lost, as an. ex-editor of Findiay
was the principle actor. 1t seems that
during the day Mr.. j. G. Shondel
meyer, of Cass township, went to
Findlay to get a load of lumber and
do business, but before leaving town
imbibed SO freely as to be incapable of
taking care of himself or team, where
upon the illustrious (O editor of the
''Volks Blat" volunteered to take him
homs; but ins: lead of taking the right
road, he kept the team headed for
Tiffin. Mr.. FiegeI, of our township,
who knew the twain, was also return
ing from Findlay, some distance in the
rear OF the former, and finding that
they bore steadily eastward he drove
up and in hurried manner command
ed said editor to stop, but instead of
doing so he team was urged to greater
speed. Mr.. F. then drove around
them and blockaded the road in front
with his own team and wagon, and
again ordered the editor aforesaid off
the wagon, menacing him in such a
way with his whipstock that he thought
it best to obey. He was then told that
he was seven miles from town, and as
a shower had rendered the roads some
wha: heavy, and as he would have to
hoof it all the way, he was invited to
pull out in that direction, which he did,
bnt finding that the team was also
aboutfaeed he tried to board the wag
on and go as far as it would go in his
direction, but was refused. Mr.. Shon-
dlemyer, still incapable of taking care
of his team, was then driven home by
parties not in the habit of getting
"outside of benzine." The editor afore-
said. it is stated, breathed out serious
while en-, cute to Findlay, |
against certain parties to this action,
but no one is frightened.
We have been in the midst of seri
Gus drought until yesterday a slight
relieved it somewhat, but un-
less more follows it viii be of little |
permanent benefit The corn and |
potatoes in this part of the county
were seriously damaged by the heavy
rains in June and the early part Of
July This and the present drought
will reduce the crop far below last
years average Apples and peaches
are very scarce and poor at that as
there are scarcely enough to feed the
various gener, of insects that prey
ppon them. Yours, to command.

Hon. Lewis d. Campell's Opinion Of
Judge West.

A correspondent met the Hon. Lewis
d. Campbell and asked him what be
thought of Judge West, the Republi
can candidate for Governor. Colonel
Campbell said:
81 never had any personal acquaint-
ance with Judge West until we met in
the Convention to make a new Con-
stitution in 1873. In the discussion
there We were sometimes opposed to
one another, and sometimes on the
side. He is man of very intellectual
powers-asf far superior to Taft as Stan
ley Matthews is to Aleck Sands. If not
the very brightest and clearest headed
man in that ever memorable can car,
he was the equal of its ablest members.
After brief pause Colonel Camp
bell resumed:
Il regard him as a rather bitter par
tisan, but man in these latter days
don't count much unless he goes the
whole hog for his party. l am very
sorry that Judge West has lost his eye
sight. Although opposed to him pol
itically, | viii say that should he be
elected the Chair of the State will be
filled by as able man as has occupied
it in the last quarter of a century"
'But" said Colonel. II am out of
politics, and expect to stay out. Still,
when asked fair question about a
political opponent, l will answer it
honestly, if answer at all, though it
kill me. Were l not against being in
terviewed, l could give some facts in
connection with the ConstiutionalCon
vention, which would bear out the high
estimate | have expressed above of
Judge Vests abilities, and there are
plenty OF members of both parties who
could give their testimony TO the same
effect"
