THE TOLEDO BLADE.

eSterday afternoon the transfer of
the weekly Blade was made to DR.. A.
p. Miller, of this city, and Hon. j. W.
l1aynie, of Carson City, Nevada. The
price paid was 10000, a large proportion
Of which was cash down. Locke has
no farther interest in the weekly as Il
proprietor, but is paid Il salary for the
weekly Nasty letters and for his i'll
tiuence III obtaining advertising,
through his advertising bureau in New
York City. DIR. Miller will be sole ed
itor and manager. Mr.. Haynie is REL
ative Of the Doctor and is III Ohioan by
birth. He went into the army as !. pri-
vate, served during the war and came
out with an hon orlble record as a Cap
tain. He settled in Carson City and
since the war bias made Il fortune in
lumber dealing. He is also the heavi-
est stakeholder in a bank ut Carson City.
He will not remove to Toledo and will
have 10 editorial connection with the
paper.
DR.. Miller has been with the weekly
Blade ut different times for Il period OF
SIN years. He is undoubtedly one of
the best newspaper managers ever con-
nected with the Blade.
1t is said that since he assumed the
IS circulation has doubled. There is
rumor that Messrs. HAynie and Miller
will soon purchase the daily Blade
Toledo Democrat.
This fixes the Blade where it belongs.
DR.. Miller went into the Blade when it
was a paper of merely local circulation
and influence. In three years time he
gave the Blade a national circulation
and made Il fortune for himself and
his two partners. The Blade was then
sold to John Paul Jones, the office man.
ager. In two or three years time, Jones
had run the paper down to 10000 circu-
lltion and was hopelessly involved. He
sent to DR.. Miller at Chicago to come
and save the Blade. The Doctor went,
and last year ran the circulation up to
&C, 900 and put the Blade on a paying
basis again. The recent arrangement,
as we said before, puts the Blade where
it belongs. Twice has DR.. Miller given
it national circulation and the paper
is justly and legitimately his own. May
he hold it through life and long live to
enjoy the fruits of his labor. In the
Blade, he has property worth a score
Of contracts to sell railroad land.
WANTS A HANDINIE
A farmer who is now in Wisconsin,
but who expects to be back to this
county soon, writes us under date of
October 18th:
/: FRIEND MILLER: have long desir-
ed to see you and write to you on gen-
eral principles, and to encourage you in
your tribulations with vicious enemies.
But as have been and am still unable
to encourage you even by paying you
your just dues in dollars and cents, L
feel very slow to speak out in meeting.
But I hope soon to square up. My crop
was flax and was entirely destroyed by
G. Hoppers. So have temporarily come
here for the winter. Will write more
soon and feel an especial desire to have
Il hand In the matter if there is any
thing more to be said in regard to Spir-
itualism. Free Love, etc: will enclose
small amount. =
