Mn JoHT i. BARRETT,
Editor Hartford Herald:
Having been informed hv response
ble persons that the authorship of the
communication in Your last issue
sigued investigator is attributed 10
me, and not wishing to receive the
merit or demerit of ANYTHING To which
| am not justly entitled, | take this
method of stating that | am not the
author Of said communication.
The reasons that influence me in
my emphatic support of T. j. Smith
are these, To wit; 1st, that | am OPP
posed 10 the principle of one mans
holding any Office Of trust or cmo!u-
ment for more than two consecutive
terms unless cltrdoriianYy reasons de
mand it. 2nd. a profound belief that
Mr. Smith did not a-t c,ITn3fH in the
arrangement which he and Judge
Baird are said to have made with
MeSsrS. Hudson and Marks with re-
gard To the Coleman and Mcador. and
Hill and Phelps contest. | think
that Mr.. Smith deserves election. not
only As partial remuneration for his
uniform and Jealous democracy, but a.
proof that his acknowledgements do not
believe the charge of corruption made
acains; him A. To myself not on
~ voted for Mr.. Cox. but used nv in
hucncc 10 secure Us large vote as posi-
bic TO promote his last election. IL i,
not that Il love Caesar less hut Rome
more that / support Mr.. Smith. |
concede that Mr.. Cox has made a good
officer and has been uniformly court
eouS and obliging rs n clerk. There
fore, il is not tia, | wish 10 pluck Il
single laurel from the coronet of praise
thai eucifclcS his brow rs "a reward for
his faithful di,charga of official duty
that | oppose his rc-cleciion. The su-
periOr reason that aciuateS me and
hundreds of others, | presume, i. that
We wish To viniicate me honor. the in
tcgrity and tie pure democracy of +. J. /
Smith Being a democrat after the Z.
straightcst sect, believing that the .
Of lis principles Is essen
tial TO the perpetuity of Republican /
form Of government, granting equal |
rights to all and exclusive privileges /
to none, cannot do otherwise than .
spouse the cause of tried democrat /
especially when both his personal in
te-rity and party fealty are called in
question.
As 10 the communication of Inves-
,igator, | have this to say. The politi-
cal history of Mess. Smith and Cox was
principallymade before | came to this
county, and of it, therefore, | am not
prepared to speak. Whatever of falls
ity there is in the allegations of "lnve,-
tigator" can be easily exposed for the
records arc accessible, and when ex-
posed, will be condemned; whatever OF
truth there is in them, will stand and
no attempt to crush it will succeed be-
fore a just. a fearless, and an enlight-
ened people, Democrats Of Ohio
let us give Mr.. Smith such "a
on the 25th inst. rs will en-
enable him, with standard full high ad-
vanced," to achieve a brilliant victory
in August next.
Come as the winds come when forests arc
rendel
Come rs the waves come when navics are
stranded
and attest your confidence in the hero
ism, the purity. and the Democracy of
Thomas j. Smith. Yours. &c,

A FERRY-BoAT COLLISION YESTERDAY.

A collision took place last evening between
the Rocaway steamer Americas and the Farragut,
OF the Fulton ferry-boats which nearly resulted In
great disaster both boats crowded with passeu-
gers The Americas was steamng up the East River
with full tide. and when JEWELS Dock she swung
round so as land her passengers at that place Just
then the Faragt shot out Of her slip her pilot probably
thinking that the tide would drift her out Of the Of
the Americas. But it that he mscaleulated the
distance both boats suddenly blew their whistles,
and before either vessel could get out OF
the way Of the other, the Farragut struck
the Americas in the bows, Shaving in her
breakwater aud cutting her 20 the waters edge but
herself teeiving hardly damage. In moment there
was O panic on board both boats; women and children
screaming Subsequently the Americas steamed further
up the river TO carry her passengers ~ New York Tie
FafPagut proceeded her way and continued her regu
lar trips during the evening. No one Injured on
either vessel None Of the employees at the ferry or on
the boat would speak about the collision. The damage
caused the Americas is estimated by the police at from
$500 TO $780, and is supposed that the ferry company
VIA settle quietly with the Of the Americas. The
police lay the blame upon the pilot OF the FarTagut
