Greenfield.

Greenfield is one of the most beau
tiful towns in Ohio. 1t is located on
elevated ground, and nearly every
street is lined with shade trees. The
pavements, like those at Washington
G. H., are laid with large flag stones.
On the outskirts Of the town, where
the streets are not paved, there are
walks where the gutter of the street
is usually made, some twelve feet from
the buildings. These walks are made
Of stone, level with the streets, and
the stones are so1ne twenty inches in
width, and of various lengths, from
one to fifteen feet.
We went to see our old neighbor
and friend, Elias Hildenbrand. He
resides in nice frame house, at the
extreme west Of the town, on elevated
ground. He owns four and half
acres Of land, and it is not necessary
to say to the farmers about Jackson,
that his land IS III the highest state OF
cultivation. Mr.. Hildenbrand is fail
ing in health. A few years ago he
had an attack of paralysis, and he has
been crippled in his right side ever
since. He now has bad cough, and
he is only just able to walk around.
He and his wife appear to be alone.
He is IA years of age. He says he is
now living on borrowed time, having
past the allotted three score years and
ten. We have met many honest,
pure, Christian men during our life,
but we do not think we ever met a
better man than Elias Hildenbrand
We called on John Chestnut, for
merly of Jackson. He was glad to
see us.
We called at the office Of the High
land Chief. It is nice office, on the
lower floor Of the City Hall building.
We found Mr. Sprung. the editor, and
his son, very intelligent young man,
in the office.

everybody smiles, because you first
hold it by the brim and let the crown
tip gracefully over your arm, and by
the time you have hit three or four
wOrshipers in the head with it, you
change and turn it under your arm
and try to carry it that way without
touching it, and the first thing you do
III that pose, you put woman's eye
out with your elbow. Then, when
you sit down, you put the hat on the
floor, setting it on the brim; a fatal
mistake. And then, before the SER
mon is half through, you put your
feet on it three times. But never
mind; you have to learn some time.
Only don't imagine that people never
saw anything Of the kind before, be-
cause they have.

rhe Y0nno Mans First Hat.

The first time you wear astove-pipe
hat everybody looks at you. Not, as
you may vainly imagine, because you
are the first young man who ever
wore a stovepipe hat, but because it is
apparent to the old blind man who
sits in the back pew, without any
cushion, away back under the gallery
where the poor have the gospel
preached at them, that it is the first
time you ever wore hat of that de-
scription. Your old father claps one
on the back Of his head, puts his
hands into his pocket, hold up his
head, and walks off down the street
in gale of wind and never thinks
of his hat. But you, son, you pull
yours on at the most grateful an
gle it can be posed, and you 60 teter-
ing along both hands ready at the hat
at the slightest provocation of the
ghostliest phantom of a puff of wind.
You don't look comfortable, son.
Your hat is always trying to come Oft;
you bump it against everything you
pass; you rub it the wrong way when
you try to brush the dust off it; W hen
you carry it in your hand up the aisle,

committee on credentials received and
adopted. 1t showed that some of the
delegations were not full, and sugges-
ted that they be filled, so far as prac-
ticable, from the persons present.
Committee on order of busines re-
ported. The first recommendation
was, that the question Of a union with
the Nationals be the first question de-
cided by the convention, and after
that, the question of nominations be
taken up, and that the convention be
governed by the ordinary rules in such
cases.
John l.. Long was reported for per-
manent chairman, and John J. Van
divort Secretary. Porter DuHadway
then arose and made a speech about
the fusion ticket, and said every Dem
ocrat in the county, whether a dele
gate or not, had a right to be heard.
The motion was seconded, and the
chairman put the question, and was
just about to rush the matter through,
when DR.. [. 7. Monahan demanded to
be heard, and in one of the most SEN
sible speeches we ever heard him make,
denounced the trick attempted to be
palmed off upon the Democracy.
Then Irvine DUNCAN made a speech
on the other side. Then j. NJ. Watts
took the floor and made a speech. 1t
was hard to tell on which side the
Deacon arrayed himself. He said he
would get down so low, as to let Re-
publicans, or even negroes, vote with
him, if thereby he could defeat the
heathen Republicans.
Next came Porter DuHadway, and
talked around the question, not taking
any decided ground, but pitched into
DIR. |. I. In very vigorous manner
|. t. contradicted him time or two
Mr.. DuHadway then took up the
defense of the poor laboring man, an6
almost brought tears to many red eyes
in the convention.
|. I. then got up to defend himself
when several Democrats cried put
him out" but he is not the kind of {
man to be put out, and he went Oh
and scored the fusionists to the red.
The question was then put, and 6
big ''aye" was the result; but before
the negative was put, DuHadway sale
the townships must be called, and the
votes of the delegates taken. The
chairman said yes; he had overlooked
that, and then the work among the
delegates was brisk for a time, wher
the result was announced as follows

Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague has given
her story of the late Sprague-Conk-
ling difficulty to the press. This
statement if taken as true, and his
conduct since leads US to believe that
it is, proves what we at first supposed,
that Gov. Sprague is a crazed, drunken
rufian, whom some particular friend
should take to some secluded spot and
knock upon the head. He recently
had stormy meeting with his wife,
and, report says, would have assaulted
and inflicted bodily injury upon her,
but for the interference of friends.
One of the strangest features Of the
trouble is that it is pretty clearly
proven that Senator Conkling was
invited to the Sprague residence by
Sprague himself. We are of opinion
that Mr.. Sprague's troubles can all be
crowded into one word-''suakes."

From Kansas.

GARNETT, Aug. II, 1879.
To the Editor of the Standard:
Enclosed is an obituary Of Frederick
P. Whitcher, who from about 1885 to
1889, was citizen Of jackson
WHITCHER.-At his residence in Monticello,
Col, Sunday, August 3, 1879, at 10 A. M, F. P.
Whitcher, in the 6Sth year of his age.
Mr.. Whitcher was formerly resident of this
city came here from Kentucky in 1857. After
wards moved to Allen county, Kansas; thence
to Monticello, at which place he has made his
home for the past twelve years, where he
leaves many friends to regret the loss of one
who was ever fond and devoted husband; ; a
kind and indulgent father, and true and gem
erous friend. His daughter, Mrs. ]. T. Lock
wood of this place, has been with him for the
past four rweeks.-lLeavenworth Times.
Mr.. Whitcher was a resident of south part of
Anderson county, instead of Allen county, and
well known to many of the old settlers.-[Gar-
nett Plain Dealer.
His first wife was a Miss Trockmor-
ton, and his second Miss Lamb from
Kentucky. In those days he was an
active and energetic Wing, and COM
ing here in 1857, when the Democratic
party, North and South, was making
every effort to make Kansas slave
Territory, he at once allied himself
with the Free State men, under the
lead of Tom Ewing, Old John Brown
and Jim Lane, who made bitter fight
for free territory and free men, and
against Buchanan and his U. S. SOL
diers, and the border ruffians from
Missouri under ex-Vice President,
Dave Atchisson, and the butchers from
Georgia under Buford sent by the now
loyal and law-abiding men, A. III. Ste
phens, Ben. Hill, Bob Toombs and
''sich,'' and the cut-throats from Vir-
ginia under III. Clay Pate, sent by such
patriots as Wise, Mason and Goode, to
murder and drive out every man, wo-
man and child, who did not believe
that slavery was democratic and di-
vine institution. 1t is to such men as
Tom Ewing and Whitcher that Kan
sas and Kansas men are indebted for
free soil, free speech, free press, and
free schools, and we gladly give them
credit.
It was then democratic to use Z. S.
soldiers, to stamp freedom out OF
territory and make room for slaves
and democrats, but now it is awful to
use troops to keep the peace at the
polls and prevent the democrats from
shooting every Republican voter-and
from voting early and often as they
did in Kansas, and now do IN the solid
South. J. J. HOFFMAN.

The rebels held Senatorial con-
vention at Gallipolis last week. In
order to show of what kind of mate
rial it was composed, it is only neces-
sary to say that Combs of Ironton,
and Bowen Of Macarthur, were the
secretaries. They nominated man
named Montgomery, of Gallia, and
iona Morris, Of Ironton. Morris is a
sorehead Republican. Cline and Kelly
will beat these men by some where
near three thousand majority.

The Administration is taking vigor-
GUS measures for the suppression of
polygamy in the United States. The
Mormons are sorely grieved at the
wickedness of the Administration, but
so long as the dissatisfaction is con-
fined to the men, there is no immedi-
ate cause for alarm. We should trem-
BILE for our country if every Mormon
should conclude to send his wife" on
to Washington, to give the hard
hearted officers "a piece of her mind. >
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1879-08-21

Finaanciers of the Ewing stripe are
in decidedly bad way. Two years
ago they were going about the coun-
try solemnly assuring the people that
resumption in 1879 was impossible.
Now they admit that it was not only
possible, but is an accomplished fact.
Yet they claim that resumption has
brought ruin upon the country, and
promise that if the people will place a
Democratic Administrator in power,
they will make specie payments
impossible-immediately, and ever
more. But John Sherman is a good
physician-the people do not want any
quacks.

We would like to ask the Ports
mouth Times a question, if it would
not be considered impertinent. Was
not Wells A. Hutchins a member of
Congress in this district, elected by
Democrats, in the year 1865? Did he
not, early in that year, vote for that
amendment to the constitution which
abolishes slavery in the United States
Did not the Times roundly and sound
ly abuse Mr.. Hutchins on account of
that vote?

Again we have to ask the indul-
gence of our exchanges, and few of
our subscribers, for having to send
them half sheets. On Friday we
printed the outside of the paper, and
had large number Of extras printed,
but new subscribers come in by the
score. On Saturday we received ten
new subscribers from Pee Pee, Pike
county, ten from Macarthur, twenty
from Zaleski, Vinton county, sixteen
from Oak Hill, besides a number of
single subscribers. We now send 33
copies to Macarthur, and the gentle
man who sent us the last lot writes
that the Standard is very popular in
Vinton county. We have card
from A. w. Long that he and John
Matthews have nine subscribers at
Wilkesville, and will get more.

Next came the report Of the COM
mittee on resolutions. It endorsed
the State platform. Nothing more.
A committee of one from each town.
ship was appointed as advisory COM
mittee, to act in concert with the cen
tral committee.
Mr. Moore called for the candidates
to come forward and say whether they
would accept the nomination or not.
Mr. DUNCAN was named, and he was
again conveniently on hand, and spoke
about starvation once more, bayonets
at the polls, SC. He accepted the
nomination.
Morg. Watts again took the floor,
and pledged Mr. Aten's support of the
ticket, although Mr.. Aten was present.
James Herbert, w. D. Davis and
James Meacham were severally called,
but none of them responded. Mr..
Stewart, candidate for Surveyor, said
he could not serve, as he was a school
teacher, and it would interfere with
his profession. Morg. Watts made
another speech, and nominated Parker
Smith, Smith declined. Some one
nominated Thomas O. Davis. Porter
DuHadway said they were now mar
ried, and perhaps they had better wait,
and see their better half. Morg. Watts
made another speech, and then moved
to adjourn. Just then Meacham and
Davis came in, and pledged themselves
to support the ticket, when the con-
vention adjourned.
