An old acquaintance.

Many citizens remember to their sorrow a
fine appearing man, venerable and sleek as a
deacon, as persuasive as sewing machine
agent, and as profuse and lavish lin promises)
as a millionaire. His name was c. Gilbert,
and he was book agent while here, but the
hotels advertised him as D. E. of the worst
kind. The Windsor, the Belleview and other
hotels dearly remember him, as do also many
business men. But E. B. Jrdan has a
history: At one time he was one
of Boston's prominent men, and when
he first came West he held respon-
slble positions with the Remington
and Springfield armories, and while in this
city he was considered quite an acquisition
till his landlords came down on him. He
has now again come to notice after long
obscurity, and many of his old friends here
will not be sorry to learn that at last he
has fallen into the hands of the law. He
has been arrested at Rochester for forgery,
| where he was lately employed peddling trees
| and plants for the Rochester nursery. The
| forgery was committed on E. B. Jadan, pro-
| prletor of the nursery.

The Secretary's Object IN Coming Home
Ex-senator Matthew's VietUs on the Sab
ject.
Columbus Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
Hon. Stanley Matthews passed through
the city to-day, on the way home from
Washington, where he had been for few
days engaged in arguing case before the
supreme court. He stopped but few
minutes here, but still his brief stay gave an
opportunity for an Enquirer representative
to get one or two nuggets of political infor-
nation from him.
'The Republicans in Congress" said Mr..
Matthews, '.are in good spirits at the turn
of affairs. They are, in fact in command
of the situation, and the Democrats can do
nothing but ring the backing bells. They
can not hold the ground. The pressure will
be too strong for them to resist
''What about Sherman, Senator? see
he is announced to come out here.'
''Secretary Sherman was il New York
yesterday, and did not get to see him be-
fore starting away; but we will see him out
here next week. He starts West tomorrow,
and will be at Mansfield the day AFTER
''WilI he consent to be candidate for
Governor
lam not authorized to speak for him,
but am willing to say this about him:
Secretary Sherman has accomplished the
great mission for which he was called to the
cabinet, in bringing about specie payments
without damaging the industrial interests of
the country. He has gone further and refund
ed all the national debt subject to call under
the present administration. He comes home
g.
it even, but instead to look over the field
and to ascertain what the party here in his
own State demands to secure success
"Does that mean whether or not they
want to give him a nomination for Gov
ernor?''
"No, not that; but if they think their success
as standard bearer, believe he will con
sent. He is not seeking nomination, as
said before; indeed, L don't know that he i:
consentipg to it, in the ordinary sense that
man g consent to stand for an Office is re
garded, but think it is safe to say that i
they make it appear as his duty he will no
refuse to be candidate for Governor
''Then, Senator, if that is understood
there is little doubt of his receiving the nom
ination?''
''Yes, believe if it is known that he viii
accept he will get it practically without op
position. Sherman is very able man, an,
Ohio, his native State, will be glad of al
opportunity to do him the highest honor"
Sherman's visit to Ohio will be short, per
haps week. certainly not more than te
days. He will spend Sunday at home a
Mansfield. After that he is to go to Cleve
land for day or two, then come down her
to Columbus: After that go to Cincinnati
and probably from there to Dayton and TIC
ledo. Here, at Columbus, the Republican
in the legislature are expecting to pay dis
tinguished honors to him, and will probabl
give him a banquet or something of thu
sort. All of them agree that he is the ma

Let the FARMERS Combine.
Martin County Sentinel.

It seems that the brass kettle is admitted
by the buyers themselves to BE- an instru-
ment of crookedness when peculiarly manip-
ulated. This being the case, the farmers are
justified in demanding its adjustment. The
Stacy filler seems to meet the requirement,
and if the buyers won't adopt it or some
thing equally honest, the farmers better
combine, as they did against the railroads:
or, better still, form clubs and ship their
wheat themselves. IT the buyers have be-
come an evil, and are trying to Cypress, they
must=be either forced by law to be honest OF
ignored entirely, and we are inclined to be-
lieve the latter, when possible, is the better
way to treat them.
