New LEXINGTON, o., Aug. A.. '79.
The New Lexington Tribune men are
busy looking up Karr's interest. They
are making their Republican friends be-
lieve that they are doing il because il he
is nominated they can defeat him. It 10
believed by many that IL he should re-
csive the Democratic nomination on the 90,
that the Republican ring will either IA
vor his endorsement by thei, convention
or nominate some man who for consid-
GRAFTON will withdraw in Karr's favor
The Republican ring are instructing the
Republicans to use whatever influence they
have with Democrats 70 influence Karr's
nomination, telling them that it will not
only give them the Treasurer but also cause
so much dissatisfaction among the Demo-
Gratis thst they will in all probability
elect their Representative. A prominent
Republican Of Jackson township told few
days ago to one of our leading Democrats
that the Tribune crowd were working for
Karr's nomination and that they were we'll
awarded for it. That they were posted on
every move the Democracy made.
As far as am concerned all I want is
a ticket composed Of good men and the
success of the Democratic ticket, and we
will not have either as long as We allow
Republicans to dictate who shall be our
nominees B

Grand Jury room. The next day Richardson
came to his place on Wabash avenue, about S
O'Clock ia the afternoon, and asked to see him
arlson asked him if he cared about getting
Crafts INFLICTED. Baum told him the
present Grand Jury had not returned IN indict-
ment, and the case would probably be brought
up before the next Que. Richardson said the
case was not disposed o. "We just postponed
it, it can be fixed SO that you can get an indict

Clinging dresses are going slowly but surely
out Of fashion; tied-bacS dresses have entirely
become things Of the past. They have recently
earned bad name from the fact that inyestiea-
iion has proved that many Of the women
drowned at the wreck OF the Princess Alice owed
their utter inability to help themselves, or to
sustain themselves when help was given them,
to the fact Of their being incumbcrcd with the
tlght-clinging skirts, which held them down.
