What Does 1t Mean P'

We do not know, and We do not
see how the Uatchmdn fell into the
error Of announcing Saturday neIt, the
9th inst, as the regular day for hold
ing the Democratic delegate elections,
unless the writer did not read "the
rules of the party governing these
elections" and is not familiar with
them," Notwithstanding the fact that
they have been published every year" :"
The rule fixing the time and place for
electing delegates, taken from the call
published in the Wdtchman last year,
reads as follows:
Ist. The election for delegates 10 repre-
sent the different districts IN the annual
Democratic county convention, shall be
held at ihe usual place of holding the
general elections for each district, on the
Saturday preceding the third Tuesday in
September in each and every year, begin
ming at two O'Clock p. m, on said day, con-
tinuing until six o'clock p. m.
This year the third Tuesday Of Sep
temJer comes on the 10Th, and there
can be no doubt that the Watchmon
fixes the time just one week too early.
The Chairman of the County Commit
tee, Mr.. Fortney, undoubtedly states
the proper time in his call for the con-
vention, which appeared in the DEMO
cgAT last week. Had our neighbor
carefully read this call, with the rules
accompanying it, copied from its own
columns of a year ago, and then evinc.
ed even the slightest intention to treat
Mr.. Fortney with that commendable
trait in department expressed by the
word courtesy" the blunder Of
"What Does it Mean p would, in all
probability, have been avoided.

questing him 10 investigate the matter.
The judge made inquiries among law
ycrs familiar with legal affairs and
legal fees in New Orleans, and ascer-
tanned that the fee charged was rea-
sonablc enough. He SO reported to
John Sherman, who then directed him
to send the 81 900 to New Orleans.
In order to have distinct under
standing in regard to the payment,
Shcllabarger then sent the following
telegram to Cullom, the leading attor-
ncy who had defended the returning
board:
WAsnrsGTos, ID. c., Aug. -, 1879.
T.. North Caiiom, Neio Orleans, Ia, Err
change AHcy, mar Custom House Street :

II you send me two hundred and Nity
dollars more, making n total Of 81 $50, and

h. NORTH CuLLoM
Immediately upon receipt of Gull
Ions reply, Shcllabarger saw Sherman
again and got $3.50 additional and
sent it to Badger, the collector Of Gus
toms, along with the $1,000 Hayes
had contributed the day before. Thi.
made total of 81 ,7jO paid on the
account. A. $500 had been sent to
Badger for payment to Cullom few
days before.
Thus the disgraceful fact appears
that Mr.. Hayes contributed his part
of the money to defend the infamou.
scoundrcls of the returning board, not
because Of any respect for the rascal.
but because silence must be had at
any cost, even at the cost Of identify.
ing himself directly with the frauds OF
that infamous transaction which de.
priyci the people of their lawfully
elected President. That the mean
soul, after a night sleep should like
to have the money back, even by a
lie, in pretending collusion, IS not re.
markable, but the shrcwdnc>s OF hi-
attorney and Sherman did not permit
him further to beard the lion, aud risk
the claws having the power to grind
the fraudulent administration to pow.

Mrs. Sprague's Escape.
FLYING rRoN HER HUSBANDS uousE.

FLYING IHON HER HUSBAND HOUSE.
Providence, X. l., August 81.
There is considerable excitement at
Narragansett Pier over the escape from
Canonche, Of Mr.. SprAgue last night.
Mrs. SpTague claims that ever since
she returned to CanonChet with her
children she has been subjected TO
many annnyanccs by the Governor,
which eliminated on Saturday in an ac-
tual outburst on his part. Her friends
say that the Governor. coming home on
Friday morning IN an intoxicated con.
dition. suddenly went into the room
where the nurses were dressing the chill.
drcn and seeing Mrs. Spregue there
said "I'll show you who Is master
here and without any further words
took hold Of her arm aud shoulder,
dragged her around the room and at,
tempted TO throw her out OF the win.
dow, saying before witnesses that he
would do 80. He was prevented from
carrying his threat into execution by
those present. Mrs. Sprague began
quickly TO make preparations In leave
the place, and on Saturday afternoon
.aboG half past Eve quickly took her
sYeparture, accompanied by her three
children, their nurses and her luggage.
so we'll were her plans arranged that
the Governor and his nephew. Arthur
Watson, who were keeping a vigllant
watch upon her movements, knew moth.
ing about her departure until the party
had a good hours start and were many
miles away. Mr. Watson, upon finding
them gone, Immediately started down
town with the colored cook and drove
to the depot and hotels in hopes of find.
ing some clue TO their whereabouts.
Finding none he turned back. and
when half way between the depot and
the old pier met the Governor, who in
hot haste changed places with the cook
and started at a break neck speed for
Kingston Junction, about eight miles
away.
II is thought that Mrs. Sprsguc escap.
ed in a steam yacht, and that, too, from
the pier Of the Newport boat. A strange
looking and very fast steam yacht was
seen lowering about the pier ell the
afternoon and suddenly went up to the
Newport boat dock and after waiting
about ten minutes there steamed rapid.
ly away, perhaps with Mrs. Sprsgue on
board. Mrs. Sprague's friends say that
she was in constant fear of some sudden
outbreak, when neither her own life
nor the lives of her children would be
safe from the ungovernable anger Of
the husband and father. The children
are four in Willie, aged l3 /;
Ethel. aged O; Kate, aged 5, and Por.
ito, aged 4. Willie remains with his
father. The three little girls Mrs.
Sprague took with her. Gov. Sprague
will undoubtedly exhaust every means
to discover the whereabouts Of the chill.
dren, and will as certainly use every
separation, brought by either husband
or wife, will probably be at once insti.
tuted to settle the right to the control
Of the children.

KEROSENE IN DIPHTHERIA.-
Two or three weeks ago a para
graph found its way into Inc
Union and Tribune recommend
ing kerosene as a gargle for the
cure of diphtheria. Since then
the followingparagraph has been
extensively published, theauthor
of which withholds his name:
Those sanguine people who
imagine they have found an
effective remedy in kerosene oil
for diphtheria are respectfully
invited to pause. An Illinois
physician says that kerosene oil
is an exceedingly harsh prescrip-
ton, and when taken internally
in cases Of genuine diphtherla
destroys what little chance the
patient has of recovery. His
theory is that diphtheria can
only be overcome by vitality and
that kerosene SO deranges the
stomach as to further impair its
already overtaxed energies to
supply necessary nourishment
and strength to the enfeebled
system. Another physician at
the east maintains that the dis
ease was never known until after
the oil wells in Pennsylvania
were discovered; that the cases
are more severe in houses where
kerosene is used, and in short
that kerosene may be the cause
of the disease
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1877-1885, 1879-03-13

Have you seen him He
stands in the room with his
back to the stove, and tells how
he could run a newspaper; how
he could be as independent as a
hog on ice, and call things by
their right names; how he would
expose corruption in high places;
how he would write good, com
mon sense, and none of your
frivolous, try-to-be-funny stuff.
Then ne criticises other peoples
methods Of conducting newspa-
pers, and just wishes some one
would give him a chance to show
his journalistic ability. The way
to cure one of these chaps Is to
get him to agree to write a SEN
sible article every day for a
week. Before the week is out
he is sure to be pumped dry, and
will gap worse for an idea than
a chicken ever did with the pip.
