There recently appeared in the columns

display advertisement of a certain actor and

ment was accompanied by fulsome puts of

SEYMOUR AS A EIGURE-HEAD.

Curious State,,aesa from ga WelI-K,,o,u,a
..-.- Politicians"
Washington Special.
One of the most curious statements yet
advanced why the Seymour boom should be
encouraged by Democrats and that Seymour
should be the Democratic nominee, was
made by New York politician in this city.
Said he: "The ticket must be Seymour and
Hendricks. Seymour can sit in his home in
Utica and without an effort on his part can
carry New York. What the Democracy
need is the use of his name.
1t he will 60 at the
head of the ticket solely as figure head, the
ticket of Seymour ana Hendricks can be
elected. Hendricks can carry Indiana. Such
ticket would keep the South from break
ing up, because with the solid vote of the
South there is no doubt of ite election. The
objection is urged that Seymour is too old.
Well, he is not too old to be voted for. Tho
plan will be, in my judgment, that Sey-
mour will consent to act as figure
head, and that, if he is elected,
he will resign the Office and Hen
bricks will become the President. With
such an understanding as this Hendricks
will run second. People may laugh at this
proposition now, but the Democracy have
either got to come to it or accept Grant"
The same authority says that Seymour and
Hendricks are very warm friends; that the
former has always been warm admirer of
Hendricks, and will go into such scheme
to try and save the Democratic ticket, if his
friend Hendricks is the beneficiary.

SOME OF our Democratic exchanges ere
discussing the best means by which the party
can make political capital at the approach
ing session of Congress. We can give all
the necessary advice in a very few words -
advice which, if followed, will add tens OF
thousands Of votes to the Democratic ticket
next year. Let Congress meet, consider and
pass the necessary appropriation bills in as
short space of time as possible, and then
adjourn. If the attempt to make capital il
made, it will result most disastrously.

Firemen's Insurance.

A meeting was held at Hook and Ladder
parlors, last evenin :, which was attended by
members of the "Firemen's Life associa-
ton" of this State and number of ex-fre-
men. The object of the meeting was to in
crease the membership Of the association. A
report was read from the secretary of the
association, w. II. Bracket, showing it to
be in g dourishing condition. Chief Strong
stated that all exempt, active, and honorably
discharged fremen we're eligible to member
ship, and advised all who were not members
to lose no time IN sending in their names.
The association now has membership of
416, and $G1263 in the treasury, and as
none of the officers are paid salaries the
claim is made that it is the best insurance
plan now in operation.

Grear we're arrested by Officer Casey yester-
day afternoon on complaint of having as
saulted Frank Hornung, an account of which
appeared in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE.
After the case had been partially tried and
testimony had been adduced acquitting
Watts and Murphy, the defendant Grear
took the stand aud made clean breast of
the transaction.
The defendant explained that he and Gun
ningham, with two unknown persons had
visited Hornung's brewery about 2 o'clock
yesterday morning for the purpose of lubri-
eating with lager. Hornung was aroused,
and on putting his head from the window
the defendant requested him to come down
stairs and give the party beer. In response
to this it is alleged that Hornung refused
the request and in SO doing hurled stick of
fire wood at the party, whereupon Grear
hurled stone at Hornung, makinga painful
cut in the left temple. Watts and Murphy
were acquitted and Grear and Cunningham
paid total of 1927 and were discharged.

Judge Virgin has concluded to dis

New York "Tribune," referring to the
matter, says: 1.-THE petition for man
damus In the election case in Maine has
been denied. The Democrats will claim
this IS victory it is undoubtedly a
respite. The claim Of the counsel for
the Secretary Of State was that the
returns we're In his possession only 40
the representative Of the Governor and
Council, that he had no right even to
break the seals before transmitting
them to the Governor md Council, and
that therefore mandamus could
not properly exhibit them to the petit.

an insre c,ion Of them. This is mere
outline of the Democratic argu-
nent upon which Judge Virgin has de-
cid.d TO deny the petition. But the
Democrats might win every technical
point Of this sort In the courts, and
still stand in no better light before the
people. The fact remains unchanged,
and will remsin unchanged, that the
Democratic State officers are concealiDg
these returns from the public eye, and
propose TO issue certificates OF election
as members Of the Legislature to men
who were not chosen. The mere CON
cea'ment OF the returns Is enough TO
arouse suspicious of the worst treach'
ery and wickedness Justification OF the
