NAH. Let the people now retire him to the

Republican, is out for Gen. Hancock. He says
II have known him for a life time, having
been with him as young man in the Sixth
United States infantry, and from his boyhood

more pure than Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock"
Senator Farley, California: 1.-THE Republi-
cans are about to meet their Waterloo. My
| advices indicate that the Democrats will carry
California through the disintegration of the
| Workingmen's party. Garfeld's record on the

and the Burlingame treaty was of Republican
| paternity"
I have always been aRepublican, and "neYer
split my ticket" but in this coming Presiden-
tial contest intend to vote and aid others to
do SO for Gen. Hancock. Several reasons
could give for doing SO, but only one is neces-
sary. His character is unblemished, and no
faint of corruption hangs about him. Respect
fully yours, HENRY A. McALIsTER.

A correspondent writing from Standish

is q veteran Of 80 years, the Oldest citizen we
have in Standish and man who has
always heretofore opposed the Democratic
Iarty. We have on our list the names of six
other working members who have been Repub-
icans up to this time. We are all enthusiastic
for Hancock and English, in some respects the
best ticket the party has presented since the
| days of jackson.
The Merchants National Wants the Money.
A somewhat interesting investigation is in
progress before 81. E. Mann, Esq, as ref
cree. It will be remembered that the firm
of McCaine Bros. & Bartean, who were
largely engaged in the lumber business at
Hinckley, failed on the 18th day of Septem-
Der, 1879. The sheriff of Pine county
seized upon their property to satisfy the
claims of a number of creditors of the firm.
Among other property taken was 100000
feet of logs, upon which the Merchants
National bank, of this city, held chattel
mortgage. The bank demanded possession
of the logs, and the sheriff refused to deliver
them up. The bank then brought suit
against the sheriff in the United States
circuit court, and in May last OBJ.
tanned judgment against the sheriff
for So, 11733, the Judgment running
against the sheriff individually, and not as the
sheriff of Pine county. Pending the suit
and after the commencement of the action,
the judgment creditors and lien holders
agreed that tho sheriff should sell the logs
and hold the proceeds as security against
any judgment which might be obtained
against him. The logs were sold, and these
supplementary proceedings are commenced
on the part of the bank to compel payment
of its Judgment out of the proceeds of the
logs. The matter was referred by Judge
Nelson to II. E. Mann, to take testimony and
report to the court. The proceedings were
commenced yesterday, and the testi-
mony of James Mclaughlin, the sheriff of
Pine county, was taken, when the further
hearing was adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
day. Messrs. Geo. l.. and G. E. Otis ap-
pear for the bank and w. H. Grant and VIM.
Barrett for the sheriff.
