The Cleveland Leaders reporter on
Saturday afternoon sailed out to take
the senses of the people of the Forest
City on the Presidential question.
Nearly hundred gentlemen were in
terrogated, of whom seventy-two were
outspoken as to some individual
choice. Of these "a were for Grant !;

Of course Garfield and his friends
will meyer consent to allow his name

The New York Evening Post an
nounces very positively that Gov.
Seymour does not want the Demo
cratic nomination, and, SO far as he is

busily at work circulating petitions

ers had several thousand majority OF
the popular vote of the State, and it is
not perfectly evident that the Cover
nor and Council should set at defiance
the plain letter and spirit of the Con-
stitution and law in order to count in
the party having the minority of votes
But the Radical leaders seem 10 think
that it is treason to have a majority
against that party and a high crime to
SO construe the law as to keep them
from place and power.
The motions for new trials of Mann
and Ohr, convicted of murder in the
first degree for the killing of What's
mouth at Alliance last Summer, was
overruled by Judge Meyer in the
Common Pleas Court at Canton on

tried separately. The principal ground
of the motion in the case against Mann
was that one of the jurors was intoxi-
Gated during the trial and in that

expressed an opinion regarding the
guilt of the defendant before the trial,
After disposing of the motions Judge
Meyer sentenced the defendants to be
executed on Friday, May 7th, 1880 be-
