The Greenback meeting, called by
County Committee, held at Town Hall
Kent, O., Tuesday, Feb. 10, by an over
whelming vote passed resolutions sup
porting the Washington Conference
and its actions. Among the reasons
for this course are: The regular con-
stituted Committee is with the Wash
ington Conference, and this Conference
was open and liberal to all. Mr.. Hugo
Preyor agreed to attend, afterwards
backed out. And said Conference
commands the respect and support of
the most intellectual and representa-
tive men, as well as the large majority
of the rank and file of the Greenback
party, and over 200 of the Greenback
press, all save 5 or 10, and above all,
is endorsed by the Greenback Con-
gressmen. And further, the st. Louis
call is informal and not binding. The
meeting resolved. The Greenbackers
of Portage County desire the postpone
ment of the st. Louis wing, to meet
with the regular Conveation at Chi
cago June 9th, in one party.
After adjournment, Mr.. Francis
Barry, icing dissatisfied, held an in
formal meeting with his friends, and
agreed to 60 to st. Louis and represent
that faction, if his expenses were
borne. M

On Wednesday evening of last week
Mr.. William Ruffie, of the City Bak-
cry, went up to witness the roller
skating in the Opera House, and while
there was induced to try his skill. He
had not been long on the rollers when
the treacherous things went from un-
der him and he fell alighting upon his
hand fracturing the metacarpal above
the third finger and dislocating one
or two finger joints

A Cleveland special of the 18th inst.
to the Enquirer, says: "This morn
ing gWilliamD. Lefingwell was brought
into Justice Peck's Court on warrant
charging him with bastardy. The
complaining witness is a woman who
has obtained little notoriety. She is
Naomi j. Bently, and some two years
ago was housekeeper for Theodore
Stafford, who is highly respectable,
church-going citizen, living on Wood
land Hills avenue. During her stay
in Stafford's house she obtained q di-
yorce from her husband, and shortly
afterward brought sult against Stat
ford for breach of promise of marriage.
This suit was kept as quiet as possible,
owing to the fact that nothing like
criminal intercourse was charged and
the standing in society which Stat
ford enjoyed. Naomi obtained judg-
ment in her suit against Stafford for
81, 500, which the Court cut down to
$1,000. Leffingwell made it all right
by marrying the woman at noon to-
day." --r..-.

The country press have hard time
of it. They suffer more from sense
less legislation than any other branch
of business extant. The proposition
of Representative Allen as embodied
in his proposed bill toestablish the
rate for legal advertising lacks every
essential of fairness. A time when
everything that enters into the make
up Of a paper has advanced 40 per
cent. is not the proper date to reduce
by the severe cut of 40 per cent. the
rate of legal advertising. If q cut
must be made TO give reputation to
reformers there should be reason and
sense in the measure. No busidess
man will say or claim that arbitrary
reductions of 40per cent. are not hard
ships to any business, The bill should
be amended very decidedly.-l Marion
