We will concede that Mr.. Sheppard
a out talk Mr.. Edison on the stump,
but of what benefit would that be to
the farmers, laboringmen and me-
chanics of Preble county in the Leg
islature of Ohio? Not a whit. The
talking interests" of this county is
not one Of the vital questions the
people are interested about, but it is
short sessions, a reduction of our
public expenditures, the adjustment
Of the degrading convict system, the
freeing of our punitive institutions
from party management and a step
toward civil reform, whereby offices
shall be held to be "public trusts and
not spoils to be enjoyed as the re.
ward of partisan zeal OF service"
Mr.. Edison is in favor of all these
reforms, and if elected will work for
them and not waste his time and the
peoples money in talk and rhetoric

SPRINGFIELD, ONO,
Sept. IL, 1881.
Editor Catholic Telegraph:
I see that some of the papers are
trying to %injure Mr.. John Bookwal-
ter, of this city, by representing that
he is an enemy of the Irish people.
| know that this is just the other ex-
IRENE from the truth and 1 think it
only right I should make the follow
ing statements:
February, 1880, when Charles
Stewart Parnell, the well-known Irish
agitator, visited this country, he
stopped a day (about February 2O)
in this city, and funds were raised
for the distressed people Of the old
country. About a week after Par
nelfs visit here, John w. Bookwal-
ter wrote me from New York City
that funds were being raised there
for the Irish people, and that be had
contributed a small sum of money,
but that Springfield being his home,
he would rather give to the cause
here. He sent me q check for 800,
saying that he had perfect confidence
in my integrity and judgment, and
that he wanted me to dispose of it
just as I thought best.
In this letter, and a good one it
was, too, he expressed the greatest
sympathy for the distressed poor of
Ireland, and both regretted and re-
sented their oppression. Among
other kind things, Lee said that the
happiest hours of his life had been
and spent among the beautiful green
hills Of Ireland. His letter would
have won the heart of any Irishman,
and make him feel that Mr.. Book.
walter was the friend o fhis race.
There being no committee here to
dispose of such funds, l showed the
letter to a number of Irishmen. AS
most of the contributions from this
country were being SEM to Catholic
Ireland, and as this came from a
Protestant, / thought it only just
and right to send the 500 to Pro-
testant Ireland. The money was
sent direct to the Bishop Of Gala
way, Province of Connaught, and its
receipt was acknowledged.
Yours respectfully,
Timothy HENNEssY.
We, the undersigned, al read the
letter spoken of above by MI. Heu-
messy, and heartily endorse all that
