CLEVELAND, O., April 2S.-rhe Clevelands
played another game to-day against the White
Sewing Machine nine, the latter being
strengthened with Nolan and Kennedy of the
regulars. The League team had everything
their own way, and badly punished Nolan
in the fore part of the game, but after the
third inning lie did much better. and allowed
the League team to get but two runs. The
felding Of the Whites was poor. Fourteen
errors were made. Their batting was also
weak. They lost one run BY a bad decision
Of the umpire, and another By poor base-rur,,
ming. The game was devoid OF any spec,a!
League team. The total score stood II to 0
in favor Of the Cleyelauds.

advocating the same cause are about
evenly divided as to the best laeans
of advancing it, how unjust in eth
err faction to cruelty those laboring
in IN entirely different field for not
taking one side nor the other. While
Mr.. Kanouse, the official head of the
Good Templars of Wisconsin, is an
ardent supporter of prohibition, Mr..
Watrous, official head of the Temple
of Honor of the state, is opposed to
prohibition. Both of these men and
the organizations they represent are
laboring to suppress the evils of in
temperance, but they differ as to the
best means Of accomplishing the
mutually desired object. The Temple
of Honor members may not all agree
with their chief; neither do all Good
Templars coincide with the views of
Kanousc. The republican party
should not be required to sustain
either, and as a party does not.
Both of the gentlemen named
have hitherto been republicans. The
one this fall will vote and labor to
elect the republican nominees, the
other viii do all in his power to
defeat them and elect democrats.
Which Of these two is doing best
for temperance.

Or our lamented President, the
Albany Ecening Journal happily
says:
"Being dead, General Garfield in
an important sense yet speaks, yet
acts, yet moves among his country
men. His soul goes marching On,
a power for good in the future of
American politics whose extent it
would be impossible to overestimate.
Like the rest of the company of
great souls, this hero-martyr never
attained to the towering hight of his
ideals. And had his life been spar
ed there would doubtless have been
some flaws and failures in the subse-
quent chapters of his life; for he
was human, and to err is one Of the
conditions of humanity. But now
his entire career, both the things
which he accomplished and the
things he was cut off from accom-
plishing, appear without "spot or
blemish" in the fond eyes that
mourn for him. His idealized pa
tliotism, craftsmanship and philan-
thropy will go to make up the model
by which we will measure the men
who survive him, and to which we
will point young America who is
fired with the honorable ambition to
give his life to the service of the
country.

VIM. G. MeHert.

Republicans of the 2Sth Senate
district, we have as our candidate,
the gentleman named above. From
early childhood he has been a resi-
dent of Iowa county. BY his own
efforts and enterprise he has won an
honorable place as business man,
and one of our most estimable
citizens. At the outbreak of the
rebellion he enlisted in the 3D. Wis
consin infantry, as y private, and
served his country CALAMITY from
that time until the last gun of the
war had ceased to echo, and the last
rebel had surrendered. Mr.. Meffert
participated in more than score
engagements during his service, III
Guiding the battle of Gettysburg
and others with the army of the Po-
tomac, besides those around Chatta-
nooga and Atlanta, and in the ia
nous "march to the sea" under Sher-
man. Since returning from the
South he has resided mainly at
Arena, and succeeded well as a
harness manufacturer, leather dealer,
&c. lie has always been an active
working Republican, taking a lively
interest in all public affairs, and
ever ready to give literally of his
time and means to the success Of
any cause in which he enlisted. But
once before has his name been con-
nected with public Office, which was
several years ago, when he was the
Republican nominee for Sheriff of
this county, but was defeated with a
majority Of his ticket. He has the
intelligence, integrity, and patriot
ism to make a Senator honorable to
the district and valuable to the state.
Although Mr.. Mefiert was nominated
practically by the Richland county
delegation, the people of Iowa ooun-
ty need have no apprehensions that
he will neglect their interests or
disregard their wishes when elected.
On the subject of redistricting he is
understood to be unpledged except
to do his duty as representative of
the entire district.

REsk and the Temperance Men

RGSk and the Temperance Men
To injure Gen. Rusk among tenn
perance men it was charged that
be was under n pledge to veto any
temperance legislation if elected
Governor which in u letter he de-
nied emphatically. But that his po-
siiion on tho question of prohibition
mi ght be fully understood, he ad-
dressed to the chairman OF the re-
publican state central committee
another letter, the substance of
which was that, although under no
pledge as to what he would or would
not DO as Governor, if elected, his
personal Judgment is that prohibit
ton is impracticaole in this state !;
that if framed into law it would be
but an addition to the already too
numerous dead letter pages of our
statute books. This frank state
ment of his views, which are in per-
feet accord with those Of a large
part of the most earnest temperance
men Of the state, is seized upon by
supporters of the temperance ticket
and paraded as evidence that Rusk
is in league with the liquor interest,
and, therefore, temperance men
should oppose him. They fail to
tell, however, that before they knew
Rusk's views on the subject, and
without enquiring rs to them, the
convention 10 nominate candidate
in opposition to him was called and
about ready to assemble.
