UPDEGRAFF,s FUNERAL.
The Public Sorrow-OhieiaI Prepara-
~ tions for the Obsequies.

tions for the Obsequies.
SyzrBESyIILE, o., Desember L. The
dealt of Congressman Updegraf causes
profound regret, and the people Of both
parties lament his loss. Even his bitterest
enemies acknowledge that in his death che
district loses an able representative and
faithful worker.
But while the people are regretting the
sad affair the politicians are waiting and
watching for the good they hope this i'll
wind may blow them. A prominent poll
tieiar here said to-day that If Colonel J.
D. Taylor, Of Guernsey county, would con.
sent to agsiH become candidate, he would
no doubt be elected, as Taylor's vote in
Jefferson county was large in eompar
with any Of the other candidates who were
defeated. II is not probable that any other
candidate viii be brought forward from
tkiscsunty, and therefore the mass OF the
yetefs smsnldl be satisfied with Colonel
Taylor.
A prominent Democrat, wins thinks all
things possible in politics, said he would
notbe surprised to- see a good Democrat
elected to Mr.. Updegrafrs seat.

legal proceedings against various firms in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis,
Cincinnati and other cities which have
been for some time past using his brand,
"McBrayer," on al sort of compounded
whiskies and representing them to the trade
as genuine Anderson county, Kentucky,
whisky. These suits, if not compromised,
will involve a number of very extensive
firms, and bring forth revelations of start
ling character to the compounders and con-
sumdrs .of whiskies. The report comes
from private parties in Cincinnati, and the
proceedings in the courts will likely be
first instituted in that city.
