Mace ON . Crank.
Last evening old John Snyder, a trouble
some resident Of the South end, by many
people repdted to be crazy, was drunk on
the wharf, and Officer Bird arrested him.
He wtnt without much difficulty until
passing the Peoples bank, on Twelfth
street, when he began TO fight. The officer
jerked him along, however, across Main
street, and then he began to fight worse,
and finally Bird was compelled to throw
him down, In doing 80. Snyder caught
off OF the back OF 1t badly. Bird used his
prisoner pretty severely, and finally got
him on his feet and started again, when
Snyder began to kick, giving his captor
several hard licks on the lshins, and one
sumner in the stomach. sg a. .i...l.. r..
A German reporter who happened to be
present undertook TO assist the officer,
but received kick which, discouraged
him, and be let 60. Finally Bird conclud.
ed thai forbearance had ceased to be vir.
tue, and used his club, striking Snyder
two not very gentle taps over the head,
which downed him, The nippers were
then applied and the man taken safely TO
the lookup. Here, however, another fight
ensued, and Snyder had to be bodily
thrown into cell. A search Of his person
revealed an ugly pair Of shears in his
pocket, which Snyder habitually carries
Tor attack and defence. 5sli-ils
The incident created some excitement on
the street, and some persons were disposed
to criticise the officers action. Itmnst be
remembered, however, that one victory by
aprisoner in resisting a policeman ia q
ruinous precedent, and IL the authority Of
the law Is to be respected It's officers must
be firm. .r,. .g5.l

The Democracy ro..ponemsnt OF IN,
49 Ohio Stnte Convention.


The Dem0eracy's rostponement or the
t9 'HOhio state Convention. j
CoLuMBus, O., June 1s-The laugh Is on
the Democracy now. They held back and
succeeded in postponing the argument in
the Scott Law case until after the holding
Of the Republican State Convention. When
the Republicans talked Of postponing the
State Convention until such time as de.
cision in the case might be reached,
every Democratic paper and every
Democratic politician most fearlesaly pro-
claimed against It They thought that
they had the Republicans in a hole, and
would keep them there. The Republicans
should not have the benefit OF the Suprems
Courts opinion as to the constitutionality
Of the Scott Law but they should 20 ahead
and hold their Convention, then argue the
Scott Law, have the decision OF the Court
afterward, and the Democratic brethren
would hold their Convention and take ad-
vantage OF the same, II any there should
be. The Republicans took their medicine
held their Convention, and then argued
the Scott Law case. Bit now there is
trouble in'store for the Democratic breth-
rem. Their State Convention will be here
on Wednesday and Thursday. On yestef-
day, the Supreme Court gave the Attorney
General until Tuesday next to file amend.
ed brief in the case, 80 no decision will be
reached on that day, the chances being
that decision will not be made until one
week from that day. This state Of affairs
has somewhat startled the Democratic
brethren, and now that they will be COM
PEELED to show their hand in the dark, just
the same as the Republicans, they are not
jubilant over the situation. s

Thursday, and declared that Bright's state.
ment that the Conservatives were in al.
lance with the Irish rebels in

work, was unfounded, and moved that
the utterances Of Bright be declared a
breach Of privilege. Bright, who was
much cheered on rising to respond, said
he had right to speak with great FREQ
dom. Constituency as q term, he said,
was capable Of meaning he did not In
tend, but II was one that first
occurred TO him. Perhaps he
ought 10 have been more careful.
Bright commented on the existence OF
societies in America which were disloyal 70
the British crown, and which were send
ing funds TO similar disloyal societies in
Great Britain. II, he aaid, the Irish mem

clared the portion objected 10
of Bright'sspeech at Birmingham was not
