CLEVELAND, May lO.-Judhe HOadly,
was interviewed on his candidacy for
GOveTnOrship, and on his reported cOmbi-
nation with PendletOn, the Judge talked
freely. Among other things, he said: II
am by no means in league with MIR.
PendletOn, as has been reported. Gen.
Durbin Ward and | occupy the same
position, in that we will not work for
PendletOn or against him. 1t is the
only position that men of honor can
hold. Gen. Ward and l are candidates
for the nomination of the Democratic
party for GOVernOrship, ana for no other
position. The man ,WhO accepts that
great trust would be unworthy of it
should he use the confidence OF the party
To obtain Senatorial office or TO interfere
with the free judgment of the party up
on that question. Mr.. PendletOn has
been my personal friend for more than
thirty years. Every other gentleman
Hamed in this CONNECTION is my friend.
L shall not under any circumstances
whatever, be a candidate for Senator,
nor take part, directly or indirectly, i'll
assisting or Obstrueting the election OF
any other man. The Democratic party
are entitled To have free choice of SEN

My hope Is that we shall succeed i'll

sure IL will elect Democratic Senator,
and shall be satisfied, whoever he may
be. Let us catch the hare and then cook
it,
Judge HOadly spoke glOwingly Of the
bright future before the Democracy. OF
his own canvass he said but little, ex-
cept that 1t is progressing well, aud that
the outlook is favorable. He expressed
himself as being we'll satisfied with the
condition of things i'll CuyahOga county,
aud of his chances for securing the
delegation.

And Its Rep. Organ Their Policeman Spy
Was He Counted in by Fraud?
The tail of the dead snake continues
TO wriggle and writhe for hOurs-per-
haps till the sun goes down.
So the political mOuntebank, known as
William Mckinley jr., continues to play
his closing part, even to manipulating
with the aid of his attorneys In Eagle
block to get his policeman spy count
ed in.
Now, we care nothing about Baugh
man as policeman; but we do care about

pay from the city and serving Mckinley
at the same time, i'm the diabOlical
scheme TO prevent Jonathan III. Wallace
from getting his seat in Congress, to
which he was fairly elected by the
people.
This is not an election campaign, it is
a campaign on the part of VIM. Mckinley
jr. & Co., to bolster up fraud and keep
out MIR. Wallace and give Mckinley a
seat in Congress to which he was not
elected. 1t is only another incident in
the history of the Star Route party,
whose perjured knaves Of the Electoral
Commission, by 8 to- z, counted in Hayes
and Wheeler as President and Vice Prasi.

excepting IngersOll. With them the end
justifies the means, and the Hubbell

bribe spies and fee attorneys. 1t will
be remembered Mckinley is a member
of the infamous Hubbell Committed
While on this subject it may be proper
to enquire: Was Baughman elected? ?
Seven members of Council, ali honorable
men, assure us they, at no. time voted for
Baughman. This being half of IA would
leave seven for Baughman, and Mr..
Wyant, devoted McKi2leyite, read
eight out of the fourteen for Baughman.
The tickets would tell if they could be
had, but itseems they were Immediately
disposed of. 1t seems too, no one was
looking over Mr.. Wyant OF examined the
tickets after him to correct errors if any
were made, and Mr.. Wyant would take
care not to err on the wrong side. 1t is
proper to say, members of Council took
no thought of some of these things till
after. 1t is certain that Mckinley and
his Eagle Block attorneys took great in

THE DEBTS HE LEFT

NEW YORK, May 10.-The investiga-
tion OF the accounts of Ed. Merton, until
lately a partner of the famous John
POndir in one of the heaviest stock brOk-
ing firms in Wall street, seems to make
a bad showing for the young man, who

the far west beyond reach of telegrapic
communication. His liabilities are
stated at $I75, 600. of which about $125,-
600 is due in stock exchange. His seat
has been sold aud realized $28, COO, " which
will pay his creditors in the exchange
about - cents on the dollar. IL Is said
that he had been speculating on his own
account on orders given TO the frm of
POndir q Co., and that he was able to
make large transactions with other
brokers because they believed when he
gave them orders he was acting for the
firm and not for himself individually.

\ WRITER in the ouitman Ark. L;ght says: " Promiscuous sitting in church is practice ,ha, should be con- demned by all who go to the house of God to worship. Worship ought to be he purpose of every one who goes but, alas, il is not so. There are no reasons 10 justify young, unmarried people. for sitting in the same pew in the house of God. The rules of etiquette do not de- mand it; but rather the contrary. The influence of this practice operates against the worshiping." The gentleman is no doub, pious man and evidently intends 10 worship with all the ardor of sincerity, but he would turn the alleged house of the Lord into a place of uncomfortable restriction. As rule, in the country, when young man accompanies young lady to church, he conducts her 10 the door where he leaves her to find a seat, if she can, and goes out under the trees, where he spreads out blanket. and lolls around, talking about horses, until mee,in' breaks" when he goes to the door and meets the young lady as she comes out. If the young man were allowed to sit in church with the young lady, he would not desert her at the door If it is wrong for unmarried people to si, together, 1t is wrong for them to come together. It is wrong for them to live in the same neighborhood, and com mittee of men, with the Quitman gentle man, as chairman, should be appointed to keep the young people apart. 1, would be a good idea to have two churches, one for the men and the othe. fer the women. These churches could be built with narrow space dividing them, and the minister could march along and preach in at the windows.
