tion- he GeE mnn Vote,

CLEVELAND, October 2-rhe Republican
mass meeting here last night was largely
attended. When Judge Foraker was in.
troduced he was again and again cheered.
The Judge pointed out how the Democratic
party acknowledged it's errors as soon as
it found them out, aud SO It was acknowl.
edged. Taking up the tariff question, he
answered the objection Of Senator Thur.
man at New Albany, that the tariff was a
tax upon the consumer, by showing that
protection induced to home competition,
instead oi bringing about monopoly, and
It was also true that while goods were
cheapeued, wages were increased by protec.
tion. The points made by Judge Foraker
on the Scott Law were well applauded, and
II was easy to see that that measure is pop.
ular in Cleveland.
As so much Is said about the detection ol
the German vote, tho following two strawt
are significant. A committee Of German
citizans waited upon the Judge to-day y,
his hotel, with letter informing him that
he had been awarded gold.headed cane
by popular vote at social oil the German
Protestant Church, the vote standing G$
for Foraker to 220 for Hoadly. The secont
straw Is, that at o ballot now being held q

meeting" yesterday, which was to be held
on the Fair grounds. The day was fine, but
about $50 Democrats came out so they
focked into the little Opera House; 200
Republicans came out, and oil nearly filled
the Opera House. The Senator occu-
pied the audience, and congratulated Har.
rison county for its great prosperity and
wealth, He referred to the Scott law as a
Republican law, and full Of objections, but
when the Democrats got the Legislature
they would trim 1t up, and clear it Of all Its
bad features. The tariff he referred TO very
mildly, and told what had been done by
the Republican party, but did not say what
the Democratic party had done, or would
do II they got into power. The Democrats
here are not elated over his speech, espe-
cially the farmers.

Further developments in the csse of
Fowler VS.. Thompson indicate that in 1880
Summers county developed neat little
Returning Board scheme. The testimony
before tie court, as we find it in the Hin
ION Republican, shows that It is unnecessa-
~ to 20 any further south for election
frauds. Wm. R. Thompson ran against a
Mr, Fowler for Prosecuting Attorney. Mr..
Thompson was declared elected by ma
jorty Of s. votes. MIR. Fowler contested
llOvOtes, claiming that seven voters were
Nsidents Of Raleigh county, eight under
twRnty.one, and ninety.tiye not citizens Of
the couuty. lie charged a false count at
Hinton, and a recount made by the Com.
missiOneB live days after the election
showed that Fowler received four more
votes than were certified him, and the
Commissioners refused to make correction.
lie also Chargeda false count at New Rich
nOnd and Jumping Branch. Fowler and
bis attorneys demanded a recount Of the
Ebole county, which was stubbornly re-
sAed by Thompson and his attorneys, but
finally the court decided that the recount
should he made. 90
Asa result OF the recount, the Now Rich
moHd case will do for an example. The
envelope was we'll sealed and undisturbed.
According to The returns Fowler received
&i votes, Thompson "a, and Malcolm,
Republican, Is. As counted by
the Court it stood: Fowler Al,
a, Thompson q, and Malcolm GO. And
50 the count continued till nigst, and
when the Court adjourned Fowler was
within eight votes Of victory. Five persons
We're present to swear they voted for
Thompson and were under twenty-one;
ioar, that they were residents OF Raleigh
county at the time; and four with other
equally valuable testimony. This made five
.uo'e than were necessary to elect Fowler,
and 'eit out a number OF railroad men
whose votes were disputed.
But the night brought forth a startling
change Shortly after midnight Mr.. Fowler
WIS approached by Tbompson's attorneys,
aud the matter was compromised, Mr..
Fowler receiving $500. Mr.. Fowler gives
Hous Of his principal reasons for compre-
missing the case, that after he should have
been declared elected, Thompson would
appeal the case and keep 1t in the Court ol
Appeals until the term Of Office expired.
Hewould have have had to sue Thompson
io' the fees, and his execution would be
worthless, as Thompson has no property
" tnetwo evils he chose the lesser. One
o' the reasons assigned for the miscount
is that the commissioners got tangled In
the count and had to 10 back, while the
clerks went to sleep and had to be
aroused. 1t is asserted, and seems moi
improbable, in the light Of these exposures
that Captain Jonathan Lilly was fairl,
elected to the Legislature over Lowry, ant
was counted out along with Fowler.
An interesting feature Of the case is tina
the parties are Democrats. TWAS a sort o

Rry, On. lIoudurox, OF New Haven,
,l,s il to be the duty Of clergymen to
n,pacb such sermons as his own, elsewhere
I..erbed, touching the murder OF Rose
,mblpr. That is to say, it is the duty
,,Ivriyiege Of the pulpit totryand tocon-
riet a suspected person, as DR.. Houghton
b, ,rie,i and convicted William Lewis. II
tbe business OF the pulpit is to aid as it
NAV in the saving Of souls, it is difficult to
we how such sermon contributes to that
end. The Lesson Of the woman's life and
death could have been drawn without de-
tsruipiug definitely a point which has not
been thought clear enough to warrant the
mss. Of the suspected man. By all means
The pulpit ought to be manly, but the most
effective pulpit work is not believed to be
that which goes by the name OF aensa'
:Onal preaching.
And what does anybody suppose DR..
lIoughton means when he says: "We
want no bIear.eyed preachers who sit like
o,ls on the rafters Of tho temple of Zion,
hoo,ing the worn-eut fables Of by-gone
isys into the ears Of thoughtful men. We
want free, earnest, broad-minded scholars,
EhoilG convictions and the courage to
4pressthem." Are thesongs of Zion ever
Old? Some Of the "blcar.eyed preachers"
Who are not free enough or broad.minded
enough to go outside OF the Bible for their
doctrine have, in their homely way, done
much to give comfort to souls oppressed
with the burden Of sin. II the "fables OF
By game days" be drawn from the Bible
they will not wear out while the Great

A Big Suit for Damages.
MONTREAL, October 2.-Quite q sensa,
ton has developed in society here, a young
lady visitor having sued the proprietor ol
the Windsor Hotel for $4,000 damages ior
defamation OF character and summary re,
moval from the premises. Theyoung lady
Is Miss Florence Lent. She Is the daughter
Of Mr.. Philetus Lent, a contractor OF Brook.
lyn. She is on only daughter. She has
three brothers, one, Mr.. Louis Lent, grain
merchant in New York, who, it is under
stood, is assisting her in J rosecutiRg the
hotel proprietoIs. Miss Lent sang for a
time, 1t is aaid, in the choir OF St Bsrnard's
Church, Brooklyn. Before coming to
Montreal, it was supposed by her friends
that she was to marry a Mr.. Glasgow,
Of New York, who was clerk
in the late Co operative Dress Association.
1t Is said the day was set for the wedding,
and number OF friends sent her wedding
presents. Her engagement to a Mr.. Car
lotti, singer, was announced. The name
OF the gentleman in Chicago, to whom she
is said to be engaged, is not known. The
affair still continues TO be the chief sub-
iect OF conversation in fashionable society.
Miss Lent has been admitted consider
ably to fashionable society IN Montreal,
and the announcement oil the alleged Inn
Iproprieties on her part has caused de-
cided sensation in the families where she
had been on intimate aud friendly terms,
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE,
Miss Lent, 1t appears, registered herself
at the Windsor Hotel as Miss F. L, Lent, oi
New York, and she was given one Of the
best rooms in the hotel. On Monday even.
ing last, Mrs. Lent accompanied by Mn
Patterson, attended the performance given
at the Academy OF Music, which Is but a
short distance from the hotel. Returning
about ll:20 O'Clock they entered the main
entrance, crossed the large rotunda arm in
arm, and ascended up one dtght TO the
public sitting.room, where Mics Lent
was taken leave Of, for the time
being, by her gallant friend, who descend
ed 10 the office below, and asked one
OF the night clerks for his key, which was
promptly handed him. He then Mt oncs
betook himself up stairs, presumably to
his own room. The night watch who had
been apprised Of the suspicious circum.
stances, proceeded to Mrs. Lent's room,
and commenced the investigation, He at
| first knocked at the door, but there was no
answer, only subdued whisper OF voices.
The watchman tried the lock. The bolt
had been drawn from the inside across the
door, and the only alternative was to burst
the door open.
This action was not resorted to, but the
watch was maintained during the remain
der Of the night. About 5 o'clock in the
morning Mr.. Patterson, according to the
story Of the hotel authorities, walked out,
and proceeded TO his own room. That
same morning both Miss Lent and Mr..
Patterson received polite note from the
manager Of the hotel, requesting them to
settle their accounts and leave at once,
Mics Lent Is ssid 10 be boarding at fash.
