An officer Shot Dead.

WILMINGTON. O.. March S.-This evening the
village marshal. John It. Van Doren, was shot
and instantly killed by a drunken desperate
named Alfred Ballard. Ballard. who lives a
short distance south of town, came into the
village late this afternoon and soon became
very much intoxicated. When in his cups he is
very abusive and quarrelsome. About Z o'clock
he provoked a quarrel with a saloon keepe r
named George Barlow. and threatened loudly
that he would have his life. Barlow escaped
from him, and Ballard proceeded to the corner
of South and Locust streets, where he was az
rested by Marshal Van Doren and policeman
George Daniels. They started with him to the
village prison, but had gone but a few steps
when Ballard jerked his right hand loose, pro
dueed a revolver and shot the marshal, the bull
let passing through his right eye into his brain.
An immense crowd speedily gathered and it re-
quired the utmost exertion on the part of the
officers to prevent them from lynching Ballard.
As it was, some one in the crowd succeeded in
cutting him severely. He was at last safely
lodged in Jail, where he now lies. The muir
dered marshal was one of our oldest and most
respected citizens, and has been marshal of the
village about twelve years in all.

Barbed Wire consolidation.

ST.. LOUIS, March 9.-It is given out as one of
the results of the recent meeting here of the
barbed wire makers that steps have been taken
for the practicable consolidation of all barbed
wire manufacturers in the country under the
name of the National Barbed Wire Company.
Another meeting will be held in a couple Of
weeks, at which final arrangements for amalga-
nation and organization OF the new company
will probably be made. The causes of the adj
vance of one cent per pound in the price of wire
made at the late meeting are said to be the
great demand for wire and the recent rise Of s.
to So per ton in the cost Of raw material.

MYERS AND HIS LITTLE LETTER.
There Are Still a Few COmmendatOry Com
ments Left for the Dropping Statesman.
FOUR REDEEMING POINTS.

Saturday Herald.
The good points in favor of State Secretary
Myers are cumulative. Besides the fact that he
permitted a private firm to print the acts of the
last General Assembly in advance of the States
issue of the same, and besides the other fact of
his ugly and uncalled-for Hayes letter, there are
two other points that may endear him to the
hearts of tie Democracy. We give them for
what they are worth, and they are these:
l. In 1860 Secretary Myers was a radical
temperance man, and in December of that year
he led a mob which went through Anderson and
Quilted the saloons of the place by pouring out
the beer, wine and whisky. That will make HIM
solid with all anti temperance Democrats.
2. During the war he was indicted for trying
to hang a Democrat.
We trust the Democracy will mediate on all
these four points, and, il they seem to be in Soc
rotary Myerss favor. let the party say SO by re-
nominating him for Secretary of State.
WILL RESULT IN HIS DEFEAT.
Lebanon Patriot.
The condemnation that is being heaped upon
w. r. Myers, Secretary of State, on account of
his contemplate allusions to ex- President Hayes,
is pretty certain to result in his defeat for q re
nomination, and most certainly will if the De
mocracy of Indiana have one spark of decency
left. A man with any of the instincts of a gen
tleman would not have written such a letter, but
if this blatant statesman from Madison county
allowed the baseness of his nature to impel him
to vilify q distinguished and honorable man, he
might have done it in his capacity as 'Bill'
Myers, and thus saved the people Of the State
the modification of having it credited officially
to a servant of the Commonwealth
THE DEMOCRATIC ELEPHANT
Vecdersburg Reporter.
Wonder if the Democratic party would not like
to swap off their big white elephant, w. r. Myers,
the present Secretary of State! 1t seems impos-
sible to hold him in check, and only a few more
such blunders as he was guilty of when he wrote
to NJ. F. Round and censured ex- president Hayes
so severely will be needed to give the Republic
ans ammunition enough to last for weeks. Peo-
pie on thin ice should never kick hard enough to
see whether it will bear or not, for no telling
what may happen.
WILL STEP DOWN AND OUT.
Boonville Standard.
Myers, the Democratic boor, whose presence
disgraces the Office of Secretary of State, will
step down and out at the expiration Of his term.
We don't know that his desire is to do so, but
his chances for any Office hereafter are not half
as good as are Cabbages chances to become

Within a limited circle here it is we'll known

entirely out of this. Here, be that as it may,
on this very account, you will find Democrats
waiting with anxiety to see what treatment the
good old fellow will receive at the hands of the
Republicans, determined if he IS snubbed there,
as they confidently predict he will be, to rush his
name into the Democratic convention and nom
mate him anyhow, with the perfect assurance
that he will be elected.

There is no doubt but he is guilty of petty
tricks to which a man would not stoop, but so
far, none of the agents on either the Wabash
or the L.. N. A. & c. roads, running out of
Indianapolis, have mustered UP courage enough
to express their convictions. They are afraid of
their positions.

As Goes New York.

At every national election Since
1S4S, says the New York Star, with
only two exceptions. the party that
carried New York elected their Presi-
dental nominee. Pierce carried the
State in 1852 and defeated Scott, the
popular vote being 262, Os3 to 1884,
49,. Lincoln carried the State in
1850 by a vote of 362,646, the
Breckenridge and Bell tickets draw
ing away enough votes to place
Douglas in the minority. Lincoln
again carried the State in 1864, by Il
vote of 36S,735 against 261 1856 fol
Mcclellan. Grant carried New York
in 1872 by vote OF 44O,736 agains,
3S7 ,2Sl for Greeley. TlIden carried
New York i'll 1876 by 521 ,94S.
against 1885, for Hayes; an
Tliden was elected, though fradu-
lently counted out. By colonization
and the lavish use of money, New
York was carried for Garfield II
1880 by a vote of 500 .544, agains.
534 ,5l1 for Hancock, and that slen-
der majority place d the Republican
in the White House. In 1856 Bu-
chanan was elected President, al
though his popuI r vote in New
York was only 195, S7S, against &c.
OO7 for Fremont, the Republican
nominee. At that time parties were
breaking up aid rsorsauizing, and
MlllarL Fillmore, a New Yorker,
who wa the candidate of tie Amsri-
can or know-Nothing panty, DIS
played strength enough in the State
to draw away 124 ,6O4 votes from the
regular Democratic ticket. Seymour
carried New York in 1868 by vote
Of 429 ,SS3 against precisely 10000
less for Grant; and this is the one
solitary instance in nearly forty years
where the ticket that carried New
York was not triumphant. On the
other hand, Buchanan was the only
President in the same period who
failed to carry the Empire State yet
was lawfully elec.ed.
