money, had left for Macon, promising
to return in two weeks. The time had
passed. She thought he had deserted her
and she slipped away from home He had
told her that he would be in Febry, ILL.,,
at q certain time. She went there and
missed him. She then went to Chicago,
where she met Mrs. Whitebaum, whose
son was her tiancee's friend. She was shown
letters written to ths Yeans Ys man from
Aaseth yLass -a.5j-Dioodsworth, in which was
stated he was going to marry a girl in
Macon.
This exasperated her and she left
Chicago and started for Macon. She
learned that the young man was keeping
books for firm near the city hall.
Detective Wood arranged so she could
look out of the window into the store aud
recognize him. Another detective was
sent TO the door and called him out. Whom
he came her words were: "He is the
man." She was hidden in side room and
the young man sent for. He was shown
into the room. When he discovered
her, he said !: "My God, you here - She
said, "Yes, have tracked you over 5000
miles, and want you to marry me az you
promised" They were separated.
She said afterwards: IL told a story

expressed determination to put down
the performance of "Peck's Bad Boy"

excited our warmest admiration. The
power of the press was exerted to hold
up his conduct as model for all the

Each party practically stands where it

The real battle OF this contest was in
neither Ohio nor West Virginia it was and
IL is in New York and Iodiana, the states
which the Democrats recognized as
debatable when they nominated their
presidential ticket, and because recogniz-
ing them as such, took the oand idates from
them.
The October elections in Ohio and West
Virginia simply relegate the couteLtion to
the decisive battle ground of New York and
Indiana in November. They are doubtful
states, as doubtful this morning as they
we're yesterday morning.

Republican majOrities in 1880 were only
