A FRIEND asks whether the ISTELL1.
GEScER isn't little "hard" on those Ohio
So!ous who elected Mr.. Payne. No harder
than this, from the Louisville Co,.rier.Jour-
nal, something Of o. Democratic authority:
Mr.. Paync's nomination is the result OF
the Dlost corrupt conspiracy ever organized
in this country, and was compassed by the
most extravagant use Of money known TO
the legislative history Of any State in the
Union.
Or this from the Columbus Times (Dem):
Thirty pieces Of silver bought Judas
lscsriol, the arch traitor, but it cost the
Standard O;l-McLean faction much larger
bundle TO subvert the will Of the people.
Orthis from the Washington Post Dem.):
The dsreputable elements which COM
PEELED hiB nomination have foisted upon
his shoulders the disgrace they sought to
intlict Oh Mr.. pendleton. He should not
bear il. :! Sg.N. oT,
No harder than more which We have al.
ready printed from Democratic newspapers
and much more that We might print. And
there is Allen G. Thurman-something Of
Democrat himself-recall what he said
about machine with money to run it.

A Tragedy in Which All tho Actors Are

PARIS. January l6-Oambriai, on Sun
day, Was the, acene Of a. tragic episode OF
love and devotion. Two young people,
both Of excellent family, and desperately
attached to each other, met by appoint
ment in the public garden near the ram
parts. Entirely absorbed in conversation,
they did not observe that they were being
followed by the father Of the lady, who,
rightly or wrongly, diaapproved OF the
connection. The loyers, hearing a. sus-
picious noise, mounted the top oi The RAM
part to ascertain the cause, and at the
same time the father who had provi.
ded himself with a revolver; took aim
at the young man end fired, but the
young lady seeing the movement, sudden
ly sprang before her lover, receiving the
bur ct in The face. She fell. dead ut bis feet.
On realizing the terrible. truth, the young
man resolved TO die also, and nprecipitated
himself from. the top Of the rampant into
the dry ditch. He dropped on the stones,
daBhing himself to pieces and dying in
stantly. The father, seeing the consequence
Of his act, became insane through grief.
The young lady was Of fextraordinary beau.
ty and accomplishments. The terrible
drama has caused the greatest excitement.

PHILADELPHIA, January lG.-Allen o.

ol the inaugural ceremonies at Columbus,
The following is an extract from ii 2.
Owing TO Hoadly's presidential aum;bi.
tlons and cons. qusnt horror OF display, tho
lnanSuyation ceremonies were very tame.
aud tho attendance the alimmestS that. has
gfaced such m occasion, in many years,
Ihe ga!lsnts hearls OF the Ohiomiiitia were
bsulsed aud broken by being I excluded
from ail pa, ,tieips,ion Ia the affair. There
we're not 2,00O people in the city from ont.
side, and tue parade Of two political .clubs
was the only demonstration OF any kind.

much as 1t was magnihcenlly mismanBged,
IIoADLr AND FOSTER coNrRAsrID.
George Hoadly took the oa.h Of office "a
Governor shortly after 8 o'clock in the pres.
ence OF large, impatient and turbulent
mob Of cit'zsns. Hoadly and Foster pre.
sented striking contrast as they stood side
by SIDE, iaeing the level OF upturued facea
They recalled the old and the new wear
only the Que going out looked like the new
year ana the one caming in like the old.
lload!y's pale and shallow face, dull and
sunken eyes and long beard gave him a
]ust.lrom ;he.hcspital look, that impressed
the observer with the belief that he was
suffering from an Illness from which be
might never recover.
Foster looked the'ma in the perfection
Of his mental AID physical powers, Tie
Governor introduced !, his successor in A
happy, brief and graceful speech, and the
setting and the rising Of the sun in the
buckeye Sky were greeted by grand out.
burst OF applause that was meant to be
equally complimentary to each.
SOME ePIcy CRITICISMS,
There is nothing remarkable in tho new
Governors first public effort, except his
anxiety displayed in every suggestion to
the Legislature, lest it should ruin his DO.
lltieal ambitions by its indiscreet action.
The Legislature has more to fear ircm Gov.
ernor Hoadly than he has from it. His
anxiety recalls an incident Of the campaign.
The Governor was 10 address Il labor meet.
log early In the summer, Mt Columbus, and
he senta friend up to see that precautions
were taken to prevent some d-u fool
from saying something iadiec.eet," The
answer TO the ambassador was: III YOU
take care OF your d-n fool We will tske
care Of ours" '
With great pro arie!v the Lpc;slatura ~,
nuke aslmilar reply to Governor Uoadlv's
inaugural address. Certainly there has not
been governor in many years who en-.
tered upon his official duties so d;srusted,
dls.iked and denounced as G Gorge Hoadly'
The "kids"who won the Senatorial tjpnt
IN such superb style are disgnsted with
him, and the mossoacks never did like him
or his new DsmocracS." His name will
never be mentioned in Ohio, either for the
inst or second place on the ticket, EXCEPT
BY, some cheap editor who has been an.
pointed scrubber in the Capitol.
