flItsDNFg Times.
As the scaveneer of the American press, the
indianapolis Sentinel has c~ontrived to so fully
fill the field as to leave no room for any possible
rival, 1t clings to the infamous scandal which
it directed against the family Of James G..
Blaine with the tenacity of a ghoul to the plum
der of q grave which he had desecrated. Even in
the heat of the campaign the resort to this
method OF warfare was deprecated by every
honest man, and resented by every decent per
son of both sexes. None but a bastard hand
would have struck at Blaine through the heart of
his wife and the mother of his children, and the
manifest act of his life was that by which he
spared her and them the i~gnominy of an appear
ance in court to answer such a charge.
In pursuing the allegation the Sentinel has
nothing to gain but a notoriety, the bare con
temptation of which is nauseatine to well-ordered
minds. That, however, it appears to revel in,
and there only does it seem to be vulnerable.
Let it be stricken there, then. So long as its
ignoble declarations are given the currency of
publication by reputable newspapers it will con
tinue them. Treat it and them with the con-
tempt each deserves, and both will soon sink
into diShOnorable oblivion.

CLEVELAND's BODY-GUARD.
A Proposed Organization which Fails to Or

A Proposed Organization Which Fails to Or
ganize.
Washington Letter in Charleston News.
AS soon as the result of the late presidential
election was determined, a number of gentlemen
residing in this city undertook to organize a
cavalry company to be known as the ''Presi-
dents Mounted Guard" Numerous meetings
have been held in prominent hotels, but all at
tempts to perfect an organization have thus far
failed. AS is the case in almost every Washing
ton organization, there are two factions, each
seeking to control the affair. Some of the orig
%inators Of the scheme imagine that they will
when Mr.. Cleveland takes up his
abode there, on the ground that they are
the Presidents body guard, consequently a bit
ter fight has begun over the selection of a cap
tain of the company. The leading aspirants for
that honorable position are General Beverly
Robertson, at one time a cavalry officer in the
regular army, but afterward a staff officer in
the confederate army, and Captain George A.
Armes, who has been in and out Of the regular
army several times, but is at present engaged in
the real estate business. General Robertson
moves in the highest and best society, and is a
conspicuous figure at fashionable germans and
dancing receptions, because of his age and
avoirdupois. The young men contend
that the General only seeks the place
that he may don the uniform of the
company and capture any ~ents
In the way of social recognition that may be
showerad upon the commanding officer of the
presidents Mounted Guard" Captain Armes
is also Objectionable, because he has been 'Hired
OUT of the army several times on the charge of
being a disturbing element, and generally disa-
greeable as q companion and a comrade. 1t is
also claimed that his eccsntricities render him
a most undesirable commander. Armes says he
is the father of the company, and, unless he
can be captain he won't play" He does not
stand very we'll at the War Department, which
fact might operate against the company securing
the usual cavalry equipment that is sometimes
advanced to militia companies. Neither of the
contestants appear inclined to yield, so it is
probable that the President will have to get
along without a body guard"

history Of the Northwest Territory. About
that time it was anpounced that the State of
Ohio meant to print for preservation the letters
of General st. Clair, which had been purchased
from his defendants. Ohio obtained Mr.. Smiths
material and services, and in six months he
prepared that remarkable book, not receiving a
dollar from either the State or the publisher,
and at the same time he was conducting two
large Offices. He had to work at night entirely
on the book, which has been praised by men
like e. B. Washburne, George Bancroft, and w.
L. Stone.
Arthur st. Clair, while one of our most un-
fortunate generals, was one of our most dutiful
and sacrificing. He threw his fortunes in with
the United States, and poverty was the reward
of his old age, yet his name runs like a strong
and venerable thread through the imperial

society for this and every other country.

WILLIAM HENRY SMITH.
Something About the General Manager of the
Associated Press.

New YORK Tribune.
The agent of the Associated Press, the Hon.
William Henry Smith, is a modest man, and less
known, perhaps, to the New-York people than
those of the West, where he was a public off
GER in Ohio for five years, was Secretary OF
State, and was a collector of the port of
Chicago. He is, | think. a connection or kins-
man of General Arthur st. Clair, the first Gov
ernor of the Northwestern Territory, and is the
historian of st. Clair, and his book on that sub
iect was one of the first to draw the Western
States into the collection of their arcana. Mr..
Smith was the private secretary to Brough, one
of the two war Governors of Ohio. Mr.. Brough
had been a newspaper reporter, a printer and
has left a fine name in that State. Mr.. Smith
observed that there were hardly any historical
records, but found in an old cupboard some few
letters, nibbled by mice, and unindorsed. He
took his leisure, and got these letters together.
and filed them properly, and this was the begin
ming of the collection of the early records of the
parent State Of the West. Next Mr.. Smith be-
gan to collect the portraits of the Governors of
Ohio, and this was continued by both Governors
Cox and Hayes, and the collection is now the
best in the United States.
Acting on Mr.. Smiths example, Alfred II.
Goodwin, assisted by Robert Clark, a Cincinnati
publisher, obtained the st. Clair papers. AS
they were incomplete, Mr.. Smith went to Wash
ington and got the whereabouts of the missing
ones, and he found an official diary of ST. Glars
territorial secretary, which Mr.. Smith had trans
cribed. Then the young amateur began to
travel and to write, until Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia. during ten years, yielded up
quaint old treasures, and this time, together
with some thousands of dollars, Mr.. Smith put
out himself and prepared to write the political

which we shall sell our goods, so that every one may
know that we do not make the pretense Of undersell-
ing our competitors by secretly making prices to a few
persons only, and then afterward asserting that we
undersell others. We have already established our
selves in the confidence of this community as selling
a far finer quality of clothing at lower prices than
any other house in this State, which, of course, in
years past has been making a feeble effort to attain
that point in the public esteem which we have gained
in a single year. For quotations of lowest prices in
this market, always read carefully the advertisements
