From the n. y, Tribune: We
have never seen in tue most degrad-
ed form OF machine politics anything
40 bad as tho ohuckle of certain per-
sons in Pennsylvania over the as
sumed fact that some OF tho dele
gates in that State sought their po-
sitioas under fraudulent pretences,
aud with express design of bntray-
ing their constituents The ohpcklo
i, founded on falsehood, bnt is none
tho less indicative and suggestive.
These gentlemen are already receiv.
ing the appropriate warning in Ponn'
sylvauia papers that any candidate
nominated by fraud and bad faith
at Chicago will have hard road to
travel among the Republicans of the
State. They are ready to support
any man fairly nominated, but they
will not be dragged at the heels Of
n machine soiled with cheating aud

last July Ogletree was . in Atlanta, where
he met Charlie, who is a bright little fel

After Ogletree had passed the city limits
Charlie refused to go any further, where
upon Ogletree compelled him Tie child
was taken to Ogletree's home, which was
near Dallas, where he remained closely
guarded fer several days. During this
time Ogletree made the child call him
father, and beat and abused him terribly
He shaAed the hair of the boys head, cut
A mole from his body and put rings Id BIZ
ears. One day Charlie escaped. and when
bis story became known in Dallas, the
country became too warm for Ogletree, and
ne skipped. His first case Of kidoapping

THE SITUATION AT CINCINNATI
Encouraging Signs ofthe Supremacy
Of Order Yesterday.

Cincinnati, April 2.-One of the most
encouraging outward signs of the supreme
cy of order has just appeared in the remoy-
al of the barricades IN the streets about the
court house. AT noon the first street cars
of the Mt. Auburn line were permitted to
pass through, after being shut out since
$50 on Saturday night, when the pistol
firing and stone throwing in front Of the
court house so iutimidated the drivers and
conductors that they refused to further risk
their lives. The first lot Of freight deliv-
cred on North Court street was all immense

the court house. There is 10 longer that

upon this city since Friday night, can hard

they are not convinced thrt the original
purpose of this mob was not righteous

ended the exertions of the men engaged in

disgraceful proceedings were the natural
outgrowth Of the departure from the OBJ

and the militiamen are looked upon as
conservators OF the law.
The Judges are arranging to make more
speedy work in the trial of criminals. The
Commissioners have not yet fouEd rooms

mundl and municipal elections there are some
property qualifications, for the Italians think
that no man has right to impose by vote
tax upon his fellow citizens unless that man
has the wherewithal to be taxed himself. Ihe
senator's are selected by the King, and when
approved of by the ministry they are chosen for

them because of the preposterous claims of the
clericals for temporal power of the Pope but
