A Remarkable Incident.

H.B. Mann, six miles southwest of
Wauseon, has hog which went
through an ordeal which is seldom the
lot of q hog to experience. Thirty-three
days ago from last Sunday Mr.. Mann
missed one of his best hogs and after
considerable searching and inquiry
about the neighborhood without ascer-
tanning its whereabouts, he came to the
conclusion that it was gone for good.
Last Sunday he went to the barn and
near large straw stack he found the
lost hog which could hardly walk and
90 changed was it that at first he did
not think it was his property, but after
a careful inspection he became con-
WINGED it was his. The question then
naturally arose where had the animal
been all this time. After puWling him
self over this knotty problem MIR. Mann
viewed the straw stack and discovered
a hole N it which ran almost through
To the other side. Remembering that
before he missed his hog in September
there was hole in the stack from the
other side, which his wife one day
closed up with boards and straw to
keep the hens from going in and laying
eggs and putting her to great trouble In
obtaining them. When she did this
the hog was in the stack and after the
hole was closed up it could not back out
and had to make its way through which
it accomplished in just thirty-three,
days. When it went in the animal
weighed about 100 lbs. and when 1T
came out its weight would not exceed
over so pounds, and is now in such a
weak ,ondition as not to be able to eat
a half pail of swill per day Wauseon

Irving to FIoridaize New York.

New YORK, Nov. 10.-Chairman B.
f. Jones, of the Republican National
committee, was asked last night about
the report that Messrs. Evarts, Dudley,
New, and others, had been summoned
here by the National committee. He
said that it was not so. "IknOw moth
ing of the whereabouts or movements
of either Mr.. New or Mr.. Dudley" He
said: "Mr. Evarts was engaged a few
days ago to take charge of whatever
legal affairs the committee might have. J"
The report that over 100 Democratic
lawyers were to start to-day for the va
rious counties in the interest of the ma
tional Democratic committee was de-
MED yesterday by Mr.. Chas. z. Miller.
"About 200 lawyers offered their SER
vices,' he said, "but as there was no
real need of their services they Wee de-
clined. About a dozen have gone out
to certain counties to see that justice is
done at the county canvass"
The following statement by eX-Cor-
poratiol Counsel William G. Whitney
was given out by the Democratic Ma
tional committee as the expression OF
its sentiments at the present time. The
situation is as follows: The Cleveland
electors have received a plurality OF the
votes in the State, as shown by every
estimate and return, official, unofficial,
hostile or unfriehdly. The Blaine man
ayers have been eudeavoriig to figure
out a plurality, but at length reluctant
ly admit that with all their claims al
lowed, Cleveland has the State on the
votes as cast and returned. They have

St, John Burned in Fffigy.

Topeka, KANSAS, Nov. This city
last night was wild with excitement
over the elections returns, and the sus-
pense of both Republican and Demo-
Gratis was great. Both parties paraded
the streets, yelling and cheering as the
returns were favorable alternately to
one and the other. The greatest indig-
nation is expressed by Kansas Republi-
cans at st. John, whose cou Sc in New
York has led to the results which have
proved disastrous to their party, and
the ex-Goveruor's name was shouted in
derision by thousands of Republicans
upon the streets. Last evening an
effigy of st. John with rope around
it's neck was paraded up and down the
principal avenues of the city, followed
by bowling mob of fully 5000 people.
At O'Clock the procession halted in
front of the Western Union telegraph
office, and nailed to the telegraph
pole across, bearing the following in
scription: "Sacred to the memory of
John P. st. John; Nov. T. 1884" A
rope was then thrown over the cross bar
and the effigy was soon swinging from
the top of the telegraph pole. Col. II.
P. Coney, who was conspicuous as one
of the Irish orators in the Ohio cam
paign, then addressed the assembled
thousands in the following words:
FELLow-C CITIZENS: The just indig-
nation of righteous and loyal people
of Kansas is here expressed by the pub
lie execlation and final destruction of
that carpet-bagger John P. st. John.
He has violated every trust and conf
dence, and deserves no consideration.
Parade him! hang him! burn him! but
be sure and clear Kansas of his disgrace
full name.
At the conclusion of his remarks q
match was applied to the effigy, and it
was soon burned amid the shouts and
.jeers of the popu]ace, and the national
Prohibition candidate for President
went to destruction in effigy atthe cap
ital of his State and the city where he
lived during his four years of admins
tration as governor of Kansas.

A Remarkable Bet.

fort Worth Correspondence OF the Globe'Demo-
crAt Aug. !, lSTs.l
At the table of the FL Paso the report
er was introduced in his professional
capacity to big, burly, pleasant-faced
man. whose manner indicated that If
he wasn't boss of all Texas he had pref
ty much the biggest share in maintain
ing her prosperity. The individual in
question was Col. ]. T. Chidesher, pro-
prietor and operator of stage line from
Fort Worth to Fort Yuma, in Arizona
Territory. In his idea there were but
two great enterprises on earth-the
Globe Democrat and the Fort Yuma
stage line. Oh, but he was a jolly kind
ofa chap. whole-souled and full of vim
and fun. Coming up from Fort Worth
to Dallas he told how he made fortune
betting on Gen. Zach. Taylor's election
to the Presidency. Said he:
"I bet everything l had, money,
house and home, farm, pasture land,
stock, wagons, harness, clothes ana
everything you could think of. AS
long as had credit I bet it. Then one
day I bet my hat, coat, vest, pants and
shoes. and | was five miles from home
at that. But was sure Taylor would
be elected. / bet on his election; on
his election by different majorities; on
his living to be elected, and had side
bets of all sorts and shapes. In those
days used to drive round-this was IN
Mississippi--witha band OF music and
a six-pounder cannon, and | tell you
we had rousing times and stirring
speeches. But my man he got elected,
as I knew he would, and | calculated
when figured it up-for had a clerk
to keep track of my bets-that L had
won S30,00O in gold. collected all OF
the bets, too. One man didn't like to
give up a mule he had bet-it was the
only mule he had--and so l took his
mule and gave him another and oet-
ter one, and to-day he writes me every
month and says what a good fellow
am. And when 1 knew | had won !!
kept open house for week, and invited
the whole county. I had charcoal made
by the thousand bushels, and oxen
cooked whole in trenches, don't know
how long. I decorated every post, flag
pole, chimney, lightning-rod and Tree
tor in that vicinity with the American
flag, and when the flags gave out sent
for more. We fired salute of thirty
three guns, one for each State then
every morning before breakfast, ana
again in the evening, and l guess had
over seven hundred people atmy mouse
for whole week and more, eating and
drinking and making merry. And
after had deducted all my expenses

At the October election West Vir-
ginia adopted an amendment to her
Constitution providing that her State
elections be held in November hereaf-
ter. This leaves poor afflicted Ohio to
stand alone as the battle ground in Oc-
tober elections, especially in Presiden-
tial years. If there is as much money
invested ia carrying these elections as
is claimed by our Democratic friends,
it will be well as financial measure to
continue to hold our elections in Octo-
Der; but if we are to view it from q
moral point the sooner we adopt an
amendment to our constitution to
change the holding of elections from
October to November, the better it will
be for us all in the end. AS we have
failed to discover any difference in the
circulation of filthy lucre in this section
since the election, and as wealth does
not consist alone in money, but rather
in the distribution of that article in the
payment of honest debts, ETC., the Jour-
nal will advocate an amendment to the
constitution of Ohio to change the date
of holding elections from October tn
November, believing it will be for the
BEST interests of business and the morals
of the people of the State -R1ysbawg

now taken another tack, and propose
to cary this State after vhe election, if
they can. For this purpose they e
gathering together political lawyers and
election manipulators. Their scheme
is to Floridaize New York by counties,
and to induce Republican boards of
supervisors to throw out votes on the
ground of pretended irregularities. The
fact is that the claims of errors are
about equal both sides, with the bal
ance in favor of Cleveland as against
Blaine. For instance, in Chautauqua
county there is an icregularity amount
ing to over 400, principally in James
town, in Delaware county one of 100,
while in Richmond, Saratoga and other
counties mistakes also appear, which
tell against Blaine, and if corrected
will largely increase Cleveland's plural
ity. If the country were to be thrown
into disorder for the adjudication of
mere technecal'ties, the Ultimate result
in the State would increase instead of
decrease the plurality now universally
accorded to Cleveland and Hendricks.
But returning-board tactics will not be
tolerated. Any attempt 10 control the
election by prostituting the constituted
authorities to fact Onal uses will be
Indignantly resisted by the people of
New York as revolutionary and incen-
diary. The result being clearly ascer-
tained and Incapable of change by fair
means, there is no more reason for pro-

the late election than anypreceding one
The Presidency of the United States is
not to be decided upon oue-sided alle-
cations of mere clerical errors. Neither
the vote of New York State nor of any
of its counties can be Floridaized. The
attempt now being made to do this, at
the direct instjgation of Mr.. Blaine and
under his direcuion, serves only to in
tensify the determination of the peo-
pie that the President who has been
elected shall be seated.
