Our sleighing vanished as quickly as
il came, giving us short warning of
its departure. There are great many
people saying that if they had known
the snow was going SO soon they
should have improved the opportuni-
ty to get little larger wood pile at
the door, or few more logs into the
mill yard, or something else of this
nature. 1t is always the way we are
never quite ready for a change-es-
pecially from splendid sleighing to
mud knee deep.

Several of our singers attended the
convention held in Atwater
last week under Prof. Griffith. They
report pleasant and profitable time,
also that the Atwater people are
kind, courteous and hospitable people.
We wish to inform the Atwater cor
respondent of the Alliance Review
that he must make an allowance FOR
the odd and eccentric views of Uncle
Falstaff. He must not think that
there are no people in RanpoIph that
can appreciate music just because one
Old FOgy said so. Even Falstaff him
self, has to certain degree, musical
inclination, but it is not very general
ly known. Please remember this next
time, Mr.. Correspondent, and do not
put it to us quite so heavily.

man, Mr.. Nash, whereupon they COM
menced an assault upon him with
stones, and one of them struck at him
with night, cutting through his
jacket and vest and. fortunately, strik
ing his suspender buckle, the blade
was turned aside without doing any
serious injury. Mr.. Nash Immediately
teIephoned for the police, but was un-
able to find them in time to prevent
the escape of the rascals.
The open Campfire of David McIn-
tosh Post, No. 327, G. A. R., on Tues
day evening, was largely attended and
a very enjoyable affair. The exercises
consisted of music, speeches, an elegant
substantial supper, and general good
time. There were quite number of
comrades from other Posts present.
The hall was tastefully decorated with
flags and appropriate emblems and a
fine display of war relics. The Post
is to be congratulated upon the success
of their first Campfire.
During the high water last week Mr..
Thompson, the teacher at the Six
Corners, attempted to cross the Break
neck creek, and in some way missed
the roadway and was given cold bath
in the swollen stream. He managed
by hard swimming to reach the shore,
but has no anxiety to try it again. His
horse was also obliged to swim for his
life, but finally landed all right.

Correspondence.
1t has been quite common for some
time past to write to the county papers.
L have noticed number of articles
from this place and was glad there was
SO much interest manifested. But re-
Gently it has been clothed in it's old
apparel, silence, hence / should like a
small space in your columns.
The high water has done it's share of
damage along the railroad, at and be-
low this point. but is being rapidly
repaired. Chief engineer Agnew run
train over the track where it was in
bad shape. No man but an Agnew
would have the courage to do so.
Our old reliable mail carrier is played
out. He has not been on the war path
for the last two weeks, having been
wounded, as it were, by the enemy
exposure. We are glad to learn that
he is on the meud, and hope to see him
along the old route again soon. His
brotherin- law, Mr.. Bennett, is otflci-
ating in his place at present.
The Baptists hold series of revival
meetings at this place, this week, Rev.
A. J. Morton lahoring in the cause.
We wish him much success.
We understand that the Literary is
still in progress. notwithstanding their
being criticised through the columns
of the Republican. 1t seems, by an
article in the PRESS, their indignation
was somewhat aroused by that small
and just criticism. But the joke rests
on Mr.. " Colorado Joe," for accusing
the wong man, Mr.. B. of this place,
of being the author of the article con-
tanning the criticism, and he made it
manifest by writing an article for the
PRESS. Mr.. B. accused Mr.. P. of
being Colorado Joe, and put 1t to him,
as we understand. Mr. p. made prop
osition, in the presence of a number of
our citizens, that Mr.. B. should clear
himself through the columns of the
Republican and that he, Mr.. P, would
do the same through the Press. An
article appeared clearing Mr.. B., but
Mr.. P. has failed to show up.

A Sound Opinion,

The american, Philadelphia, refer
ring to the third-party action OF the
Prohibitionists, remarks:
Hardly any members of that party
regard the election of Mr.. st. John as
possible in any Imaginable contingent
cy. They know that every vote for a
candidate on that ticket amounts to a
vote for Mr.. Cleveland: and it is only
fair to ask those of them whose gener-
al sympathy is with the Republican
party to consider how far they are pre-
barred to contribute to a Democratic
victory. Ex-Governor Gibbs, of Ore
gon, in a recent speech at a Prohibition
meeting in New York, stated the case
with much force. He said: "The
moral effect of electing President on a
Prohibition ticket would be great; but
practically he could not do as much for
temperance as a policeman in the
smallest ward in New York. The
President cannot pass a law, nor vote
for one. Nor has Congress as much
power over intemperance as the SMALL
est state in the Union. 1t can only
pass law prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating beverages in
the Territories and in the District of
Columbia, as well as their importation
from abroad. All the President could
do would be to sign such measure or
veto it; and President elected on a
Democratic platform would be bound
to do the latter. Every vote for Mr..
St. John is half vote for Mr.. Cleve-
land. The prohibition sentiments of
Mr.. Blaine are paraded before the liq-
uor dealers, to induce them to support
Mr.. Cleveland; yet | have been work
ing side by side in the temperance
ranks for several years with Demo
Gratis and as many Of them will vote
to to the Republicans from the Frolibi-
bitiOniSts."

"REMINISCENCES OF 1880.
John L. Dayenport's solution of the
NSOrsY letter.


New YORK. Aug. 1S.-JOhn |. Davenport
has published book of $50 pages, dealing
with the Morev letter forgery of 1880. He
SAYS the author was one Henry H. Hadley,
lawyer of this city, whom he describes
as rather shady professional. He
quotes from Hadley's letters to Stone that
he has always been Democrat and says the
forgery was committed in the rooms of
Hancock Republican association on or about
Oct. ?, 1880 The proof of the authorship Is
very specific About 1000 letters written by
Hadley have been compared with the Morey
letter, and it is shown that he always miss
spelled the word "reigiously" as it is miss
spelled in the Mercy letter; also, all nouns
ending in les such as companies" cop
les" "enemies" he spelled with final ''ys, :"
as the word "companys," which appears in
the forged letters. In his genuine CORE
spondence Hadlev invariably dotted the let
ter 'r' when it occurred in a word contain
ing an Il" as in the signature to the forged
letter.
Hoadly is declared 10 have made his ar
engagements for launching the letter upon the
public with great skrewdness, and admits
that he wrote the name Henry L. Mercy in
the register a. the Kirkland house, at Lynn,
and substituted it for the name Of George E..
:. Morey in the affidavit of Mrs. Clara
Mercy declaring that he was her son. Dav-
export says the letter was offered to The
Sun, but Dana said he believed it was forged,
and would have nothing to do with it. The
language of the letter is shown to have
been ,culled from the speeches Of a number
of-gsntleZnen on the Chinese question, and it
is also proved that Mr. Garfield did not use
the letter paper upon which it was written.
