EX-GOvERNOR HOYT gave John
Sherman piece of his mind at Halle
ton, Luzerne county, last week, in an
address he delivered at the unveiling os
the soldiers monument at that place.
He boldly denounced Sherman's s attempt
in the present campaign in Ohio to re-
new sectional strife, and declared that
the cause for which the soldiers had
fought was wOn--that the entire country
now accepted the result and that the
only questions remaining are matters
for the local governments. Mr.. Thorn
as, of Catasauqua, Lehlgh county, who
is also a strong Republican and is largely
interested in the iron business in Ala
bama, was present and heartily approved
Gov. Hoyt's address, adding very en-
phaticaily that Sherman's bloody shirt
speeches will do more to hinder prosper
ity in the South for Northern capital
than any or all other causes combined.
If HOadly is elected Governor Of Ohio
an next Tuesday week John Sherman
wIllbe the man who brought about that
result.

THERE does not seem to DE the ghost
Of a chance for Mahons's ticket in Vir-
ginia, headed by John 5. Wise for Gov
ernor. Leading Republicans all over
the State are announcing themselves in
favor of Fitzhugh Lee, the Democratic
candidate against Wise. Col. Rives,
late chairman Of the Republican State
Committee, has written a long letter
giving the reasons why he will support
Lee in preference to Wise, and J. Am
blel Smith, former Republican mem
Der Of Congress from the Richmond dis
tIict, says he will support Lee with all
his heart, because Malone has basely
betrayed the old Republicans and viola
ted every pledge he made when they
formed a coalition with him. In addi-
ton 10 this and much more Of a similar
character, a State Convention of colOred
men met at Lynchburg on Wednesday
last TO define their position in the con-
test. We Will most likely know before
going to press what was done at the
Convention, whether it endorsed Lee
OF put mp candidate of its own, either
OF which declarations would be fatal to
Malone and his ticket.

A son of James Pollock, who was
elected Governor by the Know n Nothing
party over Bigler in 1854, and who has
held Office in Philadelphia under the
general government ever since 1861 un-
til year OF two ago, was removed last
week from fat position he held in the
L. 5. Mint in that city by Daniel VI.
Fox, who was recently appointed Super
intendent by Mr.. Cleveland. We be-
lieve the removed officer was appointed
by his father, the Ex-Governor, when he
himself was Superintendent of the Mint
tWelty-fOur years ago. and that he has
held his Office ever since with a brief
intermission. And yet the old man is
represented as being very indignant
over his sons removal This veteran
Office holder forgets that when he was
Teinstated as Superintendent of the
Mint in 1869 by Grant, from which po-
sitiion President Johnson had removed
him, he turned out Of their places with
out a moments warning every man
and woman who had been appointed to
places in the Mint during Johnson's
Administration. Old Mr.. Pollock's
idea seems TO be that when a Republi-
can gets into Office he has a right to
hold on during the period of his Iatc-
raj life. He is. however, beginning %
learn in his old age that this is mis-
take.

A REUNION Of the veterans Of Gen
eral Grants old regiment, the Twenty
first Illinois Volunteers, took place at
Neoga, in that State, on the 23d of Sep
tember. Colonel Fred Grant, who was
present, was given a very hearty recep-
ton. In response to requests for a
sDeech the Colonel said "I do not
IL nd to make you speech, for have
Leen trained as a public talker.
lv- here a document that 1 weuld like
lad to you. 1t is the last line writ
ten by my father upon matters pertain
ing TO the war, and has never before
been made public. As he entered into
the war with you for his first cOmpan-
ions and as he always spoke OF your reg
iment with affectionate interest, it is fit
ting that YOU should be the first to hear
his parting words. This is what he
wrote upon the slip of paper hold here:
1 feel that we are on the eve Of a
new era, when there is to be great har-
mony between the Federals and Confed-
crates. l cannot stay 20 be a living
witness to the correctness of this propb-
ecy, but feel it within me that this is
| to be so. The universally kind feeling
! expressed for me at time when it was
/ supposed that each day would prove my
last seems to me the beginning of the
| answer to Let us have peace" The
! expressions of these kindly feelings
were not restricted to a section of the
/ country nor to a division of the people.
| They came from individual citizens of
| all natiOnalIties from all denomina.
tiOns, the Protestant, tie Catholic and
the Jew, and from the various societies
of the land-scientific, educational OF
otherwise.
Politics did not enter into the matter
at all. l am not CgOtIstic enough tC
suppose all this significance should be
| given this matter because I was the OBJ
ject Of it. But the war between the
States was a very bloody and a very
costly war. One side OF the other had
to yield principles they deemed deare1
than life before it could be brought tC
and end. 1 commanded the whole OF
thd mighty host engaged on the victo-
Tious side. I was, 10 matter whether
deservedly so OF not, a representer Of
that side OF the controversy. 1t is g
significant and gratifying fact that Con
federates should have joined so heartily
n this spontaneous move. 1 hope the
good feeling iuaugurated may continue
to the end -
A general amen went up from the
veterans and the meeting adjourned.

THE Republican State Convention of
New York met at Saratoga on Tuesday
of last week, and nominated Ira Daven-
port, of Steuben county, for Governor,
and Joseph B. Carr for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. The Democratic Convention
met at the same place on the following
Thursday, and nominated David B.
Hill, the present Governor, who was
elected Lieutenant Governor with Cleve-
land as Governor three years ago, and
who became Governor when Cleveland
resigned few days prior to the fourth
of March. Roswell Z. Flower was
nominated for Lieutenant Governor,
but resigned a day after the Convention
had adjourned, ard the State Commit
tee in pursuance of authority vested in
it, met at New York on Tuesday last
and filled the vacancy by nominating
Gen. Edward F. Jones, Of Broome
county, who was a soldier in the late
war and has an honorable record. As
usual, the Republican papers are dis
counting IN advance thO result or the
LECTION in November in the Empire
State and confidently predict Hills de-
feat, but no man knows anything def
mite about it. Gov. Hill received nearly
al the votes in the Convention on the
first ballot, and that is conclusive evil
dence that he enjoys the confidence of
his party throughout the State. Tam
many Hall voted unanimously for him
in the Convention-its followers are a
unit in support Of his election, and that
counts heavily in a New York cam
paign. There are so many uncertain
political elements in that State that
enter into the calculation Of the ulti-
mate result, the Prohibition strength
being one of them, that no prudent pol
itician even in that State itself will
stake his reputation by forecasting the
outcome. As every one knows it is a
a close and a very uncertain State and
the only prudent thing that can be
said about the result in November is
that the result is as apt to be in favor
OF one party as the other-or, in other
words, 1t may be Hill or it may be
Davenport.

OF AGNES jerks ONCE MORE
Agnes jerks, who acquired notOriety
through her cOmplicty with John Sher-
man and other visiting statesmen in the
manipulation of the vote of Louisiana
in the winter of 1857, has been often
in Washington since that time. Her
husband. Captain jerks. was given a
place in the Pension Office as a reward
for their Louisiana work. Captain
jerks has been kept in Government
position by the Sherman influence ever
since. Tonight Mrs. jerks is out with
a circular attacking a Mrs. Gardner,
who has a daughter employed in the
Assignment Division of the Interior
Department. Ms jerks accuses Mrs.
Gardner of having stolen the affections
of her husband and having broken up
her family. After reciting various
charges against Mrs. Gardner, of a
character that would hardly do for pub
lication in a newspaper, Mrs. jerks
closes her pamphlet by saying 81 go
to my mothers home with my child to
begin anew and face alone the battle
of life. but / 60 not in silence as my
husband did. Let the curse Of ruined
home and the wreck of a once happy
family rest on those who were its cause.
l did my duty well and have nsught
to regret in the past, but l grieve that
in the future my young son must re-
alize As l do the ignOminy Of his faith

The private fortune of Queen Victo-
ria is estimated at twenty-five millions
of dollars Notwithstanding pos
session of this enormous wealth she has
always taken good care when one of
her sons or daughters was to be married
to ask Parliament for a liberal grant Of
money out OF the taxes of the people as
q marriage present or subsidy, and she
always got it because it was in accord
ance with long established precedent.
although on some occasions a vigorous
protest was made against such a method
OF compelling the English people TO do
what the English Queen ought to do
herself. She always meant business
ana has always looked out for her own
interests.
