picion of being implicated in the recent
Colby outrage near Vaudeville, called at
THE TELEGRAM Office yesterday. Paraday
was speedily discharged upon being exam
ined and both men affirm there was not the
least excuse for the arrest being made. They
also state that great injustice was done Par
aday by the officers claiming he attempted
to make good his escape from them, before
he was informed for what he was wanted.
Paraday claims this statement Is entirely
false. as he did not attempt to escape or
evade the officers at any time.

The TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
State Superintendent Nelson Much
Broken Down in Health.

State Superintendent nelson Mucn
Broken Down in Health.
The sessions OF the Teacht rs Institute.
being held az the High School, were gener-
ally we'll attended yesterday, with the excep-
ton of the evening session. In the evening
Prof. J. ". Caldwell, of Lansing, delivered
an admirable lecture upon "A Plea for Let
ter" and there were but thirteen teachers
present TO listen 10 II. Ii may be the threat
ening storm prevented larger number from
attending, but 10 does seem a mistake that
these evening lectures, by the leading edu-
Gators of the State, should be held IN the
High School building. The weather Is too
warm for the majority of people
To climb high hill and three or
four flights OF stairs to listen to a
lecture, and undoubtedly much larger
number would attend these interesting
evening sessions were they held in an opera
house, or hall, OF church. IN Il more central
and less elevated portion of the city. Prof.
Caldwell's lecture of last evening was de-
serving of a large audience and It's pity
only bakers dozen enjoyed II. There Will
be no lecture this evening.
Rev Thee. Nelson, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Is hardly able TO at
tend the sessions of the institute and yet
such an indefatigahle worker Is he that he Is
never content 10 rest in the harness. Ever
since his health broke down at East Saginaw,
necessitating trip to Europe. Mr.. Nelson
has enjoyed but few weeks of good health
and he intenls 10 go from this city 10 Battle
Greek. where he hopes TO recuperate strength
and health from treatment at the sanitarium.
He i now but little over forty years of age,
and this fact makes his present unfortunate
condition all the more sad. There are thou
sands of friends and admirers who will hope
for his complete restoration of health and
strength at the Battle Creek water cure.

THE "MISTAKES" OF THE PARTY.

Republican Politicians Satisfied That a
Wise Head and Firm Hand Control AZ
fairs.
The Republican managers expected
to have organized before now for their
campaign of 1888. They felt confident
that Mr.. Cleveland would wreck the
Democratic party at once, for had not
one of Mr. Blaine's loudeSt organs, the
New York san, pointed out how in
competent the Democratic standard
bearer was? how unfit he would he to
conduct the business of the Govern
ment? The issue would be very sim
pie one, thought the Republicans; ''the
mistakes of the Democracy" nothing
more. nothing less.
But as yet the Republican managers
have not launched forth. On the other
hand. they have kept remarkably quiet
For President Cleveland is making such
an admirable Executive that even the
opposition can not find flaw that will
afford capital for campaign purposes.
True, some of the Republican papers
find fault with the Administration, but
so groundless are their charges as to
make them absurd from the start
President Cleveland entered upon the
work of reform the day after he was
indicted into office. He did not make
a clean sweep of the offices, but he ina
stituted rigid examination, and from
day to day since the 4th OF March resig-
nations have been called for, and good
men appointed in the place OF incompe-
ten. partisans. And the verdict of all
intelligent and honest men is that
wise head and firm hand guide the
affairs OF the Republic.
So long as good men applaud the
Democracy and thieves complain, the
Republican party must keep in the
background.
The loss to the political thieves by the
change in the Administration is enor-
nous, and we'll may the Dorseys and
Bradys cry out against fate. But the
more they howl, the better satisfied will
the people be.
The outlook is indeed gloomy for
Evarts and the Republican machine

SHERMAN'S VIEWS.
John Sherman's idea of Breaking Down
the FL .ctive Franchise.

John Sherman's idea of Breaking Down
the FL ,ctive Franchise.
Hon. John Sherman has recently been
showing unusual activity in yentilating
his views. He has availed himself of
several opportunities to let the country
have the advantage of his opinion on
matters of public interest. Among
other things, he has given his opinion
of the ''crime of breaking down the
elective franchise and robbing the peo-
pie of their right to govern themselves"
Of course, Senator Sherman is repro
batting an o1ense which he classed
among the most heinous, as he did in
his recent Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce speech. meant to convey the idea
that the Democrats were guilty of that
species of political iniquity.
1t is not in The least probable VIII en- he
condemned in such strong language the
crime OF breaking down the elective
franchise, that he hal reference to the
proceedings of Marshal Wright's depu-
ties by whose violent and unlawful in
reference the franchise of the people of
Cincinnati was broken down and the
result of the election perverted IN the
interest of the Republican party. He
could not have had that in his mind
when his virtuous indignation was
aroused by the contemplation of polit-
zeal misdemeanors. Nor is it likely
that his condemnation of the crime OF
'robbing the people of their right 20
govern themselves" was intended to
include the stealingsof the Presidency
from the man whom the people elected
in 1876, in which crime Senator Sher-
man was prominent participant
