It's all over now and the morning sun
finds the weary city silent and Everything
asleep but the butter" The morning trains
brought in thousands of strangers from the
neighborng towns and took out almost as
many Springfelder's to Dayton, Yellow
Springs and other villages to spend quiet
day in the country. Duriug the morning
everybody was on the streets, and the swell
terlng crowd, the martial music of the parade,
the flying banners, the holiday costumes, the
choking dust, all combined to give the day
the regulation Fourth of July appearance.
The Knights of St. George gave small
parade to advertise their picnic a,
Spences Grove, but further than this
there was no demonstration in the
city. The din and racket OF fre-crackers
and torpedoes was kept up st' adily from day
light until noon, by which time most OF the
crowd had vanished westward toward the
Fair Grounds.
The sharp shower late in the afternoon
cooled the air and made the evening too
tempting to stay wiIhindoors. This, added
to the fact that it was Saturday night, brought
immense crowds again onto the streets, aud
the sidewalks about the center of town were
jammed until 10 o'clock. The irrepressble
racket OF explosives was kept up at lively
rate, and few enterpris ng merchants
brought crowds about their doors by
sending up few rather lonesome
sky rockets, but there way nowhere dis
play of fireworks worthy of the name, except
in front of Stewart's on LIMESTONE street, and
that was entirely impromptu and uninten-
tional. The streets began to thin out about
ten o'clock and by midnight only an occa-
sional fre.cracker or tipsy night hawk was
lett to break the peaceful quiet. All that is
now lett of yesterdays excitement are the
the smouldering and chared remains of the
explosionf with which the streets about the
centes of town are strewn.

Yellow springs.

The large crowds that usually throng this
iural summer resort on the Fourth, were not
diminished to-day. Large excursions came
from Dayton, Springfield and Xenia. The
old Neh building was utilized for dancing by
the Dayton crowd in which those disposed,
and there were many, joined. The Yellow
Springs House was thronged with guests, " no
evidently appreciated Mr.. Groves eifor, to
make the day one Of special enjoy ment for
the city visitors. Picknicking parties filed
the Nell grounds and enjoyed the occasion
every one according to inclination. The
great crowds began to move for home as early
as 8 o'clock p. M. after which hour the surg
ing masses diminished. As the Springfield
train lett the grounds of the Yellow Springs
House were being handsomely illuminated
with Chinese lanterns, and many people re.
mained for the evening.

A remarkable attraction was exhibited by

One OF the most spirited and exciting fea-
lures OF the afternoon and one that bore the
stamp of genulneness, was the race by rider
less horses. In this there were three starters,
Miss Burke leading ss "coach," mounted on
bay. The animals entered into the race
with an impetuosity that was admirable aud
sirove each to their utmost to win the race
1t was beautiful exhibition OF the
speed powers Of the horse,
untrammelled by rider and uncontrolled by
the pool-boI. The half-mie dash was made
IN 50 seconds, which is regarded as excellent
running.
trick mule furnished the next bit of di-
version, The animal was borrowed from the
Citizens Street Railway Co. for the OCCASION
A colored citizen with some nerve and very
brunette complexion undertook to ride the
fiery Bucephalus, but the crowd thropged so
thlckly on the track that the mule didn't
have room to Buceph. hardly any, and the
exhibition fell fiat So did the negro at the
first kick.
The creased pig race was the only com =.
plete fzlle Of the day. 1t is difficult to say
which was the biggest hog, the poor porker
that was up tor show, or the public that
crowded on to the track as thickly as hairs
on dog, and took up all the room available.
The Roman chariot race, coming next, was
pre'eminently, the feature of the day, and
aroused intense excitement. The chai lots
were two in number and we're draw BY
four horses abreast. Miss Burke DR., 70 oae
team, while gentleman member OF er ,m.
pany handled the reins over the o. her, At
the word go, the two got of near , abreast
and went laundering msgnifcen,ly down the
track amidst a cloud OF dust. As the char
lots turned the sharp curves OF the course,
their momentum caused wheel of each to
leave the track and both spun around at
angles that caused the spectators to bold
their breath. The beating OF the thirty-two
hoofs sounded like the roar OF thunder as the
horses leaped forward in powerful union,
with quivering nostrls, distended eyes and
painting chests the chariots seemeing barely to
touch the ground. The race was won by
Miss BurGe in 50 seconds, half mile dash.
The rain now began falling in torrents and
the closing race feature, the Indian chase for
bride WAS omitted. In the teeth OF the
Storm, however, Mr.. John Rankin, of this
city, the winner OF lbe Ballard rifle offered
by the Springfield shooting club in last sea-
sons series of matches, did som, excellent
glass ball shooting. He used 20 calibre gun,
with short cartridges. Owing to the
inclemency OF the weather, Mr.. Rankin was
unable to do some Of his best fancy work

his work showed distinct expertness.

OF MS retirement IN mis- country nome at
Fremont. 1t says;
For the past six weeks various statements
as decidedly untruthfnl in fact as they were
vile in their iunuendo, have appeared in the
daily Journals throughout the country re-
specting certain lands at Omaha. Nebraska
owned by ex-Presdent HAYES. These stories
all tended in their information to show that
the ex-Presideut. whose TEMPERANCE princi
ples are well-known and respected, had per
mit,ed building located npon portion of
this property to be used as a liquor saloon
that he received a higher rental from the
saloon keeper than anyupe else engaged in n
different business would have pad, and that
therefore he had sacrificed his temperance
PRINCIPLES for purely mercenary gains. Now.
The true facts in this matter. are sjmplv these.
In the iall of 1866. Mr.. HAYES. with General
IL, L, Bucklan1, q respected resident OF EIp-
mont, Ohio, and gentlemen of consistent
temperance principles, purchased together
five vacant lots in Omaha, Neb., through a
prominent real-estate firm of that city into
whose charge the lands were left after
purchase for sale or rental. From time
to time various parts Of these vacant lots have
been leased to divers persons, the lessees them
| selves erecting the buildings and retaining the
ownership in them aud at no time have
either ex- President Hayes or General Buck
land owned one of these buildings and con-
sequently have never received any rental from
their occupants. Concerning the particular
lot upon which the saloon il locatad and
which it is reported Mr.. HAYES caused 10 he

was made public, we copy, by permission. the
following extract from personal letter re-

an inquiry regarding this matter: .On NAV

that they thought they could sell the lot for
$l2, 900 or $4,000. On receipt of this letter

lot at the latter figure II that was the best
they could do. On the 25th of Nav thew

The responsibility of the riotng in Chi
cago seems to be squarely due to the IN
activity and cowardice of the authorities.
The street car men have been generally
quiet, but the roughs gathered in the crowd
and encouraged by the belief that the
authorities feared to do anything, precipi-
tated matters by attacking the police.
There was fighting, Of course when the
police attempted to strengthen their line.
The end of the trouble cannot be foretold
but the situation is one of practical illus
tratlon of the folly of delay in meeting
the violations Of law. Restore law and
order first; the grievances can be discussed
afterward.

THOSE "METHODIsT CONFERENCE
kESOLu rIONS"

The Methodist church is body Of free
and independent citizens. They are loyal
to their chnrch and loyal to their country
and to their own honest convictions. In
the light of the recent action of so called
leaders Of that church with regard to po
litical Prohibition it is not strange that a
professionally christian and true-should
come from authorities and influences in
that church equal in position to Rev. A.
B. Leonard, candidate for governor, him
self. We present the following:
To the Editor OF the Globe Republic.
In your issue OF Friday last you refer to the
fact that certain resolutions a opted by the
last General Conference are being used ex-
tensively in certain quarters with view, ap-
parently, to give the impression that Metho-
dists are somehow bound by them to vote
with the Prohibition party.
suppose that resolutions reported from a
Committee on Temperance, or any other sub
ject, to the General Conference, and adopted
by that body, are entitled to respectful con-
siderstiou; but 1t certainly ought to be un-
derstood thai they are no part OF the statutory
laws of the Church, and in no sense "rules OF
the Church" and are binding on the con-
sciences OF those only who vote for them
Every one who knows nythug Of so called
| deliberatve bodies understands how, in the
| last days of protractcd session, resolutions
| of all sorts are rushed through, with little oi
no consideration, and utterly disregarded often
by those who vote for them. For years past
the Cincinnati Conference, tor instance, ha;
been in the habit of adopting strong resolu.
tions against open gates with admission fees
at camp grounds on Sunday; and yet many OF
our leading ministers do not consider them
selves bound by such resolutions--st least
they do not obey them.
But the report of the committee on tenn
perance. adopted by the last General
Conference, distinctly disclaims any intention
"to dictate to our people as TO their
party affiliations" then can II bind
"every loyal Methodist to vote with the
Prohibition party? As Methodists we are
willing to coucede that we have pretty
strong ecclesiastical government, but We have
never understood before that it went to the
length of telling us how we must vote.

1t is matter of general comment that
the W. C. r. T., has been bought out"
by the partizan Prohibitionists of Ohio. At
least the assumption of the debt of the
w. c. I. u, by the Prohibition party
would so indicate. The rental Of St. John
at 800 and expenses, and his lengthy
speech in the abuse Of Republicans also
indicates that the partizan Prohibitionists
are going right up to the front in initiating
the very worst kind of doodle methods.
