The Philadelphia Times, in comment
ing upon the appointments, charactcr-
ICES it rs landmark Of reform in the
following language:
President Cleveland has planted Il
landmark Of reform by the rc-appoint-
mont of Postmaster Pearson, Of New
York, 50 towering in it's proportions
that it can be seen and understood
from Maine to California. 1t is les
son that tho regulation partsans will
not welcome; it is a tribute to has,cst
government that tho whole country will
heartily applaud. There will be some
Democratic disappointment and dis
content over Pcarson's nomination,
but there will be much greater gratif.
cation and Cancellation in reform Re-
publican circles, and tho profit will
largely overbalancc tho loss. 1t is an
unmistakable Cleveland landmark OF

The Greatest Reporters Found Among
the Deputy Marshals.

Side oil the Investigation.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Jan. lathe
Springer investigating committee pro-
ceeded more rapidly this morning
with a view of closing Mr.. Follett's
side OF the case to-day.
Mr. Valid testified to the presence Of
an unusual number of colored voters in
the Eighteenth ward and said that
when he protested against receiving
two votes the deputy marshals sur.
rounded him with pistols, pointing at
his head
Policeman John Kelly saw Deputy
Marshal Westphal strikes man on the
head with q club when under arrest
and between two deputy maTshals
The witness arrested Westphal and
the deputy Inarehals tried TO rescue
Westphal but did not succeed.
II. ID. Urmston, an attorney at law,
testified that he was boarding
at the Walnut Street house
at the time of the election.
He saw number of strange men
who occupied two rooms. They gave
out that they were two of Pinkerton S
detectives here TO prevent repeating.
To him one who was registered Gs
John O'York of Little Rock, Ark,
confessed that he was John Wilson, q
commission merchant of Chicago.
They all wore United States deputy
marsha's badges on the day of the
elnction. On the night after the
election O'York told him that he
had voted three times and another
said that he had voted eight times. To
/ a member of the committee the witness
said that he did not offer to arrest these
men because they were drunk and
quarrelsome, and besides, they were
just about TO leave on au omnibus, He
said that his firm, Blackburn s. Urm-
stou, had been employed by the Re
/ publican national COMMITTEES to defend
the Republicans arrested on election
day. Blackburn had attended to these
cases, he being u Republican.
On crOss-eXaminRtiOn the witness
said that all these cases had been dis.
missed by the Democratic police Judge.
He supposed that these men told him
Of their illegal voting because they re-
garded him as Republican, being a
partner OF Blackburn, a well known
Republican.
The remaining testimony during
the day was hurhedly taken and was
manly additional accounts OF matter
already in the evidence.
Matthew Britton testified to having
overheard colored man ask for MIR.
BUtterw0rth on election day, saying
that he wanted pay for eighteen men
he had on a flat-boat.
Objection was made to this on the
ground that il was in no wise connect
ed with Marshal Wright, and the COM
mittee ruled IL out.
Mr.. Foilett had permission TO exam
inc one or two more witnesses, and the
defense begins tomorrow.

Iron Manufacturers in Conference

PrTsBURG, PA, Jan, IA The
Western Iron Manufacturers Protect.
i've alliance held its third annual meet
ing here to-day. All the districts west
of the Allegheny mountains were rep.
resented in person or by proxy, this
having been the largest gathering OF
the alliance since it's organization. II
was unanimously concluded That at
the close of the scale year, May 81,
the rate for pudding shall be 81 per
ton. The present rate Is IS 90. The
wages of the finishing mills will
be reduced in like proportion. The
Amalgamated association will this
month begin consideration ia their
lodges of next years sales. The OH
GERS, upon being interviewed relative
TO the action of the manufacturers,
stated that they would have nothing
TO say. 1t Is their privilege to make
any proposition that suits them. Four
dollars per ton has not prevailed here
since 1861. During the winter of 1875
the rate was 81 20 for a few months,
which was preliminary to the adop-
ton of the present yearly scale system.

Q Il
sN Ben. Perley Poore, who remembers
more lies about the public men who have
lived and moved in Washington than any
man living, has recently evolved fabrica-
ton about the poker-playing attainments of
Henry Clay. It is all very well to tickle the
public ear with these little fabulations com
cerning men about whom the people of the
whole country have always felt an eager
interest. but about the inner lives Of such
men as figured prominently upon the state Of
American politics forty and fifty years ago,
there is amply enough of truth to be told to
make the personal history of such men en-
tertaining. We all remember the pretty lit
tie story told of Mr.. Webster, who, in i'm
peaching the creditability Of witness, asked
the lady on the witness stand what there was
derogatory to his character? AT the same
moment MIR. Webster indulged his generous
nose with huge pinch of snuff, at which the
lady responded to his question: u "He takes
snuff!'' This charming lie abouta great man
was entirely spoiled by the subsequent de-
not only never took q pinch Of snuf in his
life, but that he abhorred tobacco In all its
forms. It is altogether probable that Mr..
Clay instead of being an adept at poker play
ing, did not know a flush from q jack-full,
and II the truth was known never straddled q
blind in his official life. 81
