Frank lIatton, eX-postmuSter general.

cagO Mail, ran away from CadiZ and en-
listed at Xenia, in a company of which his
brother-in-law was captain. A few wet,
cold hours of camp life in our beautiful
suburban neighbOr sickened him. and he
had the captain telegraph his father to order
him home before he was sworn in. but the
father replied. promptly, Swear him in
He was sworn in, staid in, and gave the
confederates a good deal of trouble before
the picnic was over. as he has given the

Honest Politics and n Free BaIIot-Popu-
lar Republican Organizations.


The selection of the successor to Grover
Cleveland is not a matter of so much i'm
pDrtance as the measures now employed to
cleanse politics of impurity and fraud; to
destroy the rule of the bosses. and to pro-
te.t the humblest and weakest citizen in
the right to vote for whom he pleases
The people are now in a condition to con-
slider these immensely important topics. and
the masses of voters should give their at
tentiOn to them. The outlook is good Re
form movements are beginning to reform
Many a formidable boss, VITO bought mems
vsteS or clubbed them in slavish subjection
at the polls, has been Overthrown. and let it
be understood that the rest of this bad brood
whether democrats. republicans or prohi-
bitionists-are doomed TO tumble and fall
Taey must be Oyerthrown and extermin-
ated.
There can be no assurance, anywhere, of
good government until we have honest
elections. the fruits of which are the placing
of honest men in everywhere. Mems
votes must not be bought. OF improperly in
fiuenced. All citizens must be left to vote
precisely as they please, without liza
bility or fear of molestation-and without
regard TO future reward or punishment
The boss and the bulIdozer must go-and
go down and under. They are low, hap
PLY for the country, disappearing from the
south, but they come 10 the surface every
now and then in various places In the
north. New York is cleansing her skirts
by sending such of her bosses and boodlers
to prison as had not previously escaped to
Canada; and decided and most encourag-
ing change has occurred for the better in

day Christian Michaels, an aged man
residing near the Taylor Works on South
Main street, took several tablespoonful
of Paris Green and then went to bed
where he was discovered at five o'clock,
by his wife, vomiting violently. Ply

SUICIDE OF CHARLES MUNDAY.-
Information reached Hagerstown last
Monday, that Charles Munday aged
about thirty years, son Of DIR. John
Munday, had deliberately committed
suicide by shooting himself in the head
at his residence, on the Clair farm,
three miles north of town, along the
Middleburg turnpike. DR.. A. s. Mason,
this city, was summoned, but the injur-
les of the unfortunate man were OF
such character that he was unable
to afford him any assistanc or give him
any relief. The ball from the pistol,
and which was found lying near by +,
lodged in his brain. There is no doubt
that the suicide was deliberate and
prearranged. 1t is thought that he
was influenced to the deed by serious
charge of alleged felonious assault re-
Gently preferred against him and which
so preyed upon bis mind that he was
driven to end his mental anguish in the
manner narrated. He leaves wife
and several children to share the SYM
pathies of a large circle of relatives and
friends. Death ended his sufferings at
IL O'Clock. Globe.
