For The HERALD.

Dear Mr.. Editor The calm has
arrived after the great citizens Dem
ocratic) storm; the cannons roared,
the votes fell fast but the Democrats
yielded to the blast, not one is left to
report victory (defeat) to the Bal
timore Sun. How sad it must be to
labor necessarily from early morn to
close of day. under the searching rays
of Old Sol, and then get left! Oh,
these Republicans are so deceiving,
besides they won't be subdued. They
are like truth crushed to earth, and the
more they are prosecuted, the more
brilliant they become; by their fruits
We may know them. They are no re-
lation to Mr.. Free Trade.
In the 4th Ward, all Is quite serene,
Because the complexion is beautiful
ly Green;
The songs must have been sung to a
common meter,
But not enough votes to satisfy Peter.
Next comes the 9Th Ward rolling in
to line
With a majority of near forty nine.
Harry thought things looked so plain
But Charlie got there all the same.
Now Jacob thought the race to win,
And the way he worked might be a
sin;
But John came along with heavy
tread,
And left poor Jacob politically dead.

ANOTHER BLAINE LETTER.

The political leaders have left
Blaine no rest, and to the repeated
inquiries whether he meant what he
said in his letter of declination, he
now repeats the same declaration,
that be does not want to have his
name come before the Chicago Con
vention. What do the politicians
take Mr.. Blaine for, anyhowg Don't
they know him as well as the people
dog Have they no demand on him
as the people have? Nominate him
by reclamation ; let him stay in Eu-
rope, and bis friends the American
people of American principles will
attend to his campaign and have
the White House cleared and ready
for him on March 4, 1889. The ma
tion will join in his reception as its
President was never before received

LOSING A GOOD MAN.

II what we can learn from friends
of Hon. John J. Hetzel, of Paw,Paw,
is correct, the Republicans of this
district will lose a promising young
leader, and the district prominent
and leading citizen. Since the death
of Mr.. Ladew of the tannery firm,
Mr.. Hetzell will take the position Of
general superintendent of the firms
business in this country, and have
his head quarters either at New
York or Cumberland. This position
is important and paying, and viii
leave Mr.. Helzell no time for other
public affairs. There are many who
regret the change of bright polite
al career, but hope the great cam
paign before us may yet see the ser
vices of Mr.. Hetzell.

damage was done to corn in certain

Cloud and Clay Counties, where the
ground was covered with hailstOne

forming a compact coating of ice in

a foot in depth against the buildings.
The hail fell with great force, tear

fall of hail was terrific and the rain
descended in torrents. The hail.
stones were piled and drifted in
many places from two to four feet

Kelly and Christie, the men or
trial in Wheeling for the murder OF
Officer Glenn, were found guilty in
the first degree, and the penalty fix
ed at confinement in the penltenti
airy. Arguments will be heard fol
a new trial. The evidence was not
even circumstantial, but depended
mainly on their own statements
while in prison that they had "done
up" a "cob +" in Wheeling. Their
story of tramping around from place
to place about the time of the
murder, was corroborated in the
main by witnesses at the different
points where they had been. But
the feeling in Wheeling ran high
against them.

Reports in detail of the flood on
the Mississippi and the destruction
of property caused by the breaks in
the levee, show the stories of suffer-
ing and loss can hardly be exagger,
ated. Two Illinois counties, under
civilization and peopled by hundreds
OF families. have been converted in.
to a great lake, and it may be
months before the waters subside
so as to permit the rebuilding OF
leyees, railroads and dwelling hous-
es. 1t is something worse than the or
binary flood caused by rise in the
river with high banks. In that case
the water flows off, as the river re.
cedes. Here the ground is below
the ordinary level of the river, which
is only kept out by the levees, and
the water cannot flow off, but must
be pumped out or allowed to evap-
crate after the levees have been re-
paired.

Messrs Reilly and EUans AS the
town clock seems to be agltating the
mind of the Statesman, thought you
might be interested in getting at the
facts of the case for the benefit of the
public generally: The Odd Fellows
notified the town council that their
agent should not go through their
lodge room to wind and attend to the
town clock, that they (the Odd Eel
lows) are going to alter the interior of
their room and make certain inn
provements in the same, and wanted
all the room for that purpose.
Then a committee from the Odd
Fellows came before the council to ask
permission to use certain space for
making alterations in the steps enter
ing the Odd Fellows hall. This was
refused without the Odd Fellows
would grant the corporation the privi-
lige of going through or above their
lodge room, for the purpose of attend.
ing to the clock. This was refused
by the Odd Fellows. The council
then offered to the Odd Fellows the
clock, and also to pay them for
keeping it wound and in order,
which the Odd Fellows also refused.
Now if the corporation has no right
to make way to the town clock eth
er above the Odd Fellows or Masons,
and can give none, then the council
must find place for the town clock,
to which they can have free access at
any and all times.
