w euHtSudy 1dSI the IftOu1le contain
ed the following local item of great
Importance:
The editor of his paper ran across relative to-
day, Mr.. Ellis, lawyer of NNkerson, delegate to
the convention, whom he had not seen for thirty
years. Although the two were opposite sides
politically they were happy TO meet and talk over
the olden time.
Now there is nothing so very startling
in the above item, but its inaccuracies
are proverbial with that paper. The
Mr.. Ellis spoken of was not a dele
gate to the convention, but apparently
was possessed with the belief that he
could run things to suit himself. In
another column of the paper we find
the following item:
During the excitement the sheriff escorted one of
the delegates from the room, who insisted his
rights TO speak.
The long lost relative had been per-
mitted to take seat in the hall, not
as a delegate, for he had no credentials;
and the Tribune man had been invited
to take ii seat on the stage. What his
feelings were when sheriff Wilson
grabbed the maudlin interloper by the
DoiCh VI lu6 HSCh etH(l CeiI1ICO ulLI
hence is hard to imagine. The circum-
stance may have had something to do
with causing Townsley to make Il
garbled and grossly incorrect report of
the convention. After having con-
vivial ''old high" with his long lost
relative his being compelled to witness
the election of that individual appar-
emily sOured him.
REPUBLICANS are still focking to
the Cleveland and Thurman standard.
The latest additions are the New York
Commercial Advertiser. the Providence
Journal of Rhode Island and the Spring
field Republican Of Springfield, Mass.
OF religious papers repudiating the
republican ticket, the Christian Union
of New York, and the Setndard and
Adrdnce of Chicago, are fair samples.
They don't accept that monstrous
platform adopted at Chicago.
The charge made by Gen. Moore,
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in the saliva
ton army, that the two girls who
have been here conducting the meet
ings were not all right, appeared not
to have been substantiated, and the
three young bucks, who joined in with
the fat general in attacking the girls
were unceremoniously invited to leave
town last Thursday. They left. In
the opinion of the writer hereof the
salvation army will not have done
any lasting good in this town; still we
believe the young ladies were in the
right in the late trouble, and that
they were treated very stability by
their commanding officer and their
comrades.

Oh, Those Printers!

We have received letter from the
amiable sohool-marm of Mound Ford
school, complaining thatin paragraph
which appeared in the Ogden depart
ment OF THE HERALD on Wednesday
last we reflected on her character as
school manager. Such thing was far,
very far, from our thought. Having
been informed by 8 gentleman we'll
known and, indeed, of high standing in
the ward, that his children, or some of
them, had been subjected to the duck
ing" process to which we alluded in the
paragraph, we thought it necessary to
call attention to the matter; and, in
doing so, we used the words Tagging, 1"
but the printer, unfortunately, read and
printed it "f1ogging." Now this seems
to have been looked upon by Miss II. as
reflection on the way she managed
her school. We can assure the lady
that the inside discipline of the school
was never thought about by us. It was
simply an effort On our part to stop the
bigger scholars from exercising their
strength in practicing jokes on their
younger and consequently weaker
schoolmates. We hope this explana-
ton will soothe the excitability of the
amiable lady who undoubtedly has her
annoyances inside the school house
without being troubled with what takes
place outside of her jurisdiction.
