COLUMBUS, o, March 23d.-The

that there was positively no chance

that under such circumstances he

and consequently relieved them
from further deliberations. The

The Ticket 10 Vote.

1t is hardly necessary 10 call at
tention specially to the excellence
of the Democro tic nominations. A
better array of names has never
been presented 20 the voters by any
party. The nominations we're made
in the good old way and are the re-
suit of careful deliberatlon among
the people of the several wards and
of a choice untrammeled by any ar
bitrary rules or the dictation of any
committee of bosses. The names
presented are the names of good
men without exception and all We
ask is that voters compare them
with the names which appear on the
Republican ticket and vote as iI
their Judgment they think the best
interests of the city and their own
best interests require. We have no
fear of the result In such a case.
The ticket Is good all the way
through. 1t is ticket that ought
to receive the vote OF every honest
citizen, Republican, Democrat, Pro-
hibitionlst or whatever, because It
is the ticket that all honest men
will want to see elected.
Now, IN city like this, we can
not afford to be two narrowly par
tlsan. we have to consider the
common interest and how 1t can
best be promoted, and 1t often hap
pens that we have to, or ought to,
sacrifice our partisan preferences
for the mutual welfare of the citi-
zens. The citizen must sink the
partisan, sometimes, in municipal
elections. So it is now.
Well, we have Tho satisfaction Of
being able to say that the Demo-
ratio ticket this spring is one of
he very best. We do not suppose
t is perfect; no political work ever
3. But this is as good a ticket as
las ever been presented or as Is ever
likely to be. 1t IS the ticket that
tands for good government and the
lection of which will insure the
eneral welfare In the highest de-
rec. We know that all the Demo
rats will vote this ticket, and We
an recommend it without reserva.
on TO our Republican friends also.

Court Proceedings.
The Trial and Conviction of
Billy Hawkey.

The court this week has been
e~rupied in the trial of William
tiawkey on charge of purjury.
The case is this: Hawkey isa
irilling, worthless, town loafer.
Some years ago, his wife becom-
ing sick and unable to maintain
inrself and him, was sent to the
ii.iirmary. where she died. Haw-
kay loaled around the town and
l.na!ly y look service i'm the Saliva

i. this business, his lustful eye
fell upon a little girl thirteen
raars old. He made oath in the
i'robate Court, when taking out
''s license, that she was of law
/ Al age. The license was issued.

A VERY BAD CASE.
The Convict Origin Of the
Tally sheet Indictments
at Columbus.

Mr.. Cyrus Hullng, the present
Prosecuting Attorney of Frank
lin county, has manifested a sin
gularly persistent determination
to place his official predecessor
and competitor in the periten.
tiary.
Huling's whole time and efforts
have been given to this purpose,
at a cost of some $4,000 or $780,
600 TO the taxpayers of Franklin
county. Penitentiary convicts
and ex-convicts of the most aban-
doned types were the instru-
| ments with which Huling worked
his scheme.
Of course it would be scandal
GUS and contemplate to intimate
that Hullng was actuated by any
such thing as political spite or
personal vlDdictiveness in his ex-
treme proceedings. Persons of
Huling's stripe are never affected
in that sort of way. Certainly
not.
The Columbus Dispatch, a Re-
publican journal, gives what pur-
ports TO be "a Full Resume" of
this infamous case. As the Dis
patch is a warm partisan support
er of Huiing. and a jealous up
holder of his prosecution of Ger
tain parties as the alleged perpe.
traitors of taIly-sheet forgerles of
the election in precinct of Co
lumbus in the year 1885, the pre-
sentation made by the Dispatch
IS, no doubt, the best it can make
for that side. Keeping this fact
in view, the following extracts
from the Dispatch's "Resume"
furnish rather singular reading
in the matter of such a prosecu-
ton:
"The earliest duty of the newly
elected Prosecuting Attorney.
Cyrus Huling, was to present
such facts as he could get toseth
er to the January Grand Jury of
1856. In collecting these facts he
was aided by citizens, who, IRE
spective of party affiliation, sub
scribed money TO aid him. This
combination of money and hon.
esty soon became known as the
Citizens Committee. As such
it has existed since then and may
exist in the future.
THE matters presented to the
grand jury IN Jan. 1886, were not
deemed sufficient upon which 10
base an indictment of the accus-
ed persons. Nor did the Septem,
ber grand jury think so. But du-
ring the summer Of 1856 a strange
thing came to pass. Investiga-
iion of rumors were made, and
the Ohio Penitentiary was point
ed 10 as the place where the for
gerry had been committed. Many
believed in the theory, others
opposed it just as violently. Suf-
flee it to say that after IL great
deal of inquiry, which resulted
in many sensational develop
ments connected with Peniten-
tiary matters outside the tally
sheet forgery investigation, there
was deemed sufficient evidence
on which to force prosecution.
"The September grand jury
had failed 10 indict, and accord
ingly the Prosecuting Attorney
determined 10 take matters in
his o0n hands. AS a result of
this resolve, warrants were sworn
out on Oct. i23, 1856. for the ar
rest of r. B. Montgomery, B. H.
Otto Horn, Algernon
and Fred Steube. The
arrest of these men and the pros.
ecution was all in the line of
furnishing the supposed perpe-
traitors of the forgery.
"Yet this proceeding in a low
er court was directly the result
of what seems 10 have been a
deep laid scheme of two convicts
