GRANTS MEMORY FOR FACES.
Charles p. Bryan, in America.
On his return from the tour around
the world, at the reception rendered him
in New York, General Grant invited the
Bishop of Minnesota to receive with him.
People by the thousands streamed by,
mostly unknown to the General. One
lady especially attracted his attention as
she approached. General" she said,
"you do not remember me-" "Yes,
madame, do; met you at moment
GUS crisis in my life; wait, do not tell me
when" and he paused to think; then, with
flashing eye, as if echoes of booming can
non stirred his soul: " 1t was just before
the last engagement at Vicksburg, prior
to the surrender; stopped you as you
were hurrying from the city as L ap-
preached it on foot. l asked you some
questions, which you answered in con-
siderate manner, betraying good breed
ing and Southern sympathies, but not
your cause"

THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1889.
IT was said some Democratic rufians

IT was said some Democratic ruffianS
gathered at the railway station at London
on the night Judge Pugh was expected
to take the train for Columbus, after the
close of the Allen o. Myers trial, with
the intention of egging him. But the
Judge did not go home until the follow
ing morning, and the opportunity for an
other great Democratic victory was miss
ed. Thereupon the Mansfield Shield and
Banner remarks:
/ Judge Pugh narrowly escaped Christ
mas present in the shape of shower of
ancient hen fruit after the tallysheet trial
at London. o., last week. Phew! that
would have been tough on Pugh.
The same paper further remarks:
Pulling barrister Huling, who was chief
conspiratOr in the tally-Sheet cases just
nollied at Columbus after two dismal fail
ureS to convict, is now suffering the ScOrn
of his own party, whose plant tool he was,
as well as the contempt of Democrats and
honest men in Columbus. Perfidy and
pusillanimity are a striking combination
in Huling's character. The Republicans
of Columbus are, if possible more thor
oughly disgusted with the man than the
Democrats, and they are circulating pc
tition asking him to resign. 1t is great
pity that Pugh, who presided at the tally
sheet farceS. could not be made to resign.
He is a fraud, worse, if possible, than
Huling.
The crime for which Myers was put
upon trial was conspiring with others to
forge and alter the election returns of a
precinct of the city of Columbus, adding
300 to the votes lawfully cast for candi-
dates upon the Democratic ticket, in the
fall of 1885. The conspirators failed to
add enough to carry their ticket through,
and failed in getting the forged figures
counted.
The forgery was in the interest of the
Democratic party. No one disputes that.
And the purpose was the control of the
Legislature, the defeat of Senator Sher-
man, the election of John R. Mclean to
a seat in the U. S. Senate. and, the con-
spirators hoped, the control of that body.
That was the game they were playing
for. With the exception of the Steaben-
UilIe Gazette, the Democratic newspapers
of Ohio were either as dumb as oysters
about the crime or busted themselves in
throwing obstacles in the way of unearth-
ing it. The Shield and Banner was of
the latter class, and now it circulates an
absurd lie about the Prosecuting Attor
ney and applauds planned assault on
the trial Judge with rotten eggs. 1t has
helped do exactly what Judge Thurman
so earnestly protested against IN the trial
of one of the conspirators last spring
taken the burden of the crime from the
shoulders of those who perpetrated it,
and placed it upon the Democratic party,
and there it will remain forever.

DEATH OF GEN. H. H. DODGE.

Cleveland Leader, I'd.
The death of Gen. Henry H. Dodge
occurred last night at his home at No.
$50 Euclid Avenue. He was widely
known, and the announcement of his
death will occasion profound regret in a
large circle of friends. Gen. Dodge, a
son of Samuel Dodge, was born in this
city August 10, 1910. His educational
advantages were limited, but he availed
himself of such as were within his reach.
Under the tuition of Hon. Harvey Rice,
then Just from Williams College, he stud
led the ordinary branches of learning and
civil engineering, with a view to follow
ing it as a vocation. He was employed
for a time as an engineer in the construc-
ton of the Ohio Canal and other public
works and left the service to study the
law with Hon. John W. Wiley, one of
the ablest lawyers in the State. In 1884
he was admitted to the bar and formed
partnership with his preceptor. In the
following year he married Miss Mary
Wiley, then recently from Boston, and
neice of Judge Wiley. In 1888 he was
admitted in Washington to practice IN
the Supreme Court, and in the same year
he was appointed disbursing agent of the
United States on the public works form
| ing the harbors on Lake Erie. He held
the position until change in the admin
istration occurred in 1S4l. During the
"patriot war" the Legislature elected
and the Governor commissioned him Ma
ior- General of the Ninth Division of the
Ohio Militia. In 1850 he was appointed
engineer in charge of the Ohio, the Wal
honding, and the Sandy and Beaver ca
nails, and he held the position, with the
exception of four years, until 1862. He
was appointed United States Commits
sioner upon the organization of the Uni
ted States Circuit and District Courts for
the Northern District of Ohio. In poll
ties he was of the old Democratic school.

PENNSYLVANIA people are considering
the practicability of utilizing prison labor
in building and improving roads. This
is matter worth considering in Ohio
Suppose the convicts in the penitentiary
could be used in rebuilding the National
Road, how long would it require to put it
in as good condition as it was when re-
ceived from the general government? and
what a mighty improvement it would be?
reaching clear across the the State from
Bridgeport to Springfield. The State SOL
emnly stipulated to keep it in like good
repair when it received it. But, instead,
convicts are hired to contractors, at 10
and II cents per day, and fed, clothed,
housed, and guarded at the expense of
the State. Contractors pile up great for
tunes from this cheap labor, and put the
wares made by the prisoners in competi-
ton with the products of the honest and
industrious mechanics of the State.
The Legislature now in session should
give this subject consideration.

A WORTHY SURPRISE.

Waterloo Qowa) Reporter.
S. NJ. Bentley, always obliging, willing
and ready to fill in the niche of necessity,
was given worthy surprise Christmas
night The friends of Grace Church, ap-
preciating his many services showed their
appreciation by entering his home during
his absence and ransacking his house
from top to bottom. They found all the
tin ware he possessed and after marking
their names on it presented it to him on
his return. Not being satisfied with this,
they took him to one side and presented
him with very handsome silver set, five
pieces in all. 1t was rather a funny trick,
but to our liking, and we hope Mr.. Bent
ley will be treated thus many times.
Mr. Bentley is a son of Solomon Bent
ley, and is well known to many people in
this part of Belmont county. He is an
excellent man, and we are glad to know
is appreciated at his Iowa home.

CONVICT LABOR ON ROADS.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch favors the
application of convict labor to the roads
of the country. No industry would be
disturbed by convict labor so applied
and there is much to be said in favor OF
it. The only serious objection lies in the
public spectacle of compulsory servile
labor under such restraint and guard as
would be necessary in the case of con-
victs.
