IN the language of the inexperi-
enced and hyperbOlic photographer,
on Saturday evening dense cloud
Of sadness settled down upon our
usually cheerful city. 1t hung Ike
q funeral pail over the devoted
heads If the people, who, 1t is pre-
RImed, had nc need to so to the
nataJorium, having ample cause to
indulge in a briny bath Of tears.
The reason for this melancholic
condition was the news ofthe arrest
of Mr.. Patrick Henry Lannan on a
charge Of forgery. What made the
situation all the more distressing
was the fact that the allegation had
been preferred by one Of the gentle
mans political bed-fellows, Mr..
VIM. oehs. No wonder, In view Of
this "most unkindest cut Of all, y
everybody should have lifted up
their voices and exclaimed, GOch
hOnel sure and what's the matter
now2o
The reason Is made clear in the
account of the dramatic entertain
ment given in cur local columns.
The first act of it was performed on
Saturday evening. 1t was all about
the alleged dispatches from w. 4.
Pinkerton. 1t was important, for
political purposes, that they should
be shown to be genuine and not
spurious, hence the immolation Of
the magnanimous Mr.. Lannan, who
was placed, We believe voluntarily,
upon the altar of sacrifice for the
veal Of his party. AS nobody could
forger, not being that kind Of q man,
the performance was not all tragic,
partaking much Of the nature Of a
travesty, with Mr.. Ochs as the
hero and Ex-Governor West in the
role Of heavy villain.
The object OF the performance
was presumably not 70 show that
hr. Lannan was what he is incap-
able OF being-a forger-but that
the dispatches alleged to have come
from WA. Pinkerton, Of Chicago,
were unalloyed pllitical gold dust.
The basis Of the limitations made
that they were at least not all real
was the annexed, which appeared
in the Epening Tines, an organ Of
the "Liberal'' party. That the
reader may note the fact that the
7fntes declares that the dispatch
was received at Liberal headquar-.
tens" We insert the whole thing
entire including headlines and In
