Banker ard ex Senator f. G. Holmes, of
Detroit, came down from Northern Mime
sofa yesterday and mingled tears with Hon.
j. C. FLYNN, Of Little Fails Mr. Flynn seems
10 take his defeat as smilingly IS he usually
does success, wherein he is far ahead of the
Becker county statesman. Senator Holmes
is decidedly sour over his defeat and
the success of Hon. Il. NJ. Probst-
field. Up to within a few days
of the election Mr.. Holmes felt the utmost
confidence in the success of his canvass: in
fact, he never dreamed OF defeat. This may
III measure explain his disappointment
over the result. Neither Senator Holmes nor
Representative Flynn spent great deal
of time i'll the hotel Hobbies yesterday-they
don't Ike to be sympalhized with by their
friends or gloated over by their political OPP
ponentS.

CHATS IN CORRIDORS.

Editor S. NJ. Owen, who came within an
Ece of being elected governor of Minnesota
rs the Alliance candidate, came over from
Minneapolis yesterday, and tarried around
The Merchants short time. He looked
rs happy as though he really had been
elected and declared that the Alliance party
had come to stay. 1t represented certain
principles. and was bound 10 stand by them
Dr so 10y the board. For these reasons he feels
eontident that the Alliance members
pf the legislature will not combine with the
representatives of either of the old parties
Rt the coming session. The Speakership they
will ask ard undoubtedly get. While the
farmers may not have quite as skillful par
liamentarians in their RANKS ~ have the other
parties, the fact thai he is an Alliance man
and farmer viii insure his election.
The constant talk about combinations be-
Tween the Alliance aud other parties is not at
nil TO Mr.. Owens liking, and he did not hesi-
tate to denounCe il. In his opinion. the very
salvation OF the movement demands that its
Representatives hold aloof from all entangle-
ments with other political parties.
sydney NJ Owen is to-day one of the most
popular public men the state. During the
time he spent at the Merchants yesterday lac
was surrounded by q small army of admirers,
and, INTACT, was quite The hon of the hour.
The phennme nal run he made for governor
was discussed ia every corner of the lobby,
and no end OF complimentary remarks were
made about him. And no wonder. He is a
strikinglS tlaRdseme man, so earnest and
sincere that he captures the hearts of those
who meet HIM in spite of themselves.

THE committee of the Committee of
Five Hundred of Cincinnati has issued
the following:
The Ryan bill opening the saloons on
Sunday passed the Senate at Columbus
last week and will no doubt soon pass
the House and become law unless the
friends of the American Sabbath, with
out regard to party, and the friends of
the temperance all over she State arouse
themselves and send petitions and letters
to their representatives. Effort at once
all along the line should be put forth to
save our State from the disgrace of a
legalized rum traffic on the Sabbath day.
The issue has been made. Shall we
stand by the American Sabbath or by
the un-American saloon? The spirit of
our forefathers will rise up and condemn
US if we fail to perpetuate the trust be-
slowed upon us in this enlightened age.

GOLDEN WEDDING OF A FORMER RESI-
DENT OF BELMONT COUNTY.
The golden wedding of Mr.. end Mrs.
John II. Thompson was celebrated at
their home in Washington City on the eve
ming of March 1, and was a very pleasant
affair Mr.. Thompson is well known
throughout Belmont county, having been
formerly a resident of st. Clairsville, and
at one time editor and manager of the
Independent Republican. His many
friends here will be glad to hear of his
continued excellent health, and, although
he has reached the age of y years, and
his hair is silvery white, he has lost none of
that erect carriage and soldierly bearing
which characterized him among his ac-
auaintanceS. The following account of
the event we clip from the Washington
Post:
At the celebration of the golden we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Thompson
at their residence, 14l5 q street, on Tues
day evening last, the family was repre-
sented by three generations: Mr.. and
Mrs. Thompson, three daughters, Mrs.
Fillmore, Mrs. Clarke, (the wife of for
mer Belmont county bOy-J B. Clarke
who is now engaged in the newspaper
business in Washington, and Miss
Thompson, one son, Mr.. Richard Thomp-
son. and two grandchildren, John W. and
Herbert T. Clarke. In the reception of
their guests they were assisted by the fol
lowing ladies: Miss Kirby, Mrs. Augustus
Crenshaw, Mrs. Patterson, Miss Sagrario,
daughter of the Secretary of the Spanish
legation: Miss Walsh and Miss COOney.
The decorations of the entire house
were elaborate and handsome. Choice
varieties of pOtted plants and flowers fill
ed every corner, the parlor looking like a
fairy bower with its evergreens, flowers,
and other decorations. The dining-room
was ablaze with vari-cOlored lights. The
table was handsomely decorated. Several
pieces of Cardella's band were stationed
in the bay window, and rendered sweet
music throughout the entire evening.
The Oldest Inhabitants Association, of
which Mr.. Thompson is Vice President,
carried out its time-hOnored custom on
such occasions and presented him with a
handsomely-engra gold-headed cane,
President Maubray delivering the address.
Following in the footsteps of this happy
incident came another. Doctor Culver,
in neat address, and in behalf of the
office associates of Mr.. Thompson, of the
Second Auditors Office, presented the
rather Unique gift of fifty 81 gold pieces,
to which the recipient made very feeling
response. The presents were numerous,
among them being very handsome one
from the Session of the Unity Presbyter:
ian Church. The reception was largely
attended, and from s until IL o'clock a
perfect stream of relatives and friends
were coming and going. Among the
number were many prominent in both
official and social life.

THE passage in the Ohio Senate of a
bill which will also pass the House au-
thorizing the opening of saloons in the
cities on Sundays, is a direct result of
the casting of $4,000 Prohibition votes
in Ohio last fall which had the effect of
electing the present Democratic General
Assembly. If our Prohibition brethren
are satisfied with their destruction OF
reasonable temperance legislation, they
are welcome to all the glory they can
get out of it.

to the chairman of the unemployed

that the war department could not issue

law to do so. Secretary Proctor ex-
planned that only in emergencies, result
ing from famine, pestilence. floods, etc.
and when the calamity or suffering was
so great that the local authorities could
not cope with it, could rations be fur.
nished to needy people. In the present
instance the local authorities had moi
declared their inability to cope with the

IT is not uncommon for the man who
objects to public improvements that en-
tail heavy expense to be hooted at, but
he is a good person to have around oc-
casionally, to aid in preventing public
debt from being piled up until it becomes
a burden. There are still many improve
ments needed in Belmont county, but
the question arises, can we afford them
now? A large majority of taxpayers
are demanding a halt in the matter OF
projecting public improvements and
bonding the county to meet the cost.

THE indianapolis Journal observes
that "there is probably only one thing
on earth more crooked than the district
lines drawn by the new Democratic
gerrymander in Ohio, and that is the
Ohio Democracy itself" There are
strong prospects that the full power OF
the people will be exerted at the next
election to strsighten out Democratic
crookedness. Ohio has never been
known to endure in succession two such
Legislatures as the present one.

Use in Speculations.

Use in Speculations.
New YORK, March SIT has been
learned that Pell, Simmons, Wallack
and the other bank wreckers used the
Asbury Park IN. j. National bank in
their check-kiting operations. Sigmund
Meyer, whose connection with the
wreckers has been alleged, was interested
in the Asbury Park concern. 1t does
not appear that the bank lost anything
by the operations Of the wreckers, but
the fact that there were business trans
actions of the kind referred to led the
national bank examiner to inquire into
the condition of the bank, and this re-
suited in the discovery that the presi-
dent, George w. Byram. had loaned the
banks funds to himself for use in real
estate speculations to the extent of
$500 The banks capital is 500, 900,
and the law permits only 10 per cent. of
this amount to be loaned in the manner
that Byram had loaned it. Byram is
making the amount good and the bank
will doub less be allowed to continue
business,

The time for holding the spring elect
