MORE shameful doings of the grand
old party, as is learned from special
dispatch to the Columbus Dispatch
from Washington. The dispatch says,
dated Sept. 18th:
Ohio's Secretary of the Treasury has
found 'mares' nest" in his depart
ment in the way of clerks who have for
years been farming out" their posi-
tions to substitutes. He has discovered
that number of them have not been
filling their places personally and reg
ularly for two or three years, and that
they have managed, by means of sick
leaves, to work their places so as to
clear good profit. He found a clerk
in Sixth Auditor Coulter's office, W.
d. Blackburn, by name, who has been
absent from his desk for a year and a
half in Pennsylvania, editing a news
paper. He has had sick leave, speci-
flying vertigo as his complaint.

"Look here" vciously howed an irate sub
rcriber to Nor WEBSTER, 81 take every pa
per in Heny county and have read a half
dozen times that John Jones was down
from Defiance yesterday Now I've just
about got that by heart. swear that will
stop every paper but one-when you read one,
you read 'em all, says l."
1t is hard to tell what this man would have.
The fact that John Jones spent yesterday in
Defiance is incontrovertible; also, it is very
difficult to couch said factin any other syntax.
1t wouldn't sound just right to say: John Jones
-Defance--yesterday nor tell our readers
that John Jones took Napoleon up to Defiance
to spend the day with it, 1t certainly is
hard to please some people.

Commissioner.

That farmers make good commits
sioners, has been practically demon
strated for years. The commissioners
come in contact with the agricultural
element and his wants ten times to a
townsman's once. For this reason a
farmer, or one with some experience in
farming, is often more competent for
the duties of this office than some of
his city brethren.
Levi King is farmer and, indeed,
representative one, having good edu-
cation in both schools and the practi-
cal part of this life. He is general
favorite among all classes, having made
his canvas in gentlemanly manner.
saying nothing derogatory ofhis fellow
asprants. Hence, there are no "sore-
heads;n there are none of the defeated
candidates who treasure any ill-will
towards the successful candidate. He
has even made friends of them, and
that his election is assured we have
not the most remote doubt.
Treasurer.
When the time comes that even the
opposite party will "fall too and extol
an official, then, if ever in the turbu-
lent sea of political lite we find man
who is exempt from partisan criticism,
we certainly have one.
Such record has John G. Groll, the
present treasurer of Henry county and
the nominee of the Democratic party
for the customary second term. He
has made an exemplary official, treat
ing the voters with the utmost con-
sideration regardless of politics or
creed. He is spoken highly of by Re-
pubIicans as the fact that it was with
difficulty that man could be found in
the Republican party who was willing
to make the race with him. That the
office of treasurer will always remain
in as competent and trustworthy hands
as at present, we sincerely hope.
Prosecuting Attorney.
Jas. P. Ragan, Esq, is the nominee
for this responsible office.
Should the electors of Henry county
base the disposition of their ballots on
the fitness of the man for the office; and
if "Jims" past record is any crvsterion,
he would receive hundred per cent. of
the votes polled in November.
The office of prosecuting attorney is
an important one, as well as difficult
one to fill, it requiring an all-round
legal ability, of which the present in
cumbent has oft proven himself to
possess. AS criminal lawyer, the
large number of criminals now expia-
ting crimes in Columbus, will testify to
his standing in this line.
Mr.. Ragan has many friends in both
parties, having been raised in Henry

Our worthy ex-auditor Chas. Evers is
much filled with wrath. 1t seems that two
men from Southern Henry made their ap-
pearance in his Office last week and asked
him to tie them in the holy bands of matri-
mony. He was thunderstruck and for a time
could not find words to express his ire at such
an unnatural request. The fellows we're con-
fused and bashful; they therefore remained
silent until Charley explained the great mis-
take they were making. After he had finish
ed his elaborate kick against such procedure,
they finally comprehended the situation and
made haste to state that their betrotheds were
down stairs. "Well then," said Mr.. Evers
Ego to j. p" "You are the j. P we want"
they said, and it was with difficulty that they
were persuaded that he was an insurance
agent and not Justice.
Some of Charley's friends had been putting
up job on him. He is looking after 'em with
a stuffed club.

Cork, Nov. 7.--Irishmen are now SET
ting the question OF the seat in the
house Of commons made vacant by the
death of Mr.. Parnell. The Pa-nellite
candidate is Mr.. John e. Redmond,
while Mr.. Martin Flavin stands for the
McCarthyite interest. The days work
was opened with vigor, about fifteen
hundred votes beig cast in the first
hour. The streets are full of noisy,
horseplaying, but, SO far, fairly well be-
haved crowds of people, Nevertheless
the accustomed blackthorn peeps out
from beneath many a coat tail,
and there are not wanting evidences
that many hundreds of the
throngs who patrol the streets
are anything but averse to an engage
ment of blows. There are plentiful po-
lice guards in close proximity to the
voting booths, and strong reserves are
held in readiness for prompt service at
the station houses. In addition to these
precautions, there is an ample military
force in the city prepared to immedi-
ately reinforce the police should such a
course become necessary.
CORK, Nov. 7.-Several rows have
occurred here during the day, and
finally the police arrived upon the
scene, and they, together with detach.
ment of infantry, drove back the Nc
Carthyites whs were responsible for thu
disorder. A line was then kept open tt
permit of the Parnellites depositing theil
ballots.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE officers Of
the Third Artillery regiment stationed
at Washinnton barracks, 10 this city,
are experiencing, in mild form the
|tribulations of the Grenadier guards Of
the British army. The men belonging
to two batteries Of the Third artillery
make serious complaint Of the quantity
and quality of rations issued to them,
and threaten to bring the matter before
the war department IL the cause Of COM
plaint is not reinedied. According to
their story the rations are poor, badly
cooked and insufficient in quantity.
Notwithstanding the fact that the re-
vised army regulations prescribe an In
crease of rations, the men claim
they have received no increase.
When the complaints reached
the Office Captain Smith, OF
Battery r called one Of the complain
ants and after questioning him ordered
increased fations issued to the men with
Instructions that they were to do theil
own cooking, The officers Of Battery
H tell an entirely different story. Al
far as known they believe there is little

tory in the matter of regulations Of tn,

unreasonable complaints was to issue

The Ohio Senator ON the Result OF the
Election.
MANSFIELD. o., Nov.6.-Senator Sher-
man was seen at his home and asked his
views on the election. He said: II am
inclined to believe that we have won a
great victory. In many respects it is
but an Endorsement or echo Of the fight
Of 1875, upon the financial question.
President Hayes and myself then made
an issue for the honest dollar and this
election In our commonwealth only
shows how the people of this state are
true to the best elements of all life.
don't mean to say, however, that the
tariff has not played an important part
in the game. So far as the Republican
party is concerned this result In Ohio
likes the silver question as one of the
issues Of the next presidential contest
and decides so far as this state is con-
ceyned. am conviced that free coin
age bill viii be passed by the
congress which meets in December.
also believe that such bill as viii be
framed will be vetoed by President Har.
rison. That win naturally make free
silver the feature of the next presiden
tial fight. In fact 1t will be the leading
issue upon which there are vast differ
ences of opinion in both parties. doubt
very much whether the Democracy il
national convention viii proclaim fol
free coinage. Ii they should there viii
be no other issue of significance in thu
next campaign. / am not at all dis
turbed as to the result in New York. Ii

that Mr.. Platt's power lies in tn,
