A REMARKABLE MAN.
(Argosy 2Ist Febraary.l

The de ath occurred recently at Ballarat
of James Esmond, the diScoveIer of gold in
Au stralla. Esmond resided at Port Phillip
prior to 1849, in June of which year he pro-
ceeded to California, where he observed a
similarity bel ween the soil and surround
ings of that country and those of Clunes, in
Victoria. He at once resolved on return
ing to Port Phillip to prospect for gold at
Clunes, and his operations were crowned
with success. His fist find of gold was at
CluneS on the Goth of June 1851. Samples
were sent to Geelong, and ii report OF the
discovery and subsequent finds was publish
ed on July 8, 1851. Subsequently followed
the exciting period which was characteris-
ed by the gold discoveries at Ballarat and
other rlaces and the Influx of population
from all quarters OF the world. Esmond took
part in The revolt at the Eureka Stockade,
and was present at the memorable encounter
between the British troops and the diggerS
m December, 1854. ESmond died in very
poor ciIcumStan GEES, and for tue last few
years had been dependent on the charity

FAfTENED DorAaH.

Billy Cappeller's paper at Mansfield
the home of Senator Sherman, is called
the News. 1t is furiously frantic fol
Foraker for Senator. We publish one
of Williams latest pungent paragraphs
on this great contest. 1t seems to close
with an original expression, "fattened
dotage." Now if Democratic journal
should refer to Honest John as a "fat-
tened dotage," " it would be construed as
slanderous. But let us hasten to give
the paragraph entire:

papers friendly to Governor Foraker are
referring to the Sherman organs as "the
rag. tag and bob-tailn of the Republican
party of the state. Governor Foraker's
friends stand we'll in line under fire, and
it might be well not to incur fusilade,
and cannonading of infantry, cavalry,
gun.boats and artillery that is liable to be
set in active motion by the indiscretion OF
fattened dotage."
Now, if we had our choice, we seri-
ously think that the term "fattened
dotage" is more sarcastically killing
than "rag-tag and bob-tail." AS the
present senate Is now made up, how
ever, on the millionaire side, little
more "bob-tail" would make the array
of "fattened dotage" more attractive to
the great struggling army of "outs" in
Ohio, of which Billy Cappeller is one.

following on cold blooded and grab

John;
"The terrific howls of the supporters
of Senator Sherman in Ohio just now,
is that of men selfishly working for
their personal interests. For practic-
ally thirty years Mr., Sherman has con-
trolled the federal patronage of Ohio,
and has used it where it would do him
the most good, irrespective of the pros
perity of the Republican party. The
howl for his reelection is simply an eff
fort to have political appointments in
this state confined to his political
friends-nothing more"

IN their address to the people of the
United States the bosses of The so called
Peoples Party say: "The people per.
ceive that there is room in this country
for only two political parties-a party
which represents the people and party
which represents the plunderers of the
People" And yet in Ohio, certain
emissaries of the Republican party, one
of whom holds fat Office under Secre
tary Foster (Col, Brigham, of
Fulton county,, organized the So
called Peoples party. They organ
lied it largely in the Democratic
counties. Then they nominated
a Democrat for Governor and made the
fight in the Democratic counties. In
other counties like Stark, the few good
and sincere men in the movement were
betrayed and sold out by boodlers, who
were in the movement solely for Re-
publican cash. 1t is true, there are
only two parties in the county, the
party of the people-the Democratic
party and the party that plumbers the
people-the 6. o. p. In Ohio the plum
derers of the people bought the offices
with spot cash, some of the leaders OF the
Peoples party, in order to make the
plunder Of the people more complete.

1T MEANS BLAINE.

1t is claimed that the Republicans of

largest circulating and most influential

editorial in the Tribune, a few brief
years ago, when Blaine was candidate
for President, before convention in
which he was nominated and after
wards defeated. Read the extract
carefully and ponder it well:

We are under obligations to Hon.
James M. Ashley for pamphlet copy
of his able and interesting address be-
fore the Ohio Society OF New York.
We have lald it aside, after careful
reading, for an elaborate review. 1t Is
by far the most interesting document
we have seen this year, bearing on cur
rent political topics. Governor Ashley
served for ten years in Congress, coy-
ering the terrible period of anti-slavery
contention, preceding the War of the
Rebellion, and he was conspicuous
leader ON the floor of the House, and a
friend and adviser of Abraham Lincoln,
during the entire conflict of arms.
Since the war he has grown and ripen-
ed in intellectual vitality and he now
takes higher and broader view of the
political situation than any other Re-
publican leader. He recommends sew.
eral amendments to the Constitution of
the United States. One providing for
the abolition of that useless Office known
as Vice President, and one providing
for the election OF the President by
majority vote of the people.

HARRISON Is WORKING FOR DEL
EGATBS I'm THE SOUTH.

HARRISON is now working up dele
CATION in the South. Patronage and q
little spot cash will do wonders for a
colored delegation in that section.
John Sherman secured 125 delegates in
the south at the Chicago convention, at
a trifle over $4,000. These delegates
stuck by him nobly for six days, but at
the end of that time Sherman refused
to put up any more and Gen. Alger
purchased 65 of his delegates, at about
$4,000. Some of the Mississippi dele
CATION got as high as $1,000 delegate.
Manhood suffrage at a great National
convention, invariably comes high. AS
Alger is looking after Blaine's inter
ests in the south, Harrison will
probably have to use large number of
his surplus office holders and give up
about quarters salary (S12,50O) to
make a sure thing of the southern
delegation to Minneapolis.
