Suit for damages has been entered
here against the owners Of the steamer
Pilot Boy for refusing to carry q white
man on a negro excursion, though he
had bought an excursion ticket. 1t

Private letters from North Carolina
here to-day are to the effect that the re-
publicans there, as in Virginia, are by
no means of one accord, and that the
negroes will not support the third
party. whose leaders have heretofore
been the most ultra and proscriptive
democrats.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1892-09-27

Mr.. BUCK, the Georgia republican
leader, like General Malone of Virgin
ia, advises the republicans of his State
to vote the third party ticket. South
ern democrats have always credited
some of the republicans in the South
with being actuated by political prin-
ciples, but that credit will be entirely
destroyed if the advice referred to he
adopted, for there is no single third
party demand that is not directly con-
trary to the declared principles of the
republican party.

OF ALL the immense number of fed

last week there must have been some
of those who robbed and burned this of

of not one of them induced him to bring

stole from the Office before he set fire
to it and prevented the citizens from
eStinouishing the names.

Samuel M. Taylor, of Urbana, who
headed the Republican State ticket this
year, is of Scottish extraction, but he is
himself a native Of Ohio and the county
in which he now lives. He is one Of the
most conscientious, careful and able
young leaders of the party in the state,
and he merits the recognition accorded
him for his, valuable services in the
Ohio House of Representatives during
the past five years. He was born on his
fathers farm in Concord township,
Champaign county, July "a. 1856. His
father, John Taylor, is native of Ar
country in 1922. "Mack," as he is fa-
miliarfy called, grew UP on the farm,
and in his early manhood taught school
until he secured sufficient funds to pay
his way through college. In January,
1879, he entered the Ohio Wesleyan
University, at Delaware, and graduated
from that institution in 1882. He stud
led law in Urbane, and afterwartl
graduated from the Cincinnati Law
School with distinction in 1884. He
was nominated for Representative by
the Republicans in 1887, and elected by
handsome majority. Again, in 1889,
he was reelected by an increased ma
jority, and last year he was reelected
by such a majority as has never been
given to any man in his county. Dur
ing his service in the house he was al
ways member of the Finance Com
mittee. and every man who served with
him gave him the highest praise for his
industry, energy, and his efforts to pre-
vent unnecessary or extravagant expen-
ditures. When Speaker Laylin an
nounced his committees last January,
Mr.. Taylor was named as chairman OF
the Finance Committee. His services
in that capacity were such that every
Republican can refer to them with sat
isfaction and pride. The amount Of the
appropriations, under Mr.. Vaylor's su.
pervision, is 500, 900 less than under the
Democratic administration, and none oi
the State institutions will. suffer on &C
count Of the reduction. He made saw
ings in ways which other chairmen 81
finance committees never thought of. II
his canvass for Secretary of State Mr.
Taylor had the support of the majority
of the Republican members of the Leg
islature, with whom he is popalal
leader. He has fine executive abilit,
and the affairs of his Office will be ad
mirably administered,

MYRoN 4. HERR1cK:

mfHON Is hEhhiSh' "
Above is likeness of the bright and
capable young business man who headed
the Republican electoral ticket in Ohio
this year. -.
Mr.. Herrick was born in Huntington,
Lorain county, O., in 1856. He lived ON
farm about fourteen years, attending
the district school in winter, and work
ing at such tasks as his age would per-
NIT during the long summer vacation.
In 1869 he moved to Wellington,
where he attended high school and
afterwards completed thorough collie
giate course at Oberlin and Delaware.
He taught school during vacations, and.
enough money to pay all his college ex-
penses. In 1875 he went to Cleveland,
where he studied law with Messrs. G.
E. and j. III. Herrick, and was admitted
to the bar in 1878. He practiced until
1886, meeting with much success, when
he became by election of the stockhold-
ers, secretary and treasurer of the Soci-
ETY. for Savings. one of the largest, safest
and most successful institutions of its
kind in this or any other country.
Founded in 184S it has steadily increased
its business, until now it numbers thou
sands of working people among its de-
positors and safely handles for them de-
pos;ts exceeding GEL 200, 900. Mr.. Her
rick has done much to enlarge the busi-
ness of the Society, and in all probability
will one day become its president
In 1885 he organized the Euclid Ave-
nue. National Bank of Cleveland, with
which, we believe he is still connected.
He is also interested in several well
known and successful manufacturing
companies of the Forest City, few men
standing higher or being more generally
respected and admired in her business
circles.
Mr.. Herrick is not ambitious for po-
litical honors, and has never yet sought
or been candidate for any Office. Still,
he has served two terms in the City
Council. In 1881 he was delegate to
the Republican National Convention at
Chicago, and in 1889 was upon the Ohio
delegation to the Washington Centen-
nial in New York, by appointment of
Governor Foraker. He is at present a
member Of the Republican State Execu-
tive Committee, having served in that
capacity for several years, and been of
p.uch assistance to the party. He was
appointed a member Of Governor Nc
Kinley's personal and military staff last
January, and at the Republican State
Convention was nominated by acclama-
ton as one Of the two Electors-at-large.

William t. Spear, the present Chief
Justice OF our Supreme Court, was born
in Warren, o., June 3, 1884. He at
tended the common schools and learned
the craft Of the printer. He learned his
trade in the Office of the Trumbull Whig
and Transcript. He worked for some
, time in that Office, and, subsequently 60
ing to the city of New York, was en-
ployed in the Office Of the New York
Herald. Leaving the Herald office the
young compositor worked in the book
house of the Appletons, and in that
house for time was proofreader.
He finally returned to Warren and
served as Deputy Clerk in the Probate
and Common Pleas Courts, During
this time he read law under the direc-
Governor of Ohio, but then Of the
Trumbull county Bar, and now Dean Of
the Cincinnati Law School. He after
ward graduated at Harvard Law School
and became member of the firm of
Cox & Ratliff. From 1854 to 1867
Judge Spear lived in Louisiana. Re-
turning to Warren in 1857 he was for a
time associated with Hon. John Hutch
ins and his son, the present Judge
Hutchins, Of Cleveland. In 1871 Mr..
Spear was elected Prosecuting Attorney,
serving two terms, and for two terms he
was City Solicitor of Warren. In 1875
he became associated in the practice of
law with G. A.. Harrington, and the
firm enjoyed an extensive practice. The
partnership was terminated in 1878 by
the election of Mr.. Spear to the Com
mon Pleas Bench. He was reelected in
1888, and in 1885 was elected to the Su-
preme Bench, succeeding Judge Ather-
ton, for short term, and in 1887 was re-
porninated without opposition, and
handsomely reelected.
AT the Cleveland convention he was
again renominated by acclamation, his
career on the bench having been highly
satisfactory, and distinguished for rare
industry, application and learning in

Jacob F. Burket, who was the Repub-
hcan candidate for the short term as
Supreme Judge, was born March 25,
1887, near Somerset, Perry county, o.,
son of Solomon Burl1et, who was Of
Swede descent.
When he was ten years of age his
father died, leaving widow with nine
children, of whom Jacob F. is the
youngest son. When he reached the age
of seventeen he removed to Findlay,
and was apprenticed to his brother-in-
law, Jacob Folk, for the purpose of
learning the carpenters trade. After
having worked for him thirteen months
his brother-in-law's health failed, where
upon, by mutual agreement, the indent-
ures were Cancelled. June 4, 1856, he
began teaching at Lewisville. Having
taught for three years he attended Sc
lect school at Vanlue. Completing his
term he returned to his trade for a time,
summer and teaching school in the win
ter, and attending school in the fall and
spring. In 1859 he entered an academy
at Republic, Seneca county. Mr.. Bur
ket thus received q thorough aiming in
logic, which has been of great advant-
age to him in the legal profession. June
30, 1859, he commenced reading law
with Judge Palmer, and, having re-
manned with him a. little more than a
year, he entered the Office of Colt 8
Brown, and on July /. 1851, he was ad-
mitted to the bar, and commenced the
practice of his profession at Ottawa,
Putnam county, where he remained un-
til April, 1862. He then opened an Of
flee in Findlay, and September Z, of that
year, entered into partnership with
Henry Brown, under the firm name OF
Brown & Burket, which was dissolved
May l., 1869, since which time he has
been alone in his practice. Mr.. Burket
has an extensive practice in the State
and Federal Courts, and has encoun.
tered some Of the most distinguished
lawyers in the country. He is a stock.
holder and Director in the First Ma.
tional Bank of Findlay, and was Di.
rector Of the Findlay Savings and Build.
ing Loan Association, and has acted as
attorney for both institutions. He has
conducted much litigation for the latter
and never lost case. He was married
in 1859 to Miss Pamy D. Walters, oi
Lenawee, Mich. They have six chill
dren. He was one of the Electors in the
Presidential contest Of 1886, and yet has in
his possession the tickets by him voted

The principal incidents in the life of
Captain Edwin l.. Lybarger, of Coshoc-
ton, the Republican candidate for Clerk
of the Supreme Court, may be briefly
narrated as follows: He was born in
1S41 in Wayne county. o., received an
academic education in Wildwood Acad-
emy, and was preparing for college
when the war broke out. He at once left
the school room, and enlisted in the For
ty-third O.V. I. as private, early in 1851
mot for three months merely, but for
the war;" be it three years or thirty. He
was badly wounded at Corinth, October
4. 1889, but remained with his command
rather than go North to hospital. He
Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant
and Captain, serving first with the old
Army Of the Mississippi, under General
Pope; afterwards in the Army Of the
Tennessee, and following the fortunes
of General Sherman on his march from
Atlanta, and thence through the Caro-
inas to participate in the Grand Review
at Washington. .f,i
On his final discharge from the army.
after four years. hard service, he read
law with Hon. William R. Sapp, at Mt.
Vernon, and was admitted, but did not
enter the practice. Instead he engaged
in mercantile pursuits. and has now
been in business as a country merchant
for more than twenty years. Some
years ago he began farming on quite a
large scale, and for several years past
has given his time principally to sheep
husbandry. He is among the largest
woolbuyers in his section of the State,
and is deservedly popular with the
farming community.
In politics Captain Lybarger's record
has been equally creditable and compli-
mentary. He cast his first Presidential
vote for Lincoln, and he has voted for
every State and National Republican
candidate in Ohio since. He was elected
to the Legislature from the strong Dem
ocratic county Of Coshocton in 1875,
and was the Republican Candidate for
Congress from the Sixteenth District in
! 1883, largely reducing the Overwhelming
Democratic majority, but failing Of an
election. In 1875 he was delegate TO
