Field Marshal Murat Halstead has
written a labored communication to the
New York Herald, in which he takes the
ground that the abandonment of Radi-
calism by Judge Gresham, Hon. Wayne
MacVeagh and Judge Cooley are bless
ings in disguise to the Republican party.
Mr. Halstcad, in addition to being Field
Marshal, is evidently ambitious TO 60
down TO history as the greatest political
Mark Tapley of the century.
The grand jury sitting in the Home
stead cases seems TO be the most accom-
modating body in the world They have
not only found true bills against the
rioters for treason. but against II. G..

heavy spanner of my machine and put my
back to tree when, to my delight the wolves

Compliments to Congressman Dun
gan,

The Democratic convention OF
Scloto county passed resolutions en-.
dorsing Mr.. DUNCAN The Ports
mouth Times voices the sentiment
of his district in the following:
The Democratic convention OF
Monday last did an entirely proper
thing in welcoming Hon. IRVINE
DUNCAN to this district and instruct
ing the congressional delegates to
vote for him, should be desire a
nomination. Before Jackson county
got into the same district with Scioto
many times was Mr.. DUNCAN called
to lend his services to the latter's
Democracy, and not one single time
did he fail to respond to the call.
Now that the time has come to show
its appreciation of work that seemed,
when SO freely given, without any
other possible reward than the sat
isfaction of helping out friends,
Scioto county shows she does ap-
preciate and not forget favor and
stands ready at the first opportunity
to reciprooate.
The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1892-06-23

1t is known to all our graduates
that there was once journalist, a
writer of the story of Paris and
Helen for the SENTINEL of his own
time, whose reputation was SO un-
settled that no city paper owned
him while he lived but after nom-
mated on the ticket of the stars,
seven towns claimed him, dead.
1t is not exactly SO with Bill Taylor
of ours. He controlled the SENTINEL
for twenty years and made his fame
and his papers eternal in the Illiad
of Matheny, living all the while.
Now that he is exalted in the eyes
of men to to the place he long has
held in the sanctum sanctorum of
the SENTINEL, ten times seven vile
contemporaries set up claims on his
acquaintance. Johnny Meloy of the
New Lexington Hearld says he and
Bill Taylor went fishing on Buckeye
when both were boys, and while
Johnny fished, Bill wrote poetry,
which was first printed in the Linn
erick correspondence of the Demo
cratic organ. Ed Davenport of the
Logan Republican Gazette, presents
his account this way: "Once met
Taylor and borrowed a quarter. He
took my printers stick as security,
and has the stick yet" The Zanes-
vile Irvine Signal has an Acrostic
link that binds it to our candidate
in close entwinement. Tom Wetz-
ler of the Lancaster Eagle says Bill
Taylor is never happy until he nest
les in the columns of the motterly
bird. The Enquirer dates its aud
Taylor's new era from the time the
faxen- haired hanger-on, sent to re-
port prize6ght, took the part of
one of the principles SO as to get
the best understanding of the local
and got SO badly broken up in the
mill, and so completely paralized
the world with the illustrated report
that fame and fortune, after brief
suspension of paper and reporter,
followed and continues ever since.
Other papers, too numerous to
mention are fling claims. That is
correct, brethren, the SENTINEL is
not selfish, and Our Taylor is big
enough to encompass all the papers
IN this great country. The other
Taylor candidate in the coming
election is known and regarded only
as the scape goat of an anti Foraker
convention,
