HE WAS A BAD MAN.

Asbury Park.
TALL AND LEAN WITH HANDY FIST

He Starts i'm to Paint the Town Red, and
Succeeds-An Attack on Negroes That
Brought the Razor Into the Game
An Attempt to Clean Out the Whole
Police Force Makes Lively Scene
ana Ends i'm the County Jail.
AsBURY PARK, n. j., June 2S-M. Geahy,
reputed to be a very bad man from the
Bowery, New York, appeared here Sunday
night and mingled in an enthusiastic af-
fray with five policemen on the great board
walk in full view of hundreds of the towns
summer visitors. Michael is rather lean
and tall young man, with an aggressive
nose and very handy fists. 1t seems that
he and friend, also from the Bowery, got
drunk enough to consider that they should
exercise the rights of proprieturship to the
city. So, when a dozen or so of colorsd
people walked quietly by the pair, they
began operations.
Stirred Up the Cottagers.
Leahy suddenly knocked four or five of
them down. The negroes attempted to
respond in kind, whereupon Leahy
whooped and promptly knocked quarter
of a dozeu of them off the board walk
razors and started at Leahy with the in
tention of killing him. Leahy screamed
for help one of the colored men slashed
him over the right ar.. The cries of the
combatants and Leahy's scream for help
caused great excitement and the cottagers
and hotel guests ran to the spot in crowds
from all directions.
Was Terror to the Force"
The entire beach police force, consisting
of five men, appeared, and after scatter
ing the angry negroes charged the Leahy.
The latter pitched into the force with
great vigor. He kicked one of them on
the head, another ON the shoulder, and
quite inadvertently knocked the third
one down. Amid the howls of the great
throng the struggle went on until the Off
GERS had succeeded in placing manacles on
Michael Leahy.
Gives En- Final Furry.
All bloody and tattered he staggered to
his feet and announced to the crowd: II
want you people TO understand that 1 am
not resisting an officer" After which he
threw his arms and feet in four distinct
directions and upset the same number Of
policemen. They dragged him to the sta
ton house. Yesterday morning the JUS
tice of the peace sent Michael to the coun-
ty jail to await Indictment.

National Committee Preparing Reports
of Growth-Arrivals.
CINCINNATI, June 2S.-The national ex-
ecutive committee of the Prohibition par
ty put in several hours yesterday prepar-
ing reports of the work accomplished in
the several states since the last national
campaign. That of Chairman Dickie will
make particular reference to the great
growth of Prohibition sentiment during
the past two years throughout the coun-
try, while National Treasurer Hastings,
of Wisconsin, will submit an elaborate
statement showing that the entire work
of organization and proselyting since J an
uary, 1889. has involved the expenditure
of $4,000.
Notables Getting in Slowly.
The only prominent arrivals of the past
twenty-four hours have been A. A Stevens,
the head and front of the movement in
Pennsylvania, and who is slated for either
temporary chairman or permanent chair
man, and Rev. W. II, BOole, of New York.
The national committee is in favor of a
short convention, and will so arrange the
programme that barring an undue tendency
on the part of the delegates to talk, final
adjournment can be taken on Thursday
evening.
Platform Will Require Breadth"
More trouble is anticipated in framing
a platform than in selecting the nomi-
nees. Judging from the resolutions
.dopted at the various state conventions,
the delegates will have widely divergent
views on the questions of woman's suf-
frage, silver and tariff. Tonight, however,
when most of them have arrived, an effort
will be made to harmonic the conflicting
elements so that the platform may salts
factorily cover all the "isms" of the mem
hers of the party outside of the prohibition
est ion proper.

DEFENSE OF QUAY AND DUDLEY.

ClarksOn Declares Them Men To BE
Loved and Honored.
The other officers were all elected by &C
clamation, and then after adopting a reso-
tion to carry out the national convention
rule regarding the executive committee,
the resolutions on the retirement of Clark
son, highly eulogistic, were presented and
adopted by rising vote In response to
calls Clarkson said: For the good will
and honor conferred by these resolutions
am deeply grateful. In 1884 we had a
hard working committee and lost; in 1888
we had harder working committee and
won. And to my knowledge no campaign
was ever conducted more cleanly, more
honestly, than the campaign of 1855

and hope there is no Republican in this
land who will ever cease to render due
honor to these two honorable men
Would Name His Boy After Them.
"And l want to say to you. gentlemen,
that upon my dying bed, before my family,
/ could not name two men more to be
loved and honored than Senator Quay and
General Dudley. / want to warn you,
gentlemen, against growing tendency in
the Republican party, under the hypocrisy
of the times, not to defend its party lead
ers. The cases of Senator Quay and General
Dudley afford vivid examples of this prac-
tice. So far as i am concerned, if / have
another boy to name l will be glad to con-
fer upon him the name of Quay or Ludley
And this is an evidence of my love and
affection for the men. AS to resolutions,
/ shall again thank you from the bottom
of my heart, and in conclusion state that
no man on the continent desires more to
help elect the Republican ticket, or will do
more, according to his ability, than l."
Called on the President
Resolutions were also unanimously
adopted expressing the love, respect and
confidence of the committee for its retir-
ing secretary, Fassett. Fassett acknow-
lodged the honor in happy little speech.
After adopting motion offered by Sena-
tor Carey, that the executive committee
be authorized to fill all vacancies occur

subject to the call of the chairman. The

SKETCH OF THE NEW CHAIRMAN.
He Makes No Noise But Is Very Wide
Awake All the Time.


CHICAGO, June 2S.-William J. Camp
bell, the new chairman of the Republican
national committee, is native of Phila-
delphia. His family came to Chicago
when he was young. Campbell's home has
always been in the city. He attended the
Northwestern university at Evanston. and
also entered the University of Pennsyl-
vania, but owing to ill health did not con
tinue in the latter institution beyond the
junior year Entering the office of the firm
of Goudy g. Chandler he studied law with
that firm. In 1879 he formed law part
nership with Jacob r. Curtis, under the
firm name of Campbell & Curtis, which
firm still exists.
Never Held but One Office.
Campbell has always taken an active
interest in politics, but has held but one
political position-that of state senator.
He was elected in 1873 and served eight
years. Jan. 5, 1881, he was elected presi-
dent OF the state senate and.in 1888 was
again elected. Campbell's residence is in
the suburb of Riverside, and he is presi-
dem of the village trustees. He is man
in the prime of life, of large proportions,
well known about town and of the class
of politicians who are undemonstrative,
but alert.

TOPEKA. Kan. June 2S.-The Kansas
delegates to the Peoples party convention
are inclined to look with distrust on the
presidential boom which has been started
for Judge Gresham. The delegates to
Omaha belong to that faction of the Peo-
ple's party who desire for candidates men
who have come out squarely for the Peo-
ple's party.

MORE RECORDS ALTERED
DOCUMENTS IN COUNTY CLERK
WARDS CUSTODY DOCrORED.
A Judgment the Matter Now in Ques-
tion-A Date Changed While the
Paper Was on the Om-
cial Files.

When Superior Judge Pierce, of San
Diego, removed County Clerk Gassoway,
he remarked, in his opinion, that it was
unfortunate that the disgraced official
had found it necessary to consult Mr..
Trowbridge H. Ward about the manner
of conducting his (Gassoway's) Office,
and that it was still more unfortunate
that he should have acted upon such
advice.
From what the public has seen, and
the HERALD has faithfully reported, of
Mr.. Wards manner Of conducting his
own Office. here in Los Angeles, it will
be easily understood how correct Judge
Pierce was in his structures.
Erasures in the documents of which
County Clerk Ward is the custodian, crop
up and bob up in manner highly un-
pleasant to him at unexpected moments.
Now it is found that judgment docket
has been meddled with for some unex-
planned purpose.
On the 18th day OF January, 1891, q
judgment was docketed against A. Glas-
sell. The one above it was dated Jam
uary 10Th, and the one below January
18th. The date IS in the Glassell judg-
ment was bunglingly erased SO that part
of it is still visible and the figure sub
stituted. Now, who did that, and why
are such things done? Can there be
any confidence reposed in records that
are everlastingly showing the hand Of
the forger?
Los Angeles herald., 1892-10-01
THIS is ALL Assy! glMsal,
And the Retaining Wall Of the
County Court House.
A Job That Superinduces Minute Cat
aracts and Cascades.
Why IL 1t Necessary That the Seams of q
Wall Should Eli with Silt In
stead OF Being Thor
oughly Cemented?

When the time approached to COM
plete the work OF the county court
house grounds, the Republican super
visors, fearing if the purchase of the
cement needed in the building OF the
retaining walls was left to the contract
or, it might not be of the quality that
the magnitude and Importance of the un-
dertaking warranted, bought the cement
themselves.
Yet, with this precaution, so little
cement was used in the building of the
building of the retaining walls that,
whenever any water is used in the court
house grounds, it seeps through the
seams Of the walls, as the sweat pours
from the face of stout man on hot
August day.
Anyone who is unwilling to take this
statement unuuestioned, has but to
walk along Temple and New High
streets on days when the court house
grounds are being watered, and ne will
be surprised at the number of bijou
waterfalls that spring from the walls
promiscuously, even az if the wand of
Moses had been applied to them.
The retaining walls of the court house
grounds have to stand an immense
immense amount of pressure and should
have been laid with particular care, and
this care included goodly amount
of cement. Now, since the county had
itself purchased the cement, through
its faithful servants, the Republican SUI
pervisors, it seems that the contractor
might have INDUCED his spirit of liber-
nlity in an unstinted manner in the ap-
plication of that necessary ingredient,
but that such was not the case is evident
enough from the statement made above.
Not longer than week ago the atten-
ton of one of the Republican board of
supervisors was called to the sweating
propensities of the retaining walls,
caused. as already explained by the in
sufficiency of cement, and he spoke
about the matter to the foreman of the
contractor.
This eminent mechanic replied that
that was all right, and explained that
after the waterfalls had had full play for
an undetermined period, sufficient silt
would have percolated into the seams,
so manifestly innocent Of cement, to fill
them.
The question now naturally arises,
What did the supervisors get the cement
for? 1t was not contemplated that the
retaining walls OF the court house grounds
should be built on the principle Of the
pyramid of Cheops or the Roman aque-
ducts of the old world, because the art
of building in stone and granite, without
the use of cement, is rather lost art;
and the fact that large quantities of ce-
ment was bought, indicates that the SUI
pervisors did not mean the court house
walls to be thus laid.
1t is claimed that but one-fourth Of
the cement that should have been used
in the mortar has been devoted to that
end, and now the question pertinently
occurs, If this be SO, what did they get
the cement for, and what will they do
with the cement that will necessarily
remain on their hands in the original
barrels, when the job is concluded?
