Ohio. only had one regret and that
was I failed to get to Columbus to call
upon my friend Gov. MeK-,of course
he was very much disappoipt ted when
he learned of my having been in the
State and did not call upon him, but
my next visit there I shall try to i'm
prove aud call.
Our city just now is very quiet, and
business dull, yet we hope that after
while things will look up.
We have several marriages on hand
and by the time you hear from me

ing the training quarters Of Corbett and

indicated that he alone knew where
Mitchell would do his preparatory work
for the great fight. Hackett, however,
failed to let those about him know the
point where the Englishman will go af-
ter reaching Jacksonville. 1t was ap-
parent to all that Hackett was booming

tural organizations. At the late session
an appeal was made to President Cleve-
land to re-establish the friendly relations
which have been sundered by the pecu-
liar attitude of his secretary with the
