New York Convention.
~
NEW YORK, March 16.-The Tribune
says:
owing to the probability that Richard
Croker will not return home until some
time in May, the democratic leaders
have about decided to delay holding the
state convention, which is to elect four
delegates at large to the national con-
vention until the last week in that
month or the first week in June. The
state committee, which will fix a time
and place for holding the state conyen-
ton will probably meet in this city some
some time in April. BY that time it is
believed the exact time Of Mr.. Crokers
return will be known. Tammany seems
to have made few arrangements for the
approaching national convention. Ev-
erything is waiting for Richard Crok-
er's instructions.

A curious feature OF Washington

precious in time and who apply to the

several packages stored away with
strict iniuuctiops against opening them

century. Sometimes the contents OF

The latest is box which has been
placed In the care OF the Congressional

A very curious contribution to relig-

Archibald Hopkins, clerk OF the Court
of Claims and son Of President Mark

prove that the Apostles Greed is anti

While the people of this country
need not necessarily fall over them
selves In their efforts to be friendly
with England, it is just as we'll to
remember that the war of the revolu-

not just the same as in those days, and
that Dewey's ships at Manila were
without ammunition after the battle of

at the very time when the commander

to the United States, which will practic-

persons per month will be allowed to
to emigrate to this country from any

BY articles in the Toledo Times ii Il
made to appear that Perrysburg GENE
terry has been conducted in manner
that is anything but creditable to the
people Of this locality. Charges are
made OF selling lots q second time, o
removing bodies without consent O
relatives, of removing head stones, anG
other deeds OF greater or less impor
tance.
| The JOURNAL regrets that these ad
verse comments have been known foi
some time but have been omitted from
these columns awaiting an investiga
tion by those whose duty 1t is to look
into the matter.
The people of errysburg feel deep
interest in the village cemetery as it Is
the resting place o. one or more OF the
departed loved ones OF nearly every
family In the township, and it's precincts
are therefore looked upon as almost
sacred ground.
Mistakes may have occurred in the
management, 1t is true, but they are
small compared with the good work
that has been done. and whatever they
may be, the present board is eudeavor-
ing to have them located and rectified
as rapidly as possible.
One thing we may properly mention
as the duty Of every person interested,
is that II there is any wrong existing
the case should be reported to the prop
er authorities, specific charges made
and the matter properly investi-
gated, instead of rushing into public
print with long list Of insinuations
which, to those who are uIinformed,
may cast reflections upon the innocent
as we'll as the guilty. II wrong there
be, let those who are at fault stand all
the censure.
Now that the matter is brought up
before the public, the JOURNAL will
endeavor to furnish statement in
later issue, giving facts as CLEANED
from the Cemetery board and the SEX
ton in charge of the cemetery.
With whatever mistakes may have
occurred it should be remembered that
much excellent work has been done 10

pearance and general management OF
