ZN REGENT bulletin of the New WN York public library publishes
 document of interest bearing on the election of 1s44 when Henry Clay and Theodore Frelinghuysen were running as the whig candidates respectively for the presidency and vice-presideney. Clay had written to his associate on the ticket, under date of May 9, 1s44, asking his ad- vice as to the wisdom of making public Clay's views on a proposed change in the naturalization i-ws. On the back of this letter Is an indorsement by Frelinghuy- sen, which has not before been generally made known. It Is now brought out by the library bulletin as follows:
 I advised silence. But he subsequent ly wrote letter in favor of slavery. which lost him his election. It was dis honest attempt to win the south by let ter in favor of slavery. so late in the campaign. that 1t could not reach the north in time to affect the northern votel But it did reach us; and of course, very properly defeated the writer"
 Mir. Frelinhuysen evidently felt quite as bitter over Clay's Alabama letter favor ing the annexation of Texas as did the abolitionist whigs. and more so as caus- ing his own defeat as well as Clay's.
 But the charge against Clay of du- plicity is greatly overdrawn. He did not defer writing the Alabama letter until too late for it to reach the northern vot- CTS. On the contrary. he wrote early in July, and the election did not take place until November. He certainly did shift around in favor of Texas annexation for the purpose of strengthening himself in the south at the cost of his own consist ency, but he did so early enough in the campaign to give his letter as wide a reading in the north as it could have ob-

where the babies cried over each
other in the army of the Potomac.
The article, as published by the RE-

shed tears over the baby was a
brother of Joe Heffelfnger, of
Springfield. But it was Joe himself,
and he acknowledges the soft i'm

and you won't acknowledge it, but

the birds caught it off the wire and
it is about correct.

ROBBERS
Make a Big Haul Near
CriderSVille,
Augldize County. Saturday
Night.

Fourteen armed and masked men
entered the home of Mrs. Jacob
Reichenderfer, near Cridersville,
about eleven o'clock Saturday night,
knocked down George Iams and tied
him, his wife and grandmother and
their 12-year-old girl, blindfolded
them, and forced the little girl
to tell where the money was. They
then got $1,000 in drafts and notes
and 1920 in money from an old
chest. They staid till after mid
night, some of them getting meal
and tarrying till two o'clock. They
all-called the family by their given
names, and some of them were doubt
less from Wapakoneta, or the neigh
hood. They may belong to the "green
goods" gang that has been operating
in the north part of Logan and in
Hardin counties.
Money enough to ferret out all
these villains, should be appropriated
to hire detectives.

THE SITE
For the Public Library Pur
chased.
The Methodist Parsonage Corner
and the Lot South of
1t Chosen.

The Board of Education met Fri
day evening, and voted to purchase
the Methodist parsonage lot, south
east corner of Main and Sandusky,
and the Rutter lot, Immediately
south of it, for the site of the Public
Library. Four thousand is paid for
the parsonage lot, and g, 500 for the
Rutter lot. The selection of an
architect, adoption of plans, and let
ting of contracts will follow as rapid
ly as possible.
The Board carefully considered all
the suggestions made and all sites Of
fered, and, we think, have made a
wise decision. The price is a fair
one.
One of the papers invites more
trouble by suggesting that a name
be selected. ''The Public Library" is
all the name it needs, but if some
public spirited citizen wishes to con-
tribute $4,000 to have it named for
him or her, we think the offer would
be accepted.
The next thing we want in the
building line, will be a good Public
Hall of ample capacity and good
acoustic qualities. But we wouldn't
ask anybody to hold their breath till
this is built.

Petitions Out For a
New Pike Ten
Miles Long
In BOkeSCreek and Rush.
creek Townships.
The Longest Straight Stretch
of Road in the County.

We have supposed for years that
every road of any considerable
length, in the county, had been piked.
But petitions have been taken out,
within a few days, for circulation,
praying the Commissioners to order
the Strengthening, ditching, grading
and Improvement of a pike that will
be more than ten miles long.
This road begins at the Union
county line, east of Horton, ruds in a
straight direction south of west to a
point, just north of the Bellefontaine
cement works. Turning south it
runs to the cement works; thence
south of the railroad switch to the
Bellefontaine and Rushsylvania pike.
The road crosses the T. & o. c. r. r.
track at Horton, between West
Mansfield and Ridgway. The road
was formerly known as the old Belle
fontaine road. 1t passes through a
good agricultural section, most of
the way.

The service at the Lutheran church
last Sunday, by which Rev. S. E.
Greenawalt, was formerly installed
as p pastor, was very solemn and i'm
pressive. Rev. ]. II. Cutler. D. D.. of
Wapakoneta, President of Witten-

tenberg college, at Springfield, gave
the charge TO the congregation
Each was eloquent with the stern
duties of plain gospel Christian duty
and active cooperation in Christian
work. The impression made on the
congregation was very great in favor
of greater activity in Christian work
and must result in good for the
church.

r. r. Y. NC. A. MeetinQ.

DR.. ort, of wittenberger College,
delivered a most excellent sermon be-
fore the r. r. Y. NJ. C. A. Association,
at Educational Hall, Sunday after
noon. The audience was made up,
almost entirely of young men, and
was of good size, and they were most
attentive listeners. The Doctor
treated of the fundamentals, speak
ing of man as religious animal, of
his dual nature, of his longing after
a God and a future life. of the exist
ence of Jesus of Nazareth, on the
Earth and the proofs of his life,
teachings, death and resurrection,
of his revelation of the Father and
his will; of his being the only witness
who has come back from the other
side of the grave; of the marvellous
character of his life and teachings;
and the great interest every man
must have in the question, "Does
Death End ALP" The sermon was
earnest, logical, able and convincing.
The Doctor is an entertaining as we'll
as Instructive speaker, and impresses
his hearers with his deep sincerity.
Mrs. Cushman sanga a beautiful solo
which was greatly appreciated.
Mr.. finnish, the Secretary of the
Association, is doing very earnest
work here, with limited means, and
he should have the moral and ma
terial support of all our people. If
you can assist him in the way of en-
tertaining a speaker over Sunday,
now and then, he will greatly esteem
the favor. Call him by telephone, OF
drop him card.

EVERY
VOTER OF
BELLEFONTAiNE
Should Vote His Own Vote.

Inere are d rev Things VI very
important character, that every
voter in Bellefontaine should consid-
er before he votes at his Primary,
next Friday.
The Legislature has provided a
new form of Government for our city,
and it has provided checks to incom-
potency and dishonesty. that will
give us purer and better govern
ment if the people will elect men
who are capable of filling the Offices,
and who are honest men.
Our city is growing rapidly in en-
terprise, business and population.
There is plenty of work for all who
want to work.
If men are put into places of trust
who are incapable or dishonest, they
will soon drive population, capital
and business away from the city by
mismagement, rascality and dis
honesty.
The pastyear, work on street i'm
provements was stopped altogether,
nothing done and many had to hunt
other work, who expected to work on
these improvements. This was be-
cause there had been dishonesty and
Encouragement.
Bad management, extravaganza
and dishonesty will bring about just
such results in the future, if the new
officers to be chosen are dishonest or
incompetent, or are running for Office
"for the money there is in it."
Mismanagement and extravaganza,
and dishonesty, will lead to squan-
dering Of the public money and in
crease taxes. High taxes will keep
factories and capital from coming
here to build up our city.
Every voter, therefore, should vote
as he thinks will be best for the city.
IT a man asks you to vote for him
as personal favor it will be because
he does not believe his qualifications
for the place, are such as to make
you vote for him.
If he asks you to vote for him be-
cause he belongs to your trade, or
society, or union, or church, it is evi.
dent he is not running on his charac-
acter, qualifications, ability or pur-
pose to serve the hest interests of
the city.
If he asks you to intrust him with
public money and interests, because
he doesn't pay his debts, you would
hardly do so,
2 IF he asks you to vote for him b'
cause he doesn't believe in Grants
motto, "Let no guilty man escape -
you will hardly think him a safe man
to trust, or the right man to honor
with your vote.
If a man is a capable and worthy
man; honest and clean-handed, it
will, of course, be no objection if he
belongs to your society, or union or
church, but the first thing every
voter should consider is the question
"is the man worthy. qualified, and
honest; would his election be the best
thing for the city and the peoples.
Think your own think, vote your
own vote, and choose the men whom
you think, will be the best men fol
the city's interests.
