The evidence upon which the arrests

Don't Grant 1t, Governor.

Ii is said that Gov Warfeld will hear peti'
TONERS on November ,. who will ask for the
pardon of Dr. George c. worthingtou, the
abotionist, of Baltimore. who is nov serving
a ten year sentence in the State Penitentiary.
Do not grant it, Gov. Warield. The man
has been notorious for this crime. He had
two trials before conviction, and had been
indicted several times previously for similar
cases aud escaped through small loop holes.
If be is pardoned it will be an Incentive for
other charlatans to carry on their nefarious
work in small cities, towns aud villages Il
is a crime of the deepest dye, and each knows
the risk they run. Immense SONS Of money

FOR CONGRESS
FOR CONGRESS,

Election, Tuesday, November s.
Mr.. Cleveland's Great Speech.

The Democrats had a great meeting in New
York last Friday night The star speaker was
Grover Cleveland, and the other great plat
form attraction was John G. Carlisle, former
Speaker of the House of Representatives, now
a resident of New York. The meeting was
held at Carnegie Hall, which would not begin
to hold the throng who desired 70 gain en-
trance Five times as many persons were on
the outside as we're within the hall.
Mr.. Cleveland has following in this country
such as no other man has, or has had. There
have been public men who could get up a
cheer at any time he appeared in public. but
that cheer was from the ''hurrah boys. Mr..
Cleveand's following comprises the men OF
high character and stamina; the men who are
not welded TO any political party' the men Of
business and therefore taxpayers.
Mr.. Cleveland's speech was mastery ct
fort. II was mastery in its statements that
refuted most completely the Republican con
tentions and claims, and mastery IN the man
ner of their presentation. There was no par
t;sanship about the speech; no play OF the
demagogue; no play OF the politician. 1t was
a busiuess-like discussion of the business OF
the government, and was argumentative aud
convincing.
While the speech will bavs effect every.
where. it will be particularly effective in the
close States of New York. New Jersey and
Connecticut, and we believe 1t no exaggera-
ton to say that fully $4,000 voters, who were
wavering or undecided, were determined in
their course by the speech. We surrender
considerable space 10 a report Of the speech,
believing that we can do no better service TO
the cause of good government.

Negro At Table With Gov. Herrick
Of Ohio.

SPRINGFIELD. ONO, Oct. 2l.-Gov. Herrick
and Lientenat Governor Harding dined with
a negro at the Arcade Hotel here Wednesday
evening. This was kept secret by the local
Republicans who entertained he visitors when
trey came here for speaking engagement
last night
The Negro was Suly Jaymes. young law
yer. who had been Eamed on the reception
committee, but who was given the slip when
the party went to the dining room. When
the dinner was half over Jaymes made his way
to the dining room. County Chairman hay
ward remarked to Jaymes that he was sorry
be had not come sooner, whereupon Jaymes
remarked that he guessed there was enough
left for him. and sat down between rich
manufacturer and Charles Gerish, Foraker
leader of Columbus.
The matter has Caused a big sensation, ami
Governor Herrick has been criticized for not
expressing his dsapproval. He made no
sign, and the dinner was finished with marked
constraint. Many Republicans are indignant,
and say that Jaymes was put up to make uou-
bic. The feeling against negroes IS as strong
here as at many points in the South.

Horseshoe For Judge Parker.

A dispatch from Allentown, Pa, says =
John j. Sehaadt, blacksmith and one of Al
lentown's best known characters, is IN receipt
of letter from ex- President Cleveland, urg-
ing him to make one of his lucky horseshoes
and send it to Judge Parker.
Mr.. Schaadt made two horseshOes for Mr.
Cleveland the two times he won the Presiden
cy, but neglected to send one to him the time
Mr.. Cleveland lost to Harrison IN 1883 The
sending of the horseshoes to Cleveland
amounted to so much that the exPresident
has a warm regard for ne blacksmith and has
entertained him at his home at Princeton.
Mr.. Schaadt who is an ardent Democrat.
Judged from reports week or so ago that
Parker was having bard lines, and wrote to
Mr. Cleveland if he did not think horseshoe
might change the tide. Mr.. Cleveland re-
sponded, advising that the shoe be sent. The
shoe was sent this week.

Il felt uneasy, but could not bring myself
to think that our Government would disgrace
itself by such an act. But my tondest hopes
were dissipated on reading letter written by
the agent of the Harrison Lane of steamers TO
the agents ofthe same line in this city.
TO quote from memory, he said:
~ have been advised by the general su.

would be allowed 10 land in Colon. The
steamship Nashville commands the situation.
There could be no misunderstanding this.
A United States ship of war prevents q recOg

lumber from the heart of block of white oak
wood % inches in diameter. which showed il

the growth Of the tree. The wood did not
ioin together at the cut, but grew firm and
solid on either side of the same-a remarkable
circumstance, as the cut was at least inches
in circumference.
