and j. j. Eckels for Bailifs.
A little spice was mixed into the pros
pectlve election of village officers by the
nomination papers filed late Monday even
ing for John j. Eckles and Dennis NJ.
Duggan on the board of bailiffs. The
Citizens ticket bearing the names of
Henry r. Brown, G. r. Gilman, A. f.

was filed in good season and the other
nomination papers, each bearing the name
of only one candidate, were received at
the last moment for filing. Mr.. Eckels S
ticket was called the "Municipar' and
Mr.. Duggan's ticket the Peoples" tick

The question was raised whether the
Municipal and the Peoples nomination
papers were legal as they bore only seven
signatures, when the law requires that
nomination papers should be signed by at
least one per cent. of the total number
of votes cast in the last election. The
last election was a general election and
about 1900 votes We're cast. The revised
statutes say definitely that the last gen
eral election is meant and 1t has been
the custom to so regard it. Village Clerk
w. d. Perry sent all three nomination
papers to the printers to have all the can
didates placed on the official ballot. The
names will appear on the official ballot as
follows:
For bailiffs-H. r. Brown Citizens

accepted a position to play ball with the
New Hampshire league. Mr.. Grady is a
young man of exemplary habits. a heady

company he is to enter Since coming to
Granville Mr.. Grady has made many
friends who will regret his departure
The pecuniary advantages of the new

Mrs. Hemenway's Statement.


I desire to correct at least one of the
many statements contained in last week s
Phoenix in regard to the Lincoln and
Hemenway case. Your correspondent
states that board was charged the plain
tiff at the defendants house when the
plaintiff was working elsewhere at the
time, which is not true; also several other
statements made in the article are not
true l only ask for space in your paper
to say this, that Mr.. Barber came to me
last October and copied my itemlzed book
account for the sole purpose, so he ex-
planned, to get settlement, and as that
was what l had been trying to do for
months past / let him have my account,
but as soon as he gets the book account,
then he takes advantage of the knowledge
gained and Immediately brings suit. At
ter having my account with dates, etc,
so long a time he could very easily say
she was elsewhere at the time, I'm fact,
just as easy as they could say a great
many other things which they have said
and which also are not true.

"As Ye Sow" Well Received.

AS Ye Sow pleased large audiences
in the Auditorium Saturday afternoon and
evening. The presentation was more
finished in the/afternoon than in the even
ing and the situations so played upon the
emotions that many spectators were
moved to tears. The second act brought
a fine stage picture, with schooner
wrecked in a storm and the lifeboat crew
to the rescue, while the wind howled and
real rain fell copiously. The story is one of
girl marrying a scapegrace, who deserts
her and is reported dead, of their child
lost. and of the young minister who has
adopted the child in love with the destert-
ed wife of his own infamous brother. The
supposedly dead brother returns just in
time to prevent a marriage, being res
cued from the sea by his minister brother
Then follows the stern behests of duty
brain storm in which the minister rebels
against the staying of affections. and
finally the severance of entanglements
through the death of the hayward broth
err who has volunteered for service i'm
the ,Spanish-Amercan war. Arthur Ben
rens as the minister and Estclla Earl as
the wife gave strong, convincing portray
ais of the leading characters The var-
Gus supporting roles We're on the whole

actress and Mary McCube as round
and rosy old maid with a laugh which
melted away into liquid joy winning par

with distressing frequency. 1t was said
by those who knew him best that he
became an Abolitfonist in Kentucky as
means of securing the most fights
with noted antagonists. He had had
several memorable encounters in which
men had been killed, narrowly escaping
the same fate himself. Clay gathered

appeal to the good sense. patriotism

while not retreating one iota from the

control its domestic institutions. 1t de-
nounced raids or invasions of any State

the Fugitive Slave Law. and he con-
ceded the right Of every STAKEHOLDER
to recover his property: whether he
should be assisted by the State or Ma

ton. As to Secession he said that IN
the contemplation Of universal law and
Of the Constitution the Union was per-
petual: It was impossible to think 9TH

than the Constitution, therefore no
State upon its own mere motion could
go out of the Union. Ordinances to
that effect are absolutely void legally

surrectionary and revolutionary. II

as a menace, but as a declaration OF

do this In the least offensive manner:
| would not even send the mails where

no denial anywhere Of any plainly writ,

therefore the South had 10 basis for
