part :
1 nm not concerned In your matters of local
character , but 1 have the meat satisfaction of
the republicans of the whole United States
that thu fhurauter of your candidate lor gov
ernor Is of the highest ordei and worthy of the
republican party. Kverynian who wauls le-
form will couiu on Novembers tothusjippoit
ofDavinporrand On. Cair. We havu nad
victory In Ohio , and I'll tell you why. We
won that victoiy because Ohio republicans
determined lo plant themselves on the plat
form that gavu expression to sound repub
lican docttluo. When the republicans went
out of the national ollices they went out
will ) bands playing ami Hags 11ing , and
every man standing six feet high and looking
thu world sqiiaiu in the face. Nobody was
liiullni ; fault localise the heresy of secession
had been shot to death on the battlefield , nor
because thu eoloied race had been enfran
chised and special payment icsumed. John
Itoacb , that poor old Irishman , broken up.
Tlm democrat bavu broken tlown ono of the
IcaiJIiig indiistiies of the country nnd thrown
SfXH ) inin out of work.
While the renubllcan party was in power
they Invented a postal card wltb'thn goddess
of liberty printed on ono corner , but our
democratic friends changed all that and
iKMird a new card with tlm face of Thomas
Jefferson , the author of tliu damnable resolu
tion which caused all thu trouble in this
couuliy slneuthat time Thcru's no room in
a democratic piocessioli for the goddess of
liberty. It don't make nny dltleronee.
Hpeaklng of Glover Cleveland , what
i party and policy thcro is behind
Him. I was greatly snrpiised
to find In coming hero that the best way to
.appiuvcof 1'resldeiit Cleveland wtis to vote
for Ira lavcni > orL I hue ; heaid agieat
deal of his fiuo appointment ; ) , but those of
tbo last six weeks in quantity and quality
Would bu enough to damn any lepnbllcan ad-
.ministration. You can gain some Idea of
'llio ' herculean labor of Cleveland when he had
'to take all his Hppdilitees fiom tbudemocratic
party.
Koraker then paid a tribute to the Irish and
( German votcis in tliu icptihlican ranks , and
Bald If Paruell with bis taiilt' views had
'lived In thu United .States ho-\\ould bu a re
publican. The speaker concluded as follows :
iiivotw n response from the state of New
York on November ! ) , similar to that we gave
in Ohio October S. Callant Jolm Wise In
Virginia will break the back of thu solid
fioufh so that we can say wo not only havu
0 llio and New Yoik , but we want the whole
CCirili , Virginia Included.
Senator Edmunds , ot Vermont , was then
Introduced amid the cliecis and shouts of thu
multitude. When at Jcngth quiet was reStored -
Stored , he wild : If yon gentlemen who are
making such a noise tonluhtill only wait
until November you will then havu a chance
to Rhotit yourselves hoarse over
n great icpubllcan victory in
New York. [ Applause. ] 1 do not
Intend to icpcat thu arguments already ad
vanced by Mr. Foraker. ibave only this to
say , nearly every democrat In the senate
tueutj j cunt ago voted against the doctilne
of ixiual rights. What kind of demociacv Is
thlsi1 If tliciu Is anything ncio
In this country worth preserving it Is the light
to think and sucak as one pleases. It a man
wanted to be H democrat let him be one. I
am willing. Let every ninn bo titiu to him
self and allow others to do the same. 1 am
jglad to hear that In this gicat state tliu name
of paily Is losing largely this year its sign 11-
cancc. Men are beginning to think without
refeicneeti ) the consideration of party.
I want to say a tew winds about the civil
service. The lepiiblicau iiaity in Its last
platform had a civil soivicnclausu insetted
therein. The democratic pmty had a plat
form of a most elastic character. It could
take In everjlwdy nnd jet bavo room for
imoje. Thrro aru 1 suppose , a bundled
Uhoiisind offlceis In tbo united States. Tl-u
piesident cannot himself select men to ill !
all tliCM offices. He must trust to thu advice
of those who are his counsellors Tliu mem
bers of his cabinet are expected to act In this
capacity. If Cleveland had selected the
seven right men tor positions in Ids cabinet
there would not bu such an upiuar of discon
tent axaliibt him among UIOMI who wished to
secure his election and aiu dissatisfied with
tlm wanner in which thu ollices havu been
tilled.

Nr.w YOIIK , Oct. 23. Tlio Commeiclal
Advertiser publibhes an Interview w itli ( Jen.
llutlerbylts liostoii correspondent on the
Grant-Johnson controversy. Gen. Butler
says then ; aru many reasons why the charge
that Johnson desired to icvolutlonUo the
government was not brought up In the Im
peachment trial. The chief reason and con-
elusive one wius that the olfensu was nut
charmed In the ui Moles ol Impeachment , and
be ( Butler ) as counsel In that case did not
care to oiler incompetent testimony. Thu
charge was not embodied in the articles of
impeachment because they could not * be
p loved.
The talk between Gen. Grant nnd Johnson ,
hscommander-la-chief ! , was In thu natniu of
a pmilegod communication , anil tliatGcn.
Grant so held was shown by the fact that lie
did not disclose it till long after Johnson's
death. Thcie was another proect | of Presi
dent Johnson's as to revolutionizing the gov-
eminent , some of. the details of which were
partly known at thu time , but which could
not ho proven , which bad not taken the form
ot action and which were not brought into
the Impeachment proceedings. 1 myself had
some very strong moral evidence upon
two questions which I did not
eaie to make known to the public
In the impeachment proccedlngfi , but ono ot
which 1 investigated secretly as chairman of
the committee for that puiK | > &o , and while
there weic disclosed to mo some very dam-
a ing facts , under the circumstances they
wcie not soconclusivethat I deemed It proper
to exhibit an aitlcle ot impeachment against
the president ot the United States in that
belief. 1 still lelaln some ot the instiumeiits
of evidence that Mrougly lead to Mipportmy
belief.
The other proposition of Sir. Johnson to
control the government differing fioiu that of
General Grant In thu measures to be taken ,
but not in the end tit bu icachcd , it now
seems to mo lor the first time , must have
been made utter General Grant had rcluscd
to accede to Johnson's proposition ; ami
knowing now what had been said to General
Grant , It would seem to show that that prop
osition wns entertained because of Grant's
refusal , anil while what was known to me in
regaul to It gave me a stioug belief , it was
not in pioiwrBhapu to be biought before the
public. "
Geneial Hutler declined to say what these
proofs were , and Intimated that they would
probably not bo made public till after bis
death.
Piiir.Annu'iiiA , Oct. 2.1. A statement by
Admiral Ainmen jelatlvo lo Cs-n. Grant's
part In the l > olsteious times of Jouvson's ad
ministration Is made public here to-day.
Ammen relates Gen. Shetman's speaking to
him some time ago. Restated that ho ( Sher
man ) , upon being called to Washington by
Picsldcnt Johnson , went liist to Grant's
house Immediately upon airlving in the capi
tal. Giant said there was a disposition in the
cabinet to get lid of him ( Grant ) . Apio | > o-
sltlon had been made to send him tn Mexico ,
but bu had determined not to go. lie .said he
would stand a couit maitial lirst. "Well ,
what do they want of nie'i" ' said Sheiman.
"I do not know , " was Grant's reply.
Sherman then went directly to the presi
dent without waitinir to visit anyone else.
"Mr. Picsident , " said Slieiman , "this is a
diplomatic mission , and Gen. Grant will not
coupon it. He will disobey thu older It ills
Issued. " The piesident seemed very much
surpifscd , and said that ho bad a very great
icgaid tor Gen. Grant and would not like to
do anything that was distasteful to him. "
Sherman remaiked , "If it will iclle\e the
executive of any embarrassment I will go
down myself. " "Very well. It you will no
that settles It , " said the president , "and It
will bn Just as well. " rlvu dav.s later
Gen. Slieiman took a steamer for the Gulf.
"Thus , " said Sherman In stating the mat
ter to Ammen , "was the dllllculty , so far as
General Grunt was concerned , biidged over ,
and lie was kept from an OJHMI inpturo with
the executive. .My onlnfon is they dcslicd lo
get ild of him and uucp him fiom beluga
candidate tor the presidency. What they
v.antu of mo in case General Grant was sent
out ot thucoiintiy I do not know. ThudLs-
ctisslun botwecn Piesident Johnson nnd my-

Last night at 8 o'clock James Alexander , a
farmer living seven miles northwest of

man named Briggs. The deceased had lived
In Dixon county for twenty-five years and
was quite a piomlnent man in his neighbor

The piovocatlon lor the murder is not yet
known , as the two men were quite Intimate.
After the deed was committed tlm murderer
went to the house and coolly told Mrs. Alex
ander of bis bloody vvoik , but forbade her
going to the gtanary v\hcro the body lay.
After threatening the life of an aged brother
of Alexander's in the hope of obtaining what
money there was lu thu house , without avail ,
Diiggs in on nlcd his horse and tied. The
country Is being searched by ofllccrs and an
Indignant populace , and if taken the mur
