Louis Globo-Democrat: Harrison and Morton, tho ticket, has a sonorous and resonant sound. It will uudoubtedly prove strong and popular with the country. Harrison represents tho alert, enterprising and aggresslvo west, and Morton stands for all that is vigorous, solid and resolute in the cast. New York Herald: Mr. Harrison has served a term in tho United States senate.

Ho showed himself there, as iu tho politics of his stato, a vigilant and kcon, and indeed a rather bitter partisan a thorough going high tariff protectionist; a man of strong will clear hoaded, but somewhat Now York Press: It is doubtful if abettor ticket could have been nominated. It is strong at both ends. Strong in patriotism, strong in statesmanship, strong in legal and business attainments, and long before election it will bo so strong in the hearts of all true Americans that it will be elected bv an overwhelming majority next November. Troy Telegram: It may safely be sold that How York's electoral vote is assured for tho RepublicMi national candidates this year. Mr.

Harrison not only brings an historic name, but the record of distinguished services in the field and in the halls of congress. New York Mail and Express: Oen. Harrison owes little of hia prominence or political success to his ancestry. He has won at ovory step of his career, because he has been a true, nobly ambitious, patriotic, courageous, capable and growing man. Whether as lawyer, or soldier, or statesman, he has always acquitted himself nobly, always done his duty, and always been true to his character and convictions as a Christian gentleman.

The best record of his career is to be found in his published expressions as to the questions that have tested his adequacy to the high positions he has occupied, in tho halls of national legislation and in the political campaign where great issues were decided. Of Mr. Morion and his long and honorable career it is needless to speak in this community, where ho has been kuown in all ways and by all men. His nomination should insure the electoral votes of New York beyond question. IT KEEPS GROWING IN FAVOR.

The Chicago Ticket Stronger and Stronger 136 Pension Vetoes. Correspondence of The Ebacon. Washington, July 2. Senator Haw- ley and Representatives Johnston, of Indiana, Buchanan, 01 New Jersey, Houck, of Tennessee, and Butterworth, of Ohio, were among the speakers at a rousing Harrison and Morton ratification meeting heki under the auspices of the Republican National League of this city Friday evening. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the entire meeting, and all of the speakers confidently predicted the election of Harrison and Morton, The following letter of regret trom senator snernian was read "I regret that an engagement will not allow me to be with you to-night, though I join mostheartily in the support of the nominees of the Chicago convention.

I have known Gen. Harrison intimately for many years, as a gentleman of high character, an able lawyer, a gallant soldier, and in every respect a worthy citizv-n. I have also known Mr. Morton as a member of Congress, a business man ot rare sagacity, ability and 111-tegritv, and a true Republican. These candidates will worthily represent the great cause in which we are engaged.

The battle will be for principle, not for men; protection to American labor, and security for equal rights. I will, no doubt, at some future time, have an opportunity to express more at length my earnest desire for the success of the Republican party, and confidence in the triumph over a party wnicn, in its com position and acts, is a reproach to the patriotism of our This letter was received with cheer after cheer for Morton and Harrison, and three cheers and a tnrer lor John Sherman. It is now a week since the ticket was nominated, and everybody has had an opportunity of calmly considering the work of the Chicago convention, and the unanimous verdict of the Republicans is "Good," with the biggest kind of a G. it is generally conceded by every Republican, with whom I have talked, that the nomination of Harrison and Morton was not only the very best that could have been made under the circumstances, but that it is, all things considered, the strongest combination that could possibly have been made. I have never seen a inomination receive with such general satisfaction by all classes of the party as this one has been, and unless all the signs fail, Harrison and Morton, with our gionousplattorm, proclaiming protection to American labor and industry, and equal rights to all, will surely sweep every State and probably three in the solid South, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee.

The light over the Mills tariff bill has been resumed with greater vim than ever. The Republicans are determined to thoroughly discuss the many absurdities of the bill item by item, in order that the wage-earners, of the country may see which party it is that is striking down its wages. It is probable that the indorsement of the bill by the Democratic convention will have the result of bringing enough of the "kicking" Democrats to its support to secure its passage when it gets to a final vote in the House, which the Democrats expect will be early in August. It will then go to the Senate, where it is sure to be defeated. The most hopeful member of Congress doesnot predict an adjournment before September, and there are quite a number who think the session will continue right' along to the 4th of March.

The Senate committee on pensions has submitted a report upon eight vetoed pension bills, which recommends their passage over the vetoes. The report says: "Since the 8th day of May, 1886, 180 special acts granting pensions to individuals have been disapproved by the President. These disapprovals were based in a great majority of cases, upon the expressed opinion 61 the President that Congress has erred in its judgment of mere fact. It is, of course, impossible for the President to examine the mass of documentary evidence upon which each case depends, and which is invariably examined by the committee, and it follows tha i when he disagrees with Congress upon the cmestion of fact in these cases, his judgment must be based, not vm the reports of the committee, in which the facts are always stated with sufficient fullness, but upon the report of some i i '4. "IIAPJ tISON AND VICTORY." THE CRY OF THE PRESS THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

A NatloiuU Ticket That All CImim at Americana Can Consistently Support. Leaders with the Brightest Records A Clean and Stroi Campaign Presaged. It seems as if it would have been impossible for the Republican national convention at Chicag-o to have selected another ticket that would have so solidifiod and unified tho grand old party as that of Harrison and Morton. There will be no factions or soreheads In 1888, and mud throwing will be impossible. It will be the cleanest and strongest campaign on record.

The groat warriors of the press have Biinultaneously rolled up their sleeves and gone Into tho fight with a vhjor and a unanimity that must bo appalling to our friends the enemy, and which presages an overwhelming victorj in November. We present a collection of newspaper comments which will show the feeling throughout the party. Philadelphia Press: The Republican national convention has done more than nominate tho Republican candidate for the presidency, it has named the next American president. This lay in its power, if it acted well and wisely in its selection, and it has acted wisely and well hi placing Benjamin Harrison at the head of tho Republican ticket. With the best of tho party to choose from, the convention has chosen the best candidate named before it; with many political paths to follow it has selected the safest.

Nominated in 1876 to lead a forlorn hope, Benjamin Harrison carried his party to the vory threshold of victory. His brilliant leadership swept tho state in 1880, elected Garfield and placed himself In the senate. In 188S he carried the state again on the popular vote, and lost the legislature only when the continuing fraud of a gerrymander was supplemented by a corrupt election and tho reckless and illegal violence or a Democratic senate. Ho enters another canvass with this in justice to avenge. His nomination places at the head of tho Republican campaign in Indiana the successor of Morton, the best political organizer of the state and its most distinguished citizen.

It gives the Republican canvass the enormous and preponderating advantage of a candidate identified and in harmony with the politi cal machinery, which in a closely con tested state decides tho battle by polling tho last doubtful vote. Personally, tho national Republican convention has placed before the country a man of clean lifo and high ambition, a brave soldior and an able senator who has been lnerlit on every public question be cause he lias brought principle to bear on every -public issue. His life as a man is stainless In all itsrelations from his youth up; his career as a soldier owed its every Eromotiou to brave and honorable service; is position as a lawyer places him in the forefront of the bar of Lis state, and his record as a public man and a senator shows an equal attention to the practical work of politics and to tho painstaking and sedulous discharge oi public duties. Bonjamin Harrison is no discovery of a day, no invention of a campaign. Ho is neither tho product of a caucus nor the offspring of a machine.

JNor has he stood among those useless men who share the advantages of a free government without discharging its duties, and whose sole political activity is shown in criticising tho work of those who do discharge them. Levi P. Morton won long ago a national reputation as the head of one of the great banking firms in tho world. Elected to tho house of representatives, ho there added to his fame and justified the high expectations of his friends by his speeches on financial questions, which ho was not merely a practical banker, but understood the theory and philosophy of finance in its larrrest sense and in its na tional aspects. lie is a man whose talents and tastes qualify him conspicuously for high public olhco, and there is an evident Ctnc3s in giving this representative and leading citizen of Now York tho second place on the Republican national ticKot, tha first having gone to tho all powerful west.

New Tori Tribune: A convention remarkable for its cool and patient deliber ation, which has never boon surpassed in its declaration of Republican principles, has nominated as tho Republican candidate for the presidency ex-Senator Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana. The seat in tho United States senate which he filled worthily and with honor had been stolen by Democratic crime. His nomination for a higher oCico gives the people of Indiana an opportunity, which they will proDabiy improve, to show their detestation of the crime and ot the party which made Mr. Cleveland president by robbing citizens of their rights. The nomination of tho Hon.

L. P. Morton for vico president will give especial satisfaction to business men of this state, who know well his merits. True to the policy which has led it to select candi dates with peculiar regard to their strength the aoaDttul Etates, the convention was not able to concede the first place to the choice of New York, but ac cepted for tho second placo tho candidate named by this state, remembering how creditably ho had acquitted himself in public service at home and abroad, in congress and as minister to France. It has been said repeatedly that the coining contest would turn less upon the personal merits of candidates than upon the great principles involved.

let it will bo found to tho Republican cause a distinct advantage that it la to be represented by one who is personally strong, as Mr. Cleveland is personally weak, in those elements of character which command public confidence. Nor is it a disadvantage that the doubtful state of In diana, after presenting a candidate to the Democratic convention only to see him slaughtered at the bidding or a party despot, now has opportunity to elect the most popular citizen of the state instead of Mr. Cleveland. With a man so strong and worthy, the Republican party has a right to look for a popular uprising not unlike tnat swept Martin Van Buren from power in 1840.

Ho had been successful through arts of the demagogue; he had prostituted the publio service to his private ambition, and the people found four years of Democracy more than enough. They elected Harrison to put an end to the prostitution of the public service, and this year the election of another Harrison would bring the same result. The needs of tho nation will bo felt In the coming struggle far more than the personality of candidates; threatened industries, the robbery of the people's rights hi tho south and in Indiana, the debauchery of the public service, should laake the Republican cause irresistible. Cincinnati Commercial: Benjamin Harrison io a Republican and was always a Republican. He is sound on all the great princij les'that are laid down in the admirably constructed platform of the party.

In thiu respect he has nothing to explain, nothing to add, nothing to take back. The platform is the embodiment of his record. Everybody, therefore, who is a Republican can vote consistently for Harrison, and everybody who Is for American principles and American interests, as opposed to those of British free trade, can consistently vote for him, and to be consistent must vote for him. Furthermore, Harrison is a fine specimen of American citizenship. He is in the line of a great family.

His greatgrandfather was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. His grandfather was a distinguished soldier and president of the United States, and was leader in the memorable campaign of 1840, and his candidacy will revive recollections rf that wonderful contest, when the country was stirred as it never was before or since; when Tippecanoe, the log cabin and hard cider excited the people and made Harrison president. We may expect a revival of tho popular and soul stirring songs of that period. This ancestral line would not be complete would be very far from complete without the mention of J. Scott Harrison, and the father of our candidate.

He was a citizen of this county, and was elected to congress. He differed from tho Republican party and from his son in politics. He was elected as a Know Nothing, and acted with the Democrats; but ho was an honorable man, and pure as his ancestors. He was respected by all his fellow citizens, and by none more than those who differed with him politically. But Harrison is more, and a great deal more than the son of a father or grandfather.

Ho inherited no wealth. He has not depended on a He has carved his own way through life, and by Lis own performances as a public man, and in places of trust, has written his name in the public wwds of the nation. all the people between the two oceans lie is a statesman with a conscience, and hia record as a public man and a private citizen is. freo from spot or blemish. He needs no defense.

There Is. nothing in his whole life as a politician; a statesman or citizen that needs defense or explanation. His character is as pure as Lis name is Illustrious. This is tho kind of a man the Republicans have been fortunate enough to nominate. It is a name, too, around which tho people of this country can and will rally.

Troy Tunes: The die la castl Tha Republican standard bearer for the campaign of 1888 has been selected! Tho choice of tho Chicago convention falls upon Oen Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, ex-United States senator, and one of the soundest and truest Republicans in the laud. His record i3 stainless. Ho is sound to the coro on all great American principles. A Erotectionist from profound conviction, has always stood stanch and true against free trado in any of its protean disguises. Tho false cry of "revenuo reform," raised to hido the free trado intentions of Democracy and mugwumpism, has nover deceived him or swerved him from his straightforward course as a champion of homo industry.

Ho comes from good fighting stock. Soldier's blood is iu tiis veins, inherited from hi3 grandfather, the valiant old "Tippecanoo," whoso heroism was rewarded by an election to the presidency of the United States. Belonging to a family renowned for patriotic valor, it wa3 natural that the war of the rebellion should draw him to the field. Thero he served with distinguished gallantry, and rose from the rank of second lieutenant to that of major general. Since the war his public services have been of great value to his country and mado his name familiar to his fellow citizens.

Such is brave Ben Harrison, the Republican choico for the presidency. A fearless soldier and a wise He will sweet through the country with resistless popularity. Ho will command tho devoted and loyal support of all Union veterans. Ho dared to personally lead tho boys in blue on the enemy's lines. Tho old soldiers will bear that in mind; and they will rally around him during this campaign in a way that will strike terror to the heartsof political opponents Ho will make a most excellent standard bearer for the grand old Stars and Stripes, under which flag: so many Trecious lives were sacrilicea during the civil war, and which now becomos tho emblem of tho Republican party, in contradistinction to the blood red British bandanna.

Harrison and victory! Albany Journal: Ey the masterly dig nity and sublimo sell sacrifice or James Q. Blaine, and by the willing aud disin terested spirit of the Republican delega tion of the Empire state, indorsed and sustained to the last ditch by tho liepub- licans at honn, the nomination of Men. Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, was mado possible, and the convention at Chicago has presented him for tho suffrages of the inierican people. Tho choice of the convention is a mag-ailicent ono. This morning tho convention was in chaos.

Never in tho history of the party has there been so many can didates pressing for the nomination, so nearly equal in point of chances and warmly, uncompromisingly supported by their friends. It seemed impossible to agree upon any one. Even the Republican papers of the country admitted the situation was critical. But once again the oracle spoke. Like the voice of Ono of old, "This is tho way.

walk yo in it," the grand wisdom of that greatest of Americans, James O. Blaine, was hurried under the sea on lightning wings, and tho convention listened, as the party has for a score of years, to his counsel. Ho could not in justice to his party be a candidate. At once the clouds cleared up. The party was again a unit.

It knows no Stalwarts or Half Breeds. There aro no disgruntled, unhappy men iu it. The nomination of Harrison was accomplished by no subterf tige or trickery. The race was free for all and tho nomination fell by tho untrammelcd choice of tho conveu tion. Thero is not a defeated candidate for the nomination who will not be found on tho stump this fall.

Harrison has been chosen. A man from Indiana, a state brought with its fifteen electoral votes by this ono act of tho convention from the list of doubtful states into tha noblo galaxy of commonwealths destined by the God of nations to shine for tho Republicanism whose principles in war ho smiled on iu raising up Abraham Lincoln, and in peace by recognizing Grant Garfield. The result is a glorioue one. It 13 redolent with victory. Honor, virtue, statesmanship are tho jewels our Jcader brings to his party.

Harmony and spirit mark his followers. The noblest achievements in human history have been wrought by men stung by defeat, and on the wreck age, of tho contest of 1884 shall arise the turrets 01 a redeemed republic, restored to its former noble proportions the se curity of tho people, tha admiration of nations by the Republican party, with this banner Harrison and victory I Chicago Inter Ocean: The tickot is one which should command the unhesitating support of every Republican. The convention labored honestly and earnestly to take advantago of all conditions of party successes and planted itself firmly on tho principles of advanced Republicanism and made as standard bearers two men well known to the country for their purity of life, rectitude of purpose and devotion to Republican principles. New York World: It will bo said of Mr. Harrison that he is nomincted for his name; that if his grandfather had not been president of the United SHates and hid great-grandfather a signer of the Declaration of Independence he would not have been the candidate.

But this is idle talk. Mr. Harrison is available without reference to the honorablo positions occupied by his ancestors. TJtica Herald: Gen. Harrison is in accord with his party.

He stands firmly on its platform, is in full sympathy with its most advanced thought. In him the laws will have a faithful and firm executive, the American citizen abroad a watchful protector, the American fisherman, tradesman and workingman an upholder of the (lag and the factory and the home. "Detroit Tribune: Gen. Harrison is worthy of it, an able statesman, clean man, and was a gallant soldier. He is a Republican of the highest and best typo, ana when his record is fairly placed before tho people it will compare favorably with the best.

The nominee for vice president is the right man in the right place and hails' from the right state. Chicago Times: Gen. Harrison is a gentleman of unstained reputation, and the scavengers of the party will vainly seek for material against him with which to befoul the political atmosphere Levi P. Morton, the candidate for vice president, is an ideal business man, and has in a great degree the confidence of the people of his Boston Journal: In nominating Benja-' min Harrison, of Indiana, for the presidency of the United States the Chicago convention has made a selection which will be cordially approved by the Republican party in all states and sections, and will bo ratified, we are confident, by the country in November. Albany Express: Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, for president, and Levi P.

Morton, of New York, for vice president, make the strongest ticket that was within the reach ot tho convention the ticket for which Republicans have been crying and praying ever since the convention began. Boston Advertiser: He will be a splendid candidate, not vaunting himself, not disturbed. Ho will be the leader of the canvass, as he has led the Republicans of Indiana in many a hard fight to their entire satisfaction. New York Press: While Benjamin Harrison was winning heaps of laurels in the civil war, Grover Cleveland was quietly practicing law in Buffalo. Tho famous apostle of free trade had in those days a well developed idea of the kind of protection which saves the individual, whatever becomes of tho cause.

Trenton Gazette: Harrison's nomination will give unusual and unalloyed satisfaction throughout New Jersey. Ho was the favorite here from the first and we feel every confidence that he will carry the state. Boston Transcript: The nominee is not dependent on his ancestors for hia fame, for his achievements have been honorably accomplished by his own services in reversed, is thus enabled to review the action of Congress bv the express di rection of the President. This method of consideration is an abridgement of tne 01 uie cxtrcise 01 me right of Congress to waive that strict proof which is required in ordinory cases in the Department." 1 HE'S AFTER THE PRESIDENCY. Alson J.

Streeter, ILsroii Labor Candidate for President. Alson J. Streeter, the candidate for President on the Union Labor ticket, was born in Rensselaer County, New York, January 18, 1823. His father moved to Allegheny County in 1827, and from there to Lee County, Illinois, in 1836; and when the land came into market there he entered 1 GO acres at the land office in Dixon. The subject of this sketch lived with his father on the farm until after his majority, and had the opportunity to attend school two Winter quarters in a log school house which he helped to build.

He drove. six yoke of oxen in a breaking team, raised wheat and corn and hunted game. In the Fall he thrashed the wheat by tramping if with the breaking team in a circle on the ground, and then hauled it to Chicago with the same team taking a week to make the trip; slept tinder the wagon every night, subsisted entirely from a box of provisions taken from home, de livered the wheat sack by sack onboard ot a schooner, and received usually about 50 cents a bushel for it. At the age of 23 Mr. Streeter felt strongly his need of an education.

Hearing of Knox Manual Labor College now called Know College, situated at Galesburg. 111., where young men might work their way while obtaining an education, he thought this an opportunity, and in the succeeding Fall, with less than $20 in his pocket, made his way to Galesburg across tne then open prairie. Upon arriving there he found that tho labor part of the institution was not in work ing order. He did not, however, give up his intention to make himself a scholar. With what money he had he bought books and paid one term of tuition.

He lived the first Winter in a garret and boarded himself, and he worked Saturdays and every hour that could be spared from school. Being handy at making oak shingles with a frower and drawing knife, he bought trees in the timber, sawed them into blocks, and hauled them to town. In this way he had work always on hand, and at which he could make good wages, and by so doing maintained himself in school two and one-half vcais. In the Spring of 1849," Mr. Streeter left Knox College and went overland to California.

lie spent most of 18 months in tne icockies, and with some success. In 1851, he went across the plains again with a drove of cattle, and again in 1854, with another drove. By both of these ventures he made some money In 1850 ho returned and tiought land near where he now lives, at New Wind sor, Illinois, and since that time has built up a large business in farming and stock raising. He has, notwithstanding Ins extensive business, kept hiinseit well read on public an airs. His ohicial record began soon after ne settled at JNew Windsor.

ie was several times elected to serve on the Board of Supervisors. In 1872 he was elected to the State Legislature. Dur ing the war he was a "War Democrat." In 1874 he severed his connection with the Democratic party. He was nominated for Congress in 1878 oil the Greenback Labor ticket. In 1880 the same party made him their candidate for Governor.

JteBTLook for Sign, 2602 "TPAPTUTTOS' TATW The Otiieb Side of a Very Interesting Stoby. To the Editor or Tn Biacok. I have been shown an article in the columns of Thi Beacok and find that the romantic writer has woven me very firmly into said romance. I wish to mix a little wholesome truth into this "romance," weaving, as the article reflects on my early manhood very much. Or in other words, I wish to garnish the writer's untruths with romantic facts, knowing certain statements to be false.

I am well aware that the person who dictated said article knew the "romantic" part to be a The writer says "Manville and Eunice, when of that age when life is a happy dream, plighted their troth in a 'little village in New York and swore to be true to each other. But it was the old, old story. Manville found 'it nec-esiary to remove from New York to the State of Ohio. Before leaving. the scenes of his boyhood, he again plighted troth with Eunice, and they parted.

It wa not long before their vows were broken by an intervention of Providence and a clergyman, and the young Ohio emigrant married an estimable daughter of his native State." Let us see how much truth there is in the writer's statement: 1st. That we lived near a little village is true, and were in the same neighborhood, and here it ends, and all the attention I ever paid to Mrs. Eunice was to escort her home one evening from singing school and. never before nor after did I solicit her company': -or paid any attention to her in any way whatsover. No vows were made, and none broken between us while living in New York State.

The writer, over-kind and considerate, sends me to the State of Ohio and makes an emigrant of me. And there, by Providence and a clergyman (and the writer's ever fertile brain), marries me to an1 estimable lady of my native State. Very romantic, indeea 1 The facts are these: I was engaged to the aforesaid estimable lady ot my native State months before I was married and I yet lived near that little village, where the writer says there was so much plighting of faith done by me, at the time ot my marriage to said estimable lady, Miss Fanny Clark. I continued to reside there for months after my marriage, and when, finally, I left for Ohio, instead of taking that plighted vow of the writer's, I had myself, loving wife and darling son, then a babe several months old, to keep me company while journeying to Ohio. Oh I romance of a romantic brain We should have never known of thee had it not been our fortune to have met that over-fertile brain.

Theae are facts that yet live, facts that in nowise resemble the writer's story. Mrs. Souyie Perkins' old aristocratic English lineage dwells nowhere in this wide, wide world but in the writer's fertile imagination. Nor do the facts, which I have here stated, dwell in my mind's eye alone, as does the writer's story of Mrs. Souvie's first "heirship to the Mosher estate- of England, for there are many" yet living that knew both families, while residents of New York State, that can substantiate the facts which I herein state.

And more, the leaflet mentioned in The Beacon, as printed 4n San Francisco, is a product of the same brain and is as devoid of truth as some regions are devoid of saints. They were both concocted by the same person and for the same end as bearing on the recent case in the courts. Manville Thorpe. The Foxjbth at Cu yahoo a Faxxs Personals.

July 5. For the first time in many years Cuyahoga Falls had a quiet Fourth of July. Tnere were a great many in town, too, but no attempt at a feneral celebration. The Cuyahoga 'alls and Ravenna base ball played a fine game on the school house grounds in the forenoon at which the former club was the victor with a score of 16 to 7. A return game was played at Ravenna in the afternoon in which the Cuyahoga Falls club was defeated badly, an accident in the early part of the game, no doubt contributed to this result.

Fred Ellsworth in making a run to a base was struck in the face by a ball thrown at short range which knocked him down and broke his nose. He bled badly and the accident so demoralized the rest of the club that they could rot do justice to the game. Young Ellsworth was brought home on the evening train and his wounds attended to by physicians here. It is thought he will not be much disfigured. Silver LaKe was crowded as is usual on holidays.

The display of fireworks in the evening was very fine as seen from the water. The grounds at the Glens were, open and there were several parties of excursionists there. Alliert Kingsbury was home for the day with his mother. He returns to Cornell University in the Fall Howard Goodwin, of Akron, and George Goble, of the Falls, raked in the dimes at the Silver Lake station at a milk shake stand. George Wetmore returns to Gambier to-day.

Correspondence of ThrBkacos. Frankfort, Marshall June 30. The abundance of quail and other game birds in Kansas would make the sportsmen in Summit County tremble with joy and delight. They run along ttie roadsides here like chickens do in Ohio and the approach of a horseman causes them no alarm whatever. Quail are to a great extent protected by, the farmers.

The majority of farmers' will not allow them to be hunted on their land appreciating their insectivorous nature to a great extent, i nere is no doubt that a ereat number of insects are destroyed, which would prove very in-iuriovs to the crops. The very severe Winter of two years ago killed off large numbers of these valued creatures; which before that time swarmed the barnvards and dooryards like pigeons Pheasants are also plentiful, out are not so much prized as the quail. Hawks of all kinds are abundant, as also is their enemy, the king-bird, which chases the hawk of 10 to 20 times its size, darting here and there, never tir ing, until it has secured a hold on the hawk's back. There it win sit ana torment its adversary until the usually formidable hawk drops its prey, to have it seized Dy me uaring nine roooer, which, by the way, is not much larger than a snarrow.

j. a. CLEVELAND DEFENDS HIMSELF. Mork Peksioii Vetoes Geovee Lec tures COMGRESS. Washington, July 5.

The President sent to Congress to-day a message veto ing a bill granting a penson to Mary Anne Doherty. It states that a-large share of the report of the Senate Committee on Pensions (adopted also by the House committee) consists of the petition in which the woman says that her husband (who had served in a New Jer- it i.rt lrtl bey regliueiu; icit lit-r 111 lovo, u.nu nan not been heard of since. She had received a oension as the widow of Daniel Doherty until it was discovered that he was alive aud living in Philadelphia and was himself drawing a pension there. She had succeeded in getting the pension in the first instance by much false swearing. The police records of Washington (where she has been living) showed her to he a woman of very bad character and that she had been under arrest nine times for drunk enness, larceny, creatine disturbances.

and other misdemeanors. The President then enters upon a consideration of pension legislation generally anu says: "I cannot spell out any principle upon which the lounty of the government is bestowed through the instrumentality of the flood of private pension bills that reaches me. The theory seems to have been adopted that no man who served in the army can be the subject of death, or impaired health, except it is chargeable to his service. Medical theories are set at naught, and the most startling relation is ciaimed between alleged incidents of military service and disability or death. Fatal apoplexy is admitted as the result of quite insignificant wounds, heart disease is attributed to chronicdiarrhoea, consumption to and suicide is traced to army service in a wonderfully devious and curious way.

Adjudications of the pension bureau are overruled in the most peremptory fashion by these special acts of Congress, since nearly all the beneficiaries named in these bills have unsuccessfully applied to that bureau for relief. This course of special legislation operates very unfairly. Those with certain influence, or friends to push their claims, procure pensions, and those who have neither friends nor influence must be content with their fate under general laws. It operates unfairly by increas ing numerous instances tne pensions of those already on the roll, while many other more deserving cases, from the lack of fortunate advocacy are obliged to be content with the sum provided by general laws." Further on the Presidenti says: "In the discharge of what has seemed to 'me my duty as related to legislation and in the interest of all the veterans of the Union army, I have attempted to stem the tide of improvident pension enactments, though I confess to a full share of responsibility for some of these laws that should not have been passed. am far from denying that there are cases of merit which cannot be reached except by special enactment; but I -do not believe that there is a member of either House of Congress who will not admit that this kind of legislation has been carried too far.

I have now before mo more than 100 specal pension bills, which can hardly be examined within the time allowed for that purpose. My aim has been at all times in dealing with bills of this character, to give the applicant for the pension the benefit of any doubt that might arise and which balance the propriety of granting a pension. If there seemed any just foundation for the application; but when it seemed tirely outside of every nature or the proof supporting it, I have supposed I did only my duty in interposing an objection. It seems to me that it would be well if our general pension law should be revised with a view of meeting every case that can arise." The President also returned, without his approval, the Senate bill to grant a pention to J. B.

Morton, of Nebraska, as dependent father of Calvin Morton. The father claimed that his son was killed in battle with the Indians in the Custer massacre in 1876. The President, in his message says: "His name does not appear in any record of the soldiers engaged in that battle." The Senate bill to pension Polly H. Smith, widow of Lieutenant J. H.

Smith, Second Artillery, who served in the army from 1854 to 1860, was also returned without executive approval on the ground that his death had no connection with service in the army. Senator Turpie, in behalf of the Democratic minority of the Committee on Pensions, to-day presented a minority report dissenting from the views in regard to the veto power expressed by Senator Davis in a majority report from the Pensions Committee. The minority says: We regard that power as a qualified negative upon that of Congress not derogatory to their rights or action. Neither the power or its exercise can be regarded as an encroachment upon the province of Congress, since both are provided for in the Constitution. t- 5 -i 1 1 it the bride.

Ohio letter, Chicago Universalist: In the last catalogue issued by Buchtel College, the faculty voted to omit the statement heretofore made that it was "founded by the Universalist Church." This wa9 done with no idea of disloyalty to the church, but with the idea that a larger number of pupils could be secured if no reference to its sectarian character should be made. This course did not meet with the approbation of the friends of the college, and at a late convention a unanimous vote was had in favor of requesting the trustees of the college ta direct the restoration of the proper acknowledgement of it3 denominational relations. The request was complied with by the trustees at their annual meeting and hereafter the catalogue will contain in the proper place the words "Founded by the Ohio Universalist Convention."

The Zanesville Ohio River Railway is now open for business from Zanesville to Marietta. This is a road projected by A. Boone in 1883 and since then built by sections. A Nypano agent at a station not a thousand miles from Cleveland resigned several days ago, rather than don the Erie uniform, to which he had strong personal objections. YoungsfowrT special: John Reed, a farmer four miles east of here, last night discovered that a bridge on -the Pittsburg Western Railimd, run-.

ning4 through his- farm, had been washed awav by the heavy rain. Reed ran- jdowh- the track, and by shouting and -waving-' his hands succeeded in stopping an approaching train, and thus averted what would have been a terrible wreck. Twenty-six passenger conductors on the Bee Line, five who run out of Cleveland, have been asked to resign. Believed to be the result of "spotters' work. Detectives have been running on the road for sometime, several women being among the number.
