Nese J A scrap In the prothenotary's efOce be tween two well known attorney! I the talk of the town te-day. The parties te it were A. J. Eberlyand I. C. Arneld, and tt occurred abent six o'clock en Tuesday evening. It wae brought about through a' business transaction In which Judge Patterson was a party.and, by tbe way, the Judge was a spectator of the row from the beginning te the end. It appears that the late Itebert A. Evans held judgnients against Judge Patter eon. Aa it ii necessary te settle up this state, Mr. Kberly, as the executer of Mr. Kvana, called in all of Mr. Evans' leans that were due. Benjamin K. Ilerr agreed te take the lean, and he employed I. C, Arneld as his attorney. Everything went along smoothly in the transfer until after Mr. Kberly transferred en the docket the judgments held by Mr. Evaas te the use of Mr. Ilerr. After he had done se Mr. Arneld handed Mr. Eberly the Judgment bends en which a transfer bad also been written, similar te that en the docket. He asked Mr. Eberly te sign them and he refused. Mr. Arneld pressed him te sign and tried te show that Mr. Herr' waa entitled te have It done. Mr. Eberly again refused, saying he did net propose te have duplicate documents float ing around the world. Arneld then "said that Eberly was no gentleman and that he would net sign Its transfer en account of his bullheadedness : this greatly angared Eberly; and he seized Arneld roughly and struck him In tbe fitee under the eye. Arneld returned the compli ment by hitting Eberly en the mouth. The men . clinched, and Eberly, who is the heavier man, soeu had the best of the contest. In the struggle, Eberly's silk hat rolled off, and when Arneld fell te the fleer he landed en Adam's hat and rulaed it. After Eberly had downed Arneld he was about te give it te him In regular pugilistic style when Sherman Deebler, one of the prothenotary's clerks, took a hand, separated the parties and that ended the row. Neither Mr. Arneld nor Mr. Eberly cared te talk about the matter te-day, but these close te Mr. Arneld Bay he will prosecute Eberly for assault and battery. It will maXe an Interesting case If It gets te ceurt,-v;uv Judge Patterson 0110 of the material witnesses and the defendant a prominent aspirant for Judicial honors in the near future. Mr. Eberly had much aggravation for his assault. Mr. Arneld could net de maud mere than one transfer of the Judg ment, and Mr. Eberly bad a clear right te refute mere. After the little unpleasantness the bust bust nes transaction was completed anil Mr. "Arneld received the bends for bis client and handed Mr. Eberly Air. Ilerr's check for the amount. But subsequently Arneld and Herr went te the Pulton bank and stepped payment of the check presumably because -Sir. Eberly had refused te sign the transfers en the bends se that Mr. Eberly Is new without either bends or money, and will have te apply te the court for the cancellation of the transfer en the record, or held Mr. Arneld and his client accountable for getting his bends under a false prctense of paying for them. YOUTHFUL ELOPERS. Twe Scheel Girls Run Away Frem Heme and Marry Twe Beys. A remarkable batch of elopemonts took ptace tbe ether day from tbe town of Hemer, N. Y. Three school girls, one barely 10, and the ethers several years , younger, agreed te elope with three youths yery little elder than theinselvcs. At an appointed hour in the morning the three girls skipped away from their respec tive homes anil walked three miles te the Cortland station of the Syracuse tt Bing Bing hamteu railroad, where it was arranged their levers were te Jein them. Twe oftlie boys-were en band. The third was missing, greatly te the disappointment and grief of his 14-year-old atllauced, who first had a tit of hysterics and then decided te go along with the ether girls and see them married. The party went te Bing Bing ampten, but while looking areung for a minister there heard that tbe city police were en thelr track, having received In structions from their friends at home te arrest and held thorn. The runaways get safely aboard an outgoing train and went en te Upper Lisle, where Rev. O. F. Benri married Herman Turner and Rese Stevens and Frank Jehnsen and Florence Cele. When the runaways get back te Hemer the friends of the first named couple sub mitted te the inevitable and forgave the escapade. But the mother of Florence Cele went befere a magistrate and swere that the girl was under twelve years of age and bad Jehnsen arrested for abduction. . The bridegroom was sent te jail te stand trial wbllu the mother carried oil' the bride. A Democratic Nweep In Chicago. An election for members of the Chicago city council from the various wards and for assessors, collectors, supervisors and town clerks in the various townships with in the city limits was held en Tuesday.

The Democrats made a clean sweep of all the offices in the three principal elections. The majorities vary from 200 te 4,500. The outgoing south town otllce-helders are all Republicans, and the north town the same, with one exception.

Republican Cenai1 a men Ilear Frent Their Constituents On the New Tariff Bill. Washington Dispatch te Philadelphia Ledger. The new tariff bill caused a great deal of activity about the Heuse wing of the capl capl tel te-day, and the room of the committee en ways and mean waa overrun with Democrats for copies of the bill. Ita pub lication by the newspapers of te-day also brought numerous communications te members, and many pretests against the action of the committee. Until a comparison can be made between the existing law and the prevision of the bill, the dlfferencea between existing rates and these proposed will net be fully apparent, but, in the meantime, these engaged In special Indus tries are being heard from, and these keep the members of Congress in a constant tew. There is some talk of the Republi cans holding a caucus te consider the measure, but this Is net likely te occur until the bill bss been perfected by the ways and means committee and reported te the Heuse. It is doubtful whether caucus action in this case would have any mere binding effect than has resulted from caucuses en tariff measures in pre vious Congresses. Members in whose districts large industries are established pay mere regard te the demands of their constituents than te the declarations of a party caucus. They may defy the latter, but cannot disobey the demands of the former and continue upon the roll of the Heuse. A number of members are out spoken against the action of the committee upon industries in their districts. The Mas sachusetts men are displeased at-the duty en hides, and their displeasure has been In creased bye pretests telegraphed them te-day from home. Mr. Ledge, who is one of the ablest members of the Repub lican side, and. who has obtained mere than ordinary prominence In the delibera tions of the party, considering" his brlef service In Congress, is reported te have said, In connection with the removal of hides from tbe free list: "I am keenly disappointed. I was told by Chslman Mo Me Klnfey en Tuesday that hides were en the free list, and I se telegraphed te my peo ple. Te-day I find myself obliged te tele graph the new action of the committee. 1 am ujialterably opposed te the duty en hides?' Mr. Chandler, from the same state, also is empbatie in his opposition te the duty en hides, as well as the increased duty en carpet wools. It is doubtful whether he or Mr. Ledge will vote ter the passage of the measure unless the rates en tbese articles are changed. Mr. Cegswell, also of Massachusetts, said that in bis opinion no bill would pass Congress with hides en the dutiable list, aud ether members from the New England states ex pressed the opinion that the committee paid no regard te the Interests of that section in framing their measure. Mr. Harmer, of Philadelphia, Is net satisfied with the rates en carpet wools and these en ether raw materials, and Is reported by the Star as having said : "Many of our Eastern manu facturers and our Republican representa tives in Congress want absolutely free raw material. It may net be proper te go quite that far, but a step In that direction should be taken at this time. There should be a re re ductlen of duties en raw material all along the line. This bill does net recognize this fact, and where some reduction, has been made In manufactured articles, which we In Philadelphia are especially Interested in, there has net been a corresponding reduc tion in the raw materials." These expres sions of opposition, however, are net sin gular when a mearure of this kind is for mulated. Ne committee could framea bill that would give satisfaction te ail the interests concerned, and some grumbling is natural te the occasion. It Is probable that before the bill Is reported te the Heuse some changes will be made that will remove the mero serious objections that new prevail. The manufacturers of oil cloth are dissatisfied with the rates pro poned en the cheaper goods. When valued at 25 cents or less per square yard the duty fixed by the committee is 40 per cent, and when valued In excess of 23 cents the duty Is 15 cents per square yard, and 30 per cent, ad vnleicm. A representative of tbe Phila delphia manufacturers was here te-day, and saw the Republican members of Uie couimlttee in reforencotothis matter. Tbese manufacturers doslre that the rate en tbe lower priced goods shall be madecompeuud as is tbe case with the higher priced goods, and that tbeduty en oil cloths valued at less than 23 cents per yard shall be eight cents per yard aud 30 per cent, ad valerem. It was shown that the bulk of the Importa tions were of this class. It is probable that a ohange will be mode in the rates en lower priced oil cloths, and that the duty will be Axed at five cents per square yard and 30 per rent, ad valerem. Tbe Democratle members are busily engaged In examining the bill and making preparations for a de termined attack upon it. Messrs. Mills and Breckinridge are tbe two Democratle members who are hunting up the facts and figures te supply their associates. The minority has net yet determined whether they will present a substitute for the bill of the majority, and no decision will be made en this point until tbey have gene ever the work of the Republicans. BISMARCK'S BIRTHDAY. A Grand Demonstration at Frlodertoha Frledertoha Frloderteha ruho In Hener of the Prince. Tuesday was tbe 7fth anniversary of the birthday of Prince Bismarck. Tbe railway station at Friedrlcbsruhe was almost blocked by the enormous number of firesent arriving for tbe prince. Eighteen lundred birthday greetings have been sent te Prlnce Bismarck. Five train leads of admirers visited Bismarck during the day. Emperor William sent his portrait. During the day Prince Bismarck received numberless congratulatory telegrams. He spent the day quietly with his family. In the evening he was serenaded. After the precession last night the prince Invited Herr Weefmann and ether Hamburg visi tors te bis home. Herr Weefmann, in the course of a conversation, expressed his hope that the prince would net be alto gether a stranger te politics, and that he would still take part in the debates In tbe Reichstag. Te this Bismarck made an acqulescent reply. The Hamburger faehrichten says that Bismarck, referring te his departure from uernti, h,iiu wai at ms age people uiu net make such a journey twice. According te the same authority, the ex-chancellor, ro re ferllng te tbe Socialist strikes, ssld that they were net tbe worst danger, for tbey would pass ever. Tbe saddest possibility for workers was the chance that the strikes would se dishearten the employers that they would lese all desire te continue bus iness. In giving Count Herbert Bismarck the Cress and Cellar of the Order of tbe Ilohen Ilehen Ilohen zellern the emperor said: "I give this cellar only In exceptional cases and for special services rendered. The links In the cellar symbelise union, and I trust that you will return te me when your health has been restored. Women at the Polls In Kansas. Elections were held In Kansas en Tues day In sixty cities. The enlv interest at taching te the elections was the exercise of the suRerage by the women who are per mitted te vote fercity officers and members of the school beard. Tbe women at Man hattan, two years age, captured all tbe city efnees. Tbe women had another ticket In the field en Tuesday, and the prospects are that It was successful. At Leavenworth, evor COO women were registered, but net half of them went te the polls. At Emperia the women were worked up te the highest pitch of excitement ever the candidacy of Mrs. Jacksen for election as a member of the school beard. She Is probably elected. At Topeka, about 750 women were regis tered, but less than half that number cast their votes. The Mayer's Court. Among tbe people befere the mayor this morning was Mayer-elect Clark, who went ever te see hew the thing works, as he expects te be bearing people by this time next week. He saw it and was satisfied. There were but two culprits te be beard. One was Walter Charles, who lives In Pequea, and was arrested in Centre Square, and tit ether waa Tbnmas Lennard, who VMM4rMktabouklet talk when in The United States Supreme Court De cision Prompts Some Streng Resolntlens. St. Paul, Minn., April 2 The Farmers' Alliance of Minnesota met here yester day and adopted a set of extraordinary resolution, relating te the recent decision of the United State supreme court in the se-called Granger ease. The resolutions are in part aa fellows : Jtetelved, That we appeal from this second Dred Scott decision te the people of the nation and we ask them te consider whether any ether raoe would submit te hare thelr liberties thus weeded away from them en technicalities bya squad of lawyers sitting as a supreme authority high abeve Congress, the president aud the people. We call attention te the fsct that citizens of Eng land, from whom we have largely derived our form of government, would net permit for one Instant a bench of judges te nullify an act of Parliament. There the pnople are properly omnipotent. Ne civilized gov ernment en earth has ever conferred such Dewers u Den an v court as are bv our con stitutien granted te the United Suites supreme court. In our nnxlety te protect the right of property, we have created a machinery that threatens te destroy the rights of man. Jteselved, That copies of tbese resolutions be sent te the alllanres of the several states of the Union with the request that they unite with ns in an effort te se amend tbe constitution of the United States as te abolish this new slavery of states and nation, established by and for the benefit of corpemlo wealth, and te make It se plain that tbe poiple are mus ters In this event that no court, however shallow or corrupt, shall ever again attempt te subject them te the domination of the artificial personages they bave thomselvos created. Jteselvetl, That we recommend the hold ing of a convention by the alllance of the United States at an early date, te consider the very grave and monstrous questions arising out of this extraordinary decision. The supreme court's opinion in the ense of the Minneapolis Eastern railway com pany vs. tbe railroad and warehouse com mission of Minnesota, and in the case of the Chicago, Mllwaukoe it St. Paul rail way company vs. the same, was as fol fel fol eows: In tbe first case the commission, without a hearing, made an order fixing 1 per car, whether leadod or unleaded, as the maxi mum amount which the railway company would be allowed te charge for handling and switching rars in Minneapolis, the rill read rate being (1.25 for empty and f 1.50 for leaded cars. The rnllreujl main tained that its rates were net unequal or unreasonable and that the prices 'fixed by the commission was an Inadequate and un reasonable compensation aud set forth the facts in regard te Its earnings and oxpenses in support of its statements. In tbe second case the commission fixed 2) cents per gallon in ten-gallon cans as a just and reasonable compensation for the transportation of milk from Owatepna or Farribatilt te St. Paul or Minneapolis, the former being seventy-one and the latter fifty-six miles away from Minneapolis. The railroad refused te comply with the commission's erders, and contended that the same rate for both distances will be unreasonable and contrary te the statute of Minnesota forbidding the giving of an unequal or unreasonable preierence or ad vantage te any particular locality; that the power te fix and establish rates be bo be lenged te that Legislature and could net be delegated te the commission; and further more, that the commission's action was un constitutional, for the reasons stated in the first case, in that it deprlves the company of Its property without due process of law. The decision of the suprome court of Minnesota was against the railroads and tbe case comes here en appeal. This court reverses that judgment, though thcie was a strong minority In favor of the state. The ground taken by the court Is that as the decision of the commission was final and as there was no prevision for a Judicial determination of the reasonableness of the rates fixed It amounted te taking the prop erty of the company without due process of law and was therefore unconstitutional. Justice Blatchford delivered the opinion of the court and Justice Bradley delivored a dlssanting opinion in behalf of himself, Justlce Gray and Justiue Lamar. Justice Miller concurred In the conclusion reached by the court, but dld'net fully appreve the opinion rendered. First of April Ilustncss. The number of pcople in town te-day was net very large, but a large amount of business was transacted. The number of Judgments received at the prothenotary's offlee en Tuesday, was 208, a number considerably less than the same day a year age. In the recorder's oflice 69 mortgages and 177 deeds were received. Compared with last year, the number of mortgages was greater, but of deeds less. The number of satisfactions entered at the prothenotary's and recorder's offices was greater than a year age. April Changes.

He was standing en tbe tank of tbe engine, the platform of which was cov ered with snow, when he slipped and fell off. He landed en the track, but had pres ence of mind enough te draw himself from under the car wheels in tlme te save bis life and himself from bad injuries. Claims for lleunty and Ilnek l'uy. Alderman Barr te day received notice that he was authorized te prosecute claims before the treasury department at Wash ington for bounty and back pay. Before such authorization is granted u certificate attesting that the applicant for such prac tice Is of geed moral character and com petent, must be slimed by a United States judge or district attorney.

THE The Secretary of Uie Brewers' Asso ciation Divulge the Mede of Con ducting the Fight of Last Year. The Prohibition leaders in New Yerk are In high glee ever n scheme Uiey concocted te deceive Harry P. Crewoll, secretary of the late Brewers' association of Philadel phia, which resulted, it is alleged, in Crow Crew oll giving away the secrets of the campaign waged in Pennsylvania last June, when tbe prohibition amendment'was defeated. The story I told in the current issue of the Veter, the organ of the Prohibitionists, and Its publications is innde for the pur pur le8e of trying te show that the defeat of the amendment waa brought about by Quay. Cooper and ether political leaders, their lnfluence having been purchased by the liquor dcaleis and brewers of Pennsyl vania, Crewcll Is a politician In the Twentieth ward of Philadelphia, and Is new a mem ber of common council from that ward. He Is the same Individual who is alleged te have been commissioned by the brewers te defeat the passage of the Brooks high llcense bill at Harrisburg, but he failed te accomplish anything. The ether day Crewoll was written te by W. E. Jehnsen, of Lincoln, Neb., as te hew the liquor men should deal with the pro hibition amendment pending in that state. In his reply, after stating his experience in Pennsylvania, Crewoll said: "The best way te distribute campaign funds Is te arrange with the local leaders te leek after their districts and workers. In seme localities spoakers are geed ; but we used very few and did very little of it. If you get the politicians en both sides they inttiience the papers, and they and the papers can win any fight j and It Is the cheapest and best way. The politicians have all the window-books, and, In fact, all the machinery and data required j whlle the ethor slde bave net, and can only de great work In places were only a few peeple reside. " Crewoll also suggested that Jehnsen should ceme te Philadelphia, as that would Jtlve him (Crewoll) a better opportunity te ay bare te the man from Nebraska the plan of the Pennsylvania uainpalgn.- The editors of the Voice happened te socure Crewoll's letter, and they have it new In thelr possession. After a consulta tion with tbe chairman of the national Prohibition committee it was decided te send Colonel R. S. Chevcs, a Prohibition worker, te Philadelphia te talk with Mr. Crewoll, giving the Philadelphia!! the impression thai he had come from W. E. Jehnsen. Tills plan was carried out, and the statements that were made are net apt te show the politicians or the press of Pennsylvania In a very desirable Crewoll slated, It is alleged, that the Pennsylvania brewers and liquor nien, foreseeing a tight ever a prohibition amendment, prepared for it by organizing a state executive committee, with Creweil as secretary, and adeptlnga plan for raising money. In the first place the committee assosseJ all sales of beer at 10 coins per barrel. It levied an assessment of $1,000 upon nil large hotels, and from $23 te (250 upon smaller hotels and shops. " Besides," said Crewoll In bis talk with Colonel Clinves, "each brower was re qui red te solicit from all kindred interests. Tbose engaged in making barrels, theso from whom we bought our horses and wagons, and grain and machlnery, were solicited te contribute te a campaign fund ; and If biicIi persons failed after a rea sonable tlme te 'de se a netice was forwarded intimating that a prompt compliance would save treuble and u possible boycott thus forcing hundreds te help us who did se reluctantly. By this plan we raised evor $200,000, which was expended by the state committee. Besides, local committees In every community raised and expended large siimsduring the campaign and en election day. Appeals for money were made te the trade through out the country, and large sums were con tributed by the Brewers' association and the National Protective association." The Pblladelphian also Buowed Colonel Cheves bow this meney was used te de feat the amendment. Te such state lead ers as "Bill" Leeds, "Charlie" Perter (who Is chairman of the Republican com mittee of Philadelphia), Coepor, "Dave" Martin and ethors, und a let of Democratic leaders (500 apiece was paid, and (200 apiece te local leaders. When Mr. Creweil wag asked If Quay had been paid any menev, be replied: "Did I pay Quay any money T Yes. Fer inroe years ne uieu us, ana our contribu tions te him came very near beating us at the polls. It was ropertod that we contri buted money te defeat Cleveland, and the Democrats get bold of it and a plan was en feet te have the Democratle vote cast for the amendment as a punishment te the Republican brewers of the stale, and it would bave succeeded If I had net found it out and 'fixed' the boys. We had all tbe werkers en our slde, and tbe machines of both old parties were with us. We paid the county commissioners of the county te let us have the poll list exclusively for our use, with tbe understanding that we were net te return the list until after the elec tion ; se the Prohlbltleulsts had no show whatover against us." Mr. Creweil also stated that the Prtt had received money from the committee. Weekly papers were paid from $50 te $500 te publish such matter as the cemmittee might furnish, whlle the city dally papers were nald from $1,000 te 81,000 the latter sum, Creweil stating, having been paid te the Philadelphia Tunes. The Ledger was paid 40 cents a line, and the Ittceril 00 cents- Kate Field was also employed by the couimlttee at $25 per day and excuses. "But slie is no geed,'' Mr. Creweil added. As Colonel Ctieves was departing Mr. Creweil said : " Ne ; you need net go te Quay. He tries te be en both sides. It was reported during our campaign that he would vete fertheamendment. Our com mittee investigated the report. Quay denied it. and satisfied us that it was false; but all of Quay's strongest personal friends supporters were with us beyond doubt, and it w us understood, with his approval. It was for that influence we contributed liberally te his support for three years. " Mr. Creweil was found at his home, 1731 North Eighth street, at 1 o'clock this morning, by a Philadelphia Preu reporter and wae Invited te muke a statement In te the allegations made by the veire. He had already read the dispatch, "I have nothing te say," replied Mr. creweil wuu greai empnasis. " Will you nolther atllrm or deny the statements r" " I hate nothing te say whatever," he replied with still greater emphasis. " That neither convicts or acquits, " he added with a smile. A flne Display. The display of fireworks by Ooerge Klrchcr, in celebration of his birthday, was gUeti in front of the hotel at Lime and East King streets last evening. There was a tremendous crowd of men, wemen and children prosent, but the small and very bad boy was tbe most prominent. A num ber of set pieces and very line rockets were sent oil', but the Umt of the evening was the flne large eagle. A splendid lunch te all of Mr. Kircher'a friends followed the firework h. A Plngue of Itats. A plague of rats is causing tbe farmers and ethers of Northern Berks a large amount of treuble and considerable finan cial less. In many cases stacks of un tbreshed grain have been almost totally ruined by thelr depredations, llatsgnawed a hole into a molasses barrel at Degler's store, at Schubert, and the barrel was nearly emptied before the leak was dis covered. A Substitute for the Dependent Hill. , Tbe Merrill service pension bill, appro priating ever $35,000,000 and giving a pen sion te all soldiers above the age of 62, will be reported te the Heuse as a substitute for the Senate dependent pension bill. An Increase of Pension. Martin Keener, through his agent, Alder man Barr, has obtained an incrw of pen- "sews f , m a per saent SUPPLIED WITH BF.ER. Relatives and Friends of llniprlsoued Liquor beaters Bring Thern Wlnea and Liquors. There Is a geed deal of comment and criticism ever the manner In which the fourteen landlord new confined In the Berk county jail are belnj allowed te carry en. . It appears that all of their friends and relatives who come te see them bring bot bet bot tles of liquor and beer, and even cham pagne te (hem, which they are allowed te have In their cells, se that they are able te drink as much and te exercise the same kind or hospitality as If they were still be hind their bars. They seem te have every sort of liberty, and two or them were ac tually seen the ethor day walking around In the park, outside of the Jail. A curious thing happened en Sunday which shows the "apoak-easy" character or the Jail. Several persens from Phila delphia wero In Reading and started out te find a place where I hey could get a drink. They were unsuccessful for a long lime, until finally some one suggested that they should go te the Jail. They acted en the hint and went In under pretense or attending rollgieus services which wero going en. Once In they wero introduced te seme of the Imprisoned land lords, when thelr cravings for stimulants were abundantly supplied. A Tax Case Argued. Argument In the state tax cases was re sinned bofero Judges Slinonten and Mc pherson In Harrisburg en Tuesday. A claim oftlie state against the CentralTrans CentralTrans CentralTrans portatlen company, in which a number of Lancastrians are Interested, occupled most of the aftorneou, In 1887 tbe company re el uced its capital stock from $50 te $38 per share, returning the dlfluronce te its share holders. Jehn Q. Jehnsen and M, E. Olmstead, en behalf of the company, con tended that this was merely a reduction of capital stock, nnd net taxabie; whlle J. C. McAlarney, special counsel for the com mon wealth, aigued that It was te be treatodaNadivldend, and made the com pany subject te a tax of about $28,000. The commonwealth sublicensed as wltness F. Weckerly, secretary or the cemiwny, and Evans Merris, M. Richards Muckle, Frank S. Mllneaud William II. Lucas, directors. Mr. Weckerly and Mr. MeMensmln, a stockholder, were called upon te testify. The secretary read at great leugth from the minutes of llie oempanv, showing that the transaction was a I eductien of capital stock und net a'dlvldend. The money thus re turned te the stockholders was the fund about which the Pullman company and the Centra) bad extenalve litigation In Phila delphia. The Contest in Rhede Island. The Rhede Island state election takes place te-day, and In vlew of the new ele ments entering Inte the contest the resuil Is problematical. Chief among these com plicating elenients Is the Austral Inn ballet system which Is te receive Its first trial. The Domecrata claim that the previsions of the law are se Intrlcate that they will net be able te poll their vete. The Republi cans, en the ethor hand, rear socret scratch ing. The Domecratlo gubernatorial candidate is Jehn Da is " Honest Jehn" as his friends call him, while the Republicans run Governer II. W. Ladd for a second term.
