The sentiment is unanimous in favor of the re nominaticn of Hon. Henry Poehler. He has served with credit' to himself and the State, end if he will accept the j nomi nation he will -.: be re-elected.

This is rather harrowing to those : who have hoped otherwise, but it is one of the vicissitudes of lie which render existence a weariness and a burden- A CAMPAIGN Or LIBS. It appears that the radical office-holders rely for success on promiscuous, miscellane ous aud general lying. They lie generally and in detail, by day and night, in season and out of season. As fast as one lie is ex ploded another is invented. There "are lies of every color, race and creed, black and tan lies, and white and yellow lies, infidel lies and religious lies, lies outright and lies down right, : lies about everything and about everybody. In this great moral work, the Associated Press has gotten to be a co-worker and dose partner. "What the chief liars utter, the missionary liar publishes arid scatters abroad. This is the radical game of brag.' __■ "i"' When. Garfield was nominated there was to be no mud throwing. , It was to be a decent campaign. The radical liars pro tested in advance against tbe - exposure of Garfield by Oakes Ames, and denounced Ames as a perjured villian; they protested against the DeGolyor pavement job as be ing a bribe, declaring that Garfield only re ceived an attorney's fee, and declared that the Credit Mobilier swindle was the grandest and most patriotio national enterprise of the nineteenth century. They thought Poland's Congressional report was out of print and a misstatement of facts would | answer, j The Republicans, for once,; promised to be de cent^;; -;\ What is tbe result? No sooner had Gen eral Hancock been nominated, than the radical lying began. His record was pure and spotless. The' splendor of his patriot ism was shining still on a hundred battle fields. Two rehabilitated States saved from annihilation stood forth to attest his ability as a civil ruler. - The representatives of five millions - of Democrats— a large majority .of . the j voters of . the limited States— declared him to be their choice for President. Lincoln had pronounced him to be the most brilliant general of the war. He was known and ad mired and loved by Democrats and Repub licans alike, personally, as a true, honest, generous, whole-souled gentleman. •'. 77 1. Have the office- leeches spared him? No." Out of the profundity of their despair came lie number one. Hancock was dis loyal. He had written a treasonable letter to Gen. Sherman. The letter was published, and no more patriotic, abler, and more loyal document has been laid before the Ameri can people. The Republicans retreated in dismay, and down to hell went lie number one. i-'_a 2. Lie number two declared that Wade Hampticm had turned traitor and uttered words of treason at Stanton, Virginia. Hamp ton, whose chivalrous honor is above, suspi cion, whom all union men praised for his zealous efforts for peace, whom the Hayes fraud could not touch, whom the negroes even of South Carolina had elected gov ernor and aided to send to the Senate, and whose career has been approved by both Republicans and Democrats, was heralded as a new born traitor by the radical partisan press throughout the country. No 'one ever accused General Hampton of lying. •'What good," he says, "to deny this story, to instantly be confronted with a more des perate fabrication. I neither used the words ittributed to me, nor anything approaching them in meaning.'** Is this not enough for lie number two? ~ 8. It was given out that the Republicans and Weaver would carry Alabama, and Weaver waa actually so green that he went there to speak and to collect money to pay his electioneering expenses. . The Democrats carried the State by 100,000. Weaver skip ped, and the Bads declared it to be a swindle. The truth was that there was no Republican ticket in the field, and that neither Republi cans, nor Democrats, nor Greenbackers, would vote the Weaver lunatic ticket. _. The. next lie is that John Kelly has been bought by Conkling and intends to split New York. This is now going the rounds. The purpose of course is to with draw attention from Indiana and Ohio, where the real fight is now going on, and where the Hancock column, stronger and stronger every day, is marching to as sured victory. Time and space would fail to mention the numberless looal and smaller lies of the radical canvass. The office holders are shivering with cold and whistle to keep their courage up. Meanwhile the Demo cratic columns all over tbe country are forming for victory. Looal dissensions will be healed, and, the persistent; Republican lying to the contrary notwithstanding, the shrill trump of November will sound de feat throughout all the routed and disorder ly ranks of the offioe holders' rabble. An attempt was made to assassinate ex- Judge Sherman Page at his residence in Austin last evening. According to the brief telegraphic report a . coward ly assassin fired a shot gun at the Judge, through the window of his residence, and inflicted _ injuries whioh " ore serious, though they are not necessarily fatal. This is a continuation of the disgraceful tur- moil which has agitated Austin and Mower county for the past ten years. It is withal a Republican war. This season Judge Page has been an active anti-Dunnell man and headed one. of the double headed delega tions from ", Mower county to the Waseca convention. He acted with the Ward faction .of ' the party and the at tempted assassination will, quite possibly ,be traced to some of Dunnell's enraged office holders who desire to disapprove of Judge Page's course, with the emphasis of a shot gun. If this had occurred in a Southern State there would have been a universal cry of Ku-Klux raised by the Republican shriek ere. It would have been accepted as proof conclusive that the war was still in progress, that the rebel debt was to be paid, the form er slaves restored to bondage and the coun try given over to Jeff. Davis. Judge Page is not a . loveable . pereen. He is not a being around whom the tendrils of ' affection - would naturally. - twice, but there is no reason on that account - that he should be assassinated. The cowardly act is the natural outgrowth of the arrogant domineering and murderous Ku-Klux polioy of the Republican paity. It is in accordance with the teachings and policy of .that organ ization, and, if Judge Page j should die, his taking off would be a Republican murder. It is probably the policy of the . Dunnell ring to endeavor to carry their point by the use of the shot gun, : and thus intimidate a free and independent ballot. - t Cut this out. ; The vote of President Til den in 1876 '• was 4,284,265; Hayes, 4,033, -295.

Subseque t to these proceedings and acts, aud after this action had been to the supreme court, upon sppe-1, and tbe said matters involved therein had been disponed of, sail receiver applied to this court for an or ler requiring ss'd defendant to show cause why - he should not be declared and adjudged to - have mads default in the payment of : the _ said sum -of $4,100, and why the said sum of ' $500 earnest money should not be declared and adjudged forfeited, by reason of said default, and why said receiver should not be ordered and directed to resell said real prop erty. and for such other and further relief as might be proper la the premises ; and that such order to show cause was made returnable before this court at chambers ; and that the same was heard before me on the 24th day of July, 1878, A. W. Bugs, Esq., op p -aring for said receiver, and A 111 s k A Ills then appear ing for said defendant. That upon the hearing of sold order at chambers on the 24th day of July. 1878, said Allls ft Allts for and in behalf of said defendant, consented that said real property should 'be resold by said reoeiver as directed by said judgment, but objected to said $500 being adjudged forfeited, and that thereupon this court made the order bearing date July 21th, 1878, a copy of which is hereto annexed, and that thereafter tbe said receiver sold said real property for the rum of $3,610.00, that being the highest sum he could have bid thereon. ' -. " . -:' 7 The defendant ' claims that because by said last s*_PJlllllP*lllipi!la*all^^ said property "In the same mar as if no such sale of tbe same had heretofore been made," that said first 8 tie was in all respects rescinded by the oourt, and that therefore defendant is cut tied .to a return of his $500. In this defendant is in error. ' The or der, iv that resneot simply, directed the receiver as 1 1 tbe "m inner" in wbiob he should mate that sale, and It expressly reserved the question of the forfeit ure of that ._>>!>. only denying at that time the mo tion to declare it forfeited. :. . - It was also agreed that the second ssls should havo been made at the risk of defendant as first purchaser, etc . It is only necessary tossy, in ice ply to this, that the above mentioned proceeding nnder the said order to show oanse was a substantia', if not literal, com pliance with the rule in such os-ins, as laid down in the case cited by defendant's counsel upon this mo tion. The principal cisc being [as I understand their brief] Sill vs. Hill, 58 111, 239. Tee follow ing quotation from that case, and which I take from that brief, is certainly sound In principle and con clusive again*.! defendant upon this motion : -'- _ I "The court, It Is true, will | sometimes, when the purchaser Is a party to the . suit, and . entitled to a share of the proceeds of the sale, reserve the ques tion by whom the costs and expenses of the : resale, the costs of the application, and the loss aod defl c enoy are to be borne; and, however, it might have been In this particular case (the only objection being as to the terms of resale) we hold it fatal to this claim that Hill, previous to the making of the order of resale, had never been called npon to complete his purchase and allowed an opportunity to show cause for not doing so." . '.-.: - ; r.*..V_- Undoubtedly It would have been fatal to receiver's claim to this money if defendant had not, before the order for a resale was nude, been allowed on oppor tunity to complete his purchase or show cause for not doing so Here he was allowed that opportu nity to complete bis purchase or show cause. That was tbe only object, purpose and effect of the said order to show cause which was served upon him, and in response to which he appeared by his counsel, as above stated ; upon tbat hearing that $500 was not adjudged forfeited for the sole reason that that should not in equity be done until it was seen to what extent, if any, ■ the estate was the loser by his failure to pay the amount of his bid. This is cer tainly the correct practice, even under the authori ties cited by defendant's counsel. . .". If the order for resale had been made ex parte, and thus without giving the defendant an opportuni ty to be heard, or to complete bis purchase, or show oanse why the property should not be resold, the au thorities cited by defendant's counsel would be di rectly __. point, bnt in this case the defendant had mat very notice and opportunity to oomplete his pur chase or show cause why he should nor, and his mis fortune is that he did neither.

He tried his level best to let himself into the house, snd reach his bed without' disturbing his wife's slumbers. It was no go. He had been waited for, and of jurse was confronted at once with tbe inquiry as to where be had been until that late hour.

"But the fire did nut break out until two o'clock, 1 ' said the suspicious little woman. I "That's so," said the perplexed husband, "but had to (bic) wait for it yon know!".

About closing np time Mr. Biebethfdonned his hat, which is a stiff-crowned affair, and prepared to quit busi ness for the night. ■ While about to make bis exit from tbe door that almost abuts on the corner of Seventh and Jackson streets, a heavy pane of glass fell from the transom and strik bim on the head -he was - felled ' to the '-. floor. A portioned the glass cut its way through the heavy material of the hat, and lodged in his head, cutting a very ugly gash, while the blood spouted freely from a cut . artery. ! 'The hat broke the force of the glass, or the injury would have no doubt . been - great enough to orove fatal. His injuries were dressed by Dr. Q'linn, who pronounces them not very serious, and yesterday he was getting along all right.

The following communication was read : St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 10th, 1880. Dbab Sib: Will you please call tbe attention of the City Council to the necessity of provid ing some publio conveniences for the strangers who come among us, if not for our own people. There is scarcely a day Ido not bear com plaints made by visitors at : our hotels, tbat there is no plaoe where an invalid can sit down out of doors, .or where a sick babe ' can .be trundled in peace and quiet in the shade. And for this very reason I have known a number of families of summer visitors to leave here the past few weeks r.nd seek other places where out door oomfort can be obtained. . Comfortable in our own ; homes, :we little think of the miseries of tbe sick man confined to the little room or to the narrow halls of a hotel. . - '-" - '7■-"•-■ :" There is absolutely no other place for him to go. He can get on the oars to ride in tbe dust, but there is no place, from .one end of the town to the other, where he can find a quiet seat in the shade. We did have one spot that was ! our pride. Now that is gone. ' Onr beautiful Bice ; park is no more. Its fence gone; its grass trampled out of existence; its neglected fountain an un sightly mud i hole, and its seats ,- filled with tramps and drunken loafers. It is a sorry look ing place. ' Now all this oan easily be remedied. With a neat fence, some more seats,' and proper police supervision, Bioe park may again be mode to serve the purpose intended by its generous giver.' : '-'.'- Then, at the - corner of Third and Washington streets, opposite the Me tropolitan hotel, there is an unoccupied piece of pnblio ground whioh might easily be provided with seats and shade, and made a most desirable resting place. Again, from the foot of Market street there is presented , one of the finest views in America, and a very small expenditure of money might here provide, on public property, a covered platform, on a' level with. Third street sidewalk, which would speedily become a favorite resort, not only for strangers, . but for our own citizens. " 7 77 : There are other points about tbe city where, at small expense on public property, beautiful little - parks may . be formed and these little spots, kept clean and quiet by the street force and the. police, will be of much greater value than the wide park which in the distant future we hope to have. Yours respectfully, _ D. W. Hard. In connection with the communication, Al derman Bell offered a resolution requesting the committee on parks to ; report what property fitted for park purposes oan now be obtained 'within the ' limits |of the city, and on what terms can such property be obtained. The resolution was adopted, and both : the communication and the resolution were re ferred to the oommittee on parks. . An order was directed to be drawn in favor of J. S.
