Dug Forty-Two Years Ago and Still the Wall and Covering Remain. While men were digging a ditch today for a drain pipe from Chadwick’s saloon to connect with the sewer pipe in front of J. J. Ott’s assay-\ce, Main street, they cut into _an old. well, located near the center of the street, and in front of A. D. Tower’s building. The two-inch sugar pine planks that covered the well are still firm and well preserved, and the stone curbing was as firm and solid as. could be. A few of the older residents remember when this well was used as a public drinking place. It was dug iv 1852, and was known as the Frisbie well. It was closed in ’54 or thereabouts and the “street has since then been filled in above the} well for nearly three feet. The trap-door covering the well was lifted off, and. the iron ring with which it was provided wa: removed and given tu John 8. Gregory as ai memento. Mr. Gregory’s grandfather, U. S. Gregory, contributed towards digging. the well, he keeping in those days a hotel known as the Metropdlis and which was s.tuated in the space now taken up by Union street. Tom Marker says he remembers drinking from the well in ’52. Dr. Hunt sayshe remembers it very dis tinctly, and also remembers another wel! dug on Main street in 1850, in front of where Legg & Shaw’s hardware store now stands, and which was probably the first well ever dug here. The old well that was cut into today wa: probably fifteen feet deep. It is being filled up with rock. ANOTHER STRIKE.

A Republican Paper Nominates a Democratic Candidate For President. The Democrats of northern Ohio are just now taking an unusual interest in the great political tragedy which their party is placing upon the boards of the national theater at Washington. Their chagrin at the failure of their party to keep its pledges knows no bounds. They are in favor'of a radical reduction of the tariff, and upon that line they are massng their forces for 1896. They will favor only such a candidate for the presidency as will voice this sentiment. A general opinion prevails here that the man whose political course has been consistent and who has the best claim to the honor of a Democratic nomination is an Ohioan. He is a free trader,,a single tax advocate and a Henry George adherent. That Ohio Democrat is Congressman Tom L, Johnson of the Twentyfirst district. This sentiment, thus far, is confined to northern Ohio. Two arguments are advanced in favor of Johnson by his followers. He is absolutely consistent and is not prominently connected with any particular faction of his party in Ohio. He is not as near to the Cleveland administtation as is ex-Governor Campbell, but much nearer than Senator Brice. . . There arejmany reasons why Democrats think there is reason to believe the nomination is coming west of the Alleghany mountains, Ohioans say the party must not go too far west. They believe the Republicans will find their candidate in northern Ohio and in the person of Governor McKinley, and why, say the er on the same ground? They say, too, that no man in Ohio has been more pronounced in his opposition to Governor McKinley’s views than has the free trade representative of this district. Judge E. J. Blandin of Cleveland, who stands among the most influential party advisers of the state, made a significant remark the other day in characterizing Congressman Johnson. ‘‘He is a Napoleon,” declared the judge. ‘He is ambitious to be a Vanderbilt and equally ambitious to be: president of the United States. He will be a Vanderbilt, and he may be president of the United States.” Judge Blandin’s views will find approval in many minds. Men who know Johnson admire him. Like the immortal Blaine, he is magnetic; like President Cleveland, he cares for no party faction; but, like great Cesar, he is ambitious. He is a man of immense wealth and at the same time has a big following among the laboring classes. By a display of frankness at least he has made for himself a substantial following. Tom L., -Johnsen—occupies“a unique position in Ohio politics. The boldness of his views has fascinated men who hold opinions entirely at Variance with his own, An outspoken warrior in the arena of politics isa novelty. It is especially difficult for Ohio Democrats to find a leader just now whose views are known. In John‘Son a leader has been found whose political creed is as clearly outlined and as fearlessly proclaimed as is the creed of Governor McKinley, whom Ohioans, regardless of party, have come to call the logical candidate of the Republicans for the great contest of 1896.’ The only question which Democrats here are considing is as to whether the views of the single tax member from Ohio will meet with the approval of the convention which will be called upon to name the leader. Ohio Democrats have gone. into many conventions heretofore with a delegation divided among itself., There have been McLeans and Thurmans, Paynes and Pendletons, and today there are Brices and Campbells. Factions, fatal factions, have marked the corventions’6f Democrats of Ohio for 20. years. The has not grown too great by feeding upon or in the Democratic farce comedy of the summer of 1896. The name of Tom L. Johnson seems to start a spirit of enthusiasm among the faction of ‘‘kids” and ‘‘mossbacks” alike, and it would not take much to start~ his political stock moving sky ward. The rise of Congressman Johnson has been remarkable. Ten years ago he was in obscurity. He made a few fortunate investments in street car enterprises with his limited means. He has quadrupled his fortune about every two years. Six years ago he entered politics with a well filled barrel and a first class following. He met with defeat. Two years later he tried it and won, He was re-elected over the Hon. O. J. Hodge, and he will be nominated once more without opposition this fall. He will have to work against disrupting factions, and it is this single fact that causes apprehension among his friends, If hecan overcome party opposition, he may get his seat in congress once more, A prominent Cleveland Democrat, just returned from the state capital tonight, stated that the political battlefield of the 1ation was going to center in Ohio for he next two years. He drew a little digram of the political battlefield about ike this: ‘John R. McLean, editor of che Cincinnati Enquirer, will be a canlidate for the senate to succeed Calvin 4. Brice. I am absolutely certain of this fact. Senator Brice will be a presidential candidate, and so will Tom L. Johnson, Ex-Governor Campbell can expect nothing, for he is faithless to his friends and does not remember them, Johnson is a stronger man in Ohio than Brice. Both are rich, and both are fighters. Neither will yield until beaten. Johnson will win.” It is generally conceded that the preliminary skirmish for Johnson is to be made this fall. If he can overcome party factions and-a Republican majority in his own congressional district, he will be a leading candidate before the Demo¢ratic convention of 1896,—Cleveland Cor.
