A BURIED WELL.
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.

A BOOM FOR TOM JOHNSON.
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

“AYERS:
SARSAPARILLA
—_$._P._SMrirn,._of Towanda, Pa,
whose constitution was completely
broken down, is cured by Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla. He writes:
For eight years, I was, most of the
time, a great sufferer from constipation, kidney trouble, and indigestion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. IT was
induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect condition, and, in all their functions, as
regular as clock-work. At the time
I vegan taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds; I now ean
brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so
good health. If you could see me before and after using, you would want
me for a traveling advertisement.
T believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market to-day.”
