White Chulrmnn and Mr. Con secretary, wllh Mr. tlorslman aa of-fU-lal atenoKrapber, and Deputy KheritT Ivcllr aa Hergeant-at-Arma. About half-past ten Pony Wulaln, E-Presldaiit of tha Uncoln Club, carorted Into the arena. He bad uad tb moothlng Iron on his bend and face With more than ordinary eare.

and there was not a wrlnk or areas In elgnt. A smile of dlstra played ovor his features, bis face waa unusually pale, bla breath came abort and ancertnln. and he dt i not look at all happy. Upon being sworn AlaclHlmed nypertonal kuowledg of fraud. Th witness stated an Inatance of a man In the Ninth Ward who was pointed ont as a repeater, hut did not know which tlcicet he voted.

It Was th) general understanding that the Lincoln Club, of which be waa not now either an offlperor a committeeman, bad appointed an Investigating committee, eonslsting of Smith A. Whltflvld. Chairman; Amor mtth. Lwwla Voitbt. 8am Bailey and otic other.

The Club's appropriation for tha work was KM. Witness could not furnish th names of any persona who could help In discovering frauds at the late election. His Club did not appropriate any money thla spring for the campaign la any shape, although It was the uansl uttesi todvotSBOO to th cause, lie had aa personal knowledge of fraud, and nl-thouuah frauds war thought to be common hthoOfhth could safely sav tht the Inst Presidential race was an exception. Tha club never appropriated more than fSOO; this he knew to be a fnct, as he never miased a meeting. True, th Campaign Committee, on Its own personal aeeoant.

solicited subscriptions, but these sums never appeared nn the club's books. In this way tha committee secured about S3.000 daring the Presidential year. Tba little man seemed unuaually void of any Information that would throw any lljrht noon tha work of tha committee, and when be was told that he eonid go he sped from th seen as swiftly and noiselessly aa one of tba first butterflies of spring. Th committee was onable to And anymore troth-tellers to keep It employed during the morning, and a recess was taken until two O'clock, when M. Haltead.

tha virtuou editor, a ad his bosom friend. Colonel Robert Startaa, ware expected to paint tba surroundings red. When the honr for convening came the dusky warrior, sad and solemn as a second Othello, waa on hand. He was sworn, and took bis sent at the side of the table occupied by the reporters and the committee. Chairman Whit sat at the head of the ible.

with slwsra. Myr on bl right and Bmnneron bit left. Harlan aat to tba left, and behind hltn. at another table, sat Eddie Eshelby. Uml Dan Wolf and other apectntor.

The short-band report will show what took plaoe. Atl was smooth sailing until Mr. Myers began to ernes iismlas th Colonel, when he be gs, ma unbalanced, and In an Instant there was gore on tb moon. The Colonel had some armed to kill, and for a time It looked aa though there might be a vacancy in the Franklin County delegation. The Colonel made all the motions to pnll his gun while be and Mr.

Myers stood facing eiich other. ddy Esbelby and Uncle Dn seised their bats and started for the door to get out of range. The stenographer ant under the table, and whll Chairman White waa lawnlng a pence proclamation Deputy Sheriff Kelly stood by quietly and anxiously waiting for orders. In th midst of the uproar Editor Ilslaiend cam onto tha field of battle, and as be grasped the Sis of the riot ba looked Ilk a boy who fonnd a hornet's nest with all the hornet at horn. Colonel Harlan was given an on- portoalty to reflect over his failure to bull-dose and frier.

teu. and Field Marshal Hal atead waa called and sworn. Mr. Halstead wore hi usual cynical smile, a suit of gray alothaa and a cenutn Iiih thorn cane. The smile covered hla euasedn, the clothes hi nakedness, and ha used the stick aa a aort of companion for bla narvonsness.

Rvral time nis Nibs trod on the very verge of facet lousnesa, but hla general demeanor showed that he had a due appreciation of the gravity of tb occasion. Ha did not vent a re far from shore, and his testl-sneny demonstrates what a inacnlflcent fabrication a great editorial mind can erect on airy foundation. History fall to record a mora touching picture than Halstead swearing that Harlan waa an ancel.

Is an officer of that club, that hey have put It In the shape of evidence, and that they bad struck an, extraordinary vein of It. The persons and details of ll were not communicated to me further I hnn the gen eral results, and lfwas understood the pub lications were made with the desire of Inter esting persons who knew of frauds, so that Ihey would put themselves In communt cation with the Lincoln Club. The Lin coln Club, aa I think, had that mat ter In charge, and has. I believe, a for midable pike of inannscrlpu which was taken with great care and particularity, and they attach a great deal of Importance to It. I have not seen It.

President of tbe Union National Bank of Cincinnati, we win esteem It a great favor If be la reportra to tbls office. The price of thla copy of tbe Ex QCiae to five cents, with Ranker Hugn and his carver thrown In, Mr. Hughe was bora In Rockingham County. Virginia. In 1812, or poor but bnneat parents.

Tb only peculiarity about the child at Ita birth was tbatlt had a silver spoon In IU mouth. The spoon was of solid allvr. and Mr. Hughes has clung to it ever "since. He spent his early days on hi father's farm.

near Dayton, and tr nayion naa oeen smart she would have kept blm there. Like hla contemporary. Mr. Larkln. Mr.

Hughes developed a great faculty for figures at a very early age. At fifteen he could figure out of going for Ihe cow, much to ih dtagust of bl brother, wbo wr not so apt In this branch. This taste for mathematics ultimately deter mined hi choice of business pursuit. Coming to Cincinnati, pounded on the door of lh Trader' Branch of th Hut Bank of Ohio and demanded a Job. The President of the bank saw at a glanr lhatagreal financial bralu throbbed la tbe youthful eocoanul be fore blm.

and young Hughes wo at once en gaged at a large salary to chunk up the cellar wall to keep the rata from getting lu and eating up tbe bank notes. From this position of trust and eiuoluiurul be was promoted to teller. 11 told with such succes that tbey made him cashier. It is perhaps needless to say that be cashed with Just as much ability aa ba bad told- In any place be was put ha waa sim ply great- As teller lie could tell a lead quarter without eating It, and aa cashier heoould etish a check for 1UU aa quick aa most men could cash one for (76, Leaving ih Trader' Mr. Bogbe served with Hroead A Co.

till May, 1833, when the partnership of Mmead, Col lard A Hughe was formed, Mr. Hughes bavlng one-quarter In terest In the business. Later tbe firm of Evans, Bwlft A Hughes was started. Mr. Hugbc ultimately buying out bis partners and running tbe shebang alone.

One sultry day in August, U81, when an ordinary man would bave been loafing and Inviting bis soul in an Ice-cream saloon, Mr. Hughe organized tb Colon National Bank, with a capital of tSUU.OOU He did thla. too, without sweating out bis collar, sud It Is therefore not strange that be was elected President. In th rapid construction of thla able article (with portrait) our bl.torlan neglected to mention at the proper place that the firm of Smead, Collord 4 Hughe went under lo tbe crisis of '37. Id order to meet bis liabilities to hla depositors Mr.

Hughes gave up bis by law, such as hU stockings and underclothing, and applltd the proceeds lo take up checks snd certificates against bis bank. Having paid every dollar outstanding against him. Including lils subscription to country newspaper which was wholly unnecessary for blm to' pay It established a basis of renewed credit, aud when the time came for asking a renewal of confidence on the part of depositors, capital flowed In upon him. The artist baa aetxed ibis auyplcious moment to sketch Mr. Hughes when Is flowing la upon blm till be can't rest, as we may say.

Mr. Hnghea borrowed the life of Napoleon and read It when quite a boy, and It fired him with a mnrtlul spirit which he was never wholly able to subdue. Had he not been a banker be would probably have been a Napoleon himself. Wben he was choosing a career he debated long and earnestly whether he would be a fierce son of Mars and eat hardtack and sow-belly or be a man of finance and buve bis luncb sent in from a restaurant. There was no war at that time, and a warrior has no chance unless there Is war.

Added to thl was the argument of two ktnds of meat and three vegetable from th restaurant, and Mr. Hughes steeled hla heart against ihe fas-cinatloos of the red field and conquest, and bveame a great banker. At the breaking ont of the late civil war he had bard work lo restrain himself from buck ling on bl a word and mailing Into tba Imminent deadly breach. Had be done this somebody- would bave been hurt, sure. Although ordlnarilly man of dovc-llt disposition, when aroused Mr.

HuaheVi wears a front Ilk Jove to threaten and command. When enraged he will tackle the fieri Kumldinn lion as quick as he will a Jack rabbit- Not being able entirely to restrain his warlike soul dur ing the rebellion Mr. Hughe hurled himself Into a company, at Glendale, and was at once elected Lieutenant, N. C. McLean (afterward General McLean) was Captain of the company, and upon his promotion Lieutenant Hughes waa elected Captain and served In that rapacity for two years.

Two days lu every week during the two long' and bloody yiptr Lieutenant Hughes alternated la Gletidal and sprlugdale drilling his company In Ihe manual of arms and military tactic generally. But th rebels never showed up la either (lleudale or Hprlngdale; and It's an almighty lucky thing fur them that they dldnX But there Is no need to follow Mr. Hughes rurther In 'his career.
