Millek, Clerk. George Ellenberger, aged 17, last week entered the bedroom of his employer, R. F. Steward, of Palmyra, Lenawee county, robbed the pocket of the sleeping Robert, of $115 and hid it in the barn. Stewart and wife thought the lad innocent, but the uncharitable undersheriff, Ferguson, made him own up. It is the right and duty of some of the Lenawee republican congressional delegates to be ashamed of themselves. Moreover, if they were possessed of the excellence of character that at the last cropped out of Judas, they would purchase some cheap but firm rope and commit themselves to strangulation. Lenawee had as brainy and brilliant a candidate for congress as any that could have been nominated - that keen lawyer and captivating orator, Grant Fellows. Lenawee was bound to him by caucus edict, but basely deserted him, for no worthier cause than that they were overawed by the Spalding sluggers. Twice Jackson gave Fellows her 23 votes, and twice he lacked but one of a nomination. He was assassinated in the house of his friends, by Lenawee traitors. Western Lenawee will not forget it.
