The sympathy shown for A. C. Hesing, even outside of the city of Chicago, is proven by the following letter:

"Kankakee, June 29, 1876.

"Dear Mr. Hesing,

"In the name of most of the Germans here, irrespective of party affiliations, I wish to extend to you my deepest sympathy.

"Should we be able to do something for you by way of a petition, kindly notify me.

Respectfully yours,

Charles Schneider."

The meeting held last night by the Germans from Town Lake and from the South Side, was well attended and the petition was signed by a great number.
