REPUBLICAN ENTHUSIASM.

After having sent out call far and
wide throughout Tuscarawas county call
ing upon the people to come in and hear
Senator Wade, the Black Republicans
mustered at New Philadelphia on the II lth
an enormous mass meeting Of fifteen peo-
pie. They first talked of adjourning till
night, but at o'clock they managed to
get crowd of men, boys and women of
all parties, numbering sixty, of whom ff-
teen were from the country.
This is fair sample of the Republi-
can Mass meetings. Chase spoke the
other day to seventy people for three
hours; and Warden delivered his "Old
Dred Scott" lament, in another place, to
a grea. concourse of thirty. The Demo-
cratic township meetings in this county,
at which General Geiger and Judge Rankin
speak, are much larger than majority
of the Congo mass meetings. States

trail America foundered on Saturday last.
Fifty passengers were rescued by the Nor
wegian barque Eloise, including twenty
six females.-The officers were all lost
except JAS. NJ Frazier, I'd officer. The

crew consisted of l0l men, and passen-
gers 525. Total 626 souls.
SAVANNA, Ga, Sept. 1S.-The bark
Saxony arrived at this port this morning,
with five passengers rescued from the
wreck of the Central America. She re-
ports the total loss of the vessel, treasure,
mails, and about five hundred passengers.
A portion of the crew, together with the
women and children passengers, number
ing in all forty persons, were saved by
the brig Marine, bound to Boston
The sea was very heavy at the time the
ship foundered. Forty-nine other pas
sengers were picked up by the bark Eloise.

ORGANIZED. ORGANIZED II

Let the Democrats in every township
go to work and organize the party. Let
no effort be spared to bring out every
Democrat to the polls. Don't wait for
somebody else, but pitch in.
!. Several counties in the State-Fair-
field and Holmes among them-have de-
termined to win the banner. Go to work
and save our laurels. We can beat them
if the Democrats are urged out. Shall
it be done, or will we sit quiet and set
our honors lost?
We have the utmost confidence that {
full vote of the Democracy will carry the
State by large majority, and let it no
be said that in such crisis old Monrot
failed to do her duty.j

Woicot as Fund Commissioners, disposed
of over 100000 of bonds, at 103,
which they might readily have sold for
ITO, or apward; the session of the last
Legislature was the longest of any that
has met since the new constitution, as
well as the most extravagant and corrupt:
having out Smelling Committees the year
round, and paying the members 81 per
day for ferreting out Democratic frauds,
while their own State officers were elbow

The Democratic State Ticket IN New
York

The following are the Democratic NOM
nations for State, officers in New York !:
Secretary of State, Gideon j. Tucker,
Controller, Sanford G. Church; Treasurer,
Isaac j. Vanderpool; Attorney General,
Lyman. Tremaine; State engineer and Sur
veyor, V. r. Richmond; State Prison In
spector, w G. Rhodes. These nominal
tions were all made ananimously, and the
principal officers are taken equally from
both branches of the Democracy of New
York, formerly known as the '.Hards" and
"Softs."- Tremaine and Tucker are the
"hardest of the Hards," while Church and
Vanderpool are leading "Softs." The
ticket is strong and popular one
Church was formerly Lieutenant Governor,
member of the Legislsture, and is an able
and popularsman. Tremaine is an ex-
cellens lawyer, and Tucker is the late able
editor of the New York Ne,os. All
branches of the party being represented on
this ticket, we shall look for its triumphant
election over that of the freedoms shrek
ers.

A Negro on the Stump for the. Black
Republicans Of Ohio.
The Democratic paper in Hardin Coun-
ty, in this State, says that c. S. Debbs, a
strapping negro, made Black Republican
speech at the Courthouse there on We'd
nesday evening last. Debbs thus express
ed his views:
He assured his Republican friends that
petitions would be circulated and sent to
the Legislature next winter for the pur-
pose of getting the word "white" struck
from the Constitution, as the negroes
wanted the privilege of voting for Con-
gressmen and Presidents, in order to get
the, slaves at the South liberated If the
Legislature should be Democratic he
thought there would be no hope; but if it
was Republican, the chance would amount
almost to certainty. He said "the peo-
pie of the North could vote them free, or
if they felt SO disposed, as they were rich
enough, they might buy them and set
them free; but they had no intention of
leaving US. If they were sent to Africa,
they should come back, and if not taken
into full fellowship with the white race,
something desperate might be expected.
Debbs will stump the State, we suppose,
for Chase Il Co.

For the Esprit" !"
TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

Mr.. EDITOR This nursery of popular
education will again assembe-of which
please to notice the Secretary's official
announcement.
We have few suggestions to make to
its members-being the result of expert
ence. We recommend the following course
of study and rectations during its session:
That all the members be punctual, accord
ing to the Secretary's arrangement, as a
failure to do so prevents the Institute
from effective organization for several days,
and consequently defeats its primary OBJ
ject, the good of the whole-that they
furnish themselves with the text books
used in the Institute Menta! and
Third Arithmetics, Elementary Algebra,
Pinneo's Analytical Grammar, McGuffey's
Fifth Reader, and Parker's Philosophy.
For the information of strangers, we
will say the Institute furnishes complete
set of Pelton's outline MAPS with an air
pump, and other philosophical instru-
ments. 1t is further recommended that
the members be examined separately-aaot
in concert. This will secure much more
study, interest and thoroughness among
the members. They would return to their
several fields of labor with renewed vigor,
and determination to impress efficiency
in every branch of study. Let those who
have been appointed to lecture and teach
not fail in these departments-as failure
to do SO has frequently annoyed the ex-
ercises Of the Institute. In word, let
all the appointments be faithfully perform
ed. Let young teachers, and those who
have not. been in attendance heretofore,
attend, as their presence will add materi-
ally to the interests of the Institute, as
well as to their future success in teaching

The Result ia Vermont-A Good Indi-
cation for Ohio.

The Result in Vermont-A Good Indi-
cation for Ohio.
Last November, in Vermont, the Black
Republicans gave Fremont, for President,
S9,56l votes. This year for Governor,
the State being all in, they have polled
but 25,6l5 votes. The Democracy, on
the contrary, gave Buchanan but 10,569
votes, whereas Keys, their candidate For
Governor, now receives 1904, an in
crease of ! ,4l2-making net Democratic
gain in one year of near $4,000 votes in
the strongest Black Repubublican State
in the union. There is great deal of
Significance in these figures. The Dem
ocracy, although they had no hope of sue
cess; and without the excitement of Pres
identlal election to draw them out, in
creased their vote handsomely, while the
Black Republican vote fell. off more than
one-third. This looks ominous for the
Black Republicans in Ohio at the next
election. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the same causes which have
been operating in Vermont on the vote
will be felt in Ohio.
The reaction is equally great here, if
not stronger than it is in that fanatical-
ridden State. The same relative vote in
Ohio will give the Democracy about fifty
thousand majority. If our political friends
in Vermont, without the least chance of
success, either LEGAL or State, can bring
out this year larger vote than they gave
Buchanan last year, why cannot the Dem
ocracy of Ohio, State where there is
much less fanaticism and where we have
high hopes of success, do equally well.
To suppose that they can, which is the
only reasonable supposition, will bring to
the ballot-box one hundred and seventy
FIVE thousand votes-an army abundantly
large to give US the State by great ma
jority. We have no doubt that, as in
Vermont. the Black Republican vote will
fall off enormously. so that we have only
to bring out the Buchanan strength to be
successful. CSa Enquirer.

The Manner in which our State Affairs
Have been Conducted.

A Washington correspondent of the
Chillcothe Advertiser thus concisely sums
up the financial exploits of the Chase re-
gency at Columbus.
"In looking over the stock market of
New York, few days since, / observe
that Ohio stocks were quoted BELOW
PAR-at 99al This is the first time
that such thing has happened since the
Democrats elected Reuben Wood Gov
ernor of your State; and upon the acces-
sion of Chase & Co., they were selling at
from 109 to lis. Great must be the
financial ability an6 management of set
of men that can cause SO large decline
in so short time-only little over
eighteen months.
During Governor Medill's administra-
tion Ohio credit stood as fair as the fair
est in the Eastern markets, and her stocks
were always disposable at rates above par;
but scarcely have the opposition secured
the reins Of power before her treasury is
made bankrupt, her bonds sold By her oaon
SERVANTS, at much less than the current
price, and her credit in the Eastern mar
ket declines belov par
"Look at them: Chase bids deflnce to
the United States laws; Ford secures
$4,000 to spend for electioneering pur-
poses in Pennsylvania; which is never
heard Of afterward; Gibson, after eigh-
teen months service finds out that the
Treasury is minus orer half million 81
dollars! Wright, Baker and Kimball, as
Fund Commissioners, loan the latter oyel
