Portage and Summit, have nominated
this same William .Stedman as their
candidate for Senator in the Legisla-

A Joint Discussion.
A Radical in a Tight place.


We find the following brief account
of joint discussion of the financial
question, lately held between two
stumpers in the town of Marion,
Iowa, in the Leon Pioneer. The az
gument of one side only is given, but
it is clincher, and after that we i'm
agine the other fellow hadn't a word
to say:
Mr.. Bennett arose to reply, and was
greeted with long, prolonged and-ter-
rife cheering. After the applause had
subsidized, MI. Bennett proceeded to
analyze and ventilate the arguments,
positions and assertions. of Judge
Smyth in manner altogether indes-
cribable. He pricked his opponents
bubles of sophistry with the keen blade
of reason and the sharp point of sar-
casm. The spiritedness of the reply,
the keenness of Benefits retorts, and
the boldness and squareness with
which he met and annihilated every
position of his opponent, operated like
magic upon the audience which arose
and applauded nearly every word of
the speaker to the echo. So complete
and overwhelming was the rejoinder,
that men shouted, ladies waved their
handkercheifs, and Republicans forgot
their party obligations and cheered
with the Democrats.
Holding greenback in his hand,
Mr.. Bennett asked Judge Smyth;
Win that pay all loans made to
the United States, both public and pri-
vate as it says it will?' t.s'- ~.
Smyth-"Yes." Ia" 5
Bennett-"Are the fivc-twenty bond
a loan ~
Smyth-"Ye
Bennett-"Will this bill pay that
loan?" '@..e .t-" 10.
. Smyth-"Y
Benuett-''Then why i'll Gods name
don't you advocate it ?'
The answers and responses elected
the widest enthusiasm, disproving, as
they do, in a few words, the fallacy
and wickedness of the Radical propo-
sition to pay the bonds i'll gold, when
greenbacks will lawfully pay them.
In conclusion MIR. Bennett reques-
ted all those in favor of Judge Smyth
and the Republican plan of paying the
hondolder in gold, and the farmer,
mechanic, soldier, and soldiers widow,
in greenbacks, to rise.
Notd single person arose! d..
He then requested all who were in
favor of paying the bondholder in
greenbacks, the same money that the
farmer, mechanic, soldier and soldiers
widow are compelled to take, to rise.
Nearly the aohoZe audience arose,
amid tremendous chee,9Rg!
: He requested all who were in favor
of exempting bondholders from taxa
ton on their bonds, and taxing the
farmer, mechanic, soldier and soldiers
widow, to rise.
No one arose, not ecen Col. Smith!
lie then requested all who were in
favor of taxing the bondholder, the
same as the farmer, mechanic, soldier
and soldiers widow are taxed, to rise. |
Itecas a unanimous cOte! The men
cheered and The ladies a0diced their
handkerchiet$.
We never before saw such an over
joyed audience.

Fellow Democrats, it is extremely
essential that you all turn out and
meet with us on that day. We do not
know of Mass Convention held in
the State this Campaign, where so
much talent was present as will be ON
this occasion. youngstown and vi
cinity has for long time been under
control of the Radicals, and we can
and must wrest the power from them
at our next election. We, find here
hundreds of men who have heretofore
voted with the Radicals, that are now
on the fence, whom we hope to win
over to us on the day of our Demo-
cratic Rally. Andiwe want to show
them by the overwhelming crowd
present on that day, that the Demo-
cratic party means business. Urge
every Democrat to put his armor on
and induce his Republican friend to
accompany him to Youngstown, and
let us have . grand old Democratic
gatherin ss.. -...ag e,,..
Special trains will run ON the Sd to

Leave Sharon via E. & P. r. r. to

and return at 6 P. M. .,s.
The morning train from Ravenna

more as will be necessary, and will re-
turn at 6 P. NJ. The morning train
from Hainwood and New Castle will

Lite of General Grant

The enterprising publishers,
Messrs. r. w. Carroll & Co., of
Cincinnati, have just ISSUED
an authentic life OF Gen. Grant,
from the pen OF L. d. Mans
field, one of the ablest writer's
in the country.
1t will scarcely be necessary
to enlarge on the qualifications
of Mr.. Mansfield for the task of
depicting. the career of the
Great Captain. His thorough
military education peculiarly
fits him for discussing the bril-
liant campaigns of Grant,
while his habit of authorship,
his long connection with the
newspaper press, and his
graphic and strong style insure
an interesting work.
For the purpose of reaching
every household in the land,
