RICH.

On Friday night, of week before
last, the Democracy of Mount
Gilecd had meeting at that place
which was addressed by Judge
Thurman. OF course some distin-
guished and acknowledged leader of
the unterrifed must be selected for
chairman. The honor fell upon
Mr.. Amos Critchfield, who took the
chair and relieved his ponderous
brain of the following Introductory
speech:
"This is our Senator"
The Senator then began saying ::
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men," When the speaker uttered
the words ''NIr. Chairman" said
chairman jumped up abruptly, and
staring the Senator in the face, cried
out: "What will you have, sir p
A gentleman who was present in
forms US that at the conclusion of
the speech, there were 81 Democratic
and AZ Republican voters.

Clerk of Superior Court.

EDITOR PIONEER The annual
State Convention of the Union par
ty of Ohio, will be held at Colum-
bus, on the 4th of March, 1868, for
the transaction Of business, and the
nomination of candidates on the
Union Ticket for the following Of
fees Secretary of State, Judge of
the Supreme Court, Member of the
Board Of Public Works, and Clerk
of the Supreme Court. And in or
der that the selection may be made
from our best and most available
men, think it proper that candi-
dates should be brought out in diff
ferent parts, or districts of the
State, that their claims may be duly
considered before the meeting of
the convention. And the object in
writing this article is to suggest as
suitable person for Clerk of the
Supreme Court, our distinguished
townsman, Gen. Isaac Miner Kirby.
He is known all over the State,
not only as true and gallant sol
dier, but as a gentleman Of ire
proachable character, accommoda-
ting and pleasing disposition, and
of superior business capacity, these
qualification should endear him to
the people of the State of Ohio.
There is no man in this district
who commands more respect; no
county in the State can boast of q
truer, more enlightened, or more
faithful embodiment of true princi
pies, than Wyandot, in the pers on
of Gen. Kirby, and should he be
the nominee of our party, will add
strength to the ticket. Let him be
nominated

can party during the war. The
Democratic party of Ohio, was thus

cred over to the control Of those who
had forsaken or betrayed us during
the ordeal of the war A platforme
too, emasculated of every distinctive
old fashioned Democratic principle
as distinguished from mere line of
policy, and, for the first time, con
tanning a quasi Endorsement of the
late civil war as one waged Gin de
fense of the Union," Ca well known
''public falsehood,') was reported
by one Of the recusants of 1868,
and adopted.
And two days after the Conven-
ton, Colonel Barnabas Burns was
nominated for Representative in
Congress for the Eigth District. He,
too, had refused to support the nom
inee for Governor in 1853, and more
than that, had attempted to organize
"bolting" State Convention at Co
lumbus on the 4th Of Sept. Of that
year, to nominate a Democratic can
dldate in opposition to Mr.. Vallan-
digham for Governor. lie WAS the
very "man for the times"
On the 18th Of January, 1866, Mr.
Vallandigham was defeated in the
Democratic caucus for Senator, by
means alluded to above, but not
necessary further just now to ex-
pose
Immediately afterward Mr. Jewett
Colonel McCook, Mr. Rex and 9th
ers who, like Colonel Burns, had
refused to support the Democratic
nominee for Governor in 1868,
along with Senator Thurman, were
1'sposted'' to stump the District; and
they did it, the Senator elect doing
active service. Money, too, was
sent by aspirauts to high places and
their friends, to aid and comfort
one Of the ''partie5 of the second
part The result of all this was
the usual fruit Of ''policy'' at the
sacrifice of principle and the men
who sustain principle-a great Re
publican victory, and Republican
gain Of 50S over an. honest anti
''policy'' peoples campaign in Oc-
tober last.
And now question or two. How
many votes would Vallandigham' s
election to the Senate have "driven
OFF, from the Democratic party III
the Eighth District? How many
Republican votes did Thurman s
election 'sdrive on to the Demo
cratic party? What has policy done
for US again And is the Presi
Dental election to be sacrificed to
the same insane clamor and ar
1angement? Are politicians or the
Ipeople to rule hereafter in Ohio ?
Is the project Of re -districting the
State for Congressional purposes tc
be defeated, aud five or six Demo
cratic Representatives, in Congress
to be lost, lest by possibility, and
contrary to his desire and his plans
for the future, certain "odious'
person might profit by it? Ont
thing all men may depend upon
political offenses, like those in tht
moral and religious world, never
fail to bring with them their jus
penalty, sometimes sooner, some
times later. The mills of the god;
grind at intervals, both fast an(
fine. Justice may be, as the an
clients fabled her, both blind anG
halt, yet she is now and then sud
den and springing; while the wing
ed daughter of Oceanus and Mex
riding upon her stag, javelin il
hand, never leaves long unbalanced
the scale of human wrong.

In every community may be
found men who pretend to mourn
over their wayward sons, and yet
those very men may nightly be seen
in certain saloons playing cards,
while their ssfast" and uncomfortable
sons stand by looking over the
shoulders of these most amiable and
exemplary fathers, having their
vicious and ruinous habits conf1 m
ed. Do not parents too often preach
virtue to their children, while they
themselves are the victims Of daily
vice.

DEMOCRATIC papers, in speaking
Of the result of the election in the
Eighth District, inform their read
ers of the Democratic gains over
Hamilton's majority. Now we fail
to see the necessity of going back
SO far. Why not make the compar-
ison with the last election, when
Hayes majority in the District was
only 246, and the Amendment was
defeated in the same District by
majority Of l,942! Our neighbor
calls this q small favor. Would it
be so regarded if it had gone the
other way? Well, we will take the
large favors next fall. The legacy
has been made, the will is signed.
and all that is necessary is to go
through the little ceremony of a
campaign.

A PROMINENT citizen Of the 9Th
District informs us that the Demo-
Gratis tried every conceivable way to
buy votes, but failed. To one Re-
publican they offered an SIS coat if
he would vote for Burns, but they
couldn't come it. They even tried
a half sane man, by Offering him
$40, and this resnlted in the weak
minded man coming right out and
exposing the nefarious work of the
unterrifed.
The fact that we carried the day
against such strenuous efforts and
corruption, renders the victory
doubly significant and important.
All honor to the Eighth District

MAN KILLED.-The Stask County
Republican Of last weeks saYs

Republican of last weeks says:
Yesterday morning while Joseph
Hentzell, son of Mr. Jacob Hentzell
of this city was walking on the Rail
road track near Aultman's machin e
shop, the six o'clock Express train
came along and run over him, ,mang-
ling his body dreadfully and killing
him instantly. The Engineer SCUM
ded the whistle in time for young
Elentzelle to get off the track, but
as he was entirely deaf it availcd
nothing
In addition to the above we have
since learned that the deceased, iv-
ing near the Railroad, had always
been the habit of walking on the
track to and from his work, and al
though repeatedly warned of the
danger, was always on the look out
in the day time and at night timely
warning was given by the head light.
On this morning it appears there
was no headlight and although the
train came laundering along at an
unusual speed and gave the custom
ar.y signal the young man must have
been unconscious Of its approach
He was struck in the head, the brain
completely mashed and when found
completely dead.

WE invite the attention Of all the
Republicans in Wyandot County to
the call Of the Central Committee in
another column. We are to meet
on the 22d inst, the birthday Of
Washington. The day and the
cause are very appropriate. We
hope you will all come to the Con-
vention. Now is the time to COM
mence to work. Let US go at it
earnestly and not rest till the Amer
ican people shall have declared in
thunder tones that U. s. Grant, and
not Andrew johnson, is President
of the United States.

REpURLTCAN CONVENTION.

The Republicans of Wyandot
County are requested to meet in
Convention in Upper Sandusky, on
Saturday, the 22d day of February,
1868, to select delegates to attend
the Republican State Convention for
the nomination Of candidates for
State officials, to be held in Colum-
bus, on edncsday, the 4th day of
March, 1868, and for the considera-
ton of other important business
pertaining to the success of the Re
publican party of our county.
Wyandot County is entitled to
FOUR delegates.
"The campaign of1S6s, in the is
sues it involves, is one of the most,
if not the most important we have
ever been called upon to engage in.
Many of the questions growing out
of the war are unsettled. Their
proper settlement depends entirely
upon the Republican party, and our
defeat in this campaign will be the
surrender of the Government into
the hands of the party which
brought on tire war. Shall the de.
structive policy of that party again
become the policy of the nation?
eve must judge our opponents
not by their present professions
alone, but by their past actions. The
same influences in 1861 precipitated
the rebellion, and for four years
waged a reasonable war, still rules
its counsels, and will shape its pol
icy should it return to power. In
illustration of this, we have the ac-
ton Of the majority in the present
General Assembly, in resembling the
ratification of the Constitutional
Amendment and the proposed in
structions to our members of Con-
gress to vote for the repeal of the
Reconstruction acts.
1--WE must have patience in the
labor of Reconstruction. 1t is not
the work of a day. The machina-
tons ofa perfidious Executive aided
by powerful and determined party,
largely composed of defeated rebels,
have served to delay the execution of
the wishes of the loyal majority OF
the country, but can not prevent it
if we are as faithful to our trust in
the future IS we have been in the
past.
''Reverses may meet us in the ex-
ecution Of our policy now, as they
did during the war, but they mus
not cause US to falter in the course
marked out. Rather should they
nerve us to renewed energy and
more determined effort.
'The result of last falls election
has been most happily modified by
the recent glorious victory won by
the gallant Republicans ofthe Eighth
District. Let their spirit animate all
the Districts, and the campaign OF
1868 will be as cheering in it's re-
suits as those of 1868 and 1864"
Let there be full convention of
Republicans, then, on the 22d, in
Upper sandusky, to add momentum
to the wheel that shall crush what is
yet left of "a murderous and wicked
rebellion, and, finally, give complete
victory to the Stars and Stripes, and
peace to the country.
Those attending from the several
townships will come prepared with
the name of some earnest Republi-
can from their township for mem
Der of the Central County Commit
tee, as said committee will be reor-
ganized on that day.

Gen Beatty.

A correspondent ofthe Columbus
Journal writing from Delaware says :
Gen. Beatty is o man of extraor-
dinary ability, and, according to the
testimony Of Gen. Keifer, given last
Monday night, who said he had been
his companion for seventeen months
during the war, and either in camp
or elsewhere, he never knew him to
retire at night, without offering to
God an earnest prayer, and, during
that time, he never knew him to
taste a drop Of whisky, or swear a
single oath.

MAJ. GEN. GEO. G.. MEADE.


We are in receipt of a letter from
that distinguished soldier, patriot
and statesman, Major General Geo.
G.. Meade, in which he informs us
that he "has not the slightest desire
to fill the high Office" for which we
have nominated him.
This is really q good reason why
the great hero of Gettysburg, and
only successful commander Of the
Army of the Potomac, should be
nomina ted. The Office could not
add anything to his renown. His
glorious deeds and wonderful
achievements, in the defense Of our
country, are as illustrious and i'm
perishable as our nationality. It is
impossible for this nation to
fully appreciate his services and
his greatness. It would do our
heart good to see him elevated. But
he is daily endearing himself to the
loyal masses by his brilliant and
impartial administration of the Third
Military District. Long may he
live.

Distressing Accident.

A most painful accident happened
on Saturday afternoon last, by which
Matte Richards, a girl of thirteen,
was drowned in q cistern ct the res
idence Of W. c. Phillips, on West
Market Street. Deceased left home
about half past one o'clock, for the
purpose of spending the afternoon
with a daughter Of Mr.. Phillips, and
having raped at the front door
and no one answering, she proceed
ed to side door, opening into the
.dining-room. Under the floor in
this room is a cistern, and one of
the family had just drawn "a pail Of
water, rope being used, and the
opening, Ca trap-door) not having
yet been closed. AS she raped at
the door it was opened by one Of the
children, and deceased stepped into
the room, and walked at once into
the opening of the cistern, striking
her head against it's side as she went
down.
There being no men around the
house, the alarm was at once given,
and neighboring woman eameprompt
II, but no one dared to go into the
eistern, and the girl failed to respond
to their questions. After q short
time men came to the rescue, and
went into the cistern, but when she
was brought out the spark OF life
had fed, and all efforts to resusci
tate her were unavailing.
It is probable that the injury she
sustained III falling rendered her in
sensible, and she at once sank to the
bottom; otherwise she could scarce
" have drowned, as there was but
about three and q half feet of water
in the cistern.
Deceased was an unusually bright
and attractive girl. Her remains
were followed to the grave on Mon
day, not only by q large circle Of
relatives, but by her Sunday School
class, and large number of Schol
ars from the Union School.-Ljnsa

UNNECESSARY PRINTING.

One chief source of unnecessary
expense at Washington and Colum-
bus, is the printing of huge piles of
uninteresting official documents
which are scattered all over the
country to find their speedy repose
in some rag bag, or to be used in
kindling fire cold mornings. These
documents cost immensely and are
of no practical utility, for the reason
that not one in a hundred of them is
ever read. Piles Of these documents
may be found at every Auditors
Office awaiting destruction, their in
eyitable doom.
