The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-08-20

A little episode occurred in the
Convention Saturday, that was rather
funny. When the motion to adjourn
for dinner, was pending. Mr.. D. d.
Ogden, who was standing near the
chairman, said he had a matter Of
deep import to bring before the Con
ventiOn, before it adjOurned-he want
ed to know why delegates of the Dem
ocratic Convention, of the week be-
fore, we're secreted in the 1Judges s
stand. And he reached in and drew
out pint bottle having in it but
about one-teEth of Democratic swal-
low of whisky, to-Wit: two table
speOnsful. A general laugh was the
result of this discovery, and a little
search unearthed two or three more
bottles.
Some Democrats claim that it
could not have been a Democratic
bottle, because none was ever seen
left with drop in it. That little
matter is explained easily. The one
who drank last made hog of him-
self, and the one who was to follow
him was mad and would not put his
lips to such small amount Of restor-
alive.

We heard one of our wheat dealers
say that if We had the new railroad in
operation, the wheat sold here Sat
urday, would have brought from $500
to $500 more than it did-a sum Of
money which would have gone into
the pockets of farmers. If the small
amount of wheat bought here Sat
urday-smali as compared with the
crop sold-Was sold at such a loss to
farmers, what greater sum would
have been realized by them on the
whole crop? From the foregoing
our farming community can see Just
how much interest they have in the
Toledo, Tifin & Crestline railroad.
Let cur farmers think of this and
see how much they lose by not hav-
ing another outlet, and how much
they are willing to give towards the
railroad.

National Debt-Is it Being
Rednnad."

The AdUertiser, Of last week, makes
labored effort to prove that the ma
tional debt is not being reduced, and
shows by its figures that it wishes it
may not be in order that the Demo
cratic party may cary out its repu-
diation schemes. The article is
long one and ends with question
like the following:
ia debt of S2,508, ,915, 1872 is re
duced S2O6,659 in thirteen months
how long will it take to pay the whole
amount.
A few official figures will set this
matter right and show that the debt
is being reduced, Notwithstanding as
sertiOns, made for political effect, to
the contrary: s
Taking the debt for the five years
past, commencing with July /, 1865
VIC uuQ IL lnuS-
July l, 1865 s2757, ,25s, ,2G5
August /, 1866 2,633, ,O9g, ZIG
August l, 1867 2,5lI, ,3O6, ,42O
August /, 1865 2523, ,5S4, $50
August /, 1863 24sI, SCI, ,T36
Comparing the debt of August 1,
1869 with that of July l.. 1865, we
find that it has been reduced S275,
6SG,529. OF this. sum, $40, 1896, ,523
have been paid since the inauguration
of Gen. Grant. That the debt did
not decrease at greater rate pre-
ViOus to the beginning of Crafts
Administration, was simply owing to
the fact that too many johnson Dem
ocrats and Johnsonized Republicans
now in close communion with the
Democratic party-were in office.
They failed to collect the revenue
properly, and stole a considerable
pes cent of what they did gather. 4
With Grants Administration was
inaugurated different state of things
and thieves were driven out Of Office.
The debt is being reduced, and the
Democracy will have to hurry up
their reputation business or they
will soon find nothing left with which
dishonor the Government. i
