much pleased at this, as they exceed
ingly regretted that We should have
any controversy. Judge Of my aston
ishment when, on Friday morning last,
Miss Mathews asked me to look at the
Herald, q do not exchange with it,
The first thing I saw was ''DAvIs
MAoKLEY," in grest display type, and
then your article. Then there was the
article of the gambler Aleshire and it
appeared as if he and you had been In
consultation, and were acting in con-
cert. Two or three others attacked me
in the same paper ! hope you are sat
isfed now, that you have got into mor-
al compsny.
l cOeld not believe that your profess
sions of friendship and argent request
that we drop all past differences, were
ia bad faith, and through deceit. l
thought the editer of the Herald must
have betrayed you. So I asked Mr..
DUNCAN If you had told him not to
publish your article, He said you had
not That he saw you and me talking
together in a friendly manner, and
he supposed that it was all right be-
tween US, and he told the printer not to
set the article up; but after yoa had gone
home without saying anything about it,
he supposed yoa wanted it published.
You told nae that day, that if we
kept up a controversy, you had your
friends, aud they would stand by you.
Very we'll. If you have friend who
justifes you ia ycur bad faith toward
me, in violating your voluntary prom
Use, | do not want his friendship. You
appear to be extremely anxious to have
a newspaper squabble. You cannot
get it out of me. 1 have never done
you any wrong, and it you think by
such attacks as you made upon me in a
nasty copperhead paper, you can further
the cause Of religion and morality, and
win souls to Christ, you, as a minister
must be the judge.
Yours, ID. MAcALEY.

Appreciated.

We have been attacked all around
during the present summer, and have
been pretty extensively advertised. We
feel awful bad about it. But then we
are appreciated in one quarter, The
Columbus Journal of Tuesday OF last
week advertised us TO the tune OF half
half column or such matter II tho
Journal has no larger circulation in 9TH
er counties than it has in this, it will
not do us much good. We do not
know Of another copy of the Journal
coming to Jackson county, except our
CODY. But no matter. We are salts
fed that it has not attacked us with its
wit, sarcasm Or withering invective. 1t
has large graveyard, pretty well
filed 1t has placed there, Senator
Harlan. And Baber. And Gen. Cow
an. And JOS. w. Dwyer. And pig
iron. And the Lord only knows who
else. How happy we are, and how
thankful we ought to be, that this terri
BILE paper is on our side. For this, and
oil other blessings, make us truly
thankful.
The Journal came to our rescue or
Tuesday, as above stated, and it rested
on Wednesday, but on Thursday it ha(
this:
"We have no news from the Elev'

No. Nor We have none either. W.
were even so benighted down in this
pig-iron region as not to know tha
such convention was being held. W.
attended the convention which wa
held in Portsmouth on that day. Blu
we were not aware that the Eleventh
District was holding another conven
ton up at Athens, in the Fifteenth Dis
trict. Now maybe Mr.. Bundy's friends
met up there, and nominated him, aftel

And Still Another Card,

Ma. ]. A. ALEsHIRE:
Sr-In your article in the Hcraldlast
week, your principal grievance against
me appears to be, that l did not expose
others who gambled as well as your
self. And you say:
"There were other persons who committed tho
sin II gambling with those men, and among
that number was church member"
Inever heard of any churchmember
gambling with the showmen, or any
other person except yourself Now
you must give me the name of that
church member, and / will expose him
to three thousand readers. 1t is due to
the church to know who he is, that he
may be expelled. 1t Is due to every
church h-member in the county, IS all
are implicated in the charge, even your
new colleague, the Rev. Mr.. Mann. He
was in town that day.
Was this church member as green,
and as big fool as you, and did he
lose his money! Was he, like you, de-
void of that thing known as honor
among thieves and gamblers, and did he
plead the baby act and get his money
back, like you did! Let me know all
about him, and SEQ if / do not expose
him. There are too many canting hyp-
ocrites in tho church. You and I can do
good work in this matter if you will
come up to the scratch like a man.
Again | demand the name oftlat church
member, and you must give it or stand
convicted of slandering not only candi-
dates for Office, but also members Of
the church. Give me his name. Spit
it out.
Yours, d. MAOKLEI.

Rep. Loss in one year,

Rep. Loss in one year, 1891
1t will be seen that in one year the
Democracy gained on us largely over
ono hundred per cent in the District,
in all the counties did they gain more
Or less, save aud except in glorious old
Jackson. She stands out alone-true
among the faltering and wavering.
1t may be said that this is not a true
comparison, as we take the year 1863
the Presidential year, when the vote
is always large, and the majorities great.
But we dare not 60 one year further
back because in the year 1867 the De-
mocracy carried the District by large
majority, every single county in the
District giving Democratic majority,
always excepting the always true and
loyal and reliable county of Jackson.
Two weeks ago we called attention
to the danger of losing the Distrgt
That warning was met by abuse, and
vile epithets, and insinuations against
Jackson county. Now we again eau
ton the party in all the Countiessthat
we cannot succeed by brag and bluster,
and whistling to keep our courage up,
1t comes with very bad grace indeed,
from any of the counties, and especially
so from Adams and Vinton-always
Democratic, and where the Democratic
majorities have been much more than
doubled in one year--we say it comes
with an exceedingly bad grace from
them to make any charges of bad faith,
or to throw out any insinuations against
the STANDARD, or against the Republi-
cans of Jackson county. Let them at
tend to their own business. They
have big work to do at home. Bet
ter be att.
As we cannot carry this District by
bag and bluster about our majorities,
so neither can we carry it by quarreling
among ourselves. If we succeed, it
will only be done by harmony, and an
amount of hard work never before per-
formed in tho District. The result may
hang upon half a dozen votes. We
cannot afford to repel single Republi.
can voter. Gentlemen may sit down
and brag, and suffer their counties to
treble their Democratic majorities, and
when defeated, charge thoir defeat to
Jackson county, which has never failed
to do her whole duty, under the most
discouragiDg circumstances. Go to
work, and keep your mouths shut, unless
you can say something which will aid
the cause.

No Danger.

Jim Aleshire thinks that we desire a
revocation of his certificate as q school
teacher. Not atall. Jim will not gam
bic any more. In the first place, he has
perhaps ascertained that he has not
sense enough to gamble. In the next
place, no gambler will have anything
TO do with q man who has not honor
enough to submit to his losses. lie is
beneath the contempt of all honorable
gamblers. If such o word be not a sole
Oism.

DEAR S1R-In the Herald of August
10th, l see that the Rev. D. Mann char
ges somebody with sending him spell

ing was written: "Please put in leaSurs
Qeisure) hours studying this instead Of
slandering people who attend to their
own business. The End" "HOpe
you have benefited yourself to such an
extent that you are enabled to see your
self as Others see you" He then says;
"Why didn't he give me his name!
Come out, and let US know who you
arc" He also says: "The above quo
tations are in different hand writing.
One suppose is Mr.. Rhodes'i and the
other Mr.. Mackley's." Further on he
says: GAS to the light in which others
see me, l suppose you mean yourself
Mr.. -, and one or two more county
officers" From the above | would in
fer that he charges me with writing the
sentence which was intended to be read
after he had hisurob studied the book
through. But the Reverend David
Mann, Pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, of the Berlin Circuit, in
Jackson County, Ohio, did not even
suppose, when he made the above cha rge,
that wrote single word in the sp ell.

charge the Reverend D. M. &c. with

at my office. Maliciously, by charging
me with what he says is contemplate.

Ross County Fair.

We acknowledge the receipt of a
card OF invitation from p. G, Griffin,
Secretary of the Ross County Agricul-
tural Society, to attend their county
Fair. 1t will be held in Chillicothe,
Sept 7, 0, 0, and 10, 1870. 1t would
much improve the Fairs in the several
counties, if the farmers would attend
the Fairs in the surrounding counties,
Mutual improvement would be the re-
suit. We hope as many of our farmers
as can do so, will attend the Ross Coun-
ty Fair, as II will be quite convenient
of access, We do not know, but we
suppose half fare arrangements will be
made with the railroads.

The DiKerence.

Barney O'Conner is an Irishman, and
Republican. He was a candidate for
Marshal ofthe Village of Jackson ON
Monday last, and the Republicans and a
few Democrats elected him, by SO Ma
jOrity.
Atthe Corporation election last spring
John Gorham was a candidate for Street
Commissioner, He is also an Irishman,
but Democrat. He was badly defeat
cd And this must have been done by
tho Democrats, because that party, at
that time, had a majority, electing their
candidate for Mayor. No Irishman
need apply for Office in that party. An
Irishman is good enough to vote the
Democratic ticket but when 1t comes
to an Irishman applying for Office 10
that party, the word is, "no d-d Irish
man need apply"

Random Thoughts.
BIZ THE EDITOR.

Everything now is as subject to
change as the fashions Of bOnhets, which
change at least four times year. Even
the music is in a state of constant
change. Let a young lady learn piece
well, and by that time, if you ask her
to play or sing it, she will laugh at you,
aud say; "dear me. That is such an
old piece" Sacred music changes al
most as fast. Even good Old Hundred
has been changed in modern books, and
the semibreVe is left off at the end of
the lines, and minim Supplied, and
the singers march right through it like
a lot ofmilitia men on a retreat.
Speaking of old tunes reminded me
of some verses which I published in the
Standard August II, 1854. Here they

Think Before you Spend.


Do YOU really need the article9 1t is
probably pretty dress or some piece OF
furniture, but what solid benefit will it be
to youg Or it is some luxury for the
table that you can do as well without.
Think, therefore, before you spend your
money. Or need anew carpet, new couch
new chairs or new dress; you are tempted
to buy something little handsomer than
you had at first intended; and, while you
hesitate, the dealer says to you: cts
only a trihe more, and see how far prettier
it isl" But before you purchase, stop to
think. Will you be better year hence,
especially in old age, for having squan-
dered your money? Is it not wiser to lay
by something for a rainy day. All these
luxuries will only crafty you for mo.
ment You soon tire of them, and their
own permanent effect is to consume your
means, 1t is by such little extravagances
not much separately, but ruinous in the
aggregate-that the great majority of
families are kept comparatively poor. The
first lesson to learn is to deny yourself
useless expenses, and the first step toward
learning this lesson is to think before you
spend.-Erchange.
