Great Democratic MASS ConVen-
ti0n,

IS members of the old Guard met
in solemn conclaye last Saturday after
noon, at the Court House, to go through
with the empty formality of nominating
a county ticket. There was no scram-
BILE for nominations, not even whim
per from the Office seeking Daniel,
aforetime Treasurer of Gallia. Why
were the numbers so small and the de-
sire for Office so little? Answer:-the
Offices were few, the pay slim' and the
"there's the rub"-StImnser.
Accordingly, candidates were selected
who don't want Office; for instance,
JoHN EAK1N, of Cheshire, for Commis-
sioner, who wouldn't serve, if, by mir
acIe. elected. EAKIN is modest man,
has no democratic symptoms,--don't
chew, or drink, and goes to meeting on
Sunday. The other candidate for
Commissioner, the short term, is W.
F. HANNAH, of Ohio township, who has
been candidate for the same Office so
many years that the memory OF man
runneth not to the contrary. The
nomination of our old friend, LEWIS
MUENz, for Infrmary Director, is
crumb to catch German votes, but it
wont win. The seyerest mental trial
was undergone in choosing Central
Committee. In the difficult task of get
ting one member from each township.
and still have working majority in
Gallipolis, the whole convention of 13
labored, yea, they Travelled, and grew
sore, and Alexander the 1st (whose
surname is VANCE,, related his "ex-
perience," while the brethren were fig
uring on the Committee problem. He
said that he had been Wing, then a
Know Nothing until that party sold
out to the niggers, and now he was
proud to belong to the old democratic
party, which always had been death
to the niger. No cheers gave ap-
plause-members too busy ciphering.
Next DANIEL arose and made some
very humble confessions, acknowled ged
his sins in straying off after strange
gods into the Republican camp, though
he did capture one little god in Treas
urer's Office, but couldn't hold it, and
came back sadder though wiser man.
No cheers greeted Daniel. Some of
the old hunkers then tried it, and our
friend VAN GLIDER INDUCED in dreary
details, wandering back to Wing days,
when he belonged to that old party,
and, in trying to tell how he became
democrat, his voice failed him, and
thin fog settled down over the 13 But
the sum was not solved After taking
the yeas on the question, a general
skirmish took place and several speech
es were injected. then the nays were
called, and it was found that major
ity voted yea, and another majority
voted nay. Here began double trouble,
and we left in despair.

THE STYLE OF PRESIDENT GRANT.
The New York Herald, speaking
of the President, as he lately ap-
peared when travelling on the
steamers of the Hudson River and
Long Island Sound says:
''He kept himself out of sight a
good deal of the time, but when he
showed himself he was speedily en-
vironed by an Unsuitable curious
throng. He bore it, however, with
his accustomed good nature, and if
any stranger spoke to him, instead
of taking it as an affiront or pre-
suming, politely spoke in return
His manner, in fact, is the same to
all. He looks evidently upon every.
body as one of the people and him
self as their chosen servitor. He
puts on no airs, which is the short
way of putting it, but through this
very democratic element in his ma
ture, through this seIf-unconscious.
ness, wins the hearts of the people
wherever he goes-that greatest
and proudest victory a President
can possibly achieve"

% The first State election, for
this fall, occurred last Tuesday week.
Vermont voted then, and leads the
Republican column. The entire Re-
publican State and Congressional
ticket was elected BY the usual ma
jority. The Legislature is over
whelmingly Republican-the Senate
nearly, if not altogether, un animous-
ly Republican, while the House has
just enough Democratic members to
show that there is still such an organ
ization in the State
This is the beginning Of that fall
swell, which yearly rolls from east to
west, burying in its onward march
that party which proved faithless to
its duty, and to its professions, in
the hour of our country's dire neces-
sity.

@ The Democratic Congress.
sional Convention, representing the
counties of Jefferson, Stark, Carroll
and Columbiana, met, quarrelled,
and adjourned, making no nomina
ton, which is bad for the harmo-
nious. The editor of the party Or
gan at Steubeuville, one of the de
feated candidates for Congressional
honors, shows very bad spirit, and
empties his head as follows:
"To Mr.. R. G. Woods, of the
New Lisbon Patriot, aud Mr.. A. Nc
gregor, of the Stsrk County Demo
crat, we wish to say kindly: That
on account of the base treachery,
perfdity and meanness they have
shown toward us in this Congress

further intercourse with either of
them-socially, personally or politi-
cally-and they will therefore please
erase the name of the Steubenvilie

The Land Grant Business,

Democratic charges against the
Republican party always come home
to roost. Land grants to railroads
is just now made much offs han
died by that party as though its
hands were wholly clean, and that the
system was purely Republican. But
a little examination of the past re-
veals different version ofits origin.
Senator Sherman sets this matter
right in his speech at Delaware, last
week. lie said:
at had its origin with Mr. Doug
las in the grant to the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad. 1t was in full force
long before the Republican party ex-
listed. The most numerous grants
ever made was by The Thirty fifth
Congress, which was democratic in
all its branches. The largest grant
ever made was made to the Union
Pacific and Northern Pacific rail
roads, in 1862 and 1864, and was
voted for, 1 think, by every demo
cratic member of Congress. 1t was
policy universally approved and
adopted by the West, without dis
tinction to party"
Democratic members from all
parts of the West, and one or two
from Ohio, voted for these swindles,
as the press of that party styles
them, in Congress last winter. but the
Republican member from this Dis.
trict, Hon. John T. Wilson, voted
NO all the time. Under such cir
cumstances, it is certainly the part
OF wisdom, on the part of those who
are opposed to such grants, to vote
for the man who is known to be
right on the question, instead of for
one who has record yet to make,
and hence may be right, or may be
wrong. Hold fast to that which is
good.

~ The New York Herald re-
marks upon the steady reduction of
the Debt, every month, since the in
auguration of President Grant
:sDoes the Administration need any
more convincing campaign docu-
ments than such monthly bulletins?
They indicate honesty; for paying
debts according to the accepted
maxim . the most trying test of
honesty. They indicate economy
and retrenchment; for without these
with the heavy load of expenditures
that the government is compelled to
make every day, strict economy and
searching retrenchment would alone
admit of the payment of dollar of
the debt. They indicate the en-
forcement of the laws; for the reve-
nue. laws are the most difficult to en-
force, and on the collection of the
revenue depends our only chance of
paying our current expenses or our
debts. There, then, we have homes
ty, economy and the enforcement of
the laws for the platform of General
Grants Administration laid down in
letters of living light"

THE PRooF-About a year ago,
Mr. Ralph Leete made speech in
this city, in which after spinning
out lot of sophistry, said:
"It is therefore clear, if all citi-
zens owe equal duties to the State,
there can be no lenders to the State,
except in foreign countries"
The meaning of this is, that the
Government borrowed, and has,
therefore, nothing to pay. By these
words, Mr.. Leete proclaims himself
Repudiationist. We want every
honest man to note this fact.--Iron-
ton Re gister.

g- The dispatches from the seat
of war in Europe are still of very
conflicting nature, and it is extreme
ly difficult to arrive at any definite
conclusion. At the request of Aus
tria and Italy, the Prussian advance
on Paris has been temporarily sus-
pended, and it is reported that Eng
land has asked an armistic of fifteen
days. King William says he will
treat for peace at the Tuileries, and
with emissaries of the Empire only.
He still recognizes Napoleon as EN-
peror of France. Paris is tranquil,
and preparations for its defense are
actively going forward. Bazaine re-
fused to surrender at the time the
Emperor and McMahon did, and
threatened to shoot any of his officers
who talked OF capitulation. Consid-
erable of skirmish occurred near
Chateau Thierry, in with the Prus-
slams were repulsed with cons idera
