The Great Trial OF Reapers and Now

The following dispatch was sent out by the
associated press on the first day OF the contest:
MANSFIELD. July 5.-The largest trial of reap
ers and mowers ever held on this continent be-
gan at two O'clock to-day, the farm of II. Hall,
one and one-half miles west of this city, under
the auspices OF the Ohio Board Of Agriculture.
Never before has there been such interest mani
tested by the manufacturers of agricultural i'm
plcments as this trial has developed. There are
one hundred and one entries, every lead ding reap
er and mower establishment in the country be-
ing represented.
Among the machines from Northern Ohio are
the Burdick machine, the Kirby mower, and the
Hubbard from Cleveland, and quite a number
from Akron, Canton and MassillOn. One Of the
finest displays on the ground is made by the
Champion Of Springfield, one of which, the
wrought iron mower, opened the contest. IT
the conclusion Of the mower trial comes the
reaper contest, followed by a trial of combined
machines.
The contest lasted until 10 o'clock on the OH
inst. During the whole trial, IT is reported, the
greatest anxiety existed by exhibitors. On the
afternoon of the 9th, horse hay-rakes hay-tend-
ers, cooking machines aud other farm impe-
ments were exhibited and tested; merely to graf
ify the manufacturers.
A committee consisting Of President Ross
Secretary KLIPPART and Mr.. RICHMOND, mem
ber of the State Board from Erie county, were
selected to test the draft of the various machines
with the dynamometer.
The award Of the prizes will not be made IN.
til the second day OF the State Fair, in Sebtem.
Der next, at which time an adthoraiive report
of the trial in detail will be published.

mol taxpayers of Morgan, instead
of being reduced, they have been in
creased! The State taxes for 1870
are Uty cents more, on a thousand
dollars, than they were for 1861
Should this meet the eye ofthe Gov
ernor, he may attempt to explain it
in lis Chesterfield speech. If he
does, we'll bet the only hat we've
got that he'll attempt to prove that
the Democracy are 10 blame for it.
He'll attempt to make the Democ-
racy responsible for it by the same
line of argument, probably, that
GARFIELD used here last week to
prove that the Democracy are re-
sponslble for the pernicious legIsla-
tion of Congress, during the past
ten years, when 1t is VOL known
that in that time the Democrats
have not been sufficiently strong In
Congress to operate as a check on
pernlcious Legislation, much less TO
~Ieglslate. Should the Governor at
tempt to place the burden of this
increase on the shoulders of the De-
mocracy, it would be well for him
to explain why the Republicans,
who we're elected to place and posi-
ton, and who held the reins of Gov
eminent, allowed the Democrats 10
thus burden the people with the in
creased taxation. Or, should he
contend that the increase was one
of the results of the legislation of
the last Democratic Legislature, we
ask him to explain why, IN the face
ofsaid Democratic legislation, which
he, as Governor of Ohio, was we'll
acquainted with, he promised a re-
ductiOn IN the State taxes in Ease the
Republican ticket was elected.
But, 1t will be remembered that
the Governor had something to say
about whisky. lie then esteemed
whisky q good thing; IN fact, be
thought one corner IF our Govern
mental edifce was sustained by a
pillar constructed of barrels of WINS
ky, and if this pillar was torn down,
the whole fabric would be apt to
tremble and finally fall, crushing
out every vestlge of liberty. We
wonder, now, if the Governor will,
III his Chesterfield speech, reiterate
his views on the whisky question ;
if he Will tell the people that 1T is
one of the best means of making the
Johnny Rebs, of the South, and the
fools and tops, of the North, pay
their proportion toward sustaining
the Federal Government. But,
possibly, the Governor will not say
a word about any of these things;
and, possibly, he will Ignore the
question OF Prohibition, and all such
live questions, and confne his
speech entirely TO a denunciation of
"Copperheads,' Rebels" knights
of the Golden Circle" &c.

The Political Whine of the
Herald.

Prominent in recent issues of the
Herald, editorial articles may be
found, which are intended to strike
at the cause of Prohibition, and
which essay to ridicule those men
Of both the old political parties,
who have determined to support a
third party, which Is pledged 10
carrying INTO execution their princ
ciples. The main argument used
by II co.emporary in these anti
Giles, is that the Republican party
will be kicked out of power. Such
miserable whining Is well answer
ed by the PeninSular Herald, an
Eastern paper, in the following ar
tlcle:

No one, we will venture to say.
The chief difficulty with these par

imposed upon the people by outliv-

and, like the greedy OK, have left
the rich pastures reluctantly. Par

sLruments of public utility, through
which the citizens may execute
their will in the choice of officers
and IN the accomplishment OF Lse-
full public measures. But it turns

Governor HayeS-He makes a
Speech at Chesterfield ON Fri
day. the 3Oth.

We see it announced by posters,
that Gov. RUTHERFORD B. HAYES is
to make a speech, on Friday next,
the Both instant, at Chesterfield, this
county, in the interest OF the Repub-
lican party.
This time last year, the Governor
was rerambulating the State with a
speech devoted chiefly to State aft
airs, and McConueIsviIle was one of
his places of delivery. Many of our
e;Iizens will remember that speech,
and that 1t charged the Democratic
party with profigacy and extrava~
ganee in the preceding Legislature,
and by implication told the people
if they would elect him and the tick
ct which his name headed, State
taxes would be redReed. Well, the
people elected him and those on the
ticket with him; and, now, how
stands the State taxes for 1870?
Have they been reduced? Has the
Governors pledge been redeemed !?
