No one can ignore the fact that there
has been, during the year, a percepti-
BILE growth of the: temperance senti-
ment in this County. Not a sentiment
in of favor any direct organization Of
that kind; but, a determination from
principle as well as policy not to sup
port men whose habits not only degrade
the victim and furnish a bad example
to Others, but who are thereby rendered
unableand unfit to perform the work
entrusted them. Hundreds of Demo-
crats who have heretofore kept silent
upon this subject have expressed their
determination not toivote for men who
are hsbitnaI drinkers. The fofcihle ex-
amples of our. Judge of Common Pleas
and other officers have been too much
for sensible and well meaning citizens
of any party. We cannot afford the
extra expense ard Inconvenience OF
supporting these bibdious officials and

1t gives US pleasure to announce the
name of Hon. Isaac Welsh of this
County as the successful candidate for
State Treasurer at the Convention on
Wednesday. The first vote developed
his strength, SO much SO that the 9TH

to our County ticket and aid us in Sc
curing that reform in our county affairs
so much desired. His name was
brought forward by Col. .C.L. Poorman.
We learn that some McCook-war-
democrats is circulating an Enquirer
petition among our citizens, signed
by 29S of General Noyes comrades in
arms to the effect that he was a coward
while in the army and undeserving
of the rank he holds. Those who have
seen it will understand its gaflle when
they know that no responsible persons

The Democratic platform accepts the
| Constitutional Amendments giving
/ freedom and suffrage to the Negro,
and avers that these questions are set
tied. The Democratic party nomin-
ates as its candidate man who does
not accept the situation nor recognize
these questions as settled, but who is
j opposed to the Amendments and will
i do all he can to prevent their enforce
ment. If Democrats have any sense
of honor they must repudiate either
! their platform or their candidate fol-
Representative. If they are honest in
laverring that they recognize the ques-
tion of Negro freedom and suffrage as
lsettled and no longer in politics, they
cannot consistently or honestly support
a man for a legislative position who
lstilI opposes such freedom and suffrage
and will not recognize the Constitu.
tional amendments by which they are
lsecured as of any binding force. If they
Iendorse the views of their candidate fol
Representative -and they will endorse
them if they vote for him-they con-
Ivict themselves of dishonesty by pre-
tending to recognize these questions
!, as settled by the amendments.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette. y .gil aliE -ig
Z The Republican State Convention, of
Ohio, which met in Columbus on
Wednesday, adopted a platform which
cannot be misunderstood. 1t endors-
es the Administration of General
Grant in the strongest terms, and also
the State Government of Governor
Hayes. 1t is entirely free from all
'sclap-trap, {" which General McC Cook de-
clares is a constant quantity in the
platform upon which either he or Ew-
ing, for it is an unsettled question
which was nominated for Governor by
the Democracy of Ohio. 80 ~
n The nomination, by the Republicans
of the Buckeye State on Wednesday,
nor of Ohio will meet with universal
approval. 1t has been conceded for
some time before the Convention met,
that he would be the only candi date
as those old war horses, Wade and Gal
Iloway, were unwilling to enter the lists
against him, and indeed to accept the
nomination at al. General E. F.
.Noyes is a native of the State of New
Hampshire. Ee is only in. the thirty.
fifth year of his age, but has done good
service in the cause of his service in
the cause of his country. In the yeal
1853 he removed from New Hampshire
to Cincinnati, where he practiced law
till the war broke out in 1861. In the
summer of that year he organized 8
regiment and went into the military
service of his country. It is said that
he took part in every battle in which
his command was engaged from July
1851 till the 9Th Of July, 1854, when he
lost leg during an action on the field
The following year he resigned his com.
mission, and since that time has held
the offices of City Solicitor of. Cincinnati
and Probate Judge of Hamilton Coun
ty. He is Probate Judge of Hamilton
County now and very popular in Ohio
las his nomination by acclanatior
labundantly testifies. The Democrat
will ne doubt denounce him as a scar.

will bag either McCook or Ewing, whC

ticket. He has the reputation of being
an accomplished orator and q, forciblJ
Ispeaker, and viii no doubt walk tri

their choice, and the unaniInity anC
harmony that characterized their con.

brighter prospect for clean, sweep, a
the Democratic journals are unwillingly

no, apathy or indifference anywhere
Every Republican owes himself, and
the country to buckle on his arrnor and
