THE NECK TIE FESTIVAL to-mor-
row evening will be a jolly one at thr
Town Hall.
The Neck.tie Festival is the town
talk and everybody, it seems, is going
TO attend. Arrangements have been
so perfected that the indications are,
that it will be a grand success. Let
every lady in town wear her apron and
take her neck-tie, and let everyone 60
with a willingness to acquiesce in the
lot assigned to them by Dame For
tune. OF course she is sometimes
fckle-at no time a respector of per-
sons, and she may OF this occasion
cut queer capers. AS the main object
of the entertainment however, is fun,
it is hoped the eccentric Dame will
perform her part well. So let every
person urn out and enjoy themselves
for one evening and by Sd doing aid a
laudable enterprise.
Admission, % cts. Oysters per
dish, 80 cts.

StimSOn Is AT Work.

The Republicans of Morgan, who
are DESTROYS that a Morgan County
man shall receive the nomination
of the Republican Senatorial Con-
vent;oD of this District, must be on
the alert, for Stimson, of Marietta,
does not seem disposed to give up
the position. The Mariettidn, of
last week, says:
"That old .rIck of politicians and
o~ffice-seekers, the manufacturing OF
public opinion by means of newspa-
per correspondents snd interview
ers, is, we perceive, being brought
into play by the distinguished u
Senator from tins district. Begin
nIng with the Noble County Repub-
lican, a recomendatory notice ap-
pears, advantage having been TIA
ken Of 4 recent uisit tc Marietta of
the editor and publisher of that pa
per. Then follows a more elabor-
ate and special declaration of pecu-
liar fitness and popularity by a cor
respondent at Columbus of the Gin
cinnatI Gazette. People around
here were unable to account for the
wonderfully apprecIatlve acumen of
the Gazette correspondent, and
still the wonder grew until 1T was
discovered that the proud aspirant
had tarr;ed in Columbus on his
way 10 the Canadian Dominion.
whittier ne seems to have gone to
recuperate preparatory to entering
upon the arduous labor of the cam
paign. 1t is expected that an early
issue of the Senatorial organ will
teen with a multitude of these mott
ces under tho head of Spirit of the
Press" From the well known mod
esty of the ambitious gentleman. We.
feel assured they will be followed by
d~eprecatory disclaimers of peculiar
merit, but not unAccompanIed by
assurances of a self-sacrifclng dis
position. Nous U~errons!"
Again. the Mariettidn says
"How do the people of Morgan
like the late play OF the Senator
from this district upon the igno-
rance and credul.ty of the Cincln-
natl Gdzette's correspondent from
Columbus, when he induced hlm to
write him mp tor denomination, and
made him believe that Morgan had
no one so fit for the Office, or even
a candidate? This attempt 10 hustle
DIR. Kennedy off the course, and
locating q barely possible candidate
from Noble, won't work. Such
tricks react, and we opine Morgan
won't stand such insults, but will
demand her rights, and have them
too. She has too many men Of
worth and fitness, and the Doctor
is not the least among them, to be
thus easily set aside. Her steady
support of the dominant party
unwaverIng as it has been, entities
her to better treatment than this
and she will make our handsome
and ambitious Senator regret that
he tarried over the wine at Column
bus. and seduced that soft correse
pendent. Selah !"

Senator sherman Again.

1t will be remembered that we
withdrew our charge against Sena>
tor Sherman. wherein he was &C.
cused of dispensing Intoxicating
liquors to his friends at a Columbus
Hotel during the session Of the late
Republican State Convention, be-
cause we could not substhntiate i.
by n who had seen hIm do So, as
we had supposed we could when we
made it. Although Mr.. Pyle, of tie
GAINESVILLE City Times, asserts that
be was told so by Ole who claimed
to know, yet we would not continue
a charge against any man unless
we knew who had seen the deed
done. But scarcely had our wlth>
drawal of our charge been publish
ed, before the following appeared in
the VolkSfreund. of last Saturday, a
German paper published In CIncin-
natl
"When on Wednesday last the United
States Senator of Ohio, who, for good res
sons, has misgivings about his re election,
made his appearance, in company with a
couple of well-known political wire-Pull-
ers. at the 0rpheus Picuic, and drank beer,
certain ssgacious American observers i'm
mediately remarxed: Here's something
going on similar to that when Mayor Da-
Wis drank beer, before his election"
So, 1t seems that Senator Sher-
man. during his late visit to Cincin-
natl, paid court to the German Gle
ment OF that city by drinking beer
at one of their picnies. Mayor Da-
Wis, of Cincinnati, when he was cleo
pioneering for his present position,
drank copiously of beer, it is said,
for the purpose of influencing the
German vote; and then when he
was elected by mean Ut this vote,
he endeavored to enforce the Sun
day laws against this beer drinking.
The Volksfreund evidently thinks
that Sherman, in drinking beer, was
following out Mayor DAVIS tactics.
We do Eot believe that Sherman is
an incorporate man and never
heard of his being drunk, but we
do believe tina. he is Vne OF those
that would not hesitate to use in
t~oxIcating liquors in order to pave
his way to political preferment
Will any of our Republican co-rem-
.poraries deny this charge of the
FOkSfreund? !
