commanding him to bring portion of the

Sheriff refused to obey the writ OH the ground

THE Butler County Democrat
seconds the nomination of Hon. Thos.
A. Scott, for the Presidency, by the
Cincinnati Enquirer, in the following
manner.
A few so called Democratic papers
are experiencing rapturous sensation
over the idea of running Thomas
Scott, as the Democratic Candidate
for President, giving as a reason that
he successfully managed the Pennsyl-
vania Central Railroad monopoly.
The Cincinnati Enquiries, with its
usual readiness to prostitute itself,
says, ''if Scott is nominated upon q
judicious PLATFORM" he viii, sweep
things before him like tornado.
Now we wish to know what the En-
quirer means by a 'Judicious plat
form," similar 10 the false depart
ure ?" Mr.. Scott may be good

political telescope OF the Enquirer,
but we want to know whether he is q
good enough Democrat to plant him

an aggressive war upon all of the
frauds, usurpaticns and robbevies of
the present Ruling Dynasty? II he
is such a Democrat, and is otherwise
qualified, we see no objection to his

Democrat, down with him.

SDeech of E,nDeror William

The German Reichstag was opened
on the 10th inst, by the Emperor
William in person. The Emperor's
speech on that occasion was reported
in substance by cable. The closing
paragraph will, however, bear print
ing in full:
AS regards foreign politics, I have
been abe to devote my attention to
the Development and consolidation of
the peace just concluded with France
the more entirely, since the relations
with all foreign governments are
peaceful and supported by mutual
good will. My endeavors, therefore,
aim at Strengthening the well ground
ed confidence that the new German
empire will be trustworthy shield
of peace In this connection it is a
specially important, but to me also a
specially welcome task to maintain
with the Immediately neighboring
States of Germany, and the sover-
eigns OF the powerful empires which
directly border on it from the Baltic
to the Lake of Constance, friendly re
lations of such kind that their reali
" shall be undoubted in the public
opinion of every country. The thought
that the meetings which l had this
summer with the monarchs Of these
neigboring empires, who are person
ally SO closely connected with me,
may, by strengthening public conf
dence in the peaceful future of Europe
further the realization of this pros
pect, is specially pleasing to my heart
The German empire and the Austro-
Hungarian Imperial State are, by
their geographical position and their
historical development, so forciblv
and in so manifold a manner called
upon to entertain friendly and neigh
borlv relations with each other that
| the fact of these relations having
| ceased to be troubled by the reminis,
cence OF conflicts, which were the
undesirable inheritance of the last
| thousand years, will be received by
the entire German nation with sincere
satisfuction. The hearty reception
| wnich l, rs representative of this en-
pire, received in every part of the
great fatheriand, and which has filed
me with joyful satisfaction, but,
above all, with thanks to God fol the
blessings which will in future not fail
to our constant and honest endeavors
is pledge that such satisfaction will,
in view of the complete development
of the German empire. be felt by the
great majority OF the ration.

BETTER late than never, but our
Democratic Incorporates would
be entitled to more credit if they had
denounced the New York Tammany
thieves and robbers from the begun
ing, instead of waiting until weak
or two before the election in that city.
1t was the Republican press aided by
citizens Of both parties that relent-
lessly denounced and exposed those
scoundrels. The Republican admins
tration at Washington don't wait,
till it is forced by public opinion to
bring to justice official thieves, but as
soon as any of them are detected,
they are promptly arrested, tried and
sentenced. The Tammany ring OF
New York has its allies all over the
country. 1t was the Tammanv De
mocracy that sent Mungen to Con
gress and elected Jackson in this

Ohio Electiou-Its Results.


The Oberlin News thus .truthfully
and briefly sums up the course and
results of the late election in this
State, and we adopt AID fully sane
ton its deductions:
The result of the late election in
Ohio are highly significant. The
Democratic party sought in its plat
form to hide its past record by pre-
tending to acquiesce in the recent
amendments to the Constitution,
which tSey had openly and bitterly
opposed. They revived their green
back theory, attacked the national
banks, and resolved against protec-
tive tariff. On this platform they
placed a General, who was as desti
tute of fighting qualities as the prin
ciples it embodied were absurd.
The Republican party, on the
other hand, had no record to CON
demn, no "new departures to make,
but proudly pointed to the past as an
earnest of devotion to the right, and
boldly took issue with the Democrats
on questions of finance and tariff, and
warmly endorsed the national ad
ministration. On this platform the
Republicans placed real General,
who had exposed life and sacrificed
limb in defense of principle which
found in him an able and eloquent
advocate before the people. The re
suit is, his triumphant election by
more than twenty thousand majority.
Another result is, the hearty ap-
proval by the people of Ohio, OF
General Grant and the policy OF his
administration. In view of such ex-
pressions it is not surprising that
Democrats, in certain quarters,
should hesitate concerning the pro-
priety of making a nomination for
the Presidency next year.
The chief aim, however, of the
Democrats of Ohio was to secure the
Legislature. They cared compare
lively little about the State tichet. if
they could only impose upon Repub-
lican Ohio another sympathizer OF
Ku Kluxism to stand by the side of
Thurman in the United States Sen
ste. Another pei object of the hun
CRY Democracy was to SO district tie
State that several of its Rip Van
| Wrinkles would be called forth from
their slumbers to occupy seats in
Congress.
In their efforts to cheat the people
ont OF the Legislature, the Dem mocrats
made Senator Sherman special OBJ
ject OF attack. The rebels durinp
the war we're not more bitter in their
feelings toward the brilliant com
mander wko bore our arms in tri-
umph to the sea, than were the Dem
ocrats OF Ohio to Senator Sherman
during the late campaign. Especial
ly was this the case in the doubtful
counties like AnoZ, Hardin, Hancock,
and Vinton. In Cuyahoga too, they
tried to play their little game, but
here, as in every one of the above
counties, they were beaten on The
Legislative ticket 1t should be
borne in mind that the Democrats
not the Republicans, made the issue
on the United States Senator When
ever the Democ.ats forced the issue
on Senator Sherman, they found the
Republicans ready TO meet them, ana
wherever tried before the people,
they were routed. Hence, Obio's 5

There are two requisites necessary
for an accomplished thief. He must
be good at stealing and he must be
good at hiding what he steals. 1t is
just as bad for the thief to be caught
having in possession stolen goods, as
to be caught in the act of stealing.
The democratic party has the first re
quisite-the capacity to steal-but
lacks the second--the talent for hid
ing. The Den ocracy have all along
been stealing Republican principles,
but have failed to so hid heir i'll got
ten possessions as TO make the people
believe those principles were honest
Democratic principles.
The Democratic party is now ct
tempting to steal a Presidential can.
didate who shall have no odor of
Democracy about his garments. The
Missouri Republican plan is to make
no Democratic nomination, and after
the Republican nomination shall be
made the Democracy to unite on the
man whose chances for defeating the
Republican nomination are the best.
The head center of the revolutionary
Democracy, Frank Blair, has a pro-
ject for the Democrats to nominate
the sorest- headed renegade Republi
can that can be found after the Re
publicaus shall have selected their
candidate. The Cincinnati Enquirer
would have the Democrats nominate
Scot OF the Pennsylvania Central.
because Scott is not enough of a
Democrat to hurt him, and because
he will draw Republican votes.
And SO it goes. A candidate is
wanted for the Democratic party,
badly wanted, but no Democrat need
apply for the situation. The '.new de
parture' was an attempt to steal Re
publican principles, but the trouble
was in finding Democrat who could
avow those principles without max
i ing laughing stock of himself and
running the thing into ridlcule. Now,
the Democratic leaders are cropping
around TO find some Republican OF
easy virtue, who can take up the
'new departure without raising q
horse laugh. Democracy has cone

UNTIL recently we had supposed
that Senator Thurman would be at
least the choice of the Ohio Democ.
racy for their candidate for the Pre-
sidency next year, bu. to our sur
prise the Cincinnati Enquirer, which
has done so much bowling about
railroad monopolies, selects as its
choice, Mr.. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
one of the ablest railroad men in the
country. We venture the assertion
that Mr.. Scott will consider himself
more highly complimented if the
Enquirer can devise some plan by
which he can gobble up the Union
Pacific Railroad, and thus secure a
continuous line TO the Pacific coast.

Crazy from Fighting Fire.

From the indianapolis Journal, Nov. ID.
A day or two since. Jacob Pittston,
a wealthy farmer OF St. Joseph Coun
ty, was brought to the Insane Hos
pita for treatment. He became iH-
sane from the excitement caused by
fighting the prairie fires which sur
rounded his home two or three weeks
ago. Pittston is a large, powerfully
built man, 10 years old, aud weighs
nearly two hundred pounds. Ittood
the combined strength Of q dozen
men 10 secure him. he figh ing them
as only q mad man can tight. When
overpowered he was lashed to twelve
foot plank and taken TO the Jail, thaL
being the only way they could handle
him. He was fastened to the plank
some twelve hours. As soon as be
was turned loose in q cell lie broke
the iron bedstead to pieces IS il it had
been made of wood, tore up the bed
clothing and his own. 1t became
necessary for the Sheriff to enter his
cell. Speaking to two of the prison
ers to aid him, he unlocked the cell
door. Pittston, perfectly nude aad
armed with an iron bar-a portion of
the bedstead--was walking in circle
about the cell. Waiting until his
back was turned, the Sheriff quickly
opened the door and springing for
the crazy mans neck, closed his arms
around it. The prisoners as quickly
followed. and after a terrible struggle
Pittston was co nQuered and bound.

Elections. Tuesday.

The returns thus far received are
scattering and unreliable, but the in
dication is that the State Of New
York has gone Republican by several
thousand, both branches of the Legis-
lature being considered safe, although
Tweed and several other of his asso-
ciates are reelected. No serious dis
turbances occurred in New York City,
as was apprehended. The Republi-
cans of ; Massachusetts triumphed
over all combinations and in Wis
consin also. New Jersey, as we ex-
pected. has probably gone Democrat
