McCOOk ON THE STUMP.
he TAKETH TOO MUCH PEPPERMINT"
AND GETTETH "SICk."

McCook the NEW departure
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Ohio, attempted to fill his APP
pointment 10 speak at Chillicothe
on the 18th, with the following eff
feet:
especial Telegram 10 the Gin. Commercial.
"CHrLL1coIHE, August Is.-The Demo-
cratic meeting last night proved one ofthe
richest hzzles imaginable. McCOok and
party had spent the afternoon at Ex-Sena-
tor Aliens. Il seems that the hospitality
of the excellent old Senator was too much
for them. Mctook took the stand, and,
after trying to tell something about n poor
cuss that had two babies, he broke down.
His friends came TO his assistance with q
bottle Of peppermint, but he took too much,
sud ehoked up so he couldn't get o word
out. After coughing, crying, &c, he got
one foot on the table sud made out TO say
that the population ofthe United States had
increased thirty-eight million d0Lldrs. Al
ter that be said he was sick and quit. The
Democracy say Ross is gone-McCook has
spoiled all hopes here"
1t seems from the above, and
which is undoubtedly true, that the
Democracy Of Chic arc asked &c
support q man for Governor that
cant keep sober during the cam
pa,gn. If McC0ok was running
upon . pure old Democratic plat
form, we should think 1t would be
hard for the better portion of the
Democracy to support him while
he is conducting himself in the nan
ner described above; but now that
he has deserted the principles OF
the old party. and is trying to run
INTO Office on Republican principles,
nlck-named Democratic, We DO not
hesitate TO predict that he will be
cua,by all true Democrats.

A Poor Argument.

The Marietta Register, OF last
weeK, tells all its Republican read
ers not TO become PrehIbItionis.s
as they will thereby throw the pow
er nto the hands of the Democrats;
that the Democrats only give en-
enlargement to Prohibition in or
der to get Republicans to vote for
1T. This, it occurs 10 US, Is one o;
the poorest OF arguments. What
difference does it make which CT
the old parties are IN power as FAR
as the question Of Prohibition or
temperance is concerned Meth
er OF them dare take q position ev-
en- in favor of enforcing the pres
ent Liquor Laws Of tho STATE.
Both OF them, in their State Con-
ventions, have Surrendered TO the
lager beer and whisky interests by
nominating lager beer and whisky
men for important State offices.
The Republican party has been
most shameful in this surrender,
having not only nominated three
lager beerand whisky men for State
officers, but IN certain localities,
such as Cleveland, mas pledged It's
candidates for the Legislature Il
.he repeal of the State Liquor Laws
We now have. Under such circum,
stances, what can the believers in
the principle of Prohibition expect
from the Republican or Democrat,
party, that would lead :hem Il

Tho most sensible strikers we
have yet heard of are the factory
girls of Lowell. They have resisted
their employers, but unlike many
men, do not propose to sit down
waiting for their demands to be
complied with, and in the meantime
exist on the charity of their sympa-
thizing laboring friends. They
have issued an address concluding
in this manner: ave are working
now at our nOtice-can turn our
hands to almost anyIhing-don't like
to be idle, but determined not %
work for nothing when folks can
afford to pay. Who wants help?

make butter and cheese, milk COWS

should hold on to girls who are as

WORD TO Our Contemporaries.

In this weeks issue of the Her
aid will be found an article taken
from u paper, over which the
Herald editor puts q beading say
ing that we withdraw our charges
against Messrs. Stanton and Nc
Grew. In the Democrat, of this
week, will be found an article an
swerlng our article quoted by the
Herald, and IN which the Demo~
crat quotes u charges against
the Republican candidates, and Ell
deavors to make IT appear that we
changed u paper to a Prohibition
organ because of certain promises
made at one time by Messrs. Stan
ton and McGrew.
We will say to the Herald that
we hare not withdrawn, and TiH not
withdraw our charges against
Messrs. Stanton and McGrew, OF
any other of the Republican candI-
dates, with the exception ofthe one
saying that Senator Sherman dis.
pensed wines and brandies to his
friends at a Columbus hotel during
the session of the late Republican
State Convention, and with the ex-
ceptIon Of the n charging A. d.
Havener with beng a candidate be-
fore the Republican Convention of
two years ago. In a previous issue
Of our paper, we gave u reasons
for Withdrawing the charges we TX
cept, and will not occupy space by
reiteratlng. All the other charges
are true, and we can prove them TO
be so.
To the Democrat we will say
agaIE that Messrs. Stanton and Nc
Grew made their promises, the one
10 give a hundred dollars toward
starting a Prohibition paper in this
County, and the other to take
twenty copies of said paper when 1t
was started, long before VIC had
any idea of publishing a ProhIbl-
ton paper, and that at the time we
commenced publishing q Prchibi-
:Ion paper those promises had long
before ceased to be binding, and
they had lost all sympathy with
the Prohibition movement. Fur
Iher, Messrs. Stanton and McGrew
never made their promises to US.
but to other parties, and We knew
when we commenced publishing a
Prohibition paper that they would
not contribute anything toward its
support unless, perchance, as ordin-
AIRY subscribers.
Our reason for changing our pa
per into a Prohibition organ, wa:
because we thought the principle;
OF the Prohibition party were right
We saw that the Democratic party
was as full of corruption as the Re
publican party, and that both o
them we're only c%onJending for th,
EpoIls of office. We like to worl
and vote Sor a principle, the carry
ing out Of which will benefit man.
kind; we don't care about spending
our life in working for and voting
for this or that set of men for off.
GERS, when their only object II
seeking the offices is to get rich of
the salaries and stealings. w
were never offered anything t
change our paper into a Prohibition
paper, and we never received any
thing for so doing excepting The
ordinary patronage that the peop!,
have bestowed on us; and which W.
are thankful for.
While we cannot object to oul
contemporaries copying from us, W.
ask that they come as near being
honest in their deductions from the
articles they quote from US as sheil
depravItY will allow.

association has been formed, under
the lead of the "EvangelIcal' min
listers aud others, who propose to
interrogate the candidates and if
their responses arc not satisfactory,
an Independent ticket will he put

have pad>Iockcd the mouths of the

them they must decline to answer
all questions. 1t looks now as If
there would be a three cornered

lasting from Saturday ever Sunday
until Monday morning, when they
returned IL q head-achey condition
to Cleveland, but Mr.. Sherman e.
ioiced IN the bllssfui belief that be
had fixed seven votes sure, for the

ments Of home were all freely devoted to
colonial emancipation just the method
to awaken the nobler sentiments of the
terests of others. Washington felt the
electric shock from this benevolent heart,
and took Lafayette to his bosom; nor was
the bond severed till death gave the
stroke of mortal separation.
After the close of the war the young
nobleman, with more of manly maturity
returned to Paris, and over and over
again, in glowing eloquence, rehearsed
the noble virtues of the great American
leader to his young and charming wife.
She, like every true woman, was always
deeply interested in everything that en-
gagged the attention Of her husband. She
soon came to reverence Washington with
a feeling closely allied to that Of devotion.
She correspondent with him, and received
from him cordial invitations to the simple
delights of rural life at Mount Vernon.
In 1884 Lafayette determined to visit
Washington in his retirement. Madame
Lafayette earnestly desired to present
some visible testimony of her regard to
the great patriot. Besides the bond of
personal friendship, there was bond OF
union between Washington and Lafayette
Of different character. They were men,
bers of the fraternity of Free and Ac-
cepted Masons, and both loved the "mys-
tic brotherhood" Madame Lafayette
took advantage of this charm to add in
terest to her testimonial of esteem. She
prepared with her own hands an apron
of white satin, upon which she wrought
in needle work all the various emblems
of the Masonic Order. This she sent
with her husband to be presented to her
ideal of true greatness at Mount Vernon.
1t was kept by Washington as cherish
ed memorial of a noble woman during his
life. 1t now occupies a conspicuous place

The Influence of Pretty Women.

Life becomes more harmonious, it beats
with keener pulse of enjoyment, in the
presence of pretty women. After all, a
charming little figure, piquant little face,
is the best remedy for half the ills of ex
istence, its worries, its vexatiOns its dull
ness, its disappointments. And even in
the larger and more placid types of beauty,
in the beauty of a Lady Dumbello, if
there is a tinge of stupidity, there is, at
any rate, an atmosphere of repose, genial
influence moulding our social converse and
habits into gentler shapes.
1t is amusing to see how the prettiness
of woman tells on her dress, how the order
and propriety of her dress, tells on the
home. The pursuit of beauty, the habit
of prettiness, give an ideal dignity to the
very arrangement of her bonnet strings.
In every movement, in the very sweep Of
her ample folds, in the pose of her Ian
guor, in the gay start of her excitement,
one feels the softening, harmonizing in
fuence of her last look in the glass She
may be gay or sorrowful, quiet or ener-
getic, an imperceptible compulsion over
her, which moulds her whole life into
graceful and harmonious forms. Her
dress rises out of the mere clothing of
man into the regions of science, of poetry.
of art. A thousand considerations of
taste, harmonies of color, contrasts, cor
Responsiveness, delicate adjustments of
light and shade, dictate the choice of
shawl or the tint of glove.
And as prettiness tells on dress, it tells
on the home. Flowers pictures, the gay
notes of sonata, the contest of touches,
gorgeous hues of Indian tapestry, glass
work of Murano, hundred exquisite
something's and nothings, are the natural
setting of pretty women. The art of the
boudoir tells on all but the. chaos of the
husbands study. Around that last re-
fuge of barbarism floats an atmosphere of
taste and refinement in which the pretty
wife lives and moves and has her being.
And from this tone of the home grows
the tone of society, the social laws of good
humor, of propriety, of selfrestraint, of
consideration for others, of gentleness, of
vivacity. The very hush of the rough
tones that have Numbered over Pelo-
ponese as Pericles bends over Aspasia,
the little turns and delicacies of phrase,
the joyous serfdoms and idleness of the
manifest and most energetic of men tells
of the triumph of pretty women.
