REPUBLICAN CONVENTION,

State Republican conventions
were held on Wednesday at Madi
son, Wisconsin, and Louisville, Ken
lucky. The Republican majority
last year in the former State was 81
39l, and it has not been carried by
the Democrats since 1885. The
Democratic majority in the latter
was 36,976, and excepting defeat
in 1868, the Democrats have held
power since 1855. The Kentucky
Convention pledged its delegates to
support the Philadelphia nomination
by an overwhelming majority. The
Wisconsin Convention spread its
approval Of the President and the
Administration over more ground,
and recommend the delegates to the
National Convention to vote solidly
for Grant. The harmony of these
conventions,the completeness of the
victory in New Hampshire, the gain
of thirty-one Supervisors in thirty
three New York these are
all instant evidences of the suprem-
acy of the party over discomfort in
its own ranks and over every form of
outside opposition.

VALUE OF sToRM SIGNALS.


The Eastern papers record an
other instance of the value of the
storm signal system, now IN opera
tion in this country. The advan-
tage in this instasce applies to the
people of 4 seaport town in Massa-
chnsetts. On perfectly still day
in smooth sunllt harbor lay at an
chor fifty vessels ready to put to
sea, but deferred from SO doing by
the cautionary signal of a coming
storm displayed by order of the
Meteorological Bureau. Soon af,
ter dark the gale burst forth with
an almost unprecedented fury. How
many lives were preserved and how
much property saved by this single
prediction it is difficult even &c
guess. Few of thevessels would have
weathered the storm without sus
tanning some damage, and many o
them would have been wrecked ant
utterly destroyed. ''A ..

THE STATE OF OHIO.

1t is interesting to look over the
history of this great State, and note
its rapid ascendancy to its present
position rs third in the Union. AS
shown by .chart1inL the Annual Re
port Of the Secretary of State, just
received, Ohio in 1900 had a popu-
lation of 1896, and at that time
eighteenth in number. In 1910 she
had raised to the thirteenth in size.
During the next ten years, she grew
very rapidly and in 1920 stood as
the fifth State in the Union. Dur
ing the next decade she raised one
step higher and in 1880 was fourth.
She still kept gaining on her elder
sisters until 1910 she took her stand
as the third State in the Union, which
stand she has preserved ever since.
At no time since her admittance as
State, has she fallen behind for a
single year, but kept gradually and
rapidly increasing until in 1870 her
population reached 1865, 5,26O. She
will have to look to her laurels, or the
great State of Illinois will snatch
them from her during the present
decade of years. That State rose
to the position of fourth in 1860,
and now lacks a little more than a
hundred thousand to be equal to
Ohio in population.

From the Ohio Fdrmer.l
Agricultural Fairs.
By C. T. LEONARD.

If there is one Institution that should
be of more benefit than another to the
residents of farming community, it is
that of agricultural Fairs. When estab-
lished and carried on as their very name
implies that they should be, they be-
come of almost inestimable Importance
to the county or State in which they
are annually held. As an educator of
the farming public they should have no
equal-except, perhaps, the agricultural
journal. But to proclaim good work
and carry out the same seems, in this
case most especially, to be quite a diff
ferent thing. What advantage is to be
derived from Il name which implies
good so long as the works are evil or
have tendency to such results?
To illustrate my position more plaIn-
ly, let us suppose that advertise an in
stitution of learning, where the sciences
and languages are to be taught, the
students surrounded by the usual moral
influences, etc., etc., and instead of
books, l introduce the faro table, dice
box and the like and carry OIL IN exten-
siye gambling saloon in the face of all
opposition. DO deserve patronage or
not? This brings us to the question
under consideration, and in the eXami-
nation of the subject let us meet the
facts ''fairly and squarely," regardless
of sectional interests or personal preju-
dices. If 1t becomes necessary for me
to deal little in statistics In the out
start | beg the pardon of my readers
and offer them the consolation that
though figures are dull reading yet they
never lie.
l have before me premium list of an
agricultural society in this (Ashtabula)
county containing a list of the premi-
ums offered for their ''Firt annual Fair"
held in 1866, and let me say here that
by comparison / find in those of later
publication but little variation from the
first. take up the first published for
the reason that-as l suppose-it was
upon that they hoped to establish re-
putation to aid them during the success
sive exhibitions to be held at the same
place, and it is not hard to see that, in
Il certain way, they have succeeded. BY
reference to this list find that the pre-
miums offered on horses amounted to
two hundred and ten dollars, and inclu- ,,
ded in that amount six dollars only is
offered for the best farm horses. For
the same year the total premiums OH

QUITE AMUSING.

1t is quite amusing to notice the
way the Democratic journals receive
the tidings of Republican triumph
sent out to the world by New Hamp-
shire. They had hoped that by Sc
curing triumph in the "Granite
State" the nomination Of Grant by
the Philadelphia Convention would
be prevented, for they fear him as q
candidate more than they could any
other man. Their wailing and
gnashing of teeth sound mournful
now, as witness the following gush
of sorrow from the chief organ and
mouth-piece Of the Ohio Democra-
cy:
"The returns from New Hampshire
indicate that the Republicans have car
ried the State. Our regrets at 4 Demo-
cratic defeat are mitigated somewhat
by the fact that the result removes all
doubts as to Grants nomination at
Philadelphia. In well informed polit-
ical circles it has been conceded for a
week or two that the loss of New
Hampshire, followed by that of Con-
necticut next month, would shelve the
great present-taker."

ANOTHER.

Again Judge Chase rises to the
surface, and once more in his old
role as an aspirant for the office o.
President. His friends, whose nu
merical strength has been dwindling
down steadily during the past sew
eral years, propose to meet the con
vention at Parkersburg, West Vir
ginia, on the 18th proximo, to. or
ganize another national party o.
Grant haters, and with the illustri
Gus Chief Justice at their head tc
make fight for the office of Presi

TOWNSHIP NOMINATIONS,

Nominations for Township offices
should be made at least one week
before the election, which occurs on
the first Monday in April. There
are several reasons why nominations
should be made week in advance,
the most important of which is, that
it gives opportunity to get tickets
printed, thus placing candidates be-
fore the people in a proper manner,
and enabling a free choice of candi-
dates. We urge upon the Republi-
cans Of the county the Importance
of securing township officers for the
ensuing year if possible. We are
on the eve of an important political
campaign and every advantage, nc
matter how small, should be taken
possession of. Nominate your best
men for Trustees and elect them.
Small beginnings oft make large
endings, and if we would make our
election sure" we must commence
early and work late. Therefore we
urge: 'Take time by the fore-lock -

First Gun Of the Campaign.
NEW HAMPSHIRE RE-
DEEMED.

The first Republican victory Of
the Presidential year was won in
New Hampshire, at the State elec
tion on Tuesday, March 18th. In
total vote reported of over $4,000,
which is but 1000 less than the full
vote of last spring, Straw (Republi-
can) has a plurality of 1927 over
Weston Dem. and a majority of
1.,79S over the combined Democrat
ic. Labor Reform and Temperance
vote. The Republican gain is mark
ed over the vote of last year, when
Weston Dem. had plurality OF
S07 over Pike Rep and lacked but
I66 votes of majority of all the
votes cast. But the gain in the
Legislature is even more significant
and encouraging. Weston was cleo
ed Governor by the last Legislature
on joint ballot by majority of s,
which was the combined majority
of the Democratic, Labor Reform,
and Temperance vote. But the Leg
islature elected on Tuesday stands
Republicans 167; Democrats for La
Dor Reform 8: Temperance 3; show
ing a Republican majority over all
of 81 votes.
| This is the answer of New Hamp-
shire to the assault of Messrs Sum
ner and SchurS6n the Senate upon
Gen. Grant and the Republican Ad-
ministration of which he is the head.
During the canvass Schurz and Sum
ner's speeches were the principal
campaign documents. For weeks
before the election, the State was
flooded with them under the frank
of Democratic Congressman; but as
the event has proved TO no other ell
feet than most singing reproof oi
the disaffected apl disorganizing
Senators in their partisan raid upon
the government and Republican par
ty., The whole country feels just. as
New Hampshire has expressed her
self on this subject, and we look for
Connecticut to confirm the verdict
of the Granite State in favor of the
administration and the unity of the
Republican party at the election in
that State next month. The result
has justified our late declarations
that Mr.. Sumneg has lost his infiu-
ence in New England, and that the
arch conspirator. and revolutionist
Schurz is po~erless to lead bolt
from the Republican ranks into the
camp of the Democracy and Labor
heformers- y. --9ni-- .a. -.

CONGRESS.

On Tuesday of last week. the bin
refundlng to States taxes paid on
Salaries was reported adversely and
put on the calendar. The bill grant
ing right of way to the Great South
ern Railroad in Florida came up.
The bill was opposed by Mr.. Morill
of Maine. The bill passed. Bills
were introduced to prevent the de
struction of timber on public lands.
Also one to provide an adequate
supply of circulating medium for
States needing it. 1t directs the
Secretary of the Treasury, on an
application of Governors of States,
to supply them treasury notes to an
amount which. in connection with
national bank notes already furnish
ed, shall make eight dollars for
each inhabitant,provided that State
security is given for the repayment
of such sums in 10 years.
The House occupied some time in
considering the amnesty question.
and also the Post Office appropria-
ton bill. On Wednesday Mr..
Conklings resolution concerning
Senatorial recommendation caused
long and excited debate. The Sen
ate then proceeded to the further
consideration of the Legislative Ap-
preparation Bill.
The House passed numerous bills
not of very general interest. On
Friday the Senate listened to an
able speech from Senator Sherman
on the tariff question. r=-'''
Mr. Sherman discussed the general
principles of protection and free
trade. claiming that the former
should be maintained as the essen
tial foundation of our national pros
perity, and closed by stating that
the Committee on Finance was of
the opinion that now, when so many
taxes are repealed, there ought to
be general reduction of. duties on
taxable and metallic fabrics, and
that this reduction should be at the
rate of ten per cent. which is about
the rate of the aggregate reduction
of tariff duties. We expect to en-
counter the opposition of those who
favor a maintenance of the highest
duties on foreign competing fabrics
and those who would abruptly dis
turb our industry by a sudden and
radical reduction Of duties to what
they term free trade standard, and
perhaps both classes of opposition
will unite in repeating the purely
revenue duty on tea and coffee.
If this is done, We can repeal 9th
er taxes with safety to the public
service, and he would then vote for
striking out the ratable reduction ON
textile and metallic fabrics, and
then called for ayes and noes on his
amendment to place tea and coffee
on the free list. "s -i-s..

have ever been given than in the
case of ex Imperial Minister Rouher

his seat as Deputy in the French

infuriated mob of ardent ex-Bona-

WELL SAID.

1t is well said by. the Cincinnati
Times that the Republican party is
of intellectually higher consequence
than any individual Republican.
Therefore, those who are trying to

tility, are doing foolish and crimi-
nal thing.

RIGHT.

The Ohio House has passed a
bill providing that judges of elec
tions after the counting of votes has
commenced, shall continue till the
counting is complete, without ad-
journment, and without removal Of
the ballot box from the place where
the counting was begun. To make
the bill more perfect, it ought to re-
quire the judges to count the ballots
where the polls were held.
