The Ironton Commercial is one of the
fairest, most candid and. honest papers
on our exchange list, and therefore what
it says is entitled to great weight. 1t
has this to say about the result of the
judicial convention:
The result is more than an ordinary
compliment to the nominee, as an ap-
pointment by the Governor is generally
quite an advantage in securinga nomina-
ton for second term. Judge Hastings,
we believe, has given very general salts
faction, and it was thought by many he
would be, nominated. The nomination
by the convention is, therefore, all the
more significant, and Mr.. Cherrington
will not disappoint those that have thus
honored him. He is thorough student,
and possesses that quick apprehension
so necessary in adjudicating the knotty
questions that frequently arise in litiga-
ton. His election is a foregone conclu-
sion.
There can be no question as to Mr..
Cherrington's election. 1t is only ques-
tion of how many thousands his majori-
ly shall be- Judge Hastings had over
two thousand majority last fall. Let
Cherrington's be three thousand. 1t can
be done.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
THE TICKET.

The Republican nominations having
now been completed, above we give the
result We intend to support, and vote
for, every man on that ticket. They rep
resent the principles of the Republican
party, which we believe to be the best
political principles ever promulgated by
any party. We assert that all the men
on the above ticket are honest, capable.
sober, moral men. True, there are some
matters about which we would differ with
all of them perhaps. On the question of
women voting and holding office, they
would all perhaps differ with u.s. Bnt
that question is not yet political issue
IN the election. On the tobacco oues-
ton we would differ We are sorry to
say that some of them smoke. But our
opinion upon this question is the same
as upon the liquor question; let every
man eat and drink what he chooses, and
hold any religious principles he may, SO
long as he does not interfere with the
rights, comforts, convenience or happi-
ness OF others. Then the lazy must step
in and protect the innocent. If we ask
law forbidding our candidates smoking,
they have the same right to ask for
law forbidding us drinking coffee or eat
ing meat. So you see this thing might
go too far. The old homely adage will
apply here, Live and let live"

A cock that's silent, and a hen that crows"
Mr.. MAcKLEY:
l accept your explanation of the Back
US affair, and acquit you of any artifice in
the matter. Noo mark did not say, that
you knes0 who the author was. only in
timated that you might know, and asked
if it were not C. R. 1 did not attribute
demagogism to you on any other grounds,
than that of trying to palm off burlesque
for authentic Prohibition dictum. l can
only account for the fact of your being so
badly sold, by your indiscreet eagerness
to seize upon any thing which you think
calculated to throw cold water upon the
Prohibition movement, forgetting that
cold water is what we flourish on. The
sarcasm of the piece was SO palpable, that
did not once suspect a sensible man
like you-an Editor too-could read
dozen lines, much less quote from it,
without discovering it. Why, the men
in the Office and even school boys could
see it. Is it in accordance with editors
etiquette. to couple question with an
injunction to not Ge or pre0aricate in the
answer; or are we to take this as evil
dence, that you would prove no better
defender of womans rights, than of tenn
perance. 1 have not noticed, that you
have prefaced any question to a gentle
man in this way. Mr. Mackley does not
know us very well, or he would under
stand that we me0er prevaricGte. You say.
And now, Mrs. Kirkendall, what do you
mean by asking us to answer through the
STANDARD If the initials of Eli Backus are
hot c. R.? We want no "unjustifable
prevarication. l am quite unable to
reconcile this with my ideas of politeness,
and should like an explanation. Did
you ever hear me spoken of, as prevari-
cators l have no hesitancy in answering
your question. The similarity of the
misspelling and grammatical errors in
Eli Backus' production to the same err
rors in the other communications which
appeared the same week, led me to sup
pose that the author had had access to
the manuscripts, and l was not aware
that any person connected with the
office, other than Charles Rhodes, ever
wrote for the press. The first epistle of
Eli considered very good joke, but
the animus and covert design which
crops out in the second convinces me
that / was mistaken as to the author, and
as we have now both become interested
in finding him out, let me suggest that
you save yourself the trouble to inquire
of the citizens of Middleton. would re-
fer you to Eben Jones, your townsman
and our friend, as he has townsman and
our friend, for he has had opportunity of
becoming acquainted with the hand writ
ing of the dwellers on Flint Run and |
and 1 think he would prove a |
good erpert, in deciphering their chirog- |

The Portsmouth Times undertakes to
caricature the judicial convention at
Portsmouth, and stir up feeling against
the nomination of Mr.. Cherington. 1t
need not 'fret its gizzardr jackson
county is all right. Mr. Hastings told
Us that he had requested one of the del
sssa1es not - haEe dis name igoz beforsl

ing that Mr. Hastings desired the nomi-
nation. The people of jackson county
do not forget that Lawrence county
never had member of Congress. Last
fill she presented one of her most wor-
thy citizens, and when Mr. Bundy of our
county succeeded in getting the nomina-
ton, not only Mr.. Neal, but all the Re-
publicans of the county came up bravely
to the work, and Mr.. Bundy's majority
was nearly three thousand in the district
And now the Republicans of jackson
county propose to return the compli-
ment, and do their share in swelling Mr..
Cherington's Majority to three thousand.

IT. The Ed;,oy of the Standard .

10 the Edtt0T OF Lae CtdTlUdTd;
You seem over anxious to know if l
voted for John Connolly in 1869. am
sorry cannot give you positive answer,
but my convictions are that L did not. 1
was probably not at the election to which
you refer, as L was at school during apart
of 1869. But suffice it to say, that never
knowingly voted for any man down with
the delirium tremens. Now, as to the
Senator question which gives you so
much unnecessary perplexity- vote
for Prohibitionist, but. like your own
candidate, Mr.. Harrison, who the man
will be. can not tell. Why, such useless.
anxiety, if according to your estimate, 1
will only receive two hundred votes in
the county. W. SCoTT.

August 29th, 1873.
Mr.. Nackley:
DEAR S1R:-I write this time, merely to
bid you good bye. l am off. Ny face is
toward the setting sun. Perhaps brief
explanation is due you. and the friends
of prohibition also. When l went into
the party, found every member aiding the
ticles, and said to myself, what is to pre-
vent you from doing the same. But
there is where missed it. / soon found
each brother cursing the articles of the
others, and saying, "those fools are bound
to ruin the cause; they will surely stop
when they see what asses they have made
of themselves" and SO we all went on
writing for your paper, each one think
ing the others would surely quit. Truly,
the pen is mightier than the sword if it
be true that they that take up the sword,
shall perish by the sword, it is equally
true of the pen. But Mr.. Mackley, there
are other reasons, of a personal nature
why feel that t is prudent to fly. She
seeketh me,-with "cry as shrill, As Goss
hawks whistle, on the hill" l am a
poor lone man, and ever since l came to
mans estate when 1 heard that one of
EN- was seeking me, L took the wings of
the morning, or whatever transportation
came first, and got. but l donot intend
to leave my principles behind. amongst
the noble Red men of west. L expect to
rear aloft the banner of prohibition. l
go to a land where the little hatchet and
not the pen, does the work. here,-as
the red man would say-heap too much
write. And now kind friends bid you
all last, final, farewell. Ere this meets
your eye mr. Edetor, l expect to be Rea-
sonfng5Mith poor a.Los, ON Righteousness
Temperance, and Judgement to come.
you can say to the woman, he whom
you seek is not here, Good bye.

Mrs. Kirkendall cannot see how it can
be polite to caution her against prevari-
cation, as we have not SO cautioned gen.
tleman. The reason is, that no gentle
man has called us a demagogue and po-
litical trickster, and we do not think any
gentleman would do so. and we regret that
any lady should feel herself authorized to
do that which gentleman would not do.
Editors think they have some rights that
even eOOmen should respect
And now Mrs. K, do you not think
that the following squints considerably
towaras "unjustifiable prevarication p
:" Noso mark Idid not say, that you kne,o
who the author was" Then why in the
name of all the Prophets and Apostles
did you publicly ask US to tell in the

were not C. R.? FIVE did not know the
author. how could we answer your ques-

The Republican State convention of
Wisconsin met at Madison last week
Among the resolutions were the follow
ing:
"Resolued, That we disapprove and con-
denim the recent measure by which Con-
gress allowed additional compensation to
itself for past services, and demand that
the provisions of the act by which con-
gressional salaries were increased shall be
promptly and Internationally repealed
"ResoZved, That it is contrary to the
theory of representative government that
any legislative body should make laws
exclusively for their own benefit, and we
therefore favor an amendment to our
national Constitution, which shall forever
prohibit any Congress from increasing its
own compensation"

The Democratic State Convention for
Pennsylvania met at Wilkesbarre last
week. The salary thieves did not receive
much Endorsement, as the following. will
BnOW:
At O clock, the committee being ready
to report, the convention was called to
order, and the chairman of the commit
tee, Col. Robert Dechert, read the name
of Hon. R. Milton Spear for permanent
Chairman. At this point A. H. Slatz, of
York, interrupted, and moved the non
concurrence of the convention in the re-
port of the committee so far as read, Civ
ing as his reason that Spear had, as MEM
Der of Congress, taken back pay. The
motion and remarks of Mr.. Slatz were
received with great applause by a major
ity of the convention. -
Spear replied, defending his actions as
a public man, pleading his services and
fealty to the Democratic party, and ask
ing the convention not to give way to
the personal clamor of the hour He.
stated that he had not sought the honor
of presiding over the convention, but
now that the committee had presented
his name, he hoped that he would not be
stabbed in the house of his friends. r.
E. Manahan and w. d. Moore supported
the motion of Slatz, and denounced the
salary grab in severe terms. c. W. Car
rigan and j. Lawrence Getz spoke in be-
half of Spear. The latter gentleman up
held. the back pay bill, and was hissed
from the floor. The sense of the conven-
ton was almost unanimously against
Spear being the. permanent Chairman.
He was wise euodgh to see this and in
short speech withdrew his name, and
moved that the name of DIR. Andrew Ne
binger be substituted. This was carried,
and the committee reported list of
Vice Presidents, including one from each
district, and number of Secretaries,

sconded-at least he tries to convey that
i1apuossio4a. w do mot believe IL. we
suspect that he is still lurking up some
dark hollow on Mulga or Flint Run. We
showed his letters to experts from Milton
township, and they declare that William
J. Kirkendall is the man We do not
believe it. He is nota "demagogue" or
political trickster." Our private opin-
ion is that Eli Backus is a woman, of the
female persuasion
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1873-09-04

One of the great objections to women
voting is, that if they vote they must
fight. This is not a valid argument.
But we do claim that if women write for
the press they must be governed by the
same rules that govern men. A true ed
itor should value his reputation for truth
and fairness at price beyond computa-
ton in dollars and cents. 1t should be
as sacred to him as womans reputation
for chastity is to her. To call an editor
''trickster" is no light charge. Web
ster defines trickster as zone who tricks !;
deceiver; a. cheat"

Those not acquainted with the matter,
are not aware of the difficulty in avoiding
mistakes in newspapers. In private
note to us, Mrs. Kirkendall says:
should [ be imposing { On yoaf u editorial

correction for me? In my last article

Gle which was published Aug. fourteenth,

conviction that all alcoholic beverages
were not only hurtful, but positive evil,
and that there should be some means of
suppressing this evil, has been gaining
ground among thinking people for years.:
In the STANDARD there are eight words
gone, beginning after the word 'but. "
This very much impairs the sense.
These are little things, nevertheless
very annoying, and none the less so
where the oversight is my own.
