AARON KIRKENDALL.

Our candidate for Treasurer is the
present incumbent. No one sought his
place in the convention, and it was gem
orally understood that the Democrats
would not put up man against him.
The Prohibitionists, it will be seen, did
not nominate a candidate for Treasurer
This is the heaviest load that Mr.. Kirk
endall will have to carry. His brother
William J. Kirkendall, is moving spirit
in this side. show business to defeat the
Republican ticket, and we hear great
many persons say that if the Democrats
put up good man they will vote for him,
to spite William j. Kirkendall This is
to be regretted. We do hope that the
Prohibitionists will yet nominate can
didate for Treasurer, and give this Grip
pied soldier fair shake. When Aaron
Kirkendall thinks of his stout right arm
which he left on the field of battle, fight
ing for the very existence of his country,
when attacked by the rebel Democracy,
he does not propose just yet to go into
any side issue, and put this same old en-
emy in possession of the Government.
Let not the indiscreet zeal of his brother
work a wrong to brave and worthy
manned soldier

Our candidate for Representative is a
young man. in his 2Sth year, but he has
remarkably youthful appearance, and
he would not be taken for more than 81
by person not knowing his age He is
a SON of Nelson Harrison, once a prom
inent and very worthy. citizen of this
county. who died some fifteen years or
more ago.
Thomas was a boy when his father died,
but he managed by his own exertions to
attend college, and he came out one OF
the most thorough scholars in the county
He is one of the few young men who lets
his education be governed by modesty
and good common sense. He has follow.
ed teaching most of the time since he left
college, but he is now engaged in farm
ing. He resides mile above Portland,
on the jackson road, on a part of what
was once the farm of the celebrated Dr.
Gabriel McNeel, one of the pioneers OF
the county. His step-mother is daugh-
ter of DIR. McNeel. Mr.. Harrison is a
married man.
A good many men in Jackson county
came to the conclusion that they would
discard office-seeking politicians, and Sc
lect candidate of their own. In look
ing for a suitable man, they happily
thought OF young Harrison, as just the
man they wanted. A man of unques-
toned honesty and integrity, of pure and
blameless life, unsullied moral character,
modest and unassuming, raised farmer
boy in this county, and thoroughly iden-
titled with its interests, possessing natu-
raj talents far above mediocrity, and
being thoroughly educated and his mind
well trained, his selection reflects honor
upon the constituency that selected him.
When he was written to upon the sub
ject he was astonished. He had never
thought about seeking Office. But his
neighbors were delighted They all re-
spect Tommy Harrison" and speak of
him in the highest terms.
Let the people send Thomas J. Harri-
son to the Ohio Legislature and they will
never have cause to regret it.

ASA A.. FARRAR.

Our candidate for Recorder is well
known. He is native of the county,
and has always resided in Jackson. His
father, the late James Farrar, was Recor-
der for many years. and Asa wrote in the
Office when a boy. When the rebellion
broke out Asa was q STRIPPING of a boy,
but he volunteered, and served faithfully
and was severely wounded in the hand,
rendering him cripple for life.
Mr.. Farrar has been salesman in the
store of Oliver g. Miller for some years.
He is a modest, quiet man, faithfully at
tending to his business. We have known
Asa ever since he was boy, and we
think no one can bring any accusation
against him. AS to his fitness for Office,
there is no question.

SAMUEL P. BALDRIDGE.

Mr.. Baldridge, We believe, is a native
of Adams county. He was in the war to
put down the rebellion, and after he
came out of the service he came to Jack
son and engaged in the clothing business.
After some years he commenced peddling
and has been in that business ever since.
He is well acquainted all over the coun-
ty, and an extended notice is not neces-
sary.
No one doubts the qualifications of Mr..
Baldridge to fill the Office of Auditor
well. He served one term as School Ex-
aminer. and We had opportunity to ascer-
tain his qualifications as a scholar. He
is a remarkably industrious man, and at
tends promptly and faithfully to any
business he may have in hand. We do
not know that Mr. Baldridge has an enc
mey in the world; if he has that enemy
will not breathe word against the char
acter of Mr.. Baldridge. either as to moral
ity or integrity.

THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.

F The ticket put in nomination by the
Prohibitionists on last Saturday is COM
posed of as worthy and competent men
as we have in jackson county. They
have no hope Of being elected. We do
not for a moment impugn their motives
But nine-tenths of what votes they may
receive will be drawn from the Republi-
can ranks, and thus be votes directly
thrown for the Democracy. OF the 29
men who composed the convention, 26
were Republicans. We only noticed q.
w. Fry, B. F. Scott and Winfield Scott,
whom we know to have ever voted the
Democratic ticket There may have
been one or two other Democrats among
them, but we think not. They appoint
ed IL committeeman, one from each
township, and 10 of the ii are Republi-
cans.
We cannot ignore this movement or
treat it with contempt. We must meet
it as best we can We will have much to
say during the campaign, and our col
umns are open to them also. In the
mean time we ask our Prohibition friends
to read with prayerful consideration the

Gen. Charles H. Grosvenor has been
nominated by acclamation as the Repub-
lican candidate for Representative from
Athens county. In his speech accepting
the nomination Gen. Grosvenor emphat-
ically declared against every man. great
or small, who has voted for back pay,
voted for increased pay, or taken back
pay He denounced in advance all who
shall refuse in December to vote early
and vote all the time to repeal the whole
law giving increase of pay to a single
officer He was equally in earnest against
all of those guilty of completely with the
Credit Mobilier and all other wrongs

Letter from Lebanon.
LEBANON, ONO, July l, 1873.

LEBANON, OHIO, July l, 1873.
To the Editor Of the Standard:
Lebanon is a very pretty place, con-
tanning about 1900 inhabitants.
1t is situated in the midst of q rich
farming country, FIVE miles from the Lit
tie Miami Railroad.
A bus-line connects Lebanon and Deer
field, that being the nearest station.
Stage lines also connect Lebanon with
Dayton and other points.
1t is noted as being the home of the
talented lawyer and statesman, Thomas
Corwin; also being the home of ex-Goy.
McBurney.
At the Lebanon House, in this place
Mr.. Vallandigham met his death.
The cemetery west of town is very
pretty place. Some of the monuments
are very nice and present beautiful an
pearance.
Floraville, the southwestern part of
the town, is the prettiest part of it. 1t
is noted for its nice and most beautiful
buildings, and in the yards there are
many beautiful trees, of different kinds,
which add great deal to its appearance,
and it looks as beautiful as Mr. D. and
Miss E. do when going along the beauti-
full streets in your fourishing village
North of the town is the reservoir, cov-
ering an area of nearly 80 acres. 1t was
made for a canal feeder or a starting
point. But it is used now for the purpose
of supplying the different mills and fac
tories. South west of town is the Infirm-
ary, and it is beautiful building. There
are several extensive Dry Goods estab-
lishments, and Groceries and Drug Stores,
and the proprietors seem 10 be good
business men in every respect. 1t has
one large factory and a tannery, Union
School House, Court House, and several
large business houses. There are IL
churches, some are very nice buildings,
others are not so good. Its religious af-
fairs don't know but very little in re-
gard to its bases. Most of the dwelling
houses are splendid, others not so good.
! The Normal School at this place. under
he charge of Prof A. Holbrook, is large
lS Nttended by students from almost ev-
cry tate in the Union, the present ses-
sion (7l) numbering more than any other
since the school was organized, and it is
one of the best schools in the State, or
any other State. There are fifteen teach
ers engaged in this school, and they seem
to be so nice and clever, and they take
interest in their work
The city of Lebanon looks very well,
except the pavements, which are worse
than any other city that / visited. Most
of the pavements are made of limestone,
| others of bricks. | think that the men
that placed them we're nearly blind, for
some are inches higher than the others
and it makes very unpleasant walking,
especially for the ladies, and also for the
tipplers, for there are a good many of
them here j. A. MORGAN.

Mr. Tripp made lengthy and able
speech in the Constitutional Convention
short time ago, on the question of elect

there is much fraud and stealing now GO

tentiary. Asylums, &C. Mr.. Tripp is
right. Let all important offices be filled
by persons elected by the people The
more directly we make all officers re-

Ohio Conference Camp Meeting

The Ohio Annual Conference of the M.

Meeting this year. A iudicious commit
tee has selected Logan as the place, and
August 9th as the time. Invitation IS
given to all the world to come and take
part The members of all churches,
orthodox and hetrodox, and persons not
members are welcome to tent with us. 1t
is expected that every circuit and sta
ton of the NJ E. Church will send at
least one tent and some of them far more
1t is so easy of access from Jackson that
the Methodists of Jackson county should
be well represented. There will be re-
duced fare on the railroad, and cheap
boarding. You can take your own table,
or board at a boarding house. Rev. W.
C. Holiday, of Logan, Ohio, will be glad
to give all information you may desire of
him.
This is the era of Camp Meetings. They
are doing great good in reaching the
masses. Such an one as this brings to-
gether preachers by the hundred, and
the best men and women of q large area
of territory Our churches need that its
members and ministers should have the
benefit of this very meeting. They need
it now-this summer. Think about it
seriously and try to come. Your business
will soon get along very well without you.

Hon. Erastus Wells of Missouri, is one
of those Congressman who were honest
enough not to keep the back pay, but he
was not quite above placing it where he
thought it "would do him most good" by
giving 1t to various religious and charita-
Bile institutions. Part Of it went to an
Episcopal Orphan Asylum in St. LOUIS,
and the Dioeesal Convention has Just
rendered Mr. Wells vote of thanks for
the money. One DR.. Berkeley remarked
that it made no difference where the
money came frnIl-aRd ikened it to a
gamblers gift. Another grateful mem
Der of the Convention thought it was
none of their busines whether Mr.. Wells
stole the money or not The resolution
was finally forced through, against lively
opposition, under the whip and spur of
the previous question" We trust the
Conventions gratitude is agreeable to
Mr.. Wells. They owned they would
have felt as much toward gambler or a
thief, but a Congressman must not be too
particular in these days.-Ca. Chronicle

well known that it would be superhuous

thing, and that is more than forty-five
years ago.
