Somewhat Inconsistent.

The Democrats Of this State have got things
sightly mixed. Their candidates for Cover
and Lieutenant Governor will scarcely dare 10
speak from the same stand. Allen. be it remem-
bered, went about the State during the darkest
and exc nerang fe6ers 4f6AinRpGiPGa nj lie P8r rH6e
war. He was staunch supporter of the Vallan-
tfigham, and went to the NEST extreme point in
his efforts to arouse Democrats in opposition TO
Government and the war. Burns, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor. served
three months in the American army, and oppos
ell the election os ValIandgham. Allen will, of
course, be under the necessity of standing by
his war record, and Bnrnes cannot we'll go back
on his record, during the war. Allen to be con-
sisleut, must defend and justify the rebels, aud
Burns must denounce the rebels as traitors
characterizing Allen, and all Democrats who
sided with during the war as rebel sympathiz-
ers. Alien must denDunce Burns as an abOii-
Zionist, RESPONSE BILE fer the war, and Burns must
call Allen traitor to his country aud defender
of rebels. 1t will scarcely do for them to go
npon the stump in the same part of the State.
Allen may talk to the Democracy Of Southern
Ohio, and Burns to those of the Western Re-
serve. Certainly it will not answer for them tI
meet and speak from the same platfUrm.-Bl Blade.

Democratic County Convention.

The undersigned and few others of the
Democracy of Wood county, met in Leafs
Hall on Saturday last to go through the
form of nominating candidates for County
officers, and also candidate for the Gen
eral Assembly.
DR.. BELL, of Weston, presided on the
occasion with his usual grace, the large
Hall being illuminated with the light of
his rubicund countenanGe. Having called
the meeting to order, circle was at once
formed, and after d. d. BATES, Esq, was
selected to record the proceedings, the
spiritual manifestations were realized, in
which a lirst-class medium, ]. II. TYLER,
Esq, held inter-commune Ga la French style)
with the invisible agent, and thus enrap.
tured the audience by his words of wisdom.
The spirits declared that wise men came
now, as OF old, from tine East, and that the
Republicans having gone as far East as the
limits of the law governing counties
would admit of, to select a candidate for
the General Assembly, therefore they, the
Democrats of Wood county, in Conven-
tion assembled, declared it to be their
bounden duty to select their candidate
from the same quarter, so that this happy
land may be doubly blessed. Whereupon,
NATHAN HATFIELD, of Perry township,
was declared the nominee for Representa-
tive by unanimous vote.
Then a hasty "departurc" " was taken
from the esprit land" and THOMAS BUR
SON, the Prohibition candidate for County
Commissioner, was nominated by unani-
NOUS acclamation for Commissioner on
the Democratic ticket-a Democratic
double summersault.
The undersigned is the full list of victims
for the Fall campaign of 1873:
resentative-NATHAN HATFIELD.
mmissioner-THoMAs BURsoN.
REcoRpER-MYRoN LEGALLY.
Prosecuting Attorney-J JAsHER PILLARS.
Infrmary Director-JoHN WEAVER.
Coroner-J. S. CARMAN.
All of whom will be LEGALLY elected
to look after their little Oranges and
patients at their respective homes.
After the candidates were nominated |
there being no further business, DIR. BELL
pronunoed the Benediction and the whole
assembly departed in peace to reassem-
bic in the saloons and treat the good reso-
tions, of which they din't have.
p. s. AS we are unacquainted, per-
sonally, with most of the candidates nom
mated, we shall be pleased at an early day
as possible to be informed if any of them
has been guilty of stealing horses, robbing
hen-roosts, or any other serious INSIDE
meanors.

A Sad Calamity.

Another very sad calamity has befallcn
the travelling public by the sinking of the
propeller Tronsides, off Grand Haven on
Lake Michigan, on Monday last, in which
some twenty or more persons have met
watcry grave,
In this instance the calamity touches
the family relations of some OF our citizens,
whose anticipatons Of friendly visit
from sister and her dear little boy, are
now hushed by the voice of deaths The
lady, Mrs. III. A. VALENTINE, Of Milwau-
kee, whose body is reported to have been
recovered and tho dear little boy, her
son of five years old, who is reported with
his blue eyes and naxen hair as II he had
swectly fallen asleep, were on their way TO
visit their relatives, Mr. & Mrs. HBxRY
IIoLLENBEcK, of this place, the lady's
husband being Mrs. HoILENBEcK's brother
Thus by the ruthless hand of death, has
this joyfully anticipating household been
turned into house Of mourning.
1t appears that the vessel left Milwaukee
on Sunday night with nineteen passengers,
and thirty-two seaman, having very large
cargo of freight for the East. Although
the passage had been very stormy, the
vessel had proceeded on its voyage within
nine miles Of Grand Haven, the point Of
its destruction, but was unable to enter the
harbor on account of the high sea. She
then tackled about and is supposd to have
sprung leak by which her fires were ex-
tinguished, and she was discovered to be
fast sinking. 1t seems that ample provision
hal been made in the way of life preserv-
ers and life boats for the safety of the
passengers and crew, all or most of whom
had left the ship before she sank, bnt 30
terrible was the sea, that although large
numbers OF persons wore on the shore
watching the ill-fated vessel and its doom
ed passengers floating on the surface OF
the waters, no assistance could be rendered
them. Many of them reached the shore,
but up to the present time, eighteen bodies
have been recovered.
The question arises whether this fearful
loss has not occurred simply, from the
cupidity of the owners of the vessel, load
ing her with freight beyond her capacity,
80 that she was unable to endure the strain
of her cargo and the pressure of the storm
1t is to be hoped that a searching enquiry
may be made in this matter.

Cheating at Vienna.

From the New York Times
The composition of the juries gave rise
to some scandalous acts on our part. In
the Machinery Department agricultural
implements came under Group XIII.
The rivalry between the different ma
chimes in this section is only equaled by
that between the sewing machines. Of
course no man interested in one machine,
in any way, shape or fashion, should be
upon the jury; yet all sorts Of intrigues
were used to get interested parties upon
it. These succeeded protests followed;
new men were put in; and as they, too,
were interested, the process had to be
repeated by the other side. In one Of
the juries it was suddenly discovered
that member was directly interested in
one of the articles coming within the
group He was asked to resign, and re-
fused to do so at first " do not know
how the matter appears to your con
science, sir, said NJ. du Bort, but with
me it would be question of honor" AS
the gentleman began to buster, the
polite Frenchman turned upon his heel
with disgust and used palmer language:
I" If l were in your place, sir, he added,
my personal honor would make me re-
sign; but as you seem to think other
wise, / think that you should not he
allowed to sit upon this jury. The gen
tleman finally withdrew.
