~ opposed to wine-drinking, could
only spring from delusion in regard
to the real nature of their own habits.
The sensitiveness of these people on
this subject, however, shows that thew
suspect the delusion of which thew are
the victims. They claim to be on the
side OF temperance. They deprecate
drunkenness, and really don't see what
is to be done about it. They wish that
men would be more rational in their
enjoyment of the good things of this
world, etc etc. :; but their eyes seem
blinded to the fact that they stand in
the way of all reform. The horrible
drunkenness of the larger cities of
Great Britain, with which no hell that
America holds can compare for mo-
ment, can never be reformed until the
drinking habits Of the English clergy
and the English gentry are reformed.
With eleven-twelfths of the British
clergy wine-drinkers, and water-drink-
ers tabooed in society, and social
drinking the fashion in all the high life
of the realm, the workman will stand
by his gin, brutality will reign in it's
own chosen centers undistnrbetl, and
those centcrs will increasingly become
what, to frightfnl extent, they already
are-festering sores upon the body
social, and stenches in the nostrils of
the world.
The habits, neither of Great Britain
nor America, will be improved until
men of influence in every walk of life
are willing to dispense with their drink
ing customs. Hundreds of thousands
Of English-speaking men 60 to drunk

nothing in sanitary consideration as
as they relate to the modertea
drinkcr, and surely nothing in the
pleasures of the moderate drinker, to
mitigate this curse. It is all delusion.

Democratic Struggle for onice.

The present political campaign will
pass into history as an unparalleled Illus
tration OF Democratic greed for Office.
The numerous candidates in strong Dem
ecratic districts and their obstinacy ~
elinging to every advantage in the strug-
gle to obtain the nomination where the
election and calling is sure" will
srve to illustrate.
In the l2th Congressional district, COM
prising Franklin, Fairfield, Pickaway,
aud Perry counties, there were six can
didates-GKo. L. CONVERSE, JOHN G..
THOMPSON, Gen. Tom. EWING, Gen. N.
ScHLEGH, A. Il. WALLING and WIN. E.
FISCk. The balleting ON these candi-
aates commenced on Friday, Aug. 2s,
early in the afternoon and continued un-
til late at night; through Saturday
until p. NJ through Monday and until
10 T. M.-being resumed ON Tuesday
morning, and resulting in the nomination
OF A. L. WALLING on the 529th ballot.
Ecferring to 1t the Lancaster Gazette says
1t was "protrated beyond all precedent,
but the drunk which accompanied and
followed it viii doubtless be still more
protracted."
After l54 ballots, the Democratic Con.
vention In the Ninth Dstrle. took up a
new man, L f. PoPPLEToN, ofD. laware,
and nominated him by acclamation.
The Democratic Convention of the
Fifth District, h.ld at Lima last week,
had a sesi6f' Of tniHy.oiie consecutive
hours, and there was "seene of turbu.
lence and disorder seldom witnessed in de-
lberate bodies" to quote from Demo
cratic paper in the distalct. Gen. A. V.
Rice, OF Ottawa, was the successful can
tlidate, and Is probably the best selection
that coula have been made out of the ma.
tCrill botoEe.thc Convention.
1t will be remembered that the Demo
orats of the l4th District had a two DAYS
session and nominated on the 250th bal
lot in the f1repart of July.
FRANK HURD is about the only candl.
date so faHrtlmt has received nomination
on the hFst ballot. There were not many
on the anxious scat--except Mr.. HuRp =
who we're willing te take the chances OF
q campaign against Hon. 4, NJ. PRATT.

As will be seen by the above figures,
there is but little change in the sentiment
of the people now and twenty-three
years ago upon the question of selling
liquor under the license system.
There arc many peculiar features in the
campaign and the results of the last Con-
stitutional election. Among these we
might mention the action of Gen. Tom.
EWING, q member OF the Catholic faith.
who made some very able speeches in fa-
vor of the adoption of the new instrument,
and then witnessed the members of the
same faith vote against it under instruc-
tions from the Bishop OF that Church.
Then again there are those who condemn
the numbers of the Convention for the in
sertion of the license clause; those who
condemn them for their failure O insert n
prohibition clause, and those who condemn
them for not leaving it as in the present
Constitution. When the members of the
Convention we're elected the question of
temperance was not an issue. After elected
strong petitions were presented from both
sides for action to be taken, and had they
refused to recognize the right of petition
they would have received stronger con-
d mnation than they did by submitting
the question to the people. Let us be just
before generous in this respect

from Detroit, Cleveland, Toledo, and sew

The Gazette makes this allusio to the
company from Cleveland
"The Cleveland Greys sustain n time-hon-

The Cincinnati Enquirer must entertain
poor opinion of the judgment Of its
readers when it advances the idea that
the license clause was defeated because
there was not full vote out. The main
support of that measure comes from
cities where they always get out to vote.
The country districts are yet to hear
from on that question, and if they have
occasion to speak fully 10000 or 10000
will be recorded agair st license.

Semi-Annual Meeting of the Maumee
Prcsbytery.

correspon lent Of the Toledo Commercial
furnishes the subjoined synopsis Of the proceed
ings of the Maumee Presbytery which assem-
bed at Tonngany on Tuesday evening
The Presbytery Of Maumee met in his pIace
last evening according to adiiurnn ent. The
opening sermon was preached nv Rev. J. B q.
Hubbard, of Bowling Green, from Psalm 50,
verse 2: Out Of Zion the perfection Of beua-
ty God hath shined. Z"
The discourse was devoted to putting for
ward the beauty Of the Church, which was
set firth with a wealth Of imag gery and variety
Of illustration which showed great familiarity
with the subject.
wEDSEsDAY's SESSION.
This morning the Presbytery me; and pro-
ceeded to the transaction of business. The fr ct
item that called forth any discussion was the
request Of Rev. W. J. Trimbe to be released
from the charge Of the Church at Weston
That sChurch was very 10th to give him up
Much sympathy was expressed FOE them, for
Brother Trimble is much beloved aud has
been very usefHl. But il was felt that he
eOuld be more useful, however, by being trans
ferred to the Fifth Ward Of Toledo, and ac-
cordingly the reques! of Brother +. was
granted.
Toledo is to be congratulated upon this re-
snt, and the people Of Weston are so enter
prising and energetic that they will soon be
all right again.
THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION.
Generally this Committee of the Presbytery
have little to do, but just now they are hav-
ing busy time complaint against Rev. II.
II. Bulge, a complaint OF William McElwee,
and a complaint against the action of the ses-
sion Of the Westminster Church, was put in
this Committees hauds, and they seem TO thiak
their hands are full.
In the first case the Committee have already
reported that Rev. II. II. Bulge is beyond its
jurisdiction, not being now a member uf our
Body. But they recommended that the state
nents made in the papers be brought to
the notice of the Presbytery of which he
is member. When the other matters are
disposed of you shall hear the result.
The Presbytery welcomes back at this meet
ing two Of its veterans, Rev. d. 3. Anderson,
formerly Of Bryan, and Rev. Charles Richards
formerly OF haumee City. Though showing
some marks oi age as wusld be expected. IL Is
pleasure to see them once more among us
The attendance OF ministers was unusually
good for this time Of the year, but the elders
do not muster in great force. Perhaps they
will do better next Spring when We are to
meet at Bowling GIeeu. WASDERER.
