For Congress. 9TH District.
DR.. THOS. W. GORDON,
Of Brown County.
Republican County Ticket.
Resolutions Of the 7ih District
Republican Convention.

l. Resolved, That the times demand
above all things, honesty, integrity and the
strictest economy, in the administration of
public affairs, and that the people should
elect no man TO Office whose record in these
respects is not free from suspicion or re-
proach.
p. That the course of the present Rep
resentative of this Congressional District,
Hon. L. I. Neal, in accepting the increased
pay under the iniquitous law known as the
''Salary Grab, for nine months before tax
ing his seat in Congress, merits the severest
censure of his constituents, and should
unite honest men of all parties in opposing
his reelection.
3. That it is the sense of this Conven-
ton that the Congress of the United States
should grant a warrant for 16O acres of land
without requiring a residence thereon, to
every Union soldier who served in the war
of 1S61-'65, and who was honorably dis
charged from said service.
4. That we recognize the farming and
laboring class of this country as the bone
and sinew of the nation, and that every at
tempt to remove taxation from chattels to
realty, from capital tolabor, is an outrage
upon the people and a disgrace to our coun-

Cause and Effect.

Undoubtedly the accidental Dem
ocratic victory in Ohio last fall, and
their partial successes in other Nor
thern States since that time, have en-
couraged the ex-rebels tobelieve that
their old allies in the North were
coming into power again, and this
has probably had more to do with the
recent outrages and with the Louisi-
ma rebellion, than the alleged dissat-
isfaction with the Civil Rights bill.
If these slight Democratic victories
in the North. have thus revived the
dormant spirit of rebellion, what
would be the consequence if Ohio and
other Northern States should be car
ried by the Democracy this fall? The
experiment might prove a costly one
to the country, and it is evident that
the loyal people of Maine and Yer
mont have no desire to try it, if we
may judge from the old fashioned Re
publican majorities with which they
have just opened the fall campaign.
"As goes Maine SO goes the Union ~
Let the Republicans of Ohio, Indi-
ana and other Northern States fall
into line and 'send greeting" to the
country that they still stand by the
old Republican banner, and the reviv-
ing hopes of the still defiant rebels
will be nipped in the bud, and peace
be restored to the now suffering and
distracted South.

Republican County Ticket.

The nominees of the Republican
County Convention last Saturday are
both excellent men for the respective
offices. For the responsible and i'm
portant position of Commissioner
an officer who has more control over
the county expenditures than any
other-no better man could have been
selected than James Brown, of Clay
tp. He is a good business man, of
sterling integrity, of general infor-
nation, sound Judgment, and suff-
cient firmness not to be swerved from
the line of duty by any considera-
tons. He is also a strictly moral al d
temperate man, and one of the mo
prosperous and enterprising farmers
in the southern part of the county.
The people of Highland will secure
faithful and capable Commissioner
by giving him their votes on the Sec
ond Tuesday of October.
Mr.. Buffers, the present efficient
and faithful Directorof the Infrmary,
was renominated for that Office, and
should be reelected. All who know
anything of the zeal and care with
which he has attended to the duties
of his Office unite in commencing
him as 'the right man in the right
place"
Although the county ticket is small
this year, we hope the Republicans of
Highland will not forget that we have
an important State ticket in the field,
as well as a candidate for Congress.
Ohio must not this year repeat the
blunder of electing a Democrat to a
State Office, by the neglect of Repub-
licans to go to the polls. Let every
true Republican of Highland resolve
to do HIS duty, and work and vote for
the success of the whole Republican
ticket.

AN NANTEDnUvIAS.-The Ripley In
dependent says:-"While in the city
last week we struck up an acquaint-
ance with an antediluvian, we should
Judge from appearance. His name
is Daniel Ockerman. He told US
how Maysville and Aberdeen looked
in 1897. He says Maysville bore
the name of Limestone when lie first
came there.
He spoke of having horse race
in Aberdeen when there was but one
little grocery, which furnished gro
ceries and whisky for the very small
settlement around it.
'.He says on one occasion he rode
with cow-hide in hand through q
house, in at one door and out at an
other in full gallop, after another
man who charged him with unfair
dealings in q horse race. He says
he hauled salt from Ripley to New
Market and Hillsboro, when they
were rizsls, but he had not seen
either of them for fifty years-he
had heard that Hillsboro was as big
as two of New Market now. His
preiudices were always in favor of
n. NJ. The Inn keeper furnished
better whisky, and he would have
liked to have heard of its going up.
MIR. Ockerman suspects the r. r.
had something to do with Hiilsboros
crovth-we seconded the motion

spry, and with basket on his arm,
was on his way up to market

The Prohibitionists of Cincinnati,
through their Committee appointed
at a mass Convention, have issued a
cicular to their brethren in the State
at large, saying in substance that
they believe the Temperance plank
in the State Republican platform has
removed the only ground of differ
ence between the Republican party
and the Prohibitionists; and they
accordingly suggest that no indie
pendent nominations be made, but
that the Prohibitionists throughout
the State should support the Repub-
lican ticket. The Enquirer, seeing
in this a consequent ausmenting of
the strength of the Republicans,
gently reminds the Prohibitionists
of Hamilton county that the Pro
hibition party met last winter and
placed in nomination a full State
ticket. 'It is composed" says the
Enquirer, "of good men and should
be supported by people who sincere
ly believe in the doctrine of prohibi-
ton" How beautiful and altogether
unselfsh this solicitude for the Pro
hibition ticket and those "who sin
cerely believe in the doctrine of pro
hibition!"

The New Rebellion.

The old rebel spirit of the South.
which has been manifesting itself fol
some time past, in the murder of ne
groes and white Republicans in Ten.
nessee, Louisiana, Texas and Alaba
ma, eliminated in New Orleans last
week, in an armed rebellion against
the Republican State Government of
Louisiana, led on by the Democratic
"White League" secret, armed or
ganization, similar to the Ku-Klux,
the object of which is to establish "a
White Mans Government in the
South-that is, to restore the exreb-
els to power, by establishing a reign
of terror over the poor negroes and
the white Republicans. The particu
lars are given in t;rss diepstches in
another part of our paper.
It will be seen that the White Lea
guers, after numbering number of
Gov. Kellogg's police, temporarily
succeeded in overthrowng his au-
thority and taking possession of the
State offices. Their bloody triumph,
however, was of short duration. For
tunately for the county, man of a
different mould from JaQes Buchan-
an occupies the Presidential chair
a man who has put down rebellion
before, and who rebels know is not
to be trifed with. With the rapidity
of the lightning his proclamation
flashed over the wires, commanding
the Leaguers to disperse within five
days, and ordering the q. S. troops
to reinstate Gov. Kellogg in his Office
and protect him in the discharge of
his duties. The rebellion collapsed
at once, and the Leaguers surrender
ed the authority they had usurped by
violence and bloodshed All honor
to the President for his prompt and
decided action. The nation owes him
a new debt of gratitude.
Now that order is restored we hope |
will be taken to give the
people of Louisiana, white and color
ed, a fair and free election for State
and test the question wheth-
er the so-called "White Mans party"
has the majority which they claim,
but which the Republicans deny, and
we think with reason, as there is an
undoubted majority of Glored voters
in the State. The latest dispatches
state that efforts are being made to
this end, which we hope will be sue
cessful. Meantime the U. S. troops,
of which nearly 2000 are now in the
city, backed by three gunboats in the
river, will preserve order and main
tain the lawful State Government.

"COnSiS

The Gazette charges us with in
consistency because we spoke ap
provingly of Hon. John O. Smith,
Congressional record. It says Mr..
Smith not only drew his 'front pay,
the same as Neal, but also drew pay
for two months as a member of the
Legislature, while drawing his pay
as a member of Congress at the
same time. If Mr.. Smith really did
as the Gazette charges, the fact is
greatly to his discredit, and ought to
have prevented his denomination, in
spite of his otherwise good record.
We are no apologist for ''salary grab
bing," either in Republicans or Dem
ocrats, and we will never knowingly
support any man for Office who is
tainted with corruption in any form.
But we are not in Mr.. Smiths Dis
trict, and are not supporting him for
Congress. The Gazette, on the con-
trsry, which denounced the Hon.
John A. Smith, our former Congress
man, without measure, for taking his
shack pay" under the "salary grab,
(although in fact he never did take
it) is now supporting Neal, who took
his increased 'Jore pay" under the
same iniquitous law for nine months
before taking his seat in Congressl
Is the editor of the Gazette, who
charges us with Inconsistency" able
to see any consistency in his own
course, in supporting Neal for doing
the same (or rather worse)
that he denounced Mr.. Smith for do
ing? "First pluck out the beam
which is in thine own eye," brother
Springer, ''then shalt thou see clearly
to pluck out the mote which is in
thy brothers eye"

We would PROFOUND the Ne'cs
this conundrum Which would it
condemn the most, the fellah that
took his pay as member of Congress
under law enacted by Republican
Congress, or the fellah who received
a pension under a law wisely pro
viding for the disability of our woun-
ded soldiers, after nature had step
ped in and kindly cured said disabili-
ty? Which and wherefore p Ga
zette of last week.
OF course we would condemn the
"fellah" who took his increased pay,
under law which his own party de
nounced as Infamous, and took it
moreover before he had rendered a
days service in return, more than we
would the ''fellah' who drew a pen
sion from the Government for a
wound received in defense of his
country, even if he did draw the
pension after the disability was re-
moved. The first 'fellah" is Neal of
course, and we suppose the Gazette
intends to iusinuate that the latter
is DR.. Gordon, Meals Republican
opponent, who did receive rebel
]
bullet during the war, for he was in
the field fighting rebels while Neal
was at home sympathizing with them,
if all reports are true. But we don't
believe that DR.. Gordon ever contin-
ued to draw apension Gf he drew one
at alD after his disability was entire
" cnred. Dare the Gazette openly
charge that he did 50, instead OF
sneakingly inSinuGting to that
effect?

OUTsPoKEN.-Here is what the Gin
cinnati V0lkS6ldtt, the German or
gan of free whisky and Sabbath
breaking, has to say of the Temper
ance plank of the Republican plat
form:
The fact remains that the Repub-
lican party of Ohio has openly and
unreservedly taken a stand upon a
Temperance platform. As false and
worthy Of condemnation in principle
as this position is, we must, never
theless, give the Convention credit
that it has at least the courage TO
give expression to its true opinion.
We now know-at least how to deal
with the Republican party. The
Democratic party did not dare to
show its colors. But we must say
of the Republican party that it does
not hide its thoughts, hut openly
gives expression to them"

How TO Punish 'SalaryI
GrnhbcrSss

Salary -grabbers, who seize the
machinery of party to secure its
nominations, ought to be punished
by the voters of that party at the
polls Dayton Herald and EN-
pire.
This was said by the Democratic
organ of Montgomery county, and
refers to three candidates on the
Democratic ticket in that county
whom it refuses to support, on the
ground that they have been charg-
ing illegal fees as county officers. We
admire the honesty and independ-
ence of the editor, and hope he will
be sustained by the people, and the
obnoxious candidates defeated.
1t is good sign of the times, that
even Democrats are getting over
their proverbiai habit of sticking to
the party" aud voting "the ticket,
no matter how Objectionable the
candidate may be. They are begin
ming to exercise the right Of thinking
for themselves, and Scratching any
candidate whose record is bad or
suspicious.
There is a frst-rate opportunity
for honest Democrats to do a little
wholesome scratching" this fall
The Democratic candidate for Con
gress is well known to be "salary
grabber" who drew nine months pay
under the increased salary bill before
taking his seat in Congress, for which
act the very Convention which NOM
mated him came within three votes
of passing a severe vote of censure.
Every Democrat who is opposed to
''salary grabbing, ought to scratch"
Neal from his ticket this fall.

The Chil1icothe advertiser of last
week says:
"The Chicago Inter Ocean, of
Thursday last, contained the an
nouncement that the fifteen million
dollar loan had been secured in Eu-
rope for building the Ohio & Michi-
gan Rail Road This is cheering
news to the people of the Scioto Val
ley, and secures the building of the
road from Grand Haven to Ports
mouth beyond the possibility of
doubt.
"Now let the NJ. & G. shops be
built. Let the o. & NJ. be secured,
and Ross county viii receive an i'm
petus that will place her among the
foremost counties of the State"
If the above announcement is
true, it is the best news for Southern

of publishing for long time. We
shall wait anxiously to see if it is
confirmed from other sources.
