The Temperance Issue.

As we have said heretofore, we
again repeat-the only question of
State policy before the people of
Ohio, this fall, is that of temperance.
To make plain this important issue,
we annex the planks of the two par
ties on this subject, to-wit;
We favor the submission to the peo-
pie by the General Assembly, of an
amendment to the constitution au-
thorizing the passage of license
law.-Democratic State Platform.
That the restraint of intemperance
and its causes to the full extent of
the legislative, judicial and police
powers of the State, and the forfeit
ure of public trust for intoxication
are demanded by the moral and ma
terial welfare of society and the
State.-Republican State Platform.
We are not alone in understanding
this to be the great and controlling
question of the campaign. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer, the leading demo
cratic organ in the State, takes the
same view of it. Here is what ii
says:
After the resolution by the Repub-
lican Convention, and the ratification
of it by the Temperance Crusaders,
the vote in Ohio this fall will be divi.
ded between the friends and the op-
ponents of a prohibitory liquor law,
the Republican ticket representing
the first and the Democratic the
second alternative.
Thus, as the Enquirer further re-
marks, ''we come down to the hard
pan" Every mans vote will have
its influence one way or the other;
either for temperance, or lawful in
temperance; for license, or against Ii
cense. Shall Gallia county go back
on its vote of the 18th of August
We hope not.

The Fair.

The Premium List of our coming
Fair may be found on the fourth
page. This is its last publication,
and those proposing to compete for
premiums should preserve it for
reference. We hope to see the
best display of the products of our
county that has ever been exhibited.
In this connection, the following
from the New England Farmer is
worthy of attention:
Do not let this month pass without
attending some of the many agricul
tural exhibitions, or farmers festi
vals, and You will find that the more
you do towards making these fairs
success, the more benefit they will be
to you. just to go to fair for day,
and to take a hasty or careless turn
around the grounds and look at every
thing for the sake of gratifying
sort of sightseeing curiosity, does
not amount to much in the way of
making you a better farmer or bet
ter man.
But join the society and take
whatever part is assigned you of the
hard work connected with it; con-
slider it not the society but our socie
ty, and you will find yourself bene-
fitted by becoming a member and at
tending the exhibitions. The good
accomplished by these fairs is mostly
indirect The premiums are of lit
tie account-they are needed per-
haps as stimulus, but do not join a
society. or exhibit at the fairs with
the expectation of making money by
it. If you are breeding stock for
sale, the fair may afford cheap
medium of advertising, but our agri
cultural fairs should be something
more than mere shows or market
places. The object of those who
originated them was to educate the
farmers, and this object should ever
be kept in view. So when we attend
our fairs, this fall, let us go with the
purpose to make the most of them,
to ourselves, our families, and the
public. Let us not find fault with
the management, unless we are will
ling to work for a better system of
management; criticise freely, but re-
solve to make these festivals better
and more valuable by yonr criticisms.
Take your stock and farm produc-
tions along with you, help arrange
them, and see that the stock is well
cared for while on the grounds.
Take also as many of the family as
can be spared from home, and espe-
cially see to it that the fair is place
worthy of being taken to. Use your
best influence to keep everything Of
an immoral or doubtful tendency
from the grounds. If gambling and
lottery schemes, in their thousand
forms, are disreputable and debasing
in city dens and by-ways, they are
even more so in the open sunlight,
and under the influence and protec-
ton of our agricultural societies.
Do not be found finding fault with
the management, or with the moral
OF educational tendencies of fairs,
unless you do your best to make
them both better.

EDITOR JoURNAL:--I see your CORES
pondents from different parts of the
county, give us the news. Times up
here are lively in some respects, if 1t is
hot and dry.
Crops are about made for this season !;
wheat was good crop and harvested in
good order, but much of it was damaged
in stack during the wet weather in July.
Oats nearly nothing; hay very light;
corn is coming out hardly an average; !;
potatoes in Kyger bottm are, say 10 per
cent. less in acres planted, and from
present information, 20 per cent. less In
bushels to the acre. The range Will be
all the way from 30 to 200 bushels per
acre.
Farmers have been obliged TO lay up
the plow until it rains; if favorable,
there will be large crop sown.
The Farmers and Mechanics Club is
still meeting regularly every two weeks,
and well attended. The discussion last
Saturday night was,
Resolced. That fences for farming pur-
noses are an enormous unnecessary ex-
pense, and should be dispensed with.
MANY facts and figures were brought to
bear against the custom while others
contended it was the best as tits.
Our Grange brethren are working like
beavers, and am informed are slightly
on the increase. Goods at 10 per cent.
have about lost their charm, and people
must find other and better inducements
ere they all become Changers. We heard
of one man hurrahing for the Grangers,
and wheat ninety cts. bushel. 1t
sounded well enough had he left OFF the
ninety cents for wheat.
Just now the center of attraction is at
our tOwn-hOuse. 1t was announced that
there would be picnic and dance there
Saturday, and there was quite an out
pouring, and from information there
were about 200. Just how they got ac-
cess to the house we are not informed.
With thirty-twO on the floor at once,
and a game of baseball at same time,
and the Democratic primary election
coming in on the last heat, must have
been grand. Wonder if the democrats
won't claim it as an out-pouring of the
people to sustain their principles? Spec
so. 1t is said good order prevailed,
though N. Phillips had one finger broke,
while J. r. Rife had one of his badly
stove up during the game of ball.
| We know of number of taxpayers
who have objected to the manner in
which the town-house has been used,
and now, we say, let it be closed to ev,
erything-only open for the purpose;
for which it was built. BLK.

Democratic Testimony.

At the soldiers reunion, held al
Washington &. H., recently, Gov. AL
len made speech, in the course Of
which he said:
''The Democrats came into power
last January after our political op-
ponents had held control Of the State
of Ohio for nearly twenty years, but
we couldn't find, after the most care
ful examination, single case of off
cial corruption.
Thus, with honesty and temper
ance inscribed on her banner,
the Republican party can well afford
to appeal to the people of Ohio for
endorsement.

The Convention and its Nomi-

The Convention and its NOmi-
nees.
The Republican Convention, Sat
urday, was live body of representa-
tive men. Every township sent up
its delegates, all good and true men.
The people were likewise present,
watching with old-time interest the
work of their representatives. The
Convention placed itself squarely on
the State platform, and, so far as the
temperance plank is concerned, en-
dorsed it in letter and in spirit. In
this regard its action was not only
right and proper in and of itself, but
it was what was to be expected of the
Republican party of Gallia county,
1t has always been a party of pro-
gress, ready to grapple with every
new issue that is presented. Its
principles and constitution, as Sena-
tor MORTON well expresses it, put it
naturally upon the side of temper
ance as against intemperance, of free
dom as against slavery, of the peo-
pie as against monopoly, of labor,
free schools, intellectual and moral
progress. The work of reform is its
normal and necessary condition.
With such a history, we say again,
the party could not do otherwise than
it did, accept of the temperance
plank in all its length and breadth.
NOMINEES.
For Clerk the choice of the Con-
vention fell upon Capt. w. H. H.
SIssoN. The Captain was born in
this county, his father, Mr..
STEPHEN SIssoN, being a pioneer in
Gallia county civilization. During
the war he was true and brave SOL
dier, serving in the 4th West Virginia
Infantry. Since the war he has
studied law, and been admitted to
practice. He has the qualifications,
and will make a good Clerk.
Mr.. L. M. BEMAN, of Centerville,
received the nomination for Commits
sioner. He is among our best and
most prudent business men, and will
bring to the discharge of the duties
of Commissioner talent of no ordi
nary character. Long resident of
the county, and close, intelligent
observer of passing events, he un-
derstands clearly the responsibilities
and requirements of the position.
He will make good officer.
For Intirmary Director the Con-
vention selected ALEXANDER LoGUE,
Esq. His record in the past, as
Sheriff, Representative and Probate
Judge, is sufficient guarantee of
what may be expected of him in this
new position. He has always been
found faithful and honest, in what
ever official position placed, and his
integrity to-day is as bright as ever in
the past. The people have faith in
such men, and the Convention did a
wise act in naming him for Infrmary
Director.
Major HENRY GRAYUM was nomi-
mated for Surveyor. Though last, by
no means least. He is one of the
true men of the county. In what
ever position placed, always faithful
and honest. Either as soldier, citi.
zen or public officer, he is ever
found true to principle and duty.
In placing his name upon the Repub-
ican ticket, the Convention honored
a good man, and gave character to
the party.
This is the ticket. 1t is good rom
top to bottom. With great princi-
pies of reform at stake, and with
candidates of ability and character to
work for, the Republican party of
Gallia county can appeal to the peo-
pie for endorsement with perfect con
fdence of success.
