GEN. CARY ASA DEMAGoGUE.

In his speech at the Court House, Gen.
Cary drew a sad picture of the wretched
condition OF the iaboring men of Jack
son, and tried to prove to them that they
are getting poorer and poorer all the
time, and that, unless they put the Dem
ocrats in power they would inevitably
starve. This was amusing, and we saw
many of the men smiling at the time
they could not help remembering fifteen
years back, under the last Democratic
admins tration, when the furnaces were
breaking up, and men were thrown out
pear TO be danger of starvation. Then it
was that the Democratic officers loaned
to each other the public money, and with
it engaged in banking and operating
thousand dollars of the money paid as
taxes by the people.
Now, although the furnaces are haro
pushed, yet they are able to pay theil
hands SO literally, under Republican ad
ministration, that all sober, industriou
men, can soon procurehomes oftheir own
We published in our daily the sums paic
into the treasures Of the two loan asso
Citations, which amounted to the hand
some sum of fortyeiga thousand nine h'r
dred and segenty seve's dollars and fire cents
Nearly all this sum has been paid in b
laboring men within the past two year;
and has been expended in building then
neat and comfortable houses.
Cary cannot gull the laboring men c
them.

years they will command from four to
five hundred dollars per acre.
Laboring men who desire to obtain
homes in beautiful valley, whore labor
will always be in demand. viii do well to
direct their attention TO this magnificent
chance, while lois are cheap. and can be
purchased on time at low interest
The. attention OF capitalists is now
being directed to this rich field OF coal
and ore, and i'll a few years this valley
will be covered all over with furnaces,
and other manufacturing establishments
and happy homes

Three of our prominent colored cltl-
zens, Cabe johnson. Lee Moore and Jonn
Robinson attended the Emancipation
Celebration in jackson on Tuesday They
report most enjoyable time snd are
loud in their praises OF the people OF
Jackson, who all seemed to take great
deal OF interest in the proceedings and
were very kind in rendering their assist
ance to have things pass off pleasantly.
/ Messrs John Robinson, Hon. Il. c.

Stansberry We're the speakers OF the oc-
casion. In the evening, at a festival,
John Robinson was one of a Committee
| appointed to give premiums to the pret-
tiest baby, the handsomest woman and
the ugliest man. The babys name has
been forgotten by our informant. Mrs.
| Pettiford was pronounced the best look
ing lady, and, as in duty bound to sus-
tain the reputation of our city, the Iron
ton delegation brought back the first
premium for the ugliest man, Gabe J John-
son carrying of the honors with applause
Bro Mackley, of the STANDARD, was q
dangerous competitor and took the sec
0nd premium The boys. along with 8
number of colored men of Portsmouth
stopped at the Isham House, where they
received such good treatment that they
are loud in their praises OF its clerk ano
proprietor, and where Gen. Cary and Col
Vance had the honor of sitting down Il

guished colored men in Southern Ohio

Some two weeks ago the Grangers had
a meeting in Gallia county, at which Col.
Vance and Mr.. Bundy made speeches.
The Hooking Sentinel thus speaks of Mr..
Bundy's speech:
Mr. Bundys speech was cautious and
upon all the leading subjects of the gran
ger grievance, viz: Tariff Land Grants
to Railroads, Iron Monopolies, National
Bank Swindles, ne was carefully non-com-
initial. He favored the feature giving
women a prominent position in the or
eanization, and concluded by declaring 9
unequivocally in favor of woman rights"
to the extent of giving woman the right
to vote.
That is the right kind of talk We
were not aware that Mr.. Bundy had come
so fully up to our ideal of true states
man. We believe we will now vote fol
him for member of Congress.

WELLsTON.

In calling attention to the coal fields of
Wellston, l wish also to call attention of
capitalists and laboring men to the im-
mense ore beds recently discovered in
this vicinity. They cannot be overesti-
mated. They beat anything yet discov-
cred in the county. An old furnace
manager said on visiting the recently
opened ore banks on the Austin farm,
that he had never seen such beds of ore,
and these these, too, occupying the sur
face over the vast regions of smelling
coal beneath.
There is no such opening in Ohio for
capitalist and laboring men as Is now
offered in this valley.
Lots in Wellston and additions thereto
can be purchased cheap, on monthly, OF
yearly payments. Building material can
be obtained at very reasonable figures
There is a steam saw mill on the grounds
constantly employed in furnishing mate
rial for building, and the advantages af
forded by the railroad make it an easy
matter to obtain building material oi
every variety.
This valley will undoubtedly be the
most extensive mining and manufactur
ing district in Southern Ohio, as the
coal extends from four to five miles or
the Portsmouth Branch of the Marrietts
l. Cincinnati railroad, and indefinitely
east and west.
The Perry county lands. where the
coal is not so uniform in quantity or al
good in quality as the coal in this valley
sell at from two to four hundred dollar
per acre (not iron making coal either)
WHY the lands in this Wellston vale.
are still rated at such low figures is no
to be accounted for on any other principl
than that their value has not been esti
mated, from the fact that attention ha
not been directed to them, only for
{ few months.
This is the most beautiful valley o
lands in this part of Ohio, and in teV

GENTLEMEN Where's divers accusa-

of which said accusations are false in

Out of total majority of 1886 votes
against license at the recent Constitu-
tional election. 4,O04 votes-or more than
one-half of the entire majority in the

posed of the counties of Scioto, jackson,
Lawrence, Gallia, Vinton and Hooking.
We cut the above from one of our ex-

D. Mackley-My OLd-tme Friend:
! saw an article nearly a year ago in
the STANDARD, written by you, charging
me with being copperhead Democrat,
on statement you saw in some paper,
that l had voted last fall for old Bill
Allen, &c. l have occasionally voted for
a Democrat on personal preference, but
never because he was Democrat, and /
think the following will satisfy any one
on that matter.
was always strictly moral, and always
will be-
never used tobacco, and never will
use any.
never was a rebel, and never will be-
never drank any intoxicating liquors
and never will drink any.
So you see never was a copperhead
Democrat, and never can be.
If you choose, you may publish the
above, SO my old friends in jackson
county, who SO nobly supported me
twenty years ago, can see that have no
gone back on them.
Friend Mackley, your article in the
daily STANDARD, entitled Twenty years
| ago. was so interesting to me that
read it over two or three times and ther
cut it out and posted it in my history o
Ohio.
The STANDARD always was the bes
paper l could get.
Yours truly,

CARY AS A FTNANCIER.

Gen. Cary in his speech at this place
wiped out, and that their circulation
must be replaced by greenbacks. He
said this would be saving to the Gov
ernment and the people, as the people
have to pay the interest on the bonds
owned by the national banks, and receive
nothing in return.
Now if this was not square lying, what
was it
Greenbacks are not taxable. and never
can be. Gen. Cary admitted that the
bills of the national banks are perfectly
safe, and are worth the same in Texes
and in Maine. Greenbacks are good now,
but will Gen. Cary claim that an issue of
them exceeding S4O0, 100000 would not
depreciate them? That is the legal limit,
and when that is exceeded. down they go.

has capital stock of 100000 On that
