In the reception Of the platform at the late
Democratic State Convention, the oulY feature
that evoked any opposition was the resolution
asking the Legislature to submit to the people
an amendment To the Constitution fer license.
Vigorous effort was made to get this resolution
either modified or stricken out altogether, but
the con vention pushed it through regard ess of
the wishes Of those few delegates who deemed
it glaringIy impolitie.
The discussion was brief aud somewhat
peculiar:
Senator Fisher, of Coshocton, moved 10
strike out the word 'license," and insert "local
option"
Cries of " No no."
There was second TO the motion, however,
and the question was put. The result was the
overwhelming defeat OF the proposition.
j. II. 5. Trainer. Of Jefferson county, moved
to strike out the license resolution altogether.
The motion was supported by f. b. Findley,
OF Crawford county, on the ground that the
adoption of the license clause would resnlt in
disastrous warfare upon the Democratic party.
Judge Haag, Of Henry, called The attention of
the ConEsatioH to the wording Of the reso luton.
IL did not commit the Democracy to license as
a party, but simply recommended that the
question be submitted to the people.
Mr. Findley-l move to insert in the resolu-
tion the wsrd graduated before the word
license" My reason is that we don't want
to cut out the small grocers in smaller towns
from keeping liquor. They are principally
Democrats, and we doH't want them cut out.

The White Leorue MurJerors

Each new day, says the Gin. Times, and each
fresh dispatch, present in still more glaring
light the reign Of terror inaugurated in the
South. 1t is a repetition, upon larger aud
better organized scale, Of the murderous work
to which the treachery Of ANDREW JOHNSON
invited the irreconcileables Of the South
White Leagues another name for Ku Klux
ARE forming, organizing, arming, and at work,
with avowed determination Of driving from The
polls, by intimidation or murder, all who are
not energetically in favor Of "a white mans
government" Newspapers of standing, se are
glad to say, throughout the imperilled district,
are heard in manly condemnation of such an :
archy and crime. The Courier. Journal, Of Lou
isville, is laboring earnestly for the cause of
law. The following is sample of its tone,
"The folly Of the. Middle State mtrauders in
numbering and torturng the blacks, is as con.
spicunus as their brutality, and the sooner a
few of them are brought 10 the eaIlows the
better Il will be for the real uleres, Of the
South"
The Atlanta, Ga. Herald pursues the same
enlightened course in language clear and forc-
lble; ut IS the duty ot every clear r.hea dad,
sober-thinking maR to deprecAte any thing like
hwlessness on the part Of the white people,
Cnless by calm and quiet behavior they
keep down the disturbances nd auell the rirts
there is but enc gcSu: ahead OF us, and thai
Is personal war between the races-a war
OF rapine and murder a war IN which every
bush will be a fortress, in which assassination
will be the rule and the torch a weapon of
warfare. The white race is the stronger in
number, in resources and in intelligence. 1t
can afford to treat with some degree Of gen
ernsiiy the weak aud ignorant negro. Let us
have no more lynching"

part in this drama

count Of financial embarrassments and fur
ther cause Of trouble is said to be the marriage
of his daughter without his consent, last week
FL had been drinking deeply for several days.

paired to tie scene.

The contest in Wood County on the Auditor
is largely in favor of the election of Andrew j.
ManVille, tie Democratic candidate, whose quail
ihcdtions for the position are so far superior to
those Of Case, the Republican, that tue voters
generally have decided to elect him.
The above appsaredin the Democrat and
Herald on Saturday last, Just oae week
prlor to the holding of the Dem 1cratic
Convent On in this county. This shows
the utter lack of knowledge Of the actions
OF the Democracy ia this county, or de-
sire to forestall the action of the Conven-
tion. In neither case 1t Is not creditable to
that paper. We donbt very much II Doc

ton IL it was rendered him.
The proceedings of the Republican
Convention were harmonious throughout,
with one slight exc c9pdon In which 1t was
claimed that a few Democrats voted in
the Washington township delegation
and admitting that such were the facts
It should also be admitted that they would
have che honor to stand by aud vote for
rhe ticket they Helped to nomlnste. There
were less disappolntments than usual
where there have been an equal number
Of candidates la the field, and there Is no
exeus se forany Republican to bolt any man
nominated upon the ticket.

A Drunkard on Drunkard's Platform

The nomination Of Judge Gilmore to the SUI

Democratic State Convention TO do. 1t would
be hard to fnd iu all Ohio a lawyer or "Judgs"

position. He is unlettered, ignorant even in
his chosen profession, and the slave of his ap-

tracted sprees. The Butler County Bar not
long since sent him to exchange and So let

Hon Charles Foster in a conversation on Sat-

view that, politics aside, the business interests
Of Toledo and the sixth District could hardly
fail tn suffer. by the election Of Democrat to

and who would OF necessity he amnng the mi

in the cold in future bills and appropriations
and bring npon ourselves serious loss to our
public interests Add to this the Fact that the
Democratic party are nrtoriously the persist'nt
enemies Of everything in the line Of internal inn
