Another Daily.

The Commercial states " with authority" that
Wilmington is soon to have another daily.
Friend Vernon, of the Republican, thinks he has
stayed behind about long enough now, and, hav-
ing about completed his arrangements intends to
begin issuing daily very soon Now, If the
Adortiser, Pioneer Chronicle and Wayside will go
and do likewise, Wilmington will be pretty well
supplied with evening dailiss, and have almost
enough, and when Messrs. Dean, Brown,
Reynolds \ Co. get their great morning daily
started, wont Wilmington be great place
The Weather.
" The heated term " set In In dead earnest this
week. With the exception Of few warm days
two weeks ago, We have not been troubled with
heat, but the weather, on the contrary, has been
remarkably cool and pleasant for the season, but
during the past week we have been " catching
4" right. Monday was hot the mercury rang
ing from 10 in the morning to s5 in the middle of
the afternoon on Tuesday it ran from 74ro 90 /;
on Wednesday, from SO to SO; on Thursday il
was not quite SO warm the mercury ranging
not higher than 80.
The Commercial don't want oannons crackers
and other explosives fred in the streets of :" the
city" on the fourth Of July, and wants the eoun-
Gil to pass an ordinance to prevent 1t. 1t is
about right 1t is scarcely worth while to risk
the lives, limbs and property of the many to per-
nit few men and a good many boys to amHse
themselves by keeping up constant banging all
day to tho great annoyance fall who don't par
tcipate in it. Wish it could be stopped in Mid

Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1874-08-06

Every instinct of humanity or de
cency must shrink back to think of
one who will permit his brains to be
deliberately stolen from him while in
his hands he holds the scales of ius.
tice, and while from his tongue should
come forth utterances of wisdom and
truth. 1t is shame, and if for no
other reason under heaven, we ought
to adopt our new Constitution in Or
der to save at least that clause in it.
CONCLUSION.
Let us arise, friends, in our strength
and in our might, and call upon the
people as they love Christianity, as
they love civilization, rs they love
the right, as they would avert the
miseries and calamities of the domes-
tic impOverishment, as they would
preserve our eseutcheon, and aid in
the prevention of crime and all the
dire consequences that would flow
from an expression of public opinion
in favor of error, and let US cast
majority vote against the license
clause, and there will be no danger
of these fearful consequences. Great
applause. Should a majority ex-
preston be given in favor of license,
welding its club over the legislation
of the State, its temperance, its tenn
perance reform and its temperance re
formers will be swept was gong
to say into oblivion. But no, not into
oblivion, for they will rise again and
seize upon their banner, and lifting it
from the dust will fling it in the face
of the foe, and if not victorious in
this generation, will continue through
the next and the next, fighting on
and fighting ever, until, in defiance of
license and license clauses, the will
and the power and the glory of Al
mighty God will be vindicated in the
wisdom and power and virtue of an
Ohio General Assembly that will
bring good out of evil. Great Ap-
plause.
