SOMERTON.

Saturday evenings have come to be
very lively. The ice cream houses are
opened then, and the streets are quite
alive with promenaders.
Just now when the ornamental trees
are all green, and many of the houses
freshened by new paint, we feel like
boasting enough to say that SOmerton
is as pretty village as any in the
county.
The Cashier of the Bank looks with
longing eyes toward the new bank
building when passing it. Pleasanter
rooms than those he is now occupying
would no doubt be acceptable.
We noticed Mr., Marius Plumley and
family of West Liberty, Iowa, in town
last week. He was formerly resident
of our vicinity and expresses himself as
being well satisfied with his western
home and western life.
The Masonic fraternity of this place
are making preparations to attend the
demonstration at Belleville, on Thurs
day, the 24th.
The dedication of the new M. E.
Church is to take place on the 18th of
July. Quite number of visitors are
expected at that time, among whom
are some distinguished preachers.

Catholicism and the Democratic
Party.

lLr. Editor When sectarianism, in
any form, is introduced into the politics
of this country, it is not only to be re-
GREETED by every right thinking man,
but by its peculiar introduction into the
politics of this State, every friend of our
public school system may well take the
alarm. The founders of our Republic,
knowing what had been the coIse-
quences to other nations where political
contests in which questions of religious
faith were involved, carefully strove to
make such contests impossible here.
The Catholic denomination of the State
of Ohio have seen fit to disregard this
tradition of our government, and this
fall will be witnessed for the first time
in the history o. our country the intro
durtion of sectarianism at the polls.
The Catholic church owes this country
a debt of gratitude which it can never
repay, for in no other country on the
face of the Globe does it enjoy such
freedom from persecution and legisla-
tive interference. Bishop McQuaid, one
of the bitterest opponents Of cur public
school system, has declared that they
must go into the political field, that
they must use the power of the ballot
box and that power rests with organ
lied numbers. The Catholic Telegraph,
the organ of Archbishop Purcell, has
openly promised to the Democracy the
solid broken vote of the Catholics of
the State in the coming contest, and
the Democracy have accepted the prof
tered aid. A Democratic victory in this
this State, this fall, means nothing less
than a towards thrust at our common
school system, and its death must soon
follow. 1t seems scarcely possible that
any intelligent Catholic can give bis
vote for any such purpose, but if there
is, let him ponder well over the fact
that he is giving a blow to Catholicism
in this country from which it may
never recover. The country will hold
the Democratic party responsible for
dragging sectarianism into politics,
and what little prestige it has left will
be entirely sunk by such course of in
fanny. The Catholic church in de-
manding that the public school funds
shall be divided among the sects know
that their demand is demonstrations.
and in direct violation of the spirit o.
our institutions and the VIII ole policy o.
our government, and the Democratic
party stands arraigned before the coun-
try as an accessory to the damna-
BILE acts. 1t seems impossible that such
Il nefarious scheme can be brought to a
successful termination at the polls, but
the only sure mode of preventing it
is for every friend of our public educa-
ton policy to cast his ballot for the
Republican candidates at the coming
election. CONSTANTINE.

ing manner:
The speech of William Allen, accept
ing the services of the Democratic Con-
vention yesterday, was the most dis
graceful exhibition of vulgar demago-
gerry and slang whang it has ever been
our bad fortune to hear. The undigni-
fled and shameful Safeguarding of the
Republican party, from the Chief Mag
istrate of the Nation down-Or "from
head to tall" as Governor Allen ele-
gantly expressed twas so grossly and
Extensively indelicate and ungentle-
manly, that even Democratic Conven-
ton sat tsilent and shame-faced, as this
paraIytic old drab belched it forth in
the alternate bellowings and whisper
ings which his coarse ignorance mis-
takes for eloquence. The worst bar
room loafer that ever raved drunken
blasphemy in pot house, never excell-
ed the Chief Executive of Ohio in bis
peculiar role, as he exhibited himself
to the wondering crowd at the Opera
House, yesterday afternoon. We hope
to be spared the shame of ever again
seeing an Ohio Governor so disgrace
himself and his party. If the people o.
Ohio have any selfrespect left, they
will send this man, SO destitute of de-
cency, or even ordinary tact and sense
OF propriety, back to his proper place,
as the oracle of the worst Ross county
bar room.
