Love and Laughter.

In the days when earth was young,
Love and laughter roamed together:
Love took up his harp and sung,
Round him all was golden weather.
But there came sign anon
What will be when life is gomez
Laughter then would try his skill
Sang of mirth and joy undying;
But he played his part 80 ill,
lie set echo all assigning.
Ever came an undertone-
What will be when life is done.
Then for ever since that time,
Love no more can live with laughter
For bright as is the summer-prime,
Winter pale will follow after
Love henceforth must dwell with sighs ::
joy was left in paradise.

The altering of several quarts of oil

That Bargain and Sale.

at the Hamilton County Democrat
ic Convection, the conditions O the sale
of the Democratic party to the Catho-
lie Church were complied with by the
nomination of Geghan. the author of
what is known as the Geghan Bill,
passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature of our State But there are a
great many members of the Democrat
ic party in the rural districts, who are
not willing to ratify the sale, as the re-
suit of the approaching October elec-
ton will testify. The Cincinnati En-
quirer is sharp enough to see this mis-
take of the leaders of the party, after
the bargain and sale has been made, and
shrinks from its share of the respons-
ibility in the contract, by pretending
to ignore the nomination of Geghan.
The School question is one of vital
interest to the masses of the people,
and the slightest attempt to overthrow
or EN- barrass this system is looked up
on with great distrust by honest Dem
Ocrats as we'll as Republicans; and the
yielding of the last Democratic Legis-
lature to the demands of the Catholic
priesthood is waking up the people to
the danger of our cherished educational
institutions, our Common Schools
And well it may.

THURSDAY.

Lew. Campbell should be the master carPen
te-s to make the Democratic platform for our
State. and that Gen. Cary should be its chief
expounder, whilst the old and experienced
Democrats, men who have been honored mem
bers of the party all their lives, had nothing
to do with it.
To recur to Burns, 1 do not believe the
Democracy of Ohio will endorse the doctrine,
that base metal is as good as pure metal, how
ever stamped by public authority; that paper,
than genuine coin; that debts are, or can be,
capital or money, in the hands of the people,
n matter who may be the debtor.
These are propositions that the true Demoe-
racy will never sanction. The true Democrat
believes that Gov ernment, as well as individ-
uals, should be honest. snd do as it would be
done by, The difference between the rea!
Democrat and the demagogue, is the same as
that betW cen the Christian and hypocrite
The one is a patriot and friend to the people;
| the other o mere pretender; promise never
| to be redeemed or fulfilled.
! The Democracy of Ohio do not want, and
will not have, either Aliens or Cary's horse
/ dignifed with First Consulshlp," though
either of them, for aught I know. may have o
horse. such as is described in the Scriptures,
whose s'neck was clothed with thunder and
which could ''scent the battle from afar off; =
or equal to Alexander's famous horse Buceph-
| alus.
I have no doubt there were sycophants in
Caligula' s day, who fondled his horse, as
though he was really First Consul; so I sup.
pose there are many now, who will follow
these false teachings. and who are ignorant
enough to call them Democracy Gary is
now preambulating the State and addressing
the people in his peculiar vein, and in thu
manner and spirit of King Henry the Fifth
in his address to his soldiers before the battl
of Harfeur, when he SAID, ''once more unto th'
breach, dear friends, once more, or close thu
wall up with the English dead" And in tn
close saying, "The games afoot! follow you
spirit, and upon this charge cry, God for Har
ry, England and st. George!" So I fancy
see Cary crying out, ''once more unto tn
breach, dear friends, once more, or close tn
, wall up with the" Democratic dead" 9Th

charge cry, God for'' Samuel, the Ohio Demo
cracy and irredeemable paper money!
, The above are some of the views of an oil
, Democrat, who has rarely scratched singl
name on any Democratic ticket at any electio
for nineteen years-one much older IN tn
party than either Ewing, Campbell or Cary
, and who learned his Democracy in the schoe
of the fathers.

: While Governor Allen is goin

= While Governor Allen is going
about the State blathering. about the
corruption of the Republican party of
Ohio, and trying to wheedle the peo-
pie into voting for him again this fall,
it is well enough, in order to show
what an old hypocrite lie is, to remind
the people occasionally of what he
said in his speech at the Soldiers Re
union, held in this place in August,
1874. In that speech, Gov. Allen
paid the following high compliment to
the Republican management of State
affairs; and the beauty cf it is, that he
told the truth. Hear HIM:
''The Democrats came into office last Janu-
ary alter our political opponents had held con-
troll of the State of Ohio for nearly 20 years,
but ace couldn't find, after the most careful erGnl
inGtion, single case of official corruption. They
had done some things that were wrong, nothing
that l1Gs corrupt. They spent more money than
a heavily taxed people could we'll bear, but
they didn't steal any
Can as much be said of the Demo-
cratic management for the past two
years? Compare this statement of
Governor Allen with the extracts from
the Democratic papers Of Ohio on
the last Democratic Legislature, pub
lished on the first page of this paper,
and then, taking their own statements
of the case, how does the Democratic
management of State affairs for the
past two years compare with the Re
publican management for the 20 years
preceding? "Out of their own
mouths are they condemned"

issue with the financial plank in the

The election of Allen and Carey,
while it will not put a dollar more
money in the pocket of the poor man,
will depreciate the value of what he
has; and while it will not increase the
wages of the laboring man one cent

money with which he is paid.

If there is any voter who thinks the
work laid out for the Democratic par
ty of Ohio by the Catholic Church
ended with the passage of the Geg-
han bill, let him read the following
extracts from the recognized newspa-
pers of the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Telegraph says:
at will be glorious day for Catholics in this
country, when under the laws of justice and
morality, our school system shall be shivered
to atoms until then, modern pagani SIN will
triumph.
The same paper also says:
'' We have agitated and shall continue
to agitate for our share of the school fund
so long as we are taxed to support sch ools
which Catholic children cannot attend.'
The Catholic Tablet says:
1--WE demand of the State as our right,
either such schools as our church
will accept, or exemption from the school
tax. If it will support schools by gem
eral tax, we demand that it provide or give
US our portion of the public funds, and
leave us to provide schools in our own re-
ligion, under the supervision of our
church,
These extracts show that it is di-
vision of the School Fund and the de-
struction of the Public School system
that the Catholic Church is after and
was after when it demanded the pass
age of the Geghan bill, as the first step
toward that end. The next step was
a demand for the denomination of
Geghan. That demand was complied
with, and this compliance is a plain
acknowledgment that the church has
g a prior claim" upon the party, and an
aVowal of the willingness of the party
to do the bidding of the church on fu-
ture occasions as in the past.
If the Democratic party is again
placed in power in the Les legislature of
the State, these demands will be made
upon it by its ally, the Catholic Church
They have acknowledged the s'prior
claim" of the church, and must comply
with its demands. Are the voters OF
Fayette county and the State prepared
to see this state Of things brought
about? Will they, by casting their
votes with the Democracy. lend theil
aid to the destruction of our glorious
Common School System, at the com
mand of the Pope of Rome? We

the evils which aflict the people
Well, Bill Allen has been governor of
Ohio for couple of years, but instead
of making money plenty and times
easy, he has only made matters worse,
and money has been growing scarcer
and times harder, during his admins
tration, according to these same Dem
ocrats. And yet they have the i'm
pudence to ask the people to elect him
again. But they can't deceive the peo-
pie more than once with the same lies.

the character of the speeches of our
two candidates for Governor, in the
present campaign, which cannot fail
of having its effect upon the intelli-

Governor Allen goes about the coun-
try palavering about his robust ply
aical condition and his 140O acre farm,
which he has turned over to bis SON
in-law to "make all the money he can
out of and stick it down in his pock
et," interspersed with plenty of black
guardism and profanity, until his
keepers have to pull him down by the
