ssTHE ETERNAL FITNESS OFTHINGS., ,,

''B. J. L." the correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, in giving an
account of the unveiling Of the soldiers
monument at this place says:
Out of regard for the eternal fitness of
things it was regarded as imp 1rtant that
a monument to the dead soldiers should
be consecrated by those two great mill
tary geniuses, Governor Allen and Hon.
s. F. Hunt. Whoever recalls the mill
tary ardor displayed by these two dis
tinguished Generals during the period
between the firing on Fort Sumpter and
the settlement of difficulties at Appomat-
tax, will see how important a feature
this was to secure for this occasion.
After securing Hunt for orator of the
day, and Governor Allen for the good it
would do the old gentleman to be here,
the committee had no need to make fur
thsr additions to the list, but it was de-
cided to invite General r. b. Hayes, and
he came.
The Cleveland Leader has the follow
ing to say upon the same subject:
Every soldier in Ohio who has vote
to cast this fall should read the extracts
which We publish this morning from the
speech of Governor Allen delivered at
Hamilton on the 10th of September,
1863. With such speech as that on
record, what n mockery and insult it
was for William Allen to be brought out
to dedicate the monument at Findlay to
the memory of the brave men who fell
in a cause which the same William Allen
insuIted and DETAINED thirteen years ago.
On our first page will be found the
extracts to which the Ledder refers.
We can vouch for the correctness of the
report, for we heard the same speech at
WaverIy during that campaign.

4 REPLY TO "CITIgPy. +"

Eds. JEFF. Your communication by
"A Citizen" from Mt. blanchard, last
week, in its unprovoked, malignant and
slanderous attack upOn a dozen yOung
couples from Findlay, who attended the
exhibition at Mt. Blanchard on the eve
ming of the ID, would not be mentioned
by us, had not the author covered him
self behind the ambush of n citizen.
Had he given his name, the magnitude
of the accusation would have been lost
in the insignificance of the accuser.
Under his cover, however, we can only
judge of him by his language and the
general reputation of the little village of
which he dubs himself citizen. While
there are, to our personal knowledge,
some good, honest and true young and
old heads and hearts in your village, yet
our parents in the gentle guide which
they constantly keep before our path,
do not, in any instance, point to, or ask
us to follow as example the citizens of
Mt Blanchard, and when We, as some
little excuse for our temper or passion,
or little sins, name Mt. blanchard, they
generally call our attention to our
nursery hymn
Let dogs delight 10 baik aud bite
For God has made them So
Let bears and lions grOwl and fight,
For It's their nature too.
We were we'll pleased with a part of
your exhibition, and admired the talent
and taste OF many of the productions
and exercises, and are willing to accord
proper honor where it belongs, and with
the exception of your billingsgate exer-
else entitled "The Artist" which re-
minded Us of what we have heard OF the
BLACK Crook" and of which you are
certainly not proud, we could pronounce
the entertainment a success But when
you asked us to stay until midnight, the
hour of Your adjournment, you asked
too much of US. IS our time, and our
leaving at II o'clock seems to have
troubled ''Oitigen, we may not have
snited him in our manner Of applause.
The play, however, was not stopped OH
account of 1t, as it was after we left.
Yet it was the natural outburst of our
hearts. and should have left no bat i'm
preSsion. ''H5nj soft q'ti mai yPense-
evil unto him who evil thinks.
Now, Mr. Citizen, if You have mod
crate degree Of common sense, as You
say, and we will not stop to argue it, but
agree that it is ceIy moderate indeed,
you would show it best by keeping still,
md from your glass house see to it that
you throw no stones. We do not be-
ieve that a majority of your citizens
endorse Your article, and wili not go
back on ynnr village on account of your
gnorance and stupidity, until we know
hat it is endorsed by your people gen
rally, and if it is not we will try to get
he consent of our parents 10 60 again;
Dut if it is we shall be led TO exclaim in

Republican State Platform,

The representatives of Ohio, in con-
vention assembled, reaffirming the car
dinRI principles of their organization.
which have become the received maxims
of the policy of the State and nation.
declare on specific points the series Of
sentiments following:
First. The States are one as a nation
and all the citizens are equal under the
laws, and entitled to their fullest pro-
lection.
Second. That a policy of finance should
be steadily pursued which, without un-
necessary shock to Business or trade.
will ultimately equalize the purchasing
capacity of the coin and paper dollar.
Third. We are in favor Of tariff for
revenue, with incidental protection to
American industry.
Fourth. We stand by free education.
our public school system, the taxation
OF all Tor its support, and no division of
the school fund.
Fifth. Under ourRepublican system of
government there should be no connec-
tion, direct or indirect, between church
and state, and We oppose all IegisIa
ton in the interest OF any particular
sect upon this subject. We should not
eign governments where the efforts of
the church to control the state consti-
tute an evil of great magnitude and en-
dangers the power and prosperity of the
people.
Sixth. We demand such a revision of
the patent laws as will relieve industry
from the expressions of lnOnopoIies.
Seventh. A grateful people can never
cease to remember the services of our
soldiers and sailors. and it is due to them
that liberality and generosity should OBJ
tain in the adjustment Of pay and boun-
ties.
Eighth. That we demand that the
public domain shall be scrupnlously re-
served for occupancy by actual settlers.
Ninth. The determination of the Gov
ernment to collect the revenues and
prevent and punish frauds, has our un-
qualified approval.
Tenth. That the power of municipal
corporations to create debts should be
restricted, and local and other expendi-
lures should be reduced so as to dimin-
ish taxation.
Eleventh. The observance of Wash
ington's example in retiring at the close
TO a second Presidential Germ, will be in
the future, as it has been in the past, re-
garded as a fundamental rule in the un-
written law of the Republic.
Twelfth. The distinguished success of
his administration, which, to the fame
of the patriot and soldier has added that
of the capable and iudicious statesman,
entities President Grant to the gratitude
of his countryInen.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

The politicians of the Democratic par
ty affect great innocence OF any design
upon the school system of the State, and
deny that they have any understanding
with the ruling powers Of the Catholic
Church to alter it to suit their views.
How does this profession of innocence
compOrt with the following expressions
of confidence in the Democratic party
appearing in the ReCieJC, an organ of
Catholic sentiment published III Toledo:
That every Catholic will vote the
Democratic ticket is moral certainty;
the one who does not do so would be
false to himSelfand his own best interests.
The Republican party has never done
anything to merit the confidence of any
Catholic.
THE only political justice that Catho-
lies have ever received in this country
has come from the hands Of the Demo
cratic party, and the only justice they
ever need hope to obtain must come
from the same party.
1T is presumption for the Republican
party to ask Catholic support, and that
if any party is entitled to the undivided
vote of tine whole Catholic people, it is
the Democratic party.
claim for itself, nor allow Catholic lead
erS to claim for it, the exclusive support
of the voters of that Church, while dis
claiming all intention of carrying out
what the ReoieD says is all they have to
ask of any party. The Re5ielO says:
1--WE have never sought anything eX
cept modification of the School law 81
that We may not be compelled to sup
port by taxation system which, as now
conducted, we regard as unfair, and
from which we can derive no possible
benefit This is a pretty broad admis
sion to- be made in an article intended to
deny that there was any opposition to
tile School system on rhe part of the
Catholics. The ReCieIC admits that
they do seek IA modification of the
School law 1t asserts that they seek
such IL modification aS will relieve them
(CathOlicS) from supporting by taNt-
ton IL system which, it5 now conducted,
we regard as unfair, and from which we
can derive no possible benefit To
effect this modification the RscieI8 de-
clareS no aid is To he expected from the
Republican party. But il the Democratic
party has given mo pledge tn make such
modification would the ReCicJr de
clare it to be the only party entitled to
the undivided vote of the whole CathO-
lie people. '-IoiedG Commercial.

Il POOR FICUSE.

The Columbus correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette has the following re-
garding the purchase of Catholic Secta-
rIan books 10y Warden Innis, of the Ohio
Penitentiary:
Warden Innis. of the Penitary, is pret-
ty hard put to it. He explains his recent
purchase of Catholic sectarian books
with public money by saying that he
found in the library of the prison D'Au-
bigne's History of the Reformation, and
other books written by Protestants, and
tLe works of Josephus, writted by Jew
therefore he thinks the Catholics should
have chance, and approved the ex-
penditure of nearly $50 for the purchase
of such purely Catholic Church books as
'"Think Well on It," IA Manual of
Prayer" ''Ihe Poor Mans Catechism, "
and 'Introduction to a Devout Life. :"
Why not now expend $50 for the West
minister Confession, the Longer and
Shorter Cathecisms, and then $50 more
for the Methodist Book of Dicipline, and
so on, and so on? Verify the Geghan bill
is bearing fruit. 1t must be remembered
that the money was expended not for the
library of the prison, but ''for the Cath
olic Church, +" within the prison walls,
and was taken for this purpose from the
library fund.

the Republican nominee for Treasurer
of State:
John NJ. Millikin, the Republican can

poor young man; by his energy, econ

himself up in the world, and has been
selected by the Radicals as one OF their

HERE is another little extract that will
do to sit down and think over. A prom.
inent Catholic Bishop of this country,
writing under date of April 26th, of this
year, to the Pope of Rome, used these
words:
"Within twenty years the Protestant
heresy will come to an end. If we can
secure the West and the South, We can
take care of England" This same dig
nitary said to his Catholic brethren, ''All
that is necessary is money and priests to
subiugate the mock liberties OfAmerica. "
The letter was published in the papal
organ at Rome, and translated therefrom
by the Italian correspondent of the
Journal deS DeGatS, and was there found
by an American in Paris, translated and
sent home. We commend it to the
voters of Ohio as an announcement of II
purpose which many of us may live to
see attempted.

EVEN Frank Leslie's paper, which has
for years devoted itself to the abuse ot
the Republican party, is compelled to
admit that the record of the Republican
party cannot be sneered down. In a
late issue it calls this record brilliant
one, and adds:
'"The party has carried ON its shoul-
ders weight of responsibility never be-
fore assumed by g political party in a
free republic. 1t has been followed by
a majority of the people of the Eorth
with almost religious ardor, and negroes
of the South bless it as their almost di-
yine emancipation.
Now let Leslie go n step farther and
compare this record with that of the
Democratic party, which for twenty-five
years cannot boast of a single act favor
able to equal rights, or in the interests
of liberty and good goyeFnmsent.

SOME of the more reckless and parti-
zan Democratic papers in the State at.
tempt to palliate the action of the last
Legislature, but honest Democrats are
outspoken in their denunciation of the
most disgraceful conclave of Legislators
that ever met in Ohio. Here is the opinion
of Representative Gordon, of Cincinnati,
of the man whom the Democrats honor
edC9 as the Speaker of the House. The
opinion was delivered in letter publish
ed in the Cincinnati Commercial of May
9TH:
"He (Converse) is, in my opinion, the
''most unmitigated scoundrel in Ohio.
''He is treaeherous and cOwardly. He
"never harbored an honorable thought
Gin his life or did a generous thing. He
delights in duplicity, and seems to take
''ioy in meanness, even without n mo-
''tive. / am not alone in this opinion of
''this gentleman; some of the best men
Sin the party despise the crawling crea-
''ture, and while some tolerate him from
"motives of policy, Others are more ont
'spoken."
