The Ohio Vote.

If full Republican vote can be brought
out in the Ohio election, the State ought
to 60 for Hayes by at least 10000 major
ity. These may be regarded as sanguine
figures, but full vote would prove them
truthful ones. only one vote, it will
never be missed" has been a conclusion
that has cost the Republican party some
severe defeats. There are, in the State
of Ohio, over two thousand post offices
Five citizens failing to vote in each post
Office district would make an aggregate
of ten thousand in the State. The only
safe plan to bring out full vote, is, for
every voter to feel that his vote is the
one needed to secure a victory. Prompted
by this feeling, every man will be repre-
sented at the polls, and the full vote of
the party will be secured. Governor
Allen is Governor of Ohio to-day, be-
cause Republicans throughout the Stat e
thought their votes would not be missed
Had the full vote of the party been cast
he would have been defeated by over
10000 majority, and this, without count
ing those votes cast for the Liberal
ticket. Every vote must be brought out
Local organizations should keep this in
view. A thorough canvass should be
made in each town, the party vote deter
mined, and every Republican vote
should be brought to the polls. The
eyes of the nation are upon Ohio Repub-
licans. Let US hope they will do their
full duty in the Oct ober election Wash

In his speech on last Saturday night
Mr.. Traveldick declared that the idea of
specie payment was a cheat, fraud, a
delusion, and lie. He said gold never
was, is not now. and never will be, the
currency of the world. He might take
ten dollar gold piece, which is current
money in the United States, and just as
soon as he got the length of his boot,
about thirteen inches, over the line into
Canada, his gold piece became utterly
worthless as currency. But he declared
that greenbacks were current as money
in Europe. And there were Democrats
in that Court House fool enough to gulp
down such stuff as true. No wonder that
the candidate of the party for State Sen
ator declared year ago that the candi-
date of the party for Representative has
an imbeciLe nature and weak intellect.
Such nature, and such an intellect,
would truly represent such party.

Portsmouth Items.

The leading topic of interest in this
Home" In 1874 the. Commissioners
levied one mill on the dollar for Chill
dren's Home, which produced $4,000.
In 1875 the same levy. which will pro-
duce the same amount, has been made.
Recently the Commissioners paid Isaac
Hobbs & Son of Philadelphia $500 for a
design, and bids were invited. The low
est bid was some $685. 900, by James M.
Nichols, but by leaving unfinished GER
tain parts, the bid can be reduced to $29,-
900.
Among many of the tax payers there
was opposition to letting the work at
this time. The Commissioners fixed on
Thursday to hear the parties pro and con,
and for determining what action they
would take. They had made up their
minds to let the work, provided there
were no legal objections to the same.
The Commissioners sat for the hearing
in the court room, and quite an audience
of ladies interested in the building of the
home, and of taxpayers interested for or
against the Home. The case was pre-
sented on the part of the Home by n.
W. Evans, H. A Towne and o. F, Moore,
and on the part OF those opposed to the
enterprise by J. w. Bannon and A. C.
Thompson. 1t was a simple question
whether the Commissioners in proposing
to erect the Home under the authority
of the act of 1867, were limited by the
law of 1871, page III, requiring an ex-
penditure of over $4,000 to be submit
ted to vote of the people
The discussion occupied from 10 A. NJ.
to P. M, with recess for dinner The
parties opposed to the proposed building
signifed their willingness to withdraw
their opposition if a building costing
from $4,000 to $4,000, was determined
on by the Commissioners. 1t seems the
Board of Commissioners can not agree
on the question of $4,000 building, but
if the parties desirous of the Home will
signify their willingness to accept one
costing 5000. the Commissioners will
undertake. the building of such an one
forthwith Tie site selected for the
building is in the old fair grounds, di-
rectly east of green lawn cemetery, and
which is owned by the county.
One of the phenomena of our city is
that many large tax payers opposed to
the ChiIdren's Home are in favor of the
erection of a work-house for our city
criminals. Why vicious men should be
provided for in preference to helpless
innocent children, is to us a very singu-
lar order Of philanthropy.
Barton & Gibbs new map of the county
is out. 1t is very creditable affair.

The Chillicothe Gazette gives some fur
thief account of the case against young
Tommy Clewers. He had loaned Bever-
ly $50 year or two ago, and attached
Beverlys trunk, but could not hold it.
and some persons thought that Beverly
had him arrested through i'll feeling.
Clewers gave security for his appearance
at Court. and Beverly was recognized as
a witness. As he was about to leave, he
was required to give security, and being
unable to do so, the Mayor was going to
send him to Jail, when the Probate Judge
released him on ha6eas corpus. This is
perhaps the end of the case.

And now comes a citizen of Preble
county and says that he met Sam Cary
on the train, and Cary asked him if his
old Republican temperance friends were
going to.vote for him. The Preble coun-
ty man told him he did not think they
would. Cary said he thought they ought
to do so, as the Dutch saloon-keepers had
gone back on him, and it was about time
that the Dutch were being taught that
they cannot rule this country. The fact
is, Cary is right. Very few Germans are
low enough to votesfor him. A man will
put up with a good deal of abuse of him
self, but when it comes to such scandalous
language as Cary used about the wives
and children of the Germans, no man
with particle of real manhood, will
stand it.

defense. strike was inaugurated, and
although some i'll advised workmen oc-
casionally used violent language, yet the
sheriff of the county was able promptly
to quell any violence that might be
threatened, and satisfactorily maintained
the peace.
By the law of the State, when the
peace cannot be kept in any county, and
riot is imminent there, the sheriff OF that
county shall ask of the Governor AID
from the State militia. This requisitlon
for State aid is only to come from the
sheriff of the county, and only to be FUR
nished by the Governor upon such prop
er official application. Now, what occur
red in the Nelsonville case?
The sheriff. finding himself able to
keep the peace, made no application to
Gov. Allen for assistance, but Messrs.
Brooks Il Sons, the wealthy coal opera
tors, filed with hatred at the poor labor
| ing men, because in self defense they re-
| fused to work at the starvation prices
forced upon them, went to Allen, made
out their own case, asked for troops, and
upon the application of Brooks d Sons
alone, the State militia were forwarded
to intimidate, break down, or drive from
their homes; the sons OF toll.
On page lis of the last laws of the
State will be found the act passed by the
Democratic Legislature, appropriatlng
$40 for payment of the expenses of this
militia When the act came up, the Re
publicans enquired upon what authority
of law these troops were furnished, but
| in response Gov. Allen and his friends
in the Legislature failed to give any rea-
son.
Here is another of many cases, where
in violation of the direct letter OF the law
S542 was taken from the public treasury,
and for what? Simply to Cypress and
break down laboring men who were ask
ing a recognition of their rights, and do
ing that peacefully, as is evidenced from
the fact that the sheriff needed no aid to
preserve order.
Gov. Allen has willfully and deliberate
ly in the most direct contravention OF
the plainest law, loaned himself and the
power he wields as the Governor of the
third State in the Union, to rich coal
firm, to grind down the suffering masses
who were honestly striving for living,
and when asked for some shadow Of au-
thority for his action, utterly failed to
give any.
As consequence when the vote was
put before the House the Republicans
voted zen masse" against it, but it was
carried by the full Democratic vote. So
much forsthe Democracy's boasted friend
ship for the daily laborer.

Let the German Republicans who went
over to the Democracy a year or two ago,
read the following from the Toledo Com
mercial:
Have not the Prohibitionists good
ground for complaint of the Democratic
managers, for thus cutting under them
in the nomination of the most ultra, bit
ter and unsparing enemy of the liquor
traffic in the State? What other public
man in Ohio has ever characterized lager
beer as filthy foreign swill-'an un-
healthy, demoralizing, destructive and
brutalizing beverage, and the association
of the American born with the Ger
man element as 'brutalizing p Who,
but the Democratic nominee for Lieuten-
ant Governor, speaks of 'bloated, dis
eased, halfrotted, beer-drinkers,' as so
many signs, warning youth to avoid the
beer saloon ? "

Hiram Mayhem, of Franklin township,
informs US that he saw one of the strange
serpents, composed of small worms. 1t
was in the branch, on some rocks, and
after rain had started the water to run
ming, it turned its course, and had fiat
tened out, but it still retained its snaky
shape. The Steubenville Herald says
ga SNAKY SUBJECT.-A letter giving
snake story, appears in the Pittsburgh
Leader of last evening, from which we
make an extract for the reason, that
some three weeks ago our attention was
called to precisely similar phenomenon
in every respect, at the head of Market
street, and which the philosophy of the
oldest inhabitant failed to explain. The
motion of the worms, their number and
appearance, answers exactly to the fol-
lowing description, and some of our stu
dents of natural history are hereby called
upon to rise and explain. The letter in
speaking of the snake says:
at was composed of myriadS of small,
spotted worms, the largest being three
quarters of an inch long, the smallest
barely discernable, the whole mass slowly
moving forward at the rate of about an
inch an hour, and presenting to the OBJ
server the appearance of huge snake.
The large snake-like head is formed by
the larger worms pushing forward, then
retaining an equal thickness for about
three feet, and gradually taperlng down
to a point, the smaller worms forming
the TAIL being unable apparently to keep
up,"

The proceedings of the Senatorial Con-
vention were crowded out last week.
Here is the official report:

Here is the official report:
REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
The delegates representing Adams,
Jakson. Pike and Scioto counties in the
Senatorial Conv ention gathered at the
Court House on Wednesday. 1t was a
fine body of intelligent gentlemen, and
their work was done promptly and in
order.
On motion James Trip, Esq, of Jack
son was called to the chair, and Samuel
Burwell, of Adams chosen Secretary.
On motion of DR.. A. B. Monahan, of
jackson, a committee of three on creden-
tials was appointed, consisting of Dr. A.
B. Monahan, of Jackson, DR.. Ray, of
Pike, and C. P. Lloyd, of Scioto. And at
the suggestion of the same gentlemen it
was decided to complete the entire bust
ness of the convention in the morning
hour, in order to afford some of the dele
gates an opportunity to go to their homes
on the afternoon train.
On motion of Judge j. S. Pollitt, a
committee was appointed on rules con
sisting of Henry Ceilings of Adams, H.
James of Pike and j. S. Pollitt of Scioto.
On motion the District Sen atorial Com
mittee was appointed, consisting of the
following named gentlemen: Samuel
Burwel of Adams, Chas. G. James of
jackson, R. Daugherty of Pike, and c. E.
Irwin ofScioto.
Nominations being in order, the names
of the following gentlemen were present
ed.
Henry Ceilings presented the name of
G. W. Naylor of Adams.
R. Daugherty, John Blain, of Pike.
o. D. Foster, Capt. L. N. Robinson, of
Scioto.
C. P. Lloyd, j. Q. Gibson, of scioto.
Davis Mackley, j. L. Jones, of Jackson.
Mr.. j. Q. Gibson withdrew his name
conditionally from the balloting, but was
willing to stand as a candidate in case of
dead lock between the candidates al
ready presented.
The first ballot resulted as follows:
Adams, Naylor 8; Jackson, Jones 10;
Pike, Blain 6; Scioto, Robinson II.
There were sc votes in all, requiring 19
votes to elect. The balloting up to the
third was the same, when G. W. Naylor
withdrew, and Adams votes were about
equally divided between Blain Jones and
Robinson, until the ninth ballot was had,
after which the name of j. L. Jones was
Withdrawn. The tenth ballot resulting
in 16 votes for Blain of Pike; and 20 for
Robinson of Scioto.
On motion of R. Daugherty of Pike,
the nomination of Capt Robinson was
made unanimous.
Capt. Robinson was called for and
thanked the Convention for the honor in
neat little speech, after which the Con-
vention adjourned.
1t is but right that we should give an
explanation Before Mr.. Jones had been
named as candidate, we had promised
Mr.. Gibson to support him. When the
candidates were being announced, some
of the delegates from our county thought
that We ought to present the name of
Mr.. Jones, or it might be thought that
we had something against him. We did
so for that reason, still being resolved to
make good our promise and vote for Mr..
Gibson, had he been a candidate.

From the following it would appear
that the corrupt DUNCAN ring" are after
that great statesman, l. T.:
"DR. l. I. MoNAHAN-Dear Sir: AS the
people of this Senatorial district are ex-
pected to vote this fall, your views upon
the currency question are being either
misrepresented or misunderstood, and
therefore, upon this chief issue please
answer the following:
81. Are you in sympathy and in senti-
ment with Senator Thurman on the cur
rency contraction and specie resumption
policy?
"2. Do you believe it possible that
specie payment could be resumed so long
as this Government and the people there
of are thousands of millions in debt 2
''3. Do you heartily and boldly adopt
the currency plank of your own party
platform, giving the construction your
party gives to that plank2

The Ironton Register puts the follow
ing at the Democratic demagogues, but
it will not silence them

about the taxation of United States
bonds, in his speech last Saturday night

taxed. Well, why amt they taxed A
Democratic Legislature has been making
laws for two years. They have been pass
ing Geghan bills, selling their votes for
500 cigars, and turning over the Toledo
treasury to the bummers of that city.
Why don't they tax the bonds? The
Democrats make pitiful faces before the
people about this thing. Well, they have
had the Ohio Legislature four years out
of the past eight, and yet the bonds are
not taxed. Why don't they tax the
bonds? we ssk again. They have had
the chance, but won't do it. All they
