Just as soon as we get "big brave, much
fight" with lots of scalps dangling at his
belt, in full dress of victorious war paint,
somebody has to step in and throw cold wa
ter on the hero business. Now comes a
story that Judge Poland found several
months ago that both Edmunds and Adds
were working against him, ap1 that Adds
was morally certain of the judgeship, and
that the judges supreme Indifference to the
judgeship was a remarkably clear case of sour
grapes. 1t seems the judge had Hobson's
choice, measure of popularity or nothing,
and chose the former. Who blames him

the community has retrograded, and it
may be said that its principles not being
applicable to current affairs, are the en-
bodiment of retrogression. The princi-
pies of the Republican party are suited
to the condition of the country. They
are to be regarded as the national express
sion in all that relates to popular aspira-
ton and achievement in craftsmanship.
The Republican party, which has created
Nation by the union of the States, de-
sires to complete unity of its work. The
Democratic party has interviewed and
complicated, what might otherwise have
been easier of accomplishment. The
Democratic party is in the way and must
be put aside till the work of the Rspub-
lican party is done. That work, guided
by the wisdom of experience, consists in
restoring the South to its true position
in the Union; in keeping open the way
for the education of all its citizens; in
upholding the rights of all and their free
exercise; in assisting in the creation of
sound public opinion, which shall be
tolerant of difference and protect the
weak from the tyranny of the strong;
and in laboring for the return of free,
happy and contented people to share in
the common prosperity and glory of the

An Old but Characteristic Speech Of Gov
Allen.

In looking over the files of the Gazette
we came across this gem, which fell from
the lips of our Governor nearly fifty
years ago. Those papers that were sur
prised and shocked at the character of
the Governors speech at the Democratic
State Convention will learn from this
one that the tree has only taken the in
clination of the twig-
The report was first given in the Ports
mouth Times of October, 1928, and re-
published in the Scioto Gazette of Octo
ber l, 1882. Here it is, though, in all
its beauty:
"Mr. Allen, from Chillicothe, was here

of our most respectable citizens, when
after q short pause, he reached forth his

would do admirably for cutting up into
drumsticks, and with the voice of thun

The past is the only index that we
have of the possibilities of the future.
If we have known man through long
series of years, and can bear testimony
to his honesty, his fidelity, his ability,
we are not afraid to trust him in the fu-
ture. Our confidence has firm basis,
and though it may be shaken, the chances
are that it will not; that the character
which has proven true in the part will
continue true to the end. This is the
teaching of human experience, and holds
good with parties as it does with men.
The Republican party has stood the test
of fourteen years of severe trial. It's f.
deity has been tried. Its honesty proven.
Its patriotism has been established be-
yond question. 1t has brought the ma
tion through danger greater than any
that ever confronted people. Its whole
record from 1861 to 1875, is open, like a
book, to be read and judged by all men.
1t has had its faults, but they have been
the unintentional faults of friend, and
not the designs of an enemy. Judged
by the standard of practical experience,
it has proven a worthy public servant,
devoted to those vital principles which
are necessary to healthy public growth
and the preservation of free institutions.

fy do so by destroying the state Govern-
ments of the South and thereby destroy,
in fact, the whole State Governments of
the North. they can only succeed by es-
tablishing a despotism, garrisoning the
whole of the South, seven hundred thou
sand strong, the cost, nay, the interest of
which would take the best farms from
under your feet And this would not be
the greatest evil should they succeed.
Here are four millions of negroes, they
have hitherto been kept on that side of
the line merely because they could not
come this side of it. If the abolition
party succeeds, all we have to do will be
to make our preparations to go where
breadstuffs are cheap, and go from the
region towards which the negro gravi-
tates. These negroes will come hocking
over our river by the hundred thousand
Now what do you want of them? They
will occupy the place left vacant by the
murdered white men; men who have
been murdered in order that these ne
groes should get chance of settling
here.
They commence bringing in the niger
to push off the Irishman and the Dutch
man, not because they are altogether
angry with those people for voting the
Democratic ticket, though that is great
reason, but will tell you, my friends, if
this abolition party succeeds in breaking
up our government, in breaking up the
State governments, trampling ON the
Constitution, the next thing they will do
will be to inaugurate a religious war
They will appeal to the religious preiu-
dices of the country; they will band the
disciples of Knox and Wesley against
the followers of the head of the Catholic
Church; they will say, we have succeed
ed in sending our legions to emancipate
the negroes of the SoHth when we had
no right; we sent our army to Syria to
fight for the Holy Land; now let Peter
the Hermit make another crusade against
the Church of Rome.

A FOURTH OF JULY ROAR.
Extracts from a Speech delivered by
William Allen, December 10, 1858.

Three years ago this country was free:
the country was prosperous, and over
every acre of its soil there prevailed law
and order, peace and happiness. And
then, after few more Introductory re-
marks in keeping with the first sentence
uttered. he continued Instead of the
security which this (peace) gave, and
which was enjoyed by every citizen, we
are now endangered for no other crime
than for our opinions to have our houses
entered at midnight by armed men, and
our people taken off to be tried-not be-
fore jury, but before military inquisi-
ton, and for the crime of think
ing. and condemned to exile.
Now what do they (the North) want
to do? They want TO bring the negroes
back to the North, to make room for
them, to send as many white men of our
people as they can to the war, to be
killed. Now, my friends, never justi-
fed this rebellion, nor did l ever justify
the intermeddling spirit that gave being
to this rebellion. These abolitionists say
slavery is the cause of the war; l say it
is not. They say slavery ought to be ex-
terminated; | say it ought not. Cheers
Now, my friends, 1 tell you that new
er justified this resort to arms, because l
have believed that if one more appeal
had been made to the public sense, the
DEMOCRATIC party would have acquired
sufficient strength to have prevented
this terrible disaster.
The Chicago platform was a declara-
ton of war and hostility to the South, as
being the owners of slaves. That plat
form was the true origin of this war
When they advanced that platform and
placed their candidate upon it, the South
saw that their safety consisted in resist
ing his election at the polls, and the
whole fifteen States voted in solid body
against him. Now Mr.. Lincoln, be it re-
membered, came in as the first President
upon sectional question.
What could the South dor The North
had shown that it not only had the pow
er of seizing on the whole country, but
the government and the South barely
stood by, knowing what they had to sx-
act at the hands of their masters. What
could the South do if Lincoln and his
gang chose To mass laws to abolish slave

Dear Sir-I have heard from very many sour

of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint,
Catarrh, and other diseases of kindred nature.

VEGETINE to be the most reliable remedy for
Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
many years, and at times very badly. She has
thoroughly tried every supposed remedy that
we could hear of, and with all this she has for
several years been gradually growing worse,
and the discharge from the head was excessive
and very offensive.
She was in this condition when she COM
menced to take VEGETINE; 1 could see that
she was improving on the second bottle. She
continued taking the VEGETINE until she had
used from Twelve to fifteen bottles l am now
happy in informing you and the public III you
choose to make it public that she is entirely
cured, and VEGETINE accomplished the cure
after nothing else would. Hence feel justified
in saying that VEGET1NE is the most reliable
remedy, and would advise all suffering human
ity to try it, for believe it to be good, honest,
vegetable medicine, and shall not hesitate to
recommend it. am, etc., respectfully,

Defrees of the Miami Union, was on
the stage when Allen made his speech to
the Convention, and here is what he
thinks of it:
Governor Aliens speech to the Demo.
cratic Convention in response to his nom
ination was undoubtedly the most dis
graceful performance ever. enacted by
any Governor. His low, vile abuse of
the Republican party stamps him one of
the lowest and most vulgar demagogues
in the State. So low and disgusting
were his remarks that we have yet to
find the first member of his party, who
makes any pretentions to character and
decency above pot-house blackguard,
attempt to justify them. That speech
alone ought to lose him twenty thousand
votes in the State. Governor Hayes
would not descend to so "low deep" il
thereby he could secure the Presidency"

Phases Of Cruelty.

1t is said that the French novelist, Eu
| gene Sue, had morbid love for cruel
and bloody scenes. He never failed to
be present at an execution when it was
IN his power to attend; and with his
| opera-glass he watched the countenance
OF the doomed man with keenness of
interest he never felt in an opera. He
once made a journey to England, only to
be present at disgraceful fogging scene /;
and one of the great regrets of his life
was, that he was never permitted to see
the Russian knout applied.
One wonders what the childhood of
such man must have been. To whose
molding hand did he owe this terrible
craving for bloody scenes and fearful
sights which curdle the blood of even
very common humanity? 1t is more
than likely that familiarity with such
scenes from very early years had made
him callous to human suffering. This
disposition. however formed, would no
doubt have made him, in another line of
life, as notorious for crime and cruelty as
he was for lax morality in his works.
lad was once out walking with his
sister, when they found a nest of tiny
rabbits. The little girl was greatly
pleased, but the boy, despite her tears
and pleadings, cruelty killed them all,
tossing them high in the air, and laugh
ing to see them fall on the rough, sharp
stones.
Ten years rolled away, and that sister
was again weeping by her brothers side.
This time he, too, was weeping. Oh,
such bitter tears! On his wrists were a
pair of fetters, and he was waiting for the
officers to enter, who were to escort him
to the scaffold.

more trustworthy and emphatic. The
record is of the Republican party, the
party whose ascendancy has been jeop
ardized by the apathy and neglect of Re
publicans Such a record illustrates the
admirable fitness of the party to deal
with the questions which bear so deeply
on the country's welfare. When the
Democratic party was put aside as un-
trustworthy and disloyal, the country
was about to enter conflict designed to
rend asunder the Union of the fathers,
and introduce the legality of slavery un-
der a new constitution. The world has
grown indignant at the bare idea of hui
man bondage; and all Christendom Joined
in the cry for its suppression. In the
Great Republic of the West, the people of
the free States had caught the spirit of
freedom, and were prepared to check the
progress of slavery by limiting its area.
1t was actually moribund ON the eve of
expiring by reason of its wasteful expen-
siveness, confined as it was. For slave
labor could never be skilled and the
loss of fertility in the soil, the direct re-
suit of slave culture, could not be re-
newed for lack of means. The discovery
of the costliness of unpaid labor because
unskilled, urged the slave owners to seek
new territory to exhaust, and to build
ties devoted to liberty The Republican
party opposed the scheme of the slave
owners; and the slave owners having ap-
pealed to arms, lost their cause. while
the slave obtained his freedom under Re-
publican principles.
How slavery, while it existed, affected
the social and intellectual condition of
the South, is to be seen in its history. 1t
demanded the prevalence of common
sentiment in its favor, at any hazard.
Fears of servile insurrection was never
absent The pulpit was forced to uphold
the doctrine of human bondage, and say
that the right to enslave the black man
was of Divine sanction. A clergyman
might have the zeal of an apostle, the
faith of Wesley, and the eloquence of a
Whitfield; but unless he made slavery as
prominent as the salvation of the soul,
he lost caste. The bench and the bar
were subjected to the same ordeal, and
the fame of the judge and the advocate
depended upon the devotion he showed
to the beauties of human bondage Col
legiate institutions were founded in the
interest of slavery. The most learned
professors were those who could most
deeply impress the students with the alb
solute commission of the white to enslave
the black by the Power which rules on
