ONE would not have minded Mr.. JEFF
fersOn Davis delivering an agricultural
address in Illinois, providing he had not
been at the pains to stick any of his OBJ
sOlete statesIuanship into it. But it
seems Mr. j. Kinball, Secretary, who
wrote to Davis, was ass enough to say:
''And another deeper significance un-
derlin,s our engagement with you; we
sincerely wish to show the country and
the world our purpose and determine
tion to reinstHte talent and statesman

forever prejudice and animosity that are

THE CONTENTION TOMORROW
Present appearances would indicate n
fair attendance at the Republican Coz
vention tomorrow. Three-fourths of
the townships have already reported
delegates, and all will, without doubt, be
represented. There is an earnest, ( Ceter-
mined feeling among Republicans which
betokens the selection of IA strong ticket.
We are rejoiced that such feeling ex-
lists. There are vital issues Mt stake in
the State canvass which makes it neces-
sary fhat the Republicans of Hancock
should have n full vote ont at the COM
ing election. There are more than the
usual number of important county Off
ces to be filed this fall-sOme of them
very important, when we look at them
from'a tax paying standpoint.
The Convention tomorrow, then, has
an important duty TO perform in the Sc
lection of strong ticket. Personal
preferences must, in all eases, give way
for the public good. There is no lack of
good material in the party from which
to select an excellent ticket. And hav-
ing done that. let every good Republican
stand by every man on it, from Repre-
sentative to County Surveyor, and sue
cess will crown our efforts.

ted to him. During the time he stopped

private conversation there, tine very
same ideas stated ia the dispatch he now
disclaims. and admitted that the defeat
OF the Democrats seemed very probable.
SEaF0zE that, in accordance with the
Democratic demand for r-cfe Ioney.the
Government should double tie aiilount
of legal tender notes tomorrow. Into

ey by borrowing it.

WHEN we recall the proud record of
the elder Thomas Ewing, the earlier
course Of the present Thomas; when we
remember his hard-mOney speeches in
the Constitutional Convention, and his
fiery attacks upon Hoadley's greenbaeks,
and general denunciation OF paper cur
rency; when we recall his eloquent and
angry arraignmeBt of the Democratic
party, and his proclaimed apostasy mt
the Liberal Convention in Columbus
two years ago; when we mediate upon
the fact that he is the father of the eur
rency platform in the Democratic plat
form. and that he is now Il loyal Demo
crat, going about the State pleading with
all his old eloquenee for rag mOney;-we
get a little mixed as to who Mr.. Ewing
is and what he is, and what he wants.

Il QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE

There is a note in the Treasury of this
county drawn six months after date,
dated October 26, 1872, signed by Henry
Brown, and endorsed by T. F. Edging-
ton and eight Others, calling for 81 ,094.
This note was due and payable, as will
be noticed from the above dates, April
26, 1873. Mr.. Brown is n candidate be-
fore the people of the county for the of
flee of Prosecuting Attorney.
The law makes it the duty of the Pros
ecuting Attorney TO sue and collect all
debts due the county. The question
then arises, If Henry Browns note lies
in the county treasury uneollected for
two years, when he Henry Brown is
not Prosecuting Attorney, how long will
it lie uncolIected after he is elected, and
it becomes his official duty to collect the
money from himself? An early answer
to the above is requested.

1t will be seen by the above that the

not the Democratic platform makers

MIR. t;ROEsEEcK, as well as Mr.. Pugh,
repudiat@s the Ohio Democratic plat
form, and rrfnS,s 10 iats part in the
campaign. All the decent Eirn in that
party appear to have been silenee1 and
tine blaekguaris have popped into their
places. Thurman, drGesbcet aud Pugh
are sneerrd az; but iruas"aurs like
Cary, Lew. Campbell aud Tom. Ewing

that is great and wonderful.

IL satisfied before his letter was pub
lished. He represents Mr. Thurman as
saying nothing that Is not paipaoIy true,
nothing that does not do the fullest
credit to the Senator's honesty and dis
cernment. 1t is, in fact, just what hon.
est Democrats, in and out OF Ohio, are
saying every day. That Sam Cary Is
blatant demagOgue, L load ana reproaeh
TO the Democratic party, and that the
interference of Catholic priests in poli-
ties will cost the Democratic party
thousands of votes in Ohio are both
propositions as plain as the sun III the
sky. though Mr. Thurman naturally dis
likes 10 be put on record as having said
so He has a thousand reasons for de-
nving the story of that conversation
while our correspondent had not one
reason for telling It except that il was
true ia fact he could not have related
the conversation with its names and
dates if he had not heard il. When,
therefore. our correspondent goes before
a notary. and upon .tiS solemn oath re-
HiiirIns ti,r ..I>olU;, t.uth OF his report,
We ARE constrained Co. say that DOtwith-
standing MIR. Thurrn:inS general dis
claimer we believe the correspondent.
In a question of probabilities between
the oath OF a man whom We know 10 be
honest, and the unattested denial of a
politician who says from the stump that
the Ohio Democratic platform does not
mean imitation, we believe the former.
WE clip from Democratic papers in
this State the following testimonials as
to the character and deserts Of the re-
cent Legislature:
Spirit Of DemocFdcy-''AbOut every
third member has Il liquor bill. Ash

These testimonials will not be forgot
ten 10y the people in making up their
verdict on the members of that Legisla-
ture. Ii will be remembered that one
Mckinley, Of this county, was one of
this body which held such ''profitless
session, " and which became "a stencil
in the public nostrils."

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says that
the Constitution of the State of Ohio
forbids u division of the School fund
which is true. 1t also says that the
Constitution cannot be changed for

Is freshly mine 10 live;
Inc future with sweet promise rife.
And crowns ofjoy TO give.
New words to speak, new thoughts 10 hear
New love to give AID take;
Perchance new burdens may bear.
For loves own sweetest take.
New hopes to open in the sun.
New efforts worth the will,
Or tasks with yesterday begun
More bravely to fulfill.
Fresh seeds for all the time TO be
Are in my hand TO SOW,
Whereby, for others and for me,
Undreamed-o fruit may grow.
In each white dsisy mid the grass
That turns my foot aside,
In each uncurling fern pass
Some sweetest Joy may hide.
And IL when eventide shall fall
In shade across my way.
IL seems that nought my thoughts recall
But life of everyday.
Yet IL each step in shine or shower
