The conscience of the Times is sufi-
GENTLY elastic to allow it to misrepresent
the facts as to Judge Calvert in every is
sue, but its conscience is not sufficiently
to enable it to say to the
people that Sam. J. Huston is worthy to
be elected to the Office he is standing for,
or that he is deserving of the confidence
of the public.
The silence of the Times as to the |
merits of Sam. j Huston is ominous. As
it has never spoken of his having any
merits for the Office he seeks, we infer
he has none.
One of the advocates of more money
was put in Jail the other day. He was
an infationist like Drake, only he took
different way to increase the circula-
ton of currency from that pointed out
by Drake.
IMPoRTANT NoTICE TO LITIGANTs. j
would respectfully announce to all man
kind that l propose to attend Litigants
business for the one-half of the fees
usually charged l shall endeavor to de-
serve q liberal share of the practice,
and solicit your esteemed patronage.
Yours truly. J. w. MASON,
Attorney at Law, West Union, o.
The above notice appeaas in the Peo-
pies Defender. Whenever an attorney
finds it necessary to advertise in the
above manner, his services would be en-
tirely too costly, if rendered gratis.
We know of but two persons who are
infallible-.Pius TX, and Drake, of the
Portsmouth Globe. There is slight
d ifference, however, in the infallibility
of the two. The Pope is infallibly right,
and Drake is infatlibly wrong. We had
some lingering ideas that imitation might
be right, until brakes Globe took it up,
and now we know it is wrong. Drake
and the Cincinnati Enquirer are on a
par.
Anything they support we know to be
wrong.
We attended the Democratic Senate
rial Convention on Wednesday. 1t is
plain that 1. T.. Monahan was not the
choice of the convention, and for long
time and in the course of much ballot
ing the majority OF the convention tried
to avoid Monahan's nomination. Pike
county was not represented in that con-
vention. Adams had 16 delegates. Jack,
son 10; and Scioto 28 Scioto county
having no candididate, held the balance
of power. Adams offered Gaskins, and
gave her l6 votes for him, Jackson gave
her 19 votes for Monahan, and Sciotc
voted % for Emmitt, and for Monahan
This kind of balloting was kept up fol
some time. Scioto then offered the nom
ination to Irvine DUNCAN, of jackson
and he would have gotten it, had there
been any of his friends present, but the
delegates from Jackson were determined
to crowd him off the track, and did so
Scioto then offered the place to DR.
Pidgeon and to j. w. Shinn, of Adams
and both declined, and it was only as
: last resort, and for fear of destroyin,
harmony, that Scioto cast its 2S vote
for l. L. Monahan, and nominated him
1t was only a choice between the fryin
pan and the fire, and as DR.. Gaskins wa
considered the fire, the convention chos
the frying pan. Then Monahan wa
called on to make speech, and respond
ed in very unhappy vein. He confesse
the sin of not having voted for Greele
and craved pardon. Said he had hear
D a number of Democrats say they woul
: not vote for Gen. Cary, (who was presen
in the convention and listening) becaus
of things he had done in the past. H
l then proceeded to reprobats this spir
in the Democracy, and proceeded to sa
l a great many things which were in ba
taste, and disgusting to his hearers.
q he will repeat the same speech over tn
: district he will disgust Democrats, an
make Republican votes every time.
That chief of mobocrats and blathe
sixties, Sam F. Cary, spoke here o
t Wednesday night, and such torrent
n blackguardism, of lying, of demagoguer,
r has not been poured fourth in this cit
n in many day. The speech seemed il
tended to arouse the worst passions {
the mass of persons out of employmen
/ against those who had saved anything.
We hope providence will spare US sue
s another visitation. Floods, the arm
e worms, and grasshoppers, are bad, but
y inhict speech from Sam Cary on con
munity, is infinitely worse.
