Our astute contemporary has made
the astonishing discovery that several
of the members of the Committee on
Resolutions of the late Democratic
State Convention once acted with the
Republican party. No other paper
hss the news. But our nighbor seems
to forget that that was at time when
the Republican party was called and
professed TO be the "Union party"
and declared its sole purpose to be to
prosecute the war .'to preserve the
Union with all the riyAts, ,dignity and
equality Of the sereral States uni,R-
paired, and when these objects are
accomplished the war ought to cease
When this Radical Grant party gave
indubitable evidence that all their
promises in this respect were false
and delusive, and that the party of
Intelligence and great moral ideas had
become the tool OF the ring robbers
and plunderers and lent itself to the
money and manufacturing monopo-
lists to plunder the people in the name
of loyalty and patriotism, hosts Of
men cut themselves loose from the
rotten concern, and still the work Of
disintegration goes steadily on. 1t is
strange that our neighbor has SO long
closed his eyes to that fact, a.s

Republican Co. Ratification Meeting

| Republican Co. tsatificatiOh Meeting
On Saturday last Republican dele
gates frem every township in the
! county, except Democratic Suflield,
met at Citizens Hall, Ravenna, to once
/ m ore bew in solemn but never failing
obedience to the sweet and fascinating
! vet commanding tones of the "Organ.'
Grand, gloomy and peculiar stood the
Junior savior of our Union in the
| midst Of his devoted followers, kindly,
almost reverentiy (always touchingly)
indicating his wishes. Qnick were
they 10 do the bidding of their Moses.
Those aspiring ones, whom the Gods
lad deemed OF too little Importance to
be informed OF the divine rulings to
be promulgated OH Convention day,
as soon as the eilulsent rays of the
smile sniole from The face of the son
of his father reached them, quietly
withdrew and the organ" continued
its music to the tune of the same ''Old
hundred" and ground out the nomina-
and regularly gathered their pay from
the county for lie last few years, more
OF less.
Lastly the grim, grizzly s'would be-
anything good Lord (anything for
oflice) who was made Chairman OF
the Convention, called for the report
of the Committee on Resolutions.
The Chairman Of that Committee ad
vanced and casting one glance at the
Chairman, the next at the "center of
gravity" in tremulOus "impromptu"
tones, proceeded to request of the
sscenter" the privilege of asking the
convention if he might request him to
read the report: General consent was
given-'Twer treason otherwise-and
the report was read. Shaking of heads
and other appearance of dissent were
apparent, but when the followers re-
membered the choice and elegant Ian
guage they had perused in the ''organ"
for so many years, the authorship of
the resolutions became apparent to
them and were passed unanimously
They are substantially after the fol-
lowing style:
Resolped THAT if it had not been
for the patriotism of the Democrats
the war would have lasted much
longer, which would have enabled the
party to hayc ruined the
country and stolen to their hearts con-
tent.
.. That Beecher is not guilty.
3. The man who says anything
against james a. Garfield is liar and
q trief.
4. That Democrats have no rights
that we will respect.
). That because the Democrats wish
to save the country by turning us out
Of Office, we dcnounce them as
traitors.
6. We repeat it, Beecher is not !
guilty.
Z. Though we fought for the nigger |
,n the same ground, should the Dem
,crats favor the equality of Catholics |
,eiore The law, we will and do de.
louuce them and charge them with
'eiug guilty of treason.

In the days Of Jackson, National
Bank with capital Of $35, ,OOO, 600 and
with but enc branch in each State was
regarded by the people IS . great
monopoly, dangerous TO the liberty OF
the American people, and in the con-
test of the Old Hero of the Hermitage
with that institution he was sustained
by the people. and the .menopolists
were compelled to surrender, and for
nearly q quarter of century the ques.
tien of the revival of the United States
Bank was pronounced by all parties
."an obsolete issue." But no sooner
do the opponents Of the Democracy
obtain power than they organize q
grand National Banking scheme, with
. capital of $4OO. .OOO, 900, and are en-
deayoring to retire the entire legal.
tender currency issued by the Govern
ment and to increase the National
Bank capital, and give to that great
monopoly the entire control of the
financial affairs of the nation. II an
United States Bank with a capital Of
only S35,OOO,OOO was a dangerous in
stitution, is it safe to create and foster
in our midst system Of Banks and
clothe them with the power of con-
trolling the entire financial affairs of
the country? The truth is, the old
issues Of the past are still alive; the
have ne intention of sur
but are determined to secure
the power of controlling the affairs Of
the people.

champions Of the Crusade and sngraft-
ed in their platform strong temper
ance plank. Now, they are pitching
int and roundly beratiug Sam. Carey
for being temperance man, though
they know he was not in favor of the
crusade movement. They are in a
terrible straight, and are bidding high
for votes upon both sides of the liquor
question. In their platform they play
mann, and advocate temperance where
they think that game will win, and
anti-tempeeance where they hope to
gain advantage from such course
This is the party that "never goes back
on its principles!

The Presidents Salary.

The Ohio Democratic Convention
adopted for one OF its planks, one
term for President and the restoration
of the salary to $4,000. The Presi-
dent has already declared pretty en-
phatically that he not only opposes
one term but that he fayors three
terms, and now comes the Chicago
Tribune and inveighs against reducing
the salary. g The Iribane argues that
$50, 900 now is no more than SO, 900
in the days of Washington, Madison,
ETC., and that if the Presidents salary
now should only be SD 900, in the
early days of the Republic it should
not have exceeded $I2,5O0. The Re-
publican party, therefore, not enly
shoulders the indefinite lease OF power
but also the Presidential salary grab
In the earlier days of the Republic
the cost of living was less than at the
present time. SO much is true Ii Is
also true that in addition to the salary
OF the President The present cost Of
tho White House expenses are at least
one hundred Thousand dollars per
ailnuia. In the days of Washington,
Madison, eic., the White House ex-
penses did not exceed ten thousand
dollars The salary is now the small
est portion of the President expenses
while formerly il covered almost the
entire cost. :ri:a...-aat .t..,..,... ..-
Moreover, when President is elect
ed at given salary. there is An implied
contract that he will serve without an
increase. This is especially enforced
by the TACT that il is illegal to. reaiuce
the Presidents salary during his term
and il is a trite saying that il is ''a
poor rnle which does not work both
ways The increase OF GeH. rants
salary was accomplished by II shabby
trick, and when the popular inaigna-
tion demanded Congress to repeal the
salary grab, the people designed TO
include the Presidents grab also.--iSt

The difference Between the Demo.
Gratis and the Republicans on the tariff
question is that the former il in favor
of tariff soly fer the purpose Of reve-
nue., while the latter are in favor of q
tariff for protection with incidental
revenue. True, the Republican plat
form says "a tariff for revenue with
incidental protection" but their works
speak louder than their words and
show that they are In favor Of tariff

enrich few lsrdIy Eastern manufac-

There is to be an important convocation al
Raleigh, n. O., on the 18th Of July next II
Will be Cotton Congress, to be composed OF
men representing the cotton-g growing portions
OF the United States. All agricultural socie-
Ties in the South, and all State and local
oranges are expected to send delegates, and
the proceedings cannot fail to be highly inter-
esting. Although cotton may not really be
king, as 1t was once declared to be, in the
sense of an absolute monarch, it exerts DOW
srful influence in the nation, and there are no
more important questions than those connect
cd with the growth and transportation and
manufacture Of cotton. These questions will
be considered in the congress al Raleigh by
men whose experience and ability qualify
them for their proper discussion, and it may
be expected that great deal of light will be
thrown upon some very important subjects.
The question of increased production will
naturally arise in its two aspects-whether in
creased production will pay, and how it can
hest be secured. The labor problem must en-
Der largely into the discussion OF the question,
and some highly valuable information ought
10 be educed in this connection. Exchange.
