THE Democracy carried Ohio last fall
by majority Of 1902. The personal
popularity Of Gov. Allen and his une1-
ceptional administration Of affairs will
increase that majority this fall. Hayes
third term aspirations, in conjunction
with Gen. Grants aspirations in the same
direction, will increase the majority 20,
900 more. Grants force bills and other
odious measures of the late Congress
will cause Uncle Williams majority to
rise up about 10000 higher. This will
be 10000 majority. To that may be
added "ten per cent for profit and loss"

Hon. S, S. Cox, member Of Congress
from New York City, and formerly NJ. c.
from the Columbus district in this State,
was in attendance at our State Conyen-
ton last week, and addressed an i'm
mense audience in City Hall on Wed,
nesday evening. His admirable speech
will be found in this paper. We hope
Mr.. Cox will favor our State with few
speeches during the canvass. 1t will be
seen that he advises against being too
straight.faced, and favors extending the
friendly hand and soliciting and in
ducing the cooperation of all good citi-
zens who are tired Of corrupt radical
Grant rule.

Our opinion Of political platforms IS
well known. As general thing they
are mere traps to catch gulls Candi'
dates are chosen, and platforms of prin-
ciples laid down in direct opposition to
the convictions and record of those can.
ddates The candidates are to be voted
for, and the platform to De trodden under
foot
A party should no more DC judged by
its "platform" than man by his protes-
sions. The acts Of the individual are
often in direct violation of his profess
sions, and the louder the professions the
more likely his acts to be in opposition
It is the same with political parties. They
lay down platforms with the express in
tention of breaking them up as useless
lumber as soon as the candidates have
mounted into place by their aid. A
party, like an individual, must be judged
by its acts rather than BY its words,
--C2eveaad HeraN (RepadLiean).
This last remark is undoubtedly true,
and hence it is that the people Of the
United States do now, as they ever have,
judge the party in power by its acts.
They have been in power in all branches
of the government for some fifteen years,
and assuredly are responsible for the
present condition OF things. They have
legislated for the few and against the
Misunderstanding values for the benefit
of the former. In all this, labor and
honest business arc the sufferers. The
first operation was by initiation and run
ming into debt, thus involving the coun-
try, in debt two or three times larger
than it should have been. The next
swindling step was the act Of March,
1860, declaring the $50 bonds payable
in specie. Having thus inflated and
saddled upon the country an enormous
Indebtedness, the party leaders in power
have been engaged in rapidly contract
ing, again beneftting by millions, the
same class that proftted by the previous
process
Now, the Democratic doctrine is that
Congress has no Constitutional right to
disturb values. Some thirty years ago
we secured full control Of the General
Government. and entirely abandoned
paper money and the protective sys-
tem." When the radical leaders got
into power all this was changed. The
paths of justice were abandoned-values
were disturbed by law. Initiation ran
things riotously and favored the money
lender The policy has continued to
'avor him. 1t is time to change all this
md return to truth justice and the Con-
,titution. This is what the people mean
,y the late elections.

WE elsewhere publish John H. TripP's S
withdrawal from the Judicial contest in
this district. The Judge says: "lnas-
much as the Republicans Of Columbiana
county have, in conformity to the estab-
lished rule OF the party, emphatically de-
cided that Carroll county need not vote
on the choice of a candidate &c. So
far az the Republicans Of Columbiana
county" are concerned, their vote on the
5th inst. was an exception to the rule re-
lrred to. They always, heretofore,
stood by Mr. Trip, and thereby were
not responsible for the defeat OF Carroll
county's candidate. We, however, COM
mend Mr.. Trips wisdom in withdraw
ing from the contest. 1t will do hun no

Saw him coming and the team running
away. When Boothby found him he was
holding on to his left arm to keep it from
bleeding. Boothby saw that Willie was
so weak from the loss of blood that he
had relaxed his grasp, so he would have
bled to death in moment or two but for
his wonderful presence of mind. He
pulled off one of his strong rubber sus-
penders and bound around his arm sufi.
GENTLY tight to stop the bleeding, then
carried Willie toward the house until met
by one of the teams returning for hay.

and pay it over, as they would have
collected the taxes for 1874, before
now, if their hands had not been stayed
by Law. No one has a right to use one
dollar of the school tax money for 1875
for any purposes whatever except to pay
the teachers for 1856. It is not re
spectacle nonsense for anybody to pre-
tend that the school money can be used
for the payment of old debts.
We have but few schools in operation
rs vet, but we hope the commissioners
in every district in the county win open
them Immediately. The taxes for the
present year will be on hand with which
to pay the teachers. AS have lost all
the fall months, three months winter
schools viii answer now. Let us have
them all over the county.
It will be seen that the personal prop
erty of the county is put down at $17S,-
$50 This means taxable personality
One thousand dollars in personal estate
is exempt from taxation in the hands of
each person, and only the excess is as
sessed. 1t is probable that if all the
personally was assessed the amount
would equal or exceed in value the land.
At a rough guess we should think Haw-
kins county is worth five or six millions
of dollars. We are not such dreadful
poor folks after ALL The county will
be worth thrice as much ten years from
now.
