free Whisky" and the
Ho oh an 4 aw

EDITOR NEWS when read the fourteenth, or
"free whisky" resolution of the Democratic plat
form, knew 1t contained bait for certain class of
persons, (voters.)
Was 1t for the liquorites? No, for have heard
1t said they have monopoized that class of persons
already. Who then can it be for? Perhaps some
of the delegates of the Convention had read the
articles of two of your correspondents, and were
fishing for them and persons of like belief
The Democratic party is cunning and willy. 1t
hugged slavery to Its bosom to help it into office
until it was dead. 1t now wishes to swim into
Office on free whisky drinking, or "no sumptuary
laws" as they very cunningy phrase it.
Some of our sages think that coming events arc
casting their shadows before; and, like the girl
that wanted two beats for her fiddle, they also are
courting Catholicism, and some think that the
Geghan law looks like they were about ready to
"prcpose."
am certain that the word Espionage" would
never have found its way into the ''free whisky
resolution if our Crusading ladies could cote. This
infer from the reading of the third resolution,
where equal protection is promised to the negro,
even IL he had once been slave. The reason is he
has a Uotc now.
As the Democratic party of Ohio have given their
power and influence on the side of whisky drinking
and against Temperance, cannot see how Tenn
perance worker can vote for any of its nominees,
even if he processes be friend to the cause of
Temperance FLORA.

The FRATERNITY LOOKING UP.-Jo.
Eylar, of the West Union Defender,
has been nominated for Representa-
tive by the Democracy of Adams
county. 10. is a frst-rate fellow
personally, has worked hard for his
party, and deserves the compliment
he has received. We can't say we
hope he will beat his Republican op-
ponent, but should he be elected, we
have no doubt he will ably and faith
fully represent his constituents.
Our old friend and fellow-typo,
Tom Spence, of Paint tp., received
the Democratic nomination for Re-
corder of this county last Saturday,
over seven or eight competitors. The
in our opinion, picked
out the best man in the lot, for that
position, and we almost regret that
he is doomed to be defeated by that
excellent Republican, Geo. Stevens.

Senator Shepherds letter to the
Chillicothe Advertiser, published in
another column, will no doubt create
some surprise, and will be hailed by
his friends as satisfactory evidence
that he is recovering rapidly, and
will probably be able to take the
field for reelection. His indomita-
BILE spirit is admirable, and it has un-
doubtedly contributed much to his
almost miraculous recovery. We
hope his anticipations as to his
health may be fully realized, and
that he may be renominated, though
we shall feel bound to oppose his re-
election.

THE VENEZUELAN SUFFERERs-We suggest that
a contribution box be placed at every post-ofce to
receive contributions of money for the sufferers by
the terrible earthquake in Venezuela. Almost every
one can give or 10 cents, and not feel it, and the
amount thus raised, would, in the aggregate, be
very large. Postmasters will no doubt cheerfully
take charge of the money, and forward it to Judge
Russell, American minister, at Caracas, Venezue-

this suggestion without delay

has noticed that every IA years we have forty days
rain in summer, and that this is the 14th year
since the last wet season, which was in 1861, the

forth we shall have pleasant weather. As Hamlet

Some complaint has been made, (and not with
out reason) of the small attendance at our County
s. S. Conventions, but no such charge can be laid
to our township conventions. When the weather
will permit we always have an audience that would
do credit to County Convention. 1t was resolved
