The Family Ring Exposed.


Mr.. EDITOR article in the
Bulletin two weeks since, headed
Democratic County Convention -
urging the selection of men rs dele
gates who represent "the best inter
est of the communities was a fine
piece of rhetoric, though not the
equal of the speech Of the editor at
Columbus, and led many of us coun-
try democrats to hope that the ''fami-
ly ring" would be just little decent
this year. But no, it was a false, un-
meaning sound. The Convention of
Saturday was run as usual not to
''the best interest Of the communi-
ties," but to the corrupt and selfish
interest of the family. This is
proven by one reference. The
friends Of Mr.. A. R. eating, having
obtained his consent to use his name
for Recorder, and supposing he had
just as good right to be a candidate
as any hanger of the family ring,
presented his name to the Conyen-
tiOn for that office. Mark the re.
suit. No sooner was the name an
nOuEced, than an unusual cOmmotion
was perceived in the family circle.
After Il few seconds of secret talk,
a member of the family hurried away,
and soon was noticed actively en-
gagged with the delegates. By some
power unknown to me, he impressed
the delegates with his views, and Mr..
eating was slaughtered because his
name was not on the family slate
the slate as | have good evidence now
to believe, was prepared and compile
ted days before the Convention met.
Such conventions are fraud upon
the rights of the people, and the
sooner the country democrats take
control of them, ignsring and dry
ing out the corrupt family ring, the
better for the party. 1t will meyer
succeed run by the family as it now
is.
Mr. Editor, my name accompanies
this communication, and you will
recognize it as that of o democratof
long standing. / shall yete the
democratic State ticket, but not the
family county ticket. TRUTH.

Sam. Gary.


If we had said as many bad things
Of the democracy as Sam. Cary mas
done, we should expect to be hung 70
some lamp post, instead of being run
as their candidate for Lieut.. Gov
ernor. We furnish two specimens.
In 1863, at st. Clairsville, he is re-
ported to have opened his speech in
this wise:
ssFellow Cit;zens-The Governor there,
(pointing to Brough) is handling men
with his gloves on. l am going TO take
mine off, and call men and things by
their right names, and | am going to
commence on that damned old scoundrel
of Bill Allen, of Chillicothe."
In this campaign, being associated
with this same Bill Allen, we suppose
he will keep his gloves on.
Here is another extract:
"a Democrat has no right that man
is bound TO respect except the right to
be hanged"
The democrats are now kissing the
hand that thus smote them. Can the
party get any lower? We supposed
it had eat its peck of dirt long ago
but it seems not

A Party Disaster.

The action of the Ohio Democracy,
in the construction of its financial
platform, has planted the seeds OF
selfdestruction in the national or
ganization. Its final dissolution and
burial will occur in 1876, when the
National Convention meets, unless
indeed the Ohio Democracy back
down. In proof of this disaster to
the party, in furthefance of which all
good christians should pray, we quote
from the New Orleans Picayune:
"Wbatever may be our individual
views touching the currency question,
here in Louisiana it must be admitted
by all that the financial plank Of the
Ohio Democratic platform has already
assumed the proportions of party dis
aster. The trouble is not so much that
it divides the party as that the party is
not yet i'm a position to sustain the eff
fects of division.
"We do not believe that the Ohio plat
form can fairly be considered the repre-
sentative platform of the National DEM
ocratic party. 1t is evident TO the most
casual observer that Democratic jour
nails, especially those of the East, Ce-
nounce that platform with vehemence
and indignation. But it seems more
than probable that it will create divis-
ion in the party, and the question is,
Can the Democratic party stand divis-
ion %

From the Pittsburg Commercial.
The New York World says that a
Democrat hates fraud. peeulation, and
corruption as the devil hates holy
water. The hate, then, of his Satan
ic Majesty for holy water can not be
very deep. If his aversion to that
fluid is no greater than that shown by
many Democrats in Office to corrupt
practices, he can bear to be sprinkled
with it every day. Let US see:
Two Democratic Councilmea of
Baltimore expelled for accepting
bribes of $50 and 800. And their
plea was that, although guilty, they
were but pursuing the common prac-
tice of Councilmen. in that Demo
cratic city!
Eight Democratic officials in Gin
cinnati indicted for fraud and cor
rupt management of the City Water
works, and the Mayor implicated in
borrowing the city funds to pay the
expenses of his election!
Three or more Democratic mem
bers of the Ohio Legislature exposed
in selling their votes upon certain
pending bills for 800 apiece.
The Democratic State Treasurer
of Georgia defaulter in a sum near
ly approaching a million.
Eight Democratic County Treasu-
rers in Ohio proved to be defaulters
in large amounts! And Tweed in
Jail, unable to find bail in suits against
him for stealing six millions from the
city of New York, with the World
defending him while the stealing pro
cess was going on!
Democratic Canal Superintendent
McRae indicted in New York for cor
ruption in office.
The whole canal system of New
York under Democratic control, de-
nounced by Gov. Tilden as rotten to
the core, tainted all over with fraud,
and the center of complete system
of stealing hundreds of thousands
from the State annually!
A fraudulent claim of $72, 900, in
which Democratic member of the
House of Representatives was inter
ested was pointed out by Gov. Tilden
in his message upon canal frauds,
and an item in the appropriation bill
to pay this fraudulent claim was
signed and approved by Gov. Tilden
who at first denounced it!
Truly, the hatred of this party to
fraud, peculation and corruption rises
into that region of the sublime which
shades off into the ridiculous.

If the logic of the democratic
press of Ohio be correct, then there
is no doubling the conclusion that
the party, outside of Ohio, is made up
of all the rascals and thieves in the
country. For illustration, the BuLe-
tan says, ''the Credit Mobiler, Salary
Grab, Civil Rights Bill advocates
the Federal charlottesville thin
ble-riggers of the Wall street Ring,
all cry the democratic party of Ohio
must, at all hazards, be beaten in Oc-
tober.'" Now, it is well known to
every reader, that this cry for the de-
feat of the Ohio Democracy comes
from all sections, and almost without
an exception, of the democratic press
outside of Ohio, hence we are to con-
clude that the party outside of Ohio
arc all "thimble riggers of the Wall
street Ring" ETC., etc. We shall not
attempt to disprove the proposition.

TIE editor of the Bulletin, in his
hunt after "a few facts about money! y
should not forget to note this: When
the democratic party went out OF
power in 1860, it left law upon the
statute books, making it a State
prison offense for any Government
disbursing officer to pay out anything
but gold and silver. Another fact
in this connection is that principles,
among democrats at least, are not
eternal. Don't forget these facts,
Mr.. Bulletin.

The Cincinnati Commercial notices
an invention of Mr.. Ross Forward, of
that city, which it styles ga new era
for steam navigation-the speed of
boats to be doubled" The inven-
tion is described as a wheel with
movable paddles, SO arranged as to
feather and cut the water in front,
and, after pushing to the length of
one-fifth the diameter of the wheel,
or to the point where the ordinary
paddle must lift the water in rising,
it feathers again, and rises without
lifting any water, thus giving the en-
tire force of the power ordinarily re-
quired to submerge the paddle on the
one side and lift the incumbent water
upon the other. In short, the whole
force of the engine is given to the
direct push against the water. From
the working of the model it appears
to be perfect thing.

"Camping to Some Purpose. u

''Camping to Some Purpose" !"
We find the following in the
Washington Pa Reporter. Prof.
Adney is so well known in Ohio, as
the gallant Lieutenant Colonel of the
Thlrty-sixth Ohio Volunteers in the
late war, and later still as Professor
of Mathematics in the Ohio Univer-
sity, that the account of the Repor-
ter will have special local interest
to thousands of our readers. The
Reporter says:
Prof. Adney, of our college, starts
to Cumberland Gap, Kentucky to
join the Harvard Scientific camp
which will be established there dur-
ing the months of July and August,
by N 5. Shaler, Professor in Har-
ward University, and State Geologfst
of Kentucky. This camp is upon the
same plan as the scientific school es-
tablished by Agassiz at Penikese,
and numbers in its corps of instruc-
tors some of the most eminent sci
entists, among whom are Prof
Gray, of Harvard, the distinguished
botanist; Prof Whitney, of Yale;
Ralph Pumpelly, Professor of Min
ing at Harvard, and DR.. Robert Pc
ters, our most eminent authority in
chemistry of soils.
Prof. Adney goes to this school un-
der the patronage of DR.. LeMoyne,
who with his accustomed liberality,
contributes the amount necessary to
secure instruction. This expedition
is one of unusual interest, both on
account of the extraordinary rich
ness of the field and the eminent sci
entific ability of those engaged in it;
and it is believed that Washington
and Jefferson, in common with other
institutions represented there, will be
amply compensated by participation
in it.

The Chillicothe Register pricks that
bubble of the democratic orators
''that Gov. Allen had never known
defeat in contest for popular favor. y
The Register shows that of the five
times Gov. Allen has been before the
public for office, he was invited to
rise up twice, and requested to sit
down thrice-and the sit down ma
jorities largely exceeded the rise up
ones.
