ANOTHER LARGELAND SALE

~ 4
Mr.. +. W. Wallbaum, of Chicogo, a
wealthy German, arrived in Worthing-
ton Oh Friday night last to look at
land. After looking over most of tie
lands recently purchased by Mr.. F. G.
Taylor, Mr.. Wallbaum purchased Los
acres 1T an average of about $3.50 per
acre. The lands purchased are. all of
section 2S and the east half Of section
II in Elk, the northwest quarter of Sec
tion 3 III Worthington, and all of Sec
tion 8 i'll Indian Lake,.
Mr.. W. has a large family and pro-
poses supplying each member with a
farm. Next spring lie designs engaging
in stock raising on an extensive scale
and fully occupying the lands pur-
chased. He also wishes to join with
other parties in building Il large cheese
factory. Mr.. W. represents some 25 to
30 German families who will arrive next
spring and settle in the National Colo
ny. They are all Germ III Methodists
and thorough temperance men. Most
of them are men of means and all pro-
pose engaging in stock raising.
Mr.. Wallbanm saw the grasshOppers
ut the worst and thickest, but he
laughed ut the thought of fearing the
pests, for it is grass lie wants to feed
his cattle lie says: ''Vat for you
preak up all de prairie, and trow away
de seed for the grasshopper, ven Gott
make lie grass grow himself for lie cat
tie and de Sleeps" There is a great
deal of practical sense in this remark,
and it is not too late to give it good
heed.

Col. Brown at His Old Home.

To the Editor Scioto Gazette
1t is well to give at once, if you
have anything to contribute for the
benefit of those that are deserving,
and not withhold your offerings un-
til it is too late to be of service or
acceptable. to those for whom it may
be intended.
I have only one vote to give, but
that vote shall go freely to our solid,
worthy, gentlemanly friend, Col. A. L.
Brown, of Ross county, who I am
pleased to know was nominated by
acclamation for Congress, at Hills
boro. A "single vote" is not much
to offer, yet coming from Democrat
it should be the more priszd. I am
not alone in this Offering; there are
scores of people in Deerfeld who are
loyal Democrats that will cast their
votes for Col. Brown, who is well and
favorably known in this township. In
fact his name is ''household word
here. He is honored as ''man in
whom there is no guile" His gener-
al department as State Senator has
endeared him to many who have re-
quired his services in that capacity,
and as friends of his, we rejoice in his
nomination, and sincerely hope that
he will be elected, as we have un-
bounded confidence in his integrity
and ability to fill the position the
people propose to honor him with. A
majority of two hundred votes in a
Democratic district is quite enough to
show his popularity rs State Sen
ator, and we predict for him in the
coming contest q much larger ma
jority.
We are pleased to know that the
time has come when solid Democrats
with Republicans, will lay aside all
party prejudices and vote for the
man with an unimpeachable charac-
ter. Honest, sober, modest, gentle
manly Brown-long may you live as
our model Representative. B.

Smart.

A special Columbus dispatch to
the Cincinnati Times of Saturday
night says:
State School Commissioner Smart,
after several weeks has returned. He
informs his friends that the scandal
published in the Sandusky Register,
copied in another paper, had its on
gin in enmity, arising against him
on account of his opposition to an
Ohio schooLbook ring.
Smart lies. The Register has no
connection, direct or indirect, with
any school-book ring. 1t does not
even know that there is such a ring,
and it did not base its structures
upon his scandalous conduct in this
city upon information obtained from
any person in any way connected
with the school book trade. Smart's
conduct here was the subject OF
street gossip and he cannot hide be-
hind any school-book ring, agent or
firm. II he is innocent of the charges
of improper conduct in this city, he
has a remedy in a court of law. He
knows that he is not, and hence his
silly falsehood that choolbook ring
is at the bottom of the charges made
against him. But we have still an
other dose for Smart, and there is no
school-book ring at the bottom OF 1t.

How Dickey was Nominated.

Uric Sloane, as Chairman of the Dem
ocratic Congressional Convention, held at
Hillsboro, July 10, instead of acting i'm
partially towards all the candidates that
were in nomination and to be put in nom-
ination, before that Convention, as wss his
duty, showed the greatest partiality as
against Neal and all the other candidates.
Salem township, of Highland county,
sent two delegates, instructed as follows:
''To vote for a Highland county candi-
date if there was one put in nomination
that in their judgment was worthy of the
office" These instructions were given in
view that Rhoades and Shepherd would
both be candidates before the Convention.
Shepherd withheld his name because of his
present health, and Rhoades was tricked
out of getting his name before the Conven-
ton by the managers of Dickey's interests
1t thus happened that Dickey's name
alone was before the Convention from
Highland county. The two delegates from
Salem township, not considering Dickey
''worthy of the Office" voted for Neal OIL
the 1st ballot. ]. c. Springer then made a
motion, that the Chairman of the Highland
county delegation should cast the two votes
of Salem township for Dickey.
The delegates of Salem township had
their certificates of election read, which
were as I have before stated Sloane de-
cided that the Chairman of the Highland
county delegation should vote for Salem
township. The Chairman of the delega-
ton, John L. Hughes, did SO, and voted
Salem township from that time on for
Dickey. Thus the delegates of Salem town
ship were DISTINGUISHED, and left the Con-
vention.
There never was so unjust, dishonorable
and disgraceful decision made in Dem
ocratic Convention, as every sensible man
knows the delegates of Salem township
were voting according to their written in
structions, and if they were not, were only
responsible TO their constituents, the Dem
ocrats of Salem township.
1t is not uncommon for delegates to vote
contrary to their instructions, but who
ever heard of the Chairman of a Conven-
ton disfranchising delegate for voting
according to instructi0ns? Such an assump-
ton of power never was heard of,in this
country among Democrats Let not the
Democrats say anything about ''centraliza-
ton" or zone man power" if they coun-
tenance such decision, of Chairman of
their Convention.
1 have heard a number of the old, life
long Democrats here say, that it was
great abuse of power and wrong, and would
not be submitted to. say most positively,
had such means been resorted to by three
or four of my special friends, as in this
case, would not accept the nomination,
and 1 appeal to the Democrats in this dis
trict, can you have any confidence in a
man to represent you, that will accept
nomination made by trickery, injustice and
fraud? LzlzN.-- HENRY RHOADES.

Judicial Convention.

The Judicial Convention held at
Greenfield last week, nominated Col.
Fl. B. Maynard, of Fayette, for the
long term, and Capt. T. A. Minshall,
of Ross, for the short term. Both
are able lawyers, and gentlemen of
unexcepticnable private character,
well fitted to discharge the response
BILE duties of the Judgeship. The
proposition to make no nomination
for the long term, with the under
standing that the Democrats would
make none for the short term, had
many friends in the Convention, but
there was also strong opposition to
that policy, and it was deemed best
for the sake of harmony, to nominate
a full ticket.

party within ten years than there
have been men murdered by the In

drawn from the South entirely"

Henry Rhoades's plain and unan-
swerable exposure of the trickery of
the Democratic Convention, publish
ed in last weeks News, and his an
nouncement as an independent can
didate for Congress, produced de-
cided sensation in political circles
His determination to vindicate his
manhood by refusing to submit to
the unfair treatment he has received,
and appealing to the love of honesty
and fair play among the rank and
file of his party, is generally approx
ed, and no doubt he will receive the
support of hundreds of honest Dem
ocrats in the District, when they
come to know the real facts of the
case.

Dickey and the Turnpikes.
HOW HE ALLOWED CONTRACTORS TO SWIM
DIE THE COUNTY.

DIE THE COUNTY.
LYNcHBURa, o., Aug. IA, 1876.
EDITOR News Il notice by the
tone of Dickey organs of the district,
they are laboring to prove, that the
only dissatisfaction that exists, is
among the pike contractors, who
have failed to secure contracts,
hence are down on Dickeyl They
are laboring to prove what is false,
and they know it. When the con-
tract was let on the Lynchburg and
McCarty's School House pike, run
ming through Jacksonville, and to the
East Fork of the Little Miami, north
of Lynchburg, one Mr.. Campbell
was the contractor. The spec aca-
tions called for "a feel grade at
the top, 1 foot height, and i feet
slant height.
Mr.. Dickey had been appointed
Engineer of the county by the Com
missioners, and if I am correctly in
formed, he had charge of the entire
field. One of the citizens of our
village was appointed by the same
authority, to look after the contrac
tors, and see that they filled the
specifications. He had been on duty
but short time before he called the
attention of Mr. Dickey to the fact,
that the grade did not fill the meas
ure, either in height or width. Mr..
Dickey said, ''They would do that in
finishing" and that was all the salts
faction they ever got out of him.
He never even called the attention
of the Commissioners to the fact,
His attention was repeatedly called
to the fact above stated, but with the
same result.
Thus this Grand Mogul allowed
the contractors, under his very eyes,
to violate The specifications, and
never even lifted his voice in protest.
The grading, McAdamizing, gravel
ing, and bridging, were all far be-
hind what the contractors had SOL
emnly bound themselves to do.
Nothing was done, that should have
been done, and the Hon. Dickey
winked at the whole thing.
The price paid to the contractors
was enormous, and yet in spite of all
this, they must come the "hocus-p -po-
Gus" on the tax payers. By thus
doing, they have swindled the citi-
zens along the line out of thousands
of dollars, TO put it into their own
pockets.
The consequence of their iniqui-
tous doings is very manifest. At
the present writing, I don't know of
a dozen Democrats in this township
who will support Mr.. Dickey. OF
course he will get more than that,
but he will run nearly if not quite
hundred votes behind in this town
ship alone. Dickey is cursed here,
morning, noon and night, not only
for his pike administration, but for
his intemperance. We think here,
that he would not only disgrace the
District, but the State.
I shall give more of the "true in
wardness' of this thing during the
campaign. Till then give the Piky
Dickey no quarter VERITAS.

The Scioto Gazette tries to make
it appear that Hon. Henry L. Dick
ey, the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress, was not fairly nominated by
the Hillsboro Convention, and there
fore, very large number of Demo
Gratis will not support him. All of
which is without foundation or truth.
We are aware that there are few
Democrats in the District who claim
that the nomination of Mr.. Dickey
was the result of fraud, but they are
very few. The Gazette will find out
when the election comes off that it
is badly mistaken. We predict that
Mr.. Dickey will carry the District by
a largely increased majority.- Wa
verify Watchman.
The Watchman is undertaking a
very large contract when it under
takes to prove that Mr.. Dickey re-
ceived the Democratic nomination.
Of course there are many Democrats
here who will vote for Mr.. Dickey
because he is on the ticket, but we
have the first one to meet yet who
claims that he got on by fair means.
There are others many of them,
too-who look beyond the mera fact
that the name is on the ticket, at the
trick by which it came there, and
will not vote for him. So far from
Mr.. Dickey being able to carry the
District by an increased majority, he
will shave to hustle" if he carries it
at all, even if he is not forced off the
ticket before the election, to give
place to some person who can at least
present an honest nomination.

After all we are not in as bad a
condition as we thought we were.
Last year the national debt was re-
duced about thirty millions. There
must have been some economy prac-
tised, or we would not be able to
make such a good financial showing.
We wonder if the Democrats could
do any better than the Republicans
have done, if they were restored to
power.
