Dear Sir: Among several mis-.
takes in setting up my communica-
ton, l notice three. in the first
sentence of the second paragraph,
which make the whole appear rather
awkward and l have heard some
criticisms upon them.
You will sec by the copy, that 1
wrote, and hence very much of the
dissipation which characterizes the
life of many OF our
young men when they leace the in
fluences of home. | have under
scored the words printed wrong.
The other errors are not import
ant, but as the article is of a charac-
ter to create some feeling, would
like that sentence corrected, if not
too much trouble.
Respectfully Yours, T.. G.

AN asylum for aged people at
Williamsburg, N. Y, was burned
early Tuesday morning. Seventeen
of the aged inmates were burned to
death and others killed by jumping
from the burning building. Thirty
persons are missing.

is upon us, and the fashionable
Christians have to change their
base. They cannot show their fine
feathers at the theatres, operas or
parties, but they make it up at the
churches. How devoutly they
crowd the churches every morning.
when they have new clothes, and
how sweetiy pious they look, when
they glance around and see that
they out-dress all their neighbors.
aud then the meetings for charity,
which are eminently proper. How
they complacently go in sweet,
simple costume that cost $1,000 in
Paris, and give $40 to relieve the
suffering poor at their doors! If
there is anything utterly absurd, it
is the observance of Lent by a fash.
iOnable New York Christian lady.
They make the season of mortitica-
ton the time for the widest posi-
bic extravaganza. They exchange
the paid singers of the opera for the
paid singers of the fashionable
and take revenge for the
by piling more agony on
their dress. Curious world this.
And yet these people all expect to
get to heaven by-and-by.

GRANT testified strongly as to Gen.
Babcock's good character. Grant is
not a fool, by a long ways, and we
wonder if it never occurred to him
that Babcock was making a big
splurge on his small salary of pri-
vate Secretary? It may be that
Grant gave Babcock SAC, 900 or $780,
900 a year out of his own pocket, but
we hardly think the President is that
sortiof a financial man. The Presi-
dent knew that Babcock associated
with a foul nest of fellows at Saint
Louis, but, for that matter, the Pre-
sident associated with the same fell
lows himself wien in that city. 1t
is an ugly, shameful piece of bust
ness, to make the most OF it, but
the radical howlers for the Boss will
cover it all over by the cry of "rebcl"
and sex Confederate"

THE FIRST TAI OF TIT
CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

The Eaton Register says H is re.
ported in Dayton that Mr.. Meditation
had offered a clerkship to a colored
man, who virtuously declined it. And
%thereupon the Regitter inquiries po-
litically about the Democratic sol
der, etc.!
This statement elevates the color
ed man pretty high in the moral
scale-making his resistance to
temptation at the same time a sting
ing rebuke to the willy tempter Nc
Mahon. But unfortunately the facts
do not bear it out. We are author
lied to say in behalf of Mr.. McMa-
hen that he has not offered a clerk
ship or any other position to a color
ed man, or to any other man, for The
very good reason that he has none
at his disposal. And We are author
lied to say further that no cIerkship,
or any other position, has been de-
clined by a colored man, or any 9TH
err man, to his knowledge, because
none has been offered. If the report
to which Mr.. Williams gives circula-
ton to in the Eaton Register has any
foundation intact, let the party be
named and Mr.. McMahon's letter
produced.-Dayton Democrat.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-02-24

The Portsmouth Times in a stir.
ring editorial says: "Four months
ago Hayes, Sherman & CO., under
the trees in the Ironton Courthouse
yard, ~prophesied good times and
honest money, and from the inexora-
BILE position CT resumption, announc-
ed that there would be no step back
ward" Under the shadow of the
same branches hundreds of the suff
ering victims of that policy, assemble
now and appeal to a sympathizing
community to give them work, or to
put bread in the mouths of their
wives and little ones. There was nc
allusion to the dangers growing out
of the Geghan bill; there were NO
protests entered against the growing
strength ofthe greenback movement,
but it was a protest against the beg
gary and destitution that. gaunt and
skeleton-like presented itself on eve
ry hand"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-02-24

The election of Hayes was to re-
store confidence and honest money.
Silver was to jingle, and our manu-
factories were to start into new life.
Politicians promised it, the Republi-
can press assured the voters it would
be so. They deceived the people.
Their promises were the brides OF
demagogues, which they knew would
be unfulflled. Their false words re-
turn to plague them now when their
dupes sit in the shadows of sorrow.
These politicians cry out against
those who remind the public of their
recent promises. They will try to
deceive the American voter next fall
by holding out the same delusive
hopes.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-02-24

1t is apparent says the Marietta
Times that a fe Y politiciansi in Wash
ington are determined to narrow
down the contest for the Democratic
nomination for President to Senator
Thurman and Governor Hendricks.
They are both very excellent gentle
men, either of whom would command
the respect of the opposition and the
support of the Democracy. But,
whilst this is true, we are utterly op-
posed to any movement looking to-
wards a forestalling of the Conven-
ton. Let the people choose their
delegates-honest, representative
men, not tricky fellows-and let them
select a candidate from the many
good and able men in the Democrat
ic party regardless of the section in
which he resides His character
must be, however, above suspicion,
and he must be in sympathy with
the masses of the people. No cold
blooded representative of the monop-
olists and rings of the land can be
elected. We repeat-no forestalling
of the Convention. Give Pendieton,
Ewing, Parker, of New Jersey. Gen
eral Hancock and Others an open
field and an equal chance with Thur
mar and Hendricks.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-02-24

The Springfield Republican is vi.
olently disguised with the National
Republican Congressional Commit
tee. 1t says: .Simon Cameron, the
Nestor of corrupt politics; John Lo-
gan, the blatherskite infationist,
with the shadow If a dark suspicion
enveloping him; West, the Louisiana
carpet-bagger, who is menaced at
this moment with a legislative inves-
tigation for bribery, and who has
been a large part of the organized
usurpation and spoilation at New
Orleans; Dorsey, the bankrupt car
pet-bagger from Arkansas, a bird of
even more dingy plumage-these are
the men selected to organize victory
for a reform party. What do decent
Republicans think about it?"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-02-24

The big advertising bill that the
talented editor of the Register al
ludes to us having against the State,
whether much or little, was made
out according to the legal and law
full rates of advertising, and at the
same Price that we charge for Sher-
if Sales, Road Notices, Executors
and Administrators Notices, and
not SO large in proportion, as some
of the bills paid to that concern for
the same class of advertisements,
which now rest quietly in the. Audi
tors office of Preble county. We
have no objection to comparison, and
will agree to cheerfully refund all
over charges. loot your little horn,
Mr.. WILLIAMS.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-02-24


No sooner was it known that the
! Democratic party had elected a ma
jority in the present Congress, than
the Radical press began to cffer sly
insinuations that the "rebei'' ele-
ment in the House would do some
terrible thing to destroy the union
and fraternity of the States and the
people. These statements were in
sinuated for months before Congress
met. When Speaker Kerr was elect
ed, and "the rebel clement acted SO
wisely and prudently on the Louisi-
ana question, on the first day of the
session, the Radicals found 1t was
necessary to do something to excite
the Southern members, and Blaine
undertook to Sire the Northern
heart" by a speech that was only re-
markable for its false induction and

a full cry of loyal disgust at the trea-

With a bleeding PROSTATE country,

LAST Tuesday was the one hun
dred and forty fourth anniversary of
GEORGE WASHINGTON, whose name is
stamped upon u capitol, our most
distant territory, and our highest
mountain as one token, that he who
was first in war, first in peace, is and
ever shall be, first in the hearts of
his countrymen. This being Cen
tennial year, the day was more gen
orally observed throughout the coun-
try than usual. So it should have
been. There never was but n
Washington, and there never will be,
so long as there is but one sun in
the sky. Nature broke the mould N
which she had formed him. His
chair will always remain as it was
proposed to leave Voltair's in the
Academy, vacant. His sceptre was
grasped in an unlineal hand, no son
of his succeeding, but it is a good
omen for our country that such a
parsonage as no man can mediate
upon without being fred with a pure
ambition, whose portrait artists paint
when they would represent the man
whom cynical philosophers with lam
tern vainly sought in Athens. His
face is everywhere known and every
where counted more than half divine,
while his name is given throughout
the earth, to those whom men would
accord the highest praise or is called
a watch word which shall never sink

pulpit, Grantism in the presidency
and Chamberlain in the cabinet, is
it any wonder that he'll crops out in
