Geo. E. Pugh served one term in the
United States Senate. He was a lawyer
of eminent ability. During the war he
sympathized more fully with the rebels

proposed to raise an army of two hun

Canada and bring the banished traitor

The Republicans of the Third District
have nominated Hon. Mills Gardner, of
Fayette county, for Congress. The Dis
trict is close, but Mr.. Gardner is an ex-
cellent man, and will very likely be
elected.
The Democrats in the Fifth District
have nominated Judge Dickey, of High
land county. There were 95 ballotings,
and the Ross county Democrats are sore
over the defeat of Neal, the present
member; but there is Democratic ma
jority Of over two thousand in the Dis
trict. and it is not probable that any man
can beat Dickey.
In the Fifteenth District the Republi-
cans have nominated Hon. N. H. Van
Worries, the present member. This
District is about equally, divided between
the parties, but Mr.. Van Worries is one
of the ablest end most popular men in
in the State, and he will succeed.

make any difference that it appeared as

few days previous. Brains are scarce

The above propositions are made for the pur-
pose of stimulating the good work of molding
public opinion in favor of sound political prin-
ciples, and promoting the election OF an honest,
virtuous and capable man for President of the
United States, Governor Rutherford B.
Hayes. Everybody knows the influence Of a
wisely conducted newspaper in forming public
sentiment, and in carrying popular elections.
II becomes the duty, therefore, of every patri-
otic American citizen, to do all within his pow
er to extend the influence OF such papers.

known in every State and section oft the Union

ly newspaper, that no Endorsement is needed
as to it's character. During the pending cam

the people. County and local committees,
should make out lists Of all doubtful voters,

in the way Of making votes than many other
ways in which it might be spent.

60 Away from home to get the news.
The Cincinnati Gazette of Monday, in its
jackson news, had this:
Mr.. Conway, the fat crockery man,
whom every dealer in this section favor
ably knows as the fattest and jolliest man
on the road, is dead. His weight was
about $50 pounds, and was too much for
him in such weather. learn that his
death was from excessive flesh and ex-
cessive heat. He literally collapsed and
suffocated He was q man who boasted
that he had never drank any whisky nor
voted Democratic ticket. His saliva
tion ought to be secured.
About six hours before the arrival Of
the Gazette, containing this obituary no
tice, we saw Conway on Main Street,
shaking hands with his friends, and
laughing so loud that you could hear him
quarter of a mile, and, in fact, he ap-
peared to be about as lively a corpse as
we had seen since the commencement of
the heated term.

Should Tilden need more assistance in
helping him on his way to the White
House, he will not call on Grant and his
whisky Ring for money, as does the
Hayes managers; nor depend on the
American Alliance (Know Nothings) to
place it where it will do the most good -
Ironton Democrat.
A short time ago the Democrat was
kind enough to tell us just where Tilden
gets his money. 1t said
Tilden seeks to buy his way to the
Presidential chair with money stolen
from the masses of the people, and in
the advocacy of doctrines which enrich
the few and impoverish the many, he
hopes to be elected. He is fraud on
the people and his so called reform meas

We do not read of any accessions to
the ranks of Hayes from the Democracy
but we daily hear of Republicans, infiu-
ential in their party, who turn their
backs on it to support Tilden, the Re-
former Brown County News.
We are a little surprised that man Of
the character and standing of Mr.. Leeds,
should speak of Tilden as a reformer.
About two months ago we published an
article taken from the News, in which
the editor spurned the offer of Tilden to
puff him for the small sum of four dollars.

these papers with money stolen from the

papers all support this thief, as the EN-

that these charges will hurt Tilden with

made by Democrats, and no doubt are
all true. 1t cannot be forgotten tha
