Know Nothing organization was proba-
bly, good school and he an apt scholar.
We believe he once ral as their Candi-
ate for Congress in the Columbus dis
trict
The foregoing will show how the gal
liant Democracy of Stark were betrayed
and misrepresented. There was little
too much meekfaced unction for one
thing, and not enough Democratic back
bone for another. From ali this it may
be seen how the Enguirer-Allen move
ment captured the State convention. We
say to these gentlemen their power as del
egates is gone, but the rights of honest
democrats remain. 1t is short-sighted
policy to thus wantonly and inexcusably
abuse privilege, for there may be a
reCkoningSat the other end, and that end
may come sooner than one wots Of Val
landigham's motto was "Do RIGHT, and
trust in God"
And now, in conclusion, let us ask
What have the Enquirer-Allen men gain
ed2 What will all this amount to in the
st. Louis National Convention? They
have not even majority of the delegates
from Ohio to st. Louis. Old William Al
len is no more possible candidate for
President than "a years old Peter Cooper.
Their course of folly has only endangered
and injured us in Ohio. When we might
have had harmony they would not have
it. They may have spoiled the Presiden-
tial prospects of Senator Thurman, and
been instrumental in nominating SAMUEL
j. TILDEN, Every good democrat can
support as capable and honest demo
crat as Governor Tilden, but five out Of
six democrats of Ohio would prefer oul
noble United States Senator.
We have no personal grievance in all
this, but speak for the CAUSE The hon
est Democracy of Stark shall not be thus
fagrantly misrepresented without fail
and proper exposure of the business
Not without trouble will the Democrats
of Stark be fastened to the tail of the En-
quirer kite, and made, noIeaS OolenS, tC
serve that gang of INSCRIPTIONS politica
Cutthroats.

indignation at the way the Democracy oi

President are few and far between. Our

at the course of some of our delegates at

n novel and remarkably interesting institu
tion, called the College of Individual Instruc
llOn, mas been in successful operation during
tne past year at that noted school Center
Evanston, Illinois The school has attracted
a good deal OF notice and called forth favor
able articles, speeches, &c, from not few
distinguished gentlemen, among whom are
such worthless as Professor Swing, General
Howard, Hon James p. Root, Rev. VIM. Al
vim bartlett, ana several writers IN some OF
our school journals
The plan is so radically different from the
old class methods, and especially from the
stereotyped graded school system, that it
challenges consideration. We prefer 10 state
it in the words of the college catalogue, and
then if any educator can furnish sound ar
gument against it, our columns are open TO
HIM.
The underlying dri0Bt of the college of In.
! dividual Instruction, is this: Every schol-
ar is entitled TO advance according to his IN.
dividual talents and industry without hurry
or hindrance from others individual tai.
ent has free scope in America and everywhere
else but in school-it is time TO give it tree
scope in school"
But how is this to be accomplished? The
plan of the new school is as follows:
LIST. Each learner takes only such studies as
A.,
advances according TO his own talen, and ap.
plicatlon, without any kind of hindrance from
classmates; and, as soon as one Study is cone
pieted is passed into another, without waiting
for others. II, for sickness or other cause,
his studies are interrupted, he resumes where
he left of, instead of slipping over lessons un-
learned in order ITO keep up with the class"
I'd. Teachers, instead of spending their
whole time in "hearing Rotations" (inquir
ing what scholars have learned of themselves,
or al the cost of the time of the rhOie class,
making explanations only needed by the idle
or the stupid few spend four days of each
week IN tedchtag-passing from desk to desk
to help wherever needed--without taking
the time of other students. The saving of
students time in the best hours of the day by
avoiding the class method will enable them
to accomplish at least one third more of stu.
y; while the direct mental contact of teacher
and student in iRdtGiduaI teaching, makes ex-
PLANTATION easy and inspiring; and, what is
most important, results in teaching the pupil
hoo to study.
Sd. The fifth day in each week is devoted
to Oral and Written ErImiHdti0nS which, in |
oretifth of the time, serve all the best uses of
the daily class recita,Ons usual to other |
schools
4th. Whenever the class method can be EN-.
pIoycd to advantage Gas sometimes in Read. |
ing Exercises, Foreign Languages and Gen. |
sral Reviews II will b resorled to.
Such is the plan Of this peculiar school, |
and there is common sense flavor about it /
hat is well calculated 10 win public favor;
specially among pralCal business men. III
here IS any tallacy in 1t, let II be pointed out
1t once, or Jet the plan be adopted in other
schools.

THE State Fair

-FOUR weeks from next Monday the Annual
state Fair opens in this city to continue during
the week. The premium lists have been scatter
ed broadcast over the country and the Fair gen
orally well advertised. AS result, many appli
cations for space for the exhibition of machinery
and stalls for stock are coming in daily to Mr.
Nicely, the representative of the State Board in
this city. Among these we might mention: Ap
plication from w. e. Hunt Il Son, of Bowling
Green, KY, for sixteen stalls for exhibiting their
trotting stock; another from j. P. & j. n. Spen.
Ger, Pine Grove, Pike Co., Ky. for sixteea stalls
for horses; another from J. II. Wright, Carroll.
ton, HIS, for stalls to exhibit herd OF short
Horns. The Plttses also made application on
Thursday for space for 10 machines from their
agricultural works; and Buffalo firm want room
to show their planning mills. There are many
other applications already in, too numerous to
mention in particular. Never before thus early
nave there been so many expressed determin.
ations TO be present with machinery or stock,
and as the number constantly increases a. the
opening OF the Fair approaches it NAV be con-
hdently expected that the number of articles on
exhibition will be larger than ever before.

wanted on Saturday night but the names OF vot-
crs to make up the membership. squad of
cahVassers had scourcH the city for a week, and
or that evening made their returns, which, how
ever, were anythins: but encouraging; for after
hard scratching as the Republican says, the club
has membership of only $50, which probably
means teC or l25; and some of these, we are told,
are arcrse to travelling with the crowd. G. D..

knows him knows that he is good Tildcn &

The High School building is fast approaching
completion, and notwithstanding the delays on
account OF rain, will probably be finished before
the time stated in the contract. The interior
plan is the same as the old buildng-tive large
rooms and two smaller ones, the three upper
rooms being intended for the High School
There will be, however, more seating room since
the teachers platforms are made very much
smaller. The interior of the rooms are nicely
finished in hard wood castings, wainscoatng, and
inside blinds. Blackboards extend of course en-.
tirely around the rooms. The doors are all doub.
lie, ana open out for easy cgress in case of fire
and panic among the pupils. The plan of the
stalrways Is changed, the stairs being now wind
ing, with black walnut railing. The heating ap-
paratus will be in the same position as formerly
out built with special reference to safety The
furnaces are covered and surrounded with heavy
brick work and stand upon brick foundations.
All the hot air dues are brick, built like chin
neys, carried through the center of the building
ana enter the rooms close to the wall of brick
The two Basement rooms will be heated bv
stoves. The arrangement is perfect; 1t can new
er get out Of order, and such thing as the build
ings taking fire from the furnaces or its hues is
well nigh impossible. The building is no doubt
better than it ever was aud better for its scorch.
