To the Editor of the Ledger:
Having taken some pains to get
an expression of many of the prom.
inent business men--citizens of the
city and surrounding country
am forced to the conclusion that
the best and only way for Governor
Porter to dispose of the vexed ques-
ton of paying out the money in
the State Treasury on the coupons
as he proposes, is to leave the whole
matter to the next Legislature.
ANY attempt to explain or justify
the course he proposed to take vii
result disastrously, not only to him
as the present nominee, but to the
whole State ticket. The people
want no explanation.

There are those who affect to be-
lieve that a combination has been
entered into, by which the Repub-
licans of this State made no nomi-
nation for Governor at Nashville,
agreeing to support Dorsey b.
Thomas, General Nancy or some
one else. This is a mistake. In
the first place, no man has the Gu
thority or the power to transfer the
Republican votes of the State to
any one. If General Nancy be-
comes a candidate he does it on his
own responsibility. So of Dorsey
B. Thomas. Republicans are in no
way bound to support either Of
them. They may support either of
them, or Governor Porter, or not
vote for Governor at all, as their
individual judgment may dictate.
The policy of making no nominal
ton is an experiment which we did
not encourage or advocate, but it
has been made and we acquiesce.
But in doing SO we are not bound
to support any charlatan who may
come ont as an Independent candi.

MoRToN says that four years of
Hayes would make twelve years of
Grantism, in the following words:
The administration of any Presi-
dent will be in the main what the
party which elected him makes it.
If he breaks away from his party.
the chances are that he will be
broken down. In a Government
of parties like ours the President
must have his friends. The men to
whom he owes his election, who have
defended him from assaults, to
whom he must look for support in
the future, will ordinarily control his
action, and he will do nothing often
sive to them.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-08-24

Hon. p. NJ. DEcHANT, Senator elect
from the counties OF Butler and War
rem, died at the residence of his
father, near Franklin, o., on the 18th
inst. Mr.. DEcHANr was a promising
lawyer, a man of strict integrity, and
withal possessed fine talents for bu-
siness. He was the youngest mem
Der of the State Senate and during
his short term in that body, COM
manded the respect of all with whom
he associated for his ability and man.
ly intercourse. He was a consistent
Democrat, and when compelled to
leave the Senate Chamber, that body
unanimously adopted resolutions of
confidence in him as a member and
sympathy for his condition, which
were spread upon The journals, and
on order of the Senate certified and
forwarded to him at his home by the
Clerk. His seat is now vacant and
draped in mourning, but it is hoped
that the District will supply his place
by an equally just and efficient mem
Der, both politically and socially.

It makes us feel as if the millennium

JOHN T. DEEM.

We notice in the last issue of the
Register that this gentleman is an
nounced as a Suitable candidate
for County Commissioner, at the
coming fall election. In this an
nouncement we cordially concur with
the Register, for we know of no man
better calculated to guard and pro-
tect the interests of the taxpayers
of Preble CT unity and to bring about
the needful reform in County ex-
penditures, than JOHN T. DEEM. We
therefore, hail his announcement
as an omen o fsuccess and a harding
er of reform in our County expendi-
lures. While the people, through
their representatives in Congress,
are working reform in ferreting out
frauds and populations of those who
have been in authority, it may be
well for the people of Preble county
to look into their own affairs and as
certain how public matters have been
managed. The first and prime move
in this direction is the election of
JOHN 7. DEEM as County Commits
sioner. We believe Eaton ought to
be represented on the Board of Com
missioners, not because it is Eaton,
but because it would lessen our ex-
penses and be an advantage to the
whole County in a business point OF
view. In the future, however, we
may have moreto say upon this ques-
ton and other matters of interest to
the people in connection with the
propriety of making a change in the
Board of County Commissioners.
We, therefore, second the name OF
JOHN T. DEEM as a candidate for
Commissioner.

The gentleman whose name heads
this article has been suggested as a
candidate for the Office of Infirmary
Director, and We know of none who
would fill the place with more honor

We simply asked a plain, civil
question in a gentlemanly manner,
in regard to the Republican candi-
date for Sheriff. We know nothing
disrespectful of him, neither did we
insinuate anything, and the answer
to it IN the Register shows the writer
to be a fool. When o man is seek
ing official position and asking the
confidence of the public, there is GER
tainly no improperly of inquiring
into his business capacity, his hon
esty and integrity, OIL ven his pri-
vate affairs. When he is not asking
public position or support his pri-
vate affairs are not public property,
but his oaon, and it would be well
enough for the editor to remember
this truism and exhibit a little com
mon sense.
