votes were obtained from North Carolina,
Nevada and Florida. The outside votes
necessary to keep the Ohio men solid were
obtained from Michigan.
This was the situation Wednesday morn
ing when the convention met. The strug-
gle over the Alabama contest was exciting,
but the programme of the Credential Com
mittee was carried out by small majority,
and the convention dishonored itself by
establishing precedent under which the
minority of any State executive committee
may, with the aid of an indiscriminate mass
meeting, may override the will of the ma
iority and destroy the discipline, as well as
defy the will, of the party. After this the
nominations were made, the sensation Of
the day being the speech OF that eloquent
infidel, Bob. Ipgersoll, Of Peoria, Illinois,
who brought forward Mr.. Blaine. Never
before were such words of burning rhetoric
and uuexampled appeals heard by politi
cal gathering Fervid and poeticalt they may
| appear to the uninp npassicned reader, but it
was he apt thing for the tina and thu occa-
sion. The adjournment which followed
injured Mr.. Blaine's prospects, because the
effect of that speech died away before the
| convention reassembled next morning.
Up to this time in the manipulation Of
delegates the Blaine men were the most
successful; but when the convention met
again on Thursday it soon became ap-
parent that they would be outgeneraled

The Democratic County Committees had d
lively meeting, on Saturday. We are sorry
to see that the brethren do not dwell together
in unity. During their meeting it was
charged by DIR. Cook, that |. NJ. Riley, the
chairman of the County Executive Commit
tee had usurped authority in calling the Gen.
trail Committee to which he did not belong
and over which he had no control, and that he
dealt double in notifying the members of the
committees, in that, to the friends of Cham
bers he notified them that the question of
printing Okey's name on the ticket would be
acted on, and that matters pertaining to
Chambers interests would be before the CON-
mittee, and that, ''as friend of Judge Cham
bers you should be present." To Others not
in sympathy with Chambers they were simply
notified of the meeting Charlesworth, who
held proxy, mounted T. M. Thompson, the
chairman of the central committee, for not
calling that committee together. Thompson
referred in no complimentary terms to the
gentleman who wears No. 5 hat" Finally,
on motion of Charlesworth the central COM
mittee, majority of which is for Chambers,
instructed the Executive to order 0,000 tick
cts without any name upon for Judge.
Immediately upon adjournment of the Gen.
trail committee the Executive committee met,
a majority of whom are in favor of Okey, and
ordered 10000 regular Democratic tickets
with the name of VIM Okey printed thereon.
And now, let 'em fight it out on that line.

Official Integrity.

Mr.. EDITOR There never was a
tlme perhaps in our political history
when the question of official integrity
was more lully considered than at the
present; and, rs ever must be the case,
In order to reach the highest Standard
OF public integrity and official faithful
ness, the personal honesty and fitness
OF the men whom we put in nomina-
tion for office, is matter IF the
greatest importance. In this particular
the Republican party has this year
been more than ever careful. In look.
ing over the nominations from various
places i sometimes meet familiar
names. Conspicuous among these is
the name of John Glover, Of Delaware
county. formerly of this county. In
that nomination for States ATTORNEY
the people of Delaware have met the
demands of the times, for of their can
didate it may be said, as Hon. Carl
Schurz said Of our noble standard.
bearer, X. b. Hayes, "He is honest,
not from policy. but because he cannot
help it," He is the son of noble parents
whose social and business qualities are
so well known in this county. Mr..
Glover has made record both as pri-
vate citizen and soldier, of which his
friends and supporters may justly be
proud. He was one of the first to en-
ter the service of his country against
the rebellion, and never lett it until
victory perched upon our banners. In
the three months call he served in the
18th 0. V. l., at the expiration of that
term he re-enlisted in the 10Th o. V. l..
and in Company +, was appointed Or
derly Sergeant. In this capacity he
was soon recognized as one of the most
efficient sergeants in the service, An un-
firing worker, thorough and correct in
business, always on duty, he knew the
rights of his company and never per-
mitted it to be defrauded of them. As
a soldier he soon won and ever main
tanned the reputation of being one of
the bravest men in the service. In this
connection / might speak of his pro-
motions in the army, but they are OF no
consequence here, it was his efficient,
faithful performance of duty that
makes us remember him. He studied
law in the town OF st. ClairsvilIe,
where he took his first lessons in prac.
tice among some of the ablest practi-
tioners in the State, and being q gentle
man of fine culture was gaining cOnsid-
cradle legal prestige when he migrated
Belmont county. Mr.. Glover should
receive the vote of every Republican
in Delaware county, and in fact of
every man who is desirous of pro-
noting official honesty. know moth
ing of his opponent, but this 1 know,
with Mr.. Glover in the Office of States
Attorney, there will be no compromise
with crime, nor bartering with vio-
lators OF law. His election will be an
honor to Delaware county.
The campaign is going on all right
here; we are losing nothing and gain
ing considerably. The furOre against
MIR. Barnes is really going to help him
here. q. e. w.

THE RIG SHOW

Adam Forepaugh makes it his boot that he
gives bis patrons all that his advertisement.
and posters promise them, and the events Of
yesterday and last evening proved that his
boast was not an idle one. No audience has
ever left menagerie and circus tent in this
city more thoroughly satisfied, in having seen
all, and even more than was promised, than
did those of yesterday afternoon and evening.
Both performances had immense audiences
estimated by good judges at about 5000 in the
afternoon and $500 at night We spent the
first half hour in the enormous menagerie,
which contains about fifty ponderous palace
cages well filled with the rarest wild beasts
and mosters ever captured. We next enjoy.

many, 30 varied, and SO excellent were the
several acts of daring horsemanship, thrilling
acts on the trapeze, acrobatic feats, fearless
and astonishing leaps in mid air, and score
of nameless acts that they bewilder as well as
amuse.
Toward the middle of the evening, the herd
of performing elephants which the visitor
had seen, peacefully munching, in the me-
nagerie-are brought in by Master Addie
Forepaugh a youth of but fourteen years, who
is their trainer. They are five in number

City and Country.

In New York city a respectable family pays
81, 500 annually for the rent of house. A
physician charges from three to five dollars
for single visit and furnishes no medicine.
In the country it frequently requires long
ride and great inconvenience to obtain ply
sician, and when found he may not be able to
procure the proper remedies. The most re-
markable and unfailing remedy the world has
ever seen, and one which is endorsed by all
physicians, is now placed within the reach of
every family, where it can always be kept for
immediate use. Danger arises from delay.
One dollar or fifty cents invested in Centaur
Liniment will last family year. There is
no pain which it will not relieve, no swelling
it will not subdue, wound it will not heal, or
iameness it will not cure. 1t heals burns
without scar, and renders the bites of snakes
and the stings of bees innoxious.
