FAMILY REUNIoN.-At the residence Of Jacob
H. Bair, son of the recipient of the grand bene-
ht, in Plain township on Friday, the 2nd inst,
Mrs Jehu Grubb, In her S4th year. was surprised
by the general assembly of 115 of her friends and
offspring representing FIVE generations, who
came together by a preconcerted arrangement, to
celebrate the occasion. She was born In Penn.
sylvania in the year 1893, and at an early age re.
moved to Plain township, in this county, where
she has resided during the past rs years. Among
the large assembly, was the New Berlin Brass
Band, who diScOursed, at appropriate intervals,
the excellent music they are noted for. Grand
mother Grubb, during the meeting was presented
with fine set of gold trimmed spectaces the pres
entation speech having been made by her grand
son, Major Frank Baird, whose eloquence as an
orator has been recently exhibited thoroughly in
numerous temperance lectures in this part Of
Ohio. At the time the presentation was made,
there was toast offered to my Grandmother"
the response being Major Balrd's presentation
speech, Plain township is noted for Its plentiful
and excellent hospitality, and in this case, it is
needless to say-almost superfuity Of language
to say that there was a royal abundance Of re-
freshments, and that 1t was royalty treated.

Amos A. Keith departed this life on the morning
ofthe Sd instat 5oclock at the age Of 86 years. He
was the son Off. G. and MrsN. Keith of Canton; and
died at the residence ofhisparents on west Tuscara
was street, where he had received every attention
that affection could bestoW. Over year since
Mr.. Keith found that his condition was Of a seri.
GUS and alarming character; that the symptoms
Of that insidious disease, consumption, were bafl-
ing medical skill, He, accordingly, went South
about year ago, spending the winter in Texas,
at the Hot Springs and other localities but all did
not avail to restore him to health. He returned
in the early summer to home and friends but con-
tnued to decline till the closing scene came No
vember Sd, in the early morning Throughout
his illness, all that loving hearts and kind hands
could do, was done. A father, mother and sisters
care, and other kind friends were ever at hand TO
sOOthe the sufferer and smoothe the way. Moth
ing was omitted that could conciliate the suffer-
ePs condition, and render his closing hours calm
and happy. Some time before the final summons,
deceased manifested deep interest in the Christ
ian's hope and was sustained in his last hours by
faith in a blessed Immortality The funeral
which was largely attended, took place from
the home Of the family, on Sunday, Rev.
DR.. Locke officiating assisted by Rev. L. M. Kuhns
and Rev. w, J. Park. The services at the grave
were rendered more than ordinarily solemn and
impressive by the singing Of the beautiful hymn,
"shall we Gather at the River1" by a quartette Of
young men who had been special friends of the
deceased, and had sung for him during his sick
ness. Mr.. Keith was a man Of high integrity Of
character, and esteemed by all who knew him for
his many noble qualities. His loss viii long be
felt by devoted friends, and by his death void is
made in the family circle never to be filed this
side the tomb. Neighbors and friends unite in
extending heartfelt sympathy 10 the bereayed
family In this their sore af1iction.

did need them and the trouble now is
that therepublican party do notget them.

Why, sir, they talk of intimidation
Here are hundreds of negro men in
Louisiana who come up and say, "we
voted the democratic ticket" l have
seen it stated as high as thousands call
it hundreds if you choose; call it any
number you please they come up and
say "we voted the democratic ticket. +"
What does the returning board say
say "yOu were intimidated to vote the
democratic ticket" What then? They
come up and make affidavit that they
voted the democratic ticket, and that
they voted it without intimidation.
What does the returning board say +?
" You were intimidated to make afiida-
Wit" And so it goes.
Why, sir, where is the end of this
Cannot any man who has the least hon
esty and the least sagacity in the world
see that if such practices as these are
tolerated, anything like republican insti-
ballot are at an end? You put the des-
tinies of the whole states in the hands of
four irresponsible men called a returning
board, and then talk about a republican
form of government You want
to invoke the whole force of the
government, its army, its navy,
to secure to a state a republican
form of government; and you put in the
= r
of the highest character either, the right
to determine upon the phase of govern
ment of that state. And yet you call
that republican form of government !
Mr.. President, it will not do; no, it |
will not do. My colleague said, with /
great force and eloquence, that if cleo
ions were to be carried in this country

ican institutions. l agree with him
md l tell him, and l say to each one of
you, that if elections are to be carried by
he use of the army of the United States
md its intimidation, there is an end of
epublican institutions. Sir, all the in
imidation that ever actually existed on
he part of the democratic or the white
'eople of the south is but drop in the
'ucket to the danger of that intimidation
VnlCH comes from C06 standing army OF
he United States. Anarchy in any
ountry at last corrects itself, for it can
lot be borne but the use of a standing
rmy to control the people has been fatal
o liberty ever since republic existed.
agree with my colleague that intimida-
ion of the voters is fatal to republican
overnment but / ask him while his
mind, heated and excited by what hehas
cen and by what, he has heard. is brood
ng over cases of homicide, of violence,
nd the like, to think of the far greater
anger of intimidation by the organized
ody which carries the swerd and the
ayonet and wields the artillery of the
rmy. / ask him to think of that much
raver danger of intimidation from him
Tho shall hold in his hand the purse and
be sword. ask him to remember that
here have been Caesars and Cromwells
