in stone quarry. He has what his COM
rades call IAN uncommon gift of CAB"
He has, moreover, a vivid sense of the in
justice of his being obliged to work for
50 25 per day, while other men are born
rich. He argues with his fellows that
there should be an equitable division of
property, and that, in the meantime,
Government should legislate money into
every mans pocket. The shortest cut to
prosperity is by compelling the Govern
ment to print a few billions of paper
money. The average stonecutter and
the average lime kiln tender, honest man
though he be, can not argue against this
taking proposition. He cheers the rough
oratory of his comrade, and in default of
better candidate, the illiterate but talk
ative Communist and infationist is nom
mated for Congress. We can understand
why his fellows, proud of his illiteracy
and proud of his being one of themselves,
should vote for him. But how major
ity in Congressional district, in State
where common schools and hard sense
have educated many generations, should
vote for him, is q problem as yet un-
solved.
Multiply this successful stone cutter by
fifty and send the product to Congress.
Where would these men be in the hands
OF the subtle and skIllful parliamentary
ans of the House? On the naked propo-
stion to initiate the currency, or to legis-
late money out of the Treasury for So
called public benefits, they would always
be found voting together. But not one
of them could make an ineligible mo-
ton; not one could advance an intelligent
idea concerning the great principles" on
which he was elected. Experience has
proved, however, that in all of the dis
honest and thieving measures, these
guileless sons of the people would inva-
riably be found voting solidly for the
grabs. 1t has always been so; and it al
ways will be so. Unsophisticated, un-
taught, and inexperienced in legislation
they may be. But sluggish conscience
and dull defiance of public opinion are
no safeguards against temptation to vote
for measures which more intelligent men
condemn as vicious and immoral. We
shall hear of great victories" for the
men of the people" and there will be
cheers for those who are borne into Con-
gress on the crest of great popular wave.
Once in Washington, these children of
the people will be absorbed and over
whelmed by the great majority of older
and more experienced men. We shall
only hear of them thereafter to their dis
credit

Just the Size of Him.

The Ironton Register has communi-
cation after this fashion:
EDITOR REGIsTER-Your correspondent
attended the grand Democratic rally at
Pinegrove Crossing last Saturday. Hon.
Irvine DUNCAN and James Newman were
there; SO were Dean, Combs, Wittenberg
and the band, and enough workingmen,
republicans, democrats and children to
swell the number to total of 130 souls.
Mr.. DUNCAN labored hard for more than
an hour to make the workingmen be-
lieve that there was mo sense" in voting
the workingmens ticket this Fall, but
that they should pool issues with the
democratic party and march to victory.
In fact the whole burden of their har-
rangues were plea for the workingmen's
votes. There was nothing in the line of
good and fair argument, but a TRADE
against capital, interest and bonds. l
understand Irve does not smell as sweet
to the workingmen now as he did before
his speech, and if he and Newman could
be persuaded to stump Elizabeth town
ship, think Henry S. Neal would gain
ground rapidly. PIvoT.

From the Ironton Register
Emmitt's Work.

The Ashland journal, quoting EN-
mitt's speech here, in which he boasted
of being "a worker in this region for 90
years" makes these comments:
"He says he has been a worker in your
midst for sixty years, and what has been
his work? Did you as voters of the 18th
district ever think about his great work
and its results? If not call on him for
statistics and you will find that he has
distilled and sent out millions of gallons
of whisky to be distributed among the
people. Can any of the people that ask
you to vote for him tell you the number
of his victims How many have been
hung2 How many have gone to help
fill up the prisons of your country
How many have filed drunkard's graves?
How many murders committed? How
many widows and orphans it has made?
What destitution, misery and degrada-
tion it has caused? How much yon have
been taxed to support the paupers and
to try the criminals? -? These are ques-
tions to be considered in this life time
work of Jim Emmitt. How much better
it would have been for the country and
suffering humanity if he had died in his
mothers arms in infancy. His business
through life does not have great ten
dency to morality, religion or education.
he has had no time, and not much in
clination that way, for those three things
would have worked against his financial
interest, and are enemies to his peculiar
calling. We will only say the two are
before you, and we know that the people
are too intelligent to be trapped by
money or whisky. The Conventions may
be, but the people are too many. We
would like to know what church i'm at
tended when in Ironton, on Sunday,
through the Register, as the church mem
bers of the District would like to know
too"
All the church he attended on Sun
day was whisky shop.-ED. REG

From the tone of number of editorials in
the last Waverly Watchman, we think that a
good many decent Democrats refuse to vote for
Emmitt. Here are a few of these editorials:
Let the true and tried Democracy of Pike
county stand firm. There traitors in our
ranks, and the life of our party is threatened.
Let every man stand to his post, and let US all
work with the determination to carry the BAN
ner of Democracy through to victory despite
the combined efforts of foes without and dirty,
cowardly traitors within.
We afraid that some OF our Democratic
friends are pursuing course in this cam paign,
which if pursued to the end, viii seriously i'm
pair their usefulness leaders of the party,
hereafter. Be true TO your principles, Demo-
Gratis, and let not personal difference deter you
from doing your whole duty to your party and
your country. Give the whole ticket your cor
dial support and vote it clean, without Il
scratch. Be true Democrats under any and all
circumstances, and, our word for il, you will
never have cause to regret it.
No man has any claim on the Democratic
party, neither does the Democratic party owe
any man anything, and whenever we see a
Democrat kicking out of the traces because he
has failed to receive the nomination for an
Office, we at once set him down a shySter
and q fraud, who ought to be kicked out of the
party. We have few such frauds in our party
just now, but we are rcioiced to hear that they
are pursuing course that will forever damn
them in the estimation of all true Democrats.
W are rejOiced to see the curse removed.

colored man so brutally and ruthlessly
murdered was guilty Of the otfense
charged against him. The first dispatches
spoke of Taylor's confession" but it was
apparent from the dispatches themselves
that he made no confession, and denied
killing Miss O'Donnell to the last. But
whether he was guilty or not, no mob of
savage miscreants should be allowed to
PREJUDICE the case of any citizen of Ohio
accused of crime, and every one of the
ringleaders should be hung or lodged in
the Penitentiary. Unless justice be vim
dicated no mans life is safe an hour.
True, in this case it was only an humble
negro who suffered, but the next victim
of the mob may be any one who reads
this article. The State as well as the To-
cal authorities should bestir themselves
and insist to the last upon the condign
punishment of this CHASTITY crime.
Later developments show that the mur-
der of Taylor is not the worst feature of
the case. Since then the mob has prac-
tically taken possession of the city; has
secuted the remonstrances of the law
abiding people there; has interfered with
and broken up their meetings; and has de-
family declared that it will permit no ar
rests to be made Still worse, one OF the
mob writes a letter to the Toledo Jour
nal, weakly defending the foulest outrage
ever committed in Ohio, signing himself
Rope Fuller" and threatening that
other citizens shall be served as Taylor
was.
This impudent challenge to the law
and order loving population of that city
and of Ohio, should be promptly accepted,
and the scoundrels be subdued and pun
ished at all hazards. If the local author
tiles are not sufficient for the task, let
them call upon the Governor, and even if
the latter should not wait for the call, so
much the better 1t is the prime duty of
the Chief Magistrate to see that the laws
should be permitted to stand in the way
Sandusky is practically in the hands of a
cruel, unreasoning and bloodthirsty mob
and the highest duty incumbent on the
Governor is to see that it is forthwith
dispossessed

There are still some persons who will
beg dimes from poor women, to pay mis-
sionaries to go and enlighten the heather
and improve their morals. We defy such
to show anything more utterly damnable
in heather lands, since the days of Abra-
ham, than was American slavery only
twenty years ago; anything more horrid
than the Democratic rebellion, to uphold
that sum of all villainies
A few weeks ago a scene transpired in
the most enlightened part of the great
State of Ohio, at Sandusky, that can not
be paralleled for brutality or infamy in
any part of Africa, China, or the islands
of the sea. A "nigger" was tortured to
death. Read this account, and then get
some of your missionaries to give as nor
rid case in any heather land:
Judge Lynch at once assumed control
and converted the peaceable, law abiding
citizens into demons thirsting for blood
They rushed to Jail to find their victim,
and visit upon his person their wrath.
Sheriff Starr was warned of their coming
and placing Taylor in buggy drove rap
luly III GuS ulI6CtlOu VI the COuuIy 1nur-
mary, three miles from the city. The
mob was not to be cheated of their prey
and imm ediately mounting horses started
in pursuit.
The race for life, for the maintenance
of law and order against violence and
disorder, continued until near the Infr
mary, where the Sheriff was overtaken
by Billy Higgins and Dan Donovan, who
informed him that they had been COM
missioned by five hundred men to secure
the body of Taylor and return it to them
for punishment
The Sheriff resisted but in vain. He
was overpowered, his buggy upset, the
prisoner taken from him, and dragged by
bowling, infuriated mob to the City
! Park.
While on the way to the park, Taylor
was struck and kicked by all who could
get near enough to reach him, and was
more dead than alive when the mob halt
ed in the park. Here Taylor endeavore
! to say something. All tha: could be
heard was, 81 buried the girl, but another
| niger killed her" The lynchers would
not listen to him, but placing long rope
about his neck, threw him to the ground,
and amid the widest excitement dragged
him down Columbia avenue to Market
street. about two squares, and throwing z
the rope over the ladder rest of lamp
post, drew the body up.
The rope broke, and the body fell to
! ground with a sickening thud. The rope
was soon spliced, and again thrown over
the rest, when Frank Graul painter
supported on the shoulders of the crowd,
eased the rope over and soon the body
of Taylor was swinging under a faring
gas light,
Cheer after cheer rent the air as the
mob beheld their lleless victim After
hanging about fifteen minutes the body
was cut down by Marshal Perrygan who
removed it and secreted it to prevent
the mob from burning it, as they threat
ened to do.

HOW TO VOTE.

Most newspapers make a loud appeal
to the dear, ignorant people, in their last
issue before election, telling the ignorant
people aforesaid how they should vote.
Now we have, perhaps, too high an
opinion of the intelligence Of the voters
in general. We think they have sense
enough to know how to vote, and our
final appeal generally is, for every voter
to turn out and vote as his conscience
dictates. Then we never fear the result.
We believe it is the duty of every voter
to be at the polls and vote. No man has
a right to complain of bad government
or bad administration of the laws by
public officers, when he fails to vote.
In other articles, we contrast the sew
eral candidates on the tickets in, this
county. Every thing else being equal,
we hold that it is the duty of every voter
to vote for the candidates on his own
party ticket. But when there are grave
reasons otherwise, then the public good
should override party ties.
We believe we have shown that it is for
the public good that the Democratic
voter should scratch his ticket.
