Bishop Glossbrenner, OF the Church OF
the United Brethren, preached last night
in the church, corner OF George street and
Clinton avenue, Rev. John Miller, pastor.
The Bishop presides over the eastern dis
trict oil the church, which comprises nine
conferences and covers the States OF Mary
land. Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee,
PENNSYLVANIA and part Of Ohio. He trav-
els constantly over the territory, preaching
and building up churches. There are now
five churches OF this denomination in Bal
timore city. At the church where the
Bishop preached revival has been in
progress for two weeks, and several addi-
tons have been made to the membership.
ARRIVAL OF THE SAMARITAN.
The steamship Sarmatian, Capt Arid,
reached Locust point last evening, three
DAYS from Halifax, where the Princess
Louise, the Marquis OF Lorne and the per-
sons attached to their suite were landed.
The Starvation is one Of the handsomest
steamers owned by the Allans, and the
preparations for the accommodation OF the
distinguished party, the central figure in
which was the daughter OF Queen Nicto-
ria. were upon an extensive scale. The
swinging bedsteads, the invention OF Mr..
Thompson, an. American, are still in the
staterooms, but are now minus the swings,
which the loyal Britons on board firmly
believe helped old Neptune to make the
daughter Of their Queen pay more than
her share OF tribute.
The royal bedchamber, as well as two
others occupied by thesuite ofthe Princess,
consist each OF two staterooms in one. A
cory boudoir adjoins the chamber OF the
Princess. The bedsteads are OF polished
hard wood, and the upholstering is of pur-
pie and crimson, with canopies arched
above. These gorgeous affairs were hung
from the ceilings, balanced by pendulum
OF 900 pounds weight, TO give regularity to
the swing. To use the words OF one OF the
officers, o roll Of the ship would start the
pendulum, and once in motion no one
could tell when itwould stop. The Princess
was sick the whole voyage from Liverpool
to Halifax, and the swinging beds have
become byword and reproach on board
OF the Sarmatian. The bedsteads have
been detached from the pendulums and
pushed against the wall. .r
The voyage OF the steamer was an ex-
ceptionally stormy one, which is o subject
OF regret among the officers and crew. The
Caspian, only few hours in advance, had
moderately good passage, which caused
Mr.. Eaton, the chief steward Of the Sarma-
tin, to wonder why his steamer should
have met such "dirty weather." He
philosophically concluded, however, that
.seasickness doesn't spare even Princess.
The Marquis gave presents to all OF the
officers before he left the steamer. No
passengers were brought to Baltimore.

The Philadelphia Chronicle says,
the Republican organs are constant
~ assigning reasons why the ceun-
try cannot trust the Democratic par
ty, and all the while the country
goes on placing confidence in it. The
country elected a Democratic Presi-
dent by a majority of a fourth of a
million; the country elected a Dem
ocratic Congress and will elect a
Democratic successor to it; the coun.
try has decreed that the Senate next
time shall be Democratic, and the
country has further resolved that
twenty-five out of the thirty-eight
sovereign States that compose the
Union shall have Democratic Gov.
errors. 1t strikes US forcibly that
there is something much more trust.

Republicans would have us believe
or certainly we should not find the
countrythus kindly disposed towards

by the Radical organs is very cheap
and therefore the more freely indulg

towards the Democrats the Demo

ty shall be cast.-Piqwa Democrat.
We desire no controversy with the

In this country, and especially in

No delegate who is worthy, and has
mind enough to go to q Convention

As this resolution was offered it had

The Greenville Courier says it I'M
derstands that Hon. F. c. LIE Blond
returned from the Sidney Convention
very much dissatisfied with the NOM
nation made. That is q mistake.
While he may not approve of many
things done at and before the Con-
vention, and so expressed himself in
the Convention; like all true Demo
Gratis, he yields to the willo of the ma
jority.

VIM. K. DUNLAP, GILMER T.
THOMAS and FRANK E. JOHNSON, three
delegates from Miami County to the
Sidney Convention, appear ina card
in the Miami Democrat, and deny
the charge of being purchased, as
follows:
"This charge Or accusation, which
undoubtedly emanates from-an APP
parent desire of the Democrat to rule
or ruin the Democratic party in this
county, or, the result of too active an
interest in a favorite candidate, which
interest died in keen disappoint-
ment, we pronounce to be false in
every point and particular.
We also in justice to ourselves and
our standing as citizens of Concord
township and Miami county as to
character, probity, and integrity, de-
mand that these charges of bribery
and corruption, resting by implica-
ton upon US particularly be retract-
ed, Or that the county papers max
ing the charges give their authority
for the same; otherwise, we may feel
compelled to adopt such measures
as will bring about the desired re-
suit"
The whole thing is too ridiculous
to be entertained by any person Of
common sense, and we I surprised
at Bro. Smiley's verdaney.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

According to Republican testimo-
ny the members of their party who
did the work of counting in Hayes
are the most unmitigated liars and
scoundrels the world has ever pro-
duced. But this is only since they
have "peached' on Hayes, Sherman
& Co., at whose instigation they did
the unclean work. While they were
forging returns and committing per
jury for the purpose of stealing the
Presidency, they were prosecuted
Republican saints, altogether with
out guile and above reproach. The
Democrats knew that they were
scamps all the while; but they are
no greater scamps than those with
holier pretentions who urged them
to do wrong, endorsed the work and
now enjoy the fruits of the crime.
In fact, the latter are much the
worst.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

1t is a noteworthy fact, and one Of
considerable significance, that while
all the Republican newspapers rail
at the Potter investigation as a fail
ure, farce, burlesque, and so on, not
one of them ever undertakes to de-
fend John Sherman against the
charges of fraudulently conniving to
put Hayes into Office. When these
organs prove that Sherman and Stan
ley Matthews are honest men and
that Hayes was not a party to the
conspiracy, then people will begin to
believe their assertions that the in
vestigation has failed.

Don't forget the poor.-Eaton
Democrat.
We guess you had hat in your
mind when you offered that delegate
from Baltimore his hotel and beer
bill if he would change his vote.
Come, be honest for once, Levi, and
tell US all about it.-Arcanum Visi-
tor.
Well, Mr.. Visitor, we'll tell you
all about it. 1t is a lie out of whole
cloth, and if a delegate from Baltt-
more or any other place says we Of
fered him either money, beer, hotel
bill, or anything else to change his
vote, he is a liar. Is "that all about
it" you want to know? If not, we
are now on the witness stand for eve
ny nincompoop and fool in the Dis
trict, to PROFOUND silly questions
about delegates being bought. at the
Sidney Convention.

The Texas Democrats, after an un-
usually pr~otracted and fruitless
struggle between the friends of Gov
ernor Hubbard and Hon. j. Devine
for the Gubernatorial nomination,
finally agreed upon Orrin H. Roberts,
the present Justice of the Supreme
Court, as a compromise candidate,
and he was nominated by acclama-
ton. Judge Roberts is of Smith
county, is sixty-three years old, and
is regarded as one of the purest men
in Texas.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

Considering the fact that this Con-
gressional District has near five
thousand Democratic majority, max
ing the party nomination equivalent
to an election, in the natural order
of things engendering an extraor-
binary contest for the place, the
unanimity with which the nomina-
ton is received and acquiesced in is
indeed remarkable, and pressages an
increase of that majority for our
standard bearer, Gen. Benz. LeFevre.

The nomination of WIN. ALLEN by
the Republicans at Greenville, shows
their hypocritical love for the soldier,
and their pretended hatred of what
they term a "rebel sympathiser." Mr..
ALLEN was one of only five in Green
vile, who Joined the Sons of Liberty
in 1853, while Gen. LEFEvRE was out
defending his country, and yet the
editor of the Eaton Register and the
Ring of Eaton, yer all prepared to
swallow him down and swear he is a
pure patriot!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

Taking all the evidence together
in the Louisiana case, it is very evil
dent that the whole purpose of Mr..
John Sherman in going to New Or
leans was to promise rewards for such
returns as should count Mr.. Hayes
in. Whatever views the other visit
ing statesmen, or any among them,
may have entertained, John Sher
man was of the opinion that theway
to get a thing done was to offer a
consideration for it. His letter was
nothing extraordinary. He was
making just such offers, just such
assurances, just such promises, all
the time. The only popularity about
the letter was that it contained in
ink what he was all the while saying
orally. 1t is a very curious fact that
even Mrs. jerks does not pretend
that Sherman never made the identi
cal promises contained in the letter;
all she says is that she thought it
unnecessary and disrespectful to re-
quire him to put these promises in
writing. The testimony of Mr.. E.
L. Weber fully confirms the previous
evidence on this point. He says that
John Sherman sent for him; saw
him; and went directly to business
eff his brother was not satisfied he
would satisfy him. He wouzd see
that he GAS not only protected, 6ur
provided for" Thus Sherman prom
Used constantly-often by word o.
mouth, once in writing. He was
| there to make promises-to trade ant
traffic in behalf of his principal
Hayes, for the Presidency! Every
thing proves it.

We heard a Republican from Jack
son township remark to one from
Washington township the other day,
"a few dollars for the poor fellows
nnt of employment and bread, on
election day, will make them all right
again." So, SO; and that is the argu-
ment to be used to induce the labor
ing men in this county to vote the
Republican ticket. What do you
think of it, We poor men, are you for
sale?

ination as Democrats charge, and
thus >defe ated the will of the party,
how can honest Democrats support

the late appointment of Mr.. Clough,

HON. ]. =. MCKINNEY ON THE
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION,
[Piqua Democrat

(Piqua Democrat
A representative of the Miami
Democrat called on Hon. J. F. Nc
Kinney yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of obtaining his views of the
Congressional nomination and mat
tiers pertaining thereto. We found
him still disabled by his unfortunate
accident at Celina. The following is
a report of theinterview:
Reporter-Mr. Mckinney you at
tended the Sidney Convention / be-
lieve?
Mr.. Me- was in Sidney during
the sessions of the Convention, but
was confined to my bed by lameness.
/ spent about an hour in the Conven-
tion on Thursday morning which was
about all the time I was able to leave
my room.
Reporter-How about the nomina-
ton?
Mc.-Gen. Ben LeFevre received
the nomination after a %protracted but
good natuled struggle.
R. Some parties claim that MI.
Anderson was nominated at one
time.
M. That depends on the construc-
ton to be put upon a resolution OF
instruction by the Miami County
Convention. By the ruling of the
Chair Mr.. Anderson would have re-
ceived the nomination. The Con-
vention overruled the Chair which
gave the nomination to LeFevre.
But all doubts which might have ex-
listed before were removed by the
adoption of Mr.. Anderson's motion
which made General LeFevre the
unanimous choice of the Convention.
R. 1t is charged that corrupt prac-
tees were resorted to to secure the
nomination?
M. l have no personal knowledge
on the subject, Such charges are
not unusual by the friends of the
disappointed candidates after a Con-
vention. If these charges, on inves-
tigation should be found true we
should be as conservative towards
one of our own party as the Demo
Gratis of the House of Congress were
toward President Hayes in regard TO
the developments of the "Potter Com
mittee." We should leave him to
enjoy his position, and see that such
practices are never repeated in tn e
District. Our Republican friends,
at least will be stopped from making
complaint: Their purchase Of the
Presidency covered two hundred and
ninety three Congressional Districts.
R. What are Gen. LeFevre's pros
pects for election2
M. 1 have not been able to get out
among the people since the Conven-
ton, and am therefore unable to give
an intelligent opinion. There can
be no reasonable doubt about his
election. His majority ought to be
between four and five thousand. The
large National local interest involved
should bring out a strong support
for III nominee. 1t is possible that
the choice ofthe next Presidency may
devolye upon the House of Congress
to be elected this year. Ohio may
be the pivotal State, and our District
may determine the vote of Ohio.
Then the next Congress will have q
fierce financial struggle in which
every Democrat, "laboring man" and
business man of the District is inter
ested. With such interests involved
a Democrat cannot well afford to fal-
ter or hesitate.

The farmers and laboring men of
Preble county know hat the Repub-
lican party promised them good
times if kept in power, and they
know equally as well that they have

you willing to still give your vote for
the same men and m~easures2
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

Preble county had no representa-
tive in the Convention of Ohio Ma
tionals at Columbus last week. Those
in this county in favor of the policy
advocated by that party, know that
their only chance to now get what
they want is to vote with the Demo-
Gratis this fall, and they will do it.

Speaking of the appeal taken from
the chair at the Sidney Convention
the Troy Sentinel says, "and because
of this action of the Convention the
editors of the Miami Democrat
threaten to bolt. But this is moth
ing new for them-they have sold
out in other campaigns and why not
in this" Ho! no!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

If the Miami Democrat wants to
oppose the election of Gen. LEFEvRE,
it has that right, but when it as
sumes SO much as to demand his
withdrawal to crafty it alone, that
is spreading it OF too thick. There
are five other counties in the Dis.
trict that will give him the usual
Democratic vote, and the request is
simply absurd.

There is such an officer at Wash
ington as the presidential barber
who is paid from the Treasury. The
office was established by Grant and
is continued by Mr.. Hayes. The
barber attends to no other duties
than those pertaining to his profess
sion and which are required at the
White House, yet he is carried on
the Treasury roll as a clerk. Under
Grant he was rated as a $1,000 Off
cial, but Hayes has promoted him to
a $1400 berth. 1t is thus that the
peoples money is squandered while
want is staring thousands in the
face,

Gen. Ben. LeFevre, the Democrat
ic candidate for Congress in the Aug

When Mr.. HAYES stumped the
State of Ohio for Governor, he told
the people here in Eaton, 'there's a
good time coming" When in the

tour, he should have called around

The time now fixed for a general
strike on the railroads and among
miners, is the 18th of this month. 1t
is only the "dead BEATS" and loafers

The Cincinnati Times thinks the
Republicans of Ohio, "between the
performances of their President and
of their distinguished Republican
Senator, have become somewhat con-
fused and dizzy" and recommends a
perusal of the platform of the Iowa
Republicans to clear and steady their
heads. The Iowa document hasn't
a word about endorsement"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

There is something of a racket
among the Democratic candidates
for county offices about a conven-
ton. Some of them want a conven-
tion and some don't.-Register.
What kind of a "racket" is that
among Republicans about certain
townships hoging it on the offices?
Better look into your own ranks,
Bobby.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

In the Miami Democrat of July
9th, we find the following editorial
which indicates that the paper eth
er said what it did not believe then,
or is doing so now:
"The Democratic newspapers of
the District have ably and fairly pre-
sented the merits of their respective
county candidates for the Congress
sional nomination. The candidates
are ALL men WORTHY and COMPETENT
to represent the District"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-08-01

This thing of turning out of Office
fat Republicans and putting in lean
Democrats, is an outrage that should
not be tolerated. The whole coun-
try ought to rise up in arms against
it. Bro. Williams will please take
command.
