Morton, Steele Co, MINI. July {,
There are certain kinds Of fabrics
which require for their manufacture
IL wool which is produced by tn,
crossing Of the Mrrinos with th,
long woods. In France and Ger.
many the Mcrino and grades pro.
duciug similar wool, have been
crossed with English long g-wOoled
rams, for the purpose Of obtaining
this wool. Some years ago Siuilal
crosses were made Oh the farm OF
the Michigan State agricultural
college, and the wool from the
crosses brought more in the Boston
market than could be obtained tm
good McrinO wool produced OH the
same farm the same years.
Some time since Il subscriber sent
us a sample of wool produced from
sheep that were crosses of the
Melino with Il CotswOld ram, and
we submitted it to some of our
leading wool dealers, who pro
nounced it better wool than could
be produced from the pure breeds,
and they agreed in the opinion that
one cross was an improvement. We
hope, however, that some of our
breeders will write MS their views,
as requested by our correspondent.

LESSON LEAVES" {"

Three young ladies were walking g
down Main street the other day when one
of them reached out piece Of candy and
said, do you want G bite2 mo, said
one, "bites are plenty, this is flea time !"
just then the third one made a spasmod-

came up. Did she have bite? We pre-

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

The Democratic theory is that all prop
erty is theft-that the man who saves
part of his earnings, to be used in sick
ness or old age or to aid his children in
beginning in the world, is a scoundrel.
This talk, which you will find in the
lower class of Democratic papers, edited
by ignorant brutal demagogues, is in
tended as an appeal to the most degraded
class of loafers and criminals. You will
find such stuff every week in such sheets
as the Jackson Herald
The Democratic party always, as par
ty, gives the lie direct to these low dem
agogues and scoundrels of the party.
Only a short time ago the Waverly
Watchman could oppose Mr.. Trip, Re-
publican candidate for Judge, because, it
said, he was wealthy; but now, we sup
pose, it will support Mr.. Emmitt for Con-
gress, and he has more wealth than any
twenty other men in the district. We
have no doubt that Mr. Emmitt pays
more taxes on his property each year
than all the property of Mr.. Trip, real
and personal, is worth.
How is it in this county? Philip Mel
dick, candidate for Commissioner is a
wealthy man. He has large sums of
money loaned out at ten per cent. Any
man who can give good security, can get
Money from Mr.. Meldick. See mortgage
records, where he has taken security for
money loaned. Now understand us we
say he is ali right in this. He got his
money honestly, by industry and econo-
my, and he is Just as much entitled to
interest for its use as the owner of a
house is entitled to rent for the use of
the house, which is only part of his earn
ings saved in another shape. But the
Democratic theory is that he is the natu-
raj enemy Of "the pore laboring man
John L. Long, their candidate for Pro
bate Judge, is wealthy man. He would
not touch twenty-five thousand dollars
for his farm alone.
Aaron Mclaughlin is a farmer in very
good circumstances. But more of this

LONG AND EMMITT.

We have ever regarded John L. Long
as an honest, consistent, and fearless
temperance man For this he has al
ways had our respect and kind wishes.
We know the embarrassing position in
which he is placed. He is on the same
ticket with James Emmitt What is his
duty, as an honest, conscientious man
Our course would be to notify the Demo
cratic party that we could not vote for
Emmitt, aud if that did not suit them,
they must get another man We do not
know what course Mr.. Long may pursue,
but if he is the honorable, true man that
we have always taken him to be, he will
sooner have clean conscience than to
be Probate judge of Jackson county.
What say you, Mr. Long?

HOW IT WORKS.

The Republican convention in this
and most of the other districts, had sense
enough to discard Dicksmith and Gros-
venor's foolery at Cincinnati. But it
seems that the convention at Macarthur,
which nominated Mr.. Horton. could not
see it, and resolved,
That the Republicans of the Tenth
Congressional District, in convention as
sembled, hereby affirm and ratify the
declaration of principles enunciated by
the Republican State Convention at Gin
cinnati, June u, 1878.
Here is one of these resolutions, which
they affirm and ratify:
Third-The financial question having
been disposed Of by Congress, and the
country at present needing repose, in or
der that capital may seek investment,
and that industries may revive, thus in
creasing the demand for labor, the situa-
ton ought to be accepted, and we oppose
the further agitation of the question at
this time as Injurious to business, and de
void Of other than evil results.
We find this in the Pomeroy Teie-
graph:
We relied upon our associate, Mr.. E. S.
Trussell, who was present at the serenade
given to Mr.. Horton by the Middleport
| Silver Cornet Band Oh Saturday night t
last, to write up full account of the
same; but he left so hurriedly on his
Mammoth Cave trip that he had no op-
portunity to do So The demonstration
was gotten up almost impromptu, and
yet was participated in by three or four
hundred of the citizens of the two places.
Mr.. Horton spoke about three-quarters
of an hour in his usual happy vein, treat
ing first of the manner in which his can
didacy was brought about which he said
was not of his seeking, and from that
branching off upon the finances and other
political issues of the day. His speech
seems to have given excellent satisfaction
to those present.
If the platforms upon which Mr.. Hor-
ton stands are correct, when he branched
off upon the finances, he was injuring
business, and bringing about evil results.

POLITICAL NOTES-NO. 2.
sell-0ut-Congressional and Judicial

The Democracy of the 18th Con
gressional District met in convention in
Waverly on the Goth, and sold out to the
highest bidder. The prolonged struggle
was ominous of a political tragedy, but
the sequel proved it to be ludicrous
farce. The mountains labored and a
ridiculous mouse was brought forth.
James Emmitt, the ignoramus, has been
nominated. This will be the cause of an
immediate revival of trade-in whisky.
The fires in his distillery will be re-
kindled and barrels of whisky for cam
paign purposes in this district will be
produced. Emmitt's money and EN-
mitts whisky were arguments too pow
erful for Democratic delegates to with
stand. By their influence was he nomi
mated, and it is only through their infu-
ence that he has the slightest hope of
election. He thinks that what these
two potent instruments can not accom-
plish it is beyond the power of man to do,
and it is upon this idea that his cam
paign will be based. His appeal will be
addressed, not to mems reason, but to
their passions and appetites. Intellec
tually he is the weakest man that was
before the convention, and the least fit
to fill the position to which he aspires.
If elected, his whole time and attention
would be devoted to legislation in favor
of whisky. Already has he made
,Nrinoolu ont of ha ,,Fa I'm
Of this article, and he would be the first
man in Congress to assist in getting such
laws passed as would place another for
tune in his pocket.
Whenever it has been for his benefit
he has not scrupled to crush the poor
man. The Springfield, Jackson & Pom
eroy R. R., of which he was for time,
the President, runs into this District, and
that fact is going to do him great dam
age; for men with whom he transacted
business in connection with this R. R.
are not going to vote for him very early
or very often. He has trampled them
into the dust in order that his Golfers
might be filed. 1t would be miserable
loI &c " oSuu d lIldIl Vi lis stamp W rep
resent District such as ours When
such man can secure the nomination
over an opponent like Hon. o. F. Moore.
it is patent to every one what kind of
influence was brought to bear on the
Convention.
Jackson county killed Judge DuHad-
way. She stuck to Emmitt first, last,
and all the time. Scioto was entirely ig-
nored by her, and after the nomination
of Emmitt, to get even with Jackson,
Scioto slaughtered DuHadway, and nom
mated McGillivray for Judge. So far as
legal ability is concerned, Mr.. McGilli-
vray is certainly the weakest man before
the Convention. He has been engaged
in the practice of law for about eight |
years. He has not had half the expert |
ence that his opponents have had, and
not one-third the experience that Mr..
rripp has had. This is very important

CAMPAIGN OPENED.

Last Saturday speeches were made at
different points in Ohio, by Judge VIM
II. West, Gen. Garfield, Charles Foster
and C. H. Grosycnor. We confess that
we dreadad to hear from these men. No
four men in Ohio were more obiectiona-
bic to genuine Republicans than these
four. The Cincinnati Gazette of Monday
had a supplement containing all these
speeches in full All of them kicked the
miserable thing called the Cincinnati
platform out of their way, and discussed
the financial question very fully. Not
one of them we believe, mentioned the
name Of Hayes, or had one word to say
in his defense. This was very different
from. the performances of Matthews and
Grosvenor at this place last fall
These speeches, and the actions of most
of the Republican conventions, convince
us that the Republican party is once
more clothed, and in its right mind, and
deserves success.
The Cincinnati Times of Monday, in
speaking of these speeches says:
In. all of the four speeches of Saturday,
there was but one reference to the course
of the Administration Mr.. Fosters and
that by way OF apology, and of lamenta-
ton at its unfortunate results. The
great bulk of argument was in behalf of
honest money and the presentment
made was exceedingly vigorous. The
remainder of the attack was addressed to
the atroclous performance of Democracy
since their partial return to power.
Their pitiful misgovernment in this
State and their malfeasance in Congress,
have placed weapons in the hands of the
Republicans which, together with their
attempt to convulse the whole country
by the widest initiation, and the perma
nent establishment of rag money" can
leave little doubt of their complete dis
comfture. Once more, after a most dis
tressing interval of generalization, the
Republicans of Ohio stand solidly togeth
er, eager for the fray and confident oil
the result

WILLIAM J. KIRKENDALL.

1t will be seen by the proceedings of
Prohibition Convention that William J.
Kirkendall, of this county, received the
nomination for Congress. There is no
better man in this Congressional District
than Mr. Kirkendall He is man of
unimpeachable honesty and integrity,
and of pure moral character, and his
ability is not inferior to that of MAORI
ty Of the candidates for Congress of the
two great parties in Ohio. We have
known Mr.. Kirkendall intimately and
we'll, for many years, and know whereof
we speak.
1t might be asked, why we do not sup
port Mr.. Kirkendall, as we are in perfect
accord on the temperance question? The
reason is, we believe human rights and
equality are in more danger now than
before the war. Until the Constitution
of the United States, with all its amend
ments, is carried out all over the land,
we are Republican first, and Prohibi-
ZIONIST second, in our political action.
And then Mr.. Neal is as sound temper
ance man as is Mr.. Kirkendall.

"POOR MEN"

We have been hearing good deal from
the especial friends and champions of
the poor men" whatever that term i'm
plies. AS we do not care to engage in
demagogism of any kind, we are disposed
to admit the justice of the Democratic
claim. 1t would be useless to dispute it.
1t is shown in the action of their ConVen-
tions Take, as an example, our last
Democratic County Convention. Does
any man believe that there is Democrat
in Jackson county who would make a
better Sheriff, or better canvass, than
Benjamin Trago? Does any man doubt
the genuineness, or the consistency, of
SANDY" Leach's Democracy Yet both
Trago and Leach were entirely too
wealthy and aristocratic for the Demo
cratic managers, so they were cast aside
and poor furnace and coal mine owner
Zeke Jones was nominated. OF course
all the coal miners and furnace hands are
expected to vote for Jones-because he
is poor man, and the poor mans friend
AT the Democratic Congressional Con-
vehtion, at Waverly, such wealthy, bond
holding aristocrats as James W. Newman,
Arch. Mayo. Oscar F. Moore, Irvine Dun
gan and others, were cast aside, and q
poor distiller, by the name of Emmitt,
was nominated. We might go on, and
enumerate other instances, but those that
we have cited will perhaps be sufficient
cratic party is, pre- eminently, the friend
of the poor man.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1878-08-29

The initial paragraph in the last issue
of the Jackson Herald disclaims inten-
ton of further noticing" BRO. Mack
ley" it accordingly proceeds at once to
"go for BRO. Mackley" in paragraphs
and leaders to the extent of several col
umns. Bro. Mackley, we notice is, even
more than ever, a discomforting thorn in
the sides of the Jackson county Bour-
bons.-[ Athens Messenger.
And the Christian gentleman who edits
the Herald, leads prayer meetings and
teaches Sabbath School class, called the
editor of the Standard "Possom ears
twenty-six times in the same number of
his paper; but he had not sense enough
to spell the word Possum correctly sim
gle one of the twenty six times. That is
the kind of argument a Democratic
editor uses to convince intelligent men
that they should put Democrats into
Office.
