OHIO DEMOCRACY.
A Sound Platform in the View of a
Member of the Greenback State
Executive Committee.

Correspondence OF the Register.
FAIRvGEw, HANCOCK Co, Juue Is.
The resolutions passed by the Ohio
Democracy in State Convention, on
Wednesday last form the soundest
political platform that has yet been con-
structed TO express the necessities OF the
times. In the promulgstion from so
eminent source with such unanimity, o!
a creed so Catholic and self-commenda-
tory, there is manifest destiny. II pre-
destines the triumph of the Democracy
not only in Ohio, but in the Union
triumph that will be attended with the
election Of Thurman to the Presidency,
and followed by an era OF better govern
ment and better times. The true friend
of the greenblck policy and of strugghr :
labor in West Virginia will render
earnest consideration to every plank OF
that platform-the one upon which in
dustry's relief from the burdensOmo cX-
actions of capital must be builded, ard
so long ~ no may fairly trust (gs, may

Ohio have pledged themselves unto, he
will hesitate long before seeking any
new organization with which to commit
the fortunes of interests SO dear TO him
The resolutions, brief and general as they
were, adopted only the day before those
of Ohio, By the Congressional Executive
Committee Of this District, concluslvely
show (or, if not conclusively they are at
least strong evidenCe) that the Democra-
cy OF this State are in accord with the
Columbus platform.
The progress OF the growing crop Of
corn up until the present, has been very
slow, and the prospects were discourag-
ing; but the warm weather which set IN q
few days ago, followed by the heavy warm
rains of yesterday have already given a
turn for the better, and the crop now
promises well. Wheat, the harvesting OF
which is Just about to commence, not
withstanding some drawback caused by
the fly and rust, will yet give yield OF
above average abundance. Oats never
looked better. Potatoes promise finely
the bug being less harmful than for some
wears past. Wool is looking up-some
buyers in the neighborhood opening out
at 30 cents, but no sellers yet.
The new public school house IN course
Of erection in this place will contain four
school rooms on the first floor, the second
floor forming public hall, which will be
the largest one ia the Panhandle outside
of WneeiRg.
No attention will be paid TO the Fourth
of July in this quarter, except by the
Sunday Schools. Singular that an event
so purely political as was the proclana'
tion made from the steps Of the old State
House at Philadelphia, should be so gen
orally adopted for celebration by organi'
zations so purely religious.

Spec!A Dispatch 10 the Enquirer.
CANTON, June 27.-There was great
excitement last evening ana this morn
ing when It WAS discovered that q deficit
supposed 10 be from $4,000 to $4,000,
was discovered in the County Treasury,
and that George Fessler, the Treasurer,
had not been seen since Saturday even
ing last. The arst suspicion OF any dis
crepsrcy in the funds was the discovery
by the Deputy Treasury that
the time lock- when he closed
the safe on Monday evening, failed to
lock the money chest IS usual, the time
set being P. NJ. He Immediately com
municsted the isct to one Of the County
Commissioners, when so examination OF
the funds was had. 1t was discovered.
on comparison of the books with the
money, that there was n cash deficit Ot
$50, 900 of the June collection. The Com
missIoners, therefore, took possession Of
the office AMI closed the doors.
Geotge Fessler Was 4 man Of generous
impulses, kind husband and father, ani
u msn who enjoyed the public con adencs
in n very large degree, irrespective Of
party. His family are much distressed
over the sad calamity that has so unex-
pectedly tsIlen on them. Fessler was OF
n yielding and obhgiRg disposition, and
is undoubtedly the victim of misplaced
confidence in the way of irredeemable
loans and false promises.
An investigation is now going on, and
the worst will not bo known FOR several
days, he is supposed to have gone to
Canada. Detectives have been en-
ployed - work up tho case.
