IT makes a mighty difference whether
it is your OK er mine that is to be gored.
The Chillicothe Advertiser( Dem. } in speak
ing of the political campaign in that coun-
ty says, after the nominations have been
made: @
'tThe battle was won on Saturday when
an unimpeac chable ticket was put into the
field. Now, shoulder to shoulder, once
more together, let us go to work and pile
up the majOrities."
Ross county is Democratic county; at
least it is so regarded by the Democratic
party. Fayette county is, undisputably,
a Republican county; consequently, the
Register, of this place, says:
owe predict more independence in vot-
ing in Ohio, this fall, than was ever be-
fore known. The party leaders will find
that the party lash has lost its terror to
the men who cast the ballots.'
From these two paragraphs it will be
seen that the party lash is to be applied
to the sluggish Democrats of Democratic
Ross, while in Republican Fayette brother
Kerr, in very transparent manner, at
tempts to make Republicans believe that
his party leaders have abandoned the use
of their old party cudgels, and are going
to allow their voters to vote independent
ly. We caution our Republican friends
to be on the watch-tower. Such para
graphs as this are only intended to de-
eeiVe you. You may depend upon it, that
the Democratic party-lash will be applied
in this county to the Democratic voters
more vigorously than ever before; yet, at
the same time, they will talk to you about
independent voting, and the horrors and
barbarities of the party-1ash.
In Ross county the Democratic party
edict is, shoulder to shoulder-once
more together" and in Fayette county
the same word of command is given the
Democratic voters by the leaders who
WELD the party-lash-though in a secret
and confidential way-while to you, with
a hypocritical smile, brother Kerr says:
owe predict more independence in vot-
ing IN Ohio, this fall, than was ever be-
fore known. The party leaders will find
that the party-lash has lost its terror to
men who cast the ballots"
Is that the kind of predictions Demo-
cratic editors make in Democratic coun-
ties where they can carry the elections
without the aid of Republican votes
Not a bit of it. In this brother Kerr i'm
| agines he has captured remarkably cum
ming idea; butit requires no great amount
OF sagacity to comprehend the design OF
the brother. 1t is as transparent as moon
shine, and its author regarded as a shall
low humbug.

GOV. Williams, of Indiana. is added to
the list of public officials who have ex1
hibited more sympathy for criminals than
regard for the interests of society. in ex-
ercising the pardoning power. Governor
bishop, Coy. Hendricks, and President
Hayes and Grant are in the same boat. In
fact, Tom Young is the only executive
that we know of, who has had the nerve
to do right, in this respect. The propor-
tion of criminals that have been pardoned
by some of the above named officials, is
positively an outrage on society Belle
tontatne Republican.
That is just what we think; and we
know of a host of people who think the
same way.

TIE Democrats in Ohio claim to be the
only friends of the greenback circulating
medium. In view of the fact that they
denounced the whole greenback theory
and practice as Republican or Union
fraud, and every one of them who, un-
fortunately for the cause of the Union,
happened to be in Congress at the time
the bill was upon its passage, voted
against it, is it not, to use the expression
of brother editor in similar case,
''taking the form of a brassy pretention
to immense virture'' for them to claim to
be the only true friends of the greenback
currency? That is the way every sensi-
BILE man must view the situation. 1t is
nothing short of ''brassy pretention to
immense virtue"

Congressional Convention.

If we should be called upon to give our
opinion as to the most judicious choice to
make, from among the several able and
competent Republican gentlemen named
as candidates for nomination for Con-
gress in the 9th Congressional district,
from our standpoint, we should say that
Hon. Mills Gardner, of Fayette county,
has, at least, no superior among them.-
Mr.. Gardner is at this time our represent
ative Of the old Sd district, and as a mem
ber of Congress at the last session, has
made for himself and his constituents a
record that he and they may well feel
proud of. Mr.. G. has, perhaps, more
legislative experience than any one now
talked of in the district for the nomina-
ton, having filled honorably seat in
each of the branches of the State Legis-
1ature, and also the position as member,
from this county, of the late Constitu-
ton Convention, would be equal to the
emergency on the rostrum in the discus
ion of the principles at issue between the
political parties with his opponent, being
we'll posted in the science of Government
and the political issues of the day, and
a ready and forcible debator; and, added
to this, Mr.. G. possesses fine social quail
ties which make him, at once, a favorite
with all who may chance to form his ac-
quaintanee.
Mr.. Gardner is not making any effort
to secure the nomination. He has been
gerrymandered out of his district by a
most unjust redistricting of the State and
placed in district which would, it was
thought, most surely consign him to
private life, from the fact that the De-
mocracy claim 1900 majority in the die
trict. Mr.. G., as we have already re-
marked, is not making any effort to Sc
cure the nomination; yet, If it should be
the wish of the Republican Conven tion
to confer the nomination upon him, he
would not feel at liberty to decline, but
would respond af1rmatively to their wish.

and ability worthy of success.
