HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY.

Two years ago we were writing up the
history of Jackson county, getting our
facts principally from the public records
and our own personal recollections. We
got up to the commencement of the
great Welsh immigration into the coun-
ty, between the years 1885 and 1910.
We then got into the heat of the great
Presidential campaign, and our historical
notes were suspended. We will now
note few facts which have transpired
during the past twenty years.
The Democrats had generally held the
county offices from the organization of
that party, in the year 1882, up to the
year 1858. Jackson was a Democratic
county. Even as late as the year 1856
James Buchanan, Democrat, carried the
county by 375 majority
In the year 1858 the Republicans car
ried the county, and have had control
ever since. When they got control they
found the county one hundred thousand
dollars in debt. No improvements had
been made for many years. 1t had been
forty years since the old court house and
Jail had been erected. The few bridges
across the creeks were the rudest struc-
lures, put up by the township road su-
pervsors. There had been sinking
fund of twelve to fifteen thousand dol
lars accumulated, on the railroad debt.
This, the Democratic officials loaned to
themselves, and nearly all of it they lost
in private speculation.
During the past twenty years, under
Republican management, all of the one
hundred thousand dollars of indebted
ness has been paid. A fine court house
and Jail have been built, the public
square has been graded, fenced and i'm
proved; a fine farm has been purchased,
and a substantial Inirmary erected,
where the poor and unfortunate are
amply and tenderly provided and cared
for. Substantial bridges, of the latest
and most improved plans, now span the
streams on all the most public roads.
Taxes have not been oppressive, and to
day Jack kson' county owes no man a dol
lar, and there is a handsome surplus in
the treasury. Not a dollar has been lost

CONGRESS-.

Next week the convention to nominate
candidate for Congress, on the Republi-
can ticket, in this district, will meet in
Portsmouth. If the convention will act
with only moderate degree of common
sense, the nominee can be elected Put
good candidate before the people, and
then pass Republican resolutions, or pass
no resolutions at ALL and success is pret-
ty sure. But if the convention under
take to indorse Hayes, or even to indorse
the miserable stuff got up at Cincinnati
by Grosvenor and Smith, then the can
didate will be beaten by at least one
thousand in the district. Let the dele
gates remember that even Charles Fos-
ter, one of the traffickers of the Worm
ley Hotel business, and even the Cincin-
natl Gazette, show signs of going back on
the rebel policy, 1t won't do. The can
didate on the Republican ticket must
run as a Republican, and not as a rebel,
if he hopes to have any chance of being
elected.

THE jackson Standard wants US to say
upon our honor whether or no we believe
Col. Vance to be insane. We have not
met Vance since his return from Califor-
MIA, hence of our personal knowledge
know nothing about his condition. Drs.
Newton, Needham and Vance, of this
city, were the examining physicians as to
his mental condition, before Probate
Judge Kent. Upon their statements he
was adjudged insane by the Court, and
sent to Athens. 1t must certainly be
presumed these NJ. DIS knew what they
were doing at the time of the examina-
tion. II [Gallipolis Ledger.
Just as we supposed. George D. Heb
ard, editor of the Ledger is an honest
man. Like George Washington, he can
not tell a lie. He could very easily have
said whether he believed what these doc
tors said, or whether he believed they
were fixing up case to suit the circum
stances.
We believe, from what we have heard
that there is not an honest man in CALI
polls, save and except these three doc
tors, who will say upon their honor tnat
they believe Vance is really insane.

President Hayes reception at Colum-
bus, last Saturday, was Of the cool order
it seems, only about $50 people being at
the depot and no demonstration of any
kind was made'in his honor. Columbus
must be composed principally Of ''sore-
heads" and two or three postmasters and
their families, or the reception would
have been different. = Marion Mirror.
1T was supposed, of course, that the
President would give fat office to every
male Columbuster over 2l years of age.
He didn't He couldn't He wouldn't
have done it if he could Hence, Colum-
bus doesn't see any utility in having one
of her citizens elected to the Presidency.
It doesn't pan out. "-[Springfeld Repub
lie.
There it is again. According to the
Hayes papers, a whole city-an entire
State, cannot repudiate traitor only
through selfish motives. Now we must
conclude that Mr.. Nichols, who wrote the
above, is a "Christian Worker" and a
friend oftemperance, and Sabbath Schools
not from love for God and his fellow
men, but only because he expects to get
Office, or make money thereby. Strange
that decent honest men, do not get
ashamed of such logic.

DEMOCRATIC DISHONESTY

When a man looks around among his
neighbors, he will notice that in private
business matters, there is no difference
as to honesty between a Democrat and a
Republican. We speak in general. OF
course, comparisons could be made in
individual cases, to the discredit of either
of the parties Then is it true that Dem
ocratic officials are more apt to steal than
are Republicans and if so, why? We
think we can look upon this matter
without prejudice, and we know that the
public records prove conclusively that
there are at least five Democratic officials
who become defaulters or thieves, to
one Republican who commits the same
crime. Is there any cause for this, and
if SO, why?
We believe there is satisfactory cause
for this. The over-shadowing principle
of Democracy for the past thirty years
has been that human bondage was right.
For this the party went into rebellion, to
establish new government, the corner
stone of which, according to its Vice
President, was to be human bondage
Democracy means to let the strong
wiring their bread from the sweat of
other mems faces. 1t is organized rob
berry and theft. Now if party is based
upon robbery and theft how easy it IS
for an officer to persuade himself that if
it is Democracy to rob and steal from
the helpless negro all his earnings, and
even his wife and children, how Gao it
be any harm to rob and steal from the
rich taxpayer part of the taxes he pays
into the public treasury.
Carrying out this fundamental princi-
pie Of the Democratic party, we find it
one of its leading ideas that those who
loaned their money to aid the Govern
ment in putting down the pro-slavery,
Democratic rebellion, should be swindled
out of their money.
Democracy does not stop here. Some
time ago we saw leading Democratic
official going around with the book of
the French infdel Proudhon, and poking
it into the faces Of honest men, and brag-
ging that the infdel declared that all
property is theft Democratic papers,
and Democratic orators, for years have
been endeavoring to educate the ignorant
and vicious classes up to that point, and
| now no mans property is safe. All men
who, by industry and economy, have
saved property, whether it be much or
little, are to be regarded as thieves and
robbers, and to be plundered whenever
opportunity offers. This country is on
the very brink of a volcano, where the
property of the industrious and honest is
in danger of being seized or destroyed
by an overpowerng mob, made desperate
| by Democratic teaching.
Should such party be put into power,
or kept in power2 Let all honest men
answer in October.

PERJURY-TRUTH.

The Supreme Court Commission Of Ohio
quite comment in the Eastern papers,
although there is no new principle in
volved. The decision is that a person
cannot be sworn as a witness who does
not believe in a God, or in future punish
ment for crimes committed here.
Commenting upon this decision, the
New York Observer gets off some fanatic
al tomfoo!ery, and says that an infdel
cannot, and ought not to be believed un
der oath, and seems to think that Bob
Ingersoll, whom it names, could not be a
witness in Ohio. The Observer does not
seem to know much about the laws of
Ohio A man can be witness in this
State who neither believes in God nor a
devil, or in any kind of punishment. If
he choose, he may affirm, which has no
reference whatever to religious belief, or
to future punishment only so far as the
laws of the State punish perjury.
The Observer is but a poor observer of
the current history and experience Of
mankind, if it thinks that oaths, or re-
ligious beliefs prevent men from commit
ting perjury. Its fling at Ingersoll, the
infdel, comes with a strange tone of sar-
casnl, when we think of the testimony in
the great Beecher case, where prominent
and d-professing Christians committed
most willful and corrupt perjury. And
look at the testimony before the Potter
Committee, or, for that matter, the testi-
mony in any of our courts. 1t is false
hood, and contradiction by witnesses ev-
cry where.
The devil is liar, and the father of it.
One of the grandest attributes of God is
truth He that loves God with all his
soul, and mind, and strength, loves truth
in the same manner, for God is truth. 1t
is not the fear of hell, or the devil, that
prevents men from committing perjury J;
it is the love of God, or truth, if you
please The man who is in the habit of
telling lies, will always commit perjury
when he has the opportunity, and all
men of experience know this to be SO,
and our law makes this the test in cases
of impeachment.

The New York Times refers to the
peace secured in the South, under the
pacifcation policy, in the following arti
Gle:
"a day or two ago it was announced by
telegraph that four negroes had been
murdered in Ouachita Parish, in Louis
lana. They were taken from the Jail by
armed and masked men and hanged
Some two months ago it was announced
that five black men had been murdered
in the Parish of Feliciana, in the same
State. In both instances, mock inves-
tigation resulted in the declaration that
the crimes were committed by unknown
men. OF course there had in reality
been no sincere effort to discover the
murderers. How many similar cases of
outrage upon colored citizens have oc-
Cured in Louisiana during this interval,
will never be known. There is not Re-
publican newspaper published in Louis
| lana, and the only sources of information
on such subjects are the reports which
occasionally leak out from an intensely
| partisan and not prescriptions Demo
cratic press. The information which
comes from private sources leads to the
belief that the political campaign just
beginning is to be conducted accordin g
to the same methods which, unhappily
for the cause of humanity and popular
government, have been attended with
such signal success in the Southern
| States. The following extract from a
letter written a few days ago by Louis
lana planter of high respectability affords
a painful but reliable picture of the con-
dition of things in the country parishes
of one of the interior Congressional dis
tricts "The native Republicans in this
part of the State are to be pited. Most
of them are quite poor, and they are os-
tracized in business and socially. The
colored people are less protected in their
rights than they were under the old reg
ime. 1t is common thing for negroes
to be taken out at night by armed men
and whipped, and then they are told that
if they make complaint they will be Wis
tied again. And these are the fruits OF

Many of the papers are bowling about
the Democratic law of last winter, regu-
lating the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home at Xenia. No use to howl Dem
ocrats hate Union soldiers, and they hate
their children. We happened to be
present in the Ohio Senate when the
law was passed permitting the soldiers of
the Home in Dayton to vote, and we will
never forget the iendish rage manifested
by the Democratic Senators as they
gnashed their teeth and rushed from the
Senate Chamber.
Last week we published portions of the
law in reference to the Home 1t is said
that the provisions of the law most OBJ
jectionable, will not be carried out, and
that they will be repealed next winter,
and that not single child will be turned
out of the Home.
1t will never do to trust Democrats
These promises are only made to deceive
voters The man who trusts the Demo
cratic party to do justice to soldiers or
their orphans, will be deceived Mark

The Cincinnati Gazette some time ago
published a statement Of the Democratic
counties in the State in which there had
been delalcations. The Bucyrus journal
has published a revised list. The follow
ing is included in the result of Mr.. Hop
ley's Investigations No, of Democratic
counties in the State. (average) 46. No.
of Democratic in which there are defal-
cations, 81. Thus it appears that nearly
one half of the Democrats in whom pub
lie trusts have been reposed, have de-
stroyed those trusts and have turned out
as the meanesI class of criminals; yet
there are Democrats, who, with this dam
nable record resting upon the shoulders
of their party, will ask the people to put
Democrats in office, so that we may have
reform, and economical government

THE Ohio Baptist Association is held
this year with the Ice Creek Church (sev-
en- miles from Ironton), commencing
Wednesday, August l4th." = (Ironton
Register.
We always like to hear of the old Ohio
Baptist Association. 1t was organized in
the year 1919, we believe at Storms Creek
Church, Lawrence county. The father
of the editor of the Standard was dele
gate from Union Church, when the Asso-
citation was organized We think this
Association has met on the Saturday be-
fore the second Sabbath in August every
year since its organization. In the years
1924 and 1880 it held its sessions with
Union Church, in the woods where Oak
Hill is now located We had the min
utes of this Association up to the year
1915, when they were lost For many
years the name of John Lee, Moderator,
and Peter Lion barger, Clerk, appeared in
these minutes. Among the other names
prominent, were John Kelly, John
Young, VIM Fuson, Wm. Fuqua, VIM
George, and many others.

not only be especially gratifying to his

Gen. Banks made speech in Boston
few weeks ago, from which we take the
following extract:
What have we been taught that the
word Republican means? 1t means the
defence of the country; it means the
flag at which this enemy is aiming its
efforts, and to US Republicans the coun-
try must owe its continued salvation.
We must fight the war over again, and
this time we must make our victory
more decisive. Washington, Jackson
and Lincoln each and all tried to crush
it, but it still lives and its power is yet a
menace to the Republic. Let US direct
our efforts wholly against this, the great
est evil that we have to contend with,
not giving a damn in the meanwhile for
gold money or paper money. Applause. ]
l don't know how political victories are
won, although 1 have been long time
in politics, but this one must be won at
all hazards, for the safety of the country
demands it. l am for building up the
South, but I am against it if it under
takes to perpetuate the objects and pur-
poses of that terrible war which cost us
100000 lives and brought US no advan-
tages.
From this we would judge that he is q
rather 'stalwart Republican" And this
speech was made before the present re-
bellion in South Carolina came to a head
