Some of the Republicans in the lower
end of the County say that they will teach
the ring in Jackson lesson at the Octo-
Der election that the townships which
give the Republican nominees their sue
cess were left out in the cold by the ring
in Jackson who ''set up the pegs" and
now they will give them a lesson which
will last them for years. Herald
What very silly lie that is. Il it
means any thing, it refers to the town
ships of Madison and Jefferson. Madison
township has had VIM. j. Evans Repre-
sentative in the Legislature, Joseph Rule
Commissioner three years. and Infirmary
Directory three years, J. L. Jones Prose
cutting Attorney eight years, and John j.
G. Evans Probate Judge nine years, and
he will be elected this fall for three years
more
Jefferson has had T. L. Hughes, Com
missioner six years, Samuel Gilliland
Commissioner six years, DR.. Williams, t.
L. Hughes and T. ]. Harrison Represen-
tatives in the Legislature, W. Fl. Horton
Clerk, and Enoch H Lewis Recorder.

Mackley says that, "as an individual
we have never paid one cent of tax into
the County Treasury" According to
Mackley's reasoning, if we were an entire
stranger in the County, and saw some
fellow robbing the Treasury, it would be
none of our business, and we would have
no right to give the alarm That's about
the kind of argument we would expect to
come from Treasury leech, and scoffer
at christianity II Herald.
What good thing it is 10 have car
pet bagger come into the county and
watch such old citizens as Van johnson,
George W. Brown and John S. McGhee,
to keep them from robbing the Treasury.
What pity that he was not here twenty
years ago, when Democrats held all the
county offices, and when that little Iron
Valley transaction took place, by which
the taxpayers lost over ten thousand
dollars through Democratic officials.
And Bro. Gould talks about Treasury
Leech. How long has it been, Bro Could
since your bill for certain piece of work
for the county was $500, and our bill for
the same thing was only 81 so? Oh shan, e
on you, Bro Gould And you talk about
scotfer at Christianity. We do not
scof at Christianity, but we intend to
make it hot for all hypocrites, shams, and
religious dead BEATS

Occasionally we find an idiot in the
employ of bondholder who says it would
, have been better if the last Congress had
not convened. That Congress cut down
appropriations millions of dollars below
Republican appropriations, it remonetiz-
ed silver, it stopped contraction, it in
creased the value of the greenback, and
these acts were beneficial to the masses.
No wonder the hired tools of the money
aristocracy howl. The Congress has de-
served the respect of the masses and the
Democracy will not lose by reason of any
act of its Congressional represen tatives.-
Portsmouth Times.
5G The Democrats have had full control
Of the House of Representatives for
three or four years, and the President
and the Senate have not been in the way;
the Democrats have had the Ohio Legis-
lature and the Governor. Now will the

Everywhere in the South we see Re-
publican organizations abandoned-so far
as the means of entering the campaign
are concerned the party is extinct. Ad-
ministration organs are endeavoring to
divert attention by foolish talk of the
Republicans having it in their power to
elect independent" candidates. The
independents are as Democratic as the
regulars, only little worse The fact
remains that the Administration has
wiped out the Republican organization
in the South. 1t is silly now to talk of
Northern Republicans stumping the
Southern States. There will be no Re-
publican committees to arrange for them,
and no Republican nominees to speak
for The South is solid.-[Cincinnati

GOD PITY HIM.

Poor Hayes has touched bottom. and
we let him alone. He left Columbus
about the first of March, 1877, amid the
music Of bands, and the shouts o. the
people. He had been three times elected
Governor of the great State of Ohio, and
then President of the United States. No
wonder the people honored him.
On last Saturday, at three o'clock, he,
for the first time, returned to Columbus
The Attorney General of the United
States was with him. 1t was publicly
known that he was coming. An officer
of company of National Guards at
tempted to rally his company, but he
failed Not more than one hundred per
sons were at the Depot-but very few
more than on any other Saturday. The

Monday the fallen, disgraced. and ruined

There is wide spread feeling among
the people that some changes in our
county officers might be productive of
good results and if the Democratic
County Convention respects that public
sentiment there are many men we
think, who will vote differently at the
October election than what they have for
years past Herald.
1t has been just twenty years since
Democrats controlled the offices in Jack

people have forgotten the Iron Valley

ten thousand dollars through Democratic

The President, Gen. Garfield, Mr.. Sec
retary Barnes and Stanley Matthews will
very likely express their views about the
soldiers orphans at Newark next Monday.
If they do, Mr.. Thurman can reply and
defend very ably on the 1st of August
Cincinnati Gazette.
Hayes ought to have taken his rebel
General Key along to talk about soldiers
orphans He did all in his power to make
the children of loyal men orphans, and
he yet declares that he is only sorry he
was not able to do more than he did to
destroy the Government, and murder
loyal men And let Garfield tell what he
knows about Credit Mobilier and salary
grab. And let Matthews tell all about
that agreement" which he carried about
in his pocket by which it was stipulated
between the patriot Anderson and the
negro Congressman Nash, that Anderson
should be given good office if he would
violate the law, periure himself, and
make false returns, to get Hayes into the
Presidency.

The Cincinnati Commercial makes this

The Cincinnati Commercial makes this
suggestion:
The Republicans in Ohio who long for
a very strong Government, and find the
perfect man in General Grant, should
take care not to mix too much Grantism
in the campaign in this State. 1t might
prove poisonous.
Good enough. If we are required to
keep Hayes out we had better keep Grant
out.-[Springfeld Republic.
Last fall the Republican party had to
shoulder Hayes, Key, Schurz, &c, and
were beaten oyer $4,000; when Grant
was candidate he carried Ohio, we be-
lieve. How was this, Bro. Nichols Was
not Grants majority some $4,000? That
would show a difference between an hon
est man and sham, of about 5S, 900 votes

DEAR SIR-ThOugh a stranger l want tO in

Last Christmas ScTofula made its aDDearance
IN my syStem-larSe running ulcers appearing
on me, as follows: one on each of my arms: one
on my thigh, which extended to the seat: one
on my mead, which ate into the Slzull-bone one
on my LETT leg, which became so bad that two
physicians came TO amputate the limb, though
my whole body was full OF Scrofula they deem
cd 1t advisable to cut the sore, which was pain
IuI beyond description, and there was a quart
OF matter run from this one sore.
1ne physicians all gave me up to die, and
sara tney could do no more for me. EOth of

God pity him.

The N. Y. Times, speaking of the po-
litical issues in the coming campaign,
says:
The Administration, politically and
personally is too unimportant, too destl
tute of strength and sympathy, to be a
great factor in the canvass. Its enemies
are so much more numerous than its
friends that the latter will be content
with silence"
The Times has been truthfully termed
the leading Republican paper in the Uni
ted States. If all the alleged Republi-
can papers" would admit what is true in
regard to the popularity, or rather un-
popularity of the administration, as the
Times does, it would add greatly to the
success of the Republican party.

The King from his council chamber
Came weary, and sore of heart;
He called for Iliff the painter,
And Spake to him thus apart:
81 am sickened of faces ignoble,
HypOcriteS, towards, and knaveS;
shall shrink to their shrunken measure,
Chief slave in realm of slaves!
II.
Paint me true mans picture,
Gracious, and wise, and good,
lowered with the strength of heroes,
And the beauty of Womanhood;
Place it in my inmost chamber,
That, thither when l retire,
1t may fill my soul with its grandeur,
And warm it with sacred fire."
So the artist painted the picture,
And hung IL in the palace hall;
Never thing SO goodly
Had garniShed the stately hall.
The King, with head uncovered,
GaZed on it with rapt delight,
Till it suddenly wore strange meaning,
And baff1ed his questioning sight.
".
For the form was his supplest courtiers'
Perfect in every limb;
But the bearing was that of the henchman
Who filled the f1agons for him
The brow was priests who pondered
His parchmentS early and late;
The eye a wandering minStrelS'
Who sang at the palace gate.
The lips, half sad, and half mirthful,
With a fitting tremulous grace,
Were the very lips of a woman
He had kissed in the market place;
But the smile that there curves transfgureC
AS it rose with the simmering dew
Was the smile of the wife who loved him,
Queen Ethelyn, good and true.
vi.
Then Learn o King,' said the artist,
"ThiS truth that the picture tells,
How in every form of the human
Some hint ofthe highest dwells;
How, scanning each living temple
For the place where the veil is thin,
We may gather by beautiful glimpses
The form of the good within.

The Congressional nomination is mar
rowed down to the present incumbent,
Hon. H. S. Neal of Lawrence county, and
Mr.. Clark of Ross, one Of whom will un-
doubtedly be nominated. Which shall
it be? We say Mr.. Neal. He is the
only candidate Lawrence has ever had.
Our people, without exception, desire his
return. His record in Congress has been
entirely satisfactory, while his attention
to local matters has won for him the sup
port of many who do not usually take
much interest in political affairs. He is
by all odds the strongest candidate we
can have in this section. and as Lawrence
county must furnish the majority, it is
we'll to consider who can best bring out
that majority
When Ross composed part of our dis
trict in the decade, 1S50-60, she furnished
the candidate for eight years out of the
ten, while Lawrence county furnished
the majority by which he was elected
We ask our friends in Ross to be little
forbearing now and cordially join US in
the nomination and election of Mr.. Neal
