The COnvenrion.-T ticket.

The COnvenriOn.-fhe Ticket.
The Democratic Convention held in |
this place on Saturday last was one of
the largest nominating conventions
held by the party for many years. Ey-
cry township was represented, and the
delegates were among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens of the
country. The proceedings were har-
monious throught, and every one man
ifested determination to do his full
duty in this great contest. The ticket
put in nomination is in every respect
an excellent one, worthy of the sup
port of every citizen.
George w. Gentholts, of Ravenna,
nominee for Sheriff, is young man of
industrious habits, painter by trade,
relying on his labor alone for his sup
port. He is an intelligent and affable
gentleman who would discharge faith
fully and acceptably the duties of the
office of Sheriff of the County.
Capt. VIM. ii. Bettis, Randolph, who
was nominated for Probate Judge, is
too well known throughout the county
to require any Introduction at our
hands. A year ago he was our candi-
date for Representative and made a
creditable canvass. lie is eminently
fitted for the Office for which he has
been put in nomination.
Mr.. John Il. Harrison, of Windham
nominated for Clerk, is merchant a
business man of great moral worth,
and of energy, education and ability
to fit him for the position.
Mr.. Reuben Brobst, of Brimtield, the
nominee for Commissioner, is one of
the most prominent business men in
the county, he is Il gentleman of intel
ligence and unexceptionable character
aud the interests of the county would
suffer nothing if entrusted to his care.
DIR. Charles w. Trask, of Mantua,
the candidate for Coroner, is amply
qualified for the position for which he
is selected. He is a young man of fine
education and habits, an affable gen.
tleman, who would adorn any position
to which his fellow citizens might
call him.
Willard L. Moody, who was selected
for the office of Infirmary Director, is
a well known citizen of Kent, who
enjoys to the fullest degree the es-
TEEN of his neighbors, who repose in
his intelligence, integrity and ability
the fullest confidence.
Edmund B. Goldman, who received
the nomination for County Surveyor.
is native Of Ravenna, practical civil
engineer, of unquestioned ability, and
a young man fully competent to dis
charge acceptably the duties OF the
Office of Surveyor.
The ticket throughout is one of the
best ever nominated in the county-it
is unexceptlonable, and we ask our
Democratic friends throughout the
county to work earnestly for its success

THE Philadelphia Record says: "The
trade dollars continue to circulate in
moderate quantities IN New York City
at par. The Trademarks, Nassau,
Park, Broadway and Central Banks
receive them from their customers.
Dry goods houses, railroad and tele-
graph companies and small dealers re-
ceiye and pay out the coin at it's face
value. The trade dollar has seven
and half grains more honesty in it
than the legal-tender silver dollar. 1t
is repulsive to reason to take the one
and discard the other"
Secretary Sherman is at the bottom
of all the troubled in this matter. Hon.
estywould demand that they be receiv-
ed at par as they have been taken by
the people, for the Government can
recoin them into legal-tender dollars
and save 7ls grains of silver.

The prophets of the Republican par
ty are advising their followers not to
bet their money on McKinley's elec.
ton. 1t is sound advice.
The laymen of the Radical party
were in attendance at the annual pow

from the g Ring" trough.
II is reported that Hayes has do
mated over $500 of the salary belong

publican campaign fund. How gener-

The cheers called for by Judge Co.
nant at McKinley's surprise on the oc-
casion of his serenadc, were given
with will for General Wiley, the
next Congressman from this District,
at the Democratic Convention on Sat-
urday.
MONEY is the result Of law. Its value
depends upon the stamp of the Gov
ernment. This fact is demonstrated
in the matter of the trade aud legal
tender dollars. While the former has
IL grains more silver it IS, according g
to John Sherman and his admirers, ten
cents less valuable. 1t is the law that
does it.
SHERMAN, Garfield and their follow
ers are elated sover the fact that, by
means of contracting the currency
they have been able to increase the
purchasing power of the capitalists

by doing so they have decreased the
opportunity and ability of labor to
make dollar more than four.fold.
THE " Ring" leaders of the Republi-
can party are unable to appreciate the
hard times when they have $4,000 to
expend in their efforts to elect Majah
Mckinley to Congress to vote for the
oppressive policy of John Sherman by
which the people are to be transferred
to the tender mercies of the privileged
capitalists.
A COMMITTEE appointed to examine
into the affairs of the county officers
of Woodford county, H., have made
discovery in the accounts of the
County Treasurer, A. Whitaker, who
was elected two years ago, showing
that he is a defaulter oyer $4,000, of
the amount $1,000 is due the State.
Whitaker was in his third term, serv-
ing two terms as the successful candi-
date of the Changers. 1t seems that
, it makes no difference to what party

THE Republicans of the 20th Dis
trict held their Convention in Cleve
land on Saturday and renominatcd
Hon. Amos Townsend for Congress,
They administered a fitting rebuke to
John Sherman and his band of swind-
lers who are playing their game upon
the people by their efforts to depre-
ciate the trade dollar. The Conven,
ton adopted the following upon that
subject:
WHEREAS said trade dollar contains
seven and one half grains more silver
than our legal tender silver dollar
therefore
ResOtCed, That our representative
in Congress be requested to use all
proper in fluence to secure such Con-
gressional action as may be necessary
TO make the trade dollar either legal
tender or eXchangeable at par for the
legal tender silver dollar.
1t is time for the people everywhere
10 speak out in condemnation of the
bold robbery.
Greenback party were voting the
Republican ticket and working for
the triumph of the ruinous, oppress.
i've policy of that party until with
in a very short time, while the
Democrats we've opposing the great
plunder perpetrated by the con-
version of the 20 currency bonds into
coin paying bonds; opposing contrac-
ton of the graenback currency, and
all the schemes of the Republican
party for robbing the people and turn
ing them over to the kind keeping Of
the money power. 1t is amusing to
hear these fellows denouncing the
Democracy as unworthy Of confidence
and withholding their votes from the
only party that possesses any power
TO stay the hand of the opprcssor. 1t
they are truly penitent for their past
wrong acts let them join the DcmOc-
racy and thus help right the wrong
they have so many years helped to
iastcn upon the country.

A Faithful Sentinel.

Our pickets were ont as usual last,
Sunday, guarding the roads. julius
Caesar Scott, at seventeen years old, col
ored youth, had guardianship over the
road leading to the rural village OF
Holmesville. About noon Major Twist
drove up, was halted and told to show
him pass, when he stated that he was
from Holmesville and needed no certi-
ficate. Caesar with the determination
of his illustrious name sake, replied:
"Mr. Twist, dat's not 'cordin' to orders,
an you karn't com in till der cap'n
comes" The sun was very warm, and
the Major asked permission to drive
across the bridge into the shade. ''No,
sar, dis bridge am de line!' In the
meantime Hon. s. Packwood drove up
and learning the situation, offered to
endorse the Majors story. Cesar
studied Il moment, then rolled his eyes
and said: "Mr. Packwoo1 you'se a

The Public Debt.

President Hayes, in one of Secretary
Sherman's speeches delivered in the
West recently, said that the public debt
at the close OF the war amounted in
round numbers to So, 700, 100000. OF
this sum 500, 900, 900 have been paid,
leaving $4,000, 100000 still due. The
debt has been largely increased by the
change OF contract between the bond
holders and the Government Cat the ex-
pense of the tax>payers,) which as ori>
ginally made required the bulk of the
debt to be paid in greenbacks and not
coin. It is estimated that seven bill
lions have been collected in the past
thirteen years in the shape of direct
taxes and duties on imports, but the
large portion of it, under Republican
administration, has either been divided
among thieves, or expended in high
salaries and riotous living. The Demo
Gratis, since they have obtained control
OF the Lower House of Congress, have
somewhat checked extravaganza, and
saved, in al, about 100000 to the
taxpayers. From this result, an idea
may be formed of what they will &C"
complish when every department of the
Government is under their control.

Pin This in Your Hat.

The following rales from the papers
of DR.. West, according to his mem
oraDdum, are thrown together as gen.
eral waymarks in the journey of life:
Never ridicule sacred things or what
others may esteem as such, however
absurd they may appear to you.
Never show levlty when people are
engaged in worship.
Never resent a supposed injury till
you know the views and motives of the
author of it. Aud on no occasion re-
late it.
Always take the part of an absent
person, who is sensured in company, so
far as truth and propriety will allow.
Never think worse of another on ac-
count OF his differing from you in poll
tics and religious subjects.
Not to dispute with a man who is
more than seventy years of age, nor
with a woman, nor with any sort of
enthusiast.
Not to effect to be witty, or Jest so
as to hurt the feelings of another.
To say as little as possible of myself
and those who are near me.
To aim at cheerfulness without levity.
Never to court the favor of the rich
by fattering their vanities or their
riches.
To speak with calmness and delibera~
tion on all occasions, especially of cir>
cumstances which tend to irritate.
Frequently to review my conduct and
note my feelings.

Sensitive Children.

Most children are sensitive, and it is
wrong to wontonly wound their feelings
by censuring them COO harshly for their
faults. Time cures great many things;
children outgrowing infrmties and
faults, and if right principles Of action
are instilled gently, constantly, wisely.
the result will ultimately appear. 1t is
mere cruelty to make the weak points
of child source of teasing and ridi>
cule, as is often done in school and fam
lilies. A mental infirmity should he
treated as tenderly as bodily deformi-
ty. A quick temper. an irritable or
timorous or teasing disposition, requires
far more tact and judicious manages
ment than any mere physical infirmity.
When grown to maturity, our sensitive
childred become the poets. musicians,
artist, writer's, leaders of their times.
Help them, too, with their tasks, which
to many of them seem hopeless. Def
initions are hard to remember; the
geography lesson is difficult to compre-
hend and won't stay fixed in thei
minds; history is dull and dead; arith-t
metic hopeless tangle of figures, and
grammar more puzzling than any pos
sible conundrum. The little folks need
help; they need cheer and encourages
ment, and who should be so ready, SO
willing, so able to give it as parentS
