The following is the concluding po rtion OF
Secretary Sherman's great speech, delivered at
Portland, Maine, short time ago:
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
It is to support such dogmas, my
Republican friends, that we are invited
to desert the great party to which we
belong. 1t may be that the Republi-
can party has made in the last twenty
years some mistakes. It may not al
ways have come up to your aspirations.
Sometimes power may have been
abused. To err is human; but where
it has erred it has always been on the
side of liberty and justice. 1t led our
country in the great struggle for I'm
ion and Nationality, which more than
all else tended to make it great and
powerful. 1t has always taken side
with the poor and the feeble. 1t
emancipated whole race, and has in
vested them with liberty and all the
rights Of citizenship. 1t never robbed
the ballot-box. 1t has never deprived
any class of people, for any cause, of
the elective franchise. It maintains
the supremacy of the National Gov
ernment on all National affairs, while
observing and protecting the rights of
the States. It has tried to secure the
equality of all citizens before the law.
1t opposes all distinctions among men,
whether white or black, native or nat
uralized. It invites them all to par
take of equal privileges, and secures
them an equal chance in life. 1t has
secured, for the first time in our his
tory, the rights of a anaturalized citizen
to protection against claims OF mill
tary duty to his native country. 1t
prescribes no religious test. While it
respects religion for its beneficial infu-
ence upon civil society, itrecognizes the
right of each individual to worship God
according to the dictates of his own
conscience without prejudice or inter-
ference. It supports free common
schools as the basis of republican in
stitutions. 1t has done more than any
party that ever existed to provide
lands for the landless. 1t devised and
enacted the Homestead law, and has
constantly extended this policy; so
that all citizens, native and natural
lied, may enjoy, without cost, limited
portions of the public land. It pro-
tects American labor. 1t is in favor
of American industry. 1t seeks to
diversity productions. 1t has steadily
pursued, as an object Of National inn
portance, the development Of our
commerce on inland waters and on the
high sea. 1t has protected our flag on
every sea; not the stars and bars, not
the flag of State, but the stars and

Some two weeks ago the Cincinnati
daily papers had an account Of the
robbery of Edward J. Knuckles, treas
urer of Paint township, Ross county,
of about $500. His daughter, Vina,
was in the house, washing dishes,
when a man came in and committed
the robbery. Upon investigation it
turned out that Vina herself was the
robber. She is about twenty years of
age, and is weak-minded. She has
confessed.

COUNTY 0. AUGUST 1st, 1879. {
To the Editor of the Standard:
In your live paper of 31st ult | see
an allusion to the cold blooded murder
of Joseph McDougal, of Jasper, Pike
Co. O. by John Morgan's men, July
16, 1868. You copy from The Pike
ton Courier, who calls him Robert.
Joseph was my wife's Oldest brother
a farmer who taught school usually in
the winter. He held all the offices in
the Tp. and in the NJ. E. Church that
he would accept.
Joseph drilled the boys with sticks
for guns, and encouraged them to en-
list, &c. This enraged Democrat by
name of McFarlin, who kept saloon:
McFarlin said some ugly things about
Joseph, but found that he had "Step-
ped on the paw of the sleeping Lion"
for he had to take it back or take a
fogging.
McFarlin heard of Morgan's coming,
and went several miles to meet him.
Joseph was in the hills telling timber
to impede the march of the great raj
der-was taken prisoner-compelled to
ford the Scioto before the rebels to
prove its depth, &c. When at Piketon
two men were detailed to kill him.
He was seated in canoe-when he
pulled his hat over his eyes. One
rebels ball passed through the rim of
the hat into his right cheek, then
through his head. Another ball pass
ed through his body. His excellent
wife still has the shirt with holes
made by the ball, through both front
and back of the shirt. Hon. J. 7.
Moore of your place will corroborate
this statement.

Washington C.. H.

Last Friday we went to Washing
ton G. III. to attend railroad meeting.
At Bainbridge we saw M. F. Strider
and Isaiah Burnett, formerly Of Jack
son, and Winfield Scott, Of Coalton.
Mr.. Scott has not taken his family to
Bainbridge yet. He is putting up
scales, and is establishing a coal trade
at that point,
Mrs. Chapman went over to Wash
ington ON the train, and Mr.. Chap
man came up from Cincinnati and
met us at Greenfield.
Arrived at Washington, we went to
the Arlington House, registered and
ordered our dinner, then went to look
at the town. We visited both print
ing offices. On the street we met O.
7. Cunning, Esq, who practiced law
in Macarthur some twenty years ago
and who is now practicing in Wash
ington. He was glad to meet us, and
we had a pleasant talk. We inquired
for Frank Miller, formerly of this
place. Mr.. Cunning went with us to
Franks store. We found Frank busy,
with two or three assistants, and a
large stock of goods. He is looking
hearty. He said if we would come to
his store after dinner, he would show
us the most interesting portions of
the town. We had to attend the rail
road meeting in the afternoon, and
did not get time to go.
There had been a homicide in Wash
ington a few days before we were
there, and the murderer was having
his preliminary examination at the
Court House. We inquired for the
Court House, and were told that it
was on certain corner. We went
there, and not seeing any building
near that looked like a Court House,
we inquired of some men, and they
laughed and said we were right at the
Court House, and asked us if we had
never heard Of Washington Court
House-the name Of their town. We
do not want to make remarks about
our neighbors, only to say this: there
not a saloon or even doggery kept
in jackson in so shabby room as
the Court Room in the rich county of
Fayette.
We went into the Court Room.
There was a crowd. The murderer
was bound over in the sum of $3.50
The case was this: Four men were
drinking and playing cards in a dog
gerry. Two Of them, strangers to
each other, had few words of dispute
about the game. They both drew
knives and commenced cutting. One
stabbed the other to the heart, causing
death in ten minutes.
There appears to be a much larger
amount of business done in Washing.
ton than there is in Jackson, but the
town is not as handsome as Jackson
We saw no street that could compare
with our Broadway, Pearl, Church
Columbia or South streets. The
streets in Washington are mostly
paved with large flag stones. These
stones are curiously variegated, will
with rings about the size and shape
of the palm of a mans hand
There was large picnic party
from Xenia, who were at the railroad
in the afternoon, waiting for th'
train. Travel on both the Marrow
Gauge roads appeared to be brisk.

Ten Cents is Enough.

The Democratic papers say that
Charles Foster says, that one dollar
per day is enough for laboring men.
Of course this is true, for Democratic
papers never lie.
Now if one dollar per day is enough
for the laborer, ten cents is enough
for campaign paper, and we will send
ten copies Of the Standard to one adj
dress, for
ONE DOLLAR,
or ten cents per copy, until after the
election. We will take pay in green
backs, national bank paper, trade dol
lars, new silver dollars, Spanish
milled dollars, silver change, furnace
credit, scrip, punch, or credit in any
store in Jackson, or surrounding
towns. Now come on with your
names. Candidates should think of
this offer.
