PERsISrENCY.

When the public interest seems to demand
1t we never hesitate to keep pressing the same
topic until we secure for it the attention it de-
serves. On subjects of first magnitude we re-
gard iteration as duty, and, like the ancient
the public Conscience is fully awakened. It
would, indeed be absurd to raise the voice of
land on trivial questions; but we never thus
trif1e with the attention of our readers.-New
York Herald.
The Herald's policy is eminently correct.
1t is the keynote of success. II reforms are
to be inaugurated, the wrong that is to be
righted must be kept forever before the
people until victory is assured. Viewing the
the subject from this standpoint, the duty
of the Democratic party is made plain. The
Republican party has covered the land with
curses. Its financial policy has been pro-
ductive OF untold disasters. Its wrecks are
numbered by millions. 1t has pauperized
thrift and made mendicants of thousands
and tens of thousands of willing workers
Under its whitening influence values have
shrunk out of sight. and Shylocks have cap
tured estates as wreckers take possession of
dismantIed hulks at sea. Nor is this
all, nor the half, nor indeed the worst of
it. The Republican party has debauched
the judiciary of the country, and made the
position of Judge depend upon partisan
fealty. It has demanded the despotic privi-
lege to use the Federal army to interfere
with elections, and utilized every form of
villiany to maintain ascendency; and now,
when the American people are aroused to q
sense of the danger that environs their lib
critics. Hayes interposes his vetoes in the
interest of despotism. Under such circum-
stances the Democratic party should never
hesitate to keep pressing the same topic
until the people fully comprehend the pur-
poses of their Republican foes. There should
be no let up; no back down; no hesitancy
no retrograde movement If this is done,
victory Is assured.

These retiring gentlemen were all stalwart

We say this in no unkind spirit.
They loved their party in the days

with becoming fidelity adhered to it's

When the license was returned 10 New

couple, being in hurry, agreed to get on
the train, in company with Rev. J. l.. Pitper,
who was to perform the ceremony some
place along the route in the Clark county
jurisdiction. The conductor, Mr.. Noyes,
appreciated the situation, and when the
train had crossed over Silver creek bridge
into Clark county, it was stopped. All the
passengers were called into one OF the cars,
and William and Matte Mars were made
man and wife, with Conductor Noyes and
brakeman Ealey as principal attendants.
To the great annoyance of the bride. who
was very bashful, everybody shook hands
with her. The train then sped on 10 this

discretion, and its puerile efforts to damage
the great charities of the State will recoil

THE Republican party of Ohio, inspired by
events at Washington, undoubtedly intend
ed to inaugurate another regular bloody
shirt campaign. The action of the Demo
cratic convention recently at Columbus
completely turned the tables upon them by
putting at the head of the ticket two major
generals with splendid war records, who did
all the fighting necessary when the war was
on, and now, in time of peace, are endea vor-
ing to close up the wounds and heart
burnings created by the long and sanguinary
struggle.
When the war began Charley Foster

years of age. He was a country storekeeper.
made money during the war, ana blossomed
into stalwart banker. The Republican
candidate (Hickenlooper)h has no particularly
brilliant record that we know of,
except holding an Office under Andy
johnson. General Ewing. the Democratic
nominee for governor, served with distinc-
ton throughout the war, receiving at the
end of it the commission OF major general.
The candidate upon the Democratic ticket
for lieutenant governor, General Rice. vol.
unteered as private at the beginning..of the
war in 1861, left one of his legs down at
Chickamauga, and when the war closed came
out brigadIer general.
Since the nomination of the Democratic
ticket the Republicans announce that the
vital issue of the campaign is the finances,
although they have heretofore, in eulogizing
the financial schemes of Secretary Sherman,
pronounced "the finances practically set
tied, and ''out OF politics" This. however,
when they were looking for the nomination
of Governor Bishop or some other noted
civilian, whom they fondly hoped to totally
envelope and smother in the folds of the
bloody shirt" We hope that there may
be but one issue, and that is-no troops,
supervisors or marshals at the polls.

Smart Girl.

Norman Spencer stole SIT 500 from the
Pennsylvania Oil company. that employed
him as bookkeeper, and fled to the South
west The robbery was carefully planned,
and the thief's intention was to take new
name. settle down as a planter, and marry
the Titusville girl to whom he had long been
engaged She knew all about this scheme,
and was to join him as soon as practicable
A detective was set to watch her. and when
she started Westward, after receiving a
mysterious letter, he guessed she meant to
join her lover. He Swallowed her on
the journey so closely that she became
aware of his watching. At Quincy, Ill, she
hired woman OF about her own size and
shape, to put put on her travelling suit, cover
her face with a veil, and 60 to Chicago. The
detective unsuspectingly followed the wrong
woman, while the real one went on to meet
the fugitive thief. Meanwhile, Spencer had
bought plantation near Galveston, Texas,
and fallen in love with a neighbor's
daughter. Desiring to marry her. he wrote
to the Titu willie girl at q point on her
journey that she need not come to him.
The Titusville girl was as quick at revenge
as she had been at deceiving the detective.
She at once informed the police where
Spencer was. and he has been arrested.

GENERAL STEADMANs recital of facts before
the Ohio Democratic convention sticks in

when was ordered by telegraph to report In
person to him. 1 went up and called upon
him, and Mr.. James M. Ashley, who is living,
heard the conversation. Mr.. Lincoln took me
by the hand, greeting me warmly. He told me
he was glad to see me. Still holding me by the
hand, he said to Mr.. Ashley: Brother Ashley,
what would have become of us in this war if it
had not been for the fighting Democrats of the
Northwest?" MIR. Ashley, with shrug of the
shoulders, said, t'Well, Mr.. Lincoln, don't
know" when Mr.. Lincoln replied: sour re-
bellIous friends would have had their flag
floating at the capitol, SIR" He says: 1.-THE
truth is, Brother Ashley, that our party is
made up, to some extent, of the religious and
sympathetic element, and they don't make
frst-class soldiers"
In the face of such testimony the Republic
can conspirators. with the audacIty of a
Louisiana liar, refer to Democrats as ''trsi-
tors" But those who indulge in such stuff.

derstood. and for several years the people
have been demanding that the party they
represent shall take back seat.

THE New York Express places the Repub-
ican party in exactly the right position when
it declares that the Republicans In Congress
shave committed themselves to three dis
tinct, important political issues. They have
commended with might and main, in season
and out of season, with all the force and bit
terness they could command, against the re-
peal of the statutes which enable the FEEDER
al Government to use the army at the polls
and to interfere with the elections by means
of paid supervisors and deputy marshals,
and the pernicious test-oath act. There are
their three pet measures. 1t was to keep
these odious statutes in force that they
threw the appropriations out of the
last Congress and made the present
extra session necessary. 1t is to prevent
their repeal that they have fllibustered in
Congress and have invoked the exercise of
the veto power by the president. But the
Democrats have completely ut-generaled
hem. The appropriation bills have been
put in such shape that their passage can
not be prevented. The president can not
veto them without disqualification and
disgracing his party. If he signs them, the
Democrats will have accomplished their OBJ
ject. But even should he sign them, he will
not relieve his party from the odium and
disgrace of sustaining laws which are indie
fensible and abhorrent to the intelligent
public sentiment of the American people,
and Republicans will have to go before the
country branded with that disgrace"
The tables have been completely turned,
and the breakdown" yell will not be heard
as frequently hereafter as it has been dur
ing the recent past. We confess to special
anxiety to hear the stalwart conspirators
defend Hayes vetoes before the people. We
shall be pleased to hear them recount the
blessings of bayonet rule at the polls, of
''test OATH blessings and the delights of
supervisors and marshals when arresting
freemen because they do not vote the Re-
publican ticket.
