State Senator.

The Democrats met in Portsmouth
on Wednesday of last week, and NOM
mated man named Bayless, of Ad-
ans county, for State Senator. The
Adams county Democrats did not
want him, and voted for J. w. Mason.
Bayless, according to the Portsmouth
Times, was a soldier on the Union
side during the Democratic rebellion,
and so will lose the support of the old
Copperheads Of Jackson county, who
solemnly resolved, on the Fourth of
July, 1864, that they would not sup
port any man for Office who was in
favor of putting down the Democratic
rebellion. The Times says that Bay
less was shot through both legs. The
Democrat who shot him should have
aimed little higher, as all the "Old
John Brown thieves and murderers
who invaded the Sovereign States Of
the South" should have met the fate
which was meted out by the Dem
ocrats to the tyrant Lincoln.
The old Copperheads Of the conven-

ton presented two candidates Of their
own sort-Watts of Jackson, and
Jones of Pike, but they We're glorious
ly slaughtered. The Times says Of
Watts:
Mr.. Watts, of Jackson, made ringing speech
for the cause when he withdrew his name. He
was rocked in sugar trough for a cradle, and
hence his Democracy dates from his infancy
until the present.
It would not do. The bloody breech-
es legs of Bayless must be used to try
to catch few green soldiers. The
following is the vote:
First Ballot-F. D. Bayless IL, ]. w. Mason 81
J. A. Jones 20, J. NJ Watts 10.
Second Ballot-Bayless a. Mason 40, Jones II
Watts 10.
Third Ballot-Bayl less %, Mason 81, Jones %
Watts 7.
Fourth Ballot-Bayless 81, Mason "a, Jones Is
Watts 13.
Fifth Ballot-Bayless %, Mason So, Jones 10
Watts 10.
sixth BaIlot-BayIess 81, Mason 80, Jones 20
Watts withdrawn.
Seventh Ballot-Bayless 81, Mason 80, Jone
Eighth Ballot-Bayless 55, Mason 43, Jone
withdrawn.
It will be seen that it simmeret
down to two Adams county men, ant
while the Adams delegation were vot
ing for Mason, the other COUNTIES
thrust Bayless down their throats.

"CalicO Charlie"

When we arrived at the junction
below Waverly last Friday evening,
we saw a great crowd up at the Wav-
erly station, and the train ON the Val
ley road had stopped there. We knew
that Foster was on that train. Pretty
soon the train came down to the
junction, and Mr.. Paine got off and
said Foster was in the forward car
There, looking out of the window, was
the veritable calico iend himself. He
is great, powerful man, stouter than
Bundy, Bob Ingersoll or Sam. Cary.
Mr.. Paine introduced us and Winfield
Scott to the fend, and he reached out
his great hand and grasped ours, and
we thought we could hear the bones
crushing in our poor little hand. It
reminded us Of the grip of Alex. Nc
Colin, when he came home from the
army. And that is the hand made
Infamous by measuring calico!

500 Reward!

We publish this week history Of
the Democratic meeting in August,
1864, when the celebrated rebel flag
was Haunted in the faces of the SOL
diers' wives, widows, and orphan chill
dren. Read it, young men, and think
Of it when you cast your first vote in
October next.
The Democrats are going to hold a
county convention in this place in a
short time. Now if that convention
will form a procession at the Court
House, put the nominees of the con-
vention in front, and the entire con-
vention will follow them, and the cam
didates will carry that same flag, and
march down Broadway to South street,
up South to Portsmouth, up Ports
mouth to Main, and down Main to the
Court House, we will pay the Band to
go before them, and pay the Demo-
cratic Central Committee one hundred
dollars. Will they do it? We dare
them to do it.

RAILROAD RESCUERS.
Stockholders Resolve 10 Scale the Debt
of the Road.

Pursuent to call number of stockholders of
the 5. j. d p. r. r. met at Washington Court
House, Friday, Aug. list, TO consider methods
of rescuing the road from the creditors Presi-
dent Frey called the meeting to order and sta
ted its object. On motion OF Mr.. Pursell, Mr..
Frey was elected Chairman and Geo. A. Barnes
Secretary. On motion the following committee
of five was appointed to present business to
the meeting: James Emmitt A. w. Seymour,
ID. Mackley, James Pursell and Edward Merritt.
After a noon recess, the above committee
ported as follows: "Your committee respect
fully submit the following report: That COM
mfttee OF three be appointed for the purpose of
scaling the debts due from the S. j. d p. Rail-
road, said committee to have power to appoint
as many assistants or subcommittee in each
county as they may deem necessary. Said
committee TO be required to take action imme-
diately, and report by the Goth inst, at a meet
ing to be held at somo point hereafter to be
named" The report was adopted and the fol-
lowing committee was appointed: Jas. EN-
mitt, A. w Seymour and w. S. Jones. On mo-
ton the Secretary was requested to furnish the
Chairman of the committee list of creditors
and bondholders. The Chairman of the COM
mittee was authorized to call the meeting as
soon as he is ready TO report, with out reference
to time or place. Meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the committee: The stocAnolIers
present showed considerable earn nestness in the
matter of trying to save the road.

The Portsmouth Times challenges
us to come and examine its files dur
ing the Democratic rebellion. Not
necessary. We remember very we'll
that all through the war the Times
opposed the war on the part of the
National Government, and sided with
the rebels. Everybody who read the
Times from 1861 to 1868 knows that
this is true.
The buster of the Times reminds
us Of the buster Of that great Demo-
cratic soldier-statesman, John O'Con-
nor When he was accused of being
a bounty-iumper and deserter, he
jumped up in his place in the Legisla-
ture and demanded an investigation.
It was proven that all this was true,
and that he was also a robber, who
had been in the penitentiary. The
Democrats kept him with them to the
close of the session, deeming him fit
companion. But he is now in prison
for forgery, or perjury, or something
The Times should not protest too We.
hemently. Remember O'Connor.

James Emmitt.

As we went to Washington G. II.
last week, Mr.. Emmitt got on the
train at Waverly, and came back III
the evening.
Mr.. Emmitt is in many respects a
remarkable man. He is almost child
like in his frankness and manners.
We could not help thinking of the
contrast between him and the late
Gov. Allen. Mr.. Emmitt cannot help
making warm friends, by his frank
ness and pleasant way of talking.
True, he is utterly ignorant OF SIN
gle rule of English Grammar, and his
pronunciation of many of the most
common words is almost ridiculous.
For instance, he pronounces the word
because, 'becase."
We asked Mr.. Emmitt it he knew
how much land he owned, "Oh yes,
said he, Il can soon count it up. There
are 1000 acres near Waverly, and
a section-64O acres in Pickaway
county, and 5000 acres in Kansas,
worth S. per acre, and 700 acres in
Iowa, and a large tract in Indiana.
He said he farmed pretty largely this
year. He harvested 10000 bushels OF
wheat on his Pike county, and Picka-
way county lands, and he had large
amount Of land in corn, and had cut
large amount of grass and clover.
AS the train was coming down the
grade beyond Waverly, the old man
pointed out and said: "There is the
old road leading from Kentucky tc
Ross, Pickaway and Franklin coun-
ties. have seen hundreds and hum
dreds Of horses, mules and cattle, be-
ing driven from Kentucky.to the rich
farming regions of ohia,salepg this
old road.
The farms were in a poor condition
until we got near Waverly. '.Aybk,
said Mr.. Emmitt, show | keep my
lands. Look at them hay stacks.
His meadows and his stacks were neat
and trim. He said he did not rent much
land, but hired the labor to carry on
the farms. He pointed up a hollow
and said there was the place where he
settled in the year 1916, and he had
resided in Pike county ever since.

The resolutions of the Democracy of Jackson
county, adopted July 4, 1864, which we repro
duced last week, created quite a sensation
During the war we told our copperhead neigh
bors, that they were making for themselves a
record which would haunt them in coming
years, but they would not heed our warning.
Here is something more from the dead past
The following is taken from the Jackson Ex-
press of August 25, 1851:
THE PEACE MEETING LAST SATURDAY.
Pursuant to brief notice given in
the Express and by handbills, the
friends Of peace in Jackson county,
without respect to party, met at
French's Grove, in Jackson, on Satur-
day last, for the purpose of consulting
and celebrating upon the condition OF
the country. It is said that there
were about one thousand present. We
think it was the largest county meet
ing that ever assembled in Jackson
upon such brief notice-only ten days.
The people came out Of their own ac-
cord to attend the peace Meeting y
these two words being the heading of
the notice issued 1t may be proper
to say here that handbills, headed
Peace or War;" were issued from the
headquarters of the War party, calling
upon the people to assemble on FRI
day, the day before the peace Meet
ing" but as the people failed to come
forth, no such meeting was held
None of the usual appliances were re-
sorted to for the purpose of getting

Fifteen years ago to-day, Gen. Sher-
man was electioneering the Democrats
in Atlanta, Georgia, with shot and
shell from 'twenty-pounder" PARROTS.
Had we room, we would like to give
an outline Of the history of the Dem
ocratic party from that time down to
the present "a record of infamy which
ought to bring blush Of shame to
the cheek Of every American-shame
that in great country like this such
a party can live and thrive Among
the deeds of the Democracy during
this period was the murder of Lincoln,
the attempt to murder Seward, oppo-
sition to the Amendments to the Con-
stitution, making citizens of the col
ored men, attempts to open the way
for the payment, by the National
Government, of the Southern war
debt, an attempt by Gen. A. V. Rice,
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, to open the way for the
National Government to pension the
rebel soldiers, the vote of Gen. Ewing
for the removal of crippled Union
veteran from the Capital Police at
Washington and the appointment of
rebel Democrat in his place, the re-
tanning Of a deserter and perjurer in
the Ohio Legislature for the sake of
his vote, after his true character was
known, this man is now in jail, serv-
ing out sentence for perjury, the
attempt by Democratic Performers"
to debauch the little girls at the Sol
diers' and Sailors Orphans Home, at
Xenia, the vote by the Ohio Legisla-
ture in favor of granting pension to
Jeff. Davis-and we might go on, co..
umn after column, giving the record
of this party, all Of which would be
of piece with what we have
given, and all of which would be in
disputable. It is a nice party to ask
any man to vote with it.
