THAT DEMOCRATIC POLE.

The Democrats of Perrysburg raised
their pole on Saturday, amidst their usual
zeal and peculiar kind Of courage on such
occasions. There was some difficulty in
The raising, one Of the pulleys giving way
at one time, injuring two or three persons,
and severely injuring VIM. IIechler in the
small OF the back, who has since been con-
fined to his bed. The pole was 40 feet
long, and it was found that the shears was
not OF sufficient length 10 raise it, when %
feet was chopped off the big end. Some
iour hours after the appointed time the
pole was put in an erect position, the hour
being P. NJ. The pole is decorated with
n handsome American flag, 17x40 feet
Near the top is a broom, hand, and
sIckly looking cock, the pattern Of which
must have been taken from Aultman& Tay-
lor's trade mark rooster.
Bro. Calard was on deck that day and
in honor of the late figures furnished to the
Bee, turning over the workingmen OF Cali
fornia to the Democratic party and giving
that party a large majority in that State,
he was allowed to hold the ROSTERS tail
and stear him in his upward fight.
After the pole was put in an erect posi-
ton store box was secured-under diff
culties too numerous TO mention-and Mr..
Lawrence Murray was mounted upon it and
delivered fourth Of July oration, at the
close Of which he called for three cheers
for Hancock and Arthur and Garfield and
English, all of whom were equally eheered
Thomas Meehan, the Irish Barrisler, was
next mounted, on the Barbett principle,
and the burthen of his remarks were, that
Hancock did not hang Mrs. Surratt, but the
Republicans did.
Following him came Major Dodd, of the
Toledo Democrat, who labored under some
embarrassment frnm the awkward position
in which he was placed, but by ignoring
history he clearly proved that the battle
of Gettysburg was fought by Gen. Hancock {;
that he was the only man there, and con-
sequently was the only man wounded in
that sanguinary engagement.
Judge Dodge was the next speaker called
for, and allowing his angry passions to rise,
which is not exactly in accordance with
Hoyie, threw his Judicial robes INTO a cor.
ner, mounted the box and gave Judge
Black scathing rebuke for his kind words
of endorsement Of Gen. Garfield, and csm-
pared il to that of a character that might
be given by Dutch Kate" of Toledo, TO
Henry Ward Beecher. He said Jerry Black
would have went to the devil seven years
ago had he not been a Democrat; that
wss all that saved him. His snearing Use
of Teutonic Calharine's name was Il direct
drive at the Germans--and will be re-
membered by them.
The ST. Joseph Cornet Band interspersed
the speeches with music, and later in the
evening the Arions came upon the street
| aud gave us some Republican music.

MhO for Congress

ED. JOURNAL As the time for holding
the Congressional convention is drawing
near, desire to say n few words to our
Wood county delegates with reference to
Capt. j. X. Hamilton, who at this time
seems to DO the most prominent candidate
that will be presented by Lucas county at
that convention. have known the Cap

was member OF the staff of Old Chicka-

highest terms OF praise, and it is reasonable
to suppose that his nomination would ST
lence all personalities from the paper
which he edits, while his soldier record
would certainly catch some Of the "boom Z"
generated by HancOck's nomination.
He was chairman of the Lucas County
Central Committee last fall which certainly
was productive OF the largest gain to our
party Of any election since it's organization

the county, by majorities ranging from 700
to | 900 and none deny that this WAS large
iy due to the energy and enthusiasm every
where inspired by the chairman OF their
central committee. lie is conceded to be
one OF the best organizers in the party; is
in the prime Of life, is a regular college
graduate, and would everywhere bring out
the full vote throughout the district, while
his popularity in the city Of Toledo would
unite "the boys" in one grand "boom
through the whole campaign as believe
no other man can. The Germans all speak
we'll Of him and regard him as a strong
candidate, while he seems to be the second
choice Of the Walbridge and Ritchie men
in the city, and earnestly desire our dele
gates to look him up and investigate hIs
claims, hls ability IN a representative, and
his availability as successful man in the
canvass; Tor none but our strongest man
the man who can poll the most votes
should be placed on the ticket

II Imagination is second life, then our
Democratic friends bid fair to be long lived
for none Of them can be credited with
want OF Imagination. In 1861 they inn
agiDed that there was no inherent power
in the constitution to coerce a State. In
1862 they imagined that "the war was
failure; in 1868 that they had been out OF
oaice long enough; in 1872 that abolition
ism was the true doctrine in 1876 they
imagined that Tilden was elected, and that
each and every one OF them we're commits
stoned to draw salary from the public,
aud now in 80 they imagine that the peo-
pie will not recognize the real issue that
is presented to them; will vote for the lead
er Of the Democracy, and will be profound.
ly obivious to the Grand Army of bum
mers who are trailing along in unwashed
enthusiasm shouting for Hancock and Of
flee.
The snorting populace (as Demo
cratic friend Of mine says Of the people,
are pretty clear headed and sight, and
amidst the Hancock cheer, and beating Of
om-toms, they can distinctly hear the rebtl
yell. The great unwashed are happy, they
have captured the government and see IN
the nearing future, visions Of unlimited
power and pelf. Whether they can fatten
on diet OF Imagination, like Tanner on
wafer remains to be politically investi-
gated.
No party but the Democratic could have
made such a nomination Of qualification,
and then with all gravity insisted that it
was perfectly consistent, and that Section
aism has no place in this canvass, that
Hancock represents no section, that they
are the only "original Jacobs" in their
love for the Union, and that new era is
about TO dawn upon the country. Now, is
any considerable number of people going
to be caught by any such claptrap as this ?
For do they not zee that this is the same
party with nothing that has been proven
bad eliminating from 1t, the texture of the
blue is too gauzy to hide the grey. 1t is
useless for Democrats to Try and hide the
issues and the party by change OF leaders,
it is the voice Of Jacob, but the hand OF
Esau.
The history OF the Democratic party is
before the people, not the history Of their
leader. 1t isa living bloody history whose
silent readers lie on every hill aide and be-
meath the green trees OF the South, but the
grass grows green above their eloquent
graves, the trees are musical with the songs
of the birds, and the fields of waving corn
throw their kindly shadows over the moul.
dering bones of our dead comrades. Kind
nature covers with her beauteous fingers
the ruts and scars of war; time, with heal
ing hand has soothed the wounded hearts
we forgive, but we cannot forget the party
that occasioned the wrong and woe.
The history OF the Republican and Dem
ocralic parties is before you take and study
them carefully and then in November re.
cord your verdict, but remember if you re.
cord it wrong, no new trial will be given
you, no writ Of error will lie to a superior
tribunal. 1eM.

T. j. Avery was elected minstrel for the
occasion, who raised the crowd to the high

has large fund'on hand, and sings with

amid what seemed to be the entire popula-

crowd to the stand. G. W. Hill, Maj.
Swigart, Gen. Day, and others addressed
the meeting. Captain Avery sang Sher-
mans March to the Sea with wonderful
effect. The boom ran high and just one
hundred voters joined the club. They are

New Feature In Journalism.


The Cincinnati Gazette commenced on
Saturday the publication OF two cent
edition OF their daily, yielding" as 1t says,
to the demand for cheaper and smaller
newspapers" It claims there ale a large
class who do not have time nor inclina-
tion TO read the mammoth dailieH, there
fore do not care to pay for what they do
not want. To accommodate this class with
such paper rs they do want the Gazette
has put in machinery that will turn oHt
26,000 per hour Of their large edition, aud
$4,000 per hour Of their small edition, or
Daily Gazette, Jr. Their large and small
editions are printed simultaneously each
morning. They have also secured a line
of wire leading into the office and employ
their own operator in order to facilitate
the receipt Of news by telegraph.
This brief paragraph gives faint idea
of the magnitude and cost of such an en-,
terprise. It is announced that the Ca
Iette, Jr., will follow in the footsteps OF the
Gazette, ST., and will advocate vigorously
the election of Garfield & Arthur, believing
the success OF the Republican party best for
the country and all the inhabitants thereof"
The new edition will be furnished to sub
scribers al twelve cents per week, or so
cents per month, by mail.

"a happy thought for street children I"
was that put into practice by Mr.. Willard
Parsons. Being pastor of a small church
in prosperous farming district, lie per-
suaded some of his people to invite mum
Der of very poor aud sickly street children
TO share their homes for fortnight in the
Summer. Railroad fares, generously COM
muted by the company, and various other
expenses, were paid out of contributions
from eager helpers; the children we're
hunted up in their miserable homes, and
coaxed away from doubling parents; and
in good time Mr.. Parsons conveyed mot
ley crew Of pale, hungry-eyed boys and
girls TO the new friends in the country.
The bewildered little ones were dazed at
Iirst, but they SOON woke up and reveled in
the strange delights of fresh air, plenty to
eat and drink, boundless Fairgrounds and
CHEEKY human kindness. They gained
health strength, bright eyes, plump cheeks,
and untold moral benefits, proving the ex-
pertinent grand success. In a little
while, the New York Eceninq Post took up
the enterprise, under the namc of the
Fresh Air Fund Excursions" and now,
since the beginning, some thousands OF
sickly, needy, ragged and half-famished
city boys and girls have proited yearly by
this beautiful charity. A graphic account
of Its working is given, with several pict-
ures, in ST. Nicholas for August.
