School Commissioner Burns.

The Democratic press are trying
to break the force of the fact that
their candidate for State School
Commissioner, Mr.. Burns, was in
the rebel army, by saying that he
was drafted, and did not go of his
own accord. To this a soldier OF
Cambridge, Ohio, replies as follows,
which leaves Mr.. Burns in a tight
place
We are prepared to verify by citi-
zens of Guernsey county,
Frst-That J. j. Burns was a
rebel in sentiment when the war
commenced.
Second-That he did go to Mis-
sissippi and volunteer as an officer
of battery in the rebel army.
Third-That after the fall of
Vicksburg he deserted from the reb-
81 army to the Union lines, when he
took the oath of allegiance and was
paroled.
Here is the kind of a man the
Democrats of Ohio have placed at
the head of the Ohio school system,
as an example for our children!

a loan of szaooqooo to pay current

In 1880, after twenty wears Of Re

More Of Bill English's PrO-SIayery
Record.

In a speech made in 1858, he
uttered the following abject, dough
faced sentiments in regard to slavery,
which shows what a plant tool Of
the rebel brigadiers he would be If
elected Yice-President. He said:
"The lowest and most God-for
saken, nisger-stealing abolitionists
are to be found in Indiana, doing
battle against the National Democ-
racy, side by side with the leaders OF
the Black Republican party, and, ]
am sorry to add, of the Know Moth
ing party also. If a slave escapes
into Indiana, we give him up prompt
Ey to his master. There is a clause
in the Missouri compromise restrict
ing slavery forever. 1t was generally
conceded that the term forever was
not taken in its literal sense-that
it only meant during the existence
of the Territorial Government,
This shows that English represents
admirably the principles Of his party,
which Wade Hampton says are
those which the South fought for
four years.

Col. Nm E. Gilmore was the last
victim of the interviewer, and said
he had no idea the nomination
would be offered him, but

ter service in that position than any

would now, as 1 always have done,

As TO the Republican success in
the district, the reporter asked

mo. There is great deal Of
disgust among Democrats in Ross
over Mayo's defeat. The. same feel
ing may exist to a considerable ex-
. tent in Brownamong TarbelPsfriends,
and in Pike among the personal
friends of Washburn. But the Dem
ocratic majority is SO large in this
district that Leedom, unknown as he
is, will be elected. And this the
more certainly as the Presidential
contest will bring the vote out fully"
Col. Gilmore would make a strong
race, and the Republicans of the dis
trict would support him very heart
lily.
It seems the reporter did not find
our old friend Gen. Hurst, who
would also make a splendid candi-
date, if he could be induced to ac-
cept, but that is hardly probable.

WOULD NOT DECLINE, IF
NOMINATED.
JUDGE STONE AND SENATOR
ENTREKIN
POSITIVELY DECLINE THE
HONOR.

The Chillicothe Gazette of last
week publishes an interview of its
reporter with several prominent Re
publican politicians of that city, in
regard to the Congressional nomina-
ton in this district. Judge Stone,
the popular Probate Judge of Ross
county, was first subjected to the re-
POrtorial pump, and positively de
clined to be considered a candidate
under any circumstances, on account
of his health. He said
"Were it not for that, I would not
object to join issues with Mr.. Lee
dom. I believe that by good work
the majority can be very materially
reduced, if he cannot be beaten"
Col John c. Entrekin, our popu-
lar young State Senator, who got
such big majority last fall, was also
pumped, and said he held two offices
already (he is a member of the Chill
licothe City CounciD, and his ambi-
ton was satisfied. Besides he was too
young, and could afford to wait
about 20 years. The Colonel said :
81 am of the opinion that the nom
ination ought TO 90 to Highland
county. Hart or Pugsley ought to
have it. I don't think any one. can
defeat Leedom, although the majori-
ty may be materially reduced, and
some good accomplished in that
way"
"But with view to ulteriOr re-
suits. There will be a redistricting
of the State next winter, you remem-
ber."
Well, even then, a Highland coun-
ty man should have the nomination
We will go into a new district, and
one that will be strongly Republican.
And the prestige of a good race in
this fight might be of future benefit
to Hart or Pugsley, while itwOuld be
of none at all to a Ross county man" !"
"You are certain about going into
a Republican district p
REASONABLY so. We hope to get
three Republican districts in South
ern Ohio. 1 know of ten Southern
Ohio Senators who will vote to put
Ross in a Republican District, and
Of course those Of Northern Ohio
can have no objections"
This, from member of the Legis-
lature, is significant and important,
as foreshadowing a Republican dis
trict under the new apporuonment.
Whoever carries the Republican
standard in the contest this year, if
he makes a good fight, will have the
inside track for the nomination when
the district is changed. Gentlemen
having aspirations tor a seat IN Con
gress should think of this.
The Colonel said some other
things that will bear reprinting for
the benefit of our readers. For in
stance, this
"There are three counties in the
District that could be carried, Ross,
Highland and Adams. But what
sort of a bulwark would that be to
set up against the certain surge OF
1900 majority in Pike and Brown?
Why, in Brown county they Will vote

Well, of course they will elect him.
Of what use is argument or persua-
sion to such voters? They will not
inquire into Leedoms character or
capability, but simply as to his party

What a Distinguished Democrat Says.

Judge Orton, of Wisconsin, who
has a national reputation as a Demo
crat, and who has never been any
thing else, published a letter some
days since saying that he could no
longer remain identified with that
party, adding that it has become es-
sentially the party of the South, and
that its record in Congress during
the past four years has justly excit-
ed the suspicion Of Northern men,
and that neither the National credit
nor the National Treasury, nor the
right to q free and fair ballot will be
safe in its hands. In which views
Judge Orton is a representative of
multitudes otintelligent and patriot
ic Democrats the country over.

WADE HAMPTON
LETTING THE CAT OUT OF
THE BAG.

In a speech recently made in Rich
mond, Virginia, Gen. Wade Hamp
ton, of S. CaroliDa, forgot his usua-
caution, and thus told his fellow
rebels the true msauing of Gen
Hancock's nomination. He said:
Il tell you, my countrymen, the
fate Of the South will be harder
than ever if the Republican party
is successful in this campaign
Governor Vance viii confirm my
words that we can carry the South.
if you will only carry Virginia. He
has come like me to appeal to you
not to forsaka rs in the hour Of need.
CONSIDER WHAT LEE AND
JACKSON WOULD DO WE'RE
THEY ALIVE. THESE ARE
THE SAME PRINCIPLES FOR
WHICH THEY FOUGHT -FOUR
YEARS, Remember the men who
poured forth their life blood on Vir-
ginia's soil aud do not abandon them
now, Remember that upon your
vote depends the success of the
Democrat ticket"
We ask Union soldiers and Union
voters to, consider what Wade
Hampton says-that the Democratic
party represents the principles for
which Lee and Jackson fought four
years. That is the meaning of
Democratic principles as explained
by one who represents the South,
without which the Democratic party
would be insignificant in numbers
and power.
It was Wade Hampton, remember
who, after Hancock was noninated,
mounted the platform at Cincinnati
and pledged him the solid l38 cleo
toral votes of the South.

Our Candidate,s Aneestors.

The West Union Defender says:
John P. Leedom, the Democratic
nominee for Congress in this Dis
triet, was born in Adams county,
Ohio, December 20, 1S47. His great
grand parents on both sides we're
among the earliest settlers of the
county, then ovsrEun by hostile In
dians Wm Leedom, his great
grandfather, was a member Of Gen
eral Msssie's little colony, which
made the first settlement in the
county, at Manchester, in the year
1871, and assisted the General In
nearly all of his surveying expedi-
tiOns throughout the country. He
was with Gen. Massie and McArthur
on their Starvation tour Of 1895,
when the whole party almost met
death by starvation, while in camp
near Frankfort, Ross county, being
surrounded by snow three feet deep
and without provisions to protect
them from the ra7ages Of hunger.
That's all right, Bro. EyIer, and it
shows that Mr. LeedoH's ancestors
we're clever enough people, no doubt,
but let US hear what Mr.. Leedom
himself has ever done to entitle him
to represent the people Of this dis
trict in Congress. Give us your
candidates record.

Doesn't Renuire mnch Talent .


The Adams County New Era has
not a very high opinion of John P
Leedom, whom the Democrats Of
this district have chosen to Lead 'em
in the Congressional fight. The
Era says
If a Democrat is. to represent us
in Congress, the Era has home pride
enough to desire that he be an
Adams county man. 1t may regret
that more capable man has not
been chosen to wear the mantle Of
John Z. Wilson, or the Iamented

be remembered that it does not re
quire as much talent to become a
prominent Democratic statesman as
it used to. The regret is respect
