eral propositions or bets were offered. and
made the subject of the editorial, where
by "wealthy" citizen OF Springfield
name not given made the following
propositions or bets, and from the bold
and defiant manner in which they were
set forth in the article without given fig
ures seemed to indicate that the person
offering the bets was offering terrible
odds. The editorial in question said that
this wealthy citizen of Springfield would
make the following bets:
$500, that Bookwalter would not carry
his own ward; $500, that he would not
carry the city Of Springfield; $500, that
he would not carry his own township;
and $500 that he would not carry his own
county.

DEMOCRAT.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1881-07-28

The political situation in Ohio, al
though the campaign has not yet be-
gun, is already attracting considerable
attention abroad and the Democratic
ticket IS very generally conceded TO be
formidable one. Among other jour.
mails that have discussed the ticket and
platform from an unprejudiced and
impartial standpoint is the lndianapo-
lis News, an ably edited independent
newspaper with strong Republican
prochvities. 1t declares that the plat
form has laid the foundation for long
series Of Democratic victories and that
the Ohio Democracy by placing them
selves upon it have at the same time
placed themselves in the front rank Of
political reformers. "They have cast
one plank of their platform" it says,
''upon the crest of the civil service
wave and declare they are in favor of
that system of service whereby Offices
shall be held to be public trusts, and
be administered for the public good
not spoils to be enjoyed as the reward
of partisan zeal or service. This is as
vague as the comet, it must be admit.
ted, but it is a good deal better than
nothing And when a man declares
and reiterates that he wants to do what
is right, it adds that it is not difficult
matter to pin him down to doing it..
Continuing its discussion Of the Civil
Service Reform plank in the platform,
the Neegs says: "This declaration of
the Ohio Democrats has this. signif-
canoe, that it is the first official utter
ance siuce the attack upon the Presi-
dents life, which was the outgrowth
of the spoils system, and also that it
comes from State where presuma-
Bile Democratic national candidate for
1884, Hon. George H. Pendleton, has
already started in the same direction,
and with his bill and speeches in the
Senate upon the subject Of Civil Serv-
ice Reform is getting himself into
shape as reform candidate. These
all be signs of the times which it were
wise to heed. The politicians may kick
ever SO lively, reform in the Civi
Service is sure to come"
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1881-07-28

The Springfield Republic, Republi
can paper, says: The Democrats o.
Ohio yesterday nominated John W
Bookwalter for Governor and adopted
platform containing some excellent
planks lncluding one on Civil Service
Reform. Mr.. Bookwalter is a leading
manufacturer of Springfield, and has {
bari. He used to be Republican, bu
supported Greeley, and has since beer
a Democrat. The shilly-shallying O.
the Republicans on the temperance
question, which has alienated the pro
hibition vote and excited some oppo
sition among the Church people, gives
the Democrats some hope of carrying
the State.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1881-07-28

The Springfield Sunday Ne'Os, Re
publican sheet, published at the. home
of Bookwalter, says: John W. Book.
walter is wealthy manufacturer and
the second largest farmer in the United
States. He began life poor country
boy. All he has in this world, his
wealth, travel, vast information anc
splendid intelligence, he has attained
by his own energy alone. No banks
no railroads, no syndlcates, no mono

proud OF their candidate.
