The Republicans of the Senate
lacked n vote to constitute the ne
cessary three-fifths majority to pass
the resolution submitting the ques-
ton of amending the constitution,
so as to give the Legislature full
control of the liquor traffic, and not
one Democrat could be found with
sand enough in his craw to vote with
the Repubiicans.-Portsmouth Iri
bune.
The foregoing statement is incor-
rect, to speak mildly. The Repub-
lican leaders, to extricate their par
ty from a dilemma N the temperance
question, prepared a make-shift a.
mendment, embracing several propo
s~itions, more than necessary, and la
bored to force its adoption by the
General Assembly, to relieve the Re
publicans Of responsibility, by refer
ring the matter TO the people. This
subterfuge the Democratic Senators
would not accept, but offered to the
Republicans a proposition, striking
from the Constitution the clause pro,
hibiting license, and the substitution
of the following:
"The Legislature shall pass laws
regulating or restricting the sale of
Intoxicating, vinous and malt liquors.
and to compensate for injuries re-
sulting therefrom."
With the adoption of this amend.
ment by the General Assembly and
ratification by the people, the Legis
lature would have been vested with
full power to control the liquor traffic
which the Republican State platform
of this year processes to favor, but
upon this amendment every Repub
lican Senator present voted NO.
prevented its adoption, and exposed
the i~nsincerity of Republican pro
fessions.

If the Democracy hadn't nomina-
ted Mr.. Bookwalter for Governor.
how the Republicans would have
yelled about Democratic Bourbonism
and rejection of everything but the
old mossbacks and fossils of the
party! And if they had nominated
some Old timer, instead Of Mr.. Book
walter, an accession from the Re-
publican party in 1872, the same
Republican organs would have play
ed on their "harp of a thousand
strings continually that no Repub-
lican should everjoin the Democracy;
for if he did he would never be heard
Of again!! And SO forth for guam
tity. But all these Republican cam
paign cries are knocked in the head.
The young Democracy are placed in
the front, with progressive candi-
dates and advanced platform-and
now all that remains for the Repub-
lican organs to do is to abuse these
young men because they are not
Bourbons, Mossbacks, Fossils, and
the rest of this sort of vocabulary!!!
So be it.

Virginia, which paid nc atten-
ton to cotton culture until recently,
is now turning to'it on a considerable
scale, and with pronounced success.
Cotton plantations now exist in all
of the southern counties of the State.
and thousands of bales were pro-
duced last year. 1t has been found
that the cultivation of tobacco has
been growing Improbable, besides
exhausting the soil, and this is likely
to make cotton growing general
Throughout the State.

The decay and disintegration ola
political party are generally heralded
by a quarrel among its leaders. Not
withstanding the C of the Re
publican party last fall we think it
is quite evident that its organization
is fatally affected. The breach be-
tween Conkling and the President is
not merely a personal quarrel, it is
a division of party strength. In
ability, courage and personal follow
ing the New Yorker is the strongest
man in the Republican party, and
he is now irreparably separated from
the administration, and with him a
considerable portion of the rank and
file. Though beaten for the Senate,
it is extremely unlikely that he.will
be a passive and neutral political
factor in the future.

Mrs. Hayes denies that she said

John w. Bookwalter is a wealthy
manufacturer and the second largest
farmer in the United States. He
began life a poor country boy. All
he has in this world, his wealth,
travel, vast information and splen-
did intelligence, he has attained by
his own energy alone. No banks,
no railroads, no s%yndicates, no mo
nopolies, 40 wealthy friends or rel

Billy Ortt, George Kelly, Henry
Hill, and all the other old Democrats
who have gone into the Republican

That's encouraging for others who
feel like changing from Democrat to
Republican. You fellows who have
"fopped," how do you like to be

"Vote the Republican ticket and
you will get fifty cents a pound for
your WOOL" was what the Republican
speakers told the farmers last fall.
The farmers that got bit by placing
confidence in that promise are not
shouting for C. Foster this year.
They are disposed to show the Re
publican leaders that it costs some
thing to deceive the people with lies
in that way.

Some of the good innocent Chris
tian Republicans don't believe their
candidates have been assessed $505,
as a corruption fund to be used in
their election. They can be easily
convinced if they will go quietly and
enquire of the "Ring'' if such is not
a fact.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-08-25

1t requires an immense quantity
of brains and of very peculiar quail
ity, to undertake to prove that when
men change from the dominant poll
tical party in a county, and go over
to the minority, they do so for the
sake of office! Yet we have editors
of "small fry" journals who will in
dite a whole column in the effort
1t shows they must have a high ap-
probation of the intelligence of the
average reader of their hebdomadals.

The farmers who were promised
fifty cents a pound for their wool if
the Republicans carried the last cleo
ton, and who didn't get it; the work
iLgmen who were promised better
wages'in the same event and didn't

Republican professions this year.
Perhaps, after all, the lies the Repub-
licans told last fall will turn out a
poor investment.

Billy Ortt ought not to scratch
another line as Secretary of the Re

crease in acreage of tobacco. The
condition of tobacco at the date OF
the returns to this Department was
somewhat lower than at this time
