POLITICAL NOTES.

THE President has able TO sit up little in his
bed.
Mr.. BooKwALTER, in his letter of acceptance, ad-
voctes 'the abolition of the spoils SYSTEM" His fol-
lowers don't.
IT is open question among politicians,
whether Mr.. Bookwalter ever voted Democratic
ticket in his life.
THE New York Herald says the President is afllict
ed with nocturnal eXacerbation." We're afraid the
President will be killed yet.
In his youth, Bookwalter attempted TO invent a
flying machine. II he had it now, he might beat
Foster. He can never out-run Foster.
BooKwALTER once invented telescope. But it
would not be powerful enough to enable one to sec
any point, sense in his Letter of Acceptance
Col. VANCE is again beginning to shine as Dem
ocratic Reformer. In the Book of Time the valiant
traveller is recorded jsuel. Where's 'expert?''
THE doctors have at last discovered that the bullet
fred by Guiteau lodged in the iLiac fossa. Good
We're glad to hear it, No man ever died with bull
let in his iLiac fossa!
1T is reported that Mr. Bookwalter is willing to pay
$4,000 for the privilege of being defeated by Foster
that is a campaign fund The Enquirer notifies
Mr.. B. that sa5, 900 is not enough.
AT Democratic Conference in Toledo, on last
Thursday, it decided to conduct the campaign as
''stin hunt,'-that Is lying match against pre-
vious record. Book -Buch-walter is to 60 around
over the State and sho0 himself but not to speak.
THE Democratic Conference in Toledo decided to
make the last few weeks of the campaign decidedly
hot. That's the way they did last Fall. They worked
themselves into a sweat ehalking 32s on sidewalks
and and this and other hot work swept the
State-for the Republicans.

membership, in an undue manner.
We do not believe this. True, the
ministers and members of this church
are men of like passions and preju-
dices as other men. Taking the intel
ligence, high moral character and
standing of these preachers, as a
whole, they do, and should have, a
great influence over their parishioners.
We have often thought, and said,
that if the various church member
ship, with their ministers, would take
decided, radical and determined ground
in favor Of temperance, the curse OF
intoxication could be controlled.
This, the professed Christians are now
attempting to do. We most sincerely
believe that it is mistake to run a
separate ticket. with the design to de-
feat the Republican party. We In
tend to try and convince the temper
ance people of this-not by knocking
down and dragging out the preachers,
and all others who honestly think a
different course to be the correct one.
If we believed that the temperance
people, including the preachers, were
aiming at any thing not for the best
interests of mankind, we would be as
ready and willing as any one to de-
nounce them; but we believe they are
now commencing to perform a duty
that they should have performed years
ago, and we bid them God speed. The
only trouble is, are they taking the
proper course to effect the noble pur-
pose they have in view? We think
not.
Abraham Lincoln said to Horace
Greeley that if he could save the
Union by saving slavery, he would
save slavery; if he could save the
Union by abolishing slavery, he would
abolish slavery, etc. We now say, if
we could destroy intemperance by
destroying the Republican party, we
say let the party go; if we could des-
troy intemperance by knocking down
and dragging out the Methodist
preachers, (of course speaking fgura-
tively,) we say let the preachers go.
We believe the best way to destroy
the curse Of intemperance is to
strengthen both the preachers and
the Republican party. If we can be
convinced that we are in error, we
will vote the temperance ticket, and
let the grand party Of human rights
and Christian progress go.

The above is going the rounds of
the Democratic papers, and they print

wonderful condescension! What
would you think if one Of the Repub-
Gcan managers Of a furnace in jack
son county should tell his Democratic
hands that he would be graciously
permitted to vote for the candidate of
his choice? Why say anything to
hired men about the manner in which
they should vote? There has hardly
been year for the past twenty years,
that we have not had one or more
Democrats at work in our office. We
never thought of attempting to con-
troll their votes, or meddle with their
free exercise of their political rights.

there is large Hebrew vote in Ohio.'' What sgni-

you were mistaken then, and you grievously mis-

THE nomination of Bookwalter re-
minds US of an old story; but before
we tell the story we will ask who
ever heard of Bookwalter in politics
before he began to send his money
around to get his nomination set up?
But the story. In the year 1914 the
Democratic party nominated James
K. Polk as their candidate for Presi-
dent. He had never been heard of
outside of small portion Of Tennes-
see. He was like Gen. Hancock's tar
iff-a very local issue. When the
news came to certain Democratic
town, an enthusiastic Irish Democrat
began to dance around, throw up his
rimless hat, and he once or twice
yelled out, ''hutherarah for Jimmy
