Temperance and Politics.

Just as we were going to press last
week we received a card from B F.
Scott Esq, which appeared in the
STANDARD last week, and Mr.. Scott
paid us for it's continuance for a
We agree with Mr.. Scott substan-
TALLY in he says in that card. The
people are terribly in earnest upon
this liquor question, and will not stand
much fooling. We regretted that any
opposition should hav4 been made to
Mr.. Jackson's resolution.
1t should be remembered that Mr..
Jackson's resolution was passed blythe
convention by good majority. We
believe that the Lick township dele
CATION. with perhaps one exception,
voted in favor of intemperance, while
the delegates from the country, and
e pecially from the solid Republican
townships in the South part of the
county. Madison, Jefferson, Bloom
field and Franklin, were almost solid
for temperance. The mistake was,
that the chairman ought not to have
permitted any further action upon the
resolution after its passage, and laying
it upon the table after it had been
legally passed, was an error that may
cost Mr.. Jones many votes.
Mr.. ]. M. Trip has furnished us a
copy of the resolution offered by him,
and which was passed by the conven-
tion, by large majority. It is as fol-
lows:
Resoiued, That the successful candidate for Repre-
sentative If elected, is requested by this convention
to use honorable in support of any wise and
constitutional measure looking to the suppression Of
intemperance, that may be introduced in the next
Assembly of the Legislature.
Taking the passage Of Jackson's
resolution, and also the passage of
Trips resolution, by decided MAORI
ties in the conventions; taking into
consideration that last winter the solid
Democratic vote in the Legislature
was cast against temperance, and that
the solid Republican vote, with the
exception Of the members from Gin.
cinnati and Cleveland, was cast fol
temperance, will it be safe-will it bt
prudent, to vote for Mr.. Scott, life
long Democrat?
We still believe that the Republican
party will go as far in favor Of tenn
perance legislation as is necessary ant
practical.

''For time at last makes all things even."-Byron
Somewhat more than four years
ago, after Gen. Hayes had been elect
ed President of the United States by
the Republican party, he sent an un-
authorized commission" to Louisiana,
to break up the Republican Legisla-
ture, and to get the rebels to turn
Gov. Packard out of Office by violence
If Hayes had ever been elected Presi-
dent, it was done so in part by count
ing for him the electoral vote Of Lou
islana. Without the vote Of that
State, Tilden would have been Presi-
dent, and Packard had over thousand
more votes in that State than Hayes
had. For Hayes to accept office by
the vote Of Louisiana, and then turn
Packard out, was piece of rascality
we never could condone.
Hayes was elected by Republicans,
and the Republicans had a right to
expect-even to demand, that his ad-
mlnistration should be Republican
administration; yet at the very start
he put into his cabinet Carl Schurz, a
man who never had any principles,
and a man who worked for the success
of the rebel ticket in 1872.
Hayes also put at the head Of the
Postofice Department, the most i'm
portant department Of the Govern
ment, rebel General named Key, a
man who never admitted that the re-
bellion was a crime, or even a mistake,
so far as the principles involved were
concerned.
We at that time opposed the course
of the President, and our talented
friend John Hopley, editor Of the
Bucyrus Journal, challenged us to a
in our papers.
Now the object of this article is, to
ask our friend Of the Journal if he
does not think that it would be manly
for him to admit that he was mistak-

Albert Castor, for selling liquor On
Sunday, motions were made to quash
the indictments, because they charge
that defendant sold and bartered the |
liquor for 25 cents in money. Coun-
sci for defendant claimed that there
was duplicity, as sale is for money,
while barter is an exchange of prop
erty. The Court overruled the mo-
tions, holding that the objection went
only to the form of stating the Of
fense, and not to the substance, and
that on the trial, the State could be
compelled to elect whether it would
rely upon the sale or the barter, and
evidence would be restricted to the
one charge.
Isaac T. Monahan and Mary Mona

JAMES REDPATH made a ranting
speech in New York one night last
week about the Irish landlords,
announcing his intention of sailing
for Ireland as an "agitator" In the
course of his speech he remarked that
if he should be arrested he dared Sec
retary Blaine, President Garfield, or
the Republican party. to leave him in
prison. Should Mr.. Redpath succeed
in getting himself into prison, how
ever, he will probably find that Blaine,
Garfield, and the Republican party,
will do just the thing he is daring them
to do. The Republican party is not
engaged in sending out men carrying
the American flag for the purpose of
butting their heads against English
bayonets. If Mr.. Redpath wants to
fight the English police, Mr.. Blaine
will not hold him.

The Portsmouth politicians are
fearfully and wonderfully made, po-
itically. Five years ago they were
nearly all crazy after some Kentucky
semi-rebel for President. We believe
his name was Bristow, or something.
Last week they had county conven-
ton, and among other things passed
the following resolution:
solyed That heartily endorse the administra I'm
tSn tho
the President The Republican party needs no boss.
Then they nominated Dan McFar-
land for Representative, and he made
a speech, in the course Of which he
said:
ga5by S Of Family m
ly that did not contain at least ohe pampered child lid
shs naTs St the
ee 20 81 to RE
the dictation Of such a spoiled child as Conklng.
Now Dan is just the man to read
Conkling out of the party. "And I
say let him 60" says Dan.
In the year 1872, while Conkling
was using his great talents and lntiu-
ence to keep the Government out OF
the hands Of the rebels, Mcfarland
was working and voting for the rebel,
copperhead ticket, and supporting
Greeley, the man who bailed the trail
tor jeff Davis out of prison, and who
afterwards died a raving lunatic.
Mcfarland also voted for Vance, the
book and jewelry dealer, as copper
head member of Congress, against Mr..
Bundy. Mr.. Mcfarland also voted
for that imbecile old batherskite Bill
Allen, for Governor. He is just the
man to lead the half breeds Of Scioto
county, and read such Republicans as
Conkling out of the party.
In the mean time the Court in Sci
oto county is kept pretty busy in try
ing cases against the copperhead and
half-breed officers, for stealing the
public money.

THERE was celebration at Ironton
last week, at which Gov. Foster and
other prominent men took part. 1t
was to celebrate the completion of the
Scioto Valley Railroad to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road. There is now a
through route from Columbus to the
Atlantic, by way Of Ironton. We
believe there is no bridge across the
Ohio river yet, and the cars have to be
ferried across the river.

PEOPLE who have fallen in with the
idea that it was the personal popularity
of Charles Foster that brought about the
victory in 1879, should hasten to fall out
with it. That year witnessed the start
of the Republican tidal wave of last year,
and there are thousands of Republicans
in Ohio who could have polled as large a
vote as did Foster.
