FRIEND TIMMoNs The Republican
Convention WINS held in the City Hall, OF
Monday, August 90, and first class set o
men were nominated. Although Demo
cratic county the Republicans succeeded
in clccting their Sheriff two years ago, Mr.
Rickenbeker, who was again nominated
aud as lie has been one OF the beat Sherin's
ever elected in this county, both Repnbli-
cans and Democrats are determined 10
elect him again, both for his honesty and
the faithful discharge of his duties us an
officer.
The city has been crowded with strangers
attending the State Fair. 1t was n success
and the finest assortment OF almost everv
thing used in the world was there, The
splendid and magnificent display of sheep,
cattle, and horses, were, err,pcrlnps,uncpunlled
in Ohio, or any other State, of course.
Like oll gatherings of similar nature, n
host of thieves, gamblers and pick-poclsctH
were on hand and played their avocntions
briskly, willie lewd women thronged the
city TO the disgust OF the respectable por-
ton, and to the sorrow OF their associates.
Col. L. T. Hall, the Governors private
secretary, alter short vacation TO recu-
perule, hus returned. The true gentleman
and the scholar is embodied in the chnrac-
ter of Col. Hall. While speaking OF sol
diers Isaac ii. Angle might be mentioned
who served all through the war, and the
march to the sea. Ike has been engaged
in the State House long time. and be-
longed TO the 46th O. V. l., and is thor
ough Republican, u capital good fellow,
full of fun and wit, nnd is hard worker
for Republican principles.
Capt. A. Cope, of the Secretary's office,
hns recovered from his recent illness. aud
his pleasant, GENIAL counlenance is visible
again at hia old familiar post. Everybody
loves Capt. Cope, and for nobleness Of soul
and generousness of heart, he most certain
ly has no superior and few equals.
| II is n burning shame to see 10 large n
number of well dressed loafers in the Cap
| i,ol City. No American should ever COM
plain of want of employment. Muscle,
brain, and nerve power are ut all times in
demand j our young men would only
learn little true wisdom, how much bet
ter it would be for the country. III they
cannot be Legislators, professional men, OF
merchants, they should not walk the streets
of the city and complain OF nothing to do
| With country composed o. millions ol
acres of fertile soil, will, rivers filled with
food, with every species of minerals abund
ant, there is now, and ever will be a chasce
for every American youth to earn his owr
living. But the trouble is, the great cen
ters of population with their attractive
places of amusement and social clubs, s,drair
the country of much valuable material, b,
the great food of young men who rush in
to positions, poorly paid, sacrifice theil
manhood and love of independence, that
they may join the brilliant throng, and b'
carried away with the crowd,it matters moi
where. Wisdom upon the other hane
teaches that the true policy of u people o.
State is to devote our energies in develop
ing the blessings God has given US.
Your Old Friend,
WIN. THos, Mcdowell.
