A Radical SublerfuRe,

The Republicans of the Senate lacked
one vote to constitute the necessary
three-fifths majority t.. pass the resO-
luton submitting the question 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 Republicans.-IP Ports
mouth Tribune.
The foregoing statement is incorrect,
to speak mildly. The Republican lead
ers, to extricate their party from a di-
lemma on the temperance question,
prepared a make-shift amendment,
embracing several propositions, more
than necessary, and labored to force
its adoption by the General Assembly,
to relieve the Republicans of response
bility, by referring the matter to the
people. This subterfuge the Demo-
cratic Senators would not accept, but
offered to the Republicans a PROPOSE.
ton. striking from the Constitution
the clause prohibiting license, and the
substitution of the following:
"The Legislature shall pass laws
regulating or restricting the sale Of in
toxicating, vinous and malt liquors.
and to compensate for injuries result
ing therefrom."
With the adoption of this amend
ment by the General Assembly and
ratification by the people, the Legisla-
ture 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 Republican
Senator present voted No." prevent
ed its adoption, and exposed the insin-
cerity of Republican professions.

IN their efforts to make it appear
that the Democrats are dissatisfied
with their ticket the Republican lead
ers and papers are driven to the asser-
ton of the most mendacious falsehoods
Among those whom they have assert
ed would not support Bookwalter is
that old and tried Democrat, General
George w. Morgan. But the General,
in the following card to the Plain
Dealer, nails the base lie to the counter:
The nomination of Mr.. Book walter
is one of the strongest that could have
been made, and he will receive the
cordial support of every Democrat.
Respectfully, GEO. w. MORGAN"
And still they will keep right on in
fabricating their falsehoods.

The President had a back-set on
Sunday, but since then his condition
has been regarded as somewhat inn
proved, and faint hopes are entertained
for his recovery, but his condition is
still regarded as extremely critical.
He has swallowed considerable food in
the last forty-eight hours, still exhaus-
ton is increasing because Of lack of
ability to assimilate such easily digest
ed food as has been given him. The
nourishment administered by natural
or forced methods does not increase his
strength or repair the waste of his sew
en- weeks prostration and suffering.
From hints given in the dispatches it
is apprehended that he is delirious at
times and at others barely conscious.
A dispatch from Harry Garfield to
the Republican Democrat, dated at
1O:15 Wednesday morning, says:
Papa slept well last night, and con.
tinues to take food with relish. His
condition is quite favorable, and we
are more hopeful.

THE Bucyrus Journal, the organ OF
the Republicans of Crawford County,
says of the candidate of it's party for
Governor:
Foster has evinced neither
ability as an administrator,
consistency as a partisan, wis

as a politician, honor towards
other great men of the party,
nor fidelity to the people who
elected him.

GEN. A. V. RICE says: "The State
ticket nominated by the Democrats is
An exceedingly strong one, and be-

THE Alliance News, a Republican
organ, is telling things about &C"

THE Virginia Republicans object to

Reunion of the hump Family.

Another of those pleasant affairs,
which are becoming SO numerous, be-
cause SO enjoyable, occurred at the res
idence of Mr.. VIM. Jones, of Hiram,
Wednesday, Aug. 18th. The descend
ants of Phillip Bump, of Mantua, have
for more than a decade ofyears, select
Ell one day of each year in which to
meet for family visit. For number
of years these reunions were held at
Mantua Center, where all the relatives
of the family, who could possibly at
tend, were cordially welcomed by Mrs.
g. B. Stilson-the youngest daughter
of Phillip Bump--and her husband,
who reside Oh the old Bump homestead
The last two years, however, the elder
daughters have entertained the friends
at their homes. Last year the reunion
was held at the home of Mrs. Lewis
Reed, of Auburn, the eldest daughter
of the family; this year at Mr.. VIM.
JONES' whose wife is the next younger
daughter now living. The day was
most auspicious for the occasion, and
As the many carriages drew up tefore
the pleasant farm house and deposited
their loads of smiling faces and cover
ed baskets, even a stranger passing by
would have known good time was
anticipated there, while the hearty
greeting of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones caused
everyone to {" feel at hOme," and OF
course day of comfort was the result.
The number present was fifty-five,
including children, grandchildren land
great grandchildren of Phillip Bump,
and a number to whom he was great
uncle. Many of the relatives were un-
avoidably detained in distant homes.
| About three o'clock dinner was served
| upon tables in the yard, under the
| trees. 1t is enough to say, that the
tables were laden with delicacies rich
and rare, substantials varied and pro-
fuse, which disappeared with surpris'
ing rapidity, only to be replaced by
others as tempting. When at last
poor human nature could endure nc
more and the tables were deserted, the
business of the meeting was attended
to. Mr.. J. r. Day was called to the
chair and the Secretary's report was
read and accepted. Mrs. s. R. Day
read very interesting history of the
family, and the events of Importance
occurring since the history of the pre-
vious year. The Secretary read the
acknowledgment of invitations, ant
regrets of some of the absent ones, anC
committees for the following year were
chosen. 1t was decided to visit th'
home of Mrs. S. r. Day, in Edinburg
for the next meeting. At an earl,
hour many began to think of hom
duties, and the carriages were 500,
rolling away with occupants somewha
weary with feasting and visiting, bu
all agreeing it was good to be there,
and promising that the next yea
shauld see the same scenes reenacted
hoping that the addition next year c
the absent ones, would prove one NOR
attraction to these pleasant famil
visits. s. X. &.

THERE seems to have been some-
thing of a decline in the boasted pros
perity of the country since William
Window took charge of the Treasury
Department. He has done a very lib.
eral thing in putting his hands into
his pockets and relieving the people
of much of the national debt, but when
it comes to making good times and
promoting the general prosperity OF
the country he isn't anything to be
compared to John Sherman, and the
Republicans should lose no time in
restoring honest" John, the Ohio
man, to the management of the money
bags.

MANY complaints are coming from
the South of the great increase of
drunkenness among the negroes, and
one paper of the Republican persua-
sion advocates that the same laws that
apply TO the Indians be extended to
the negroes, and that it be made q
felony to sell them liquor. This jour-
nal forgets that the Indians are not
citizens, but are under the guardian
ship of the government, while the
negroes are citizens, and presumably
capable Of looking after themselves.
