thus tar chiefly dead work IN prcpa-
ration for large yield during the
approaching season. The assays
made return about the same results
as from the Western Home
The Signal has received consider
able development, having q main
tunnel in three hundred and two
feet, one shaft sixty five feet, two
eight-foot each and Il second tunnel
has been driven from the discovery
point ioTty-fve feet in on the ledge.
The ore in the Signal is principally
galena, and runs from forty to one
hundred and eighty ounces to the
ton Several tons Of ore are now
lying on the dump
The work thus far accomplished
on these properties was done mainly
for the purpose of developing and
to ascertain something Of the value
Of the ore in each mine. Between
the Western Home and the Signal Il
| cross-eut was made which is two
hundred and seventy-fve feet in
length and averages seven feet in
depth The ore lays in seams, and
the formstion is dyke, porphyry and
granite. Pierce 4 Chapman com
| pleted contract driving tunnel
i two hundred feet on the Signal last
winter, and Mr.. Cochran is complet-
ling d contract for one hundred feet
OF tunnel. The indications Of strilS-
4 ing a large lodge in making this cut
{ are favorable. The buildings which
have been constructed are substan-
tial affairs and. in fact, everything
done on the property thus far looks
as if it was being worked systemats
ically and with view to large re-
, turns in the future. Since the pur-
, chase of these claims the Western
, Home Company has expended
/, upwards Of seven thousand dollars,
and although they have not received
any returns, as yet, there are sever
al hundred tons of rich ore on the
! dumps which will go a long way
toward covering the outlay to date,

SOME of the very suave friends of tt

SOME of the very suave friends of the
Democratic nominee for Congress in
this district are urging his claims with
a perslstency worthy of better cause.
Republicans are asked to forget that
this nominee in his past political action
has been the advocate of ali that is hate
full and odious in Republican eyes.
They are asked to forget that he is the
representative of the Democratic party,
nominated by Democratic convention,
which applauded to the echo the foulest
abuse of the Republican party by its ORA
tors, and that if chosen to Congress he
would be controlled by the DEGREES of
Democratic caucus. He would act with
his party, in endeavoring to repeal our
tariff laws, thus placing our workmen
upon an equal with the pauper labor OF
Europe, or stop the wheels of industry,
leaving million of men unemployed.
He would act with the party in its at
tempt to destroy the best financial sys-
tenn under the sun, and in its persistent
war upon National Banks. Subject to
the decree of majority of his party,
and true to his principles he would re
fuse to vote supplies to the army unless
it was stipulated that the soldiers were
not to interfere with the high preroga-
tives of the shot gun brigades and bal
lot-box suffers of the South. The truth
is that Mr.. Alexander, ambitious to
figure in the halls of legislation, would
be absorbed in the Democratic party in
Congress.
Such being the facts the duty of Re-
publicans is plain. Let their votes for
congressman register their principles, S,
and in October when the result Is pro-
claimed, it will he that the 18th Ohio
district stands fast for sound financial
system-a tariff which protects and re-
wards capital and labor-a free ballot,
and the ample protection of every citizen
of the republic, white or black.

THE last twenty years have been
evenful ones in the history OF the Uni
ted States, and looking back at the
many important questions that have
been met and settled in that time, it is
worth while to mention that without a
single exception the Democratic party
Was Oh the wrong side. During all
these twenty years Ross Alexander, the
Democratic nominee for Congress in the
18th district, has been an active Demo
cratic politician, working to sustain this
party, and voting for its candidates, ex-
cept when he could strike down 4 mem
ber of his own party who had stood in
the way of his ambitions, or crossed his
pathway by using his influence and
voting against him.

Temperance Record of a Candidate.

The Ohio State Journal has been hunt
ing up the legislative record of the Dem
ocratic candidate for secretary of state,
and finds that he has always been the
subservient tool for the liquor dealers.
In 1868 and 1869 James w. Newman
served in the legislature of this state,
and invariably recorded his vote against
any measure designed to protect the
community from the wholesale evils of
the liquor traffic. On February 2l, 1868,
the committee on temperance reported
an &C. to provide against the evils re-
sulting from intemperance. This act
provided that any person found guilty of
violating the first three sections of an
act passed May l, 1854, and amended
April ), 1858, should be punished by fine
and Imprisonment. 1t further pruyid-
ed that places kept by parties SO con-
victed should be shut up and abated
upon the order of the court until they
entered into bond in the penal sum of
81 900 that they should not sell intoxica-
ing liquors contrary to the laws of the
state, and, furthermore, pay all fines.
damages and costs assessed against them.
The act also provided against any inter-
ference with sales of beer, ale. cider. or
pure juice of the grape manufactured in
this state. 1t will thus be seen that the
bill interfered with nothing but aIco-
holic beverages The measure failed in
the house by a vote cf SO nays to 81 yeas.
h.
Mr.. James W. Newman. At the next
session of the Legislature Mr.. Lee. of
Delaware county, introduced bill which
made it unlawful for any person or
persons, by agents or otherwise, to sell
intoxicating liquors to minors, unless
upon the written order of their parents,
guardians, or family physician" 1t also
made it unlawful for any person or per-
sons to sell Intoxicating liquors to per-
sons intoxicated, or who are in the habit
of getting Intoxicated" This part of
the bill simply changed a law then in
existence so as to place the burden of
proof upon the accused instead of the
accuser There was nothing unreasona-
bic or unjust in this, and Yet when. on
the Sd of May, 1869, the bill was mn ON
its first passage. Mr.. James w. Newman
voted nay. The bill was defeated, and
the Democratic candidate for secretary
of state assisted TO kill it. During the
same session the house of Representa-
tives considered a joint resolution pro-
posing to submit to vote of the reople
an amendment to the constitution, which
read eS follows; License to traffic in
intoxicating liquors shall hereafter be
granted in this state" Mr.. Newman
was unwilling to trust the people with
the duty of determining whether they
would or. would not sanction the liouor
traffic. and therefore voted against the
resolution. Thus, as legislator. he
steadily opposed any interference what
ever with the traffic in distilled liquors.
He is now the party candidate for a
prominent state Office, and the exponent
of "free whisky and no Sunday" With
such record he deserves to be elected
to stay at home, and that, doubtless. will
be his fate.-CIeveland Leader.
