The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1882-09-07
POLITICAL NOTES.

One reason why the Democracy are not more |
is that that Jackson township bull |
is dead.
Samuel Hull is launched upon the Demo-
cratic wave for Infirmary Director. He will be
scuttled by Steve Dixon.
Our dearly beloved Bro Gould elevated his
basement story last week, and turned a COM
plete somersault, and is now red-hot for free
beer and no Sunday, the Devil and Toln
Walker.
There is no better man in Jackson county
than William B. Cherington. The fact that
two or three scoundrels blackguard him, ought
to be sufficient grounds for his receiving the
votes of all honest men.
We are pleased TO learn that Mr.. Kearney is
fair blacksmith. He will make just good
living working at bis trade after his defeat as
he ever did. Mr.. Kearney should keep his tools
about him, and not permit his fires to go out.
10. Andres says that he is now ready for that
examination. He will put up Woodson, in an
educational test, against the whole Democratic
ticket. If the School Examiners will not say
that Woodson knows more than the whole of
the Democratic ticket, Jo will vote that ticket.
We have no word to say against Edgar
Thompson, but we regard Mr.. Woodson
as De1nS at least dS STOu ds
son in every respect, possessing superior
qualifications, and being much more desira-
bic man for Republicans to vote for. Mr.. Wood
sons majority ought to be at least six hundred.
Some of the young men erected a beer stand
and dancing platform in PiclSrel's woods, on
Wednesday of last week. But the good Lord
sent the foods and drowned out the two or
three persons who attended. 1t is claimed by
some that this was an adjourned meeting of the
late Democratic "Convention," +" but this may be
a mistake. It's of use for a Democrat to
buck against the rain, for water and Democracy
don't mix, this year.
Like all truly good people, we sometimes
turn to our Bible for consolation and enlighten-
ment in moments of perplexity. When that
little squad of Democratic Jeremy Diddlers at
the Court House decided to run John Buckley
for Commissioner, we maiveled much how
such man as John could affiliate with such a
crowd. Mechanically opening our Bible, this
was the first thing that met our truly pious
gaze: st. John, xvi, l, 2-"These things 1 have
spoken unto you, that ye should not be offend
ed. They shall put you out of the synagogues
yea, the.time cometh, that whosoever killeth
you will think that he doeth God SERVICE"
I Maj. Matthews is jolly good soul, and enjoys
a hearty laugh. On the day of the Democratic
at OOurL HOUSE, hdJ. iStuSheu
at some funny Incident. This caused an asham-
ed Democrat to exclaim: "Ah, you may laugh
now, but our time will come!' So 1t will-so il
will, friend. Repent, even now, for the day is
at hand. Your time is almost here. The days
of the party of free beer and no oSunday-drunk-
enness and general deviltry, free trade and
general cussedness, are drawing beautifully to
a close. Already the undertaken has taken the
measure. and is hauling ice to preserve the stiff.
upon the remains, and the bells in a hundred
valleys joyfully toll the funeral dirge. For the
few remaining days the Democracy must not
be crowded by. "SumptuaIy Laws" We must
not even deny the right of the remains to
stink.
