would do we'll to consider the leadership thew

We firmly believe that this water u,or,,.

A Like Sc.

Olmstead, Cuyahoga county, is agi-
tated over question similar to the
school house matter which is the sub
ect of much controversy among the
people of Ravenna. The Leader thus
states the case:
"The people of Olmstead township
decided at the April election to build
"a town hall 10 cost $4,000. Now the
trustees discover that the kind OF a
hall they want will cost more than
that sum. They consulted acting
County Prosecutor Hadden yesterday
upon the legality of erecting "A more
expensive hall than that decided upon.
He advised them not to exceed their
limit, but build il hall for So 600, or
wait and leave the matter OF an in
crease in the price to be voted upon
next spring."

RemCcrati Principles.

In his letter accepting the nonina
ton for Governor by the Democratic
STATE Convention of Georgia, Hon.
Alexander III. Stephens says:
"Be assured if under Providence I
shall live and be elected, it shall he my
earnest desire and endeavOr SO to per
form the high and responsible duties
confided to me us that no one OF any
party or class or condition Of life, can
justly say at the expiration of the term
that he or she suffered any injury or
wrong from any act of commission or
neglect on my part. Those time-hon-
ored principles of Democracy to which
the convention in its platform refers.
in which L was reared and to which |
shall ever adhere, are, indeed, / be-
lieve, the basis upon which all our past
our higher career i'll the future can
hopefully look.
Some of these it may be proper
here to set forth, as they were ann0unc-
ed by Jefferson, the great founder Of
the party, more than three-quarters of
a century ago. equal and exact JUS
tice to all men, of whatever station or
persuasion, religious or political; the
support of the State Governments in
ali their rights as the most competent
administration of our domestic con-
Germs and the surest bulwark against
anti Republican tendencies; the pre-
servation of the General Government
in its whole constitutional vigOr as the
sheet anchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad; a jealous care of the
right of election by the / eople; abso-
lutte acquiescence in the decisions of
the majority, the vital principle of
Republics from which there is no ap-
peal but to force, the vital principle
and immediate parent OF despotism
the supremacy of the civil over the
military authority; economy in the
public expenses that labor may be
lightly burdened; encouragement of
agriculture and commerce, its hand

of the press freedom of person under

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

The Democratic party of Ohio in convention
assembled, reaflirm the great principles which
are the foundation of the government among
which are equal rights to all, special privileges
to none, protection of the weak against the en-
croachments of the strong, equal taxation, free
speech, free press, free schools and first Of all
a free and uncorrupted ballot
RESOLVED, That we favor an honest reform
in the civil service, and denounce the extortion
OF money from Office holders to CORFU OF the bal
lot and control elections, ,as most threatening.
as 1t is the most insidiOus, danger that bCsets
Tree government; and the shameless resort to
sueh methods by the party in power to carry its
ends, evidences the utter abandonment of prin-
ciple Tor place and spoils under "boss" rule.
We denounce the reckless extravagance and
prohigacy of the Republican party in the an
preparation of the public treasure which sbould
be applied to the extinction of the national debt
ana we believe the time has come when by an
honest and economical admin nistration of thc
government the burden eff war taxes which the
people have SO long borne and which in the end

congress to reduce taxes on those articles which

RESOLVED, That stability in the yaIue of
money is primary requisite to industrial and

of the state like the refugees we are
receiving from Russia.
The Governor has good deal to say
about Sunday that is not particularly
important. If he would give two or
three hours of his valuable time to the
| question he would find that it is more
difficult than he imagines. The st.
smith law he need not take to heart.
1T has passed away, and is not likely
to return any more to plague its advo-
Gates or opponents. We are glad to
see that the Governor has cooled slight
ly from the fervent heat of the other
day. 1t is Il dangerous beverage we
know, but he should drink ice water.

Recoming Disgusted.

A Columbus special of the 7th inst.
says "a delegation of prominent
Republican politicians came up today
from Cincinnati to see Governor Eos
ter. Their errand is to labor with the
Governor and, if possible, induce him
to stop bis assaults on the Germans,
and modify his recent utterances on
the liquor question. They represent
that if the campaign takes the course
that Foster has started it upon, there
will be 10 use for the Republicans to
make nominations in Hamilton county

ernor from all parts of the State and

costly blunder.

THERE are eightyfive members OF
Congress who are officers or directors
national banks. Is it at all surprising
that the charters of those institutions
have been extended foranother twenty
wears, and that the Government has
surrendered one of the sovereign pow
ers delegated to it by the constitution
of issuing and controlling the currency
of the country which measures the
value of labor and its products, into
the care and control of corporate mo-
nopolies? When John Quincy Ad-
ans entered the House of Representa-
tiyes he owned several shares of the
United States Bank, but he immedi-
ately sold them, on the ground that no
representative should have an interest
in any matter that might come before
the House for legislation. Times have
changed since then. Now large
number of our representatives are sent
to our National and State Legislatures
by corporations, in which they are in
terested, or by whom they are re-
Uained," either to make laws in their
interest, or to prevent the people from
making laws protecting the public in
terest; in short, to protect class inter-
ests-taxing the many for the benefit
of the few.

THE experience Immediately follow
ing the 4th of July, 1881 and 1882, in
nearly all the large cities in the coun-
try, pretty clearly demonstrated the
danger of the toy pistol. Small boys
in cooking the toy pistol naturally
grasp it in the left hand, and by slip
of the thumb the hammer expIodes
the blank cartridge and it lodges in
the palm of the hand. But little at
tention is paid to the slight wound,
and in week or less lockjaw inter-
venes, and death is sure to follow.
Within the last two years hundreds of
bright boys have died from this cause.
In many cities ordinances have been
passed forbidding the sale of the toy
pistol. This prohibition does not go
far enough. The Legislatures of all
the States should pass laws making it
a penitentiary offense to sell them. A
law could not be made too strong
against the dangerous evil. It ought
to be stamped out ettectually,-[Ex.

From the New 0rl cans Times Democrat
NEW YORK, August "A strange
story comes to me from the deathbed
of the late President Garfield. 1t is to
the effect that while yet in his full
senses, but convinced that he could
not recover, he expressed not only re-
gret, but deep contrition, for the part
which he had borne in depriving Pres
ident .Iiiden of the office to which he
was elected i'll 1876. 1t will be re-

he said, as Judge, but as lawyer"
1t is now related that feeling that he
could not rccover, that his death must
take place within few days, he talked
with his attendants about his public
career as we'll as his personal affairs.
1t is said on authority that I have no
reason to doubt, that he showed him
self sincerely penitent for the part
which he took in the great fraud Of
1876. He regarded that as the one
great stain upon his public career, and
he made some reference to some docu-
ments which he felt sure would serve
to mitigate the Judgment of posterity
upon him. He expressed the greatest
apprehension that at no distant period
an avenging Nemesis would visit upon
his party and friends a terrible revenge
for that wrong. Those who listened
to him were his personal and political
friends they regarded the words and
of Garfield as the effect of
physical weakness and long suffering,
and agreed to be silent regarding them. |

between the Stalwarts and Half-breeds |
they have been repeated, and are at

THE Republican papers are constant

THE Republican papers are constant
ly boasting of what that party has ac-
complished in the way of reducing the
public debt. Considering the amount
of money they have wrung from the
pockets of the people, is it not rather
matter of surprise that the public
burden has not been reduced by double
the amount that it has? That party
by its present Congress has increased
the expenses of the government twen-
ty-five millions of dollars over those
of last year. Had that amount, and

Republican organ. is not much infatu
ated with the high tariff notions o.

piece of sarcasm over one of the prin-
cipal claims of the protection champi-
ons:
Zone of the assertions which the
advocates of the existing high tariff in
the United States are never weary of
affirming and reiterating, is that the
labOrers in the protected industries
have been thereby greatly benefited
through the permanency of employ
ment (the stagnation of industry from
1873 to 1878 and the strikes and lock-
outs of 1882 to the contrary, notwith-
standing) and through the receipt of
extremely high wages, by reason of
which the iron workers of Pennsylva-
MIA, according to the Hon. w. d. KeI-
ley, are enabled and accustomed to
adorn the walls of their residences
with chromos and fine engravings,"
and otherwise to fare sumptuously.'

use of money to control elections;
The enactment of just and equitable
laws and their faithful execution;
A sound and stable currency consist
ing of gold and silver and United States
issued and controlled by the Govern
ment;
That no monopolies be created by
law to interfere with and crush out the
equal rights of the people;
The protection of American citizens
wherever born, native or naturalized,

Local self-government for all the
States. and that the federal government
contine its powers 10 the authority del
egated in the constitution;
The largest individual liberty con-
sistent with the public welfare.
1t is not to be wondered at that the
party of special privileges and monop-
oily don't like the position Of the Dem
ocratic party. But if the people desire
the adoption of the reforms enumera-
ted, if they would get rid of the job
bers and treasury plunderers who are
pauperiZing the country, and restore
the government to honest, economical
rule, they must vote to restore the
