POLITICAL NOTES.

Boys, you have patriotic duty to perform
the burial of the remains of the Democratic
party. Let no one shirk his duty.
Couldn't that democratic nigger'' be hired
to make few speeches between now and the
election?
Blaine is said to be turning his guns on Vir-
ginia, now, in support of the strightout Repub-
lican ticket.
The only sign of craftsmanship possessed by
Jim Newman is that his paunch is SO big that
he cannot see his knees. He is fit representa-
tive of Gambrinus.
No man will be called upon to vote this time,
upon any of the old-time issues between the
parties. 1t is contest between decency and
drunkenness, order and chine.
When you go to vote, remember that this is
the rear-guard, the tag-end, of the infamous
d, mocratic party of old. 1t is our duty to scat
ter this parting mob with another shot.
If Mast were to attempt to design q cartoon
representing the party of "Free Beer and No
Sunday" Jim Newman's portrait would far
excel the production of Nast's Imagination
The Democratic papers and stumpers are Wig
orously bowling that Temperance is not an
isSue!" Whence arises this uneasineSs? Are
they afraid 10 meet the Republicans upon a
temperance issue?
We suppose that if Jim Newman were elected
Secretary of State, he would want to carry the
old, bullet-scarred battle-fags out of the State
House with pair of tongs He ould want to
-bnt he would be too lazy to do it.
The Republican party says TO the voter ave
believe in educating your children into good
useful, and patriotic citizens"
The Democratic party say.: 1--WE believe in
making them drunkards and Sabbath break
ers."

qualifications possessed by candidate for Record

WHILE we differ with the N. Y.
Tribune in many things, yet it gets
off some excellent things about the
Democracy. Here is one of them:
THE RAG, TAG AND BoBTAIL PARTY.
An able and experienced Democrat
is credited with saying Of his party:
80 long as it thinks to win by ad-
dressing itself to the rag, tag and bob
tail, SO lopg will it remain out of
control Of the Government. When it
comes to recognize the act that the
conservative and property-holding in
-terests of the North intend to rule
and TO hold the hummer elements
under subsection, then it will have a
chance to come into power" This is
tantamount to saying that the Demo-
cratic party will never come into
power. 1t has addressed itself so long
to the rag, tag and bobtail'' that it
can adopt no other course. 1t puts
itself under the control of the ''bum-
mer elements" as naturally as a duck
swims. No matter what the issue
may be, the side of it which the bum
mers take is certain to be the Demo-
cratic side.
When Denis Kearney and the Hood
lums cry ''away with the Haythen Chi
neer' the Democratic party not only
takes up the cry but forges letter to
help it along. When the Irish dyna-
mite operators, led by demagogues of
the Rosa stripe, cry out against an
American Minister who is an honor to
his country and a credit to her
wherever he goes, the servile Demo
cratic press take up the cry and de-
mand his instant removal. When the
rumsellers of, the Western States say
that liquor shall not only go untaxed
but shall be sold freely ON Sunday as
well as on every other day of the
] week, the Democratic party cries
amen, and throws its whole influence
on the side Of the rumsellers and
against society.
There has not been a prize-fghter,
a dynamite Irish fend, "a rumseller or
rowdy Of any kind for years who
has thought Of voting anything but
the Democratic ticket. We do not say
that these are the only kind of men in
the Democratic party. There are
thousands Of upright, honorable, pa
triotic gentlemen there, but they are
in very small and powerless minority.
If they were not, the party would take
a different course. But as it exists
today, as the Democrat we have quot
ed observes, the hummer" element is
in control, or might as well be. The
great error Of the party is, and always
has been, in supposing that ignorance
is more powerful than intelligence in
this country. 1t is not, and never
will be.

Death of Simpson Jones.

Mr.. Simpson Jones, an old and
highly esteemed resident Of Liberty
township, died yesterday morning at
$40 o'clock, at the Warner House,
where he stopped a few days ago on
his way to Columbus, to consult DIR.
Seltzer, but was unable to go farther,
or to return home. DR.. Seltzer, was
then sent for, and came to the city to
see him, but his treatment effected
but temporary relief. The general
impression was that an operation had
been performed upon him by DR.. Self
zer, but such is not the fact. His
trouble was believed to be structure of
the bladder, Of about two and half
years standing. From the time his
son Earest's death, which occurred
Just nine weeks before his own, he
rapidly declined. His mind was
strong and clear to the last. He
leaves widow and one son, Charles.
As soon as practicable his remains
were removed to his home, in Liberty
township, and post mortem exam
nation was conducted by Doctors J.
w. Lash and G. S. Franklin. His
funeral Will take place at concord
Church, at four o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Jones was the oldest son of MIR.
Henry Jones, sr.; was born within
half nile of his present home, and
was about sixty-six years old at the
time Of his death. He was married in
the spring Of 1851, to Miss Nancy E.
Stevenson, of Jackson, Ohio, daugh-
ter Of Judge Stevenson. Besides the
relatives mentioned, Mr.. Jones leaves
his mother, Mrs. Rachel Jones, ven-
erable lady Sc years old; three sisters
and three brothers. He was a man
of many peculiarities Of character,
but was useful, public spirited citi-
zen, Of pronounced opinions on all
questions, honest and independent in
thought and action, and will be sadly
missed by the citizens of his township,
as we'll as his own immediate family.
We find the above in the Chilli
cothe Gazette. Mr.. Jones was known
to many of our citizens. and was a
man much esteemed for his honesty
and promptness in all his business
transactions.

COALITION, O.. Sent. 25, !

COALITION, u, sept. 20, lSS2.
To the Editors of the Standard:
This is free country. all men being equal before
the law. No matter from what country
may have sprung, the moment he becomes citizen of
the United States heis the equal of every other ci
zen wisdom, talents and virtue being the only differ
ence among men in this country. Men are selected
for because of their birth place color but
because of honesty and capability. The Republican
party has of every and nation IN positions of
trust and honor because Office being open to the am
biton the ability ana talent of every citizen without
regard TO nationality race, color or previous cond
ton, and talent succeed in carrying off the hon.
The Republican party does not enquire where
man born, what the color of his skin may be,
but whether he is honest and capable. The Republic
can party welcomes men of every race and cline to
shores; the Republican party struck the shackles
from the feet of of slaves and elevated them
from chattlehood to manhood and citizenship.
No true Republican therefore will vote against any
candidate for Office because of nationality color.
Mr.. Lawrence Woodson who is the regular nominee
of the party for County Recorder is gentleman of
education and is in every way competent to fill the
Office. He a slight tinge of African blood. If he
Scotchman, Weshman, white American
he could be no more competent than he is. Because
there is lingering prejudice against colored people
holding Office, appeal is being made to working
men to vote against Woodson. No working man
should pay the least attention to such appeal born
of ignorance and prejudice. On the contrary they
should vote for Woodson, because he has in the face
of prejudice against his an honorable posi-
tion in society. will vote for Woodson, and feel
honored in doing so 1 vote for man who without
the aid of wealth wealthy relations has carved out
honorable place in society 1t is the highest glory
of American institutions that greatest and best
men have come up from the bottom and, so may it
ever be. ANDREW ROY.

REV. T. L. HUGHES will be installed
pastor Of the Presbyterian Church Of
Pomeroy ON next Sabbath evening"
Rev. j. NJ. Nourse will preside and
preach the sermon and Rev. Geo. J. E.
Richards, of Gallipolis, will deliver
the charge to the pastor and Rev. FL.
B. Scott, of Middleport, the charge to
the people. Rev. Hughes graduated
at the Ohio University in the class Of
1871 with DR.. Richardson, and after
wards finished his education in Europe.
Athens Messenger.
The Messenger is mistaken. Mr.
Hughes was never in Europe, we
think. After he graduated at Athens
he went to Princeton College, and
graduated there. Then he attended
law school in Cincinnati, read law with
Judge Trip, practiced with the late
Judge Hastings, and then went to
Lane Seminary and studied for the
Ministry.

Prohibition.

JACKSON, O., Sept. 21, 1882.
The Congressional Convention Of
the Prohibltionist Reform Party Of
the 18th District met at Jackson and
nominated candidate for Congress,
Rev. Alva Crabtree, Of Sciotoville,
Scioto county. He is worthy and
fully fitted for the office None
exceed in those good qualities that
will recommend him to the public,
patronage Of the temperance people
of the District that he represents. No
one can say that Mr.. Crabtree is a
reformed drunkard, or that he ever
was known to even take dram f, r
his stomach's sake. He was born in
Jackson COUNT, raised by very re-
spectacle family, became a member of
the F. W. Baptist Church when quite
young, commenced the public minis
try when a boy, has made his n.ark in
this work as much so as any man in
Southern Ohio, and we are happy to
Say to the public he has voted the
Prohibition ticket squarely since 1875.
1t is hoped that the voters Of this
Congressional District will lay aside
party prejudice and affiliations aud let
US meet the present issue squarely,
and not try to compromise any longer
with this gigantic crime Of crimes.
We shall not say anything against
Mr.. Mccormick or Mr.. Leedom as
men, but we do say that it is nonsense
to trust to either party for temper
ance reform, and they dare not, as all
other representatives of the same par
ties, go beyond their platform; if they
do, they will be dropped. But we
can say without the least fear, that
if the people will support Mr.. Crab
tree, that we have man that repre-
sents the true principles of the Re-
publican party as we'll no Democrat !
will have nothing to sacrifice. Is it
not policy for us to come out at once
and adopt Prohibition principles, for
we will be forced sooner or later to do
so. This momentous issue is upon us
and we have got to meet it.

Fame.

There is paper published at Zanes-
vile, called the District Visitor. A
week or two ago it had the following:
We see the Coshocton STANDARD, of
Sept. 14th, publishes temperance
sermon preached at Jackson, Ohio, by
Rev. w. D. Cherington. It is good.
Much better than it ever entered into
our mind to conceive our old school
mate capable Of producing, in those
days, when white-headed troublesome
boys we frolicked together about the
old school house. But he has done it;
and may be some Of these days we
shall be able to surprise him as to our
capacity for something literary. 1t
we do, he will be alone in the world so
far as experience goes.
The Visitor ought to be temper
ance paper; but when an editor does
not know the difference between Jack
son and Coshocton, we do not know
what to think about it.
