The Republican journals continue
to repeat their senseless gabble about
Hoadley paying $4,000 for his nomi-
nation. Perhaps they derive some
amusement or comfort from it. But
it is wicked and malicious lie all the
same, and they know it.
THE coined money of the United
States is marked with letters indica-
ting the mint at which produced. The
letter IS !" has reference to the mint
at San Francisco, "O' the mint at
New Orleans, &C. C" the Carson City
mint. The coin not bearing any mark
are from the mint at Philadelphia.
ACCORDING to Foraker, protective
tariff, will give high prices to the far
mers, high prices to the laborers, high
prices to the manufacturers, and low
prices to the purchasers of manufac-
tured goods. Just how this thing is to
be accomplished doesn't seem alto
gether clear to the unsophisticated
mind. Perhaps the great Foraker can
solve the mystery.
THE Kimball House, at Atlanta,
Ga, was destroyed by fire about five
o'clock Sunday morning. The hotel
was built by A. +. Kimball, and own
ed by Robert Toombs, John Rice, Jo-
seph P. Thompson, and others. 1t
cost $500, 900, and the furniture $l25,-
600, while the insurance was only
$50, 900, among many companies. The
losses by the fire amount to 81 ,000, 900;
insurance not over 500, 600.
1T is passing strange that working
men who are as well and fully paid as
the Republican politicians claim the
laborers are in the factories, mines and
workshops of this country, under q
high protective tariff. should be SO
frequently manifestipg discomfort by
going out on strikes. It wasn't thai
way under the Walker free trade tariff
of lS46. There's a screw loose some
where. m @
THE Republican Congress at its last
session reduced the tariff on wool. by
means of which the farmers are rob-
bed of not less than $12 on hundred
pounds of wool, and at the same time
the same Congress increased the duty
on woolen fabrics, by which the far
mer is fieeced at the other end of the
line. And now the Republican lead
ers have the cheek to attempt to gul
the people by claiming to be in favor
of restoring the tariff which theil
their Congress changed. They spoke
too late.

position of Judge Foraker on very
important question:

tariff which produces revenue.
2. He isopposed to having the gov
ernment economically administered,

Wedding Anniversary.

At the residence of Samuel Boards
ley, Esq, of Campbellsport, August
9Th, 1888, occurred the 33rd anniversa-
ry of the double wedding of Mr.. HI. N.
Ward to Miss Elizabeth M. Babcock
and Mr.. Samuel Beardsley to Miss
Margaret Yontz, all of Ravenna. The
ceremony uniting these parties was
performed by Geo. w. Barclay, ESQ,
of Edinburg, Aug. Sth, 1850, who, ac-
companied by his esteemed wife, to-
gether with the relatives and many
friends of both families, assembled at
the home of Mr.. Beardsly and partici-
pated in celebrating this event. The
entertainments were of most agreea-
BILE and enjoyable character, consisting
of familiar and pleasant rehearsings of
the past. interspersed with music such
as enlivsned similar events a third of
a century ago. The presents were
numerous and especially valuable to
the recipients, attesting as they did
that the friends of Aud Lang Syne
were still friends in the decline of life.
A noticeable feature at this point being
the presehce-of all the parties to the
wedding. Esquire Barclay, the then
officiatine Justice, now after u lapse Of
thirty-three years, was called upon to
make the presentation, which he did
in few well timed and appropriate
remarks. At the proper hour the COM
pany assembled in the shade of the
trees in the heuseyard, and partook of
bountiful and elegant repast. The
occasion was made particularly MEM
orable by the attiring of one of the
brides-Mrs. Ward-in her wedding
dress, which had been carefully pre-
served during these many years past.
After spending an unusually agreeable
afternoon, and extending congratula-
tions and good wishes to the brides
and grooms, the company dispersed,
each recognizing that though years
had added their cares and time traced
burrows and threaded their locks with
silver they were not yet too old to en-
Joy such pleasant and long to be re-
membered anniversaries.

Rx What AutharItYl


1t is announced that more than one
hundred and eighty horses have been
provided for the Presidents trip in the
Yellowstone country. The manager
of this trip appears to be Lieutenant
Gen. Sheridan. Where did he get this
great number of horses Did he buy
them or hire them? Or,aid President
Arthur buy them or hire them through
him? Or, are they army horses, bor-
rowed from the Quartermaster's De-
partment?
1t appears also that telegraph line
is put up to render it easy to cOmmu-
nicate with the President during his
absence on this Summer excursion.
At whose expense is this telegraph
line erected? Is it at the expense of
the Government, or of private parties?
If at the expense of private parties,
how does President Arthur expect to
compensate them for their trouble and
outlay? If at the expense of the Gov
ernment; where is the authority for
applying the public money in that
way? Is there any act Of Congress
which appropriRtes the money?
In m0narchical countries the King
is supposed to have natural right to
Use the public money as he pleases.
He is the sovereign, and the people
must pay; but the United States are
not organised upon that principle.
Where is the authority for the eX-
penditures for the Presidents gratifi-
cation?
The Republican party must go.-[N.

Village Burned.

BOSTON, August 13.-At nine o'clock
Saturday night fire started in the
harness manufactory of r. w. Crock
er in Vineyard Haven lat Cottage City,
and owing to a brisk northeast gale,
quickly swept through the village to
the westward, destroying 80 dwellings
and the entire business portion of the
town except one store. Most of the
dwellings destroyed were cottages be-
longing to Summer residents. There
being no fire apparatus in the town,
assistance was summoned from Cot
tage City by telephone, and succeeded
in checking the fire at half past two
o'clock Sunday morning. The village
is sad sight and is being visited by
thousands from all parts of the island
and from the main land. The loss is
estimated at $40, 900, and the insur-
ance at $64, 200. The wife of James
Davis, an aged citizen, died from ex-
citemsnt caused by the fire.

sound D0ctrIme.

The Democratic State Convention
of Minnesota adopted the following
resolution on the tariff question:
RESOLVED, That every species of
taxation levied upon the many for the
profit of the few and producing rev.
enue in excess of the wants of the
Government, economically admins
tered, is unjust tyrannical, and dam
gerous. A sound policy requires that
the business of the people should be
free from oppressive duties and vexa.
tisus restraints, and that all legislation
in reference thereto should be impair
tial in its objects and equal in its bur-
dens.. We therefore favor such thor
ough revision of the present tariff laws
as will remedy existing evils and result
in. the establishment of a tariff fol
revenue only, as the permanent com.
mercial policy of tliis country.

MUNICIPAL authorities should go a
little slow in reducing the levies for
police and general revenue funds on
account of the money brought into
their treasures by the Scott law. As
that law authorises the Councils of
municipal corporations to prohibit the
sale of ale, beer and porter and to close
up places of resort for tippling and in
temperance, and requires the refund
ing of a proportionate amount OF the
tax paid, no fellow can tell exactly
what may turn up.

THE PLATFORM. /.

The following is the platform OF principles
adopted by the Democratic State convention
held Mt Columbus, June 2lst, 1888: tH
The Democracy ofOhio in Convention assem-
blrd hereby rea ilirm the principles OF the party
as expressed in primaries, state and National
platforrn in rega ard TO personal liberty, the true
functions of the government, and as embraced
in the political creed expounded by the great
founder OF the Democratic party-ThomaS Je1-
ferson. The application OF these principles To
our present condition demands the publication
OF the public service the penlsnmon. ts o. ine
OF ali public burdens, the arrest OF the profliga
cy and exIravagance that corrup. the adniinis-
tration of public affairs. and total change in
the policy that has so long been pursued by the
Republican party, favoring individual and class
interests at the cxponse OF the labOring and
wealth-producing people OF the country; and
we re-snnounce Onr previous declarations for
stable money. the gradual extinction OF the pub
lie debt, anu the payment of pensions to disa-
bled soldiers, their widows and orphans.
2, We favor tariff for revenue limited to the
necessities of govern nment economically admin
fstered, and 40 adjusted in its application to
prevent unequal burdens, encourage productive
Industries a. nome. Afford just compensation TO
labor but not TO create and ioster monopOlies.

projected, was iniquitOus legislation, discTim
