The name of Wallace w. Ross as a
candidate for tho office of State School
Commissioner means success. Mr.. Ross
was the nominee in the Cook campaign,
twelve years ago, when Democratic can
didates were expected to lead forlorn
hope to certain defeat. He has always
taken part in politics and canvassed the
State, particularly the Western Reserve,
where he is well and fayorably known,
He has always been an answering Dem
ocrat, and has assisted the party at all
times, not only on the stump but through
the press. As an evidence of his success
we might mention that he has been Su-
perintendent of the Fremont schools for
nineteen years. He is ''wortby and well
qualified to fill the position with honor
to himself and credit to the party.-Ffe.

Patrick Delaney and Thomas Caffrey.
charged with participation in the murder
of Cavendish and Burke, pleaded guilty
Wednesday morning, and were sentenced
to be hanged Saturday, June 2. Both
men stated that they were forced to go
to the park under pain of death, for what
purpose they did not then know, that
they witnessed the murders, but took no
part in them. Their statements are gen.
orally believed. In this country premed-
itaton is an essential element to the crime
of murder. and in the absence of this, a
man cannot be hung for merely witness
ing an assassination. But it seems to be
good law across the water when the
fanaticism is lord. Toledo Americdn,

Private Dalzell, well known as former
Representative from Noble county, and
always an active Republican, gives the
following testimony as to what killed the
Republican party:
1t is money, money, all money that
ruined our good old party. Its Offices
sold for cash in convention. Its high Of
fees used to enrich thives. The first
year Of the administration devoted to
trying Republican President; the sec
ond year in trying Republican star route
thieves. Bah! 1t stinks.
Think of party killing its President,
murderi2g him because he was not from
New York, and then going before the
country with such damuable record OF
OF assassination with bloody hands to
elect another. 1t can't do it. The Stal.
warts would rather see a Democratic
Governor than a Garfield man. The
Garfield men would rather see the horned
devil in the executive office than Stall
wart. There is another division in our
party, not confined to Ohio either. The
Democrats have us this time, and don't
you forget it, and they know it. They
doubt it no more than they doubt that
the world moves.
l have scarcely doubt that Demo
crat will follow Arthur in the White
House, and his name is Hancock. ~

too that when you fail to find any spe-

In the line of holiday goods, Saur

everything that is beautiful as well as
useful at prices which are within the

on all kinds of goods sold at this house
have ever been the mottos which have
given this house a reputation which is
not excelled and which every one is
proud to speak Of. Saur has always
recognized this fact in all his dealings,
that honest square dealing, represent

which they are, is the only true road
to success, and he who prospers by any
other is sooner or later, either in this
