THE D1ssRAcEr11. Coxvrxr,ox bsld !,

IHE DIsGRACEFUL CONVENTION held in
cincinnati by the Hamilton County Demo
cracy last Saturday is enough to make
honest citizens of all parties demand an
early reform in the methods of conducting
politics. John Mclean, the recognized
Democratic boss of Cincinnati, by liberal
use of money and by careful planning,
forced ticket of his own choice upon the
Democrats No secret was made of the
matter. A committee on credentials ap
pointed by defunct executive board threw
out enough delegates to give McLean's
ticket large majority. All efforts to over
throw the combination were complete
failure. A large number of the delegates
were wellknown street roughs, familiar to
the police. The police were there in nur-
bers to preserve order, but every vote taken
was characterized by fights and d;sgraceful
conduct, caused by the attempt to cast the
vote of some delegation for candidate
who was not their choice. The counting of
ballots was not according to the votes.
Mclean had control of the leaders of the
convention and managed things with a
high hand. Many of the delegates in
dulged in the Democratic beverage too
much and became so demonstTstive in
their manner that they were removed. A
laIge portion Of those who would naturally
be disguised at such proceedings let early
in the day. The convention was mose like
riot than a meeting of men to consult to-
gether. The dissatisfaction among the
Democrats is alarming. Harmony exists
nowhere. There is some talk of calling
another convention. Such is fair sample
of the morals and methods of the unter,i-
fed and unwashed. And still their party
hacks have no eve except for the Sins of
the Republicans, and are, IS usual, crying
for reform and an Office.

Temperance.

THE Social Union of Friday, Aug. 18th,
in the s. S. rooms of the Methodist Church
Wellington, had the subject of Temper
ance as the theme of their literary exer-
cises, when the following essay written for
that occasion was read by its author, Miss
Eleanor McDermott:l
Why do we read novels? Can we learn
from them? are good questions. We can
learn from them and we all know it, but,
do we, is the question which is to decide
whetherwe ought to spend our time on them
ro not. In the same manner must all primer
ples of individual conduct be decided.
"Can go to-day to Huntington or Ober-
lin to my greatest edvantage"' is busi-
ness mans simple question. If the man
can make one hundred dollars by going to
Oberlin and but five by going TO Hunting.
ton, you say he is fool to go to Hunting
ton. because there are no hills to climb in
that direction and there are hills toward
Oberlin. Does not the difference between
one hundred dollars and five dollars make
the climbing of the hills, even in bad
weather, small objection in an attempt to
pass them? Are not the advantages to be
gained in taking the road of difficulties to
the city of Temperance, Good-living and
Honor as much and even mole than the
difference between the one hundred and
the five dollars of profit?
The disadvantage to be reaped on The
road of inclination, TO the city of excited
passion and appetite, are to be dreaded
more than can be expressed, simply on ac
count of the name of the road, Iead on the
guide posts, Evil"
Now the practical question is personally
before every one of us. First: Do l gain

Having failed to renew the lease
of my present store or to secure
any other room, I will, after this
date, close out my stock of Cloths,
Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gentle

than actual cost of the unmanu-
factured material.
The goods must and will be sold
between this and July 5th, and if
the people of Wellington, town
and country, want such a benefit
as buying goods at wholesale and
less, they have only to call at my

than was ever known.
This is not bankrupt sale, but
the prices are as low. Cloths will

story is one of absorbing interest. 1t
graphically describes the social ambition
of an ignorant, selfish, vain, but beauti-
full girl; the stolid sense of her un-
happy lover, the carpenter; the typical
medium who filed his seedy pockets by his
spiritual seances" and by inhaming the
jealousy of the shiftless and unsuccessful

A Word to Young Wives.

A widowed woman in middle life was
once asked by a friend, il she should
ever marry AGAIN. NO." she replied in
all candor and with no traces of bitter
uess. 81 am too old to learn to live with
another man." She recognized the fact
that there were peculiarities ofcharactcr
and disposition in every one that re-
quired an especial education as one went
along to make life harmonious. Perfect
adaptability cannot be expected from
those who have been brought up in
widely differing homes and spheres
oftentimes.
Young ladies brought up on novels
make no account of this fact; hence
much of the disappointment, and perhaps
bitterness of spirit, which arises when
the fact dawns upon them. The beloved
is only common place mortal with
many failings, like her father, and broth
ers. and uncles, or even herself.
Take it for granted that there will be
Objectionable points of character or
manner; that they are a real trial, But
do not take il too much to heart. Above
all bury the facts in the secret depths of
your soul, rather than speak them to
others. Nothing spreads faster than the
whisper that young wife is distastefhl
with her husband. A Aprairie fire cannot
keep up with it. And trfies, light as air,
are magnified as they sweep along, until
Won could be astonished at the results

But woman of cheerful tact and loving
heart tends to educate young man into
almost any style she chooses.
You win need to learn the art of living
harmonieusly, with almost any character
sufficiently marked to be OF any force IN
the world. An energetic, efficient char
acter will have its angels. Learn to
dwell more on the good traits, than to be
always searching with a microscope for
the little failings.
