Random Thoughts.
BY d. MACKLEY,

Some weeks ago copied what |
said about Judge Trip five years ago,
and remarked that | had nothing to
take back Now | copy some Random
Thoughts written eighteen years ago,
and will say that Judge Trips con-
duct in all these eighteen years, since
it was written, has only confirmed the
opinion of him which | then express
ed. He had just been nominated for
the Legislature, and in speaking of it,
said, in the Standard of August 81,
1865:
| advocate the election of Mr.
Tripp, not altogether because he is the
nominee Of the Union party, but
mainly because | know him to be a
man who is true to his country, and
who has the ability and honesty to
carry out what he believes to be right.
Because, from long and intimate
business relation with him, | know
him to be an honest, truthful, indus
trious, and honorable man. He will
descend to no trickery, or littleness,
for any consideration.
have sometimes thought that Mr..
Tripp blames me because he did not
get to perform a more conspicuous
part in putting down the rebellion.
Soon after the war commenced, Mr..
Tripp and | were carrying on the
Standard in partnership. He came
into the Office and urged me to take
his half of the paper, as he desired to
arrange his business and go into the
army. He said he felt it his duty to
60. His brothers were in the army,
and he desired to be with them. |

he was needed here. At that time,
and shortly after that, there was a Sc
cret hand Of sworn traitors in this
place, who had taken an oath to kill
several prominent Union men, among
the rest. Mr. Tripp and myself. l had
personal friends in that party who in-
formed me of their plans, and fur
nished me convincing proof that they
did not lie. Most Of the leading
Union men had gone into the army.

carry on the paper. and | was in poor
health. So urged Mr.. Trip to stay
with me, and help fight these cursed
traitors at home, and stand up for the
soldiers in the field. He did so, and |
believe he did right, By our paper, as
members of the Military Committee,
through the Christian Commission,
and by our means and what influence
we could co mand, we labored for the

Lost, StraYed. or Something.

It will be remembered that in the
fore part of the summer very feeble
raid was made upon the circulation of
the Standard at Oak Hill. We lost
about five subscribers there. As an
evidence of the kind Of men they
were, we give an exact copy Of a
postal card received from one of
them:

This card, it will be seen, was dated
at Jackson, but we supposed the
writer had his domicile at Oak Hill,
and we have sent the bill, and written
three times, but, so far have not heard
a word from our young friend, nor
has he sent the amount he owes US.
Now we are seriously y alarmed
about our former subscriber, and we
will pay one cent reward, (but no
thanks to any one who can give in
formation as to his whereabouts.

WE find the following in the Iron
ton Register:
At the last meeting Of the Ohio
Baptist Association, held at South
Point, Aug. Is, the following resolu-
tion, advocating the support of the
Second proposed Amendment to the
Constitution. was adopted:
ResolUed. That as our sympathies
are with the Temperance cause, we
earnestly recommend its promotion in
all the churches; and that we recon-
mend the adoption of the Second
Amendment to the Constitution OF
the State of Ohio.
We have always felt an interest in
the Ohio Baptist Association. 1t was
organized in the year 1919, and the
father of the Sen. editor Of the STAN
dard was one of the delegates to the
convention that organized the Asso-
citation. The convention was held,
we think, in Lawrence county, per-
haps at Storms Creek Church. This
Association met with Union Church,
where Oak Hill is now located, in the
years 1924, and 1880 Among the
preachers were Levi Mcdaniel, John
Kelly, John Lee, VIM. Fuson, John
Young, William George, and others.

The Jackson Standard says that
the Democrats have nominated man
named Eylar, from over in Pike coun-
ty, for Common Pleas Judge. The
Standard is correct about the name,
and might have added that he will
give Judge Tripp.a close race at the
polls.-The Democrats are not the
bit discouraged over the situation
Waaerly Watchman. se.. >
We do not know any thing against
Mr.. Eylar We have been told that
he has been practicing law only four
years. If that be true, he lacks ex-
perience. We have also been told
that he was born and raised in Adams
county, and that he was candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney in that county
before he went t" Pike, and that he
was beaten about 600. Now if that
be true, there smust be something
wrong about the young man. How
is this any how, Bro Jones? Judge
Tripp has been.a candidate in Jack
son county six times, and he was cleo
ted every time, and he never ran be-
hind his party ticket. How is this
for popularity where he is best
known? '-'-

The Cincinnati Commercial is in
error. 1t says Hoadly is the only
candidate for Governor who has been
overcome by malaria.
Some years ago a Democratic can
didate for Governor made speech at
this place. There was something bad
the matter with him. Wicked Re
publicans said he was drunk. He
acted exactly like drunk man. He
was hauled off the track, and his Jack
son speech was his last speech during
that campaign
I He was not elected. Neither will

DIR. W. w. FIERCE is the Demo
cratic candidate for Representative in
Vinton county. The Macarthur En-
quirer, speaking of him, says:
He has been a resident Of Vinton
county all his life, and IS identified
with her agricultural and other inter
ests.
We thought that Berlin. in Milton
township, Jackson county, was not in
Vinton county; but we must be mista-
ken. DIR. Fierce lived IN Berlin quite
a considerable space of time.
The Enquirer further says:
The DR.. has always been sound
Democrat; is man of excellent sense
and judgment.
Then he must be a great scoundrel,
for he acted with the Republican par
ty when he lived in this county, and
was a delegate to the Republican
county convention, from Milton town
ship. You will have to Try again,
Bowen.

Is Foraker q Fool 2

Well no-that is, mot generally.
Some ten days ago he made speech,
which was published in supplement
which was sent out in the Standard
last week. In the speech he said, in
substance, that the propositions to
amend the constitution are not politl-
cal questions, and he did not propose
TO discuss them, or to vote for them.
The whisky portion of.the Democrats
had not sense enough to know that
this remark made by Judge Foraker
would give the prohibitory amend
ment twenty thousand Democratic
votes. The great effort Of Demo-
cratic demagogues has been to make
honest, prohibition Democrats be-
lieve that the. great uprising of the
people Of both parties. to crush out
the liquor curse, is a Republican
scheme to aid, in some way, the Re
publican party. But now that is all
knocked in the head. There it not a
particle of difference between the
party platforms. One is for tax, and
the other for license They both say:
The sale of liquor results in evil;
you cannot sell liquor; but if you
will be restrained so as not to sell to
drunkards or minors, and will pay a
sum Of money, more or less, the
amount to be fixed by the Legisla-
ture,, then you may sell. 1t is pre-
eisely the. same thing, call it tax, Ii
cense, or regulation.
The candidates for Governor are
exactly alike on this question. Sup
pose Foraker had said that he would
support and vote for the second prop
osition.~ Then the Democrats might
truly say, "we told you so; this prohi-
bition amendment is Republican
measure-supported by the Republi-
can candidate for Governor. 1t is not
Democratic measure. because our
enthusiastically, is opposed to it. ="
Now Judge Foraker has shut their
months. He, as wellc-as Hoadly, will
vote against it, and there is no excuse
in the world for any temperance man,
of either party, to vote against it.
Both party platforms, and both party
candidates, are opposed to it. That
leaves all men free from party obliga-
tions on this question.

Surprise Party.

ORKVILLE, u, Sept 8, 1888.
To the Editors of the Standard:
Thursday, Sept. the 9th, being the 51st
birthday Of Laura j. Wills, the relatives
and neighbors concluded to give her a
surprise. Learning that she would be
away that day ON business, they made
arrangements and prepared well-filled
baskets of choice cakes, and other eata-
hles, took charge of her home, her daugh-
ter Sarah assisting, set tables, and had
everything in order before she should
arrive. AT 12: 20 she greeted us with
her smiling presence, and all she had to
do was to sit down to table and make
the best of it, which was good enough
for anybody. After dinner was served a
good time was had in general, about 60
taking part in the jollifcation, which
lasted until quite late in the evening.
Mrs. Wills very kindly thanked the par
ties for the surprise, and the many pres
ents she received,

THE OLD BAcK-LoG IS BURNING STILL.

On the old battered hearth-stone, the shadows are
dark,
And deadened at times TO a faint, cleaning spark;
But when Loves gentle breathing touch the dim
COAL
With new life and beauty thes bright flame Will roll
Around the old chimney the crickets stiH sing,
And the fondest of owes sacred memories cling;
Oft-times when with sadness the moments would
fill,
The blaze from the backlog will cheer the heart
still.
The years are fast-fying-the turbulent world
Swift on life's eddying river is whirled
The light of the morn but illumines the way
Where we march through the shadows that Danish
the day
Time flies. with its changes-the forests must die,
And man fade away in the ages that fly;
But the home that is governed by Gods holy
Ere keeps the old backlog bright glimmering
still.
Far through the dim shadows the moments come
back,
And we travel again over lifes beaten track;s
The bright scenes of childhood befor- unfold,
On the shadows of age, like a halo of gold;
The old gaping Fireplace an air castle seems,
And we fill it again with our juvenile schemes
Oh, the Joys of our childhood, age never can
kill,
For the old-fashioned backlog is bright blazing
still.
Though wealth may erect its fine palace and hall
Age crumbles the granite-the structure will fall;
But the palace of Love, firm built in each heart,
Laughs at time and outshines all the beauties OF
art;
Age cannot deface the bright sand polished floor
That holds firm place in our hearts evermore-
For the memories of home fondSst fancies instill,
And with light from The backlog our loving hearts
fill. ga
The voices of turtle-doves, plighting their vows.
The bell, which announces the home coming cows,
The lambs gentle bleating-the call of the hen
All these home-like noises come to us again:
The laughter of children, the lullaby song,
Back through the past moments come floating along
All is sunlight and beauty-no vision of i'll,
For the blaze from the ack-og lights up the heart
still.
The old logs crumbling slowly away,
AS Time breathes upon them the breath of decay;
The walks grass covered, the fences down,
The fields aud the bushes look lonely and brown;
The laughter of children, that heart-pleasng sound
Lies silent and dead in that grass-cOvered mound;
But amid all this sadness, we bow to His will
Who keeps the old backlog bright glimmerinp
still.
Though lives be beset by trial and care,
And the heart often sink in the wave of despair,
Like the flame of the backlog which CLEANED in the
past, !
The light of Gods love on our pathway, is cast;
And sweetly it leads along the dark way,
Onward, and upward, to Infinite Day
And all through the ages, each bright spot viii
fill
With the light which the backlog is sending
forth still. 80

The only objection we ever heard
urged against the prohibition Of the
liquor traffic was that the stopping
Of distilleries would lower the price
of grain. Why, bless you, dear
friends, the four-legged hogs will not
quit eating corn, just because the two
legged hogs quit swilling whisky;
and the result would be we would
pay less taxes, and raise more hogs,
horses and cattle, and less drunkards
Would that be public calamity?

Fools for thrist's Sake.

Some years ago R. G.. Ingersoll
made speech at this place, and DR..
A. B. Monahan and ourself met him
at Hamden. Coming down on the
cars, we remarked to him that the
Democrats had become quite religious
since he, Ingersoll, an inidel, had
been making Republican sp eches.
Yes" said he, II have made them
prove the truth Of: one passage Of
scripture; they have become fools for
Christ's sake" - 4
Now they are at it again. In the
off corners of the county they are
slyly telling that Mark Sternberger is
Jew. In the first place it is lie.
And then, when did they find out
that Jews are not fit for office? G..
David is Jew, and he has been the
best worker the party ever had. b.
Kahn is Jew, and the party, with
the aid Of few Republicans, elected
him to the important offices of Coun-
ty Auditor, and Representative in the
Legislature. Did the county ever
have these offices filled with better
or more honest and competent man?
During the past four thousand years,
has the world produced a more sue
cessful race, for any kind of business,
than the Jews?
It is no use for Democrats to make
bigger fools of themselves than ma
ture made of them, either for Christ's
sake, the devils sake, or to secure
petty Office.

Some of our Democratic friends
were almost thrown into fit Of hys-
terics over the statement by Judge
Foraker that he would vote against
both amendments. The only differ
ence between the positions of the two
candidates, so far as we can see, is
this: Judge Foraker says they are
not political questions, and he leaves
them for the people to settle outside
of party politics. Hoadly says he
does not want the vote Of any man
who will vote even to tax the liquor
traffic.
