Democrats do Your Duty.

Democrats of Henry county, you
have an important duty to perform in
the coming campaign. Prepare your
selves for that duty, and do it well. Re
member each one of you has more or
less influence, and it is your duty to
leave nothing undone that will aid in
bringing victory to the party. Bear in
mind that the State of Ohio is the piv-
otal State, as the result in Ohio this fall
determines the fate of the Republican
party next year. 1t is true the Democ-
racy could loose Ohio and still elect the
President in 1884, but the defeat of the
Republicans in Ohio this fall means
certain disaster to them in the Presi-
dental contest in 1884. Their defeat
this year means their death. We con-
jure you to do your duty in the coming
contest. For the sake of honest gov
ernment, the prosperity and greatness
of our country, our institutions, and fol
the sake of personal liberty, fail not in
the faithful performance of your duty
in the approaching struggle, and victory
will be your reward.

BIG THING, SURE.
A City Alive to Memorable Occasion
and Determined to Reach I'm
precedented Results.

The arrangements for the coming
Oriole celebration in Baltimore are GER
tainly upon scale which must impress
even the most enthusiastic advocate
of big events. That the Monumental
City is looking up and has caught the
spirit of enterprise characteristic of the
West is beyound question. What she
does is no longer by halves, but believing
that which is worth doingat all is worth
doing well, now proposes to outdo even
New Orleans in carnivals, and in addi-
ton present attractions never before
dreamed of. If Louisville and Cincin-
natl have their great Expositions, st.
Louis her grand Fairs and Chicago her
Sangerfests, Baltimore has her summer
nights Carnival, and that, too, after a
fashion which all Europe could not ex-
Gel.
1t would not be a surprise if Baltimore
soon indulged in an Exposition herself,
and when she does it will be business,
and no mistake. Having demonstrated
her ability to surpass everything in the
mystic pageant line ever before at
tempted and educated her thorough-go-
ing, energetic business men in public
enterprises, the chances are that they
will naturally seek new channels for

The public debt statement issued
August LIST shows that there are now
idle in the treasury three hundred and
fifty-one millions, five hundred and
thirty-six thousand, three hundred and
forty-five dollars! Yet Notwithstanding
this enormous, amount of idle. funds,
taxation continues to draw money into
the treasury vaults. This money be-
longs to the people, and it should be
left in their possession for the transac-
tion of current business save as it may
be needed to pay the expenses and in
debtedness of the Government. The
policy which collects millions of dollars
from the people and piles it up to lie
idle in the treasury is wrong and should
be abolished. Congress should take
prompt and efficient steps in that di-
rection next winter.-Bee.

for her beauty. A young man in the

Barker repulsed him, telling him he
would murder the girl before he should
marry her. The young man pressed his
suit, when Barker picked up an ak and
struck his daughter on the head, split

sprang upon the Mortified youth, but
the latter escaped and aroused the
neighborhood. A crowd collected and
hung Barker from his own door post.

The action Of Woodland alias 'Jay-

corruption fund was put up job and
that the Cincinnati Enquirer was at the
bottom of it. 1t seems that it is not
hoped to beat Hoadly on fair issues or
in fair fight but by making his friends
betray him. Such dirty mode of war
fare will be reactive and Hoadly will
win through sympathy what he might

WHY THEY SHOULD VOTE FOR
HOADLY.
The Organ of the CoIored People
Gives Some Solid Reasons.

CINCINNATI, August 6.-The Afro-
american OF. this city, the organ of the
colored people, gives the following rea-
sons for supporting Hoadly:
In the first place, if the testimony of
the colored press Of the country is of any
value, there is on the part of the Re-
publican party, from one end of the
land to the other, a contemptuous dis
regard of the political rights of colored
men. The resolutions of the South
Carolina convention give forcible ex-
preston to these charges. All of these
complaints are accompanied with
threats of a dreadful something that is
going to be done in case they are not
needed. Now, experience teaches us
tnat a politician cares no more for pro-
tests than for the idle wind. If the
political situation does not please YOU,
protest with your ballot, and it will be
Observation-Disclosures not.
All this talk about independence in
politics Is ridiculous in men whose in
dependence ends in talk with vote.
The oft-quoted Germans know how
TO make their protests felt. They
pass from party to party in politics as
principle or interest dictates, and though
politicians may curse them in private,
they bow to them in public.
We believe that when colored men
protest against wrongs in this way, the
necessity for protesting will soon pass
away.
Leading Democrats in Ohio desire to
see the color line abolished in politics,
and are willing to do their part toward
its obliteration by according to the col
ored man in every civil and political
right that belongs to an American citi-
zen. We believe it to be a wise thing
on the part of the colored people to
meet this overture in a friendly way,
and if a colored man is in accord with
the Democratic party in its views to
tariff or temperance he should vote his
sentiments, thus showing himself capa-
BILE of knowing that it is twenty-five
years since the firing on Sumpter, and
that old issues growing out Of slavery
and the war are settled beyond recall,
and the new ISSUES will not only permit
but demand new political attitudes and
affiliations ON the part of the colored
people. When both parties become the
champions of the colored mans rights,
the political equality for which he seeks
will be gained.
