Democratic Convention.
DohIVCIutIU OUHFtIItIUH'
The Democrats held their coun

The Democrats held their county
convention last Saturday.
When the temporary organization
was effected there were just fourteen
inside the bar. Mr.. Olendorf seized
the party by the tail, gave it vigor-
Gus shake and nominated James K.
Polk McClung for temporary chair
man. Mr.. M. looks good deal like
an elongated pair of tongs. He
Strengthened himself up, smiled con-
descendingly upon the masses-14-
congregated there, and spake as fol-
lows, to-wit:
Il am glad to see so many sinners
around that meant Democrats [ am
also glad ato see few saints present,
that meant Republicans, so that our
salvation will be safe" :"
We do not believe there is shadow
of doubt but that ticket will be ''safe-
ly saved on the second Tuesday of
October.
Charles C. McKinniss was chosen
Secretary.
The committees were appointed,
and the convention adjourned until
one o'clock P. M.
When we got to the Court House
after dinner Esq. McClung had been
chosen permanent chairman, and was
delivering his inaugural address,
which we notice in another place.
Nominations being in order, VIM.
III. Hull, John G. Stevenson and a
man named Potter, were announced
for Representative Stevenson with
drew, and ballot was taken. Result,
Hull 80, Potter 81. Chairman
McClung told the delegates to prepare
their ballots for another vote. G..
David and others, were surprised.
They supposed that Hull had been
nominated, but McClung said that
the rules declared that after the second
ballot, the candidate receiving the
lowest number of votes shall be drop
ped. We suppose he would have
compelled the convention to take a
second ballot, then drop Potter, and
vote third time for Hull; but Sam
Swift withdrew Potter, and Hull was
nominated by acclamation. This
strange ruling by McClung caused a
great laugh among the Republicans
and the more jolly Democrats; but
the sober old Democrats who meant
business, were indignant.
James L. Erwin for Auditor, George
]. Reineger for Treasurer, John Buck
ley for Commissioner, and some one
by the name of Rittenhos, or Ritten-
house. or something, for Infirmary
Director, were nominated. There was
no ballot except for Treasurer. Rob-
ert Henderson was the other candidate.
He received s votes, and Reineger
6S.
We will speak Of these candidates
hereafter.

Zoo-zoo is the novel and striking name of a new
plug chewing tobacco being advertised in our
columns. The manufacturers, The Wilson & Nc
Galaxy Tobacco Co., of Middletown, Ohio are WELL
known as one of the most reliable and extensive
bacco manufacturers in the country, and they claim
that this is the finest pound chewing tobacco
put on the market. They have also hit upon the
novel idea of offering prizes to consumers who will
the tags, and return to them between December
18th and 25th In addition to cash prizes aggregang
over five hundred dollars, they propose to give away
one novelty pocket Knives and five thousand
pounds of tobacco. This makes several thousand
prizes for tobacco chewers and have doubt the
tobacco viii be extensively used on account of its
quality and chewing value, while by simply saving
the tags and forwarding them at the proper time
the manufacturers each consumer will have oppor-
tunity of securing valuable reward. This is unlike
lottery scheme in that the purchaser full
value for his investment, and the rewards given
to induce the consumer to save and return the tag
which is placed on each chew. Zoo-Zoo is put the
market on its merit, and is well worth trial by all
tobacco cheWers.

IT gives us pleasure to call the attention OF
readers to the series of of the James
Boss Gold Watch Cases now appearing in our COL
umns. This watch case has attained reputation
whicn is second to none, 1t now being universally
conceded to be the standard. The James Boss Gold
Watch Cases made of two plates of solid fourteen
karat gold, soldered on each side of plate of hard
nickel composition metal. These plates Of gold
thick enough to admit of engraving, chasing etc,
and supply all the gold needed for practical se while
the composition plate furnishes the strength and
solidity needed in watch case, and lacking
In those made of solid gold. Although these
are as good and in some points better than a solid
gold case, the cost is only about one-half much
Many of the James Boss Gold Cases have been In
constant use for twenty-five years without wearing
through the gold. The manufacturers furnish .
guarantee with each warranting it to wear
twenty years. and this guarantee means just what it
for unlike other guarantees furnished often
with watch cases. this is signed by the manufacturers
of the James Boss Gold Watch Cases. Purchasers
should avoid any watch unless the guarantee is
signed, as otherwise 1t is not only worthless but 10
intended SO to be- and the absence of reliable sigma
ture is fair indication that the manufacturer lacks
faith in his claims in his goods.
THE North american ReUiep for August opens with
very spirited discussion of the subject of Moral
Instruction in the Public Schools" by the Rev. DR..
X. Heber Newton, who offers practical scheme for
conveying ethical instruction without reference to
religious tenents, and the Rev. Dr. Francis L. Patton,
who maintains that the Bible be made the basis
OF all moral teaching. Henry ID. Lloyd exposes the
tricks and frauds of speculation in grain, which
operate to make bread DEAR and maintains that they
should be repressed by law. being agrantly in op
position to public policy. "Woman in Politics." by
exSurgeon-G GeneraI WIN. A. Hammond, is a caustic ;
discussion of certain facts of organization
which in his opinion render the female untitled
for participation in public affairs. Hon. Francis A.
Walker reviews Henry Georges Social Fallacies,"
eriticising in particular his doctrines regarding
land-tenure and rent. The evils resulting from
Crude Methods of Legislation" both national and
State, and pointed out by Simon Sterne, who advo-
Gates the adoption of certain rules of legislative pro-
cedure which, in English practice, have been found
to eectual barrier, both against lobbying
and against the mischiefs of ilconsdered law-mak-

THE Ironton Register is in favor of
the Scott Law, because it brings in a
revenue, and because it has reduced
the number of doggeries by 50; but
we Judge that the 73 remaining do
about as much devilment as was done
before the reduction, as the Register
tells about drunken row in which
one man was killed, and another may
die; and the following also appears
it the last number of the Register:
THE drunks in town last Sunday
show how wide open the saloons are
kept on that day.

OCCASIONAL CHANCES !

! The products of the grog-shop-rum and rags.
The doggery is the gateway to the Peniten-
tiary and the gallows.
A spider sets his snare, then hides behind a
screen and awaits his victim. So does the
| doggery- keeper. Both are poisonous.
The only thing which approaches the rounded
| beauty of a doggery-keeper, is q deed cat. And
the stencil is about the same in each case.
1t looks appropriate to see policeman stand
ing in front of a doggery. Without the one
thele would be no need of the other.
When the doggery- keeper drives along the
street in his carriage, let the drinking man In
quire who paid for that carriage.
Why does the doggery keeper hide his busi-
ness behind a screen? On the same principle
that horse-thief steals in the night time.
Luke Jones and Bill Jones have been convict
ed~of MURDER because they killed man. How
a business of killing men and destroying fam
lilies.
Jackson has two doggery-keepers who pray
in public. Here is a passage of Scripture we
commend to their prayerful consideration: "He
that diggeth pit shall fall into II; and whose
breaketh hedge a serpent shall bite him.
Also, this: "When he shall be judged, let him
be condemned; and let his prayer become SIM"
When the old maxim "Give the Devil his
Due'' shall have been literally carried out, what
an immense congregation of doggery-keepers
there will be at the Old Boys Headquarters!
The only man who will drug a fellow man,
rob him of all his money by selling him poison
Gus drugs, then kick him out because he has no
more money, is the doggery-keeper.
Teere are two scavengers that live upon the
death of their fellow-creatures-the doggery-
keeper and the buzzard.
Compared with the doggery-keeper, the rattle
snake is Christian gentleman. For the rattle
snake will give warning to its victim before de-
stroying him, and the doggery-keeper will not.
When man of family is hanging around
doggery all evening, spending money, the keep
of the den knows he is stealing that money
from the mans family. But he must make
living without work, and what cares he for a
victims hungry children?

MUST preachers remain out Of poll
tics? Let us see. Preachers are sup
posed to preach the gospel Of Christ,
who cast aside the joys and glories of
Heaven, to become a man of sorrows,
and suffer ignominious death, for the
great principle of the salvation of the
human race. Would not such an ex-
ample be a safe one for all politicians
Would it not be much better for the
world if there was more genuine re-
ligion worked into politics! We believe
that little more Goodness, and a
good deal less whisky, would not be
