The Drunkard's ssTen Commandments -

Alcohol, the great head and chief of
all manner of vice-the source Of
nine-tenths of all diseases: and not
only believe but am sure tbatt when
my money is gone and spent, the
landlord will turn tie tap and turn
me out.
[ have ten commandments to keep
the same which the landlord and
landlady spake at the bar, saying, we
are thy master and mistress, who
brought thee out of the paths Of vir-
tue and placed thee in the ways of
vice, and set thy feet on the road
which leads to misery, starvation, and
eternal destruction:
1. Thou-shalt use no other
house but mine.
II. Thou-shalt not make to thy
self any substitute for intoxicating
drinks such as tea, coffee, ginger
pop, and lemonade: for | am jealous
man wearing the coat that should be
on thy back, eating thy children's S
bread, and pocketing the money that
should make thee and thy wife happy
all the days Of thy life,
III. Thou shalt not use my house
in vain.
". Remember that thou eat but
one meal on Sabbath. Six days
shalt thou drink and spend all thy
money, but the seventh day is the
Sabbath day wherein [ wash my
floors and mend my fires and make
ready for my company the remaining
part Of the week.
V. Thou shalt honor the land
lords, the landladies, and the gin
shop with thy presence, that thy
days may be few and miserable IN the
land wherein thou dwellest.
VI. Thou shalt commit murder,
by starving, hungering, and beating
thy wife and family.
VII. Thou shalt commit self-de-

[For the Standard.1
The Question.
BY REV. w. HOLLINSHEAD

The question which is agitating the minds of
statesmen and reormers alike is, what can be done
to crush out this evil of intemperance. A good cr
terion standard to be governed by is the one
which been held before the public by the jackson
Standard-the standard bearer of this county 1have
been pleased notice the bold stand taken and held
by the editors of this this question of the
day. And indeed should not have been surprised If
the dynimite faction of the whisky party had tried
to them and theirs into enternity, and perhaps
the stout of the raw is the only terror to these
evil doers.
But to the question: what is my duty? 1t certainly
must be to abolition of the rum traffic. Your
duty to your God, your country and your pOsterity
require this. L do not include in this any obligation
to vote the Prohibition ticket, for a reformer
certainly behold a zeal not according to knowledge
manifested in the nomination of third ticket. We,
as reformers need all the Republican and Demo-
cratic votes get in favor of the I'd proposition
We should be friends to all who would be friendly
with that one question:; but are asking more
than we are willing to give when ask them to
stand by on the amendment and refuse to
stand by them in their nomination. 1 am not advo-
eating barter and sale program-but do insist
upon 1t that when the party which has given all
the good laws have this subject in the face of
defeat keep their pledge and give the privilege
vote on this question, we should know our friends
when we them, and not deal with them as enc
mics. The lines are too closely drawn between the
whisky party and the other for us to be deceived,
Fanaticism always blind bat, 1t beats the air,
fights imaginary foes before them, and are wounded
by their real enemies behind.
lam not writing this as political buncomb or bonn
bast. know the party to which twelve out of the
fourteen thousand saloonists belong; 1 know the
ticket which will voted for by the boy who up
the ten pinsto the great mogul who drives his span
of horses in gold mounted harness the price of
hundreds of comfortable homes, lives and perhaps
souls.
The Stubbs Bill, Smith amendment, adulterating
liquor bill, McConnellsvlle bill, the minor liquor
BILL the Pond, and at last the Scott BILL well as
the privilege to vote on the amendment, have had
arrayed against the influence money and votes OF
one party. The party witch has, in defiance OF
these enemies to decency and good government,
given us these good laws is party of progress and

HOadIx'S Creed,

The AdUertiser is very loud in its
demands that we retract our charges
concerning Judge Hoadly's faith, or
want of faith. 1t does not even ac-
cord us to the alternative customary
in all such situations, the world over
to retract or proUe. AS We don't
care to'retract at our e. c.'s ipse dirit,
we shall proceed to prove. We had
merely given the story as stated by
the Democrats of the Ward faction !;
and were therefore not absolutely GER
tain of its truth; now, however, we
have the official documents before us,
and the charge Of infdelity is power
fully supported. A full report of the
interesting proceedings may be found
in the Debates Of the Third Ohio Con-
stitutional Convention of 1874;
Vol. 2, part2, pages 1742 to 1853. Mr..
Hoadly's principal speech is to be
found on p. 175O-51, having been
made March 4th, 1874.
On that day, VIM. G.. Waddle, of
Harrison, offered the following sub
stitute, for the then preamble to the
Constitutions:
''we, the people of the State of Ohio, grateful to
invoking His blessing for the future, do establish this

In his remarks Mr.. Waddle showed
that the Preamble already acknowl-
edged gratitude to God for past bless
ings. The object of this substitute
was to express a desire for the con-
tinuance of His favor Thirty-one
States of the Union already recognized
God in their Constitutions; and the
speaker wished to see Ohio among the
foremost.
Mr.. Samuel w. Clark of Jefferson,
spoke strongly in favor Of the amend
ment.
Mr.. T. E. Cunningham, of Allen,
said, II should not like this body to
say that they do not desire to express
any further reliance upon the AL
mighty. It the substitute is some
thing that Jew and Gentle may well
endorse, and, indeed, everybody in the
world, except Pagan"

nent Democratic politician of Cuya.

[Springfield Globe.1
The Fall Campaign.

A study Of the speeches thus far
made confirm us in our previously ex-
pressed opinion that there is likely to
be paucity Of material for speeches
during the coming campaign. 1t is
probable that the average political
speech will be but a variation on
themes already treated; and on some
of these, even, there is really no issue
between the parties.
As before suggested, what the peo-
pie now want is short speeches and
plenty of music. Let eminent speak
ers be sent out in pairs, and let them
take it for granted that the people
read the newspapers and really need
to be enthused rather than instructed.
As Don Piatt says of newspapers, so
we might say Of political speeches at
this time-too much learning makes
the people mad.
The Scott law is all right. Every
body is satisfied with it-but Judge
Hoadly and a few corner groceries.
Let's give it rest, by mutual con-
sent. In order to give zest to the
campaign let US have some stirring
joint debates. Although two great
parties are striving for the mastery of
the State, and the candidates and
newspapers Of each are beginning to
fire some hot shot at each other
which will probably get hotter yet be-
fore the campaign is overall this
wrath is like beauty, it is only skin
deep.
When Foraker and Hoadly can
walk arm in arm at soldiers reun-
ion, and when the Democratic guber-
material candidate and one end of the
Commercial Gazette can loll around
Oh the same picnic sward at Yellow
Springs together in fraternal laziness,
there is no grave danger menacing
the precious liberties of the country
just yet, be assured.
As already announced, Sunset Cox
is coming to Springfield during the
fall campaign to renew his old-time
friendships. He will tell US some
funny stories and show us why we
laugh" Let everybody come to hear
Cox. He is the favorite campaigner
of the farmer class, and he can make
a man relish a joke on himself as no
other speaker can. No dry statistical
politics about Cox, but fireworks from
the word ''go."
And then Foraker is coming to
give US one Of those clear-cut speech
es that are booming Foraker stock
every time he makes one. It is un-
derstood that the Republican candi-
date proposes to illustrate in this cam
paign that man may be politician
and yet preserve his self-respect. He
proposes to say what he thinks, so
that, elected or defeated, he will en-
Joy the consciousness that he has
truckled to no ephemeral fallacy, and
has not squandered his self-respect to
attain temporary advantage. Every
body will want to hear Foraker.
Immense forensic and oratorical
talent will gate in Ohio during
this autumn, and it cannot but fatter
our pride as Ohioans, irrespective of
party, that we are deemed important
enough to be thus appealed to by
such a galaxy of political celebrities.
Ohio is coming to be regarded as the
grand jury-box Of the Nation. We
therefore depend upon these eminent
p!eaders to see to it that no juryman
is allowed to go to sleep. Again we
say, short speeches and plenty of mu-
sic is what the people want.

WaShanl.

w. T. Washam, who was nomi-
mated for State Senator, resides two
miles from Jackson, on what is
known as the Jackson Furnace road,
near Mt. Zion Church.
Mr.. Washam is pleasant gentle
man, and a good neighbor. When he
was engaged in the clothing business
in Jackson we did large amount Of
advertising and job work for him,
and he always paid US honestly and
promptly, and our business and per-
sonal relations with him have always
always been pleasant and satisfactory.
The Portsmouth Times of last Sat
urday week said:
OUR CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR.
w. T. Washam of jackson county, who was nomi-
mated for Senator by the Democracy of the 7th dis
trct last Wednesday, comes of Virginia stock, and
has been resident of Jackson county for the past S
years. during which time he has been closely identi-
fed with the agri icultura, manufacturing and COM
mercial interests of that county.
He was a member of the State Board of Equaliza-
tion in 1870 and the only member reelected in $780,
His services the Beard of a character to
tablish his executive ability, practical common
sense, and thorough capablity for the responsible
position to which he twice elected. Politically
he has been an answering Democrat, and his popu-
larity has been abundaDtly proven by the two sue
cessful races he made in 1870 and 1880.
In the race of 1880, he 200 votes ahead of his
county, and carried the district by SO majority
We cite this to show how he stands at home. He
into the convention with the solid vote of his
county behind him, and was not nominated by prox-
les Gregg.
True, Mr. Washam ran away ahead
of his ticket for State Board of
Equalization, because that Office had
no political significance; but he can
not run ahead for political Office.
On the 18th of October, 1869, DR..
William S. Williams and B. Kahn
were candidates for Representative
in Jackson county, and Williams beat
Kahn only 35. DR.. Williams died in
Feb, 1871, and there Was special
election on the 23d Of March, 1871.
W. T. Washam and T. L. Hughes
were the candidates, and Hughes had
All majority. This does not look
like Mr.. Washam can run much
ahead of his party, when the office
has any politics in it.
The Times says: POLITICALLY he has
been an answering Democrat.
We scarcely know what is meant
by AN answering Democrat" since
the party has been having such can
didates as Ben. Butler, Horace Gree
ley, George Hoadly, etc. We do
know that Mr.. Washam not only did
not vote for "President" Tilden, but
he worked against that martyr. We
will have more to say of this hereaf-
ter, and will now only use the follow
ing:
A BOLT AT JACKSON, OHIO.

fall, will punish the party to the tune of two
millions of dollars.
Let us contend for prohibition, if we must fall back
on restriction and regulaton and remember that we
cannot afford to join enemies in fighting measures
which they and we know hold them in check. If we
cannot kill the dog let chain him, and am satfs-
ned will stand better chance to kill him than If
we let him run loose, doing his devflish work of
destruction. Don't unchristianize man because he
does not agree with you in anything. If he will re-
rict or regulate he friend; If he will prohibit he
is better one if he win neither, he is enemy of
yours, of his country, and of his God And all the
world will be more benefited when his miserable
body is enriching the soil than with his breath
of poison scattering death in our midst.
