hummer grew rampant. George Cox,
well-known saloon man, was making
strong fight, and was evidently in
the lead. The Democrats were howl
ing and working for the nomination
of Cox, and the roughs were bowling
for him vociferously. The balloting
was conducted with the greatest diff
Guilty. Some of the delegations were
almost unmanageable. The boldest
rough would mount chair and call
out his delegation solid for Cox. In
stantly the chairs would all be filled
by scrambling, fighting, yelling and
infuriated mob striking and clawing
at the spokesman, denouncing him as
a liar and showering the vilest curses
on his head. The police had rea ly to
take possession of the hall, and proceed
from delegation to delegation and see
that the vote was proclaimed as it ex-
listed, and not to suit the chairman or
speaker thereof. This state of things
existed until the close of the conven-
tion, about eight o'clock in the eyen-
ing. Several small fights were in
dulged in, on the floor Of the hall, but
as the customary individual was not
shot or stabbed on the spot, these little
festivities were easily passed over. The
manner in which many Of the dele
gates and those going to make up the
convention consumed liquor yesterday,
ought to give assurance to the Ger
mans and those opposed to prohibition
that the freedom Of the liquor traffic
was not in immediate danger when in
the hands of these people.

THE editor of the Standard has his foot in again
clear over boot top. 1t has for sometime been re-
hashing the campaign lie about Judge Hoadly not
believing in the existence OF Supreme Ruler and
demanding to know how a christian could support
such man for Office. The Standard professed to be
Mortified at the idea of any christian voting for such
man. until called its attention to the fact
that one of the prominent candidates the Repub-
ticket of that county does not believe in the
existence of Savior-being full blooded Jew.
Since then the Standard has been silent the Su-
preme Being business.-Warerly WatehmaH.
The only trouble about the above
is, that there is not one word Of truth
in any part Of it. In the first place
we are not silent about Hoadly's in
fidelity. We have just been prepar-
ing to commence operations. Then
"some one" never called our attention
to the "fact" that Jew was a candi:
date on the Republican ticket. There
is no such "fact." The only time
when Jew ever ran for Office, ac-
cording to our recollection, was twice
that the Democrats ran B. Kahn for
Representative, and once for Auditor.
No Jew was ever on the Republican
ticket in this county. But suppose
the charge of the Watchman were
true, what then? Has the Watch
man no more sense than to think that
a Jew and an infdel are the same in
belief? We are pretty we'll acquaint-
ed with some half a dozen Jews who
have lived in this place, and we think
that their belief in a God is much
stronger than such belief in the
average Christian. The Jew has the
greatest reverence for the God Of the
Bible; the infdel has nothing for the
Deity but sneers.

Another Book.

Messrs. Johnson & Nestleroad called
at our office few days ago with book
for which they are acting as agents. 1t
is called Museum of Antiquity; a de-
scription of Ancient Life, the employ
ments, amusements, customs and habits,
the cities, palaces, monuments and tombs,
the literature and fine arts of 5000 years
ago." The mechanical execution of the
work is of the highest vrder. 1t contains
944 pages, is printed on large, clear, new
type, and is elegantly bound. 1t contains
a number of the finest steel engravings.
OF course we have not space to go into
the particulars of so extensive a work.
1t gives a condensed and accurate ac-
count of those things that occurred in
the East, in ancient times, which have
always been so exceedingly interesting
to scholars and others. A young man of
ordinary intelligence can gain as much
valuable information from this book in
three months study, as he could acquire
at college in whole year.
The agents will remain with us some
time, and our citizens will have an op-
portunity of seeing this book.

No Republican paper has yet ex-
planned in what manner the Scott law
''prevents the evils resulting from the
sale Of intoxicating liquors Why
won't they tell the people.-Wauerly
Watchman.
You know that we do not take
much stock in the Scott law, yet there
may be some redeeming features about
it. The people Of Jackson are going
to make test Of it's merits. For in
stance, it makes the punishment for
selling to minors or drunkards fine
and Imprisonment. Some Of the liq-
uor sellers are salted down for the
next Grand Jury, and they will have
the pleasure Of occupying the new
jail. Then there is provision some
thing about suppressing tippling
houses and beer hells. Our village
Council are going to see what there is
in this provision, by passing the nee
essary ordinance.
Wait and see.
