The agent, however begged the privilege

The request was not unreasonable 80 we
granted it-hut more to obigc the agent

Foraker.

We have slight personal acquain-
tance with Judge Foraker, the Repub-
ican candidate for Governor. His
wife, formerly Miss Julia Bundy, was
frequently at our house before her
marriage, and this, for one reason
was why we noticed what was said
about the man she married. Long
before Judge Foraker was nominated
for Governor, we were fully convin-
ced that he was a man Of excellent
character, and fair ability.
When Judge Foraker was nomin-
ated for Governor, we waited to see
what the Democratic papers would
say against him. Well the first
thing was, that he was not a great
man, and had no national reputation.
In answer to that, we will say that he
has done as much, and has as great a
name as MOST of the great men of the
present or past ages. Few men attain
greatness before they arrive at the
age Of forty years. Look at the life
Of Grant, or Sherman, or Chase, or
any other man who now has a great
national reputation, and see how they
compare when 81 years Of age, with
Judge Foraker.
What little Judge Foraker has
done for himself and for mankind,
has been exceedingly well done.

OrganiZei

Some time ago committee was ap-
pointed to organize the county by school
districts, to work in favor of the second
or prohibition amendment to the consti-
tuition. This committee appointed a
committee of three in each township,

mittees in each school district. Milton

HOadIy'S InAdeIity.

We promised to prove Judge Hoad-
ly's infdelity from his speeches in the
Constitutional Convention, but we
find what we desired to say, in the
Chillicothe Gazette, and we will pub
lish that next week. The volume and
page of the report is given, and any
one who desires to see, can find these
volumes in the Reading Room, in
Jackson.
In the summer of 1875, the writer
Of this was delegate to the Republi-
can State Convention at Columbus.
There had been great effort made to
get Judge Taft nominated for Cover
nor. Cincinnati was wild for Taft,
the special reason being that he had
decided, as Judge, that the Bible
should not be read in the Public
Schools of Cincinnati. This would
be especially gratifying to the Dutch
infdels and other foreign outlaws Of
Cincinnati. We found, in mixing
with the delegates from the country,
that Jackson county was not the
only place where there was de-
termined opposition to Judge
Taft. We met the Cincinnati dele
CATION at the Neil House, and asked
Gov. Noyes if he was aware Of the
opposition to Judge Taft, on account
of his decision against the Bible. He
said he was aware Of it, but the decis-
ion was in accordance with the law,
and was so decided by the Supreme
Court. We told him that was true;
but go into the country, where the
people had been taught from child
hood to revere the Bible, as the in
spired Word of God, and they would
tell you that Judge Taft had ruled
that Sacred Book to be unworthy,
and unfit to be read in the Public
Schools of Cincinnati. It would be
useless to attempt to argue legal
points with such people. Shortly
afterwards we heard Gov. Noyes ex-
citedly saying that he did not care
what the country people thought or
said; Judge Taft should be nominated,
by Cd. But he was not nominated
Hayes was nominated, and elected.
Judge Taft was much ADLER man
than Hayes; but he would have been
beaten thirty thousand.
Democratic reader, do you know
that Judge Hoadly was the leading
and principal attorney who procured
that decision, and got the Bible
kicked out Of the Public Schools of
Cincinnati? The Cincinnuti Com
me ercial, day or two after Hoadly's
nomination, boasted that Hoadly was
the principal attorney who succeeded
in kicking the Bible out Of the Gin
cinnati Schools. Do you want such
| a man for Governor?

A Safe GUide.

1t is sometimes well for man to pause in the
great whirl and rush of everyday life, and
glance back over the past; to review his life
thus far, and ascertain If it has been all that 1t
might have been-all that he could have de-
sired it to be, or that he could have made it.
Has he discharged his duty to his family? Has
he dealt hone silly, and above deceit or treach-
cry among his neighbors and friends? Has he
lived a life of honesty, sobriety, Christianity,
purity? If he can do this and feel satisfied
with the investigation, he is indeed a good
man in the community, and his life will leave
its impress upon the world, and his name will
be gorifed, long after he shall have departed
from it.
But, coupled with this, comes the necessity Of
an investigation of our present lives and sur
roundings. What is our duty now? What
shall be our line of conduct toward our fellow
men? What part shall we take in public af-
fairs, and how shall we discharge our duties as
citizens? In view of all the important respon-
sibilities resting upon us in view of the great
moral questions that are constantly presen ting
themselves for our consideration and our ac-
ton = in view of the duty we owe to ourselves,
our families and our neighbors, there is but one
safe line Of action. Let every man do, in all
things, strictly as his conscience dictates. That
conscience was planted within us as God's mon
itor to direct our every action, and God makes
no mistakes. If men take conscience as their
guide, there is little danger of their going

Int the providence of God the Shareholders
and their defenders were driven to knock their
own brains out against the wall of public opin-
ion, which had gradually closed around them
because of their wickedness. And the same
power which shaped and directed the destiny
Of the Shareholders is directing the destiny OF
the doggery keepers. Let any man announce
himself as temperance man, and the lazy,
sinking bloat who hangs around his hell-hole
and steals his living off of better men than than
himself, will threaten to "go back on him. in
"peesness." The doggery-keeper's business is
not valuable to anybody but himself, and every
man in any community would be better off if
every doggery-keeper in the universe were sud-
denly to drop out of existence. No respectable,
honest man need want any business relations
with these criminals.
At meeting of a cooperative society in this
tors. One member, a miserable bloat who
hangs around the doggeries of Jackson, indig-
nantly tore the names of two three of our
best citizens Off of his ticket, declaring that he
wanted "no demprensh men on dot dicxet"
That's right! Drag drunkenness into busi-
ness, as well as society; make it test of a
mans business qualifications, and social worth,
that he be drunken brute; let every drunken
loafer ostracise every decent man, and refuse
to recognize him as an equal. That is just what
the respectable portion of any community want
the doggery-keepers and their defenders to co.

OCCASIONAL CHANCES!
The doggery is school for perjury.

The doggery is school for perjury.
The friend of doggery must be saloonatic.
Why il it that almost every fight is to be
traced directly to some doggery?
The success of a doggery- keepers business de-
pends upon an unnatural and dangerous appe-
tile in men.
doggery-keeper is in favor of keeping an
"orderly house"-after the noisy mans money
is all gone.
When you look at the bloated, lazy liquor
dealer, just reflect that you are paying taxes to
support him in his crime.
The doggery-keeper is extremely anxious to
be regarded as "business man." So is the
"monte man." and the "sneak-thief."
al pay my taxes !" says the doggery-keeper.
Yes, but you do it with somebody else's money,
on property which you have no moral right to
possess.
How many crimes have been prosecuted in
the Jackson Courts within year, that We're
committed by men who did not drink intoxica-
ting liquors?
Everytime a doggery- keeper succeeds in kill
Ing drunkard who has family, he leaves
family for somebody else to keep. Does it
The doggery-keep is criminal-his den is a
curse. Yet the respectable portion of the COM
munity permit both, and foot the cost-bills OF
the Devilment wrought by them.
Every intelligent man will admit that dog
gerry is great curse to a community. Yet men
have been for years paying double taxes for the
blessed privilege of ofkeeping these curses in the
community.
John l.. Sullivan knocked Herbert Slade "out
of time" in three rounds, in New York, last
week. But you couldn't knock a doggery-
keeper out oftime in three weeks. He has toe
much time.
When you a boil upon the human face
you know that the blood is impure. When the
face of a town is disf1gured by doggery, you
may know that society is impure.
The essence of richness is hearing a doggery-
keeper spout about his "inherent rights" The
thief is enjoying his inherent rights when he
gets into house to steal.
A man may buy a quarters worth of whisky
get drunk, commit crime, and the taxpayers
will walk up and pay one thousand dollars fol
prosecuting him. They pay this for the priv.
nege OF keeping a lazy, worthless, criminal
doggery-keeper in their midst.
Take notice, that while many of the private
dwellings fall into decay, while men lose theil
property and fail in business, the criminal
doggery- y-keeper is constantly making improve.
