PROSPECTUS
CT THE
EVENINGCAPITAL

the course THE EVENING CAPT
tai proposes to pursue
/. 1t is to be a paper indepen-
dent in politics-more interested
in the welfare of the whole peo-
pie, than of any mere party,
fragment or faction-and devo-
ted to the interests of the State,
County and City.
9. 1t is to be a "FAMILY PA
PER" mot in the sense of the
mere phrase of the day-but a
paper replete with instruction,
without tediousness; amusement
without frivolity; and reliable
news, not mere rumor or gossip.
We propose to make it, In
reality, newspaper.
3. An epitome of all the i'm
pOrtdq1t events that occur in the
State, County, and in our midst
will find an appropriate place,
and find it speedily. We will,
in fine try to give panoramic
view of what is going on in other
parts of the country around us.
q. It's editorials will be short,
concise and to the point. They
will strike at abuses wherever
they exist--in National, State.
County or Municipal affairs.
We will endeavor'to show to the
I'll s
people of the State how they
have been governed or misgov-
erned in the past and how they
can right the wrongs in the
future.
S, We will avoid at all times
mere personalities, but in mott
cling abuses, we shall not hesitate
to point out the sources from
whence they come-directly or
Indirectly.
6. We invite and welcome to
our columns the views of others,
however they may differ from
our own-satisfied that the truth
will come out of the freest and
fullest discussion. As our space
will be necessarily limited, we
will be concise ourselves, and
beg our correspondents to be the
same.
7. We will offer every possible
inducement to advertisers but
no one can pay us for inserting
anything ofan improper charac-
ter. We shall issue a large
number of the first edition of
the paper, which we shall dis
tribute in every part of the State
and County, for the benefit of our
advertisers, and with the view
of making ourselves known to
the public. In fine, we will try
to do business on business prin-
ciples.
8. The press, in our judgment,
should be, in fact, a reliable

A GFNEROUS DOSEf

John Garrett was one of the soldiers
who went on the Gallipolis expedition, at
the time the rebel Gen. Jenkins threaten
ed that wicked town with destruction,
and gives many "reminiscences of the per-
lis and annoyances of the great expedition
The brigade started from Jackson in wa
gons, some of the wagons being overload
ed as to numbers. One wagon, belonging
to Mr.. Rippeth was crowded full, and
John Jackson was sitting in the "boot''
at the rear end, carrying a squirrel rifle.
At certain point on the route the teams
began trying to pass one another, and
quite an amount of racing was INDUCED
in. Mr.. Rippeth gave rein to his team,
and they went down hill at rattling
pace, crossing a ditch, or drain, at the
foot, causing a tremendous jar, which
threw Jackson out, and broke the stock
Of his rifle. This made Jackson very
mad, and as all were tired and disgusted,
everybody seemed to get angry. A jar
ring and spatting were kept up until they
stopped forSupper, when several of them
seemed to get more angry than ever, and
they could not tell what it was all about
Finally the late Wilson Hanna drew
revolver, and declared he would shoot
Rippeth, whether or no. Bloodshed was
happily avoided and the brave troops
marched on-Or rather rode on. And it
would have Jared lily with the daring

Democratic Conventions.

The Democrats held a convention
in Portsmouth last Thursday and
nominated Judge Courtright of Cir
cleville, Judge Stafford Of Chillicothe,
and Judge Steele of Hillsborough, for
Circuit Judges.
They held Congressional conven-
ton there the same day, and nomi-
mated Leo Ebert of Ironton, for Con-
gress. We will speak of Mr.. Ebert
hereafter.
There were several speeches made
There was Gov. Hoadly and reform
Leo Ebert and reform, ]. L. Vance
and-reform, Irvine DUNCAN and
reform. Hoadly, Ebert and DUNCAN
were, or pretended to be, Republicans
few years ago. Hurrah for, Cleve-
land, Beecher, Vance, DUNCAN and
reform!

MIR. Blaine Has No Interests in the Hook
ing Valley.

We find the following in the Gin
cinnati Commercial of last Sunday:
The Democrats have been busy cir
culating rumors to the effect that Mr.
Blaine is an owner in the coal COM
panies Of the Hooking Valley, where
the strikes are in progress. Hon. FL
S. Bundy acquainted Mr.. Blaine with
these rumors, and received the follow
ing reply, which effectually disposes
of all the charges:

cent favor l beg to say that am not

This news will GLADDEN.. the hearts

There is no organization on earth
which stands so much in need Of Di-
vine Grace as the Democratic party,
and the fact that they have gotten
somebody into the party who knows
how to pray, is in the nature of good
news. When the Democrats discover
a preacher in their party, they want
to stuff him and put him in glass
case, as one Of the modern wonders.

Hon. John P. st. John of Kansas,
was nominated at Pittsburgh as the
Prohibition candidate for President.
Mr.. Daniel of Maryland was
nominated for Vice President.
The convention, like ''Prohibition"
conventions generally, made especial
effort in. denouncing Blaine, Logan,
and the Republican party. The Pro-
hibition. party seems inclined to afix
itself as a chestnut-burr under the
tail of the old and spawned Demo-
cratic steed, in the vain hope Of spur
ring him on and riding with him to
victory. It will find that it is engag-
ed in very unsavory work.

Song Of the MuSket !

What does the dear old musket say,
As, on the wall reclining,
I see its polished form to-day,
Where memories sad are twining?
read on its surface, full and plain,
This solemn warning: "Vote for Blainen
1t tells of the bivouac, cold and damp,
Where the hardy boys" are sleeping
Of the lonely sentry, without the camp,
His quiet vigil keeping.
1t also gives, i'll a solemn vein,
This firm injunction: "Vote for Blaine"'
1t tells of our Logan, bold and brave,
His gallant heroes leading
Over the scene of the new-made grave,
And the wounded, torn and bleeding
And still hear the sad refrain:
"Oh faithful soldier, vote for Blaine.'
1t speaks of the widows fearful eyes,
Her loved and lost bewailing,
1t tells of a mothers piteous sighs-
Ola life in sorrow failing;
And through the shadow of mortal pain
Itealls: ''oh, soldier, vote for Blaine!'
1t points, with boyonet sharp and keen,
To the past's eyentful story,
And paints anew each tragic scene
Ofits deeds of martial glory.
'Tis loudly calling, and not in vain:
"Oh, faithful soldier, vote for Blaine."
That voice which once proclaimed the law,
In tones of thunder speaking,
That bayonet which vile traitors saw
With their own life blood reeking-
Both join to swell the glad refrain: e..
''Oh, gallant soldier, vote for Blaine!'
Now, while these sacred memories last,
And men retain their reason,
While we review the troublous past
With its tale of murderous treason,
Let the old gun speak not In vain,
Each loyal soldier, VOTE FOR BLAINE!''

Talks With People !
"BONE DUSTp'

"BONE DUSTp
We, met Prof Hank couple of days
ago, and he had just returned from Gal
| liza county. Among other incidents of
his trip he tells story of an old colored
gentleman which he heard over there,
and which occurred but few days ago.
A gentleman living over there had a COW
die, and buried her on his place. Some
time afterward the old colored man
who was gathering bones for bone dust
came along and asked permission to dig
up the bones and sell them, which was
readily given. The old fellow dug down
the bones. He so informed the former
owner of the cow, who told him that that
was all the better; that they made fertil-
iZers out of the meat; that he could get
more for her in Gallipolis in that condi-
tion, than for the bare bones.
The old man went to work, and they
don't know just how he did it, but he got
that old cow loaded up some way and
started with her to Gallipois. He declar-
ed that "she didn't smell bad when he
fust dug 'er up" but when the sun and
air got clatter at her, it was simply sub
lime. He started for the city, carrying
with him a pressure of about four thous-
and pounds to the square inch, and when
he arrived within the corporate limits he
was met by the officers of the law who
gave him so long time-or rather so
short a tme-to get outeof the. city. He
got" Asshe passed certamsbEidge, he
managed some how to dump his savory
load into the creek, where it remains to
this day. A few days afteryards the
old colored gentleman preached at a camp
meeting near by, and the ;owner of the
COW attended. AS the goodsold man pro-
ceeded to pour hot shot into sinners, and
lay bare the snares and dangers that lie
in wait for transgressors, he, asshe after
wards remarked, Thought O dat cow
many times" as he saw the owner sitting
in front of him. If any man wants any
of that bone dust, he will find it under
the bridge.

More Proof!

We speak in another place about the
cost of living thirty years ago, as COM
pared with the present. 1t holds good
with other necessities as well as with
groceries and provisions. Go to o. S.
Miller's store, and you will find that you
can get 25 yards good calico, for the price
of one days work; thirty years ago day
work would only pay for 4 yards. And
it is so with every thing at Miller's. Go
there and hear his prices.

We do not care to meddle in Demo-
cratic affairs, but as the Democratic
politicians declare that Cleveland will
be elected, we would make sugges-
tion or two about the Cabinet. We
will only make two nominations at
present: Beecher, for Secretary of
State, and Edward S. Stokes for Sec
retary of the Interior. Oh. yes.
Well make another suggestion

maid of the White House.

Thirty Years Ago!

Thirty years ago the writer of this was
engaged as clerk and salesman for firm
that employed many laborers, and sold
them the necessaries of life. We have
compared prices of labor, and cost of liv-
ing. We find that man can take the
price of a days labor now and with it
buy as much groceries and provisions at
Dungan'S store as he could get thirty
years ago for four days work. just go to
Dungan's and see if this is not so.

1t is quite refreshing to see our

the fact that Cleveland hung two
Irishmen. But is that all he did to
distinguish himself in Buffalo?
