the people of over s1oo,Ooo,ooo every
year, which is inexcusable oppression of
the many to enrich a few by unjust and
undue2protection. In opposition to this
party the Democrats offer platform
which promises rigid reform of the
government in every department and a
reduction of its expenses. They have
nominated to carry out this platform
Governor Cleveland, who has made an
honest and efficient Mayor of the great
city of Buffalo, and an admirable Cover
nor of New York. He is the antipode
of Mr.. Blaine in official integrity. His
enemies can point to no act of bis official
life which has not been honest and eff
cient. He has lnade a good Mayor, and
an able and upright Governor. He
would make good President. Mr..
Blaine has been corrupt member OF
Congress and Speaker of the House.
He would make a corrupt President.
The vote of South Carolina may be ne
cessary to elect Cleveland, and the vote Of
Anderson County may BE necessary to
carry the vote of this State for the Dem
ocratic party.
These facts are surely enough to induce
all of our people to turn out on next
Tuesday and help in the great work Of
securing good government for ourselves
aud our country.
In addition to the Importance of the
National election, VIC may urge the
duty which rests upon every patriot ID

ment safe from the clutches of the Rad
ical robbers who infested it before the

OFF FOR THE CONVENTION
Every Preparation Being Made
to Insure Comfortable and
Quick Trip with A No. |
Accommodations.

AS to be expected, the B. & O. is
right on time with bottom figures
on the rates to the Chicago Conven-
ton. One fare fer the round trip,
with tickets good going from May
29th to June End, and good return
ing up to and including June 18th,
is the way to talk it, and that is
the tune the old reliable sets for
others to follow or not as they
please. 1t matters little to the
public or the road, as hereabouts
all go by the B. & O. Every means
will be provided to insure ample
accommodations for all who come,
and as for time, the roads reputa-
ton in this respect leaves no room
for question. AS matter of course,
the B. & O. will take this business
from this section, as no other line
can compare with it in direct and
rapid access to the seat of conven-
ton proceedings. Its trains run
direct to Chicago without change,
and when the demand reaches the
limit of the regular trains suffi :
cient sections will be added to &C.
com modate the travel to the most
satisfactory extent. An especial
advantage possessed by the B. &
O. over all other lines entering
Chicago is that its depot may be
said to be almost a part of the
structure in which the conven.
tions will be held. 1t Immediate
ly adjoins the convention building,
and the main entrance is but a
very short walk from the platform
where the trains stop. The B. &
O.'s new depot In Chicago, is be-
You'd all question, the handiest in
in the city; being within a few
squares of the hotels and near the
business centers. 1t is an exceed
ingly neat and commodious build
ing, with attractive waiting rooms
and courteous attendants. The low
rates-half fare, or one fare for the
round trip-will be in force for
both conventions, the National Re-
publican in June and the National
Democratic in July. 1t would be
a good idea for those contemplating
going to have talk with the B. &
o. agents and learn all requisite
particulars, in the shape Of time of
departure of trains, etc. etc.

The Ohio Voters Union.
OBJECTS.


1. To organize and hold together
the Second Amendment voters of
Ohio.
2. TO keep up the agitation of
the Temperance question, with
Prohibition as the objective point,
by means of the distribution of
sound Temperance literature, in
creasing the circulation of Tenn
perance papers, and by meetings
and public addresses:
3. To make every effort possible
to secure to the voters of Ohio a re-
submission of the Prohibitory
Amendment to our State Constitu-
ton.
4. To secure through the ballot
box the election of legislative and
executive officers who will have
the conscientious convictions and
the moral courage to enact and en-
force laws which will protect our
homes and the best interests of So
ciety from the ravages of the drink
traffic.

Continental Prohibition.

1t is a remarkable fact that the
first Continental Congress, in IVA
recommended the Colonies to enact
such laws as would be effectual in
prohibiting "the pernicious prac-
tice Of distilling, by which the
most extensive evils are to be de-
rived, if not quickly prevented"
Such suggestion was worthy the
foresight and wisdom of the patri-
OTIS assembled to discuss questions
Of paramount Importance. They
remembered not alene their own
generation, but aspired to inaugu-
rate measures beneficial to the fu-
ture, and which might result in
saving America from the blighting
curse of intemperance. AS we look
back to that interesting period in
our National life, what mathemati-
clan skilled in the art of figures, Or
what moralist, reveling in an ar
ray of carefully prepared statistics,
can compute or even estimate the
transcendent benefits that would
have crowned every home, over
which the Bright banner of the
Republic floats, if the organic law
had contained a provision forbid
ding the manufacture, sale and use
of alcohol throughout the United
States.

Failure of High License.

Rev. DR.. Herrick Johnson recent.
" delivered an address in Chicago,
in which he took the ground that
high license was the most Gis-
chievous enemy of prohibition.
He pointed out five things that
make high license Cor taxation as
a remedy for the evils with which
we are cursed by the traffic in
strong drink, a delusion and q
sham.
l. 1t gilds the traffic with a GER
tain air of responsibility.
2. 1t induces the saloon keep
'ers to resort to other evils to make
good their loss by the license fee.
3. High license leaves the foun-
tain untouched while trying to
dam up some streams.
4 High license is a failure in
practice. 1t increases revenue,
but it does not lessen saloons, nor
change their real character.
5. The fifth and final point is,
that license, whether high or low,
is wrong in principle.
He argued that the only true
remedy for the evils of the drink
traffic was prohibition. The su-
preme duty of the hour, he claimed,
was to make men see the truth
about the dram shop; that it is an
evil, and that continually, and
that there is no possibility of "a just
compromise with it.

Prohibition Pointers.

The Wayne county CO., Herald,
a prominent Republican journal
talks this way:
"The Herald plants itself, openly
and without reserve, on the side of
the homes, the churches, the schools
and the business interests of the
people Of the great State of Ohio.
If, in the opinion of the Wooster
Republican, this be treason to the
Republican party, then make the
most of it.
If, according to it's idea, a man !,
to be a Republican must crowd
down his convictions and throw
principles that are of vital impor-
lance to the wind, we never be-
longed to the party"
Capt. Dan K, Shields, who has
been Temperance campaigning in
Illinois, writes the Monitor Journal
as follows:
"It is encouraging to note how
Prohibition is gaining ground.
Quite a number of glorious victor
les over saloons in towns heretofore
under the reign of whisky. Out
of fifteen cities and towns where |
have lectured during the past 3
months, all but one voted out their
murder mills and no more riot will
be put on the market by law for
for the purpose Of running the citi-
zens of these places. God speed the
day when right, justice and truth
shall triumph. and the liquor traf
fc shall forever be showed under
by ten millions of pure, God-honor-
ing ballots.

Taking Down a Chimney.

1
From a paper entitled ''Chimney Con
struction," ;" by Messrs. r. M. and j. F.
Bancroft, we take the following inter
esting account of an ingenious arrange
ment employed for taking down CHM
uey shaft in MiddlesborO', England, the
method followed being necessary, as
the chimney stood in crowded posi-
tion, and therefore could not be thrown
| down. The bricks had to be lowered
with as little damage as possible, SO
| that they might be used again for build
ing purposes. Owing to the position of
the chimney the bricks could not be
thrown down 0utside, and il thrown
