corporate abuses, we hold that the welfare of
society depends upon serupulous regard for
the rights of property as defined by law. We
believe that labor is best rewarded where it
is freest and most enlightened. 1t should,
therefore, be fostered and cherished.
We favor the repeal of all laws restricting
the free action of labor and the enactment of
laws by which labor organizations may be
Incorporated, and of all such legislation as
will tend to enlighten the people as to the
true relation of capital and labor. We be-
lieve that the public land ought as far as pos
sible to be kept as homesteads for actual set
tiers; that all unearned lands heretofore i'm
providently granted to railroad corporations
by the action of the Republican party should
be restored to the public domain, and that no
more grants of land shall be made to corpor-
atoms, or be allowed to fall into the owner
ship of alien absentees.
We are opposed to all propositions which
upon any pretext would convert the general
government into q machine for collecting
taxes to be distributed among the States or
the citizens thereof.
In reaffirming the declarations of the Dem
ocratic platform of 1856 that the liberal prin-
ciples embodied by Jefferson in the Declare
ton of Independence and sanctioned in the
constitution, which make ours the land of
liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of
every nation, have ever been cardinal princi-
Piles in the Democratic faith, we nevertheless
do not sanction the importation of foreign
labor or the admission of servile races unfit
ted by habits, training, religion or kindred
for absorption into the great body of our peo-
pie, or for the citizenship which our laws
confer. American civilization demands that
against the immigration or importation of
Mongolians to these shores our gates be closed.
The Democratic party insists that it is the
duty of the government to protect with equal
fidelity and vigilance the rights of its citizens,
native and naturalized, at home and abroad,
and to the end that this protection may be
assured, United States papers of naturaliza-
ton issued by courts of competent jurisdiction
must be respected by the executive and legis-
lative departments of our own government
and by all foreign powers.
1t is an imperative duty of this government
to efficiently protect all the rights of persons
and property of every American citizen in
foreign lands, and demand and enforce full
reparation for any invasion thereof. An
American citizen is only responsible to his
own government for any act done in his own
country or under her flag, and can only be
tried therefor on her own soil and according
to her laws, and no power exists in this gov
eminent to expatriate an American citizen to
be tried in any foreign land for any such act.

One or two live men in each district in
Carroll county to sell the Unrivaled Washing
Machine. 1t has been the aim of the inventor
to construct washing machine which, unlike
its contemporaries, WOULD DO the WORK
AS WELL AS BY HAND, and in much
shorter time, without destroying the clothes
or breaking the buttons. The Atkinson
is a machine which will stand the
most rigid examination, and do all
that is claimed for it. It is simple in
construction, thereby enabling the
manufacturer to sell at price which
puts it within the reach of all. It is
light and durable, not liable to get out of
repair, and is easily operated The principle
is unique and original, differing widely from
that of any machine ever designed for a sim
liar purpose. The time-worn system of beat
ing, rubbing and grinding the articles to be
washed is totally ignored, and new one
founded ON an established law of hydraulics,
which treats of the suction and pressure of
water and air. is substituted. N" Every
good housekeeper should examine it. 1t is
valuable addition to articles of household

Congressional.

As the time draws nigh for holding
the Congressional Convention, the var
iOus counties which constitute the
Democratic Gibralter" Of the North
west are looking about for the best Con-
gressional timber. Henry county, now
the second Democratic county in the
District, in the way Of majorities, will
present the name of Hon. S. NJ. Heller.
The claims of our county should no
longer be ignored. Putnam county has
had two term recognition in Con-
gress, and they have now State Sena-
tor, a Common Pleas Judge and a pros
pective candidate for District Judge.
Defiance county has had two terms of
Congressional honors, and now comes
little Henry with a majority only Sec
ond to that of Putnam and asks to be
recognized for the first time. We be-
lieve the Democrats of the district will
hearken unto us, and reward county
which has never received even a seat on
the Common Pleas bench, although it
has never failed to give increased ma
jorities for the organization. Henry
county should not be kept in the back
ground longer, and but asks for that
which is rightly its due.
AS for our candidate, Mr.. Heller, he
is man widely known in business cir
cles. Identified as he is with all the
important branches of business in the
district, including that of agriculture,
he would represent the people as only
man could who is every day brought
face to face with the wants of his con-
stituents. He is a Democrat of honor
and integrity, and the Democracy of
the 9th District if they choose him as
their candidate, and we believe they
will, will be ably represented by rep
resentative man.

The Reasons Why.

The reasons why the star reuters were
not convicted are coming out at last.
w. R. Cook is reluctantly exposing
some of them under cross-eXaminatiOn.
1t transpires that the name of General
Butler was mentioned, when the Sc
lection of a prosecuting attorney was
under consideration, and that "the at
torney-general objected to it for some
trivial reason" The reason alleged may
have been trivial, but the real reason
was very important. 1t was apparent
that with General Butler in command
of the prosecution, the campaign against
the Star route thieves would be pushed
with more vigor and ability than would
be pleasant for the eminent statesmen
mixed up in the corruption. No mock
trial, no weak indictments could be had
with General Butler in court. The at
torney-general knew that the guilty
men would be convicted if he selected
UcllcIdl butlcI w plooOSooC CiASii, oha
so he invented some trivial reason for
objecting to the appointment of the
ablest criminal lawyer in the country.
Another reason why the Star reuters
We're not convicted may be inferred
from the admission of Mr.. Cook that
while he was charging the government
81 500 for prosecuting them his partner
was earning s., 500 for defending them.
1t is also significant that Cook, while in
the employ of the government, had un'
der advisement an offer from Dorsey OF
employment on thai side. The fact that
the check for $500 paid Mr.. Cooks
partner was signed by Dorsey is also
suggestive. In short, the prosecution
of the Star reuters seem to have been
conducted principally by the friends
and paid attorneys of the thieves. 1t is
not surprising that the thieves escaped

THE time for the announcement of
names before the Democratic County
Primary Election will be up Saturday.
The special attention of candidates is
called to the 5th and 9th clauses of the
election notice, which limits the time
and requires the Executive Committee
to assess the expense of holding said
election upon the candidates, and in
case of the failure of any candidate to
respond, his name be dropped from the
ticket. This rule is imperative, and
hence this particular reference to in
sure general information upon the
point.

WE hope Democrats will make it con.
venient to be present at the caucuses on
Saturday. Every representative man
should be on hand and use his efforts
towards securing the nomination of an
unobjectionable ticket. The nomina-

regard to fitness for the positions to be
filled, is a detriment to the welfare OF
the Democratic organization as it is to
the best interests of the people. Demo-

A Strange Case.

The Findlay Star says an interesting
lawsuit took place in Jackson township,
Wood county, Ohio, on Friday, Febru-
ary 20, in which Abraham Rhinebolt,
plaintiff, and Charles Muesser, defend
ant. The facts of the case, as near as
we can learn are about as follows: Mr..
Rhinebolt, middle-aged German, was
paying his respects to Miss Jennie
Moor, and the arrangements for mar
riage had been fixed, ring purchased,
and the day set. But Miss Moor, think
ing she had the Dutchman under her
thumb, and that this would be the time
for her to pluck his cash, she informed
him that the marriage ceremony would
have to be postponed, on account of her
finances, whereupon her intended told
her he would supply the needed change
and thus he left that evening feeling
that all was satisfactorily arranged. He
was to return on the Saturday night
following, but judge of his surprise
when he arrived and found his intend
ed bride the wife of said defendant,
Charles Muesser. This riled the ire of
the German and he proceeded to North
Baltimore, where he employed Frank
Taylor, as his counsel in the above case.
He sued Muesser for $40, the amount
loaned his wife, and $l.5O, the value of
the ring. The case was tried before a
Jury, and a decision rendered in favor of
the plaintiff, for the amount of $21. so.
Thus ended one of the most interesting
cases ever tried in Wood county.

Mr.. w. I. CHAMBERLAIN, Secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture, says
that with the exception of damages
from the heavy floods, the wheat is
looking remarkably well ,and that there
is every indication of a large crop. The
cold weather and snow was doing the
wheat no harm, and unless the present
month should prove to be one of un-
usual rigor, there was no reason why
Ohio should not produce this year as
much wheat as usual.
