PARKERSBCRG, June ii. The Court
House to-day was the scene of the widest
and most exciting conventions ever wit
messed in that old temple Of jus
tice. To the spectators it was better than
anything every witnessed under a circus
tent. The Court House was crowded to its
utmost capacity. The Greeuback conyen-
tin assembled for the purpose Of nominating
county ticket but merely endorsed the
ticket nominated by the Knights Of
Labor recently There was hard
kicking by the old men such
as Billy Smith, Billy Neale, G. L. Spencer.
The scene at times baftied description. The
leaders of the opposite factions woul fight
..ycr the privilege of the floor. When ruled
put of order By the chair tlty would
lahe it up and 20 at it again. The convention
wound up by endorsing the entire Knights
Of Labor ticke, with the exception Of Asses
sors. Then came The great struggle over
endorsing the action of the
BuckhannOn Convention,
Turing which discussion, as also during the
heated session referred to, some family
.ecrctS were exposed.
Pier>ol. of the Standard referred to the
corrupt sale at BuCkhannon, charging that
Deputy Marshal Liggett, Of Kanawha

State at the Government expense TO pro
cure proxies to control the State Greeuback

Of the grave charge against United
States officials But Piersd saws he can
prove it. Piersol intends to hold anoth-
rr State Convention, If. there is no one
but, himself to take part. There will
be a straightout Greenback State ticket and
candidate for Congress. The resolution
was carried by a vote of fourteen to three.

he action Of the party leaders in the fusion
scheme He SAYS they cannot use the
column of the Standard to prostitute the
glorious principals OF Greenback party. The
price asked $500 Piersol spoke right out
in meeting to-day and admitted that the
Republicans agreed to furnish corruption
fund for campaign purposes providing the
Grcenbackers would give them the head of
the ticket. Hon J. H. Burt, Of Wheeling was
introduced and made brief speech, full o.
good sense, aud made hosts of friends.

AVote of Thanks.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The comrades of Null
harien-O'Cain Post No. 8 G.. A. r. de-
sire to thank the citizens of Eaton and
vicinity, for the manner in which they
labored to make our Reunion a grand
success. The elaborate decoration ex-
presses their loyalty to the cause for
which we suffered; and for which
many brave ssboys" gave their lives
That willingness with which our peo-
pie responded tothe call for money and
provisions is an impressive token OF
sympathy for our gathering. The self
sacrificing spirit and benevolent man
ner of the ladies in decorating the
ground; preparing and handsomely
serving o bounteous dinner, deserves
the highest commentator of oil old
soldiers.
The response of orr heart is "God
bless the patriotic women of America
especially of Eaton"
Our Post is delighted with the beau
tiful flag presented them by the ladies
and will keep it among the archives O
the order as a witness of their devotion
to our beloved Union.
As citizen soldiers of our Great Re
public we feel grateful to all who en-
deavored to make u re-union q sue

them. Col. Constable, President OF the
Reginental Association called the
meeting to order after which a prayer
was offered by the Rev. George Baugh-
man. Then followed an address of well
come by Rev. W. II. Orr, responded to
by Gen. Mclean. An address by Capt.
n. L. Morey was then listened TO, after
| which dinner was announced. This
dinner excelled all p%revioust forts of
the women. Large basketfuls of good
things had been brought and tent from
all over the county and been artisticaIly
arranged by the Eaton ladies who know
so well how to make things a success.
The veterans ate all they could, then
the citizens were invited ard still the
rich and luscious stores were not ex-
hausted. After dinner, the election of
officers was first disposed of with the
following result:
Pres't-Gen. N. G. Mclean, of From
tenac, Mimi.
Vice Pres't-J. w. Gano, Of Cincin-
natl, o.
Sec'y and Treas.-Maj. j. G. Hall, of
Cincinnati.
The place of holding the next meet
ing Is at Macarthur. Vinton county, o.,
next August. After the election, talks
and tales of "reminiscences by the various
old soldiers present were heard. The
old battle flag which was riddled with
bullets and which is now only held to-
pleased the sight of the men who so
boldly Fought preserve it. Three men
were shot down while carrying this
flag in the late war. Among whom
will be remembered Enoch III. Gordon
and Michael Brady. The old flag has a
bullet hole through its staff whit h was
made in the hands of the man who
grasped it for the last time.
Company ga" then presented Col.
A. l.. Harris with u fine memorial
tHshograph, showing its members nan es
and ranks, as o mark OF their appreei-
alton and esteem for the brave man
who led them for two years. Among
those present was Andrew jackson, of
Athens county, who had both legs and
one arm destroyed by the war, still
while he sat in the midst of the com.
pany, he smiled while he displayed a
piece of a rebel flag which he captured
with his own hands at the battle of
Getty sburg. Jackson was one of the
happiest men present.
Another remarkable escape from the
Jaws Of deaths was witnessed in the
person of Col. Ben. Morgan, who was
present, but no had been shot through
the lungs and left on the battlefield of
Gettysburg to die.
Many anecdotes and other interesting
matters which / have not the space to
chronicle, must necessarily be omitted ,
but the men seemed to esteem their old
Colonel "a. l.. Harris) as a father, and
as they parted from him in the evening
you could have seen the tear-drops
stealing from their eyes.
When the meeting at the Fair Ground
adjourned a procession headed by the
Boston drum corps proceeded to the
wigwam and INDUCED in three cheers
for the 10Th. Then the veterans broke
ranks, and many of them went around
to see their old Colonel at home and
spend q few minutes in talk with old
comrades, until the train arrove which
carried them home, where it is hoped
they will live to a good old age and Will
never be called to fight in another
bloody war, but help us to teach follow
ing generations the blessedness ofpeace.

comparatively an easy task for a frothy
writer to string out a column of words
upon any and all subjects. His ideas
may flow in one weak, washy, everlast-
ing flood, and the command Of his Ian

gether like punches of onions, and yet
his paper may be but a meagre and poor
concern. Indeed, the mere writing part
of editing a paper liz but a small portion
Of the work.
A SON and daughter of Samuel Morton,

A word about Eaton. The managers
of the reunion and those who assisted
did themselves great and lasting credit
by their hospitality and lavish generosi-
ty- They. threw wide open the gates of
their well provided fair ground; there
was no ten cents admission fee, and
their hearts stood ajar like their gates.
and the watchword was "Welcome."
There was ample provision made to feed
all, the dinner served by fair hands was
partaken of first by the soldiers, then the
multitude was fed and there was enough
left after all enjoyed the most sumptous
repast to feed the poor of Eaton, If they
have any, we doubt if a people so gener-
Gus have, for weeks. All honor to Eaton
for the good it did, and may the brave
old soldiers who were there live long to
remember her free unstinted generosity.

Teachers. Institute.

The Teachers Institute held last week
was said to be the most interesting and
practical Institute held for years. There
was a spirit of interest and enthusiasm
rife among allthe teachers. which, we
are glad to know, was due to the fact
that .shome TALENT" if you please, can
appreciate the wants of Preblc ~county's
promising young teachers, and MEET
those wants by furnishing the proper
kind of instruction. The instruction in
the several branches was thorough, and
clearly presented.
It is due to PEBBLE county to say that
she has as many wide-awake teachers as
any county in the State. The teachers
cannot speak too highly of the work done
by F. S. Alley, R. E. Lowry and Prof.
G. G. Miller. Mr.. Alley handled in a
mastery manner the intricate subjects
of INFINIrIvEs and PARTIcIrLEs in gram
mar, and the practical and natural meth
cd of teaching geography. Mr.. Lowry
taught more q. S. History than we eyer
heard in the same length of time, and
his success is but the result of his broad
knowledge of History. Equally we'll did
he teach arithmetic, and those who were
not present to hear this subject were the
losers. Every exercise conducted by the
popular instructor-C. G. Miller-was re-
ceived with applause. His "School
Room Experiments in Physics" and lee
lures on English Literature were the
most interesting features of the Institute.
Mr.. Miller never fails to command at
tention and appreciation because of the
intense interest and carnestness with
which he presents q subject. As an in
stitute instructor Mr.. Miller stands among
the best.
Prof. Parsons of Delaware, delivered
three popular lectures on history. which
directed the minds of teachers to new
fields of thought. Prof. Parsons is too
well known to need any comments from
this, source. Supt. Pollok delivered a
lecture or talk on Reading" Friday

by the Institute prior to adjournment:
