effect that Hon. R. E. Reese is candi-

such statements are made for the ex-

THE ten Democrats of Ohio who voted
against the tariff reduction bill, did not
represent the Democratic position by SO
doing, as will be demonstrated by the
Democratic National Convention which
will declare emphatically for tariff re-
form, and re-indorse the Democratic
theory of tariff for revenue with Incl
dental protection, or in other words the
Ohio idea, which did so much toward
pulling this State through for the De-
mocracy last fall But while these men
voted against the Morrison bill, we are
not one to read them out of the party,
believing that they voted in accordance
with their convictions, and knowing
that there is quite diversity of opinion
on this tariff question in our own party,
as well as amongst the people of the
country. ....

own defense i'm the Continent monthly

story, which treats of the early Christ

the dead at the hands of the Apostles

that the Christians were granted the
power of raising the dead so long as
they maintained their simple worship
and their community of goods and in
terests; but that they lost this and 9TH

Emperor Constantine and allied them

THE Republican organ of this county
does not tell the farmers that it was a
Republican Congress which took off
the duty on wool, and that it was a
Republican Senator, John Sherman,
now prominent candidate for the
nomination for President, who was
most influential in causing the re-
duction to be made. Neither does it
tell its readers that the Democrats of
Ohio have done their best to restore
the wool tariff, or reduce the manufac-
tured article correspondingly. No, it
is as mum as an oyster, and is not at
all anxious to tell the Henry county
farmers that the Democratic party is in
favor of discrimination in levying the
tariff with view to encourage and aid
home productive industry and labor,
and not to create and foster monopolies,
while the party it represents would con-
tinue to impose some $4,000, 900 of un-
necessary taxes, and thus make articles
of use and consumption heightened in
their price some 20 per cent. and that
burden to fall on the user and consum-
er, enriching the few at the expense of
the many, and large surplus in the
Treasury, bait to the scheming scoun-
drels that hope to continue in power by
hypocrasy and duplicity, evidenced by
the River and Harbor steal, the Star
Route prosecutions, etc. Nothing Of
this sort can be learned from its col
umns.

The gamblers of Wall street have
again inflicted panic on the country.
Grant, the petted and pampered tool of
unscrupulous sbeculators, after hav-
ing permitted himself to be used as the
decoy duck of bunko dealers, has col
lapsed, and the Marine Bank, of which
he and fellow named Ward were the
nominal heads, has failed, with liabili-
ties amounting to over Sl5, ,OOO,O 900, and
assets which will pay about one mill on
the dollar. Broker after broker and
bank upon bank have followed into the
vortex.
So far as these failures may effect the
stock gamblers and moonshine specu-
lators, and the various organizations of
forty thieves known as "boards of
trade" matters little, and sympaty
will not be subject to over-drafts. The
sooner such characters and such insti-
tutions are returned to the "vile soil
from whence they sprung," the better
for the country and for the people. But
unfortunately the arteries of Wall
street and its so-termed business meth
ods, extend through the entire land
and effect more or less every legitimate
business enterprise. Where the mis-
chief will stop no one knows; but it
may be fairly presumed that in the end
the innocent and confiding depositor
will be the greatest sufferer.
How shall these often recurring cal
amities be prevented? Everything,
even the necessaries of life, has become
the commodity of speculation, the
traffic of combinations, of aggregate
capital, of monopoly. Values are no
longer regulated by demand and sup
ply, and Buffers aphorism

On Wednesday night after the boxes
and tally sheets from the various pre-
crncts had been brought into COlfax
and deposited in the Clerks Office, some
men on drunken spree entered the
Court House and took out the ballot
boxes, broke them open and burned the
ballots. Fortunately The, talley-sheets
and commissioners statements were in
q secure place and escaped. The act
seems to have been Wanton foOlishness
committed without purpose in a spirit
of pure deviltry. Sixteen of the boxes
were broken open, including the Ward
boxes as well as the parish, the only
boxes preserved intact being the Ward
boxes at Bruce's the Ward and Parish
boxes of Ward 8. the Ward and Parish
BIKES Of Ward 4, and the Ward box of
Ward Z, This outrage deserves to be
punished, and we sincerely hope the
rascals who perpetrated it may be fer
reted ont and brought to punishment
richly deserved.
Since the above was put in type we
are led to suspect that the destroying of
the boxes and ballots was a part of a
systematic programme. At any rate the
matter will be given a thorough siftings,
