A Living Saint.

John P. ST. John, the Prohibition
candidate for President, tells a pa
thetic story of the prosecutions and
suferings of the black people Of Illi-
nois during the existence Of the
''black laws of that State, and how
he himself was punished for directing
his wife to give crust of bread and
morsel of cold meat to poor negro
child who called at his door. And to
round off his story he says that Gen
eral John A. Logan was the author of
the Illinois 'black laws" and was
chiefly instrumental in procuring
their enactment.
These facts Mr.. st. John avouches
for as true Of his personal knowledge.
Now, see how plain tale shall put
down this super-righteous and truth
full saint and martyr. The Illinois
"black laws" were passed long before
General Logan was born, and ceased
to exist before st. John was old
enough to have wife!-
lie the Prohibitionists had under
stood themselves at the time of hold
ing their National Convention they
could have made great improvement
on their ticket. If they had nomi-
mated Eli Perkins for Vice-President,
instead of Daniel, they would have
enjoyed the glorious privilege Of vot-
ing for the two champion liars Of
America ON the same ticket.-Colum-

1t Has Come ''A'readyw

Cleveland's Letter of Acceptance
made its appearance with singular
promptness after Ben. Butler had
given the country his address" "
The letter is short, but column in
length, and contains about as much
evidence Of craftsmanship in it's
author, as the essay of school-boy.
Cleveland is opposed to any laws
which interfere with the habits or
customs OF any Of our people," This
is bid for the support Of the liquor
interest. He believes, on the whole
that that party which gives the best
promise Of a good administration of
the government, should be placed in
power. When it comes to promises, u
nothing now known to exist can ''hold
a candle" to the Democratic party.
1t has been making all kinds of prom
ises for the last twenty-four years, and
although in many Of the States the
people have entrusted the party with
power, it has never kept its word.
The Democratic party is the biggest
liar now known to be living.
Mr.. Cleveland thinks commerce
should be fostered, and that labor
should be protected" But he only
refers to the local protection Of labor.
His efforts for the protection Of labor
consist in running as the Free Trade
candidate of Free Trade party.
In conclusion, Mr.. Cleveland sub
mits to the will of God, who, be-
lieve, will always bless honest human
endeavor in the conscientious discharge
of public duty" Mr.. CIeveland's S
Letter is the shortest, and perhaps the
weakest, production that Uncle Sam
my Tilden ever got up.

To YOung Men.

Young man, if you have never yet
cast ballot for a Presidential candi.
date, the present should be time o1
earnest reflection upon your part, as
to your duty to yourself, to society, to
your country. Let your vote be an
expression of your belief that brains
and honesty are desirable qualities in
a Presidential candidate. Do not vote
for candidate because some one else
does so. Do not vote for a candidate
because he is the candidate of any par
ticular party. There is broader view
than this.
If a great political party shall put
in nomination man whose very name
cannot be spoken, save in terms Of
contempt, by reason of the life he has
led, it is certainly your duty to vote
against that man. A man whom you
would not think of respecting in your
own home, should not, by act of yours,
be chosen as the Chief Magistrate and
representative of great Nation.
If another great political party shall
put in nomination man whose pres
ence graces the home circle and the
freside, a man whose fame is as broad
as the Nation, and whose every public
act has been characterized by love Of
country, you risk nothing in casting
your ballot for that candidate.
There is a good deal in starting
right. The man who rode down a
hillside on a sled, and ran plump
against stump at the bottom, de-
stroying the sled and breaking things
up generally, was hailed with: Hello,
stranger, you've made mistake in Sc
lecting a stopping placer' mo, I
didn't" was the reply-''my mistake
was in startingr'
Be sure to start right, and the gen.
eral tenor of your life will be in the
right direction.

The Portsmouth Times challenged
Ed. Wilson, of the Ironton Register,
to name a Republican in Lawrence

with Judge Thompson. Ii you want
something laughably ridiculous, put
Leo up to hold the Democratic party

FREE TRADE!
THE SANDT0WN FREE TRADE CLUB
CONSIDERS JACKSON COUNTY
AFFAIRS!

Notwithstanding the inharmonious
ending Of the previous meeting, the
Cleveland and Hendricks Free Trade
Club assemble a second time, more
particularly on this occasion to con-
slider matters pertaining to the politi-
cal interests of the Democratic party
in Jackson County. This meeting is
for the especial benefit of working
men, and its principal object is the
enlightening Of such as to the friend
ship Of the Democratic party for
them.
Prof. Windgaster was the first
speaker: my friends said he, ''we
must take the situation as we find it.
You all know that few years ago,
furnace hands could get from a dol
lar and half to two dollars day,
and coal miners could make three to
four dollars. What is the situation
now? The Republican party have
been in power all these years. First,
the payment Of money was stopped,
and scrip introduced. When that
was made improbable by law, punch
cards were issued, and wages cut
down. Matters drifted on from bad
to worse, and there was finally an out
break, when soldiers were sent to
Jackson County, to shoot miners.
Matters continued to grow worse, un-
til finally the Republicans robbed the
County Treasury, and gobbled up all
the peoples money.
"How much did they gobble?"
asked Mr.. Wabbler.
More than eight thousand dollars"
replied Windgaster.
"And didn't the rascals pay it
back?" queried Simper.
"Well-er-we1l-yes!' said Wind
caster, ''they paid it back, but they
stole it all the samer'
"Then," continued Windgaster, ''see
what dangerous hold they're getting
on the people. Why, when I told
a crowd of them the other day that
Lively said that bread and meat was
good enough for laboring man, and
Edwards said he was too poor to be
tax payer, and Judge Miller and
Frank Crummit, and all the rest said
equally hard things, they just laughed
at me, and said it was a Demo-

IN. Y. INDEPENDENT
Good Men i'm Office.

The time is near approaching when
the local conventions. and primary
meetings will be held, under the d.
rection of at least four parties, to
nominate Governors, congressman,
Assemblymen, etc. It is time to con-
slider who they shall be.
This is year when the question
will be asked more stringently than
ever by the voter. Is he good man,
an honest man, a pure man, one
whom it will be honorable to vote for?
IF such men are not nominated that
will be reason enough for boiling the
nominations.
This experience of the campaign
already proves that the two most es-
setial things are, to have candidates
whose purposes in going into politics
are honest, and whose private charac-
ter is pure After doing so serious a
thing as boiling nominations for the
presidency of the country, backed by
the voice of the nation in its conven-
tions, any voter will find it an easier
thing to bolt nomination for any
minor Office. No party afiliation will
excuse citizen for supporting man
believed to be bad for high Office.
The country is full of aspiring pol
iticians whose ambition it is to get
into office simply for selfish ends, for
the money they will make out of it.
They are willing to barter their legis-
lative offices for private gain. II such
a man seeks nomination or election,
he must be met by vigorous mega
tive. Such men corrupt justice and
disgrace legislation, whatever the de-
cencies of their domestic life may be.
On the other hand, man notorious
for personal social vices, no matter
how honest he may be, is no fit man
to be elected to the humblest Office.
Be he drunkard or a libertine his
elevation to an honorable place honors
his character, and no Christian man
ought to help honor such charac-
ter. Who wants his wife or daugh-
ters to think, as they are introduced
to the Governor of their state, or
their Member Of Congress, that he is
drunkard or a debauchee? There
is a shame about the very idea which
should restrain the hand that casts
the ballot
The remedy is simple, but will not
be applied. 1t consists in performing
the simple duty of attending primary
meetings, and voting there for good
candidates. If our honest and pure
minded citizens, men of character and
repute, our ministers and church
members, as we'll as the rumshop
hangers-on, would not find conven-
tions and caucusses controlled in the
interest of corrupt and immoral men.

A lady, who suffered from weakness
peculiar to her sex, in writing to a
friend, said: II tried various kidney
medicines, but only found myself
growing worse. A friend told me to
use DIR. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
Sarsaparilla. Its effect on me was
soon indicated by clear and beauti-
full complexion, a freedom from aches
and pains, complete removal of ner-
vous depression, painless regularity in
habits of digestion, and otherwise. /
can not praise the remedy too highly
as true friend to suffering woman
hood and as strengthening medicine.

The best interests Of humanity de-
pend on the good health of our women
folks, and yet those with brightest in
tellects seem to suffer most with all
ments peculiar to female life. 1t is
well to remember that the whole fe-
male system can be built up to a
proper state of endurance, pimples,
sores, swollen limbs, monthly pains,
and other indications Of female disease,
made to disappear and robust health
of mind and body take the place of
illness and distress, if timely use is
made of DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock
and Sarsaparilla. 1t restores the blood
to perfect health, it strengthens the
muscular and nervous system. IL
gives tone to the digestive and urinary
organs. 1t allays all irritation of the
mucous membrane. In word, it is a
perfect female medicine, and aids
every function of female life. No
other remedy equals it. Have your

"AMEN!" yelled Sumner.


Mr.. Wabbler asked if the commit
tee appointed to prepare condensed
statement Of the history of the two
old political parties were ready to re-
port and if so, he would move that
the report be read now.
Mr.. Sumner arose and stated that
the report had been prepared at con-
siderable laLor and expense, but the
Committee could vouch for the entire
truthfulness Of the report.
"We find that the Republican par
ty has been in power in the County
for nearly a quarter of century;
that during that time large public
improvements have been carried on,
and that the affairs Of the county have
been so carefully managed LA l,a1 if has
never been embarrassed; that we
heard the statement that at one time
there was a balance Of thirty thousand
dollars in the Treasury; and upon in
vestigation find that the report was
true, but the statement was made
just previous to settlements with the
townships, and much of the money
was Immediately paid out on settle
ments; that we find the affairs hon
estly administered with the exception
Of one County Official who embezzled
the funds of the County to the ex-
tent of several thousand dollars, euery
dollar Of aohich was paid into the
Treasury by his bondsmen.
On the other hand, we find that the
Democratic party, while in power in
the County, loaned itself some seven
teen thousand dollars Of the peoples
money, which it lost in private spec
ulation. That some ten thousand
was paid back, the other seven thou
sand, with interest for more than a
quarter of century, being still due
the County by the Democratic party,
and every cent of this amount is a
total loss to the County; we find that
Democratic employers were always
foremost in advocating reduction
of wages and the use of scrip; that
the first punch tickets used in Jack
son were introduced by a prominent
Democratic employer; that in all la
Dor troubles the Democratic employ
ers have been the hardest task-mas-
ters; that the only troops ever
brought to the County, were brought
upon the call Of Democratic official;
that the whole history Of the party
shows determined spirit Of working
against the interests of the poor man" -"
"Well," said Simper, if this be all
true, and ] have no reason to doubt
it, don't see what there is for US in
the Democratic party"
Mr.. Wabbler thought the only
hope for the Democracy in this cam
paign lay in telling lies on the Re-
publican candidates, and sticking to
them.
But the trouble is" said Sumner,
it has come to that point, that instead
of our sticking to the lies, they stick
to u.s."
NO." said Windgaster, let us stick
to the truth, as 1t is found in the
Democratic party i"

There is no doubt that members o1
the Greedy Arctic Expedition devoured
portions of the bodies of comrades
who died in the far North. The body
of Lieutenat Kislingbury was recently
exhumed and examined at Rochester,
N. Y, and large portions of the legs,
arms and backsshown to have been
cut away. The body of Private
Whistler was exhumed a few days
ago at Delphi, Indiana, and bore the
same evidences Of mutilation. The
story of the sufferings Of the Greeley
party is horrible throughout. Lieut..
Greeley stated few days ago that if
there was any cannibalism practiced,
he was not aware Of it. Yet there
can be little doubt that portions of
the dead bodies were eaten.

There was just one thing the Dem
ocrats needed to complete the Reform
aspect of the present campaign, and
that was the nomination of John L..
Vance for Congress, and that has been
done over in the Athens District.
Vance has patent on Reform. This
is the same Vance who was once a
Member Of Congress, and who was on
the Committee on Public Print ling,
and had relative "~4ployed and paid
as an EApert Public Printing" to
me extent Of hundred dollars, when
the employee perhaps did not know
the difference between a roller-mould
and Cleveland's baby. That is the
