Correspondence.
Rev. Mr.. Case. of Cleveland, preach
cd to a full house, on the subject of
Temperance, last night. The meeting
was held in the Disciple Church. Mr..
Case, for q foundation of his remarks,
read the parble of the man who went
from Jerusalem to Jerico and fell
among thieves. He was very radical
in his position and statements, claim
ing that prohibition was the only true
and scriptural grounds on which to
settle the question of the liquor traffic
That neither tax nor license would
ever settle it. God never compromised
with sin, and there was not single
attribute of God but what was opposed
to the sale and use of Intoxicating
drinks as a beverage. There are a
good many temperance men and wo-
men i'm Randolph, and enough PrOhi-
bitionists to keep the waters troubled
until election, and if the Republican
pal ers can by any means be persuaded
to keep up their lying and slanderous
abuse of Mr.. Leonard. he will have
quite a respectable following by the
second Tuesday in October.

NlATTEEIS POLITICAL.

AS predicted last week, the Demo-
cratic County Convention nominated
some excellent men to fill the different
county Offices. The ticket is strong
clear through, and every portion
of it invulnerable. Capt. L. F.
Wilcox, the nominee for Representa-
tive, is battle SCARED veteran of the
war of the Rebellion, and Democrat
of uuimpeachable integrity. He lives
in StreetsbOrO, where he has been in
successful business since he returned
from the army. With Cap. Wilcox
in the Legislature the people of Por-
tage county will know that their in
terests will he safe.
~
No better man than Daniel w. Goss
could have been selected for Treasurer
He is an excellent accountant, and at
present is Teller in the First National
Bank of this place. He was the nom
inee of the party for Treasurer several
years ago, running against Col. John
G. Beatty, the Republican nominee,
Mr.. Goss then ran considerably ahead
of his ticket.
~
For Recorder representative of the
younger element of the party was Sc
! lected, in the person of Elmer f.
France, of Kent. He is a son of James
France, Esq, long prominent citi
Zen of Kent. He is Il young gentle
man of ability has been in the dry
goods business for about three years,
being now proprietor of one of the
largest and finest stores in town. If
by any chance he he elected the Re
corder's office will have an able and
efficient occupant.
~
Both the nominees for Commissioner
and Inlirmary Director are represent
alive men of tho county. Mr.. P;,.ter
son, the nominee for the former office,
lives in Windham, where he has long
been considered one of the substantial
men of the township. Mi. Gilbreath,
the nominee for IufirnIary Director,
lives at Mantua Station, where he il
engaged in mercantile business The
Convention could not have done better
than in the choice of these gentlemen
~
All of the above named were nomi-
mated by acclamation, and the work of
| the Convention was concluded early
in the day, after session in which
the utmost good feeling and harmony
prevailed. The ticket is "A splendid
one and the Democracy can now go
before the people with the happy
thought that they have nominate five
men against whom not 4 word can be
truthfully said. The people Of the
county can vote for the ticket, know
ing that if elt oted all of the gentle
men named are perfectly competent to
fill the offices for which they were
elected.
~
Both parties are how squarely before
the people with Their platforms and
tickets. Let it he an honest fight
from now on until election, and if the
Republicans are surc. Iiul, the DEM
ocrats will accept the inevitable and
become resigned 10 their fate as they
have been many times before.

The weol Question in ohio.

The exposures of undervaluation
and fraud on the imports of wool at
the port of Philadelphia since the pas
sage of the tariff of 1888, are likely to
play an unexpected part in the COM
ing election in Ohio. They may seri-
ously derange the plans of the politi
clans. The tariff as finally passed was
the work of committees of conference,
OH which Mr.. Carlisle was the only
Democrat. Mr.. Beck and others in
the Senate refused to serve, because
they were absolutely opposed to the
intended legislation.
In the contest between the wool
growers, mainly represented by Ohio,
and the manufacturers of wooien fab
RIGS in the East, sustained by Senator
Morrill, and his followers, the latter
prevailed. Mr.. Sherman and the Re-
publicans of Ohio voted in favor of
the manufacturers, and it excited great
Indignation throughout the State.
Senator Sherman and his partisans
pretend that they were ignorantof the
clauses in the tariff relating to wool,
and they promise to have them chang
ed 80 as to protect the growers in Ohio
and in other States who complain that
they suffer from the partial legislation
of their own political friends. But
there remains another grievance,
brought to light entirely by the change
| of administration, and which would
probably have continued if the Treas
ury had not passed into new end Wig
orOus hands.
During the last two years manufac-
turers of carpets in Philadelphia have
| imported immense quantities of good
| woods liable to duties of ten and twelve
cents q pound. These woods were
classified as of an inferior grade at the
custom house, and admitted at two
and q half and five cents q pound.
This extraordinary reduction of duty
was made by decision of the Treasu.
ry Department., which not only de-
prived the Government of several
millions of revenue, but which gave
the favored importers and their con-
| federates the opportunity to put mil
| lions in their pockets. The fact that
this decision was withheld from the
publication required by law, SO that
parties interested in other cOmmuni'
ties should be kept in ignorance of the
astounding partiality, tells the whole
story, and reveals the motive which
INSPIRED this glaring breach of trust.
The Ohio wool growers therefore
complain, first, that the law was de-
vised by the sharp practice OF con
ference to operate against their specia
interest; secondly, that the law, bat
as it is from their point of view, hai
\ been administered to their still greate
injury, by depriviDg them Of one. e.hal
of the protection to which they Art
entitled.
In one case. a Republican Congress
is responsible for the offensive legisla
ton. In the other case, a Republican
Administration is responsible for tn
frauds committed by its officials in tn
Treasury and in the Custom House
This matter affects greater interests ii
Ohio, and is far more important to tn
wool growers than any present ques
tion in politics. They are more likel..
to demand satisfaction from truste,
leaders for these wrongs than to aI
prove platform bristling with time
worn charges against the South.-lN
Y. Sun.

THE Brown County Democrat says
that few years ago, when preacl,e Is
made stump speeches against thu
Democrats, and drove the most of them
from the church, they were applaudt d
by the Republican press and politi
clans. 1t was all right then, so long
rs they were in accord with the Re-
publican party. But now that some
of them choose 10 set up i'm business
for themselves, and take hand in
politics against the Republican party,
the pap suckers of the "grand old
party" have suddenly discovered that
it is wrong for preachers to take part
in politics. And they even denounced
the churches. Sunday schools and
temperance organizations as Demo-
cratic aid societies. We now really
begin to doubt whether all the moral
ity in the country is in the Republican
party.

A Chicago chemist calls the atten.
ton of the Inter Ocean of that city to
a cheap and yet most efficacious disin-
fectant, which people can easily man
ufacture for themselves. The formula
for its preparation is as follows: Take
one-eighth of an ounce of nitrate of
lead and dissolve in one quart of boil
ing water then dissolve one ounce of
common salt in five gallons of water
Pour the two solutions together. and
when settled pour the clear solution
from the sediment, and keep well
corked in jug or demijohn for use
This preparation costs less than half
a cent gallon, and the manipulation
Is of the simplest kind. 1t is said that n
cloth wet in this solution and suspend
ed in room will neutralize all offens.
i've vapOrs, and that little of it dash
ed into sink, privy. drain or sewer.
will disinfect and destroy all noxious
gases by combining with them. The
chemist says he has used the prepera
ton for the past five years, and always
with entire satisfaction. Readers OF
the PREss will do we'll to preserve the
above formula and test its value.
