Referring to this papers sugges-
ton that it would a good thing for the
community if more doggery-keepers
would go off and kill themselves, as
one did in Cincinnati a short time
ago, Editor Lawson Of the Penny Post
is moved to remark: Instead of this
bloodthirsty sentiment being from
the pen of South Sea cannibal, as
might be supposed, it was penned in
Ohio" 1t is considered bloodthirsty
and cruel in Cincinnati, to express
satisfaction at the departure of one of
Satan's active workers. We will
admit that were the Devil to die it
would be mighty lonesome in Cincin-
natl, for time. The Posts columns
are filled with accounts of the horrible
work of the doggery-keeper. The
editor Of that paper knows that eight
tenths of all the crime and misery in
this country may be traced directly
to the use of intoxicants. The men
who sell liquors go on from year to
year sending better men than them
selves to the Penitentiary and the
gallows, sending orphan children to
the Infirmaries, and working ruin
all about them. Yet if one ventures
the suggestion that is a good thing
when one of these fellows-who has
been causing death for years-goes to
final Judgment before an outraged
God, it is called blood-thirsty and
cannibalistic in Cincinnati May the
Lord help Cincinnati!

There Is a manliness about Will B.
Tomlinson, editor Of the Ironton Bee.
and candidate for Representative in
Lawrence County, which commands
our admiration Tomlinson loves his
mother with that passionate fondness
which stamps the true son and Chris
tian gentleman. He made a slight
mistake in the attack upon Allen O.
Myers-not In the attack itself, but
in the manner Of it-for he should
had taken a club instead of a pistol.
Myers failed to find sufficiently rough
terms in which to express himself re-
garding the editor of the Bee, and
publicly uttered an Infamous remark
about the editors mother. Tomlin-
son-who, we believe, avenged the
murder Of his father by staying his
murderer-threatened to shoot Myers
unless he retracted which he prompt
lY did. Now-and we are very sorry
to note the fact-the Democratic
paper at Ironton shows a disposition
to drag this unpleasant matter into
the present campaign. This style of
political campaigning never pays the
party engaged in it, neither does it in
jure the party attacked. Mr. Tom
Hnson will find that his best course
would be to hold no newspaper con-
troversy with regard to his private
affairs. There is little danger in
trusting such matters with the people
for adjustment. If gentleman
should get down into the filth and
root with hogs, the people will not
think less Of the hogs in consequence.

The Prohibition Convention at

mated the following ticket: Governor,
A. B. Leonard, of Clarke County;
Lieutenant Governor, Prof. W. G.
Frost. of Lorain County; Supreme
Court Judge, Gideon T. Stewart, of
Huron County; State Treasurer,
John Danner, Of Starke County; At
torney-General, A. E. Clevenger, of
Clinton County; Board of Public
Works, John S. Neville, Of Hardin
County. The Prohibitionists promise
4 lively, vigorous campaign. What
;hey will be able to accomplish, re-
mains to be seen. We can only urge
Temperance Republicans to stand
firm for the Republican ticket, and
gnore, entirely, the third party tick
It. The Republican party is greater
han any man, or any Convention,
md though bitter fight may be
made against the head of the ticket
" the Prohibitionists, let no Repub-
ican be so negligent Of duty as to
hrow away his vote this year. The
Id party has duty to perform yet
Is Republicans we must look beyond
he present, and act for the best in
erests Of the party, and of the State.
We do not believe there is any Re
ublican Temperance man who wants
D see any more Of Democratic i'm
