II Ia onl, recording q fact 10 state that
considerable feeling was stirred mp iu this
contest. There was some good material
to eeect commissioner from. Mr.. Bever =
stock is recognized as mn excellent citizen
and good man for the position, and IL he
will make IL known through some source
or other that he IL in favor Of and will de-
vote liza beat energies TO investigate the
reckless robbery Of the people during the
past eight years he will secure strong
support al the polls.
The people also desire TO hear from
Representative Emerson Oh three points,
viz: Are you in favor Of ADMITTING n
! constitutional amendment To the people
to allow them to vote on prohibitionP
Are You in favor nf consulting the peo-
pie regarding their financial interests in
regard to special legislation to increase
their taxes, instead OF their bosses at the
court house? Are you in favor OF a
whiskey tax law ior revenue only, or for
electioneering purposes only?
Capt. Harrison Terry, Of Bowling
Green, was renominatcd for second tern,
for Infrmary Director by acclamation.
Darkness had overtaken the convention
and Capt. Geo. S. Mcknight, of Perrys-
burg, attributes his defeat for Corner, by
Major Andy Orm, soley 10 this cause, as
near all the delegates from the outside
townships had gone home long before that
Office had been reached.
Thus ended the chapter of another mass
convention, the like in false report and
deception has scarcely ever been witnessed
| in Republican convention.

SOLDIERS MEMORIAL
Gen. Grant by 80 Ex-Confederates.

"The deeds of the living great become
more potential from reverence to the great
dead. North and South, sister sections OF
common country, side by side at the
grave of this great spirit OF peace, bespeak
the end of war, its aniniosilies buried, its
blessings perpeluated, Of united country,
OF restored union, stronger thought, the
crucible it has passed, our land never to
be drenched in fruternal blood. To such
man no death can come. He lives more
o.day in the hearts of his counlrymen
than ever before. The Immortality of
true greatness is his"
The spirit Which dictated such mem.
orial of Gen. Grant is worth more to the
people OF the United States Than millions of
gold. The noble men of the South mus
have heretofore mistaken the spirit OF the
North. Lincoln aud Grant were always
the friends OF the South. They believed
the dsunion of the States would he like
calamity to both South and North, that
patriots the world over would shed bitter

In civil war many atrocities might be
expected. The demons of cruelty and re-
venge hoist the black flag, cut the throats
of cnptivea, fssten their bodies to tree by
running a bayonet through their hearts,
put them in dens with victims dying with
small pox and fevers, in prisons to siarve
by lingering death IN the midst OF filth
and iniolerable stencil together with other
| indignities that only incarnate demons
could invent. But there are men both
| North and South whose souls abhor such
hellsh deeds. Gen. Grant was never
guilty of one such deed. His spirit was
| TOO magnanimous. He would take by the
hand aud press to his bosom every Snulh-
ern man who could express the sentiments
of the above memorial. Such men are
brothers wherever and whenever they
meet. Let the spirit that led the generals
and solders of the Southern army 10 ex
press such grand sentiments at the grave OF
a fallen chieftain whom united nation
| will never cease to honor be cherished by
all the people and handed down TO future
generations as a particular legacy. The
union of the States ought to he preserved
by the strongest ties of friendship. Let
every effort be made to cultivate the spirit
of patriotism. Let the North and South
vie with eachother in doing honor 10 the
men who fought under Gen. Grant. The
preservation of the union is due to The
bravery of the rank and file of the army
as much as tosthe genius and skill of the
great captain who issued his orders. Lei
every man Of the union army, who answer

1t tis fact worthy OF note for the COM
fort that it may bring to others that Gen.
eral Grants work was accomplished in
fifteen years Of his life, and that, too, after
he had reached the age of forty. He had
in his earlier years laid the foundation tor
his great work, but he himself had no idea
of the crises which would call his genius
into play. For many years he had strug
gled against an adverse fate, making n
failure ut almost everything he tried. He
gathered strength Of character as a century
plant gathers power 10 bloom. The cry
Of war announced the blooming time.
The Nation weeps as il lays away all that
is mortal of that glorious flower. But
the memory of that greatness remains like
the perfume of passing rose.-Er.

had Men, but Good Poets.

A singular fact about hymnology is
that many excellent hymns have been
waitten by men who were either not
religious at all Or whose claims to
religion rested on very slight founda-
tions. Addison was never celebrated
for the depth Of his poety, but. two Of
the best hymns in the language are
accredited to him. The Spacious
Firmament on High" and "When All
Thy Mercies, Oh Ny God" Moore
was not quite as noted for the depth
of his religions feeling as was Addison,
but the finest lyric Of religious character
TO be found in English or any other
tongue, "Come Ye Disconsolate," was
from his pen, and has given more
comfort to thousands than perhaps it
ever did to its anthor. The celebrated
hymn, !" Come Thou Fount Of Every
Blessing WAS written by an irreligious
man, while Popes ! "Vital Spark Of
Heavenly Flame, was q translation
from Q pagan poem said to have been
written BY the Emperor Hadrian. All
these were good, not because their
authors were bad men, but because they
were good poets, and besides, had an
occasional flash Of genuine religions

with pure sentiment and good taste.
