VOLUME III.

OUR youthful and inexperienced County
Judge, who represented Geo. II. Duke by
proxy in the Republican convention on Sat
urday last, rather besmeared himself while
attempting to clear himself and his friends
of the ring in misery from the charges that
are being openly brought against them.
While mounted upon the rostrum before the
staunsh republican delegates, to which party
his worship says he would die to save" but
to which ho is more Of disgrace than an
honor. in All elaborate display of soft soap
and wind he endeavored to lay before the
convention that these charges were false, and
that the county expenditures were now and
had been in the past carried on with the
most rigid economy. lie further said that il
the ranrbmcn would only step down to the
clerk 's Office he would show them facts and
figures. all in the space oi r.rhap. five or ten
minutes, that would convince them that
his statements were true. Now what man is
there in Delta county We would like to know
who has the ability to make thorough e1.

plying himself 10 his task for several months

plosing much time aud labor. the fact Of

he made such statements. But perhaps If
the Judge is thoroughly posted on the
affairs Of the county that he eau take stand

also and make an explanation as 10 what
large portion of aur county debt was used
for. Bnt no, the latter seems To lie too great

As an illustration of one of the means by
which the ring is endeavorins to gain inhu-

IA number of men, and one in particular, un-

praise to the skies. They use the county

methodfSts Are Urged to Vote for q Proh1bl-
ZIONIST on Denominational Grounds.
Youngstown, o.. Special.
Since the speech of the decoy candidate, Leon
ard in this city. the Prohibitionists have been
making quiet canvass of the Republican Meth
odists of the city, urging them to vote the Pro-
hibition ticket. The argument used is this:
Leonard is a magnificent man and an earnest and
devout Methodist, who has gone into the political
fight for the sake of his conscientious views on
the subject of temperance. They admit that he
entertains no hope of an election, but say that a
full vote in cities where Methodism is especially
strong will be expected by him. and that such a
vote here would be very gratifying and compll-
mentary to him. They therefore urge Method
lists to scratch Foraker from the head Of the
ticket and substitute the name of Leonard, for
the mere purpose of complimenting him on his
candidacv.
The principle of prohibition does not enter
into their argument, but it is simply trade,
suggesting the tactics of New York city. The
Methodists are very strong in this city, and
many of them are enthusiastic Republicans
One of the members is very wealthy and liberal.
He is a redhot Prohibitionist and has
opened his pocket-book in their cause. About
ten years ago he engaged to serve as a Demo
cratic candidate for Congress. and made a lively
canvas of the district spending $40.0 600 to cover
the expenses of the campaign. He has now
taken hold of the Prohibition movement in the
Western Reserve, and engaged the services of a
disappointed Republican politician to help him.
The ministers of the city, including the two
Methodist pastors are earnestly opposing his
efforts, and are urging their congregations to
not be deceived by Leonardism in their interest
in the cause of temperance.

prayer, the preacher said the prayer itself was
offered by Paul as the evangelist or pastor for
his church. 1t suggests to us the thought OF
reciprocal prayer on the part OF the preacher and
his flock. Pray for u.s. was request that Paul
often made. He did not forget to pray for those
among whom he labored, for if he asked their
prayers he also assured them that he did not
cease to pray for them; that he prayed always
for them. 1t is one of the sweetest privileges
and grandest helps in the church for pas tor and
people to remember each other at throne or

prayer for one another would have its hallowed

apostle for the Christians to 60 unto perfection.

Religion has its seat within the soul. It is in
ternal. 1t is what the life is to the tree or the
body. But if the tree have life. there will be ex-
ternal indications of that life, and if the
body be alive. there will be outward manifesto
tons of that life So with the soul; if the life of
God be really there the external manifestation
will surely appear. Love seeks deeds, benevo-
lence seeks objects; faith will be energetic and
heroic; hope will be unselfsh; belief will seek to
propagate itself. The apostle makes the whole
Scripture revelation, and the whole of the Chris
tan experience consists in such furnishing of
the Christian thar he shall be prepared for all
good works. We need higher standard of
Christian perfection, the standard Paul sets, not
that of belief alone in Christian experience, but
perfection of good works.
The closing lines of the sermon were: FINALLY,
fort. be of one mind, live in peace, and the God
of love and peace shall be with YOU"
