The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1886-07-08


Ohio, Gen. Logan was hewing a swatE
of Republicanism through the ranks
of his country's enemies upon the bat
tle-feld. And shall Eve, the people
of Ohio" cut him off now =? 1t is sac
even to contemplate such thing
But the great General will prove ar
uncomplaining martyr. Though we
may meet and express the indignation
of the editors Of Ohio at Gen. Logan
we are sure that no man will hear Lo.
gan express his opinion of that indig-
nation meeting.

The Jackson delegation to the Com
mon Pleas Convention at Portsmouth
had a full representation, and went tc
Portsmouth in the belief that there
would not be anything Of feeling dis
played by the adherents of either OF
the candidates for the Judgeship. On
arriving at Portsmouth, however ii
was found that the opponents Of Mr.
Dever were very active, and making q
bitter fight against him. When the
Lawrence delegation arrived, with a
number of old and experienced politi-
clans, the trouble commenced. This
was an excellent delegation, taken as
a whole. A red-headed young man
named Ross furnished the fire, FL. V.
Wilson furnished the brains, and HI.
S. Neal the oratory. There was a
lively tilt between the gentlemen from
Lawrence and Messrs. E. F. Draper
and Dan. J. Ryan, Of Scioto. Mr..
Draper seemed to be the coolest Of all.
These delegations were divided, though
the line Of division in the Lawrence
delegation was placed far to one side,
Lindsey Kelley being the only Dever
man among them.
Mr.. Neal came, without doubt, as a
dark horse candidate, but it was evi-
dent that the Convention would not
want any of that kind of candidates,
which fact perhaps caused our old
friend to display more feeling than he
would like to have remembered. There
was an affectation of surprise that
Jackson should not be against Scioto,
but this was all on the part of Law
renee. The facts are, that Mr.. Dever
is an old Jackson County boy, and the
family one of active, earnest Republi-
cans, while his opponent, Mr.. Hol-
comb-an excellent and able young
lawyer-was unknown here. It was
but natural, then, that the delegation
should be largely composed of earnest
Dever men. Still, the vote Of Jackson
would not perhaps have been given
solid, had the contest been less bitter,
and the remarks by one or two of the
Lawrence delegation that Jackson
County will be remembered" should
not have been made. Jackson County
is proud in the possession of an excel
lent Judge, and in the courteous treat
ment that has been bestowed by the
District-but we are in pretty good
frame Of mind over here. Lawrence
mas one, possibly two, candidates in
training to succeed Judge Thompson,
after his second term shall have ex-
oired, and Jackson County will only
wait for that candidates nomination
20 go to work to give him thousand
That's the way we feel to-
wards Lawrence. There should be
nothing like bitterness in a Republi-
IAN convention. The Counties in the
District are in the habit Of doing their
luty nobly, and nothing but harmony,
md the interchange fraternal courte-
lies, can perpetuate such state of af-
fairs.
There was but one ballot for the
Lawrence casting all her
7otes save one for Holcomb, Scioto
giving Holcomb four, and the rest for
0ever. Pike and Vinton divided their
votes and Jackson went solidly for
0ever, who was nominated. Mr.. De-
rer is an excellent man, young and
,igorous, and has had long expe-
ience at the bar. He served two
erms, we believe, as Prosecuting At
orney of Scioto County, and is an ex-
ellent lawyer. Jackson County
'ught to, and doubtless will, give him
N immense majority.

The Gallip oils Journal evidently
Ion't admire the Salvation Army. In
N editorial upon the Gallipolis squad
# the Army, it says:
"We believe them, as rule, to be
PERSONS who are too lazy to earn an
lonest living, and who find it easy to
impose on persons and steal the liv-
ry of heaven to serve themselves
nd the devil in It is matter of al
most common knowledge here, that
heir conduct has been such as to
hame the cause they pretend to ad-
-ocate, and should have earned for
hem the distinction Of having been
un out of town with a coat of tar and
Gathers Oh them"
Let US admit, for the present pur-
'ose, that all the above is strictly true.
rhe fact then arises that all these
'eople, or nearly all, were in the place
'efore the " Army" came, as but the
Ulcers are sent from town to town.
1he meetings of the squad only serv-
d to call the attention Of the town to
he evil which existed before. Then
