One of the sweet girl graduates who recent

and almost smothered in flowers lavished
upon her by admiring friends, read an essay
on Love of Country" After quoting the
entire well remembered lines beginning
"Breathes there a man with soul 50 dead"
she added about a dozen prose lines of her
own composition, in the course of which she
said that patriotism was real nice" 1t is re-

the essay was originally handed for inspection,
after noting the amount of poetry quoted,

MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST 9. 1885
Congressional Candidates,

Pickaway county republicans in mass
convention Saturday, selected their dele
gates To the congressional convention which
conyeneS here the 18th inst. The friends
of General Kennedy claim that the delega-
ton Is solid for him. yet admit that there
are several personal friends of General
Keifer on the delegation. Why keifers
friends should be placed upon a Kennedy
delegation, is more than We can tell, yet to
"a man up a tree" it may he perfectly clear.
II seems that there i quite claim with
confidence" game being played i'll the dis
trict by some of General Kennedy's over
1alous friends, that is hardly warranted by
the facts. There is claim also that the
delegation from this county will not
be- solid for Keifer; perhaps it will not be-
but it should. Ii should not be 20 in any
hostility 10 Kennedy. for Kennedy is honor
able. worthy. capable. ami a republican of
the true mettle. eminently fitted 10 repre-
sent tine great Eighth district of Ohio: but
Clark county should be solid for her own
candidate provided that he is equally cap
no man can deny. Who General keifer is
and what he is capable of doing in congress-
need not be told the voters of this district;
his record speaks for him and stands TO his
credit and to the honor of Springfield and
Clark county. Let the candidate from
this county be who lac may, if he
is honest and capable he should
have a solid delegation at his back. Clark
is the largest county in the district has a
greater diversity and more extensive indus
tries than any county in the district, is the
central county, and more largely interested
in national legislation, especially upon the
question of tariff, than any county in the
district
These reasons should be sufficient % i'll
duce every man. who is loyal TO his town,
TO favor solid county delegation. There
should be no question about this matter
there should be no controversy; personal
friendship for Gen. Kennedy should not i'll
duce anyone to attempt to divide the deega-
tion in his favor. We should 20 into the con-
vention and thus present our claims and
our candidate. honestly and fairly, and use
every honorable means 10 secure his nOa-
nation. This being done, the action Of
the convention should be accepted. II Gen
eral Keifer is nominated. every republican
in the district should throw up his hat and
hurrah for the nominee. If General Ken
nedy is nominated, We know the republi-
cans of Clark country are too loyal TO do
otherwise.
