The Right to Shoot.

II is an ordinary affair in country
life for farmer to discharge shot.
gun al trespassers, and he seems to be
unaware of the fact that he can be
convicted Of murder in case the shot
proves fatal. The same impression.
although in less degree prevails in
the city. There are thousands OF
shopkeepers who would not scruple
to shOo& person caught rObbing their
till, and as for housebreaker, there
is scarcely one man in a million who
would not think himself justified in
shooting down the scoundrel at sight.
Yet little reflection should convince
any one that he has no right to shoot
in any of the above cases. The law
on this point is sufficiently explicit.
You are not TO shoot unless in peril Of
your life. and not then unless there Is
no chance Of flight: You may shoot
burgler or highwayman Decause
you have right to infer that the
hurgler or highwayman is armed and
will shoot you, and because you cam
not escape. But you have no right
to shoot the thief whom you may de-
tect in leaving your hall with your
oyercoat, nor the pickpocket whom
you may catch with his hand in your
pocket. The principle upon which
the law is founded is obvious. You
have a moral and legal right to de-
fend you life or the life of fellow
being, but you have no right to be
the judge and executioner in the case
Of a misdemeanor or felony. The
courts exist for the purpose of pun
ishing the crimes of hOusebreaking,
felony, thieying, and fruit stealing,
and when you presume to punish
them you are rightly amenabe to the
law. If it were not for some such
provision, society would fall into
chaos.-PhHa. call.

Gems for Thought.

Large charity doth never soil but
only whitens soft hands.
If we rightly estimate what we
call good and evil we shall find that
it lies much in comparison.
The conscience has to do, not with
fitness or expediency, or advantage,
but with right and wrong.
Hope without action is a broken
staff. We should always hope for
things that are possible and proba-
BILE.
A single man who has health and
can't find livelihood in the world,
doesn't deserve to stay there.
Don't be afraid of wild boys and
girls; they often grow up to be the
best men and women. Wildness is
not viciousness.
Lucky he who has been educated
to bear his fate, whatever it may be,
an early example of uprightness
and childish training in honor.
1t is tastless to seek admiration by
adorning our house or person. let US
adorn our character by the charms of
kindness and aniiability.
One of the finest qualities in hu-
man being is that nice sense of deli
cacy which renders it impossible for
him ever to be an intruder or
bore.
Hope nothing from luck, and the
probability is that you will be so
prepared, so forewarned and fore-
armed, that all shallow observers
will call you lucky.
None are so fond of secrets as those
who do not mem to keep them, such
persons coyet secrets as "A spendthrift
does money, for the purpose of cir.
culation.
The head truly enlightened will
presently have wonderful influence
in purifying the heart, and the heart
really affected with goodness will
c)nduce to the directing of the head,
Hope ID the last thing that dies in
man. and though 1t is exceedingly
decetful. yet it is of this good use to
US, that while we are taveling
through this life, it conducts us in
an easier and more pleasant way to
our journeys end.

Dear SIR II nave been sufferer
for long time with dyspepsia, and

way of medicine, but nothing gave
me any relief. l procured one bottle
of your "ARoMANNA," and had only
been taking it about six days when
began to feel it was doing me good
| told a number of my heighbors
what it had done for me and they
commenced using it, and all agree
with me that it Is the only medicine
that will do all that it is recommend
ed to do. One thing about "ARo
MAMMA" while it is acting and
cleansing the system it does not weak
en-. but builds up, adds new strength
and imparts new vigor. l do not
think L can say too much in favor of
it. You are free to use my name in

merits of "ARoMANNA." 1t will paw

The ThreepLegged Ticket in the Field.
Various reasons and circumstances come
pelIed large number of Democrats in Ohio
to declare open hostility to the denomination
of Governor Bishop and Liautenant.Gov-
ernor Fitch, who had been elected in ls77. By
some it was surmtsed that Governor Bishop,
II he were elected, would enter the field for
President In 1880, and events proved that he
was q candidate for President that year.
Dissatisfaction with some of the Governors
appointments created bitter feeling toward
him, but, perhaps the true reason Of his de-
feat for denomination was the opposition
rin Cuyahoga County to Lteutenant-Gov-
ernor Fitch'a renomination. He had
antagonized the wishes of large majority
Of the active Democrats in Cleveland by ops
posing reorganization project. They unhes-
itatingiy declared they would not support
him, and the nomination of Governor Bishop
would carry with it denomination of Gene
eraI Fitch. The opposition In Cuyahoga
brought out 90 q candidate against Bishop
General A. ". Rice, OF Putnam. and when the
convention assembled at Columbus there was
o warm and animated struggle. James b
steedman, of Toledo, was the presiding officer.
It became evident that there was q warm
feeling among some of the Democrats for
GENERAL THOMAS EWING,
ofFsirneld. and when the contest was hottest
and between Bishop and Rice. Ewing's name
was swung In 81 compromise candidate.
The Thurman-Thompaon men made o desner-
ate rally for Rice. but the. e.Bishop people, sees
ing that their candidate was losing ground,
wheeled and voted for Ewing and nominated
him. THE scene in that convention that day
at that time was one Of the widest ever
known in the State. After EWing's nomine.

After the nominations had been made a reso-
luton instructing the delegates to vote as a
unit for George H. Pendleton for President
was unanimously adopted. Mr.. PendIeton,
being in the city, was invited TO come before
the convention. Colonel G. w. McCcok and
Hon. d. Tarball, of Brown, were appointed a
committee to escort him to the nall. When he
was presented to the convention by Mr.1ewett,
with some remarks, Mr.. Pendleton was most
enthusiastically received. He made brief
speech, thanking the Democracy of his native
State for the high com pliment they had paid
him.

Preparing for the Greeley Fiasco.
The State Convention of 1872 was held in
the city of Cleveland in what was then the
skating rink, on Euclid avenue. The ar
rangements for the reception and entertain-
ment of the delegates were very complete,
and reflected great credit upon the Democ-
on the 2Sth OF June. On the 9th the state
Central Colnmittee met and designated Oxro
]. Dodds, OF Cincinnati, as temporary Chair
man. Hon. Hugh 5. Jewett of Muskingum,
was designated rs the permanent Chairman.

Democrats was. for. Secretary of State, Gem

elected to the Democratic National Conven-
tion by the State Convention were: John A.
McMahon. of Montgomery; Henry B. Payne,
of cuyahoga: Chiffon A. White, of Brown,
and NJ. A. Daugherty, of Fairfield.
The motion to instruct the delegates to vote
at the convention for the nomination of
Greeley and Brown caused tremendous ex-
element and an acrimonious debate, but IL
was finally carried, and Ohio voted in the
National Convention for Greeley. There was,
of course, not as great enthusiasm for the
editor of the Tribune among the Democracy

1oyally fell into line and supported the ticket.

prejudiees and refrained from going TO the
polls in October and November.

Harmony, That Most Desirable Thing, Is

Tho party in Ohio in 1858 was far from being
harmonious. There was much objection in
tho State to Mr.. Buchanan's policy on the
question of the admission of Kansas and the
slavery in the Territories question, but the
state Convention resolved that they would
not recognize as test of mans Democracy
his previous position upon the Kansas ques-
tIon, and accepted the bill known as the
MONTGOMERY or conference bill, recognizing
the right of the people In the Territories to
decide finally and for themselves the question
of whether the State should be slave or be
free, embracing a little of the ideas of both
"Buck" and the "Little Giant" DR.. George

aster to the party.
To be brief. After many ballots Ohio found
that IL could not nominate Pendletons and
his name was Withdrawn. The state for one
or two ballots cast its vote miscellaneously.
However, on the next ballot. when Ohio was
called, Colonel q. W. MoCook arose and an
nouneed the vote of the State for Horatto
Seymour. Vallandigham, in behalf of Ohio,
indorsed McCook's new nomination, and the
convention soon became bedlam, and o.
stampede began to seymour. The sharp face
OF Samuel ]. Tilden grew sharper, and Sam
Cox, a "Buckeye abroad" wanted to know
what Ohio meant; that New York did not
want the candidate. &C. Seymour, who was
prestding officer of the convention, peremp-
torily declined, declaring he would not
accent. He was forced from the plat
form and compelled finally TO ac-

the nominee for vice-President. The Ohio
delegation insisted that General G. W. Nor

There was great struggle in the state Con-
vention of 1884 between the Vallandigham
and Anti-VallandIghAm Democrats. or,
rather. OF the conservative Union element
with the peace element of the party. The
struggle for the delegRteship at large to the
National Convention at Chicago, which sub
sequently nominated General Mcclellan for
President and Pendleton for Vice-President,
was bitter one. The giants of the party were
pitted against one another. George Rex, of
Wayne, was Chairman of the convention.
William Allen, George II. Pendleton, Allen g.
Thurman and Rufus p. Raaney were chosen
delegates at large to the National Conven-
ton.
On motion OF DR.. George Fries of Hamilton,
William w. Armstrong, then of Seneca, was
renominated by acclamation for Secretary of
State, and after ballotings the following gen.
tlemen were selected as candidates: Supreme
