A TERRIBLE snow storm prevail ed over a large portion of the north and west during the past week. A heavy wind accompanied the fall of snow and trains have been showed in and a general stoppage of business prevailed. On the Great Lake the storm was un- usually severe, number of vessels were wrecked and nearly a half-a- hundred lives were lost. In many places the thermometer indicated 20 degrees below zero. By way of comparison, in Arizona the tenn perature has besn just right for comfort and the air cool and bra cing and no man need lose an hours work or postpone a jour
 ney on account of indictment weather. But We have scarcely anything but climate to brag about.

AN Eastern exchange says: The climate of Florida is a more power ful foe to Geronimo and his band than all the forces of the United States army. The enervating cli- mate and their own filth are kill ing them off at the rate of four a day. There are 454 bucks, squaws and papooses at Fort Marion, while Geronimo and a dozen others are at Fort Pickens. They are a hard lot, and it is considered un- safe to give them much liberty.

PowderIy and Anarchy.

WILKEsBARRE, PENN, Aug. 23.-
At a picnic of the Knights of La
Dor at Luzerne Grove to-day Grand
Master Workman T. V. Powderly
made an address, in which he
strongly denounced the rioting and
violence carried on in the name of
the Knights of Labor. He emphat-
ically declared he was not a candi-
date for any political Office, and
would not accept the highest office
in the United States lift were of
fered to him. Mr.. Powderly also
said: "The Anarchists will never
obtain a foothold in the Knights of
Labor. Anarchy is destructive to
civil liberty, and no honest work
man can afford to identify himself
with an organization which has fol
its object the destruction of life and
property. The principles of the
Knights of Labor are grand princi.
pies, and no citizen need be asham-
ed of them"

Judge Martin D. Toilet is one of
a family of six sons, of which John
F. Follett of Cincinnati and Judge
Follett of Licking county are two.
He was born in Vermont and emf
grated to Ohio in 1886, locating in
Licking county. Judge Follett is a
Marietta college graduate and never
held a public office until elected to
his present position as Judge of the
Supreme Court three years ago. He
was defeated for Congress soon af-
ter thewar and never tried his hand
at it since.
J. w. Cruikshank is one of the
leading dealers and importers of
Holstein cattle in the state. He is
called the luckiest man in Miami
county and the fact that he is on
the ticket is looked upon as good
evidence that it will be elected.
Twice he was elected clerk of the
courts of Miami county, which is re-
liably Republican, and three years
ago was nominated and elected
Clerk of the Supreme Court.
Leroy D. Brown, nominee fol
school commissioner, is a Butler
county man and has been u OF
the foremost educators of the state

Louis D. Ludwig is a substantial
German and well known in Cleve-
land. He will add strength to the
ticket and is sure to poll the sole
vote of his race.

Mr.. Cleveland seems disposed TO
hold the people to their bargain in
electing him President. His plat
form was "honest and efficient GOV
eminent, "whichis usually express
ed in the hackneyed phrase civil
service reform" He has been trying
to adhere to it, and has. done so
very fairly under the circumstances
and about as well as the politicians
in congress would allow. These
don't like the way he is living up
to his pledges and try to persuade
him away from his policy by say
ing the people do not favor it. He
says he believes they do but wheth-
er they do or not, he intends to
live up to his part of the bargain.
If the people fall away from the
faith that is their responsibility.
He should hew to hat line.

The latter party is organized to
closely watch the two old parties,
and to cast their votes for that par
ty hat best serves their material IN
~terests. In the two old parties there
is a large, unorganized, purchase
BILE vote. This vote, says the Green
vile Democrat, is divided between
the old parties in proportion to the
amount of corruption used and the
skill in using it.
The old parties being so nearly
equally divided they dare not ig-
more the Liquor interest: The very
existence of each party depends on
their exciting the other in theil
subserviency to the liquor saloon
The politics of the State has been
changed five times in twelve years.
The following figures will show
how it is done.
If the liquor alliance cast theil
votes fer the Republicans it viii
give them a majority of 14,000, but
if thrown to the Democrats thcil
majority will be 5000. Thus it is
seen that an insignificant party, il
numbers, but powerfulin mischief
is ruling our great State in politics

Everything passed off harmoni-
ously at the Toledo State conven-
ton, except the nomination of Ed.
Nealis, for member Of Board of
Public Works. His nomination
was a mistake but was readily cor
rected. In Republican nominations
Of bad men, mistakes are never
corrected. The candidate is white
washed and held up as a model OF
Republican purity and the party
vote for him. That is the difference
between the work of democratic
conventions and republican con-
ventions.

Democrats WHO Should be
Gai4i Aside.
IN. Y. SUM-

All Congressman who worked ard
emily for the outrageous River and
Harbor Bill should be laid aside in
the nominations for the Fifticth Con-
greas.
All who have made themselves Of
fensiye partisans of the scheme which
proposes to substitute competitive lit
erary examinations for political con-
v%ictions and political labor as the
means of carrying on the Democratic
Republican system Of government,
should be laid aside.
All who have supported such plans
Of Capitalization as the B,air Educa-
ton bill should be laid aside. They
do not hold the vital, fundamental
principle of Democracy.
Only true Democrats, men of demo-
cratic ideas, supporters of economy in
all political affairs, par;isans of self
government and democratic progress,
should be nominated as the Democrat
ic candidates for Congress in 1886.
That is the only road 10 d complete
aud lasting Democratic victory in 1886.

In 1854 men voted for Grover
Cleveland who retain only boyish
recollections of the war and who
had no share in the preiudices and
emotions of the rebellion period.
These young men cannot be stirred
by the most fervent appeals to think
and act as their fathers did. The
whole scene has changed forever.
The wal generation is fast passing
away and men with new ideas and
new interests have taken their pla-
ces. At least twenty-five per cent.
of the men who will vote in 1888
were not born when the war closed
at Appomattox.

Hon. John Mcbride, the candi-
date for secretary Of state, was born
of humble parents in Wayne Co.,
July 25, 1854. He moved to Mass
illon, Stark county, in 1859, and at
9 years of age commenced work in
a coal mine. At 16 he Joined the
miners union, the largest labor or
%ganization in the state, and in 1888
was by unanimous vote elected
president Of the union and again
i'll 1884, 1885 and 1886. In 1881 he
was nominated by the Democrats
of Stark county for representative
and though his party lost thecoun-
ty by oyer 50Ovotes, he was defeat
ed by only SO. In 1888 he was
again u candidate and was this
time elected by nearly 7Q0majority,
and was again elected in 1855, run
ming far ahead Of his ticket. In the
sixty-siXth and present Legislature
he was recognized as one Of the
leaders on the Democratic side and
was ever ready to support any mea-
sure looking tOthe better protection
and elevation of labor. His party
friends regarded him as a safe and
conservative leader, and the labor
organizations of the state as their
most trusted friend. In legislation
affecting agriculturalin interests he ia
vcred the farmers. He was the au-
thor of the bill which gave the first
appropriation to the Gettysburg
memorial fund and he gave mater
ial assistance toward securing an
appropriation last winter to finish
this work. By his counsel in labor
troubles and official conduct he has
done more than any other man to
bring employer and employe to-
! gether and to secure the adjustment
offuture differences by and through
arbitration.
His personal character is above
reproach, and in his business deal
ings he is noted for his integrity
and honesty. He is not noted as a
public speaker, and yet speaks as a
man who feels the justice Of lis
convictions and is of pleasing ad-
dress. He is a well built man, OF
dorid complexion, about feet Sim
ches in height and possesses a
bright and CHEEKY countenance. He
