"What is left but warqu


Iquoted TO him the words of a New
five points, and government securities
go down five, the moneyed interests OF
the country will squelch the politi-
Clans" But Mr.. Tilden could not see
it in that light. He preached peace
continually. 1t was his own urging
that led the Democratic House to put
the supply bills on their passage ahead
of the usual unexpectedly formal
notice from the householder that if the
burglars could make arrangements
with the policeman outside no resist
ance would be found within. While
the election result was in doubt l went
to Mr.. Tilden with the proposition of
the Young Mems Democratic Club,
that they should give him serenade
as President-elect, and that he, in ac-
acknowledgement, should claim the elec-
ton. His answer was this:
"That would not be decent"
1t was in this spirit that he approved
of the visiting statesmen. So he refused
to take the oath of Office when counsel
ed by others; and he told his reasons
pretty plainly for the conduct that to
more aggressive spirits seemed to peace
full altogether.
"Let us not do anything that will
count against the reputation of the
Democratic party; let us do nothing
that will enable enemies to charge us
with lack of patriotism"
He was keenly alive to the fact that
the Democratic party was looked upon
as the non-patriotic party of the war
time, and he felt for this reason-out of
love for the party that was so much to
him-called upon even to suffer self
sacrifice to show loyalty, to show that
the Democracy was true to the institu-
tions. He was for peaceful arbitration
for the reason chiefly that he knew
that the slightest suggestion of armed
resistance would raise the cry that the
old devil of rebellion was on hand again
in O new form.

The Republicans met in county con-

motions of selecting county ticket and
transacting other business Pertaining to

ington township, was called TO the
chair, and Geo. H. Poulson, of Liberty,

pointed delegates to the State Conven-

also selected to attend the Congression.
al Convention to be held at Defiance to-
day. The following county ticket was
then nominated by acclamation, the
usual mode of nominating Republican
tickets in this county: Sheriff, Levi
Hoy, of Harrison township; Commiss-
ioner, VIM. Bowers, of Harrison town
ship; Surveyor, Geo. Philphot, of Da-
mascus township; Recorder, Geo. Poul-
son, of Washington township, and for
Infirmary Director, DIR. J. M. Shoe

through with don't-care-who feeling,
only that the ticket be filled with ac-
ceptable Republican names. The ticket
is good Republican offspring-and will

Good rhinr to Cut out.

The Appointment Division of the In
terror Department has made compare
tive statement of the nu'nber of days OF
absence granted during the calendar
years of 1884 and 1885. The former
year was the last under Republican
Administration and the latter is the
first year of the present AdmiDistra-
ton. There are about 8, 400 persons en-
ployed in the department. From the
statement it is found that in the year
1884 there was granted lOS,T days
leaves of absence. In 1885 there were
SS, 1856, leaving a balance in favor of the
number granted during the present Ad-
ministration of Is, 1858 days, which, be-
ing reduced to working days, would
amount to the services of forty-one
clerks for one year at an average salary
ofS1 900 per year, making SAL 900. The
remarkable feature shown by the state
ment is that 10000 days of the 1000
leaves granted in 1884 came alone from
the Pension Bureau under Colonel Dud-
ley's Administration.

ONE of President Cleveland's latest
vetoes is of a bill providing for a bridge
over an arm of Lake Champlain, to
connect two Vermont towns, on the
ground that two years ago a bill of the
same title and containing precisely the
same provisions had been approved and
became q law. Our brilliant law ma
kers did not know that such law had
been passed only two years ago. 1t is
such instance of careless legislation as
this that lead the people to applaud
and uphold the Presidents numerous
vetoes. There is reason for them. An
other of his late vetoes is of a bill for
an $4,000 building in a Southern town
to accommodate the post office, which
does business requiring five clerks.
The rent now paid for ample facilities
for the office $500 year.

How do the Republican howlers of
the North account for the genuine tenn
perance sentiment in the Sotitli.-that
''solid South" which the frantic yaw-
pers in the North would have us believe
Is entirely given over to treason, drunk
enness and the devil? In the several
Southern States there are now nearly
five hundred counties that are strictly
enforcing local option actually adopted
by the votes of the people. Here in
Ohio the Republican Pharisees straddle
the temperance question and attempt
to ride it as political hobby, but they
make n mockery of it by talking tenn
perance and voting with the Republican
party-the party that is the enemy of
all that is good, honest and pure. In
the South the temperance question is
absolutely divorced from politics, and
no one uses it as cloak to hide some
partisan deformity. Republican tenn
perance blatherskites in the North can
60 to wicked Dixie and get pointers on
true morality that might cure them of
hypocricy.

HE DEFIED THE DEITY.
A Story Of Boastful Physicians HUI
miliations and Bereavement.

A gentleman residing at MiddIetown,
who was visiting in Sullivan County
last week, was attracted by eight head
stones in little grass grown cemetery
near Fallsburg, all of which stood in a
row and were exactly alike. He got
out of his wagon to look at them, and
found that they were all children of a
we'll known physician, and that all
were grown when stricken down, and
that the dates on the headstones show
ed that the first one died November %,
1861, and the other seven between that
date and December Is following, or
that the entire family Of eight children
had died within eight weeks.
When speaking of the matter to
friends that day, he was told the his
tory of the case, which is regarded in
that neighborhood as a visitation of
Providence in punishment for defiance
of the Deity.
The story as told is that in 1861 there
was scourge of diphtheria in that
neighborhood, and the physician was
kept busy treating patients suffering
from that disease. He was very sue
cessful, and gained such confidence in
his skill that he began to boast that he
could cure any case, and went SO far
that he "defied God Almighty to pro-
duce case of diphtheria he could not
cure.n In less than week his young
est child was seized with the disease,
and although he exercised his skill to
the utmost, having not only profession
al pride but fathers love to urge him
to do his best, his boy grew worse and
died. One after another his children
'sickened and died, until all were gone,
and laid side by side in the little grave
yard near Fallsburgh. But one child
was left, q married daughter, but in a
few weeks she, too, was stricken down
and became victim to the dread di-
SeaSe.

Senator Beck Talks Sensibly of the
Mexican MISUNDERSTANDING.

BALTIMORE, August 12.-The Sun OF
today has the following interview with
Senator Beck ou the proceedings in
Mexico against A. X. Cutting. The
Senator informed the Sun correspond
ent that he does not believe any man
with ordinary intelligence can questio n
for one moment the aggressiveness OF
the.present Administration in battling
with all public questions, be they for
eign or domestic. He stated most en-
phatically that there is no ground for
doubling the courage of the State De-
partment in dealing with the Cutting
case; on the contrary, the Senator is in
clined to think that the Secretary of
State has, if anything, been too aggres-
sive in the Mexican matter. He says
that the United Statas should try and
induce Mexico to repeal the law which
renders an American citizen punishable
in Mexico for his utterances in the
United States. 1t is bad law and will
create mischief so long as it remains
upon the Mexican statute book; but
we can not gain anything by declaring
war against Mexico, for if we did we
would simply place ourselves in the at
titude of big man picking a quarrel
with small boy.

that their services shall be required.
1t is not, it is understood, for the pur-

move to ascertain what additional force
can be made available to cooperate
with the regular military in case trouble
