A Relief for Tired Eyes.

In these days Of study and sedentary
work, requiring much use Of the eyes, they
often become 80 tired that they refuse to do
good work This is particularly true when
the work is done in a poor light, or when 1t
is very fine work. Few eyes will bear such
treatment for any length Of time without
being spoiled. The question is often asked
us, "What can be done in such casesp
There is one remedy for tired eyes that has
great value 1t consists in massage with
the hand wet in cold or cool water. Fill a
basin with it, and, standing over IL, wet the
hand with as much cold water as it will hold
and apply it TO the eyes, at the same time
with the thumb and forefnger giving the
eyes a gentle manipulation Continue the
process for four or five minutes several
times day. The results are often almost
marvellous Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Regular Old-Time Republican Camp
Meeting.

A Regular Old-Time Republican Camp
Meeting.
In 1888 the managers of the party con-
oluded to have two-days' convention
a regular Republican camp-meeting-so
that they would have plenty of time to
talk the thing over, and fix things up in
such shape as to avoid another knock
out. Hence the convention was called to
meet on the 5th and 9th of June, 1888, in
Columbus. At the temporary organiza-
ton ON the first day State Senator VOL
colt was made temporary Chairman, and
on the second day United States Senator
John Sherman presided as permanent
Chairman.
Judge j. B. Foraker was nominated for
Governor by acclamation, he being un-
derstood to be the choice of Governor
Foster, and the anti-Foster men having
failed to unite upon any one against him.
It had been the intention TO spring Sher-
man on the Convention and to nominate
him with whereas, but the Foster men
got wind of the plot and knocked it cold
by placing Sherman in the chair, where
he would be in position to sit down on
any move of the sort.
At this convention the party not only
maintained its advanced position on the
liquor question, but Invent step further
than 1t had gone the year before. At that
time the people had not been educated
up to the principles of the Pond, Scott
and Dow laws, and the conse quencewas
that Notwithstanding the brilliant cam
paign made by Judge Foraker, and the
very weak one made by Judge Hoadly.
men of both parties were astonished to
find that the Democratic candidate for
Governor had been elected by 1888
majority.

Governor Foster Victorious Over Book
walter.
The very foolish idea OF holding State
Convention away off at one side of the
State, to the great Inconvenience of a
majority of those who attend such gath
erings, was again indulged in by the Re-
publicans in 1881, and the assemblage was
was billed for Cleveland on the sth day
of June of that year. A. w. Jones, of
Youngs town, was the temporary Chair
man, and in his speech he reviewed the
history sof the party. On reassembling
after recess, Hon. John Sherman presided
as permanent Chairman.
Governor Foster was renominated by
acclamation. A very lively fight now
sprung up over the nomination for Lieu
tenant-Governor, in which a portion of
the Hamilton County delegation showed
a disposition to go for any body to beat
their man Seasongood again. The wran-
gle finally resulted in the nomination Of
Mr.. Richards. of Jefferson County.
Tom Campbell sprung the name of
Nicholas Longworth on the convention
for Supreme Judge, aud he was nomi-
mated with hurrah. Then the Hamilton
County crowd let out the tremendous
yell with which they had been charged
for the past two days, and all joined in
and helped them. When quiet was once
more restored George X. Nash was re-
nominated for rAttorney-General,J Joseph
Turney for Treasurer of State and George
Paul for Board of Public Works.
Fosters majority over Bookwalter was
"a, ,s2o, while the other majorities ran
from about $4,000 to $4,000. The Legis-
lature was also Republican by nearly two
to one.

How Titles Are Manufactured.
In 1878 the Republican State Conven-
tion was held in Cincinnati on the 10Th
day of June, and Judge John Welsh, of
Athens, was the temporary Chairman.
When the convention reassembled after
the noon recess, Judge William Lawrence
was announced as permanent Chairman.
Right here is where 81 Field got his title
as Judge. The temporary Chairman, in
appointing committee to escort Judge
Lawrence to the chair, announced the
name of Judge 8. N. Field, of Columbus,
as q member of that committee. The
convention just roared, and ST has been
Judge ever since, but I don't know
whether Judge Welsh ever discovered
Just where the fun came in.
Colonel Milton Barnes, for Secretary of
State, and Judge William White, for Su-
preme Judge, were both renominated by
exclamation, and George Paul was nomi-
mated for Board Of Public Works, when
the convention adjourned.
The majority for the head of the ticket
that year was only 3, ,154. was member
of the State Executive Committee in that
campaign, and a couple of weeks before
the election Isucceeded in convincing the
Chairman and Secretary that we were In
danger of defeat, and that the only way
to save ourselves was to send some men
to the Western Reserve and ~frighten her
people. This was done; reasonably
fair vote was polled in the Reserve coun-
ties, and we got through; bat not by the
10000 majority that our people about
headquarters were claiming.
The Democrats had redistricted the
State SO as to give their opponents five
members sure, with one or two in doubt,
but the Republicans elected nine ont of
the twenty members of Congress at the
election in 1878.

The Last Two Can.paigns Which Close
This History.

The Last Two Campaigns Which Close
This History.
The incidents connected with the cam-
paign of 1884, when Robinson was elected
Secretary of State over the Democratic
nominee, Mr.. Newman, as well as that of
1885, when Foraker again crossed swords
with Hoadly and defeated him, are too
familiar swith the general newspaper
reader to justify me in alluding to them
in detail. A Presidential campaign has
always healed all dissensions and closed
up tine ranks OF the Republican party of
been her troubles, and to the
Blaine boom may be attributed the
success of the State ticket in 1854,
for the party had not yet recovered from
the effects of it's advanced step on the
liquor question. In the midst of Ma
tional contest between the two great
parties of the country, Ohio Republicans
are always ready to bury home and State
affairs for the time being; hence every
four years a kind of general reunion takes
place, and all hatchets are buried till the
fight with the common enemy is over.
Last year, when Foraker took command
of the Republican forces again, instead of
shattered and demoralzed hosts of 'S2
and 's3, he found the old army all in line
and eager for the fray. Whether this
condition of things will continue de-
pends somewhat on what manner of Ad-
ministration our young Governor shall
give us.
The most prominent figure in the Re
publican party of Ohio to-day is Senator
John Sherman-not SO much because of
any extraordinary qualities as a stateS-
man, perhaps, as because of his long ex
perience in public life. He is very as
tute. cool, shrewd man, and has always
had an eye to the main chance, both POI
litically and financially. lie has Presi-
DENTAL hopes.
Probably the greatest as well as the
most lovable man the Republican party
of Ohio has produced was James A. Gar
field. AS a popular debater Mr.. Garfield
had no equal in the Republican party of
the United States, unless possibly it
might have been James G. Blaine in his
palmy days. His grandeur and stateli-
ness on the rostrum were peculiarly
captivating, and Garfield left good i'm
preston wherever he went. Then his
great sympathy and kindness of heart
won the affections of all who knew him
well. He was indeed great, good man.
But time and space will not admit of
my dwelling upon the character and Pc
culiarities of the many eminent men pro-
duced by the Republican party OF Ohio
since its organization thirty-one years
ago. At another time may take up this
theme and give it the consideration
which it deserves.
L will leave this hastily written, sketchy
history of the Republican party Of Ohio
right here, subject, of course, to the criti-
cism of the old fellows who know more
about it than l do, but not to the ami
madVersions of the kids who were pulling
in their mothers arms when the grand
party of freedom and equal rights was
born. TEGuMsER.

showed Under BY a Liquor Plank.
Columbus was favored with the con-
vention for 1882, and it met in the Opera
House. William Cappeller INDUCED in an
oratorical fight before announcing that
the Hon. D. A. Holhngsworth would act
as temporary Chairman. This was under
stood to be a small boom for the Congress
sional aspirations of Hollingsworth, but
subsequent events demonstrated that the
powder was wasted.
After recess General Bob Kennedy was
made permanent Chairman, and, of
course, Robert made the ablest effort of
the day in accepting the distinguished
honor. After Kennedy had stirred up
the animals Major Charles Townsend was
renominated for Secretary of State by ac-
Eclamation, as was Judge John H. Doyle
for Supreme Court, and after good deal
of a contest J. A. Flickinger was nomi-
mated for Board of Public Works.
General Noyes and Judge West were
pressed into the service for speeches,
after which Hon. T. J. Pringle presented
the report of the Committee on Resolu-
tions.. One of the resolutions placed the
party in advance of public sentiment on
the liquor question, and the consequence
was that the ticket nominated on that oc-
casion was showed under to the tune OF
about 10000 majority.

Dennison, Foster and Garfield Appointed
Delegates.
The convention of 1880 was held in
Comstock's Opera House, Columbus, with
Major William Mckinley as temporary
Chairman. Hon. Ben Butterworth was
the permanent Chairman, and Hon. w.
NJ. Bateman Chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions. One of the resolutions
was highly eulogistic of Senator Sherman
as the coming man for President, and
gave rise to some opposition, but it was
finally adopted amid good deal of
squirming on the part of his enemies.
Messrs. Dennison, Bateman, Foster and
Garfield, were appointed delegates at
large to the Chicago National Convention.
j. F. Mack presented the names of four
Blaine men, one Of whom was General
Beatty, as candidates for delegates at
large, and they received about two hun
dred votes each against the Sherman can
didates. Charles II. Grosvener and S. s.
Warner were then chosen as Senatorial
Electors.
There was sharp contest for the nomi-
nation for Secretary of State, which was
finally narrowed down to Major Charles
Townsend and Captain J. C. Donaldson.
Townsend was nominated on the third
ballot. Judge McIl3aine was nominated
for Supreme Judge, Dwight Crowel for
Clerk of the Supreme Court; s. r. Hos
mer for Board of Public Works, and Mr..
De Wolf for School Commissioner.
Townsend's majority for Secretary of
State was 1902, while that of Garfield in
November for President was $4,000. The

music 1u uAuSlc HALL
We now come down to the convention
of 1879, which was held In Music Hall,
Cincinnati, and here is where Charles
Foster did his first fine work in State pol
itics. It was well known to those who
-ere posted at all that very consider
able majority of the delegates elected to
that convention were in favor of the nom
.iDation of Judge Taft for Governor. Fos-
ter and his friends appeared upon the
ground, and, to the astonishment
of every body, when ballot
was had it was found that he
had captured 27s votes-just ex-
actly enough to nominate him. Ever
since that he has had the reputation of
being very shrewd political manager,
and guess he is. He would have shown
not induced him to call of, the dogs when
he put them on the Senatorial trail in the
winter Of lss0-s1.
Seasongood, for Lieutenant-Go Governor,
was in the Foster combination, but Taft's
friends got mad and broke the slate by
nominating General Andy Hickenlooper.
Judge w. w. Johnson was nominated for
Supreme Judge. George K. Nash for At
torney-General, John F. oglevee for
Auditor of State, Joseph Turney for
Treasurer OF. State. and James Fullington
for Board of Public Works.
After the convention adjourned rati-
fcation meeting was held in the hall, at
which General Garfield was the principal
speaker.

had said that he could not stand on a
Hayes platform. Many of the:friends of
the President, who would otherwise have
supported Taft, went back on him, and
the fight became very bitter. There were
quite number of gentlemen in that con-
vention who had soured on Hayes, and
when the resolution indorsing him and.
his Administration SO fully and uncon-
ditionally was adopted, the fate of the
ticket placed upon that platform was to
some extent sealed.
After the adoption of the platform a
ballot for Governor was had, which re-
suited as follows; TAFT, 30S; West, 2361S;
Lawrence, 37k; Warner, 941S. On the
second ballot Taft had 27s, West, s65, and
Warner IS. This was, no doubt, q great
triumph for the friends of President
Hayes; but to those who understood the
bitter feeling that existed in the minds of
many prominent Republicans against the
President, the result gave the October
prospects a blush tint. Then the foolish
Communistic speech Of Judge West in the
evening did not add any thing to his
chances of success on the second Tuesday
of October. So that, taken altogether, the
Republican candidate for Governor was
pretty badly handicapped at the start.
ADDITIONAL CANDIDATES.
The other nominations were Fred
vogeler, of Cincinnati, for Lieutenant-
Governor; Judge Johnson for Supreme
Judge, George K. Nash for Attorney
General, John M. Millikin for Treasurer
of State, J. T. Lukens for School Commits
sioner, Dwight Crowel for Clerk of Su-
preme Court, aud J. w. Lucky for Board
of Public Works.
Bishop was the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party for Governor that year, and
his majority over West was 22,6S3. At
that election franklin County gave ma
jority against West of 2.776. The anti
Hayes feeling in Columbus was very Bit
ter, and many Republicans not only spit
upon the platform but voted against the
ticket.
The Legislature elected in 1877 was also
largely Democratic. Colonel James E.
Neal was made Speaker of the House OF
Representatives, and Allen o. Myers
Clerk of the Senate. So, taken all in all,
the October election in 1877 was Water
loo to the Republican party of Ohio.

They Who Die for the Right Never

The Full Text of President Abraham
Lincoln's Speech at Gettysburg's
Dedication, and Craven
ON the Monument.

Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or any
nation SO conceived and so dedicated,
can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield Of
that war. We are met to dedicate por-
ton OF it as the final resting place of
those who here gave their lives that that
nation might live. It is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this.
But in larger sense we can not dedi-
cate, we can not consecrate, we can not
,hallow this ground. The brave men, liv-
ing and dead, who struggled here have
consecrated it far above our power to add
or detract.
The world will little note nor long re-
member what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here.
1t is for us, the living, rather to be ded-
icated here to the unfinished work that
they have thus far so nobly carried on.
1t is rather for as to be dedicated to the
great task remaining before us-tbat from
these honored dead we take increased de-
votion to the cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion-that
we highly resolve that the dead shall not
have died in vain; that the nation shall,
under God, have new birth of freedom,
and that the Governments Of the people,
by the people, and for the people, shall
not perish from the earth!
