THURSDAY, MARCH %, 1888.

LAST week attention was called to the
fact that the Democratic party of Ohio
was being put in the position of defend
ing the forging of tally-sheets, in the eS-
pecial interest of its boss, John r. Nc
Lean. Up to that time the Gazette had
been mum, but simultaneous with the
appearance of this declaration of THE
CHRONICLE the following had cOnspic-
uOus place in the editorial columns of
the former paper:
The foreman of the jury in the famous Columbus
allysheet fraud cases has reported to the Court
that the jury can not agree. The case Of the one
defendant tried cost $4,000, and as the Judge on
the bench and part of the jury were parties inter-
ested in working up these cases. it looks like if
the convict testimony was very weak The perpe-
traitors Of these tally Outrages should be pun
ished, but men should not be convicted on perured
testimony
"The case of one of the defendants
tried cost $4,000" Who says so? The
Cincinnati Enquirer's literary bureau,
which has abused the Court, counsel, and
all concerned in prosecuting the case
Since the opening of the case its columns
have been flooded with the most villain
Gus abuse, and it has insisted upon de-
termining the question as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused in the newspa-
pers, instead of in court room.
The outrageous abuse of Judge Pugh,
of whom McSweeney, one of the counsel
for the Democratic party since the Ga
zette insists upon having it that way
said he never met fairer trial Judge, is
without parallel in the history of Ohio.
"Convict testimony" Who says so?
The little Boss of the Enquirer, and in
obedience to his commands the Gazette
repeats his infamous libels. Who are the
convicts? who are the perjurers? Mat.
Martin, one of the sturdiest old Demo-
Gratis of Ohio-James D. Poston, Dem
ocrat and citizen of good repute e-John
J. Joyce, Clerk of the Courts Theodore
Beck, Deputy Clsrk-and other men as
reputable as are in Franklin county. No,
Mr. Gazette; that won't do. There was
a mountain of testimony piled up, indie
pendent of Granville, that, but for the
active interference of your political
party, at the command of its Boss, no
jury would hesitate for one hour at con-
viction.
Not only have Democratic newspapers
sought to influence the jury and inf1ame
party spirit in order to shield the crimi-
nails, but during the trial one of the ju-
rors was drugged and made drunk, and |
the Court was compelled to wait an en-
tire day until he could sober up!
All this in the interest of Democracy
and John r. Mclean!
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1888-03-29
GRAINS OF GOLD.

To be proud and inaccessible is to be
timid and weak.
The desire of appearing clever often
prevents our being so.
We are only vulnerable and ridiculous
through our pretensions.
The higher the rank the less pretence,
because there is less to pretend to.
Better to expose ourselves to ingrati-
tude than fail in assisting the unfOrtu-
nate.
AS turning the logs will make dull
fire burn, so change of studies dull
brain.
Dost thou love life? Then do not
squander time for that is the stuff life
is made of.
What is defeat? Nothing but educa-
tion, nothing but the first step to some
thing better.
Men resemble the gods in nothing so
much as in doing good to their fellow
creatures.
The disposition to give cup of water
to a disciple is far nObler property than
the finest intellect.
If we did some little act of kindness
every day what beautiful record our
years would present.
We do not live only for the verdict of
the world; we live for the approval of
our own consciences.
The power of fortune is confessed on
ly by the miserable, for the happy i'm
pute all their success to prudence or
merit.
Such as thy words are, such will thy
affections be esteemed; and such will
thy deeds as thy affections, and such thy
life as thy deeds.
Love is bodily shape; and Christian
works are no more than animate faith
and love, as flowers are the animate
spring tide.
Deceit Is the false road to happiness;
and all the joys we travel through to
vice, like fairy banquets, vanish when
we touch them.
All the deception in the course of life
is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced
to practice, and falsehood passing from
words into things.
Perhaps the summary of good breed
ing may be reduced to this rule: "Be-
have unto all men as you would they
should behave unto you"
Read not to contradict and refute, nor
to believe at first sight and take for
granted, nor to find talk and discourse,
but to weigh and reason and consider.
In human life there is constant
change of fortune; and it is unreasonable
to expect an exemption from the COM
mon fate. Life itself decays, and all
things are daily changing.
