The games between Messrs. Emerson and
Whitehouse and Woodman and Verrill were
as exciting as any which have been played
this week, the sets being contested during
continuous applause. Woodman and his
partner won three games in succession, in
the first set, before Whitehouse and Emerson
settled down to business. They then went
to work in such earnest, however. that the
set ended in their favor, 6-5.
The next set began in favor of White
house and Emerson, but this time it was
Woodman and Verrill who settled down to
business and wrested the set from their op
ponents by winning five we'll played games,
one after the other, and the set, 6-3.
The third set resembled the first in its
opening, Woodman and Verrill again win
ming three games in one, two, three order.
They did not get another victory until after
Whitehouse and Emerson had won five games.
Then one game for each side concluded the
decisive set by another success for White
- thn.
was noticeable for the many long drives
from the base line and the agility with
which the ball was volleyed. There were
several difficult pickups made on both sides
from the side lines of the court and the ball
was placed in q number Of out-of-the-way
spots which the fellows on the other side Of
the net could not reach. The games resulted

Ohio State Sunday Law.

At the Sabbath Convention held in Music
Hall, Cleveland, June 7, 1889, Rev. Homer j.
Smith, D. D., presented the following tran
script of the statute of Ohio, touching the
observance of the first day of the week,
which was requested by motion to be pub
lished in the State press, for the information
of the people: ..- E
Revised Statutes of the State of Ohio, Sec
ton 7032n.-Whoever on the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday, participates
in or exhibits to the public, with or without
charge for admittance, in any building, room,
ground, garden, or other place in this State,

circus performance of jugglers, acrobats,

dred dollars, or be confined in the county
Jail not exceeding six months, or both, at the
discretion of the court.

They WillGet Together.

The Democratic State Committee acted
wisely in not reversing their former action.
The convention will be held at Dayton on
the date originally fixed. The Republicans
who hope that the convention will be inhar-
monious, and that there will be q conflict OF
sentiment will be greatly surprised. The
Democrats will "get together with one
mind, one purpose and one object, the de-
feat of the Republican monopoly party in
this State. The defeat of last fall has salts
fed the party and made it more determined
than ever. The Democrats will put in nomi-
nation candidates for the State Offices who
will draw out the full Democratic vote and
they will be elected. This is TO be Demo-
cratic year in Ohio.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1889-06-27

The Republicans last year depended
especially and almost entirely on their pro-
fessions as the friendsof American industry
to win for them the victory at the pollsS. it
was in furtherance of thispurpose that Wana
maker raised corruption fund of $4,000 to
aid in the election of Harrison, and he is now
receiving his reward in the shape of cab-
net Office and in the control of several thous-
and postmasters. And now, as very ap-
propriate sequel to the professions of Wanna
maker and his associates as friends of Ameri-
can industries, comes the announcement that
the Postnaster-G General has Just received
from Europe an immense supply of foreign
furnishings for his new Washington resi-
dence. American industries are good enough
for filling thepockets of monopolists and for
securing the votes of working men; but these
accomplished, the professed philanthropisti is
very wlllingto patronize the "pauper labor"
of Europe and let the American laborer shift
for himself. f.-C0lumbus Post.

"a The Democratic State Central and
Executive Committees held full and har-
monious meeting at Dayton on Thursday
last, at which the editor Of this paper was
present, as the representative of the 9Th dis
trict. At this meeting there was sprink-
ling of prominent Democrats from over the
State, affording an excellent opportunity to
compare notes and talk over the condition of
the party in the different sections of the
State. From what we learned we are safe in
saying that the Democratic organization of
Ohio was never in better condition than it is
now, or with brighter prospects of winning a
glorious victory this fall in this stronghold
of Republican monopoly. The committees
were called together to take some prelimi-
nary steps in matters pertaining to the com
ing State Convention, which will be held in
Dayton on the 9th and 28th of August next,
and among other business transacted the
Hon. M. d. Harter, of Mansfield, was Sc
lected to preside as chairman over the State
Convention. The selection is amost excellent
one, as Mr.. Harter is a true exponent of tar
if reform and stands squarely with his party
upon the question. When he strikes the key
note this fall it win he found that the Democ-
racy of the great State of Ohio have taken
|no backward step in its advocacy Of tariff re-
form, but instead a step forward in the path
of justice and right through which the com
mon people are leading it on to sure and last
ing victory. Mr.. Harter is also staunct
friend of the laboring man, whose condition
he has been trying to ameliorate, both with
his brain and his means. He recognizes the
fact that the fobber tariff is one of the worst
enemies the laboring man has to contend
with, and for its overthrow he is assiduously
working.
The Central and Executive COMMITTEES
gratefully accepted an invitation of the
local committee of Dayton to go upon 6
"tally-ho" ride after its deliberations were
through with. The ride was not only {
novel one, but afforded an excellent oppor
tunity of viewing the many beautiful at
fractions in and around one of the pretties
and wealthiest cities in the State, the hospi
tality of whose citizens has become pro
verbal. The ride was highly enjoyed.

The Republicans are. gathered in Columbus
to-day, in State convention. At last accounts
it looked as though Foraker would be renom-
mated, although he has bitter opposition
and the men opposed swear revenge soulhd
he be n ominated. But Foraker is boss, and
ifhecan see his way clear to seat in the U

That ruling of the Treasury depart
ment under which worsteds are classed as
woolens does not seem to have advanced the
price of wool one penny. The farmers will
remember that'the Republican demagogues
told them last year that one of the reasons
for the low price of wool was that the Demo
cratic treasury officials refused to over-rlde
the plain letter of the law by holding that
worsteds should be classed as woolens.
