 sOlidation Question.
 This evening the Chamber of Commerce will hold special meeting to consider the reports of the committee appointed to inves- tigate the feasibility of consolidating the town, city and school districts. At the reg ular meeting last Wednesday evening a ma iority of the committee reported in favor of consolidation and submitted 8 plan which provides for the abolishment of the town and school meetings, the extension of the city limits so as to include all town territory, the taking away of all the powers of the select men except the making of voters, and the or ganization of board of charities and correc- tions to take charge of the town paupers. The minority of the committee also made a report recommending that further discus- sion of the subject be dropped. Both reports will be considered at the meeting tbis even ing and an interesting discussion may be ex- r1eeked.

Is the date selected for the commencement of W. B. Tenn & Co.'s great semi-annual shop-worn and clearance sale. We propose to make thorough cleaning through all lines of our stock, and if necessary put in five thousand pairs of ladies', gentlemen's, misses and children's fine and medium grade shoes.
 We have found that when all but two or three dozen pairs of a line of shoes are sold, it Is better to close them out absolutely, re- gardless of profit and cost, than to hold them to melt away, one pair at time. We pur- chase no shoes for this sale. They are goods selected from our shelves and thrown out for disposal.
 In two or three days these local notice col- umns will contain list of bargains offered and prices.

At the Young Mems Republican Clul
 TOsNlGhB.

TOsN1@nBs
 There will undoubtedly be an exceedingly lively time at the regular monthly meeting of the Young Mems Republican club to- night. It will be remembered that there was a faction of the club attempting to form a social club, and that they met with eonsider@ able opposition. Since then reports have bsen circulated that this plan had been dropped. These reports are untrue and the ringleaders are working harder than ever to accomplish their object. The officers of the club, in hopes of promoting harmony, have decided to raise the dues to $5. By this action they think that they will be able to improve the social features of the club and if possible secure a good, commodious club house. Tonight these two actions vii probably have a pretty lively debate, and this will probably decide the future fate of the club. The club has done good work. during the campaign and they ought not to allow 6 little difference. of opinion to dinin- ish it's prosperity and strength.

 Ladies who have difficulty and discomfort in their house shoes will find that hand made turn sole boots and low shoes combine style, fit and absence from noise with thorough ease. Nine-tenths of so-called house boots are made by machinery, ,and the lasting, nails, paste and unnecessarily stiff soles prevent the comfort sought for. Handmade turn sole house boots and shoes cost little more than those made in the objectionable manner indi- cated and should take their place in ali we'll regulated households.

There was quite spirited hearing by the committee on finance, who had the bill to tax the surplus of savings banks quarter of per cent. under consideration. A number of savings bank directors from different parts of the State appeared in opposition to the bill and claimed that the savings banks were poor.
 There has been more excited debate in the House concerning the bill to lay back tax of 10 per cent. on the property of deceased persons who had not been on the tax list during owners life.
 The judiciary committee reported unfavor- ably. Mr. Kutscher of Bridgeport said that the State was not able to collect now one- half the taxable property and the time would come when this matter would stare it in the face He would like the bill tabled for printing. Mr. Graves of Litchfeld thought there was some merit in the bill, and he would like it printed. MT. Glover objected to expending 50 much State money on a bill just because the judiciary committee had reported that it ought not to pass. There was no need of printing it as the bill was simple. It was voted to print the bill 80 that the members may ponder over it individually.

The PlatfOrm.

/. The Democracy of Ohio, in con-
vention assembled, approve the
declaration of principles made by
the National Democracy in st.
Louis, in 1883, and especially that
part of it demanding reduction of
tariff taxes. We will continue the
battle for tariff reform until the
cause of the people is triumphant.
3. We regard trusts, in whatever
form organized, as the Legitimate
result of our present tariff system,
and we demand the repeal of all
tariff taxes that enable them to eX-
tort from the people eXorbitant
prices for the products they con-
troll.
3. We again acknowledge the
great debt Of gratitude the nation
owes to the heroes of the late war,
and we declare in favor of just, lib
eral, and equitable pension laws.
4. We denounce The Republican
administration for its repeated
violation of its pledges in behalf of
civil service reform.
5. We denounce the present
State administration as the most
partisan, demoralizing and extra
VACANT in our history. We invite
the careful investigation of all citi-
zens into our financial affairs as
shown by the official records.
8. We protest against the repeat
ed enactment of laws vesting the
appointing power in the governor,
enabling him to control the local
boards of our leading cities. While
depriving them of self-government,
it constructs vast political ma
chine that is at all times danger
Gus, and in the hands of IL partisan
chief executive has become a posi-
tive menace to the people of the
State.
7. The nomination of the COVER
nor of Ohio for third term, in vio-
latiOn of all precedent, by the no
torious and disgraceful use of pat
rOnage at his command, is an out
rage against the people and should
be rebuked at the polls. We hearth
ly favor home rule in Ireland. We
demand it also for Ohio. While
favOring all laws that sacredly pro-
tect the ballot box and the honest
voter, we demand the enactment
of laws that will enable cities to
choose their own servants and con-
troll their own affairs.

ATHENS, Sept, 25.-[Special.] i
The house of John Henry, farmer
of Bern township about twelve
miles north Of here, was entered by
thieves, and about S4O0, the trust
fund of an estate of which he was
executor, was stolen. His hired
hand having disappeared at the

and clerk of the board of elections
for Cincinnati (by grace of his
aforesaid uncle) was here Saturday
and Sunday looking up the politi-
cal situation. The political atmos-
phere looks very blue here for his
illustrious uncle.
Foraker will hold a meeting here
the first of next month, by the
force of which, he is expected to
whip into line the discontented ele-
ment Of his party. We viii! ven
ture to say Benny will have
matinee in doing it. Grosvenor is
at home.

by DIR. Lash, one of the trustees.

Grosvenor no more desires the
success of Foraker than does Mr..
Campbell himself.
The Athens Messenger n Repub-
lican paper of the county, In an
editorial concerning Grosvenor's
speech in its issue of the 10Th inst,
said: 1--WE cannot help thinking
that he was unduly eXtravagant in
his praise of Mr.. Campbell. 1t was
mistake for Republican leader
to give the present Democratic can
didate for governor of Ohio certi-
ficate of fcharacter--such a personal
endowment as would have a ten
dency to reconcile the dissatisfied
elements in both parties to his sup
port"
Another thing is that Gen. Gros-
venor, although generally u bitter
partisan, recognizes that in Mr..
Campbell the Democrats have a
candidate whose character is above
reproach, and he does not propose
to try and besmirch his fair name
merely to please the third term

if not more than that, and we have
the total cost of the work placed
at 100000.
Now for II few facts, bearing d.
rectly on the wisdom, purity and
patriotism of this administration.
When Gov. Foraker assumed his
official duties he found that corps
of Democratic copyists under his
predecessor had about two-thirds
of the copy ready for the printer.
They were speedily removed and
their places filed by the personal
friends of him, the splendor of
whose administration has filled
the whole Republican mind. When
the new clerks assumed their
positions so much of the work
was completed that their positions
did not give assurance of adequate
stability and money and their first
work was to burn up and destroy
the work of their predecessors,
w hich was done with the presum-
ed knowledge and consent of this
"wise, pure and patriotic govern
or" and since that time during the
more than three years of his ad-
ministration the work has been go
ing on.
1t is now about two-thirds done
and has thus far cost the people
of the State little in excess of
100000 and at the rate at which it
has been progressing will be fin
ished in about two years at a total
cost of S24O,OOO.
Yet this is the "wise, pure and
patriotic administration the peo-
pie are asked to indorse by giving
it's author third term.
Well does the Cincinnati En-
quirer speaking on this subject,
say:
"What have these clerks been
doing?
Whose interests have they been
serving while drawing generous
salaries out of the State Treasury?
These are questions that ought
to be answered, and answered fully
and frankly by the men who are
responsible for palpable waste and
extravigance.
Silence or evasion will not satisfy
the public mind.
Neither will false and malicious
assaults upon the personal and pro-
fessional standing of Democratic
candidates satisfactorially explain
why this monstrous job should be
carried on in the name of patriot
ism.
Some of the men who are7 draw
ing these salaries make personal
defamation of Democrats their
daily profession.
They copy no soldiers names
and deeds, but blacken with in
famous lies and indecent insinua-
tions the names of every promi-
nent Democrat and every Republi-
can who opposes third term and
boss rule, and draw their salaries
for their work out of the State
Treasury.
1t is shameless public robbery"
