NON.PARTISAN.
Twelve Truths Which All Fair Minded
Citizens Must Endorse.
General Beatty's Summary OF
the Situation.

l. The voter who affirms that the
PEOPLE are not competent TO select their
own election boards, police boards and
boards of public affairs, in effect denies
that the people are capable of govern
ing themselves, and hence rebels against
the fundamental principles of republic
an government.
2. The man who speaks in eu1ogy OF
the intelligence of the people and yet in
effect afirms that they do not know
enough to select their own street COM
missioners, is an impudent imposter.
8. The man who argues that a nom
partisan board of public affairs is the
best thing for the city Of Hamilton, and
a partisan board the best for Cincinnati,
assumes that his hearers are block
heads.
T. The politician who insists that men
too vicious to vote for police commits
sioners are good enough to vote for a
police or common pleas judge, convicts
himself of falsehood.
5. The man who votes to deprive the
people Of our larger cities of the right to
select their own boards of election, po-
lice boards and boards of public affairs,
in effect sanctions principle which, ii
honestly and impartially applied, would
put the power In the hands Of one man
to appoint every county, township and
municipal officer in the State.
6. The voter who condemns a third
term for President and yet approves q
third term for Governor, is not only In
consistent-he is ridiculous.
Z. The voter who can not distinguish
between a third term for a legislative OF
| judicial Office without patronage, and a
third term for an executive office with
patronage, is too stupid to comprehend
an argument.
8. The man who comedies that third
term precedent would be dangerous to
the country and yet votes to establish il
is his country's enemy.
9. The man who by his vote approves
what he knows to be wrong, in order tC
/ keep in line with his party and secure
! an office, condemns himself as unworthy
of public trust
TO- The voter who is controlled by hi.
personal or partisan prejudices is moi
only not free man, but he is not com
petent to reach a correct conclusion.
II. The man who dare NOT criticise his
party when his Judgment tells him it il
wrong, is coward.
II. The citizens who seeks to justify
his vote by the assumption that he chose
the lesser evil, is neither Christian no
an honest man. JOHN BEATTY,

DEMOCRATIC NIGHTMARE. y
A Republican Stalwart Takes a
Hand,
And Fires Some Deadly Shots Into
Eorakerism and Cranky
Ha1stead.

The following appeared In the Conn
mercial Gazette the other day.
Where are those anti-Foraker Repub-
licans the Democrats have been talking
sbout2 II they live in Ohio they are
keeping very quiet.
I will try to answer. They are all
over the State Of Ohio. Nine out of ten
Republicans who do not hold Office, and
at least fifty per cent. Of those who do
hold Office, if free to express themselves
would be opposed to Foraker's Methods.
There is more honesty among the voters
Of the Republican party than the subsi-
dised newspapers are willing to admit.
1t Is not Foraker they are opposed to,
but his methods. They are above per-
sonalities, but they still adhere
to the principles of the Repub-
hcan party, viz, honesty and fair
dealing with the elective tEsaeiss,

THE financial affairs of Ohio must be
run on a magnificent scale truly. Tri-
fes receive no attention at the hands Of
the financiers.
The fact that $3.50, 600 of the sinking
fund was transferred to the general rev.
enue fund in violation of a constitutional
provision is regarded as so insignificant
that the people in charge of the States
affairs regard it simply as piece of i'm
pertinence to call public attention to it.
Four of the penitentiary contractors
are over $50. 900 in arrears, and when
mention is made of it only a shrug Of
the official shoulders is produced.
One of the contractors who furnishes
the Governor house has been in debt
to the State over S25, 900 for year and
pays no interest Yet when public at
tention is called to this trifie the States
bosses only smile and inquire, What
are you going to do about it?''
Messrs. Stone, Breslin and Gibson
once conducted the States finances ON q
| magnificent scale and in breezy disre-
rard of the limitations of the constitu-
| lion.
The result of their financiering was a
very dear lesson to the taxpayers Of
Ohio.
The constitution is entitled to respect,
lfter all.

WARREN County. Ohio, has had dose
of third-termism that her taxpayers are
not desirous of repeating. The opposi-
ton to third-termism has its foundation
In wisdom and should be enforced. The
people never call out a man for third
term, he manipulates it for himself and
he should always be defeated. Wash
tngton thought so and left his opinion
IN record.
IN his speeches Governor Foraker says
that mo man in his sane moments
would have written such letter as that
penned by George r. Topp demanding
drawback of twenty-five cents in cash,
ON the City gravel he had purchased. II
Topp was insane, why was he SO par
ticularly to demand his divvy lin cash?''
This is point Foraker does not explain.

Disarming an Unseen Foe.

This was sometime a paradox" as Hamlet
says, Since, however, the people of America
and other lands have been enabled to pit Hos
letters Stomach Bitters against that unknown
foe, malaria, 1t Is no longer n paradox, but an
easy possibility. Whcrevera malaria evolves Its
misty venom to poison the air, and decaying un-
wholesome vegetation imprcgna,es the water,
there, in the very stronghold of miasma, is the
auxiliary potent to disarm the foe and assure
efficient protection. Fever and sgue, bilious
remittcnt, dumb ague aud ague cake, no matter
how tenaciously they have fastened their clutch
on the system, are. first forced to relax their
grasp and eventually to abandon 1t altogether
But it is its preventive force that should chiefly
recommend the bitters to persons dwelling in
malarial.cursed localities, for it is a certain
buckler of defense against which the enemy Is
powerless. Cures, likewise, dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism, kidney and bilious ailments

observed at Sheridan on Thursday. The
cold weather made some changes necessary;
but did not interfere with the carrying out of
the thought of the day. The cemetery exer.

record of the soldier buried there. The
Methodist church was flied, seats and isles,
to listen to the exercises. Rev. DR.. Freder-

upon the prime forces that were instrument

giving prominence to the Divine purpose,
to the great home reserves and the army Of
