POETIC PIcklNos,

The SnOW-Storm.
Lightly and Whitley
AS wheat from the grain,
Thickly and quickly
AS thoughts through the brain,
So fast and so dumb
Do the snow-dakes come;
Swift. swift as the lays drop
From the glad poetic lips,
Soft, soft as the days drop
From Times fnger-tips.
Oh, so many, so manyi
Yet no sound from any,
Oh, 50 fast, oh. so fasti
Yet no track where they passed
Oh, so fragile, so fraili
Yet no force can prevail
To speed them or stay them.
No prayer can outweigh them.
They fall where they must.
Through the fathomless gray,
And bring to earth's dust
What OF heaven they may.

STRIKING DIFFERENCE.

Cleveland Leader.
The practice of making large advance
drafts on the County Treasurers of this
State began under Democratic admin
istration. When Hoadly and the Dem
ocratic Doodle Legislature came into
power in 1884 there were no advance
drafts outstanding. The advance drafts
on the August settlements of 1885
amounted to 100000. This was fol-
lowed by drafts on the February settle
ment following to the extent of $780,
600. The Democratic administration
had squandered every cent of the cur
rent revenues and of the 100000 sur
plus left in the Treasury by Gov. Fos-
ter's administration, and made advance
drafts to the extent of 100000 besides.
But in spite of all this, the Republican
administration has met every dollar of
Indebtedness coming due; it has reduced
the State bonded debt $l,400,000 and
the interest charge thereon 100000
year; it has reduced the rate of taxation
to the lowest point known in forty
years, and whoever is entrusted with the
administration for the next two years
will find nearly or quite $1,000,000
available for the expenses of government
In February next. Such is the difference
between Republican and Democratic
administration of the State finances.

THE Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette,
in an article on "the duties of School
Directors" very aptly says: One of the
most fragrant abuses of the school law
is the failure of the Directors to choose
at all times the persons most fit to teach
and manage the schools under their care.
Too often personal and political consid-
erations sway the judgment of the Di-
rectors, and the public interests suffer
through their cupidity and want of fl
delity. Some Directors have no higher
ambition than to help their personal
friends to positions which they are less
competent to fill than others who,
though more worthy and deserving,
have not the requisite influence" in the
board. This is perhaps the greatest
danger that besets the school system,
and parents should set their faces reso-
lutely against any Director who seeks
the Office for political advantage or per
sonal favoritism.

Mrs. EVA HAMILTON, the wife of
Robt. Ray Hamilton, whose recent at
tempt to murder Nurse Donelly at
Atlantic City, which has been attracting
such widespread attention, was convict
ed of atroeious assault and sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary. Robert
Ray Hamilton, great grandson of AL
exander Hamilton, married the woman
knowing her to be a prostitute, and she
afterward entered into scheme with an
other man to palm off on Hamilton a
child which was not his own. and sought
to have him make will in its favor,
with the idea of disposing of both her
husband and the child, and gaining pos
session of his property. The plan worked
all right until Hamilton and his wife
had an alteration, when the nurse inter
fered and was almost fatally stabbed by
Mrs. Hamilton. Hamilton has since ac
knowledged himself duped and left his
wife to her fate.

THE influx of foreign immigration to
this country has fallen off about one
half during the year just ended and the
directories compiled this summer of the
cities show corresponding decrease in
the number of names added. Emigrants
have mostly poured themselves into
the larger cities, and the change is no
ticed there in greater degree than else
where. The falling off is due mostly to
labor complications and the lack of in
ducements held out, and in the end will
be beneficial to the country at large, as
too many come possessed of no proper
ty and too little good moral character
to make good citizens.

THE Democratic press still heads its
editorial columns with what-tO-them is
doubtless startling news, ''The tariff is
tax" If there was any dispute in re-
gard to the matter, it would not seem
so silly, but as the difference of opinion
is only in regard to the nature and not
to the fact that it is a tax, so much
harping and palaver seems like pperile
prattle. They are evidently attempting
to bring odium upon the system of tar
ifs by calling it tax, when it is an
universally accepted principle in econo-
mics that taxes levied for the support
of good government are by far the most
profitable and best investments which
can be made.

THE Republican majority in this
county is over five hundred. No Dem
crat can be elected who gets less than
two hundred and fifty or three hundred
Republican votes. Are there that num-
Der of Republicans in this county who
want to assist and strengthen the Dem
ocratic party by putting Democrats into
positions where their influence to dam
age the Republican party and help the
Democratic party will be greatly in
creased? We do not believe it, There
is not a candidate on the Republican
ticket who is not quite as well qualified
as the candidate on the Democratic
ticket. Your candidate represents your
principles and your party; the Demo-
cratic candidate is against both. Why
should you assist to place him where his
power to antagonize them will increase
tenfoldY Would you aid and encourage
a man who you knew was doing and
would do all in his power to iniure you
and your business, Certainly not. Why
then should you vote foF mGn who, if
elected, will do all in his power, which
would be greatly enlarged by his election,
to antagonize your principles and destroy
your party? There is no more sense in
you doing the latter than the former
Tribune.

WILL SCRATCH HIS NAME.

WILL SCRATCH HIS NAME.
Cedarvile Herald DEM.
Mr.. Campbell, if elected, will be un-
der such obligations to the gang that
he will be bound to recognize them to
the fullest extent. He was nominated
by the gang, and owes everything to
them. Under these circumstances, a
Democratic victory is not desirable. 1t
means that honest elections in cities
will be destroyed, and the methods of
1885 will again be rendered possible
If the Democratic party in Ohio ever
again expects to regain the confidence
of the people, it must repudiate, in no
uncertain manner, now and forever, the
domination OF the COgans, Mullens,
MulrOys, Daltons, Bernards and O'My-
erses, whose guiding star is Doodle, and
whose motto is anything to get there, be
it forgery, ballot-box stufflng or any
thing short Of murder.
Many leading Democrats in Ohio hold
the same sentiments in regard to Camp
bell that we do, and they believe that
the Democratic party will suffer by the
election of Campbell. They hesitate
from declaring openly against him be-
cause they do not desire notoriety as
"bolters," but all the same their tickets,
if they vote at all, will have Mr.. Camp
bells name scratched off. We know
that this Is true, because we have per-
sonal letters from several of the most
prominent Democrats in the State, which
plainly intimate as much. We do not
feel that our standing in the Democrat
ie party will be injured in the least by
bolting Campbell. Democrats as rule
are not in favor of the gang, and it will
not be to our future injury to fight the
gang. We always did oppose it and we
always will

old-Line Democrats for Neal.

The nomination of James E. CAM
bell for governor by the Democrats at
Dayton oocasioned no surprise to those
who have been Watching events. He
was the candidate of the gang thas is
now in control of Democratic affairs in
Ohio and as such had little trouble in
securing the nomination, in spite of the
determined opposition of the mossback
element, who presented an almost solid
front for Neal
A candidate who ia backed by the
tally-sheet gang of Ohio. to which cling
all the odium and disgrace that crime
and political trickery can impart, will
have rough road to travel to reach the
gubernatorial chair.
This fact must be kept in mind, how
ever, that the Democracy, aided by the
gang" will make desperate effort to
win this fall and will resort to any
measures to accomplish their purpose.
The Republicans must not be idle The
campaign will be hard fought, but with
our gallant leader and the earnest sup
port Of every Republican, We will win
glorious victory.

THERE'S certainly not a Democrat in
Belmont county willing to take unto
himself the responsibility for the defeat
of any candidate on our ticket Gazette.
The Gazette knows that there is not a
shadow of chance of electing a single
man on the Democratic ticket by votes
from that party alone, in this county,
for the very good reason that there is
not enough of them, and yet it calls
upon its party to stand squarely by its
candidates, and has the gall to ask Re
publicans to vote for Democratic nomi-
nees. How many Republicans will ac-
commodate the Democracy.

THE Democratic candidates are tramp
ing over the county begging Republi-
cans for their votes. They want prom
ises of support from Republicans, but
they do not offer to promise that they
will not hereafter vote the straight
Democratic ticket, as they have in the
past-that they will not be found sup
porting the most infamous schemes Of
the Democratic party-whether it be
frauds on the ballot box, the cOrrupting
of a Legislature, or the killing of de-
fenseless negroes. Oh, no! not they.
Then what monumental cheek they ex
hibit when they ask Republican for
his vote.

THE HOME RULE CRY
Is All for an Opportunity to Comm

Is All for an Opportunity to Commit
Crime.
''Home Rule for the cities, l." is the
battle cry of the Democratic party,
which means that it wants the very ex-
cellent election laws. by which ballots
are freely deposited and honestly count
ed, repealed, and return of the good
old days (for them) when they could
manipulate the returns, tamper with
the ballot boxes and change figures to
suit themselves. The forgeries of 1885
are still fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie of Ohio, and the sams politicians
who engineered them were hel )ing this
year to nominate Campbell and assisted
in raising the cry of Home Rule. :"
Those forgeries were denounced by ex-
Senator Thurman. by Judge Hoally
and other Democrats. 1t will. be re
membered that Governor Hoally said:
Never again-never again allow an
honorable man to contemplate, as had
to with shame, my name accredited
with 9e6 votes 1 never received in the
Fourth ward, and my friend Judge For
aker. in Precinct A, Fourth ward, ac
credited with 46 only, when he certain
ly received nearly 20O." Under the
present election laws which provides
for supervisors, for registration and
other safe-guards, such changes as
Judge Hoadly referred to are not now
possible. but elections in Cincinnati
in Columbus and other cities are as fair
and honest as they are in the country
precincts. but the Democrats want the
laws abolished. They also want the
law providing for police boards done
away with, so that with the police and
the elections in their own hands they
can conduct affairs in the same manner
in Ohio as do their brethren in the
south. Do not be deceived with this
cry of Home Rule which in effect is
q cry for an opportunity to commit
crime. Larry Neal, in Dayton, just on
the eve of the nomination termed this
Home Rule" howl a "demagogical.
and false, and fraudulent issue, yet it
is one which the worst element of the
Democratic party forced into the plat
form and one in which they expect to
make their hardest fight 1t would be
a calamity for the state should they suo-

OUR friends of the Gazette, who pre-
tend TO be starting out on an elevated
plain in Democratic journalism, should
endeavor to keep on the plain they es-
tablish, and not credit words to a con-
temporary journal which did not appear
in its columns. In the last issue of the
Gazette, the able editor spun out almost
a column of mixture upon the text
"Free and Easy" ascribing the words
to THE CHRONICLE. No such words
were used in this paper, and the Gazette
man knew it.

Upon the above The Ohio State

1t is true, that there are important

important than whether the legislation

the issue between fairness, honesty and
electoral integrity ON the one hanI, and
fraud. forgery and ballot-box stu ling
on the other.
But the issue between the friends and
enemies of Ameri an industry has also
been made too distinct by the con-
clave at Dayton to be for moment neg
lected or ignored Indeed fraud and
free trade are both members of the same
iniquitous family and work together
hand in hand. One-third of the vote
for the Mills bill in the last congress
was the ugly product of Democratic
fraud and rape upon the southern bal
lot-boxes. and the ringsters in Ohio are
gnashing their teeth at the laws which
block the way of the fraud that would
send free trailer from Ohio to the sem
ate of the United States. The instincts
and intellects of the people are keenly

that the purity of the ballot-box direct
ly and the protection of American in
dustry indirectly are both involved in
the pending campaign, they make no
mistake,

REGULATING CONDEMNED.

Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald Dem.)
The report of outrages of Negroes in
Louisiana by so-called white regulators
is inconceivably brutal and disgrace
to that State and to the South. The race
significance which attaches to these out
RACES only serves to aggravate them. 1t
is the duty of the whites, who insist on
controlling the administration of public
affairs to protect the Negro in his rights
The Negro should be made to know and
believe that he can rely ON the white man
to do this, but such brutality as the re-
port from Louisiana, unless it be punish
ed, will make him distrustful of the
whites and encourage race hostility. The
regulators" must be punished. The
hanging of the men who murdered the
old Negro and his daughter would vindi-
cate Louisiana and the South, and the
best sentiment in this section demands
that no effort be spared to bring them to
justice.

The Thrill Term In-

One Of the silliest cries ever heard in
a state canvass is that which the Ohio
Democrats are uttering against the
third term for governor. As the term
is only two years, three terms would in
volve service of but six years, In
many Of the states the term is four
years, and oftentimes governors in
those commonwealths have served eight
years. More than one governor in Ohio
has been chosen three times. The cry
against third election for Foraker is
confession of poverty of issues on the
part of the Buckeye Bourbons which
the magnates of that organization are
exceedingly unwise to make.-St Louis

THE SOUTHERN oUTRAGES.
CONFESSED BY SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC
JOURNALS.

SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG.
New Orleans Picayune Dem.)
The bloody occurrences in Lafayette
Parish cannot be too highly condemned
nor too deeply deplOred. We cannot view
this and other representations of lawless
violence in Lafayette without feeling that
not only is there something seriously
wrong in the manifestation by number
of its citizens of tendency to outbreak
ing and violent lawlessness, but there is
also something greatly at fault in the ex
ecution of the laws there. A long course
of neglect in such matters by which a
large number of people have come to dis
regard the authorities and to redress
their own wrongs without recourse to the
laws seems to have eliminated in the
present unfortunate state of affairs. Let
the good people of the parish combine to
put an immediate stop to these bloody
atrocities in which the fair name of the
whole population is brought to disgrace.
