IN adopting the rooster as the party emblem,
the Democratic party has gone to the homes
of the people, instead of soaring into the cold
nothingness of space in search of the eagle
The two emblems represent the difference
between the attitudes of either party The Re-
publicans have chosen an almost barren ideal
ity' of Ohio skies, seldom seen, and then only
by limited number of people-a true emblem
of what their legislation will be-enactments for
the rich minority. The Democratic Rooster is
known and seen daily by the entire people, and
they are the ones for whose benefits the party
will legislate, irrespective of riches or position

RAVENNA TERRESTRIALISMS.
No. 3, RIDDL1

The new Pitkin block is very neat and sub
staptial monument to the enterprise of its pro-
prietor, and his action in forging ahead'' in
the face of the industrial eclipse which for a
time obscured the sun of prosperity, is praise
worthy and commendable.
~
conjunction of the barren moon and life
giving sun may occasion momentary eclipse
of the latter. The lesser orb. however. which
of itself has no light, only as borrowed from the
very luminary it seeks to humiiate. speedily
retires. and the sunshine is all the more well
come. Old Sol only smiles at the futile attempts
to obscure his glory, and it does not require
many minutes for Madame Luna to "m move on''
in defeat. Her attempts to signalize herself by
robbing others of natures bounty only adver-
tise her littIeness the more.

-Rarenna offers excellent inducements for
first class foundry of large capacity. In the
course of a year many tons of castings are used
by various establishments here. and the figures
would probably far exceed the ideas of any of
our citizens not familiar with the requirements
of these several plants. All these castings
have, of course, to be purchased abroad. and it
would be large item for Ravenna to keep this
money at home. and at the same time give en-
ployment to lot of new operatives.
-
An advantage. however small, is always pre-
ferable to a disadvantage however small. and
in summing up the good points of place the
minor considerations. that in the aggregate are
quite as important as many of the larger ones
are too often omitted. Now Ravenna is thor
oughly advertised in respect to her unsurpassed
shipping facilities, splendid water supply. and
the admirable lay of her grounds for manufac-
turing purposes. These facts are inseperably
associated wi tn her name. which is never read
but the mind instantly Incorporates them with
| the thought. But there are other factors in the
makeup of the place that have not been as freely
broug ht to the attention of outsiders, hundreds
of whom would be interested at once in their
| bare recital. A town does not depend entirely
| for future growth on the location of factories
| in its territory. Great numbers of people are
| looking for good residence town, and are more
| interested to know concerning the cleanliness,
| healthfulness. Church and School privileges
| the character OF the surrounding country, the
| tone of society and general intelligence of a
| place, than in its industrial recommendations.
If the air of place gently and nimbly rec
| ommendS itself unto their gentler Senses" very
much has been accomplished toward securing q
class of residents that would be most welcome
addition to any town. Truth is never flattery
neither is it egotism, and we have simply to say
at this time that in all the particulars named
Ravenna offers inducements of a high order
and believing it to be the province of her news
papers to discover her good qualities to the out
| side world, we shall take pleasure in reviewing
these advantages from time to time.

that they will give the sheepherders the
tobopgan slide. This will be the great
tug. Sergeant Jeffries says that If he
loses this pull he will resign from the
police force and go to farming.
The Americans have gilt-edged cinch
on first prize. They have two hot tugs
in front of them, but on the record
of the week they have them safe. For
instance, they beat the Irish and the
Irish beat the Spanish, who beat the
Germans therefore the Americans
should certainly be able to go through
without defeat. They pull the Ger
mans tonight. There are some that
think that the Germans have show
against the Americans. 1t all depends
whether they can Withstand the rush of
the Americans at the start. II they can
resist the Star-Spangled Banner team
for fifteen minutes there will be whole
lot of excitement, as there is con-
siderable doubt about the stay
ing quality of the Americans.
The Germans have two uphill fights on
their hands in the Americans and Irish.
They will be lucky if they win one,
judging by the records of the past three
days.
FOR SECOND PLACE.
The Spanish team are sure of another
victory. They can beat the French to
certainty. This will give the Spanish
team three victories. The Irish team is
sure to beat the police. This will give
them three victories. Everything de-
pends on the Germans and Irish to de-
eide second place. If the Germans win
they will tie the Spanish and Irish for
second money. If the Irish win, it will
give them second money beyond doubt,
provided the Spanish do not beat the
Americans on Friday night, which is
very improbable.
The Germans feel very sore over their
defeat by the Spanish team. They claim
that one of the Spanish team held
knot on the cleat. 1t is understood
that they will challenge the Spanish
team for a good round sum of money.
The Irish team is feeling very good over
their two consecutive victories. They
now think that they would have beaten
the American team, if they had adopted
the right kind of tactics on the opening
night. At all events, they are just con-
sumed with anxiety to get another
whack at Captain Barbour's team.
They think that they can make old

New York, Dec. 9.-The annual meet
ing of the National Trotting- Horse
Breeders association was held today.
The executive committee reported re-
gardng its dealings with John III. Wal
lace, compiler OF the trotting-horse reg
lister. A committee was appointed to
confer with the National and American
Trottipg associations with reference to
securing unity of method in accepting
new records.
Hon. Leland Stanford, Hon. B. F. Ira
cy, Il. d. Packer and G. H. Pratt were re-
elected members of the executive COM
mittee and E. G. Doolittle of Connecti-
cut in place OF Charles Balman, re-
signed.
The Gum of $3.50 was voted toward the
fund for erecting monument to the
noted sire, Hambletonian. Senator
Stanford sent check. The total is
now $500.
The election OF officers for the follow
ing year resulted: President, H. w. I.

Measures have been taken towards
securing rights which the committee

syndicate of wealthy breeders, compos-

sociation. The committee declared that
at meeting OF representative breeders
| in Chicago last April, when the project
to relieve Wallace of the contract of the
register assumed material shape, it was
inferentially understood that the Ma
| tional Association of Trotting Horse
Breeders would succeed tosuch rights as
had been in the hands OF Wallace. The
breeders have been ignored instead by
the syndicate. 1t is asserted that the
latter adopted rule allowing PAGERS
with a record of 2:25 or better TO be
registered as trotters.
