A special from Findly, Ohio, Of
late day says: The second adven.
fists, sanctificationists and faith cure
believers, who are holding a State
convention at Bluffton, near this city,
spent the day in discussing the "per.
sonal and premilennial coming of
Christ" This topic developed the
fact that the greater part of the be.
levers in this dogma expect speedy
coming of the Lord. Some of the
speakers argued and quoted Scripture
to prove that everything indicated
that the end of all things earthly was
at hand. "The year 1891" said one
of the delegates, twill witness the
overthrow of all worldly kingdoms
and prinoipalities and tho establish
mens of Christ's reign upon the earth.
The hour of his coming is at hand and
blessed are they who are prepared"
Interest in this strange convention re-
NUNS nnabated and great crowds at.
tend all the sessions. The conyen-
ton will not adjourn until New Years
morning after an all night meeting.

MR.. CLEVELAND.

1t has always been considered tn
part of prudence that candidates 70
high public Offices should be extreme
ly cbarry of written or spoken opin
ions, lest they furnish their opponent
material to be used against them
This as a general rule is true, mas
much as most of the seekers for offic.
are mere politicians and have elastic
views capable of being bent to NEE
the prejudices of the hour, but 1t is moi
applicable to the statesmen of courage
and profound convictions established
upon solid principle.
Ex-President Cleveland presen IS in
himself a complete type of this latter
class, disregarding the caution which
is necessary for the mere politicians,
standing out boldly for the principles
which be conceives to embody the
safety and perpetnity Of the Democra-
tic institutions of this land. There
has never been the least hesitancy on
his part to give utterance to the views
be entertained upon great questions
and the needed policy of the govern
ment-and there has been no instance
where he has shirked any responsible
ity or declined to be thoroughly nm
derstood; no occasion when he has
sought to cover his genuine senti-
ments with vague utterance or the
semblance of doubt--but all that he
has said goes straight at the mark
without circumlocution or any indef-
niteness.
1t cannot he doubted that 11r.
Cleveland is candidate for the Office
of President, and it is more than prob.
able that be will be the Democratic
n ominee in 1892, as the leader in the
great tariff reform movement, and yet
be gives no sign of trimming sails to
catch any other breeze than those of
sincerity and truth.
He writes and talks much, and yet
he has given his enemies no ground
Of attack upon his utterances he
leaves no gaps behind him as means
Of escape, since he needs none, So
long as he pushes on with singleness
Of heart to principle. His recent
speech at the Reform Club dinner was
n keeping with his previous record,
md though it may be set down by his
Republican opponents as a campaign
document, it will bear the most care
I'll analysis and rigid scrutiny as be-
ng in line with his profoundest pre-
'ious expressed convictions. In this
aspect, NJ. Cleveland has proven
himself very remarkable man. Not
charitable in any other particular,
kept in a wonderful amount of sim
Gritty which abjures all else but truth
nd courage founded upon unaltera-
10 conviction of what is right; re-
variable in this day of pinchbeck
'atesmanship, in the purity and solid
y OF his conclusion, and in that gen.
lneness of principle which actuated
lie men of an elder day of the Re-
ublic. The steady growth of de-
and for a reform, and for return to
lie old solid ways indicate that the
urdy nature of Mr.. Cleveland is not
ithout the highest appreciation among
he American people and that bis me-
lods are more in accordance with the
brit of the people of the Republic

zen of the Emitted States, swenty-one
years old and upwards, who has resi-.
ded in the State two years, and one
year in the election district, or in the
incorporated town in which he offers
to vote, and who is duly registered as
provided in this article and who has
never been convicted of bribery, bur
glary' theft, arson, or obtaining money
or goods under false pretenses, per.
jury, forgery, embezzlement, or biga-
my, and who has paid on or before
the first day of February of the year
in which he shall offer to vote. all
taxes which may have been legally
required of him, and which he has had
an opportunity of paying according to
law, for the two preceding years, and
who shall produce to the officers hold.
ing the election satisfactory evidence
that he has paid said taxes, is de.

In Der history, We venture TO assert,
single instance when the Legitimate
, vote of any worthy Republican electo
has been rejected or not allowed it
fullest scope.
The evidence of Northern men VII,
have taken up their residence in til,
South has disproven the impliot
charge of our esteemed contemporary
} contained in the above quotation. Thu
, fact is that the discrimination alluded
to is without foundation. and the
whole matter is summed mp in the par
tisan insincenty, inducing snch utter
ances that substitutes the resistance Of
Intelligence to be dominated by igno
rance, for wholesale antagonism
against party.
So that all attempts to give color to
the idea that white Northern Republi.
can immigrants cannot find political
freedom of action in the South is a
falsehood from first to last. 1t is
false in political and social sense,
since no man has been judged in the
South by his honest and decently ex.
pressed political opinions, but solely
upon his character for morality, integ-
rity and decency-upon the same quail
ifications that he would be measured
by in any part of the Union, and any
effort made to convey a contrary opin-
ion smacks of the meanest of political
lies or else the densest and pitiable
ignors nee.
The whole history of the South
since the days of reconstruction has
gone to disprove such silly assertions
and the thousands of instances where
Northern capital and Northern white
immigration has located in the South,
r refutation has gone back of the alb
surd and false declarations that there
was no political freedom here.
The South needs this immigration,
she has invited it in sincerity and cor
diality land the people are not treach-
erous) she still invites it, ignoring the
political predictions of the immi-
grants, and all her laws are framed
upon the solid bed rock of the princi.
pies which pertain to the purest of
Republics.
Happily the time is rapidly coming
when by means of close communica-
ton and more intimate relation, the
people of the North will be disabused
of these false and scandalous sectional
Misrepresentation and they will Judge
the facts as they exist in their true
light. The South bids the people of

selves, examine the real condition for
themselves, and is assured that they
will discover that they have long
