SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
Capt. Sehramm was elected mayor
east of the river.
Capt. Schramm was elected mayor
in the 4th ward, west of the river il
the crock quarry" Mexican voters
were excluded.
Capt. Schramm was elected mayor
if the Mexican voters had been ex-
eluded. 1t only proves that as long
as our American and German citizens
are divided, the combination that can
control the solid Mexican vote will
run our local governments. 1t also
proves that our taxpayers have no
control over their own affairs,
Our taxes are levied and our rev.
enues spent by officials who have
been elected by voters who pay moth
ing to the support of the government,
not even poll-tax. This thing cannot
last.
Our election law is entirely useless
so far as putting check on illegal
voting Is concerned. Nothing short
of the enactment of some law that
will force the voter to use his own in
dependence, will stop the voting of
hundreds Of ignorant men who are
brought to the polls and voted by
electioneerers.
The scenes at our election polls are
disgrace to our civilization and a
mockery of the right of franchise.
Hundreds of men are voted-they do
not vote; they hand in tickets without
knowing for whom or what they
are voting; hundreds of Mexicans,
who have simply taken out papers OF
intention, who have no homes, nc
svocation, no knowledge of our insti.
tutions, or our politics; pay no taxes
are brought to the polls and voted
and they only do 80 because they arr
paid for it. A reform is demanded.

Meet and Place a County
Ticket in the Field.

The Prohibitionists of this county met in
convention at the city hall in Napoleon on
Tuesday last.
On motion Thos. Roberts was chose
chairman and W. I. CHAPMAN secretary.
A committee on resolutions was appointed.
the committee consisting of W. E. Chapman
and A. Wilford.
The convention then adjourned to
meet at O'Clock.
The afternoon session was called to order
on time, when the committee on resolutions
reported as follows:
Resotred, That we the Prohibitionists of
Henry county in convention assembled. do
hereby reafirm the principles set in the re-
cent Ohio State Platform at Springfield, be-
lelving them to be sufficiently comprehensive
to cover every state and material interest.
ResotUed, That we consider that the saloon
keeper occupies as high moral ground on the
temperance question as the man who votes to
grant him permit to follow his ungodly
business
ResoLUed, That we consider it the duty of
all Prohibitionists to support their own party
papers, in preference to those of the enemy.
Resolved, That we believe that the science
of political economy, should be taught in
some practical way in our common schools.
RESOLVED, That we enter our unqualified
protest against the prostitution of the Henry
County Agricultural Fair to the base and un-
hallowed purposes Of saloon keepers and
gamblers, making the Fair Association a
party to the direct violation of that law of
the State which prohibits the sale of aIco-
holic drinks within two miles of any such
fair, and it is the sense of this convention
that all lovers of law and order should with
draw all patronage from said fair until il
shall abate said nuisances.
ReSotved, That copies of these resolutions
be furnished the Nelv Era and county papers
for publication.
The following ticket was then placed in

THE OLD COTERIE
Elected to Serve Another Five Years
as Officers of Company F.

Company F assembled at the armory
Thursday evening and elected captain, 1st
and 2nd lieutenants to serve five years.
The meeting was called to order by Capt
Reynolds, who in few brief remarks stated
the object of the meeting
Sergeant Frank Foust was appointed
chairman and privates Durbin and Weirauch,
tellers.
The first in order was announcements for
captain. Capt @. E. Reynolds name was
placed before the convention. Sergeant
Foust annouced that he was instructed not
to announce the name of Capt Scott who
had made a canvass for the office. There
being no other candidates Capt Reynolds
was elected by acclamation. His election
was greeted with cheers and cries of "speech." !"
In short talk the Capt heartily thanked
the company for the courtesy in re-electing
him to this honorable position, ''for," he
said, sit is an honor in no mean degree to be
elected commanding officer of this COM
pany." He expatiated on the many merits
and few demerits of the company and ex-
planned how arrangements have been made
to remedy the latter.
For 1st lieutenant there was no candidate
excepting Lieut.. Frank Reiter, who received
the election by acclamation with a whoop.
He also responded to the desire of the COM
pany, in which he announced his intention
to stay by the company in the future as he
has in the past, and that no action of his
would every give the company cause for
regret in re-electing him as 2nd command
ing officer of the company.
| After the election OF each of the above Of
ficers they did the handsome with rare
brand of cigars, and under the soothing
favor of the officers generosity, the boys
wished elections of this sort could come six

were submitted for the company's consider.
alton. The ballot resulted Putt, 8; Angus.
tine 26. Mr.. Putt moved that the nomina.
tion be made unanimous, and the motion
carried. The Lieut. made a few remarks
most of which consisted of an apology fol-
asking a reelection SO late in the canva;
when he had announced all along his inten
| tion not to run.
There were some six in the field, who al
pulled off excepting Sargt E. l.. Putt, who
made very creditable run.
After the election on invitation of Capt
Reynolds and Lieut.. Reiter, the company
adjourned to David Halter's, where milk
shake, lemonade and ci gars 'talked loudly
for some time.

COTTON NOTES.

Cotton, o., Sept. 22.-[Special. IA
negro concert was given In the town
hall last week. The company was
somewhat limited for male help, but
our young bloods came to the front
and helped them out, SO they say it
was quite concert. Nose was not in
it.
DR.. Walker, of Toledo, was in town
last week for the purpose of locating
here. This is what Cotton has needed
for long time, and DR.. Walker comes
highly recommended.
Miss Hattie Younkman visited rela-
tives in Toledo over Sunday
Quite number of the old veterans
with their families attended the re-
union of the 14th Ohio Regiment at
Mcclure. They met a number of their
old comrades and were pleased to see
SO many still alive and we'll. About
100 old veterans were present and all
are well-to-do citizens. The reunion of
1872 will be held at Waterville.
John Rushworn, who has been on
the sick list for the past week, is able
to be around again.
Frank Goodell has resigned his of

MYSTERIOUS.
Two Underground Apartm ents Found
in the Center of Our Business
Portion.

There has been not little comment at the
discovery of two underground rooms in the
rear of Leist's drugstore.
The one is directly beneath the alley, is
about rs feet square, and eleven feet high,
being walled up with brick, and coat of
cement ON the inside.
The other is about twenty five feet west of
this and is of a similar construction.
Both rooms appear to have been air tight
or nearly 80. They cannot be remembered
as having existed for any domestic purpose
by the Oldest inhabitant, and an explanation
for their position and peculiar structure is
not easily given.
1t will be remembered that the site of the
old Creagel building was on this lot. 1t will
also be remembered that said building was
the supposed scene of tragedy under
cumstances, which have never been ex-
planned; neither were the guilty ones ever ap-
pretended.
Whether these apartments discovered have
any connection with the supposed crimes
that gave the old red buildinga bad reputa-
tion, it is not within the province of any to
state, without an investigation

THE GALLANT OLD 14th.
The Survivors Hold Their Reunion at
Mcclure,

The little town of ldcClure, always busy
and lively, was ten-fold more so, Thursday,
owing to the fact that the survivors of the
gallant old l4th Ohio Infantry held it's re-
union there on that date.
Although more than quarter of century
has elapsed since the close of that fateful and
sanguinary struggle that resulted in the ref
ormation of our government, the boys who
gallantly marched forth in 81 from Henry
County and vicinity, have not all passed to
the eternal camp ground.
Quite number of them yet live to COM
memorate the valor of their fallen comrades,
and to relate the achievements of the regi-
ment, braver one never entering the field.
The Fourteenth Ohio reg't. was raised in
Toledo and in the counties adjacent, in 1861,
and was recruited between August IA and
Sept. of that year. Gen. James B. Stead
man was it's first colonel and when he was
promoted to brigadier general, George B.
Este succeeded to the command of the reg
iment. Paul Edwards, IL. ID. Kingsbury and
Alfred Moon we're it's lieutenant colonels,
and John ". Wilson, major.
The regiment saw some of the hardest SER
vice during the war. It participated in bat
ties at Wildcat, KY, Mill Springs, Shiloh,
Corinth, Hoover's Gap, Chicamauga, Mis-
sion Ridge, Ringgold, Dalton, Resaca, Ken

Resolutions.

h6SOiuItOuSs
We, the Democrats of Henry county in Conven-
vention assembled, pledge anew our adherence to
the principles of the Democratic party and unqual
fdely indorse the Democratic Platform adopted at
Cleveland, Ohio.
We denounce the Mckinley Bill as unjust and
unfair, Increasing the burden of the toiing masses
for the especial benefit of the favored few, and
compelling the farmer to sell his products in a
cheap market, and to buy his necessaries in the
highest.
We congratulate the agricultural laboring and
producing classes on their awakening to the fact
that they have been Disseminated against by
just system of legislation by The Republican party.
And we most heartily commend their organized
efforts to better their conditions. And we call at
tention to the fact that their demands in SUBJ
stance the same measures of relief which for years
the Democratic party advocated in their platforms
and in Congress.
We therefore demand a tariff for revenue only,
adjusted so as to relieve the agricultural and all
laboring and producing classes of the uni just bur
dens fastened upon them by Republican Congress.
We favor just and liberal pensions for deserving
soldiers.
We denounce the administration of President
Harrison and the Billion Dollar Congress.
We most heavily indorse the excellent admins
stration of Governor Campbell and approve the ac-
CHAs. sCHR oEDER,

thanked the convention for the honor

vention to the effect that the new Aus
tralian Ballot Law provided that the
convention make provision for filling
all vacancies on the ticket that may oc-
eur before election. He therefore in
troduced the following resolution which
