II was the good fortune OF the JOUR-
NAL to be invited to take trip on the
lakes to Buffalo and return last week
Our usual stay in that city was cut
short by the announcement that the
steamer upon which we were sailing
wo aid leave the city as soon as her
load OF freight could be discharged
which would give us only 16 short
hours in the city and while we we're Ia
menting our sudden return we noticed
the Captain was closely observing his
barometer and hurrying all hands to
get rid Of the vessels load. Little we
knew that our quick return was for
our own good and when nearing the
upper end OF Lake Erie after slight
sinking up during the night our vessel
passed the lll-lated Dean Richmond
when signals were exchanged between
tho two boats, friends waived adieu.
and God speed from the decks OF either
vessel. Our steamer arrived at the har-
Dor in safety, but the telegraph brings
us news that the salute from the whis-
tie OF the steamer Dean Richmond to
us was perhaps the last she ever gave;
that the waving Of hands and hand.
kerchiefs from those friends who were
gathered on her decks were last long
farewell signals OF friends who were
parting forever. The steamer on
which we sailed arrived safely in the
barber, while the Richmond went
down in the angry billows of the lake and
the friends to whom we waived fare
we'll found a watery grave, yet we hope
their souls have landed safely In the
haven OF rest hey ond the mighty deeL.
1t Is strange how many different
yarns our Democratic friends are using
this fall to try and coax Republicans
away from the county ticket.
They say Hon. B. F. James don't own
any property and don't pay taxes in
Wood county. It's lie, of course, but
suppose it were true? 1t is good Dem
ocratic doctrine to even go outside oil
the State to get man for Senator, SC
why should it he necessary for James
to own property in Wood county in or
der to be elected Representative? Not
at all necessary, according to Ohio
Democratic doctrine.
They say that Judge Nearing way
back in 1872, voted for Greeley, and
the man who wrote the letter
for the Democrat didn't have
honor enough about him to sign hi:
name to the item. The same cores
pondent also said that he was a green
backer. That he was a greenbackeI
was false, that he voted for Greeley
was true, and when he voted for Gree
lev he did 80 because he had beer
taught by Greeley's own writing,
to love the old man for his noble ma
ture, and his abolitionist views, and il
voting for him he certainly did moth
ing of which he should be ashamed
!, nor which should be thrown up agains
him twenty-one years later, after hav
!. ing faithfully clung TO the Republican
party all these years. There is not
, man on the whole Democratic ticke
whose reputation, morally, politically
financially, or in any other way, is bel
ter than that OF Judge Nearing.
They say that George Gaghan vote
and worked against Richard Biggl
- which is another falsehood. Georg
Gaghan has always been one of th
- most faithful workers in the Republ
20 can party in Wood county, and th
D. few people who are sufficiently degra,
o cd to circulate such lies don't expe'
c people who arc acquainted with Gagl

N on the hope that there are few II
publicans in the county who don
ID know Gaghan personally, to belie'
1t their reports and vote against hir
Ia It. is vain hope as they will learn
November.
AS yet nobody is saying anvthir
IN against Joe Baird except Dan Klingle

:, that report Is started by Dan in O
u der to have the public condemn the r
le port as false.
Good Looks.
