The Congressional Record possesses the dual

The Senate and House proceedings are pub

only when he fell exhausted on the

a citizen who afterwards beca me
quite wealthy, aud was elected to the

Preparing to Gust Democrats.

Already the announcement is made
Of the contest of twenty-six seats in
the House of Representatives, of the
fifty-fourth Congress, and the returns
are not all in. Among the numerous
contestants there is not one Democrat.
This fact indicates what is thought
on both sides of the judicial character
of a Committee on Elections in q Re
publican Honse.
In the Fifty-first or Reed Con-
gress eleven Democrats were hurled
from their seats in order to make a
working Republican majority. In
some instances defeated Republican
candidates were urged to make a con.
test with the assurance that the com
mittee would decide in their favor
In other instances the people of the
districts were not aware that there
were Republican candidates for Con
gress until their claims had been filed.
The extraordinary number of contests
shows that the claimants entertain
the confident belief that the iniquitout
violation Of the rights of representa-
tion in the Fifty first Congress will be
repeated in the Fifty-fourth Con
gress.

THE invalid Pension hill has I

THE Invalid Pension bill has been
agreed upon, and carries with it $141,
3S1 ,576 for the coming year. Com
missioner Lochren expresses the
opinion that the pension roll will con-
tinue to stand at that figure for two
years more, and then it will begin to
slowly decline. This ample and gen
erous appropriation is a complete
answer to the charge of the dema-
gogues that the Democratic party
would take the pensions away from
the soldiers. There will never be a
party in this country opposed to the
pensions, unless the demagogues sue
ceed in drawing them into politics,
which they are now trying to do. II
that day ever comes the Democracy
will be found on the side of the sol
diers.

OHIO Democrats are to be congrat-
ulated on the many plucky fights
they have made during the past thirty
years. With normal majority Of
some thirty thousand against them,
the party has always met the enemy
on the dead line and has won many
CONSPICUOUS victories. They point
with pride to the administrations Of
Allen, Bishop, Hoadley and Campbell
and rejoice over the fact that they
have always put up agood fight and
have never lowered the flag in the
face Of the enemy There are, always
has been and doubtless always will be,
divisions in the party as to party
policy and party leaders, but when II
comes to the ballot there is harmony,

The Democratic press is making no
such effort. 1t only had to say ''sick

DIED IN THE DITCH.
Body Of Seth BabcOck Found On the
Farm Of Geo. Patrick.

Late Sunday afternoon the body of
Seth Babcock was found lying in a
ditch ON the Geo. Patrick farm, about
two miles from Napoleon. He had
been missing for over a week, and al
though search and inquiry was made,
his Whereabouts was not discovered
until Sunday, when his dead body
was found as above.
The unfortunate young man was
evidently intoxicated when he fell in
to the ditch, and while in this con-
dition fell asleep and was chilled to
death. How long the body had lain
as found could not be told, as it was
frozen and looked to all appearances
as If death had been quite recent, but
it may have lain in the ditch for a
number of days.
Coroner Haly received the remains,
and after examining witnesses, rem
dered a verdict in accordance with
the above facts. 'Seth, as he was
known to almost every body lived
with his widowed mother in Liberty
township. The funeral took place on
Tuesday.
Almost nineteen years agoto the day
of finding the dead body of his son,
the father had the misfortune to fall
into hatchway in Napoleon, break
ing his neck. which sad accident is
ripe in the memory of most Of the in
habitants of this city.
