John B. Peaslee, candidate for leu
tenant governor and resident of Gin
cinnati, Hamilton county, was at one
time a citizen of Columbus. When in
this city he was prominently connected
with the public schools, being principal
of the old North German school on
Long street in 1864. His services in
this city are well remembered by the
older inhabitants who were familiar
with our public schools during war
times. Mr. Peaslee went from Column
bus to Cincinnati, where he accepted
better position in the Queen City's
schools He was superintendent of the
Cincinnati public schools for about 10
years, during which time he began to
interest himself in politics. After sew
ering his connection with the public
schools he ran for clerk of the courts of
Hamilton county against George Cox,
defeating him, and afterward on his
second candidacr for reelection defeat.

labors of this Office only few
weeks ago. Mr.. Peaslee was originally
an eastern man, being from New En-

hall at the time of his nomination, and
expressed considerable surprise and as
tonishment when apprised of the fact.
He claimed he was not q candidate for

Last Words.

This issue closes the SENTINEL
Campaign work. We have endeav-
ored this year, as we have for the
past twenty-five years to defend our
party and our candidates, and fight
back and fight off every enemy
against lis. We have made no personal
assault on any individual. We have
attacked the politician in his public
conduct, and hope we have shown
that the best interests of the public
are advocated by electing Democrats
to Office.
The leaders of the party who have
been most in our way, we have shot
at the most and struck at the often
est. After the victory is won, we
bind up the wounds, and our unhappy
contemporary, the Journal Gazette,
will be taken on our knees and nursed
and treated to pink tea.
If four campaign work meets the
approval of our friends We are glad,
and should our campaign subscribers
think the paper is worth what We ask
for it, we shall be grateful if they
continue their subscription.
Let all our Democratic readers
from this hour keep up the fight, and
Hooking county will be redeemed.

Farmers on Salary Grab.

The farmers of the state are begin
ming to wake up to some of the
wrongs done them by recent Repub-
lican Legislature.
"Resolved, That it is our opinion, "
said the farmers of Coshoctcn county
at recent meeting. ''that our Ohio
legislature IN resolving to have bien :
MEL sessions. yet voting to them
selves full pay, as though they sat
quietly at home with their wives
and children, in their chimney cor

a farce of Legislation and justice, and
deserve the condemnation and right
eous indignation of the taxpayers up.

Col JACKSON was a gallant old
soldier. He got his pension and de-
served back pay through the imme-
diate personal efforts of Senator G. S.
Brice. Col. Jack son is now engaged
in a business that looks sneaking. -
He will be ashamed of himself. He
goes through the country, passing
Republicans, and stopping at the
houses of Democrats only, asking for
votes for sympathy. Col Jackson
may not be hired by Republicans, but
he is engaged in very small business
Fair play, COL, is characteristic of
the American man, the American
soldier. Don't make your calls only

to this COMMITTEES in aidiug it to pros
ecute its arduous duties; and | now on

CERTAINLY if it were an issue be-
tween Brice and Foraker for senator,
the Democrats would not be afraid
to meet it so. The choice between
them is the choice between capable
manllness and hare Drained, reckless
rascality. The Democracy has no
other interest than the truth in assert
ing that Senator Brice is not his
party's candidate Tor senator and that
the canvass for that place is as open
to any other man as to him.

WHAT has l.. ID. Nickers and his

Miners Union and the miners of
Ward Township, that they should
send Lucius Hull over this county to
abuse the miners Union az he did at

Does Mr. Vicker's, the republican

his speakers abuse the miners and
their organization and then like
George B Cox force then to vote tor

The Vicker's Judicial District.

Two years ago, the Republican
Legislature engaged in the hereto :
fore unheard of work of jerryman-
dering the judicial districts of the
State in the interests of the Republi-
can party. A district in which Hook
ing was to be part, was marked out,
the bill introduced, and through the
influence of Mr.. Rochester and mere
ly as compliment to him, passed the
House. The Republican convention
in Logan, held in Judge Bright's of
fee, passed resolutions in favor of the
candidacy of Mr.. Vickers for the
Judgeship in this district. Other
counties in the proposed district passed
similar resolutions. For two weeks
the bill was before the Senate, and a
Vickers lobby present urging its
passage.
Judge Huffman, who had been an
esteemed member Of the Senate, had
some Republican friends in that
body who out Of personal regard to
him, and to give him his deserved Sec
ond term in his district, refused to
support the selfish, partisan measure,
and it failed to pass.
The bill is on the calendar for the
next Legislature. Judge Huffman's
friends will not be there. If Mr..
Vickers succeeds in eleeting Mr.. Ro-
chester in this almost hopeless district,
he has the promise that the district
will be formed, and he will be the
candidate and Judge.
Vickers will deserve all this if he
wins this fight. To the victors be-
long the sp"ils. and if Vickers is the
victor the spolls are Justly and politi-
cally his, and no power in the Re-
publican ranks nor in the Democratic
party can withhold from him what
he has won in this party fight.

A Republican Satrap.

William St. Weitzell is one of gu
most esteemed citizens. In the lin,
of his calling he is one Of our mos
useful men. Socially he is a yer.
pleasant gentleman.
But in an evil hour for himself ant
our pubic welfare, he got an office
lie was nominated by Vickers on ;
momentary thought when Wood,
worth was the choice of the Conven-
tion, and he was drifted into office by
land slide.
From the moment this official Ac-
cident got into power, like all parti-
san Republicans, he has made his Of
fetal powers play for all their worth
in the interests of the Republican par
| ty, regardless of individual rights or
public welfare.
Saving nothing of the many every
day transactions in which his politi-
cal gall is displayed, he has recently
developed with all The audacity and
magisterial high mightiness of an
Oriental Satrap. He has put his po-
litical, partisan hand upon the pub
lie schools.
The Examiners from time immemo-
rial have been appointed upon the
recommendation Of their fellow
teachers, and because of their profes-
sional standing and educational re-
quirements. The two appointees of
the Probate Judge were appointed on
the order of the Party Boss Vickers,
and because of these political powers,
and not from any qualification, as the
occasional reproduction in the Senti-
mel of some of the fool questions they
ask, is sufficient evidence.
A teacher failing to pass an ex-
animation as the law requires, under
the new order of this grand mogul
can, on a petition of fifteen persons,
compel certificate from the Board.
Little Johnny wants school,
"Weuns want him in our deesstrick."
He can spell Baker and can cipher IN
long division, but he can not get a
certificate. Fifteen of the neighbors
on Buzzard Roost sign a petition. He
gets his certificate. lie teaches
school. A rat teacher, not fit to be
entrusted with feeding stock, comes
up with his petition, gets his certifi
cate, and hurrahs for the Republican
Probate Judge.
Now what do our teachers think of
this degradation of the profession
You, who have spent your time and
money preparing for this greatest and
grandest of all the professions are to
be set back, are to be denied the
schools, because incompetents who
can not even answer the childish
questions of which most of the test is
composed, get the school, and you get
the laugh.
Isn't it about time that the Teach
ers assert themselves, and thrash out
this political. partisan machine which
domineers and dominates in every
place where it has footing.
Bill Weitzell is not so much to
blame. He is fair going man. But
the Probate Judge is political pow
er, and the power of that Office is
used, no matter who or what it hurts,
for the advantage of the Republican
machine in this county.
Smash the machine. Down with
the Bosses. Give the people justice
and the teachers fair play.

The Foraker Meeting.
A Mixed Mob Of Hired
Eoodlums, Negroes
Convicts, and
Paupers.
BRICE'S TWO HIRED MEN,
FORAKER AND
VICKERS.
GROSvENOR, FALCON AND SLEEPER,
D0WNED IN CANAL MUD.

The Foraker meeting was an un-
usually large turn out, but not more
than was expected from the amount
of money spent in hireing Bands,
paying for wagons and the time of
those who took part in the perfor-
nance.
The meeting cost Bushnell thou
sand dollars, but that is small sum
to the millionaire, and not as
much as the fee of Sleepers lawyers
in his canal steal.
The speeches were flat, common
place, the old Tariff talks and the
dreary stuff no one cares to hear.
The parade was the Big Thing.
here the talent of the party managers
was displayed, it was shetched to
appear long, and was interspersed
with performers like Barnums show.
The ring master was Vickers. His
principle performing elephants were
Foraker, Sill Pursell, Alex Sands,
John White and Will Keynes while
Grosvenor, Falcon, Sleeper and
Phil Rochester were wax works.
Judge Weltzell and his school exam-
iners were the wild hairy men of
Timbuctoo.
The committee had arranged to
escort Foraker in a carriage, Vickers
to ride by his side The Bushnelic lub
resolved that Foraker should walk
with Pursell. Vickers captured his
man, got him in the carriage, but
" hen the caravun reached the canal,
the Sleeper rail road track, Pursell
and his gang stopped the team, took
Foraker out and made him hoof it
with the boys down main street.
A wagon in the prade represented
Cal Brice In his private car. Cal was
represented as Director of the HOOK
ing Valley Rail road paying ont cash
to his attorneys, Foraker and VicK-
ers, the one for denouncing the
Sleeper canal steal, the other for
fighting of any claim for damages a
poor man injured by the road, might
ask.
Huls had pen of his half starved
sheep, distressing example of how a
shepard may let his sheep suffer
while fooling his time blowing a
horn. The mott9s were not funny
nor pertinent. Noah Blosser, a new
recruit, was given a flag to carry.
He was put at the head of the Bush
nell club, he and Geo WarrlcK walk
ed together, George appearing in
his plug hat and making a very dis
tigushed appearance. The DarKey
band preceded Noah and the Jail
prisoners, given leave of absence,
and the State Farm convicts, ordered
out in parade by Reformer White,
were the principal surroundings of
color bearer Blosser.
An old Democrat from the west
end, who came in to see the circus,
his republican neighbors all coming
in because paid for their service,
took a few notes of the parade,

The membership of this farmers

grab.
But what do the Republican lead

So far the only reply is to ridicule
these farmers as "jays' and ebay
