The Political Contest in
Columbus, o.


between the Saloon League and
the Anti-Saloon League, and, as
might be suspected, the saloons
are on one side, the churches
generally on the other side. 1t
is not a question of temperance
versus intemperance; but ques-
ton of law enforcement as to
temperance legislation. The sa-
loon people are.in favor of keep
ing open on Sunday and after IL
O'Clock at night, but the other
people want the lid down onSun-
day and at the midnight hour.
And the parties are appealing to
the city voters to endorse the one
side or the other on the coming
election day.
There, is much interest at stake.
The people of Columbus are very
much aroused on both sides, as
proved by the large registration
of voters, which closed last Sat-
urday evening. 1t is the largest
ever had in Columbus, and each
side is disposed to interpret the
large registration as favorable to
itself.
The chief Office contested for is
that of mayor of the city. May
or Badger, going out of office
soon, is a Democrat; but like the
lamented Pattison, a temperance
Democrat, who has been holding
down the lid to the best Of his a.
bility, and probably succeeded
pretty well, or the saloonists
would not be so bitterly opposed
to him.
The two candidates in the field
are, on the Republican ticket,
Bond, a clothing house man; on
the Democratic ticket, Duncan,
the Probate Judge of the county,
and strange to relate, Mr.. Bond
is warmly supported by the sa-
loonists, and Duncan is support
ed by the anti-saloonists. We
say strange, because ever since
we have known anything of Ohio
1--WE came here in 1859 the Dem
ocratic party of the state has been
largely sustained by the saloon
element, and the Republican par
ty has gotten it's majority mainly
from the churches. The great
novelty of Pattison's victory ov-
er Herrick was this, the Demo-
Gratis came out strongly in favor
of temperance and temperance
legislation. It was a complete
surprise. What! the anti-sumpt-
uary old warriors in favor OF
temperance legislation? Just SO,
and the Democrats won a brilli-
ant victory, being supported by
the Anti-SalOon League and
church members.
Having won once on this issue,
they are making a big effort to
win again in November with the
same platform, as regards the
moral issue.
It looks as though Duncan is
bound to win, for he tells the peo-
pie plainly: IF you elect me for
your mayor / shall close every
saloon on Sunday, and every
night after II o'clock" That is
positive, and the man is known
for doing what he promises.
This will gain for him thousands
of Republican. votes. And per-
haps an equal number Of Demo
Gratis will vote for Bond.
Mr.. Bond refuses to pledge
himself about putting down the
lid. He simply tells the people,
IF you elect me your mayor J
shall 60, according to the law and
NV conscience. /" This is some

ans and Mrs. VIM. North.
Mrs. McGriff, who tried to
shuttle the mortal state with a
revolver, is getting along quite
we'll and is out of the notion of
dying yet awhile.
Mrs. William Stout, a young
mother, leaves a child 22 months
of age. The young woman lost
her mind, and was taken to Ches-
terton, this state, by sister,
who thought a change would
help her if not restore her. But
hope was of short duration. On
last Sunday a week she got her
brother-in-law's revolver and
sent a bullet through her brain.
She was brought home and in
tered on Wednesday last.
Our brick streets are now CON-
plete and the city alderman have

Soon a trial will be called where
in a wife wishes to recover mon
ey lost by gambling in a joint at
Dunkirk. We hope she will win.
1t may have a tendency to break
up gambling.
The Christian church still keeps
up their meeting in the big tent.
They are having some success.
We hear that eight or ten have
come out for the better.
The people are now hustling
for the hickory nuts, as there are
a few in the woods and pasture
lots.
Dell Stanton, whoSlived with
his widowed mother, and is a
constant habitue of the county
Jail or city prison for drunken

where he could earn his keep by
assisting in corn gathering. STAN
ton may get snakes and commit
suicide, if he is deprived of drink;
he has tried the morphine route
a time or two, but the doctors
got busy and pumped him out.
What a pity that man should
lose his self-respect to wallow
with the swine.
John Robinson's show was here
on the 18th, but we did not at
tend, as we had no calf to sell or
chickens to spare to raise the
price, but contented ourselves by
viewing the parade.
Our congressman is swinging
around the circle, making speech
es. Oh, how he loves the old
soldiers lin his speeches). He
ought to know that a man with
the sense of a last years birds
nest can see clear through him.
He wants the nomination on the
Democrat ticket for governor Of
Indiana. Hully gee! will the
''Darke County Boy" vote for
him? Nay, verify. We know
him, and his father before him,
and as far as we have ever
heard they were all Democrats
and nary a soldier among them.
In the canvas last fall, how he
praised Teddy! Now he thinks
| different. It may be the late
frosts have ripened him too
quickly. But it takes a Demo-
crat to make mistakes. Bryan
in his folly made many predic-
tions that were false. Waterson
has proved himself to be a false
prophet. Oh, Democracy, how
can the party redeem their wants
or sustain their follies! Free
trade, free silver, municipal own
ership, and many foolish notions.
