Many of our Democratic subscrib-
ers have complimented us upon the
fair manner in which we treated the
Democratic convention last week. II
will be ever thus, as long as the pres
ent management runs this paper. We
do not believe in Misrepresentation
or vilification. Neither do we expect
our party to succeed wholly on the
dement's of our opponents. We ex-
pect Republicans to stand for some
thing, and our officers, when intrust-
ed with power, to prove themselves
worthy, by adherence to principle and
devotion TO public duty. This paper
is no "yaller dog" journal. There is
no collar about our neck, and we shall
not only refrain from unjust and need
less censure of our opponents, but
shall not hesitate to point out mis-
takes of our own folks, as they may
occur to us. This strikes us as the
only manly course to be maintained
by newspaper which expects TO re-
tain its self-respect.

done great wrong,as in this instance
by a slanderous publication, it ought
to be more than willing to make
prompt and complete retractiOn. Ev-
en- then ii can never wholly undo the
injury. This suit would never have
been brought had the Messenger been
willing to do this. Even after the suit
was ready for trial, it could have been
settled by the paper paying a nominal
attorneys fee and printing a trac-
ton. This its attorneys saw fit to
refuse.
There is little doubt that the Mes
senger will eventually have to pay
every dollar of the 81 800 judgment, as
there were no errors against it during
the trial. In fact, every doubtful point
was construed against the plaintiff
Mr.. Woodward, and there would seem
TO be no reason which the Court of
Appeals could find for reversal.
A similar suit against the Owens
boro Inquirer was dismissed when that
paper published, some time ago, a COM
plete vindication of Woodward and
DeWeese.
The case of James DeWeese against
the Messenger is yet to be tried. IL
is identical with the other, and there
is no doubt but what jury will ais
give him a substantial verdict, If H.
ever goes to trial.
Messrs. Woodward and DeWeec@
have both announced that they will
donate to some public use every dol
lar which they may recover, above
attorneys fees and costs. This re-
lieves them from any suspicion thai
they are merely out on a money hunt,
and show to the world that they are
in good faith seeking vindication Of
character.
The jury which tried Woodward
case was composed of the very best
citizens of Ohio county, and politi-
cally stood 9 Democrats, and 3 Re-
publicans.

in the afternoon the work was taken
to the Main Street Friends church.
where a mems meeting was held. Mr..
Wilson addressed himself directly 70
the needs of men, speaking of those
things that make and unmake man
hood. In this meeting there were two
who confessed their faith in Christ.
There were present about three hun
dred men, who gave most respectful
attention to every word that was ut
tered In the course of this address
the evangelist made telling plea for
the Y. NJ. c. A. project that is now on
foot. He classed the association as
among those forces that have to do
with the making of manhood. Rich
