THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY A. .1.11 l 1.1Friday, September i 5, 1882, Central Committee Meeting. The Democratic Central Committeemen of Adams county will meet at the court room, in Decatur, on luesday, September 19th, at 2 o’clock, p. m. sharp, for the transaction of important business. All turn out. JOHN FRANCE, Ch'r. The Democrats and Greenbackers have united on a State ticket in Michigan. The subject of Sergt. Mason’s pardon is again being agitated. No man ever asked pardon, backed up by a larger petition. The Republicans did not nominate a full ticket Thursday last. Policy, my boy, governed. The Republican party is a party of principles, nevertheless. Thursday last was Republican day. The faithful were out in unusual force attending the Republican Mass Convention. According to the vote for Sheriff there were two hundred and one rank and file present. Get out of the way. The tariff commission who have been junketing at Long Branch all summer are coming west. The principal thing they will accomplish is to draw ten dollars a day and expenses. When Mr. Tilden was a candidate for President, under Republican presure, suit was brought against him for failing to account for all bis income tax. The question has been litigated all these years, and now consul for the government concludes it has no ease and it would be dismissed but they are trying to make Mr. Tilden pay the costs as the price of the dismissal of the cause, which he refuses. No Republican paper win nave me manliness to vindicate him. The Keely Motor Company have advanced to the inventor $150,000 for experiments. Anxious to know what he was doing, a receiver was appointed, whose duty things was to receive the secret of the Keely Motor. The receiver reports: Keely has discovered a new motor power; that the force possesses properties peculiar to itself; the receiver did not know enough about it to advise getting it patented. According to some people, a person is not a temperance man, unless he commits himself to the wildest flights of the ultra prohibitionists. There is no sober temperance sentiment outside of their ranks But they will find this is not one of the mistakes of Moses, but of that radical implacable and impolitic element within themselves, that is doing as much harm to the temperance cause as all other opposition combined. Our people are fair minded and fast becoming tolerant. Opinions will be gauged at the ballot box, and will perish or survive under the pressure of that law, which recognizes the survival of the fitest. Republican County Convention. The Republicans of this county met in Mass Convention at the the Court House, Thursday last. R. S. Peterson called them to order and read the call for the convention. Rev. M. M. Gleason was chosen Chairman and J. W. Tceple, Secretary. The Chairman thank the Convenfor the honor conferred. Good order was the “key note" of the party, which he proposed to enforce. They were assembled in the interest of the county. Was glad to see so many present; enough to indicate results if they would work. We are in a minority in the county but not in the nation, and must do our work well. A Committee of one from each township was selected—so far as the townships were represented—several not responding—to report rules to govern themselves in their proceedings. A Committee of five, Messrs, J. P. Quinn, J. Frisinger, J. L. Harper, W. 8. Congleton and Lewis Edwards were selected on resolutions. R. S. Peterson offered a resolution follows: Rttolved. That it is the sense of this convention that we make no nominations, except for Sheriff and Commissioner in the northern district. Pending the adoption of the resolution, Sylvester Campbell, of Blue Creek, protested against its adoption. He thought the resolution ought to be voted down. W e have plastered the thing up several times and been the looscrs. He was in for coming square out for a full ticket. Dr. Dorwin did not believe in plastering. If we see proper to nominate a partial ticket it is all right. There is such a thing as policy. I wish the Convention to vote The resolution was adopted by a large majority in the opinion of the Chairman. But a rising vote was called for and obtained, when the judgement of the Chair was confirmed. The Chairman was quite facetious. Some person inquired whether any but Republicans could vote in the Convention. In reply ths Chair said, there wtrs so many Democrats Republicans

this year, it was hard to draw the line. R. 8. Peterson asked that the townships be called for ths purpose of naming candidates for Sheriff. M ashington nominated Joseph Helmd Elijah an Cox. St. Marys named Win. Smith, which enthused several so that the Chair rebuked the excited by remarking that demonstrations of that kind were not in order until after the nomination. Wabash township named Lafayette Rape. Chas. Porter, of Geneva, and B. W. Sholty, of Decatur, were named as tellers to collect the ballots. A ballot being had, Joseph Helm received 90 votes; Elijah Cox, 8, L. Rape, 21; and Wm. Smith, 82, when Joseph Helm was declared the nominee. The Chair was requested to say that the tellers would receive tickets only from Republicans present, and suggest as a counter sign, a clear conscience and pure cold water, whatever that means in this connection. At all events, no votes were barred in consequence of the suggested countersign, though red noses and tainted breaths were not the exception in the crowd. A call for nominations for Commissioner, put Frederick Boenke and David Lahman, both of Root township in nomination. On balloting there was a tie vote, each receiving 67. A second ballot was had, when Boenke received 57 and Lahman 67, who was declared the nominee. The following resolutions were then adopted. The resolutions endorse the Republican state platform, espeecially submission. Chester A. Arthur, G. M • Steele, the public school system, and oppose clanisin, bossism, local or otherwise. The Democrat submits there is reason in all things, and a common sense application of the use of words as defined by Webster, would enable the editor to reach proper conclusions. Temperance teqple use the words prohibition, total abstinence, and temperance as synonymous words and by so doing use them erroneously and consequently reach conclusions that are incorrect. Temperance is moderate indulgence. The extremes are drunkenness and total abstinence. One extreme is one form of intemperance, the other extreme another. Because a horse is not black in color, it does not follow that he is white. The misunderstanding and illogical conclusions of which the editor of the «7>urnttZ complains of, is in using the words indicated, synonymously. If he would say what he means and mean what he says himself, the illogical conclusions he reaches would disappear. Prohibitiod is one thing; total abstinence is another and intemperance another. “The editor of The Democrat seems to continue his buzzing. He reminds us of a little boy playing see-saw -an d singing all the while "Teeter-totter bread and water, only he may mean butter instead of water. —W. C. T. U. in Journal. And the writer puts The Democrat in mind of a dizzy girl who has set down on the businesss end of a hornet. She is prancing around, clear off her dignity, and dare not tell what hurt her or where she is hurt. And like the old deacon who had lost his religion, is full of interjections and bad words, regardless of church, state or truthfulness. Our advice is, take up a .hole in your belt, put on your habitual sanctimonious countenance, utter sweet buttery gospel truths and act as nice as if you were in the white tents of an angel’s camping ground.
