DECENT DEMOCRATS. 'O. The decent Democrats of Cincinnati and Hamilton county met in convention on Saturday and nominated a fall ticket. This is the second attempt of the Democrats of Hamilton county to hold a convention This gathering was a success in every way—in the character of the delegates in attendance, in the dignity and decorum which marked the procetd. ing, in the platform adopted and in the ticket nominated.

The first attempt to hold a convention was a dismal and ghastly failure. John McLean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who aspires to combine in his own person the disagreeable personal and political peculiarities of the late bosses, Win. Tweed and John Kelley, managed to secure control.of the committee on credentials which passed upon the right ot delegates to participate in the proceedings ol the first convention, that was held three weeks ago in the Highland House one the hilltop beer gardens This cemmittee on credentials was composed of fellows who were willing to go anylenglfc to obey their boss—John McLean.

The primaries were held one evening, the committee on credentials sat during the night and the convention was held the next day. McLean had issued instructions to his bummers to go into all the wards, and to fix up for a tontest in all the precincts they could not carry. In many wards they were out voted ten and twenty to one and the decent Democratic delegates who were elected went home satisfied with the^result. The next morning when tbey appeared at the convention hall they found their seats occupied by the men who had received' not one tenth as many votes as they had the night before.

And then they were Aold in explanation of this high handed outrage that their seats had been contested that the contestants had appeared betore the com* mittee •em credentials while they had not' and that the seats had been awarded the bummers who got a few votes instead ot the reputable citizens who received the great majority of votes. This infamy was perpetrated not in one hut in many wards and in enough to give the control of the convention into the hands of the John McLean gang.

So brazen and so unblushing in their rfscality were these miscreants that they made no attempt lo even cover their tracks and had the effrontery to present AS their report a copy of the Cincinnati Bnqnirer containing, not the list of deleSates whom the people in attendance on the primaries had elected but the bummers whom John McLean had selected.

That the men who would accept place9 as delegates nnder these conditions could hardly be reputable citizens goes for the •ayiag. As a matter of fact, being bought to do an infamous piece of work, tbey wen for the most part the offacouriog and •cam of the city. One of them since the convention has been sent to jail as a thief. A large majority will probablv die in the peaitentary if they get their dues As might be expected with such a gathering of the odds and ends of creation' bought to do vile work, the convention was a veritable bedlam. Many, in delight at the possession of more money than they had ever had betore at one time, began a wild debauch. They got drunk and they fought and generally ad vertised far and near by their actions that the most perilousUliing the people of Cincinnati could do would be to give over into the keeping of them act!

nominees the management of County affairs.

K'YS

Since that convention adjourned there ha9 not been an honr or a minute when by any possibility the ticket it nominated could be elected or should be elected. Its defeat in the interest of decent Democracy was imperative. It was not a Democratic convention. It was an aggregation of drunken hoodlum) hired to carry out an infamy and placed in seats to which they were not entitled by the most unblushing of frauds perpetrated by a committee on credentials as ?i stupid as they were dishonest. For such a ticket, so nominated, to be accepted and supported by the Democratic party of Cincinnati, would be to advertise themselves as unworthy ot representation in the next Democratic national convention. To have elected the ticket would have been a cruel misfortune to the people of Hamilton county who would have been plund. ered without remorse, for it may be set down as an axiom that when a ring captares nominations by money and fraud it will made it up with compound interest out of the offices. It would have been a misfortune to 'he Democracy of Ohio fur it would have shown to honest partisans all over the state that the organization in its chief city was wholly corrupt and untrustworthy and deserving of nothing but repeated defeat.

But fortunately the party in Cincinnati, which has given to the Democracy of the whole country some of its brightest and best men, has not sunk so low as to submit to the indignity sought to be done them. They met in convention Saturday. It was a convention of Democrats who are Democrats from principle a convention of self respecting. tax-paying Democrats, who pay money to delrav the ligitimate expenses of campaigns and do not have to be paid to vote. It was a convention of citizens ^and not of office seekers. None of them w^rc drunkards none of them were thieves not one of them [had ever been in the penitentiary none of them were bummers or thugs none of them were the tools of Johnny McLean, the little would* be boss, because there was not one of them all who was not and is not his superior intellectually, morally and in every other way. This ticket nominrted Saturday will grow in grace and in strength every day. It is founded on principle and represents decent Democracy. It is the organization which must be recognized by the national Democracy next year.

It is extremely fortunate that this thing has happened now. The scum that overflows from the gutters into conventions sometimes and drowns out decency must fclways be skimmed off and at all hazards, no matter when it comes. This being an "off year" is a good time for Democracy to put jits foot down on practices which, unless corrected, would and should wreck any political organization.

THE FROST. *7

The dispatches of Monday indicated a frost very generally over the country Sunday night. In its severity it varied in different localities but the cold wave covered a wide area. The amount of damage, however, was not large. Tobacco suffered, perhaps, the most and garden vegetables, particularly tomatoes, were killed, but in the case ot vegetables the season is practically over any way and had not the frost oome now it would have been here next week or shortly thereafter. Various opinions are given out as to the effact of thelrost on the corn, but the (general belief is that it was hurt very slightly, if at all. The fact of the business is that corn ie so nearly matured every where that nothing snort oi a freeze could hurt it and much is beyond even that danger point. For this condition of affaire we are indebted to the drouth, which shortehed the crop by precipitating a ripening that was its «alvation. This should be remembered to the credit of the drouth as the one good result of an otherwise disagreeable and damaging period of dryness. A crop shortened in amount some by the drouth is vastly to be preferred to a big crop ruined on the stalk by an frost.

All thing6 considered the country has come out of this frost experienoe rather happily, and a year that has been full ot misadventures and disasters may, after all, have a happy and a prosperous ending. By reason of the failure ot the wheat more ground was planted in corn this year than usual and though it will not bear as much to the acre a* its early promise gave reason to hope, it will still be more than an average crop the country over. All other things are reasonably abundant and there need be no fear on the score that there will not be plenty to eat this winter. The thanksgiving turkey is industriously putting flesh on his bones and will make toothsome picking before many days.

A noteworthy thing about this frost has been the flurry it caused among the grain gamblers on the Chicago Board ot Trade. An untimely freeze stirs them into an .activity only paralleled by a protracted drouth. or a flood, or war. The calsmities of life furnish forth their opportunities and they swarm'around on their gilded pen and buzz and shout and discount a dozen times any real trouble by

their imaginative anticipation of

citement is over it is generally found pjea

EVERYBODY and his relations, male and female, for an area of twenty-lire mil$s about Terre Haute, seems to have been attracted here to-day. Buggies, and carriages, and wagons with living freight, poured in over all the roads all the morning. They came early. Before even early risers were up, here in town, the rumble and rattle of the vehicles could be heard on all the streets. Our country cousins are early birds and do not propose to- let any worms escape them by reason of thoir tardiness.

There is a faint suspicion abroad that the cause of all this coming to the Prairie City to-day is to be found in the fact that Phineas Turveydrop Barnum is to be here with his monster aggregation of world's wonders. Some way or other the report got abroad that he was to be in Terre Haute on this occasion. Just how this rumor got started there is no telling, unless it be supposed that people read the papeis occasionally and have been admiring the bill boards any time these three months.

At any rate everybody from all the country round is in the city and thev, with all the town's people, were on the streets to eee the parade. It was something no one felt he could afford to miss. There is a charm about a tent show, with its animals, its horses, its ponie3, its painted wagons, its gaily dressed equestrians and equestriennes, its baisterous bands, its noise and confusion which age can not wither nor custom stale.

Youth would mortgage its hopes of immortality if it could to see a show. Nut being able to do that it sells GAZETTES and then branches out, being in business, into selling the odds and ends of old iron and zinc and copper and rags and paper, to raise money to take in all the sights. Sometimes in a pinch sells the legs from under the parlor stove and the wash boiler and copper kettles from off of the kitchen stove. Youth does this on the legal greund that neces* sity knows no law and to je. Barnum and Jumbo is a necessity of their naturss. Ago wicks at these things for ''age" was young himself once and the ghost of a pleasant past rises up to reproach him for not having prevented this vexatious traffic, by supplying the wants whose existence is thus unpleasantly made known'

THAT PRAIRIET0N MILL. PRAIRIETON, Sept. 5th, 1883.

the

Editor

ot the GAZKTTB:

We noticed an article in the issue of Aug., 23 over the signature of "Bouncing Bet." that reads thus: We offered an inducement to start the flouring mills at Prairieton to good enterprising men, lut she don't hum, sorry to say. Don't show up specifications, uncle John. Oh, what deception!" As this article is calculated to mislead the public mind we wish to state some facts that may put each man in his right place and the public not be missledd, as they are ia Uiis case. Wemean those that are not. acquainted with Bouncing Bet and the enterprising men alluded to. In the first place, he did offer an inducement of $500 in cash as a loan for one year, without interest, to one B. D. Wheat and Wm Armstrong and paid apart of the money and then admitted that he could not raise the money, which shows the contrast between HS and him, which will settle any dispute on item No. 1.

Item No. 2: "She don't hum." We say she does hum about two days in a week,and is making the nicest corn meal in the state and if we hsd got the money that he promised, we would have been making flour six weeks ago.

Item No. 3. fin regard to specifications he give the idea that we have not come up to specifications. We have done all that we agreed to do and a great deal more and we invite the public to come and see for themselves.

Item No. 4. "O what a deception." We claim that we have not deceived any one. We said that we were poor men and that our labor was our capital and that we couid do the work on the mill and then run it, as we were our own millers and engineers and we are here and can demonstrate the fact to any one that may wish to see. He told ns that he had that money put away for that purpose and he told us since that he used that money in his business. We made, him a note with good security and then she did not hum. Now may we not explain O what a deception. And we wou'd say to the public that this is the old reliable steam mill that John EeBaun built here and is not a wind mill and if it? was the mill would never grind by

these
