There is every indication that with the aid of the saloon influence Herrick will he successful in secur­ ing the nomination and unless there is an independent ticket put into the field lie w ill bo elected, but with no shell majority as given him two years ago, - ' The flght against- Herrick is not altogether a political one, but is brought nbout..by tho fact that bis administration has been a disgrace to tiie party that has so greatly hon­ ored b im ._Th e Governor’s ‘attitude on all moral questions, save one, the vetoing of, the pool selling bill, lias been very distastful to the Christian .people of the state. The Herrick newspapers over the state have had much to say of the association o f the church with poli­ tics. TheSe papers are .aware that the church people are an important factor and much must be done to discourage the church, in speaking against J-ferrick for ivis attitude on the liquor question. When moral questions are n't stake i t is as .essen­ tial that the church take a hand as it is for individuals. Abraham Lin­ coln said ; '‘A bourse divided against itself cannot stand, and this country cannot remain half, slave and half free, so, it is true that the. church must destroy the saloon or the saloon wilh destroy tho church.” Just so with the Herrick idea of “ fair play for the saloonist.” We say that noth itig can he done thatw ill he too oppressive towards the liquor traffic and there is no compromise with wrong as our Governor would have ns.believe.-------------- --------- -------------- While the Beal and Bran nock laws have boon passed tho latter is not as effective as it would have been had not Governor Herrick threatened to UHe his Veto power in the interest of the ' saloon. Hence he has been styled by the saloon organs as the “ idol of the liberal heart” . At, the time the Brannock law was up for consideration In the' legislature the Chisholm hill, legalizing pool selling at race tracts was introduced and it was passed by the legislature alter considerable of work on the part of Herrick, he being a member of the hoard of directors of a racing associating in Cleveland. The editor of the Amorican-Spofttmian -says lie with several other membars of dif­ ferent driving clubs were assured by, the Governor in his private office that Hit) bill would go through and become a law. After Hie passing of the Brannock law there was a torna­ do of sentiment hurled at the Gover­ nor from.pulpit and press, and to oft set the favoring of the saloonist, he voted the Chish dm bill against the interests of the, gamblers to square himself with the conservatives. Herrick at the present time is filling the Gubernatorial chair with beer on one,shoulder and water on the other. Iri a business way the administra­ tion has not been a success. There have been charges of “ graft” about the several public institutions and honest members of the different .boards iiave resigned rather than'fe- mam on st\eh hoards. Take for ex­ ample the resignations of Gen. J . Warren Keifer and Hr. Houston dur­ ing the trouble a t the 0 . 8 . and 8 . O. Home. Then there Is the “white­ washing'* given the recent scandal about tills institution when drunken men destroyed furniture and conduc­ ted themselves worse than heathens. Another case is the “Canal steal” which most all have read about. A ll these things tend to prove that Ohio is to great a state to have so small a man in moral principles as llerrick for Governor. The convention next week w ill be merely a .matter of form, in fact it if will be a farcial aiftilr, cut and dried, a gag rule game, a conven­ tion of the few, by the few and for the few. Those delegates that go uninstructed w ill he lured by every, possible scheme. Tho majority of the instructed delegates will he of tho “ liberal heart”~idea and will he handled like bo much jmtty. • Never w ill the Republican.'- party see as rotten an affair as w ill take place, next week, " ' We read the different dispatches that George B. Cox will be there and that he will dictate the work of the convention and operate it as lie does saloon controlled Cincinnati, fl’he mere endorsement of such a man, the- owner of all sorts of resorts, should convince the most skeptical that Herrick Is not tho nian to repre­ sent the G. O. P. Such an endorse­ ment is a millstone that ought to drag any candidate to everlasting oblivion. The Governor w ill get the nomina­ tion on a “ silver plater" bu t-th is fall let him take h is medicine from a “ cast iron spoon” 7 forged by an aroused and indigant moral senti­ ment. - DOUBLE TRACKING. Tile railroad company is at work distributing material along the line ready for the double track. The grading will not be done by .the company as is usually the ease, but has been let to a contracting firm, Simpson & Company .of Pittsburg.

W illiamson 1 and D., Braclfuto and Son will have large .claims for damages. t A MATTEROFHEALTH POWDER AfetalittelyPiirft „ mmsipsmm SLOW The ditcher for the Buckeye Gas line has been taken from the Owen’s farm south of town and placed in a field belonging to Mr. “Andrew Winter. The change was juafle hy the company from,the fact that the heavy rains have made it impossible to work bn the Owen's farm, and i t was thought that themachine would work better in a different kind of soil. The rains still continued and the men have given up all hopes of much being done this week: DOG DAYS FOR SUR^. During the past week or ten days there have been a number of dogs go out by the poisoning route, and if tho poisoner continues tho work much longer lie will soon run out of dogs. I t was reported on the street Thurs­ day tha t seven dogs died or were killed the nightprevious. The coach dog belonging to Mr. George Boyd wont hind, supposed to have been cau sed .b y a slight dose of poison, After considerable of a chase and after a number of other -dogs were bitten the dog was killed, The dog belonging to James Gray took siolc about noon Thursday and in a short time was hauled to his happy hunt­ ing ground. Some •nights ago a dog was found in with Mr. K. E , Curry’s hogs something very unusal. Mr. Corry shot the dog hut it managed to got away. Yellow Springs is said to he having about’tho same experi­ ence in the poisoning of dogs. COLT SHOW..

OAK LAWN, The following is taken from the Dayton Herald which speaks well for one of our Greene county stock farms: ■ “Oharmihgiy situated on the Old-, town- ancl Clifton pike, about four ancl one-half miles north of the beautiful city of Xenia, O., is the Oak Lawn Stock Farm, owned by W. Bryson—which—comprises-some- 600 acres of h igh ly improved land, with well arranged barns, first-class half-inile tractkrarul everything nec­ essary for a first-class breeding farm There are-several small streams of pure water, that winds their coarse through tho many fine pasture fields and the writer noticed in particular the beautiful tract of fine woodland pasture where the farm’s great matrons ancl their frollcksome foals roamed at leisure. Oak Lawn Farm is also the home of a choice collec­ tion of highly-bred brood-mares of more than ordinary quality. Mr, Bryson is well and favorably known among Ohio breeders as a lover of the ligh t harness horse, and it can be truly said that Oak Lawn is one of the best equipped places within the state for the proper production and development of the trotter and pacer. I t is well supplied with large and commodious barns, nice stallion paddocks, training stable and ample quarters for breeding marcs and colts. To be successful in the brood- .ing ranks it is .highly necessary that those who enter the business must understand thoroughly the breeding problem and the probable result o f the various crosses and unions of blood. Mr. Bryson is a horseman who*has given consider­ able yme ancl study to the question, and lias thereby become enabled to- collect to the farm the blood that has in the past proven by tho records to be of the highest value and merit.” GOLD MEDAL CONTEST. A gold medal- contest will take place in the opera house Thursday evening, May 23, ihe following stud­ ents under the direction of Prof. Fox taking part: Raymond Liggett^ Samuel McMillan, Milton Hanna, Fred Williamson, Walter Shaw, Frank - Young, Raymond Shaw, Joseph Finney and Leroy Hender­ son, • 1 Timothy Houck, the Gedarville man arrested on a charge of assault and battery upon a lad named Beorn in 'that- village, pleaded gu ilty before Judge Shoup Saturday afternoon and was fined only the coslfi in the case, amounting to kbout $14. Prosecutor Howard ,has filed infor­ mation in Probate Cs’U't in the case of J. C. Barber, houy.r* over on a charge of assault am i battery, but the ease has not yejk been setjjfor hearing.™-Press Republic* BEING OVERDONE. Romo few weeks ago the town of Mt. Vernon went “wet” after two years under the localoption laws. The change was duo to the lax ity of the temperance people who were over confident that they could de­ feat the “wots” without any trouble. During the past four weeks there has been five murders and one suicide, and yet you wfifhear people here in Cedarville advocate Herrick, who stands for justice.dind law, for the saloon. . ■ ANTI-HERRICK. . .LORTAN, OHIO, May 12.—A t a district conference of the Methodist ministers, held at Lagrange, this comity, the following resolution was passed: “We regard t)hc renomina- tion of Governor Herrick, should it take place, by the Repdhliclan party as a direct insult to the Christian inhabitiaus of the state.

I The -High School commencement takes place tonight at the opera house and judgingfrom the advanced salo of seats there will be a large crowd.

R. Sterrott, H ie contract for the new indus­ trial building, at Witberforec was let Wednesday'to a Columbus firm, Jl, Kurg, for $38, out. Mr. John Me Lean was ihe next lowest bidder, $33,017.87.’ Tt might he well for ihe voters in this county to know something about the selection of the county delegates to the state convention, for it. la evi­ dent that the majority do not ap­ prove of the treatment accorded two or throe ofour prominent men in not giving-them q. place on the delega­ tion. As was to he expected “Boss” Schmidt dictated everything done at the convention, from the passing of the resolutions to the naming of the delegates. In the lists of delegates we find only one man that will not and .can­ not be influenced by the “Boss,*’ and he is none other than Hon. Geo. Little, ^Representative™ from „ this county. I t w ill be noticed that Schmidt never over looks putting Mr. L ittle’s name on such delega­ tions and on the executive commit­ tee. In iiict we may stato that Mr. Little is aho,ut the only man in Greene county that the “Boss” and h is “gang” fear, and of course he is always asked to accept these honors. It-has been the rule for years that the Senator, If he be from this coun­ ty,. be placed on the delegation, but it w ill be noticed that Senator Car- sonhmame is missing. The Senator in some respects should feel proud after tho years of his ministery that h e is. not listed among a lot of “things” to go into a state convention and nominate a whiskey candidate for governor, such as will be named next week at the Republicarrconven- tion in Columbus. H e was not placed on the delegation, no doubt _for fear he wcmlcLnotallow liis. vote to he cast for such am ah as HerfiokT Another man that was entitled to a seat was Hon. Horace Ankeney, hut then lie has proven , the wrong kind of a man under a Herrick ad­ ministration to 'be allowed to cast h is vote against the whiskey Inter- esfcs. Then there is Congressman Scroggy who was overlooked b y the Schmidt element, The Judge of course did wrong m holding such men ns Charles Ridgway, “Grassy” Berry and a lo t of others guilty of violating the Beal -law, and he couldn’t he recognized. To hold Berry guilty to often would likely leave the “Boss” withoutn tenant. SEMINARY COMMENCEMENT. Tiie baccalaureate Sermon of the Xenia Theological Seminary was de­ livered by the Rev, Dr. Jesse John­ son, a t the First United Presbyterian Church, Sabbath evening a t 7:80 o’clock. The graduation exercises took place in the First Church Wednes­ day evening, May 17, and the ad­ dress was delivered by the Rev. B. W. McGranhain, president of Knox­ ville College, Knoxville, Teiin. MORE RESOLUTIONS. The Muskingum Presbytery of the United Presbyterian church, in ses­ sion at Cambridge, April 20, among its other acts adopted resolutions squarly condemning Governor Her- riot. The Governor is charged with hav­ ing ‘J$et at, naught the spirit of the Brannock law, with having thrown a protecting arm about the liquor business for its defense and success” . The resolutions demand that he be not renominated, and pledge the organization, if he is renominated, to use every effort to defeat him, The following is the closing para­ graph : “I t is the will of this religi­ ous body not to support any public executive official In such abomin­ able desecration of public.trusts,” American Issue. CLINTON ROASTS HERRICK. Clinton county Republicans, on Tuesday selected its delegates for the state convention. N o t only did the convention refuse to instruct the delegates bub resolutions were passed roundly roasting tho Gov­ ernor tor the part he took m pruning the Brannock bill before . the final enactment. This is Hildebrant’s own county and it is'much of a sur­ prise io politicians to think that the Ex-Congressman allowed Herrick to fall In such*a manner. The anti- saloon leaders aided by the Scroggy following are given credit with the Work of the convention. Rev. Walter Condon, arrived liotrio from Princton, N ew J«raoy, Satur­ day, where he artended the seminary the past year, ., „ -TJio cheapest, place to get Carpet paper is at McMllla'ns, your Mr. A. G.
