report waa put in circulation on the
evening ol tbe lputlicari convention
that Frank McKenna the Democratic nom
inee for Kepreeiitative had gpent a greater
part of the afternoon in gambling in a Sa
loon with three men from ew
Lexington. The report was generally din-
credited an no one was readv to believe
that a man who bad been honored with
the nomination for the higeat ollice that
the County can elret would be guilty of
disgracing the Jtrint and confidence placed
in biio. We determined on hearing the
charge repeated to find out the truth of
the statement, am? learned of a number of
people in New Lexington who had actual
ly witnessed the affair. We went to New
Lexington and called on George Have,
wbo it wax Haid was an eye witness. We
asked Mr.Ilayes if he saw Frsuk McKeuna
playing cards in a Somerset Saloon the
Thursday before.
Mr. Hayes. Yes, I went into a saloon
in Somerset on the day of the Republican
County Convention with a number of others
and saw Frank McKenna and three color
oil men, (here lie named the parlies) sitting
at a table .playing cards. I don't know
bow long they bad been playing before I
saw tbcui. I remained about a half an
hour. There was piooably fifty persons
them, as it was, the common talk on
(lie streets aud many aent in to tce if it
was true.
Reporter. Do you know what they
were playing fur?
Mr, Hayes. 1 did not learn. They did
not have the money where I could see it?
Reporter- Foil are satisfied they were
playing for money V
Mr. Hayes. I heard one of the partie
say that they had made it pay.
Reporter. Who else law it that could
be easily found?
Here Mr. Hayes named tome fifteen or
twenty, and among the number Mr. Tun.-
K. Vepuly Clerk of the Court, and who
by the way is an uncompromising Demo
crat. We proceeded at once to the Clerk s
ollice ard found Mr. Tussing who was en
gaged in his official duties. After excu
sing ourself for interrupting him, we told
him that w had learned that Frank Mc
Kenna had beu gambling in a Somerset
saloon on the 25 lb J of August, the day of
tba Republican county convention, aud
that I bad been told be witnessed it.
Mr. Tussing waa considerably embar
rassed and replied after a few moment's
hesitation:
"I beard of it. Ask any of the members
ol the rew Lexington Band. Ihey can
give you all the information you want
concerning the matter
Reporter. I would like to hear from
you Mr. Tussing in regard to the matter?
Mr. Tussing. I saw it, and felt very
much mortified. I was asked to take a
glass of lemonade and went into a saloon
here there was a number playing bil
liards. My attention was called to a screen
in one corner ol tne room oy some oi me
party, and to my utler astonishment I
saw Frank McKenna playing cards.
Reporter. Wcr there many others that
taw it?
Mr. Tussing. Yes, a great many. 1 re
mained about fifteen minutes, when they
quit playing and McKenna treated the
party to tbe beer.
Reporter. Do you know what they were
ulaying for. and what game they were
playing?
Mr. lussing. 1 understood they were
playing Foker for five cents a corner.
Mr. Tussing did not wish to talk about
the matter, but bis countenance showed
he keenly felt tbe disgrace McKenna had
brought upon himself and tbe ticket.
We next met Tbos. A' McDonald, who
also was an eye witness. We asked Mr,
McDonald if be was a witness to the card
playing frank McKenna was engaged in
on tbe day of the Republican County Con
vention

.. . . . ... - ..
ioon on the corner of the square and saw

ored wen playing cards.
Reporter. Who was with you at the
lime?
Mr. McD. Tod Hammond, Geo. Kelly
A. D. & W. Hull, Tom. Mir tin, and u
number of others.
I met McKenna on Saturday in New
Lexington ami he asked me if I saw
him playing cards with Darkies. I an
swered yes, and asked him who beat, and
he said the Darkies beat him.
Reporter. Who was present on this oc
casion.
Mr. McDonald. James Conley and Will
Hull.
Voters of Perry County, is this man
Frank McKenna worthy of your support
Is he a fit person to a-wist in making laws
to govern our State. Are you willing to
trust the interests of our county in the
hands of a man who passes bis time at
the card table. Nut one gambler iu a hun
dred would have had the impudence lo do
as he did. It is tbe most hardened that
play cards in public. Y'ou Democrat
who are worthy of the name, will you sup
port such a man. You have him in bis
true light. There is no mi take about the
matter. We ask youjfor the sake of your
party, for your families sake, for your own
sake and for'the sake of county vote against
him and teach him a lesson never to be
forgotten.

We occasionally bear of a "late day
Democrat," finding fault with us because
we diSer with the teachings of the De
mocracy. We have the greatest respect
for our old Democratic fronds and their
principles. We stond shoulder to uhoul
der in the darkest hours of the party,
when the timid of our ranks deserted
through fear. We published the Demo
cratic Union, now called the New Lexing
ton Herald, when it was necessary for us
and some of the old tried and true Demo
crats to watch the ollice every night.
Threats to mob us on the street "were com
mon, and we had good reason for believing
that the threats were not idle talk
as the scars on others are living witnesses
to prove they have been foully dealt with.
By who? J!y the same "late day Demo
crats" who have been vilifying us on ac
count of our political belief.
The Knijjhts of Labor of Shawnee have
ju-t cause to feel proud of the magnificient "
structure they are erecting and will soon
have completed. It is not a "yliell" of a
building but a massive brick structure
built of tbe best of material and by me
chanics. The locality is the finest in the
City and about tbe tirnt thing to attract
the eyi ifter reaching Main Street. The
building is about 80x35 feet and three
stories high. The first story ia to bej oc
cupied by Dry Goods House; the second
is the Opera House and the third the Hall
of the Knights of Labor. This magnifi
cent building is a monument erected by
the sweat of intelligent laboring men. liy
men who earn their living by the sweat of
their brow. No mortgage hangs over it,
but every dollar is paid as the work pro
gresses, and as soon as the last nail is driven
the mechanic will receive the last cent of
the cost of the building.
May God speed this charitoblu order
and t.e good seed sown ir Shawnee take
root in t very village in Terry County.

The Fair.
The fair opened last Wednesday and the
weather could not have been more favora
ble. There was one great draw back;
o ir farmers; wore all .busy getting in
their wheat, On Wednesday evening the
buildings were pretty well taken up. Flor
al Hall presented a finer appearance than
ever before. The entries in this building
were large and some very costly paintings
were on exhibition, Agricultural Hall
was also well filled and the display of
fruits and vegetables was far better than
was anticipated this season. The Dis
play of machinery was of the very best
and was large. Among the articles we
saw here was a feed rack for feeding sheep
indoors. Mr. A. R. Yrost is the inventor
and has applied for a patent. Sheep men
pronounce it the best and most economical
rack they ever saw.
The live stock department was yery large
The entries on horses was the largest ever
made at this fair. The display of Cattle,
Hogs, Sheep, &c, was all good.
The racing was good. Some very fine
horses taking part and were evenly mated
The drivers however had the pins set up
and were ready to throw tbe race any way
that it could be made pay.
Every thing passed off quietly and all
enjoyed themselves. We will as soon as
the award of premiums is made out pub
lish it.
BALTIMORE ORIOLE.
Interesting- Detail of the Programme
Prepared by the Monnmental lty
for the Mardi Grns and Carni
val in October.
The success of the Baltimore's big cele
bration last year exhuberated her citizens
and in mastering all its manifold details
so perfectly, gained an experience whi
tbis year will be turned to the best possi
ble account. The Oriole celebration this
coming October will be an immense thing.
Funds ample ta meet every requirement
having been freely subsribed and placed
at the disposal oi those haqing the affair
in charge. In most respects the order of
things will be entirely eiffurent from last
year, and in the way of gorgeous and novel
features there will be no comparison be
tween the two celebrations. For years the
desire has been intense to witness a genu
ine Mardi Orrs parade without being fore-.
ed to go upou a journey of thousands of
miles. The fame of New Orleans, Mem
phis and Mobile as the centres of Mardi
(irasand Carnival festivities has spread
throughout the entire country, and when
it is promised that Baltimore shail equal
if not indeed surpass the greatest efforts of
any the cities named it means much
Contracts have already been let for the
mystic pageant, the subject illustrated in
an extensive scries of tableaux to remain
a dead secret until the night of the Mard
Graa. Mr. De Leon, the gentleman who
has designed and perfected the mystic
features, has had ample experience, hav
ing been at the head of similar undertak
ings in New Orleans and Mobile. Balti
more pays him $10,000 for this special
feature, but this represents by no means
the whole of the pageant. As much
not more, will be expended in other series
of tableaux, some of them designed and
prapared by the different societies of the
city, and others gotten up under the im
mediate direction of the general commit
tee. An entirely Jnew departure in this
sort of pnrsde will be the use of platform
cars upon which the tableaux will be con
structed and which will be run over tbe
street csr tracks. It is estimated that the
pageant will reach a length of three miles,
and under electric, calcium and other bril
liant lights, will preeent a scene to be wit
nessed hut once in a lifetime. The Mardi
Gras will, however, be but one of the great
events of three days festivities. On Mon
day, the 10th, the new water works nre to
be formally opened with a beautiful dis
play by fountains and all that sort of thinga
In the afternoon the grand daylight para'e
is to occur and will without doubt eclipse
the big parade day of last year, and to do
that it will indeed be great. In addition
to the millitary of Baltimore anil adjacent
cities, it is expected that several of the
military organizations en route to York
town will stop over and participate. Aside
from the soldier boys, there will be grand
display by Firo Departments, Masonic
Odd Fellows Knights of Pythias and other
organizations. At night, the glorious Or
atorio with its almost couotlesg voices:
Tuesday morning is set apart for the re
ception of the French visitors, and among
them, the immediate deeendents of Lafay
ette, De Barras, De Groasd, De Rocham
beaux, and other great Frenchmen who
flayed so grand a part as the allies of
Washington during the revolution. With
them will come many of the most distin
guished men of the French republic; states
men, generals add naval officers. Two
men-of-war, fully manned, are now on the
sea bound for the Chesapeake; and Balt'i
more's wellcome to her illustrious guests
will be a memoroble one. Wednesday will
witness new honors to the French, and a
general series of receptions to all visitors
throughout the city. At night comes the
glorious Mask and Carnival with all its
merry features, its eccentric costuming and
brilliant details. It will be a happy wind
up to the three days' pleasures, and if all
comers do not have the jolliest time of
their lives none will be blamed for it but
themselves. The B. & O., with its accus
tomed enterprise and liberality, has joined
in the full spirit of the celebration and an
nounces a rate of one half the regular fare
from all stations on the main line, divis
ions on the main line, divisions and
branches. Tickets are to be good for ten
days, thus affording ; am pie time for all
As is well known, Baltimore has an abun
dance of hotels, boarding houses and like
places 01 comiort, ana no extra charge
whatever will be made for accommodations
d,uring the Oriole celebration. Nothing
will be spared to make the occasion the
happiest imaginable. Baltimore people
knowing full well that to fail in proving
her claim to be the most hospitable city
in the country, would leave a stain upon
her fair fame and name time could never
bloi out.

Editor Pkes"S. The New Lexington
Herald has repeatedly charged me with
voting for an able bodied colored man in
preference to a crippled soldier in the
General Assembly. No such vote was ever
cast by me and furthermore no such elec
tion was held. I here make the following
proposition to the Herald: If the charge
which tha Herald makes is true I will do
nate to the Orphan's Home to be erected
in Perry County $100. If the report is no
true the Herald to donate one hundred dol
lars. The House Journal to decide the
same. Most Respectfully,

A Proposed History of Our County
Iruiu Its Karllest Tluies to
the Present.
We received a call last Friday from Mr. A. A.
rraliaui the publisher aud compiler of the His
tory ol Kiehland County, and who is now prepar
ing similar work in other countioa. Froiu the tes
timonials given Mr. Uraham, we can assure our
readers his work is thorough, and gives the best
satisiaction. Mr. O. Perauiug who accompanies
Mr. iiraham, called on several ot our best cuiuc,
to ascertain their opinions ot such a publicatiou iu
our county. Almost all spoke favorably of tAe
plan, and hoped the work would be publislicd. Mr
ferstilng will reuiuin in the city, aud will com
mence at ouce gathering f aots and compiling the
book, tie wui be assisted by otners, ana oy s-
comnetcnt, experienced historian, who will collate
the laets gathered aud prepare them lor publica
tion. 1 lie work win be octavo lu lorm, aim em
braces a good history of Ohio, then a complete his
tory oi the couuty will be given ill chapters, each
township occupying one chapter. By such means
every church, school, industry aud family is reach
ed, and its history gathered, it is the expectation
ol the publishers to combius Falriieid and .Ferry
couuties lu ttie wora. xnis wiu uot uetract id mic
at from the thoroughness of each couuty history.
1'he territory of vilher eouuty is hardly laiue
euough to justify a separate book for each couuty,
wiuioul cnai'ging more ior cacu couaty, owing to
the limited sale, than for both, properly condens
ed, in one voluuine.
itie lull plan ol tue dook win oe expiainca uy
the vgeuts, and we certainly hope to see the county
get a work justifying its history. This the pub
lisher will surely ao, aua our people auouiu see
him ably sustaiued both by lurmshiug information
and bv a liberal patrouaite. We appcud severe!
testimuuials ol Mr. Uialmm s work in tucuianu
couuty, a work just issued. The lirst is from lieu.
