radical Fizzle at Athens.
The Radicals undertook to
liave the "greatest Noyes" in
Athens last Friday week ever
heard in Athens county, but
the Noyes was a complete
fizzle. The. meeting was not
even a third as large as the
Democratic meeting on the 7th
ult., which was addressed by
Gen. G. VV. McCook.
The Jackson County Fair.
J. A. Sell, Esq., Secretary
of the Jackson County Agii
cultnral Society, will accept
our thanks for a complimen
tary ticket to the 17th Annual
Fair to be held nt Jackson,
Sept, 27th to 29th. From what
we learn it will be the best
Fair ever held in the county in
every respect. The exhibition
of Stock will exceed all former
years in quautity and quality,
and in Agricultural Products,
Mechanical Implements, and
Domestic Manufactures, the
exhibition will be unusually
largp and attractive. The ele
gant order and arrangement of
the Grouuds must prove a
source of comfort and conve
nience to exhibitors and visit
ors. Nothing which can be
accomplished will he left un
done to render satisfaction to
all who attend. It is a source
of pride to say this much of
the coming Fair of our ncich
boring county, as we are too
poor to have one at home, and
we hope it will more than ful
fill the. expeditions of the
most sanguine. Let all our
citizens attend the Fair.
Down with the outrageous
taxation !
Put it down at the ballot
box on the 10th of next Octo
ber !
You can put it down only
by voting against every Radi
cal on the enormous taxation
ticket !
Now is the time to work for
low taxes ! Tuesday, October
10th, is the time to vote against
the men who oppose low taxes!
The KadicM speeches now
being made throughout the
State are the same old story of
"how we marched and how we
fought the Democratic traitors,"
except the speakers Noyes,
Garfield, nnd others omit the
"hell, hemp, or Canada," for
Democratic traitors, because
they will have to have the
votes of Democrats or be
beaten this fall.
Harpers Weekly says there
are Republicans in Ohio who
insist that i the party should
allow the election in October to
go by default in order to de
feat the renomination of Grant
in 1872. Don't this look a
little like putting their houses
in order for a defeat ?

Were we out of our chair edito

exchango list nnd all that, one of
tlio first mngnzincs to which w
should becomo a subscriber, would
bo Wood's Household. This is n
publication wholly out of the usual
lino, and beyond tho common order
of Mngazine literature with point
and meaning, when it is gny or
sportive, and eminently instructive
when serious and reflecting. Much
of tins work is devoted to the dis
cussion of just such subjects ns will
greatly benefit, while it deeply in
terests tbo general seeker nftci
knowledge, desirous of really useful
information. Should anything wo
might say induce any ono to sub
scribe for it, wo believe they will
thank us from their hearts as bcuo
factors, so fur, nt lenst.

"0CK 1IOPK ANI "Otll JOY."
We havo recently added to our
list of premiums "Our llopo" nnd
"Our Joy, companion pictures, ex
ecuted in Crnyon stylo, on tinted
ground; printed on heavy plate
pnper, sizo 20x24 inches.
They represent two lovely heads,
a boy nnd girl, and "Our Hope" and
"Our Joy" aro just tho names for
tho dear, bright, hnppy, littlo faces.
They nro just the pictures to glance
nt when one is perplexed, annoyed,
discouraged or tempted. One
couldn't foci vexed long atanything
with Iiltle Joy s face in sight; one
couldn't do wrong with her pure
little face looking down upon him
and it wcro impossible for ono to
remain despondent any length of
time with tho trustful, confidont
face of littlo llopo beforo him.
Tho faces nro not merely childish
nnd pretty, but thcro is in addition,
a strength about them, and it is
seldom ono sees so much goodness,
truth and affection oxpressod in a
picture
Would you have "DurJoy" and
"Our Hope" in your Household ?
Would yon like the dear, chocrful
sunny countenance over boforo you?
Would you placo theso pure, littlo
faces beforo your children that they
may see tho Joy nnd Hopo that
como from boinggood nnd truo?
lloth theso beautiful pictures were
recedtly published by L. Prang &
Lo., and sold nt two doilars each.
Happening ono day to soe them, wo
"fell in love nt first sight," nnd pro
ceeded to Boston, bought tho en
gravings and copyrights, nnd are
now issuing them in such immonso
quantities, ns will enable ns to mnil
both "Our Joy" and "Our Hopo"
free to any part of tho United States
or Canada, ns a premium for two
subscribers to Wood's Household
Magazine prico ono dollar a year;
or we will give them as a premium
for a subscription two years in nd
vanco thus furnishing two dollars
worth of magazine, nnd four dollars
worth of pictures for only two dol
lars. Specimen copies of tho maga

very useful chapters for the garden

sheet, giving a valuablo resume of
tho news for a week, up to the mo

Immense Democratic Meeting
Immense Democratic Meeting---Speech of General
Morgan.
ZANESVILLE, O., Aug. 25, 1871.
General Morgan addressed
to-day the largest political con
course ever convened in this
section. A procession over a
mile in length, with the speak
er, proceeded to the grove, and
Andrew Lyons introduced the
distinguished orator, who tor
an hour and three-quarters
held the vast assemblage en
tranced while he proceeded, in
his able and peculiarly lmpar
tinl manner, to discuss the liv
ing issues of t he day.
We never heard a more con
cise and exhaustive resume of
National affairs, and the man
ner in which he laid bare the
corruptions of public officials
and the machinations of the
bondholders' league must havo
made a telling impression on
his hearers, one-uttli ot whom
were thinking Republicans.
The prospects ot the Democra
cy were never better here than
at present.

There is a law of this State
making it a penal offiense for
any person to take unlawfully
any kind of timber, fruit or veg
etables standing or growing on
the premises of another. The
juvenile idea that fruit is per
missible plunder, is therefore
erroneous, and Young Ameri
ca should take notice of this
and govern himself accordingly-

Challenges Senator Sherman
to a Joint Political
to a Joint Political Discussion---The Senator
the Controversy.
DAYTON, O., Aug. 25, 1871.
Hon. Lewis D.- Campbell,
who represents the Third Con
gressional District, having chal
lenged Hon, John. Shcrmaw to
a joint discussion of the polit
ical issues of the day,, the Sen
ator declines, as will be seen
by the following correspond
ence :
HAMILTON, Aug. 18, 1871.
To tho Hon. John Sherman, Mansfield,
Ohio:
Deak Sric r Two years ago
I reluctantly consented to be
a candidate for State Senator,
having been persuaded by con
fiding neighbors that my expe
rience in legislation would ena
ble me to do the State some
service in that position. Yon
were not then a candidate, and
your re-election to the United
States Senate did not depend
on the Legislature then to be
elected, yet you came into my
district and made speeches in
both counties assailing my po
sitions, as you had an unques
tionable right lodo;but you
misrepresented, unintentionally
I would hope, my opinions nnd
my political antecedents, which
was not yowr right, especially
in ray absence, and to audiences
where I could not reply. Jf or
this unprovoked injustice I had
then no remedy. You are now
understood to be a candidate
again, nnd have many appoint
ment to address the people of
the State. In consideration of
the facts named in the forego
ing prefatory statement, I am
constrained to suggest most
respectfully that it would give
me much satisfaction, if it
would be entirely agreeable to
you, to unite with you nt such
point ns may be mutually
agreed on in joint discussion of
the political issues of the day,
and, if you desire it, in a com
parison of notes on our con
sistency, respectively, as well
ns the general propriety of our
public acts in times gone by.
Permit me, my dear sir, to
assure you that this proposi
tion does not arise from any
ostentatious, unkind or trucu
lent spirit. It emanates from
the assaults it was your pleas
ure to make upon me, from a
desire to vindicate the recti
tude of my course, and from a
belief that such discussions,
conducted in a friendly and
gentlemanly manner, would
furnish the best means of en
lightening public opinion on
tho important question now
under consideration.
As early an answer as may
suit your convenience is re
spectfully desired.
Very truly, yours, &c,
LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.
MANSFIELD, O., Aug. 21, 1871.
Deak Slit : Your letter of
the 18 t,h inst., was received.
You invite mo to arrange that
we should discuss political top
ics at the meeting appointed
for by the Republican btate
Committee, and as a basis for
your request state that I un
justly arraigned you before
your neighbors in Hamilton
when you were a candidate for
the State Senate. I am not
aware that when speaking on
the occasion referred to I did
any thing moro than to com
ment on public nnd considered
facts, aud I certainly do not
intend to nnd did not do you
injustice; at all events you had
full opportunity to reply, and,
as I understand, availed your
self of it. I certainly do not
i . ii . . .
reel at iiDcrty to make any
arrangements in regard to
meetings which I attend by
appointment of tho State and
County Committee, but shall
in all respects conform ns to
time, place and manner of meet
ing with the arrangements
made by Mr. K. I). Harrison,
as Chairman of the Republican
Committee. Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.
To Hon. L. D. Campbell.
HAMILTON, O., Aug. 23, 1871.
To-non. John. Sherman, MjtnsfleltP,,
Dear- St :: Tlie statement
contained in your letter of the '
2 1st mst, just received, that
when yon nssiiilfed me- in 1869
I had1 full opportunity to reply,
&c;r i very inexact. Your
fmt attack was- at LeHmrawi,.
where I did not speak during
the canvass. Before yon came
to tuts city the- Democrats?
Committee requested the Com
mittee of your party to make
arrangements for a joint dis
cussion between us, in ordier
that I might defend mysrlt
acramst your attack- which
they declined1. When you
subsequently addressed the
meeting here, from whch. I
was thus- excluded, your mis
representations were repeated.
Soon after this a -Democratic
meeting was held, antl the only
reply that I made was to stig
matize some of your statement
as false, and to request yoa.1
friends present to inform "you
that I had so publicly declared.
There is not a syllable- it) my
letter of the 18th to you to
justify yoti in sayiug that it
proposed to arrange that wo
should debate political topics,
at the meetings appointed ty
the Kepnblicaiv Committee. Ou
the contrary, it explicitly pro
poses SRch points as may be
mutually agreed on, my inten
tion being to leave it entirety
to your own option to adopt
all or a portion of your publish
ed Appointments, or to make
others not interfering with
them.
I forlroar, on' this occasion,
to comment on what wonld
seem a transfer of the inde
pendence of the Senator aud
the citizen during a canvass
involving your re-election to
the control of Mr. R. D. Har
rison, Chairman of the Repub
lican Coirunittee, whose, strate
gic plans will doubtless be such,
as to provide for a continuance
of that unmanly system of
warfare that attacks political
opponents from a masked bat
tery instead of meeting them
bravely in the open field be
fore the people. Should you,
at any time during the canvass,
be released from the acknowl
edged custody of Mr. Harrison,
and desire to indulge in tho
luxury of the tendered joint
discussions, you will please
have the kindness to inform
me. Very truly yours, &c,
LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.
How the Money Goes.
