The race for Governor of Ohio is tl ,l.c made with the hope that the defeat suffered last fall in that State v lie retrieved, and that by the Ter} - man that caused it. Ohio as a rule goes republican for Governor, but of late years the tide [us turned, and democracy seems to beiLe choice of the people.

It is a plain submission 0 I die question whether or not the citizens of Onio will endorse by their ballots the McKinley tariff bill. Itis firmly maintained by demo- colic organs that they will not adopt such a course. It is a fight of the monoiohst and the rich against the laborer and the poor.

It i folly to imagine that one person can set at defiance rules that society has made like the laws of the Medes and Persians. We Americans think the rules of for eign countries very severe and absurd sometimes, and doubtless they are to us because of our reputed greater freedom,- a freedom in many ways tar exceeding that of any known country. We smile in pity over the feet of the Chinese woman thinking them deformed, whereas the almond-eyed lady considers them bcauti- tiful. We sigh for the French girls im- mur. d in convent walls; nnd for the Eas tern beauties condemned to go veiled and dominoed through the streets; we feel re lieved not to have to back from royalty too often, and thank God generally that we are not t-s other men, but a grand, free republic, where thought and action are untrammelled. But stop. In one of our late magazines is related the incident of a young lady recognizing a a coachman on the box of a private ca r- rioge, as one wbo had served her family in :-imil&r capacity and been much liked. She nodded and smiled at him, and was much surprised to receive ino recognition wLa ever ; a graven imagac-uld not have been more unresponsive. ; '3he passed on thinking that she was perjiaps mistaken, We are the harsh in our judgement of our fellow man.

In this article, I propose to prove that we were no such thing, but on the contrary, the Northern people who forced us to fight, are and were, the rebels and traitors. Who are rebels and traitors in a political sense, for this is the light under which we must view this question. I reply, it is those who dis regard the constitution of their country, who seek to overthrow it or any part thereof ; in other words, to render it null add void. I claim that the abolitionists North did it. Now for the proof. It is well known to all readers of United States histories that in 1850, California ap plied for admission into the union as a non-slaveholding state. The abolitionists favored it, the democrats opposed it, for the reason that a portion of the territory was soutb cf the Missouri Compromise line, namely 36 deg. 30 min. After much angry debate and delay, when war between these parties seemed inevitable, Mr. Dou glass introduced the Omnibus Bill, which amongst other things, provided for the ad mission of it as a State, and aho to. more effectually carry out the provisions of the Constitution in regard to the rendition of fugitive slaves. By this compromise the The City and Country Will Unite In Making the 16th a Great Day —The Farmers Happy at The Project. ** I have heard men depreciate the ef-] ef I can’t kape up a proper sbtyle, she’ll ing, or anything an ordinary mortal I torts °f good men and women to lift up get some one thut can.” Was not that ... ... , ...I the fallen and restore the drunkard to I the Scriptural gnol? can do, the citizens of Athens will I his family and his God.

The bill thus passed, but what was the consequence ? Did they pass acts in their several states as they promised ?

It Is Hard to Waste It Some advertisers have an idea that •nly copies going to paid np subscriber* are useful to them. This is not quite ea For ovamplA, suppose a journal has 25, 060 actual subscribers to whom the paper goes regularly. Suppose it prints 5,000 extra copies a week, which are sent much as question with himself tbe propri ety ot wearing or laying aside bis uncon" vcntional clothes.” Was the latter not right I do beseech you, sister women, to rise above the level of that convt-btional young woman. How pitilul, how infinitesimal was her brain ! | just big enough to get in the idea of a strict ubedieuce to conventionality; it could not stretch further or cover more ground,— could not roaeb out a generous thought to cover the sin unpardonable of a man eat ing with bis knife, or the giving of a smile aud kind w< rd to a shop-girl. The subject is too wide and deep to be discussed here, but just this word. While I would not have you eutertnin any opin ions outre, or submit in the least degree to uurefiuemeut iu its true meaning, 1 would have you as God meant you to be, grand souled, wide minded, not dwarfed and warded te a few society conventionale.

OF HOW THE WHEELS OF THE AD- MINISTRATION ARE ROLLING. THE IDEA INDORSED. REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. The mid summer festival is the thing. Juiy 16th is the day aud a great day will be. ^ There will be thousands of farmers here from tbe country for miles around who will come to the Alliance rally, and to see the grand pageant which will grace tbe streets on that day. They will bring their wives and chil dren and together with the recple from the towns around Athens will consti tute a larger crowd than Athens has ever before seen within her gates. The idea is a good one, and has re ceived the indorsement of | numbers of the Athenian merchants and business men who have the progress and upbuild ing of the city at heart. Several of them were interviewed on yesterday and all say thbl without doubt the plan is the best one that has been suggested in a long time for adver tising tbe city and showing up its re sources. — /■ And this is not all. The interest which exists between city and country a close one, and the combination of these two events will strengthen tbe tie. The citizens of Athens are thorough ly in sympathy with the farting class, and any idea to the contrary is thoroughly erroneous. Several prom inent citizens declared on yesterday that this opportunity of showing the farmers that there is a common inter est between them and us should not be allowed to pass without making the most of it- Nothing does more good for a grow ing city, than an event which will bring crowds of people within itsgates- even though they remain but for a day. ■Vhen Athens progress and improve ment is brought so directly under the attention of this crowd, some advan- vantage to tbe town cannot fail to come about. Said a prominent citizen on yester day, in speaking of Mr. Brown’s views of tbe matter: “I think that Mayor Brown is on the Foster did not Carry out hta Program— National Politics in Ohio—McKinley In it?—Secretary Raum Heard From Again—Grosvenor Ap pointed Special World’s Fair Commissioner. ASHINGTON Juno 29.—[Spe cial.]— Secretary Foster received a most unexpec ted set back this week. HA Lad made all of bis arrangements to attend the Ohio republican con vention as tbe chief representative of tbe administration and manager of the Sherman Sensational side show. It was on the cards for him to have se" cured the passage of a resolution en dorsing the administration, so worded as to practically commit the convention to Harrison for ’92, thus shutting onr Ohio’s “favorite son”—McKinley—who if he can be elected govornor fully ia- tends entering the lists against Harrison or anybody else that may appear. And in addition to that, Senator Sherman expected his assistance in the passage of a resolution that would have placed Sherman astride the shoulders of Mc Kinley. WHY FOSTER’S PLANS ARB OOT. But all plans are now off. Secretary Foster did not attend the Ohio conven tion. Why? Because Senator Sherman sent him word by a trusty personal messenger not to oome ( and his pres ence would only intimidate tbe Foraker men who bad obtained oontrol of the convention. It was then suddenly dis covered that the business of the depart ment was so pressing that Secretary Foster would be compelled to defer hia intended visit to Ohio to look after somo private business until Thursday, and was so announced to tbe “dear public” which is always assumed to be gullible enough to believe anything it is told, if the teller be an official; but at the Treasury department they know better; they know that Mr. Foster’s grip sack was all packed and all arrangements made for his trip when he received a telegram telling him not to come, and that an explanation had been sent to him by messenger, and they know that when that messenger arrived tbe next day he was for two mortal hours closet ed with Mr. Foster in his private office, to tbe exclusion of everybody even his private and confidential stenographer. THE MC-KINLKY-FOBAKKR COMBINATION. There are rumors here of a combina- m 3m right line, when he says that we should^ tion between McKinley and Foraker, unite with the Alliauce Rally, and > the object of which is to make Foraker make tbe 16th a gala day for Athens. It will do the city good, as well as show the farmers that we are in sym pathy with 'them. But the time is short and we must take measures to perfect the plan at once. The festival is tbe thing without a doubt, and I, for one, am heartily in favor of it.” Several citizens will confer with Mayor Brown at an early date, and a definite time will be decided upon to hold an important meeting to consider the matter of trade’s display. The G. C. & N. too will be here, and will probably bring over a large crowd on the occasion. Sw«st Potatoes. The land for the sweet potato crop should be got ready-at the first oppor tunity.

It is believed here that it was this combination that farced ex-rep resentative Grosvenor to resign his re cent appointment as chairman of the Treasury commission which is to make a delightful summer tour of Europe for the alleged purpose of investigating im migration.
