The Gubernatorial Candidate.

Several of our Democratic exchanges have an
nounced their preferences for candidate for Gov.
ernor DfOhio next year. Among them we notice
the names Of Col. J. B Weller of Butler. William
Lawrence of Guernsey, and several others. Col
WelIer's name is announced in the Stark County
Democrat, the New Lisbon Patriot, and other pa.
pels, notwithstanding his positive declination Of
the proffered honor. atea 7a
As the annual election is now over, and the time
approaches when the democratic party will be
called upon to put in nomination suitable candi.
date Tor Governor, we see no impropriety in
bringing the names ofprominent democrats before
the people, from among whom candidate may be
selected To those democrats already named, we
have no objections to raise; but 1t seems 10 US
that some thing is due to the counties OF this State
which have been uniformly democratic. p.
For the last fifteen years Monroe county has
been true to the democracy Of the State-not a
single whg, in all that time, having been elected
by her citizens 10 either branch of the Legisla.
ture. Her majorities have been uniformly and
steadily ihcreasing, and now range from IL to IA
hundred on q full vote. Very seldom, if ever.
has The democracy Of the State, with whom she
has. for years. been doing battle against federal
ism and federalists, extended any support to any
citizen Of Monroe. With the whig counties of
Belmont. Morgan and Washington surrounding
her, yet she steadily maintains her onw ard conrse
in the principles OF the democratic party; and has
now obtained such position in the ranks as to
make her influence felt whether in the election
Of Governor, Congressman, or State Senator.
The time, .we say therefore, has arrived when
Monroe county should be consulted, and IL the
democracy of, the State have any favors TO be-
stow, she should at least have share :,
lnview Of these things, we announce Colonel
WILLIAM o. WALTON, of this county, as
candidate for Governor Of Ohio, subject to the de-
cision Of the 9th Of January State Convention.
Col Walton has been long and favorably known
to the democracy of the State: for two years as a
Representative. and four years as Senator, in
the State legislature and ever as consistent, ra.
dical, democrat. and a true representative Of the
principles pfthe party as promul gated by the last
State Convention. He has been a citizen Of this
county for tome rs years. during all which time
he has labored for the success Dt the democratic
candidates for Governor. To portion Of the de-
mocrats of the State he is known to have made
greaticoncessions Tor the sake Of harmony in the
party We therefore hope and expect TO see this
announcement favorably received BY the demo.
cratic party throughout the State, 5as ss3

We notice that number Of our Democratic ex-
changes are in favor of the next Democratic Ma.
tional Convention being held at Cincinnati. This
is as it should be. It's time the convenience and
interest of the West should be consulted. There
seems to be, however, some diversity of opinion
as to the time. That, as we now view it, is mat
ter of minor Importance. Too late day, should
not be settled upon. eeV tF

boxes per year! But so il is, and it is only to be
attributed to fatal prejudice, or their sale would
be at least twenty millions of boxes per year in
| stead of only one million. Let all the sick use
them-they will soon be among the healthy; let
all who would secure themselves from sickness
have them by them in case OF a sudden attack; for

Thus, the estimates of Secretary Walker, that
the tariff of 1916 would produce more revenue
than that of 1912, are triumphantly vindicated.-
At the same time, the exports of our own pro-
ducts, under the new tariff, largely exceed the
imports: showing a decided balance Of trade IN
our favor. 1t is time the friends of the old tariff
would "hide their diminished heads," and never
