Tom CorWIn Mominated.

At Morrow, on Tuesday Of last week
Hon Thomas Corwiu, was on the 18th
ballot nominated for Congress, for The
Seventh District. Mr. Harlan, the old
member. was his principal competitor,
and came into the Convention with the
strongest vote. After the first ballot, how
ever, cold Tom," shot ahead and kept the
inside track until nominated.
A silly rumor has been started since bis
nomination by the Steubenville Union,
and q few other Democratic papersin Ohio,
that Mr. COrwin was as much Of Demo
crat as be was a Republican. This is the
greatest nonsense. At the Morrow COO.
ventiou bis friends declared that they were
authorized to say, thSt "he stood fairly and
squarely upon the Philadelphia platform
of 1856, and the Ohio platform Of 1885,"
If our Democratic cotemporaries can de-,
rive any comfort from this position, they
are certainly welcome to it.

Eco CRoP OF TIE UNITED STATES
The Buffalo Express, in speaking of an
American "staple." states that it is ssii.
mated that there are l03,6OO,OO0 laying
fowls in the country, of which fifty million
lay one egg day throughout the year.
This would give the annual crop Of ls,
26o0o0,0O0 eggs and these at eight cents
a dozen would be worth 1921. .666,666.-
The cotton crop of the United States,
estimated at the seaboard, according to
the censua Of 1850, amounted to S78,-
964,928. Estimated at the same point
that isr according to the New York
prices to day-the egg crop of the United
States would amount to $259,0Il,966 or
twice as much as the cotton, tobacco, rice,
hay, hemp and sugar crogs of the South,
ern States put together.

peared in the Free Press declaring the
falsity and forgery Of an article published
by that loco sheet:

to say the least Of it, very unsatisfactory

a voucher either for the truth or falsity Of

all we ask is the endorsement VI res

HoNoR,' 10 which the Press article refers
may be true, and probably is--for any.
thing we know. The writer says ii is-
the great defeated say il is not, and so
the case stands. How far their denial
goes to establish its falsity, is a plain ques-
ton. Zach denies for himself. and we
are satisfied that the writer of 'PoN Hon.

statement, as each individual who signed
the Free Press articles is for his. 1t is
mere issue Of veracity and the Free Press

black Republicans, and always pass adveI

H We were sorry to see the disposi.
ton manifested by W. R. Lloyd, Esq, ol
Jefferson, formerly Of this county, towards
the Carroll Delegation at The Harlem
Springs Convention, on last Thursday
he appeared to manifest a disposition that,
to say the least Of it, was unkind and un.
courteous towards bis old friends Of this
county. He seemed to think that Carroll
was an intruder that did not belong there,
and consequently should not be allowed in
the ring. His uncouteous conduct to-
wards her delegation appeared to be inten.

But Mr.. Lloyd was the last man who
should have attempted to prevent the free

well aware of her stability and unflinching
integrity in tie cause Of Republicanism !;
he knew that she had ever been true as
steel to the party, and that whether she
succeeded in her choice of candidate or
not, she would remain SO. He had right
to know these things, for he formerly
dwelt within her borders; she then treated
him kindly and laVished her favsrs upon
him. Then why, we ask, should he at
tempt to choke the utterauce of her opin.

judicial Convention,

This convention will meet at Alliance
on Tuesday the I'd of Sept. next for the
purpose of nominating candidate for the
Office of Common Pleas Judge composed
Of one delegate from every township in the
counties of Carroll, Columbiana and Stark.
It is true. there seems to be slight con-
dct between tho calls published in the re
spective comfy papers, Stark has issued
her call for one delegate for each hundred
votes cast for Governor Chase, whilst Col
umbiana and Carroll have each by their
Central Committees declared 10 favor Of
one delegate from each township, and con-
sequently thus fixing the basis of represen.
tation 10 the convention. If the mode
proposed by Stark were adopted, Carroll
would have but sixteen votes, STARK thirty.
one, and COlumbiana thirty. Whilst the
township system practiced by us in Con.
gressional conventions gives Carroll IA.
Stark II. and Columbiana IS votSs.-

posed by Stark county.

The township system givos Mr.. Trip 3
delegates to 10 for Mr.. Church, which is
