The State Campaign.

We believe in making an open fight
this campaign. With forty thousand
majority behind us there is no need Of
resor6bgt to night attacks, ambuscades
or masked batteries. We have taken
a survey of the enemy and we are sat-
is6ed we can whip him in clear field
in open day, and in fair, stand up,
perpendicular party fight. We do not
believe in doing good by stealth, and
hence do not think it necessary to prac-
tice any coneealment of the fact that
all legitimate and proper means will be
employed in the present canvass to
win success. As Tom sCorwin says,
the mostsuceessful thing in the world
is success, and that is the identical
thing that we are now after. The De-
mocracy's only hope of success is
based upon the apathy, inertness and
inactivity Of the Republicans. But if
the leaders Of that party discover that,
notwithstanding the large majority in
our favor the Republicans ara not. only.
on the alert but are working harder
than ever before, 8. knowledge of that
fact will necessarily dishearten the
Democratic followers and convince
them of the hopelessness oftheir case

Two men by the name of Simmons
and Mccoy, had an alteration in Cliff
ton, West Va, on last Wednesday
night. During the melee Simmons
shot Nc Coy in the breast, the ball strik
ing a rib and ranging around the body,
coming out near the shoulder blade,
making severe, but not dangerous
flesh wound. Simmons was arrested
in Mason City, the next day, and after
trial before Justice in Clifton, was
held in $1,000 bail. The trouble grew
out of the late strike among the work

~ The Cincinnati Chronicle thinks
that "when a Roman Catholic is nomi-
mated for Governor, and the Roman
Catholic organ of the State breaks out
in fresh denunciation and abuse of our
common school system, it is idle to say
the school system is not an issue.
Friends of the system are compelled to
defend and maintain it against assault,
and take care that no harm shall come
to it through the election. %
Read what the Catholic Telegraph, Of
Cincinnati, says upon the subject; 5r
The secular school system is a social
cancer, presaging the death of national
morality, devouring the little sense Of
religion that Professionalism instills into
its believers. The sooner it is DESTROY
ed the better. z-.t .tl--s TFst
1t will be glorious day for Catholics
in this country when, under the blows
Of justice and morality, our school sys-
tenn will be shiyered to pieces. Until
then modern paganism will triumph. E
This is one of the issues of the pend
ing campaign, forced upon us by our
opponents. See to it that the result is
in favor of common schools. ao

, The County Convention.

The Convention, last Saturday,
brought out large number of our best
citizens, either as delegates or lockers
on. The Interest still taken in politics
by the Republicans'o of our county, as
shown by the large gathering of Sat
urday, is in marked contrast with the
| failure of the Democratic Convention
some weeks ago. The Convention,
last Saturday, was very large one.
Nearly all the delegations were com
plete, Greenfield being the only town
ship that failed to put in an appear
ance.
The Convention organized in the
forenoon, preparatory to the exciting
contests of the evening session. In
the afternoon the nominations were
proceeded with in order, beginning
with Representative. Candidates were
plenty for all the offices, except the
Treasurer's - the present incumbent,
Lieut.. SIssoN, having satisfied all SO
we'll as to be nominated by acclama-
ton. Of course, where so many were
contending, many candidates and their
friends were, disappointed, but they
seemed to take their slaughter with
very good grace, and joined in the
laugh at their defeat.
The convention completed their work,
and have given the people an excellent
ticket, all the nominees being good, ef-
fcient men, many of them peculiarly
qualified to fill their positions, and
above all, every one, sound Republi-
can. 1t is ticket that all can sup
port, and even if the Democrats man
age to galvanize their defunct Conven-
tion into life again, no list of names
they can select will beat US, provided
we go into the fight, with sense CT
its Importance, determined to work for
victory.
There are vital questions that arise
in this years campaign, as well as in
past years. We know that after the
excitement of Presidential contest,
a State and county election loses much
Of its interest, and the voters are apt
to become lukewarm and let things
take their own course.
Let eur people, then, take a warning
from two years ago, and not be caught
mapping. Although victory may be
certain this fall, and we believe it is,
hard work will do usino harm,. but
make our triumph all the greater
See to it that our county does not
fall behind the grand success of last
year. We can repeat it if we only |
work for it.
