None of the speakers at the Radi-
cal meeting in Eaton had a word to
say about Catholics. AS much as
we are opposed to Gov. MORTON po-
litically, we will do him the justice
to say, he is a man OF too much sense
to touch such a question. Heleaves
that where it belongs, to the little
whiffets of the party who have not
judgement enough to know that it
was religious bigotry which detract-
ed from England's fair fame when
she drove u fathers across the
Hintry ocean. He knows too well
that the record of the democratic par
ty-and the soul Of the Liberal ele-
ment which swells its ranks, are
alike a triumphant answer to the enc
mics of the public schools. He can
not afford to call up any more remi-
niscence of the past in the shape of
leading Republican editorials, such
as has been called from old files of
the Cincinnati Gazette and other
equally prominent organs. The Gov.
has learned that policital records are
troublesome.

Hon. W. D. KELLEY delivered an
address in Robinson's Opera House,
Cincinnati, Tuesday evening of last
week. The room was crowded by
men from all parties and from no
party, and the audience listened in
tently, showing how interesting the
subject and how able the speaker.
who was frequently interrupted by
the most enthusiastic applause. Mr..
Kelley and his friends are making
hosts of converts wherever their ar
guments are fairly presented, and
the tide is rising rapidly all-over the
country. The Gold-currency fallacy,
when candidly examined, falls to the
ground, and right-minded men have
but to examine for themselves and
their votes thereafter will be for
greenbacks. The people are looking
into this question and the greenback
army is gaining strength every day.

The last statement of the bureau
of Statistics at Washington shows
that the imports for July were valued
at Sal, 1885, 91, against $47,162,476
for the corresponding month last
year, a falling off of nearly six mill
ions. The imports for the first sew
en- months of the current calendar
were $316, 104, 1893, against $351,136,
9O3 for the corresponding period of
1874, a falling off of more than thir-
ty-five millions. Ifthe decrease con-
tinues at the same rate for the re-
mainder ofthe year, it will amount
to sixty millions in all, which means
a loss of revenue of sixteen to TWEEN
ty millions. This loss will reduce
the coin revenue to about $13S,OOO,
900, or but little than enough to
pay interest and provide for The

And yet the Radical yelpers Of
Ohio propose to pay nearly two
thousand millions of bonds, interest

the Greenbacks and resume specie
payment. Ifthis does not approach
financial idiocy, we give it up.

A. II. Hawley, Sec'y. Ohio Farmer
ms. Co., LIE Roy, Ohio:
DEAR SIR-From statements OF
your Mr.. Holmes, made to parties
and coming to our knowledge, we are
forced to the conclusion that our MI.
Beatty has been misrepresented in
reference to the motives prompting
him to make application for the A
gency of the Ohio Farmers at this
place. We conclude from what Mr..
H. has said that MI. B. has been
represented as acting through feel
ings of spite or revenge; and to cor
rect this misrepresentation, we desire
to make this statement: "At the
organization of Board of Under
writer's at this place, Mr.. Holmes was
active, became a member, ond pledg-
ed his honor to work all the Com
panies represented by him under the
rules and in accordance with the
rates prescribed by the. Nation
Board" Mr.. Beatty declined to go
with the Board, and gave up the A
gencies of all Board Co.'S. Presum-
ing Mr.. H. intended to carry out his
promise in good faith, and aware
that the Ohio Farmers was not in
the Board, it occurred to Mr.. Beatty
that the actions of Mr.. Holmes would
not be approved by your Co., and
this alone prompted him to make ap-
plication for. the Agency. We have
no personal feelings in the matter.
Mr.. Holmes has doubtless made a
good agent, or the Company would
not have 81 long retained him, and
we certainly shall not seek to in
crease our business by misrepresen-
tation of him or any other. We are
engaged in a General Insurance A
gency, and shall devote u entire
time to the prosecution of the bust
ness; and from long and thorough
acquaintance with the people we
have every reason to be encouraged,
c%onceiving our success. We desire
to represent one good Farm Com.
pany, and would prefer q home Com.
pany like yours to a foreign one
But we wish it distinctly understood
that we do not seek to procure the
Agency through misrepresentation
of any one engaged in the same bu.
slness. Should there be any inten.
ton on the part of your Company te
transfer Mr.. Holmes to another and
wider field, we will rely upon the re
concentrations of our business com
munity to secure the Agency. L
there is no such intention, then We
have no desire to supplant Mr.. H.
and there is the end of the matter.
Very respectfully yours,
beatty Il BosTICK.

A DYING PARTY.

Notwithstanding the desperate eff
forts of Republican leaders to gal
vanize new life into the administra,
tion party, the evidences that it is
gradually passing into the things
that we're, are too plain to be mistak-
en-. The elections of last year showed
that it had lost the confidence of the
country and the Philadelphia Times
well says:
Everything since then has simply
helped them down the hill. We have
had revelations of fraud and conspi-
racy in the Post Office Department,
fraud and conspiracy in the Interior
Department, fraud and conspiracy in
the Treasury Department, fraud and
conspiracy in everyofice where there
was a chance to steal and the oppor,
tunity to bride. Investigations have
fairly trod on each others heels, and
while a few have had a just ending.
the many have been silently ignor
ed.
That the President and his Cabi-
net decline to recognize the precari.
Gus position which the party occu,
pies, and hold obstinately to the be.
lief that the administration has still
a majority following, may be the re.
suit of ignorance or Indifference; but
what they refuse to see, thousands
of Republicans view with constantly
increasing alarm. Hopelessly divi
ded upon her questions of the cur
rency and the tariff, there is not a
single live issue upon which to make
a Presidential fight, while their op.
ponents have a sufficient platform in
their demands for an honest and
economical administration of the ma.
tional government.
This tells the story. The issue
that called the Republican party in.
to being is dead, and, as effect ceas.
es without cause, so the party must
die when the reason of it's being nc
longer exists. 1t may, in certain 10.
calities, receive a temporary stimu.
liant from the mistakes of it's oppo
nents, but any isolated symptoms Of
life it may show, will only be like
the chickering's of the candle in the
socket, before going out altogether

THE RAnIcAL MEETING

Announced for Moxa MORTON and
other distinguished Radical speak
ers to come off on Friday of last
week, considering the strenuous eff
forts made by huge posters, drum
mers, and runners, was q complete
failure in the way Of a political meet
ing. There we're not to exceed four
hundred persons present,..most of
them from town, 1t was announced
to be held at the Fair Grounds, but
it was discovered on Friday morning
that the thing would be too small to
cover so much ground, and it was
changed to the City Hall, which was
about three fourths full. There was
no enthusiasm and Morton and the
other speakers locked as if they had
seen ghost! The procession of this
Meeting consisted of one long wagon
which was full of voters, and the on
ly one we observed. We pitied the
anxious leaders as they strained
their eyes to the East, West, North
and South looking for delegations.
The fact is, the working men of this
county, the day laborers r in no
mood for political harangues from
the leaders of the party that has been
the cause of all their pccuniary en-
barrassment-the men who have leg
islated in favor of the RICH and a.
gainst the POOR, need not come ask
ing laboring men for. their votes!

men of Preble county eriH cote
against Hayes and the whole Repub-
lican ticket this fall. They intend
to vote for more money and better
times, and all efforts of those who
for years have fooled them, to de-
ceive them again, will prove unavail-
ing. They want work and bread,
and clothing for themselves and
their families, not Republican false
hoods and Misrepresentation. These
are the reasons why the Republican
Meeting was a failure, tame and
spiritless. 1t breathed only melan-
choly forebodings.

GENTLEMEN-Your favor of the 23d
is received. We have seen nothing
ungentlemanly or unfair in your
statements, and do not think you
have been actuated by any feeling
of spite or revenge. We have not
felt satisfied with the amount of bu-
siness done by our Agent this year
in Preble county, and he under
stands that unless satisfaction is Civ
en- in this respect, a change will be
made in the Agency. This leaves
the matter indefinite; yet it is all We
can say or do at present. Should
Mr.. H. give satisfaction we cannot
make a change. We cannot, of
course, expect you to refuse the A
gency of another company when we
can give you no promise regarding
ours, but should a change be made
in the Agency, it will be offered to
you.
