THE JoLLIFIcATIoN AT Edo
RADIO.

uOrauO on last Satufuay, ana are very
glad to learn it vas a complete sue
cess. The town was full of people
all day. New Paris sent her gun
squad and her martial music. Edo
radios gun squad was on hand, and
she too has her martial music. An
OK was roasted and eaten-such a
dinner is seldom sat down to. Mon
roe won the banner fairly in the late
campaign, and we are glad there was
such a turnout to rejoice owe the vic
tory we have won. CHAs. L. VALLAN-
DIeHAM was expected to be there,
but failed to come. NJ. l.. HOLT,
JonN HoLDERMAN and l.. G. ABBOTT.
of our town, spoke to the jolly crowd.
1t was a grand outpouring-HoLDER
MAN outdid himself, he is becoming
a rafting campaigner; HOLT did first
rate, and ABBOTT, we'll, how a the
"noblest Roman" help talking. The
following stirring preamble and res
o%lutlons were passed with a thunder
ing and unanimous aye, when ALEX
AMBER FORD, President of the meet
ing, put the question Of their adop-
ton. They sound as if the Demo
cracy of Old Monroe intend to keep
in the front rank in this county.
Every man, woman and child seemed
determined to have a good time. 1t
was an orderly, earnest, enthusiastic
meeting great many of the old
veterans were there; we are sorry we
could not be there in person, but it
was impossible:
WHEREAS, The Democrats and In
dependents of Preble and Darke
counties, in mass convention assem-
bled to rejoice together over their
triumph in the political campaign
just closed in the interest of the Ia
boring and producing classes of our
people, and to send greeting TO the
friends of reform in the States of the
Union which hold their elections in
November, joyfully recognize in our
signal victory, in the campaign just
closed, a stern condemnation of the
policy of u opponents, which has
Frustrated every industry, brought
honest laboring men by thousands to
beggary, dishonored and demonetiz-
ed the old silver dollar, corrupted
the public service, given to soulless
and oppressive corporations cur pub
lie domain, increased the compensa-
tions of office while it has decreased
the pay OF the laboring man, furled
the sails of American commerce, be-
gotten money panics and bankrupt
cies by its resumption folly, poured
millions Of dollars into the pockets
of the bondholders by its bill to
strengthen the public credit, and
otherwise proved recreant to the in
terest of the people; therefore,
ResolUed, l. That we here express
our determination to continue
warfare upon the Resumption Act
until we secure its repeal.
2. That we will continue to de-
mand the restoration o fthe old silver
dollar to the place it so long honored
in American finance.
8. That we will continue to de-
mand economy in public service.
4. That while we denounce and
condemn the contemplate and infa'
nous means by which Rutherford B.
Hayes obtained the Office of Presi-
dent, we hail with joy his adoption
OF a democratic policy towards the
south.
5. That we are in favor of the re-
enactment of the Income Tax and of
its collection by State County Off
GERS, and will labor to secure it.
6. That we are in favor of redue-
tion of expenditures for the army
and navy, as volunteers and prvates
have proven themselves more efficient
in war.
Next Saturday they will celebrate
in Castine. JACOB BAKER and CHAs.
ANDERSON. of Darke Co, will be on
hand to address the meeting, and the
speakers at Eldorado have an invita-
tion to be present, and We presume
some of our men will go to Castine.
Keep the ball rolling, ''there's music
in the air." The Republican party
is crumbling. We welcome those
who have come over to us; keep COM
ing and let us see if we cannot, in
the interests of labor and the right,
do something to better the evil times
which are the direct result of Tie
Encouragement of the party which
is drawing close to its ignominious
end.
