If any one supposes Senator Thurman
has not strong hold on the Democracy
of Ohio bis mind could be disabused of
the idea by circulating among the vari-
GUS delegates to the Convention. The
old man is power, and his influence will
be felt through all the work of the Con-
vention. He is warm in the hearts of
the rural districts, and where he chooses
to lead he will have a following of all
the more respectable elements of his
party Columbus (Ind.) Dispatch.

Mr. GARFIELD, the Cleveland Herald
ct al, are already re-electing Congress-
man Mckinley with all ease. They do
not know the 10th district, its postofices
and its monitors in the shape of silent
furnaces, dead rolling mills, stagnant
shops, low wages and unemployed men.
McKinley's yawp about protection will
not convince the suffering, nor restore
the dead shops. His protection is restric.
ton, and that's what's the matter.

In Stark county three gentlemen are
named as Congressional candidates. The
question which one of the three should
be presented to the nominating conven-
ton was submitted to vote at pri-
mary election. A very good way to de-
eide, Archy McGregor, of the Stark Co.
Democrat, received the largest number of
votes of nearly 1000 votes cast, and will
be presented as the choice of that county
for the nomination. No better nomina-
ton could be made than Archy MCGreg-
or.-Marion Dem Mirror.

no appeal but 70 force the vital principle and mme-
dlate parent ofdespotIsm. THOMAS JEEFnRsoN'
The underlying principle of govern
ment by the people for the people, is
we'll stated by Thomas Jefferson. Every
good American citizen will readily sub
scribe to the rule. In no other way can
we hope for or expect peaceful and just
government.
If the decisions OF the majority are
not to be obeyed, it is force rule, which,
as Jefferson says, "is the vital principle
and immediate parent of despotism."
The history of the world is full of cases
in point, In fact most countries are gov
erned by absolute force, The mass of
the people are not consulted or regarded
only the interest and will of the lords
who rule. Hence the constant violence
and strife we have seen and yet see in
other countries, and hence the necessity
of large standing armies,
Mr.. Hayes is now President against,
and in spite, of the decision Of the ma
iority, obtaining his place by fraud for
gerry and perjury, aided by the threat
of force from Grant and the other party
leaders. This defines and contrasts the
respective political parties in this count
ry, showing which is the true party of
the people, and which the party of
"forCe." All Democrats and most Repub'
licans now condemn and disapprove the
seating of Mr.. Hayes, knowing it to have
been the work of the sCheming John
Sherman and others, who secured the
services of suitable tools to do the work
of fraud, forgery and perjury. The Pot
ter committee investigation is gradually
bringing out the facts and exposing the
rascals.
The question then-shall the majority
rule? is the "vital principle"-for if the
will ofthe majority fairly expressed is to
be trampled down, we are without guide
or rule. 1t is mob rule, which is only
another name for despotism.
The majority principle is the Ameri.
can, the Democratic principle, and in a
party sense, should be borne in mind.
When in power, let us not be like the
leaders of the Republican party, feel
power and forget right"
In this, as in most other lands, the
people have seen and felt the arrogance
of power, and the unfeeling rule of gras-
ping wealth. Let us, as Democrats, en-
deavor to restore the justice of laws,
and equality before the law, bringing
back to social intercourse that harmony
and affection, without which liberty and
even life itself, are dreary things.

Hon. GEO. II, PENDLEToN was prevent

last week. He sent a dispatch to sena-

hopes as to the platform: II hope the
Convention will not recede one particle

gained much in the last year. If we in.
sist against forced resumption, unlimited
silver coinage, ,greenbacks only paper mo.

think we will carry the State and gain

WARNING a Republican newspaper
against its advocacy of Grant, for third
term in 1880, the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
If the Democracy could persuade the
Republicans to nominate Grant, they
would feel entirely certain Of the success
of the Democratic ticket. Does the News
suppose if the question was up whether
Grant should have third term or Allen
G. Thurman a first term, there is any
possible doubt about the vote of Ohio
for Thurman?
