Spring Elections.

In every village and township In Ohio
where the Democratic organization is in
o clear majority that organization runs
strict party ticket. In the three Demo-
cratic townships of this county, Avon,
Amherst and Carlisle this is the rule. In
the Democratic strongholds of Columbus
Bucyrus, Crestline, Galicn and others of
like importance, the rule is never de-
parted from. By it. party supremacy is
best maintained. Majorities are kept up
to the maximum standard.
If party ticket should be put in the
field at a county or State election it is
hard to tell Why not at the municipal
and township elections. In the last falls
canvass the Republicans believed and
struggled very manfully to uphold that
belief, that paper currency convertible

commercial honesty and governmental
integrity. In this position they were
sustained by every writer on political
economy the world over for the last hun
dred years. They were sustained by
the wisdom of ages, and the experience
of all time therein. Yet upon that SEEM

these principles and his triumph is the
triumph Of the principles.
The conflict of last year in some form
or other is to be renewed the coming fall
more fiercely than ever. The Democrat
ic party is hostile to resumption because
it is not Democratic measure, and if
Democrats have ever prayed. their most
fervent petitions have gone up that the
measure wise and good as we all conceive
it to be, may break down. Its success
is so assured of good results that deIaa-

and its originator. rf -
