Good Thing,

We notice that the Democrats of
this county are awaklng from their
long lethargy. They are erecting
Cleveland and Hendricks flag poles,
holding ratification meetings and
forming clubs and last, but not least,
are sending assistance to the food
sufferers in Ohio. The vigorous
racket and semblance Of a fight
being made by the Republicans in
this district has stirred the party up.
We are glad something has put life
into our ranks. Beastly majorities
are bad things for us. Nominations
which some considered unfortunate
are in this respect proving a good
thing for the party.
