The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1885-08-27

John G. Warwick, Of Starke county, has
again been selected as HOadly's second. If
Irish nominations will hold the Irish vote
for the party which nominates them, then
surely the republic ms need hope for no as
sistance from the brave boys OF Erin's Isle
this year, since two "sons of the Sol" are
given prominent nominations on the Demo-
cratin ticket in the persons Of Brady an:
Warwick. Nearly forty years age he landed
in this country from Ireland. He chose the
valley of the Tuscarawas as his home, and
worked in tho mines. He saved his small
earnings and invested them where they
would do him the most good.
He is nov millionaire, owning extensive
mines in the Tuscarawas valley, and besides,
has large interest in the factories Of Mas
sillon. Hundreds of men find employment
in his mines and shops He had never held
Office previous to his election in 1888. He
wes given the place to weaken the republi-
cans on the Reserve and hold in line the min
ing and manufacturing interests Of the
stale.
Governor Warwick is large man, of COM
manding presence, wearing a very pro-
nounced Irish countenance, beaming with
good nature and good living. He has made
digni fed presiding officer, winning the es-
impartial rulings. He is not politician,
and has not the elements that go to make
the offensive partisan" He is a mossoack
and has no sympathy with the Paynes and
Mclean, who endeavore1 to force him OH
the track in favor of Converse.
