Henry County and the Congressional
Nomination.

@O~-~~-~"N~ON
In our issue last week it was intimated that
Henry county should and would have can
didate to present to the coming Congressional
Convention. And now, at the request of a
large number ofthe Democrats of the county,
we this week announce the name of Judge
David Meekison for the position.
The Democracy of Henry county, in pre-
senting name for the consideration of the
convention, do not do so in a spirit of oppo-
sition to any of the other candidates, but be-
lieves it has claims upon the district which
are worthy of consideration when it comes to
the selection of nominee for member of
Congress. This county is one of but two
pronounced Democratic counties in the dis
trict and gives the largest Democratic major
ity of the seven counties composing the dis
trict. The other county, standing next in
proportion to maiorities, is Defiance, which
has had Congressman for three terms, and
is now asking for the fourth term. This is
their privilege, the same as it is the privilege
of Henry county to petition the convention
in the interest of one of its fellow citizens,
and should the district deem it advisable to
bestow upon Defiance the nom nation for the
fourth time, or give it to any one of the other
counties IN the district. Little Henry will not
skulk, but will do its whole duty towards car
rying the district for the Democratic candi-
date.
The Democracy of Henry county, we feel
justified in saying, will be united, earnest and
enthusiastic in support of Judge Meekison.
In making this announcement we deem it un-
necessary to refer at length to his life and
public service, as he is well and favorably
known within the district. He has served his
county with ability and credit two terms as
Prosecuting Attorney, and is now serving his
second term as Probate Judge of the county,
a position which he is filling to the satisfac-
tion of all citizens, irrespective of party.
Judge Meekison was reared in the midst of
our people, who look upon him with conf
dence, affection and esteem. He is one of
our most active, useful and upright citizens;
man of good ability and strict integrity.
The Democracy of the county repose conf
dence in him, and believe that if he is nom
mated at Defiance on the 18th of the coming
August he will sweep the district by large
and increased majority.

@ What more could have been expected
of Senator Sherman than his speech on the
resolution asking for an investigation in the
Payne. Senatorial case favoring it? Hon.
Henry B. Payne was one of the Electoral
Commission which passed its Judgment on
the great fraud by which Hayes took his seat
in 1877. Senator Sherman was one of the
Visiting statesmen to New Orleans on
whose report the theft of the Electoral College
of Louisiana was made. And for man like
Sherman, or any other leading Republican
politician in Ohio, to hold up his hands in
holy horror at the idea of money being used
in an election, is one that can call for no
other feeling than that of contempt or dis
gust.-Toledo American.

w The Democratic convention of the
Seventh Texas congressional district left no
room for uncertainty as to its opinion con-
cerning the President. It said:
Whereas, This is the first Democratic con-
gressional convention held in Texas, the
banner Democratic State, since the inaugu-
ration of Grover Cleveland, Democratic
President; and
Whereas, The people, as the ultimate de-
pository of all governmental authority and
power, must pronounce the verdict upon
those who hold public Offices as trust; there
fore, as keynote of that verdict for the
State, and as the expression of our Judgment,
be it
RESOLVED, That we recognize in Grover
Cleveland Democrat and patriot, who, un-
der the heavy cares of his great Office, has
displayed mastery ability, unimpeachable
integrity and heroic courage; that we COM
mend the fidelity with which he has fulfilled
his pledges to the people in the face of the
greatest pressure to violate them.

~ The Republican party is a hard task
master on the saloon men. It requires them
to pay their money, not satisfied with that it
drives them out of the towns and incorporat-
ed villages and compels them to do business
on the outskirts. Then, when election time
comes, the leaders of the "grand old party"
take them by the collar and march them up
to the polls and they are compelled to vote
the. straight Republican ticket. That is
pretty rough on the saloon men but we sup

done nehefetofore.-OhioP Patriot.
