Where They Began.

Senator Davis, of West Virginia, is
one of the most popular men, being
self-made man, as the following rem
iniscence shows: In 1882 dinner party
was given in New York City. Henry G.
Davis sat at one end of the table, Simon
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, sat at the
other, and General w. T. Sherman at
the head. The General began a REM
iniscence of his life by saying:
''When Twas Lieutenant"
'Come, now, Sherman, interrupted
Mr.. Davis, ''were you ever Lieuten-

Old man Davidson, in Leake Coun.
ty, Miss, has son in Texas. A short
time ago young Davidson got into
trouble and was arrested and fined.
He had no money, and it was go to Jail
or raise it by some means. He told
the sheriff that if he would wait until
he could write home to his father the
money would be forthcoming as soon
as his family were made acquainted
with his troubles, and the mails could
bring it. The sheriff suggested that he
telegraph to his father to send him the
money by telegraphic money order. He
acted upon this suggestion. When the
telegram reached the Mississippi office
the operator had to send it several
miles into the country to the old man..
When Mr.. Davidson read it he was
confused and could not understand it,
and appealed to his wife to assist him.
She looked at the telegram, and hand
ing it back, said: John, that amt

some of them town folks to beat YOU

For Secretary Of State
William Bell, Jr.

Many eminent gentlemen
throughout the State have beer
named for nomination by the
Democratic Convention for Sec
retary of State, but in looking
over the list, in our opinion, the
name of the strongest and best
qualified gentleman has. been
omitted. The fine abilities and
unsullied official integrity of vii.
liam Bell, Jr.. naturally suggest
his name to us, as the most avail.
able man the Toledo Convention
could nomipate for Secretary OF
State.
Bill Bell, as the boys call him.
is the most popular public man
of the State IN Hooking county
and in the Hooking Valley
When Secretary of State, he gave
our county recognition, the first
in our history, by the appoint
ment of Judge Case as his chief
clerk. He has always favored in
every way possible Hooking coun-
ty men and Hooking Valley in
terests.
He is the strongest Democrat
in Ohio, and the record OF his for
mer canvass shows it. He is not
mixed up in any of the factionai
entanglements of the party. He
is a Democrat, honest capable
and deserving and is our choice
for Secretary Of State.

Trouble Among the Miners.


As is well known TO our readers,
the miners who have been operat,.
ing the machines in the mines Of the
Hooking Valley, have been on a
strike for some time.
Saturday last 1t was reported
that an attacked was to be made on
the wol ks at Brushy Fork. Some
days before a body of detectives
from West Virginia had been run
into the Valley to act in the capac-
ity of guards. Saturday evening
special tram brought down another
squad from Columbus, but very
strangely there was no attack, there
was no blood shed and the Colum-
bus men were sent home the next
day.
Some Of the best posted op-
orators in the Valley seem to think
there was no grounds for alarm at
all. They say that the trouble
about The machines has attracted
very little attention among the MA
jority of the men.
There is one thing certain that
the temper of the miners in the Val
ley is far different f.om what it wes
two years ago. Strangers coming
into the Valley at tiiai time needed
no one to tell them tilat something
was wrong. Trouble was written
on the face of every man wrInan
and child in the district. The
slightest disturbance on the streets
of any OF our towns was sufficient to
bring out the whole population.-t
People lived in constant eypecta-
lion of strifes, broils and battles |
They were surprised at nothing that
happened, and their nerves were
kept at such a tension that they
could safely meet all .exeginc!es.
That is not the situation today.
Aside from the dizziness following
the depression in trade, our people
are fairly well contented, and there
is an absolute absence of clamor
that wor! indicate & dangerous ont
l,re *. FOR heavens sake, gentle
men OF The press. give the Hooking
Ea'iey I rest.

sary for the Sheriff to await the

day following the Nixon woman
was taken to the Asylum. At
that place the Superintendent OBJ
jected to receiving her because
she had no change of clothing.

We were pleased Yesterday will

We were pleased yesterday with
a meeting Of an old time friend and
editor, Deacon :Shearer OF the
Marysviile Tribune. Bro. Shear
er. with perhaps the exception OF
the ancient McGregor and Father
Harper, is the longest IN the
sorvice of any newspaper
man in Ohio. He has for
more than half century been edi-
tor, priater and publisher, and is
today one of the most useful men
for any purpose, that his well ap=
pointed Office possesses.
He published along in the early
ffties the "Somerset Post" a Wing
paper, and the first paper We ever
read. In that little Office Milt Blink
ley, Walter Hood, Bill Chilcote,
men whose renown is as wide as the
world, took first lessons in learning
how to make a living. The Somerset
Post was tie first paper we ever read,
and the old copies we have saved,
are among the most sacred things
that hold the "Cid Man'' OF today
with the young boyhood of nearly
half a century ago.
BIO. Shearer after leaving Son.
erset, settled IN Mary sville, and
built up a prosperous business. is
now in his comely, gray years pos
sessed of comfortable competence.
Last year he made tour of Con
tinental Europe. Now he is visit
ing in the Hooking Valley, re-
gion where his father and himself, a
boy, came to hunt deer and bears,
and break bread with the Indians.
We hope his visit will be pleas
ant one, and that he can see with
undimmed editorial eye that our Val
ley surrasscs the Rhine and Dan |
ube in natural beauty, ana that the |
intelligence of our people rank |
them up vi Ii crown princes of the
cid country. Bro. Shearer will
spend Il week In our Hooking hills,
and will &c at Somerset next week
to meet the soldiers and the rest of
us WHO drank water from Fink's
spring.

If strong ticket, on platform
which fully voices the sentiments Of
the Ohio Democracy, is put in field iI
Ohio this year, we will win victory in
November Among the names men
toned for the mead of the ticket, to ill
the Office Of Secretary of State, is Hon
VIM. Bell, Jr., Of Licking county. His
nomination would be strong one, AMI
would strike popular chord. He would
rally the Democratic voters ofall parts
of the State to the support of the ticket.
We say this, without the slightest dis
paragement to any of the other gentle
men who have been named in connect
ion with the Office. We do not know
whether Mr.. Bell desires or would ac-
cept the nomination, but we do know
that he would make a most admirable
candidate and we feel pretty sure that
his devotion TO the Democratic party
and It's success would impel him to make
an old-time canvass, and we believe q
winning one. We do not propose to
urge any personal preferences upon the
Toledo Convention, but We are anxious
to see the strongest possible ticket nom-
mated, ana we beli.ve that with such
ticket upon straightout and unequivo
cal platform we will carry Ohio and
elect at least IL and possibly II OF the
81 C ongressmeD. If the Convention
starts the work right the voters of the
State will finish it.-ILancaster Eagle.
