At the Centennial Exhibition at Colum-
bus in September. 1
General s. II. Hurst met the various
Centennial Committees of the county
Saturday in the room Of the Agricultu,
raj Society. His trip through Northern
Ohio was for the purpose of ascertain
ing definitely what counties wouldmake
county exhibits in the Agricultural and
horticultural departments OF the Cen
tennial Exposition, and for the purpose
of giving information to the various
county societies. Thirty counties have
already applied for space in the Agrl-
cultural department and twenty five in
the Horticultural. MollyStark will en-
deavor to make an exhibit In Dotn
worthy the resources OF the county. In
order to do this the local society must
have the hearty cooperation OF every
live progressive farmer. General
Hurst stated that the management at
Columbus was erecting an immense
auditorium, capable OF seating lO,OOo
people. Various societies throughout
the state had engaged this space for
seventeen days out of the entire time
for the purpose of holding conventions
and other meetings. Pioneers day will
be the third day Of the first week, and
he urged the pioneer societies OF this
county to be represented. An old-fash-
toned singing school, composed OF a
number Of old ladies and gentlemen
from Bellefontaine, will sing some OF
the old songs or 40 or 80 years ago, in
fact conduct an old, fashioned singing
school.
Quite a large number Of states have
applied for space in which to make ex,
hfbits. The prospects and the interest
manifested throughout the state gives
/ assurance of a grand exhibit sneh as
LOhio never before witnessed. Oircu-
lars containing information as to the
progress, requirements, etc, will be is
sued from time to time, by both the
state and county organizations.
During the afternoon the various
| county committees met and formulat-
ed plans for the work before them.
On Jnue II at 1 p. m. the county So
ciety will hold a general meeting in the
rooms ssof the Agricultural Society for
the purpose of hearing reports OF the
various committees and arranging de
tails for more complete work. Every
body is invited and urgedto be present

The Columbus Dispatch is a Repub-
lican organ of somewhat independent
tactics. 1t is disposed to antagonize
John sherman. In the last issue to
hand it gives Sherman some violent
digs on his soldier and financial record,
that cannot fail to prove worrisome.
We quOte:TM ta .,e.
-l"Nr. Sherman, for example, if what
is said by some Republicans is true,
will, if nominated, be confronted with
this question: Why did you vote topay
gold OF silver to the persons who loan
ed the government money to carry on
the war, and refuse to make the $13 in
paper paid to the soldiers, when that
sum in paper was worth but $3.50, good
as gold? IfiMr. Sherman did this, and
we believe the record will not only show
that he did, but some other things af-
fecting the interests of soldiers in a
similar way, the record is made.
Whether right or wrong, it must neces-
sarily become a factor in a close cam
paiQn." g..

A Pleasant Social Affair in Plain Town
s % Nh ship.
THE Bairo family held their first an
'nual reunion June z, on the farm of
Jefferson Bair, in Plain township.
About g. O'Clock in the morning the
relatives began to arrive, and by twelve
o'clock about 175 sat down to a splen-
did meal prepared by the host and host
ess and the wives and daughters o fthe
visitors. Photographer Manley, of
Canton, took the party in a group, af-
ter which A.. McGregor of this city was
called upon for a talk. The speaker
gave an account of his early experience
III this vicinity, and of his social and
business relations with the gathering
The speaker also gave an account Of
his trip TO Benny Scotland. Following
this came the election of officers, which
resulted as follows: President, John
Grub: vice president, Jefferson Bair;
secretary, G. J. Snyder; treasurer, Geo.
A. Hake; orator and historian, Major
Frank Baird; committee on arrange
ments, Lew Camp and Allen and Dan

THE DEMOCRAT Office received a
pleasant call from Hon. A, R. Haines,
of Carroll, who is just returning from
the st. Louis Convention. Mr.. Haines
left Columbus last evening, where he
attended two overlooking receptions
given the next Vice President, at his
own home. He says Humans voice
is as strong as a boys, and that he is in
robust health and in the full vigOr of
his wonderful mental vitality. TOlook
at him and hear him talk, it would not
be suspected that he was owe So years
old. Mr. Haines is full of enthusiasm
over the grand work of the Democratic
convention. 1t was remarkable alike
for wisdom and harmony.

party has failed to materialize1n atarin
bin. or a bill to reduce the surplus.
The Republicans concede that the sar-
plus must be a%nnihilated, and where is
their plan of humiliation. It's am Jng
the many memorable %utterances of our
own Mckinley thatthis dead moneynow
in the United States Treasury must be
returned to the people. In fact, Nc
Kinley goes further. He saysthe ques-
ton Of the disposition of the Treasury
surplus is the most vital political ques-
ton of the hour. We know what Nc
Kinley's plan is; but where is the plan
of the Republican party. Mckinley,
Kelly, Reed and Burrows, the Republic
can leaders in Congress cannot agree
among themselves, even on a plan.
The Republican caueuses ofthe House
of Representatives have always ad-
iourned on a radical disagreement.
Today, after a continuous session OF
oyer six months, the Republicans in
the House Of Representatives have
been unable to agree upon a tariff bill
At this writing the Republicans in Con,
gress are without any tariff policy that
can be m~aterialized. Theyar playing
the role of obstructionists and nothing
else. They have flooded the country
with protection talk; cheap demagogr
ical talk, if you please.
But where is their bill to pro-
tect? McKinley's plan to let the tariff
schedule stand, and take the tax of
whisky and tobacco, failed to carry in
the House caucus. The facts are the
Republicans have no tariff policy that
can command the vote of the party in
the House of Representatives.

A LONDON ~cablegram to the DEMO
GRAFT announces the situation in
Europe as very grave. a single act on
the part of any one of the powers may
precipitate war. A rupture between
Russia and Turkey seems inevitable.
Our dispatches from Moscow state the
crisis is at hand. The Gear has made a
demand upon the Sultan of Turkey for
payment of the immense war indemnity
stipulated in thelast treaty, and threat
ems to make reprisals in case the de-
mand is refused. This means the oc-
cupation of Erzeroum, which would re-
vive the complications of the so'ca4led
Eastern Question, which has, at inter
walls, agitated Europe for two centuries.

rHD DpMooRATIo PLATFORM.

The Democratic platform sounds like
second declaration of independence.
1t is clean cut and classic in diction,
and reads like a poem. The style Is
ornate, but not diffuse. 1t is a reallza-
ton and not aprOphesy. 1t recites what
the Democratic party promised four
years ago, and tells how these promises
have been fulfilled.
1t avoids the dreary gamut OF resolu-
lions on the many questions OF the past
and adheres closely to issues that are
fundamental and vital now.
1t calls attention to the many and
fearful predictions made by the Repub-
licans four years ago, in case the Dem
ocrats should obtain power, and dem
onstrates that every prophesy then
made has proved delusive and false.
The platform makes no promises for
the future, save to keep on in the safe
and true way Of the present. Like the
g. O., p. used to do in its palmiest days,
it points, with pride to its record OF
achievements, and says to the country,
we have been faithful to every trust,
why not trust us again.
The platform notes with pride the
reclamation of one million acres OF the
public domain from the hands of cor
porations and .monopolists, and the
great work Of the Democratic party in
stopping the food tide of Pagan immi
grafton that threatened to wipe out
American labor and American civiliza-
ton on the slopes of the Pacific.
The platform is broad enough for the
continent it embraces, and strong
enough to carry the ticket to the final
triumphs of the coming November.
