The Old Ro1nan.

Every old-fashioned Democrat in
the land is rejoicing over the fact
that Allen Cranberry Thurman
has been nominated for the Vice
Presidency. This shows the power
of good name.
Mr.. Thurman in public life stands
for sterling integrity. Throughout
his long career nobody ever ques-
toned his sincerity or his honesty.
His name means principles and
ideas. Although seventy -four years
of age and although relegated to
obscurity five years ago, he is to-
day the very hope and inspiration
of the Democratic masses. Twice
has the party in his State of Ohio
discarded him when choosing a
United States Senator. Three years
ago, when the new Democratic Ad-
ministration was being made up,
he was thought to be too old for a
Cabinet position or even a foreign
mission. Not long ago he described
himself as entirely out of politics
as an old man standing on the
shores of the river Styx waiting for
the ferryman.
To-day we have the Democrats
lighting the fires on the hill-tops
throughout the land in his name.
In ten days he has been rejuvenated
and brought to the front. His red
handkerchief is the standard to
which the clans rally. His name
is used to conjure with and to call
the gray boards from the caves.
And why? Because everybody
knows that Allen G.. Thurman is an
incorruptible man; that he has rem
dered public service for the honor
that came to duty faithfully per-
formed; that he never sacrificed his
principles, and that, partisan as
he is, he can be trusted at all times
to defend the rights of the people.
name in public and private life
Our congratulations, with those of
100000 Democrats, to the bluff,
Incorporating, resuscitated old
statesman of Ohiol The world has
believed in him through good and
evil report, and it has been staunch-
est in its friendship when the clouds
of neglect were darkest. iSatve, old

The platform adopted by the rep


The platform adopted by the rep
resentatives of the national Democ-
racy is well worthy of the splendid
ticket nominated, and words of
praise could go no further.
In all its parts it is Democratic
and judicious. But public attention
this year is concentrated upon the
tariff question, and that part of the
platform which refers to it will be
the most critically scanned. The
Democratic hosts who were looking
for an unequiyocal declaration
against the excessive taxation which
robs both labor and commerce in or
der to build up monopolies, will not
be disappointed. The mastery tar
iff message of President Cleveland
was enthusiastically inIorsed, as was
also the Mills bill, regarded as the
practical expression of that message.
Tie Democratic party has nailed
the flag of reform to the masthead.
Fhe Republican party, whatever its
platform expressions, will stake it's
political existence upon the mainte-
nance of burdensome and unneeded
taxes upon the peoples necessaries.
The issue is fairly joined, and can
not be evaded. Let the people
think well, and then decide.

The Radical mud and filth singers
waited good while for genuine
liar, aud they have found him at
last. in the person of a prominent
Rad in this city. The fellow goes
ronnd in the community, conjlring
up and circulating all sorts Of false
hoods about our county candidates,
and claims what he tells has been
told him by Democrats. The truth
is, the fellow we have here pictured
is Shiny, two-faced cuss, who can
say more mean things than any
other person in our town; and then
when he and his party organ is re-
paid IN kind. he holds UP his hands
in holy horror at the utterances of
the REeIsrER- Do you know him
by his photograph We give this
man warming, if he does not keep
his tongue . little more still, we
shall make a life-size picture of him,
and hold him up to public gaze and

OkAHAai DtsTRICT3 June l1th.
1Lr Editor: It is not our pleasure
to write to-day, but from the items
in the last two GazeHe's, in regard
to the Democratic voters at Broad
Run precinct, being influenced by
whisky and beer, at the primary
election, we have something to say.
The first item in regard to this we
paid no attention TO, as there is NO
voting place at Graham Station,
and everybody knew that it was not
true. But the next paper gives us
another blast from Union from some
narrow soul / will say for him
that l don't think he would wiifulIy
lie, but that he thought he knew
something, when he knew nothing
at all. To my certain knowledge
there was not drop of anything
Intoxicating at or near the polls at
Broad Run on the day of the prima
ry election, and if that writer should
happen on election day with bar
rel of whisky he would find that he
could not vote single man-demo-
crat or republican. We hope the
good people of Union and alt other
districts will not be Influenced by
such writer's, as we have better
class of people than that in Graham,
we would have him to know. Our
people want u Prosecuting Attorney
who is able to look after the affairs
of this county, and to fill the office
with credit to himself and his coun-
ty. 1t is conceded that Mr.. Spen-
Ger can do all this. a sheriff who
is able to perform the duties of his
office, without the aid of anyone, as
Mr.. Hanly did, and will do again, if
elected. 1t is the duty of the peo-
pie of this county when they 90 to
the polls in November, to vote for
men capable of filling the offices;
and if such is done we will most
certainly have rousing democratic
majority. In conclusion, will say to
that writer in the Ga<ette that if he
can't do no better he had better
throw up his job, for he is a failure

Hon C. E. Hogg, our able and eff
fcient Congressman, was in town
this week visiting among his many
friends. Mr.. Hogg has long been
identified with our people as law
yer practicing in our courts and his
genial manners has endeared him
to our people, and above all his up
right and faithful course in congress.
His unfaltering Democracy is well
known and he has time and time
again, defended the party from po-
litical assaults. Roane county has
a warm feeling for him and will
give him, as it should, hearty sup
port for denomination and election.
-ROane County Bulletin.
From information we have in our
possession from every county in the
District, we can assure the Demo
crazy that Mr. Hogg will receive
the nomination at Parkersburg, by
a good majority. In fact we don't
believe he will have any candidate
opposed to him when the conven-
ton meets.
