THE much talked Of joint discussion
between Governor Campbell and Major
Mckinley came of at Ada Ohio, on
Thursday last. The Governor showed
his signal ability as a dodger, and nimbly
sourried and lodged around the issues,
while Mckinley stood up sqnarely and
struck straight out from the shoulder. OF
course, each side claims a victory for its
champion. but Repnblicans need no as
surance that their cause, and that OF
protection to American industry" suf-
fered at the hands of their great tariff
leader. The crowd in attendance wss
simply immense, and the Republicans
went wild over the puIverizing Campbell
received from Mckinley.

WTHIS the memory Of man the farm
ers Of this county were never blessed
with more bountifui crops or lovIier
weather IN which to harvest and secure
them. Their storehouses are groaning
with abundance and prices are most sat

be more interested in the result Of the
coming elections than these tiilers of the
soil, and none can better afford to spare
= day at the polls. Every farmer knows
the value Of a home market, and he is
but poor observer Of political afairs
who doesn't know that the Republican
policy Of building up home industries
secures them that market Apart from
all other considerations, the farmer who
goes TO the polls and votes the Republi-
can ticket is simply voting in his own in

preservation Of home market for his

TIE nomination Of Mr.. Reynolds by
the Democratic Judicial Conference was
g great surprise to the friends Of Judge
Baer of both political parties in this
county. Judge Baer has served with
great acceptability during his term. His
ability is beyond cavil, and his integrity
ana impartiality was never questioned.
He has been so clean in his great Office"
that be was entitled, by every rule Of
right and fairness, to a denomination, and
surprise, almost CONSERVATION, prevailed
when it was known that, too self-respect-
ing to struggle for a nomination that
ought TO have been conceded, he with
drew from the struggle. or course, we
know nothing Of the inner workings of
the conference, but it is whispered loudly
on the street that he was sntagonized by
those of his political household who
failed to influence his judicial conduct.
Be that as it may, he will retire from the
bench with the unimpaired confidence of
this entire community.
