Squire Reigner, and Discussing the
orrvllle Convention.
EDITOR RNEws.DEMooRAT: Et uuire Reig.
ner in his article in yesterdays News.
DEMOCRAT, omits point or two in regard
to the Orrville convention of two years
ago, possibly, and probably, because he
was not admitted into the inner circle.
Mr.. Reigner is faithful to his prophet,
John E. Monnot, and compares him to the
mountain, and the late Mr.. Warwick to a
mole hill; thatis Mr.. Monnot is Ca-tar
and the man who got the nomination and
was elected, was small affair.
Let me say that no one who knows any>
thing about the XVI district, and is un-
prejudiced. will claim that John E. Mon
not could have been elected two years ago
over William Mckinley, Jr. So much for
the mountain bagatelle.
Mr.. Reigner assails w. X, L. Warwick
because he 10 reported to have said that
his father owed his nomination to Wayne
county two years ago and, that nominat-
ing Wayne county man last week by his
votes was quite proper and in order. And
was it not SO? Wayne county two years
ago was called last, and closed the contest
by throwing her vote for John G. Warwick |;
and last week, the % votes of W. x. L
Warwick closed the contest by going to
Louis p. OhliSer,a most righteous thing to
do.
The Warwicks, father and son, did not
owe John E. Monnot anything. We rather
opine that all claims had been substan-
TALLY liquidated; and the sound and
thoughtful Democrats of Stark county and
| district, recognized no claim Of John E.
| Monnot to the nomination to the three
months OF Congress yet remaining, Even
IL he had had decent claim the high
handed and unseemly methods adopted
entirely obliterated all such.
Mr.. Ohliger, be it remembered, was
nominated without assistance from the
'mountain;o and the gentleman 10 a
sound and capable Democrat, and popu-
lar gentleman, and every way worthy the
support Of all good citizens. He had NO
mutual admiration arrangement at his
back with Offices and emoluments in view
oil round; and he ana his friends were
not engaged in the dastardly contemptli
BILE work of stoning Democratic prophets,
We say to Esquire ReiRner that the
work of the late convention at Orrville
was well done, and there is no need OF
engaging in useless disputation over it,
nor over that of two years ago. The ambi
tious, though disappointed, young gentle
man who suffered defeat, has years ye,
before him, we hope, and may yet mount
a mule, as the great Napoleon did, and
climb the Alps.
| Things worked for the best two years
ago and have now. AS David b. Hill said
in his great speech in Brooklyn on Mon
day evening Of this week, so say we of the
Orrville convention:
| "The national convention of 1892 has
passed into history with its record, its
triumphs, aud its disappointments. The
wisdom of its action is not now to be
| questioned. II was the court of last re-
sort, established by party usage as the
final arbiter to determine the conflicting
interests and claims of candidates, states
and sections, and its decision will be ac-
cepted with loyal acquiescence by every
true and patriotic Democrat who recogS
nizes the necessity of party organic alton
| and discipline, and respects the obliRa-
tions which he assumes its membership
From this time forward responsible du
1 ties are imposed upon us. Bactional APP
peals should now cease, the spirit oi
resentment should be abandoned, state
pride should be subordinate TO the
general good real or fancied grievances
should be dismissed, personal ambitions
should be sacrificed and individual dis.
appointments should be forgotten in thii
great emergency which demand from ui
all the exhibition of a widespread anC
lofty party patriotism"
In his first few sentences Senator
Hill said ~ was Democrat before thu
Chicago convention, and l am q Dem
ocrat still.n
In the few words We were allowed Il
utter at the Orrville convention In with
drawing from the contest, harmony AMI
self sacrifice, everything for the cause
were urged. We referred to the hope ant
to the prospect of carrying Ohio for Cleve
land and Stevenson II harmony and uniol
of effort prevailed.
Let Us one and all then show the tru
spirit of devotion to the cause. Like DAyi'
B. Hill, do each one his whole duty as be
comes the unselfish patriot. The countr,
needs Democratic victories, in order tina
justice and good government may b,
restored.
