'GBarkus is WiIlin'."

The Columbus Post of Wednes-
day suggests the name of I'll. l..
Chapman of Jackson County, for
the position of Secretary of State.
Nothing would suit us better,
We have known Mr.. G. for some
years and can testify to his integ-
rity, ability and Democracy. we
fully endorse the suggestions Of the
Post as follows:
"The Ohio Democracy want o
fighting candidate for Secretary of
State, BECAUSE with the divided
condition of the Republican party
and the record of the Legislature
there is a splendid chance to win.
The candidate should not be n
member of the present General
Assembly, for reasons that are APP
parent; what is wanted is wide
awake, active, influential Demo-
crat, without Republican record.
Such person is II. l.. Chapman,

As Il Should BE.

The Convention of Republicans,
which congregated in Athens on
last Tuesday did the thing they as
sembIed to do, and did it promptly.
The Eleventh Congressional Dis
trict was made to order for Gen.
Grosvenor, and his name might
just as well been put on the ticket
without the formality of a conven-
tion, but it would not have looked
quite so we'll to the average outsider
Gen. Grosvenor is typical Re-
publican, with q little more than
the average amount of greed, gall
and demigogy in his make up.
He has a superfuity of verbiage,
which is frequently mistaken for
eloquence, and is an adept in the
political methods of such leaders
of his party as Elkins, Dudley d Co,
and SO, fairly represents the formu-
lators Of the policy of high tax
robbery.
He suits Pursell and of course
the Republicans of Hooking will
whoop themselves hoarse in SCUM
ding his praises, for, deny it who
may, Bro. Pursell rules in the do
main of Hooking and Republicans
living within his jurisdiction must
do his bidding, or go to the rear.
Pursell was for Grosvenor, which
is equivalent to saying that the
party in Hooking was for him.
Pursell wanted Grosvenor. The
District was made for the General
and the nomination of this emf
nent friend of our German fellow
citizens was the proper proceeding
in the process.
The audience will now be STAN
ding while Pursell sings a psalm
and Vickers offers prayer.

Capt w. M. Bowen Secretary.
On motion of Noah Schwarz, a

B. II. Allen and ]. N. Slater, who
retired from consultation, j. M.
Floyd and ID. X. Lappen were APP
pointed to assist the Secretary in
making the count and abstract of
votes of the primary.
We give the tabulated returns of
the vote of the different wards,
townships and precincts in another
place in this paper.
After the count was completed
and the nominees declared, the
committee reported the following
names as delegates to the State con-
vention which report was adopted
by the conventions: o. w. II.
Wright, Chas, Rose, J. N. Slater, j.
M. Floyd and w. N. England. There
upon the same committee was in
structed to report alternates to the
State convention and they report
ed as follows: w. p. Price, Henry
Trimmer, j. III. Carnes, VIM.
Waner, and ]. N. Kessler, Mr.. Price
declined and the committee report
ed ID. H. Lappen in his place. which
report was adopted.
Resolutions were adopted indors-
ing Ex-Gov. Campbell and his adj
ministration and recommending
him for the Presidency; indorsing
the course of U. S. Senator Hon
Calvin S. Brice; and Hon. w. P
Price our representative in the
Ohio Legislature was indorsed.
The ticket nominated on Satur
day was indorsed and the Demo-
cracy pledged to its election
Repeated calls were then made
for the different candidates before
the primary on Saturday.
Those present responded and ap
propriately thanked the Demo
cracy for the support given them
and pledged themselves to abide
the decision of the party and Il
give their support to the entire
ticket nominated.
Thereupon the convention ad

The attention of Gov. Mckinley
should be called to the fact that
the Delaware wooden mills at New
Castle have shut down in conse-
guence of strike, and that the
strike was provoked by a reduc-
tion of wages. The weavers were
receiving rs cents cut, and it was
proposed to reduce the price to 70
cents. Prior to February last the
rate was so cents, when it was put
down to IS cen is. The two reduc-
tions amounts to PIP per cent.
Before the late reduction the men
were making only about $50 per
month, and the cut would reduce
their wages to about 1926. This
does not indicate that the factory
workers of Delaware have derived
much benefit from the Mckinley
bill although they were told it was
for their exclusive benifft.-COurier

THE Supreme Court has held
that no person holding any position
under either the national or state
Government is eligible to be a
Presidential elector. This includes
officers and directors of national
banks and notaries public. This is
probably not generally understood
and in the election of our electors
we should he extremely careful, as
conditions might arise where the
ineligibility of an elector might
change the result of President.

This is how it happens that Bro.
Pursell was not selected in this
District. Being postmaster and
Chairman of the Republican State

A Staunch Old Company.

The year just passed has been a
severe one for fire insurance COM
panies, so much so that many of
the weaker ones have been COM
PEELED to reinsure their risks, and
go out of business; others are still
in business, but suffering an i'm
paired capital. In the midst of
this unfortunate condition of things
it is a real pleasure to turn to the
statement of such u staunch old
company as the American Fire of
Philadelphia. Eighty-two years
of splendid success entitle them
to the confidence of any one hav-
ing property to insure. Their total
assets January /, 1892, were $3,093,-
54O.53 as against 81, ,95O, ,394.O7 a year
before, showing healthy increase
in the face of the terrible losses of
the year. The futher fact that
they have paid nearly $4,000 in
dividends and taxes on same, and
carry surplus that is ample for
all probable needs, fully demon
strates that this is company well
worthy to be entrusted with your
confidence, and one that can be re-
lied upon in time of need. We
heartily recommend the old Amer
lean Fire Insurance Company of
Philadelphia. The Company is
represented by w. w. McCray,

A. BARLEoN, of the Vanton Re-
cord was in town and made us a
friendly call yesterday.
"Tony" as he is familiarly called
by his friends, was as smiling and
neat in appearance as usual, and
we were glad to see this veteran
Republican editor of Vinton
county looking so we'll.
Though Mr.. Barleon did not fully
confide in us, we are fully of the
opinion that he was here to look
into the rumored candidacy of
Davenport for the position of Sup
ervisor of Public Printing.
Whether Davenport is a candi-
date or not we are not fully in
formed, but rumOr says that he ia
and judging from Dayenport's hab-
it of taking all he can get, we
would not be surprised if the rumor
were right, and we agree with
Barleon, that It'll is the apex of bad
faith on the part of Ed.
After announcing and urging the
claims of BarleoD through the col
umns of the Rep. Gazette and Civ
Mr.. b. letter endorsing his candi
dacy, Ed should stay out of the
race.
Mr.. Barleon, would do honor to
the position and we sincerely hope
he will win.
No better qualified man ant
scholarly gentleman can be found
in the Republican party of the
State, and while it is none of our
mix we stand by Bro. Barleon.

If there is any man that Repnb-
iicans prefer to Benjamin Harrison
Mr.. Blaine being out of the way
who is It but William Mckinley,
Jr? What other man so well re-
presents the policy Of the Repub-
lican party? Mr.. Reed, it is true,
is an Adonis, and his nomination
would please the ladies. Uncle Jer.
ry Rusk's agricultural statistics
have not been accurate, but his bug
Investigations have been great.
Yet Mr.. Mckinley stands for high

ShOddy Aa a Legal Tender.

st. Louis RepuDllc.
Republican State conventions are
loud in their demands for "an
honest dollar,"by which they mean
a gold dollar. But never mind a
bout that now. There is not DEM
ocrat in the country who objects to
the gold dollar or is unwilling to
take all of them he can honestly
get. What the Democratic party
is going into the campaign of 1892
for is for an Honest Dollars worth
for an Honest Dollar. The Sixty
cent Dollars worth for q Hundred
cent dollar is a Republican insti-
tuition and all Democrats are op-
posed to it.
The Republican party has passed
laws for debasing nearly all manu~
factured goods in circulation. Our
"American woolens" were adul-
terated in the census year 1890
with 75,538,000 pounds ofcotton, 16,
S65,000 pounds of animal hair, and
61,626,000 pounds of shoddy. Under
the Mckinley bill it is made OBJ
ligatory on us TO buy goods so a.
dulterated in preference to foreign
goods "all wool and a yard wide."
If we refuse we are fined over $50
on every 500 worth of the foreign
woolens we buy.
1t is said to be our patriotic duty
to use "the American product"
This is sheer robbery, made poss-
ible only by tyranny, but if the
Republicans can apply it in the
case of the American product of
woolens, how is it that they so OBJ
ject to applying it to silver as an
American product? They say that
"a debased dollar" will not pass
outside of the United States, and if
the dollar is debased it is perfectly
true. But neither will their debas-
ed Dollars worth pass outside of
the limit of their custom-houses.
They cannot make foreigners pay
dollar for yard of shoddy cloth
that is worth only So cents.
Their system has encouraged a.
dulteration and debasement in
nearly all lines of manufacturing,
and by their laws they make these
adulterated commodities legal
tender for their face value. We
must either take them, go without
altogether, or else pay Mckinley
fines for buying full-value goods
Under the Mckinley bill, 81, $4,000
pounds of shoddy year are made
legal tender for wool. What was
there more dishonest or more op
pressive in the "Fiat Money"
theory? 1t is nothing in the world
but the Fiat Money theory applied
to commodities, and no Republican
who indorses it has right rO object
to an adulterated currency.
