What It Amounts To.

A young friend writing us, a
mong inquiries asks, "What does
it amount to, to me, how the elect
ion goes?" 1t is a long answer to
explain, and then perhaps could not
to one of a turn of mind inquire,
"What it amounts to in the future
of young man, in the future of
the Republic, as to which policy of
government, shall control the affairs
of our country" The intelligent,
thoughtful young man can think
this out for himself, guided in his
research by the judgement of the
men who are of mature years and
whose puprose it the betterlng of
of the condition of the people,
and not the exaltation of the few.
But how it directly effects our
young inquirer is this. This all can
see. There are forty postvffices IN our
county. They are government en-
campments. They are in the hands
of Republicans. Forty men IN
government pay, to work in the
interests of that party, and their
own bread and butter. Those post
masters are paid salaries of from
one hundred to two thousand dollars
a year, from ten to twelve thousand
dollars per year in Hooking county
paid now, and will continue to be
paid if Harrison is elected, to Re-
publicans. Not only this but every
position of honor or profit due to
your county from the government
will be given to Republicans. They
control all national matters. We
are not consulted as to who shall be
post masters, where an Office shall
be established, what routes the
mail carrier shall follow, even the
bonds for the barefoot boy, paid
TO carry the mail from Needmore to
Dutch Ridge must be inspected and
approved by Republican official.
Does It not occur to the yolng man
in the country that it amounts to a
good deal to him and his friends
that the post master in the Village
shall be himself or his friend; that
the ten thousand dollars of govern
ment money be paid to men who
are his friends and who will help
him to places of honor, than to his
enemies, giving them additional
strength to keep HIM down. The
SENTINEL wants the Logan post
office. There are capable Democrats
in every community who want TO
be postmaster. 1t amounts to very
much among us outs whether lar
rison or Cleveland be elected. When
Cleveland is elected then this en-
ters in the calculation of "amounts. "
low much have you done to de
serve well of your party? Have
you by your fidelity to principle,
~ honest effort, fairly earned re-
ward as. not only good Democrat,
mt an effective Democrat, gallant
soldier in the front? Or have you
lung back, asking what does it
lmoHnt to? Have you sulked and

ear praises of Cleveland?" Have

Our Candidate for Congress.

Our candidate for Congress. Mr..
G. +. Peoples, of Pomeroy, comes
before the Democrats of tins Dis
trict, a young man clean from the
people, and with 10 antagonisms
from factions nor localities.
He is a Democrat from principle,
an office holder by reason of his
fitness, an editor from sensible
choice of a profession in which his
talents qualify him for highest
usefulness.
His Republican cotemporary.
The Pomeroy Telegraph, makes
this mention of his standing as a
gentleman:
G. +. Peoples, Esq, of Pomeroy,
was nominated for a member Of
Congress by The Democratic con-
vention for this District, held at
Athens last Tuesday. Mr.. Peoples
is young man of talent and force
ana is personally popular with the
people of both parties in this
county. Ofcourse he should not
be elected and will not be, bul the
nomination is no small honor and
he is to be congratulated upon the
expression of confidence by his
party in this dislrict.-[Telesraph.
The Gallipolis Tribune, The lead
ing Republican paper of Gallla
county, has this very compliment
tarv mention Of him:
Editor Peoples, of the Pomeroy
Democrat, has been nominated for
Congress, by the Democrats, to
contest with Gen. Grosvenor. The
nomination is merely compli-
ment. of course, but 1T is deserved
one. 1t has not been FIVE years
since Editor Peoples was bugglng
potatoes out in Bedford township,
Meigs county, but since he ''came
TO town" he has become a lawyer.

has This to say OF our candidate:
The Democrats of the Eleventh
Congressional district have nomi-
mated Mr.. Z. E. Peoples, editor of
the Pomeroy Democrat, who will
make the race against General

popular in Meigs county. and Is
now the Prosecuting Attorney of

THE affairs at the Reform Farm

DOES it occur to the Forakerites
that if Harrison is elected that it
will be a continuation if the Sher-
man rule in Ohio, that the Force
Bill will be despotic machinery in
the exclusive hands OF the enemies
of Foraker, and that they will be
worse cleft if Harrison is elected
than if Cleveland succeeds? Under
Harrisons, Sherman's, McKinley's,
Grosvenor's, Pursell's adminestra-
tions, where is Bob Kittsmiller,

your party success? The young
Democrats of Hooking may rest as
sured that Cleveland will be elected
and to those who have helped most,
each in his way, to WIN the victory,
to them, as ''victors will be given
the spoils." 1t amounts to q good
deal whether or not Cleveland is
elected, and it amounts to each of
us especially a very great deal, how
much we have done to help elect
him.

THE Republican Gazette last week
makes a great ado, at this late date,
about a commendahle act of Gen.
Grosvenor when in congress, and
speaks as though we should canvass
his record. Gen. Grosvenor's acts
as public man, are public proper
ty, and proper subjects tor approval
or condemnation. AS soldier, Gen.
Grosy enor is not in the range of
our invidlous criticism. He Is a
brave man, he was gallant soldier
and won his promotion for deeds IN
the field of war. He did not like
your master and manager, RESIGN
IN THE FACE OF THE ENEMY.
OF his especial kindness and con-
Germ when in congress, to the Or
phan children of George Cook, we
have spoken in unmeasured terms
of praise, and held that this and the
many acts Of kindness and concern
for Democrats and Republicans
alike; soldiers, whose claims were
neglected by Indifferent clerks in
Washington, entitle him to the
grateful recollection of his former
constituents, and we stand ready to
defend him against any aspersions in
that regard, as Mr. Pursell, we hope
stands ready to resent any lmputa-
ton upon the record, in this regard
of equally honored Democratic con-
gressmen, Cultivate and DUNCAN.
1t is Grosvenor, the radical. fanati-
cal, Republican politician we op-
pose. We denounce him for his
false doctrine, his fanaticism as
fateful as believer in the Koran,
his Unborn and cultivated hatred of
Democracy, and his unscrupulous
disregard of right and justice, law
and constitution, in attempting to
fasten upon the people, the iniquity
of the robber Tariff, and the still
greater monstrosity, the Force Bill
and negro demonation.
Gen. Grosvenor is a good service
able man in congress to attend to
the personal wants of his individ-
ual constituents, but he is unfit and
dangerous to be entrusted with
the making of the laws and direct
ing the destinies of the Republic.
Let Grosvenor stay at home and at
tend to the interests of his clients,
or let him go to Washington as
special advocate, friend and helper
of any, whose just claims may be
secured by his energy, his fidelity,
and his intelligence. We don't
want Gen. Grosvenor in the Capitol
as a congressman making laws for
this government, and from the best
at hand, the chances
are that he will not be in Washing
ton in that capacity to distress us.

ignorant niggers Of Alabama and
Texas, unknown quantities to the
Republican party in the electoral
college, may rule national conven-

STEWART TO HILL.
The Silver Champion Accuses the Now
Yorker of Failing into II Trap Set by tho
NEplI lsung

The Silver Champion Accuses the New
"Goid Bugs"
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1.-Senator
Stewart, OF Nevada, has written letter
to Senator David B. Hill, in reply to tho
speech made by Governor Hill yester-
day in Albany. Senator Stewart
asks Senator Hill if he is in
favor OF free bi-metalic coinage
on the ratio now established by
law why does he take pains to rcpuliate
Nevada, which is and always has been
in favor OF tho remOnitization OF silver.
Of that passage OF the speech assuring
Mr.. Bland OF the respect, admiration
and support Of the Democracy OF New
York ii he will move the repeal OF the
present law, the letter says:
"Aro you aware, Mr.. Hill, that this
is the old story; that the people OF the
south and west have been assured ever
since silver was rejected Us worthy OF
the respect and admiration OF the New
York Democracy, if they would CO.
operate with the representatives OF the
gold trust in contracting tho real money
OF the world to gold alone9
"In recent speech ut Elmira, you
advocated free bi-metallic coinage. In
your Albany speech on New Years eve,
you advocated the repeal OF the act OF
1890, which gives tho people more
money, by the difference between silver
certificates issued on tho coin OF
24,000,O00 dollars worth OF silver per
annum, and the amount OF treasury
notes issued in the purchase OF iifty-iour
million ounces OF silver bullion each
year."
The letter then says that the present
silver act must inevitably lead to BIZ
metallic coinage 10 prevent the deprc-
ciation OF silver, and he asserts that it
is because OF I recognition OF this TACT
that the gold men, to prevent the pass
age OF the iroc coinage act, propose tho
repeal OF the law OF 1850. Senator
Stewart adds:
81 am sorry, il you arc really in favor
OF free bi-metallic coinage, rs declared
in Your Elmira speech, that you hayc
fallen into the trap set by tho gold
trust and are now willing to aid them
in their efforts to coniino tho real
money OF the world to gold alone"
