WE understand that our young
German friend who used to run the
DemokTdt at this place, but who is
now an employe on the Toledo En-
press, is Dragging that he is going to
do all in his power to make Henry a
republican county. That is no news
for it is just what he has been trying
to do for number of years but
with manifestly poor success. But as
he has removed from the county and
become citizen of Lucas, he will find
it will require the combined efforts of
the Express to keep Lucas in the re-
publican ranks instead of meddling in
the political affairs of sister counties.
At best, a republican paper, and the
Express is black one, can have but
little weight in a democratic county,
especially SO when that county is for
tunate in having as good an exponent
of democratic principles as the Ger.
man Demokrdt.

DEMOCRATIC rule in Wisconsin has
paid the people, Republican State
Treasurers always appropriated the in
terest on State funds deposited in
banks, and Democratic officials have
brought suit to compel them to
disgorge. Judgment has been given
against one Treasurer for SlSO,OO0 and
against another for $155.0O0. Mean
while the Democratic Legislature has
passed q law securing to the State
beyond doubt all such money here
after. The Democratic appeal to the
voters at the next election will be
based upon the claim that the State
Administrators have saved the State a
sum equal to 500 day for fifteen
days.

REPRESENTATIVE HELLER, of Lucas

the present system of poll taxes. In
place Of 1t his measure will provide for
a leyying ofthree mills by each town

resulting thereupon for improving and

supervisor for each township, instead
of each road district as at present, this
supervisor to have entire control ofthe
roadways in that township.

NOTICES have been sent out by the
second assistant post master general
that, after June 80 next the transporta-
tion lines now receiving special facili-
ty pay for extraordinary services will
receive only ordinary rates. The
special fast mail trains which have
been running over various roads will
be discontinued, the Postoffice De-
partment having decided not to recon-
mend an appropriation for this pur-
pose. The Postmaster. General thinks
that the service will be just as good.
When the system of special COM
pensation was started, he says, it was
understood by the railroads that it was
to be temporary. The growth of the
railroad service fully warrants the dis
continuance of the special compensa-
ton system.

charged that Gen. R. Alger was dis

created sensation in G. A. r. circles.
Alger denied it. Now Charles A.
Dana, editor of the Sun, who was assis-
tant secretary of war under Stanton,
avows his responsibility for the state
ment. Dana declares 1t is nothing
new; it was known to many people for
a number of years, but it will kill Alger
politically, and remove the most seri-
Gus obstacle to Harrison's renomina-

The present republican legislature is
the LATEST and slowest in the history
Of the state. 1t is accomplishing no
good for the common people, and its
chief business so far has been the tink-
ering with present good laws and pass
ing upon partisan measures. 1t now
looks as though May would still find
them In session. 1t certainly will if
this course is kept up and the peoples
business postponed much longer.

natural gas has been banished from
the city of Dayton, and at noon on
Monday last ceased to be an article of
commerce and fuel supply. At the
hour named all the street valves and
regulators in the main pipes had been
closed, when not even smell of gas
remained to remind one of its past
glories and conquests. Consumers had
been preparing for the shutdown, and
the transition from gas to coal was

Notice TO Democratic Votes.

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Henry county hereby re-
specifically call the attention of electors
to the importance of holding their
nominating eaucuses for the nomina-
tion Of candidates for the April cleo
tion at an early day.
The law requires that nominations
shall be certified to the Comfy Board
of Elections at least twelve days before
the day of election. This is provided
in order to give the Board time to
prepare and furnish the ballots.
Safety requires that more time be
given the Board for that purpose,
seeing that each precinct will require a
ballot differing from those in all the
other precincts, and more time and
labor will be required to provide them
than was necessary at the last general
election, when the ballot was uniform
throughout the county.
The committee therefore respect
fully suggest that the caucuses in all
the Townships and precincts in the
county be held not later than March
II, 1892, and the nominations certified
Immediately thereafter to the County
Board of Elections.
