The Democrats of the county will be
called npon IN very short time TO
sleect candidates for Superintendent
Of Schools and members of the Gen
eral Assembly. The Democratic
papers will be called upon to heartily
support the nominees of their party.
Give us the very best material offering
so that we may be able to enthusias-
ticalIy endorse the choice OF the party.
Democrats may not flatter themselves
with the hope that the Republicans OF
the county do not propose to put out a
candidate. They will be quick to take
advantage of any candidate who is
is not clean enough to secure the
hearty support of the better element of
the Democracy. Give us the very
best as candidates. We are entitled
to them.

THE OHIO DEMOCRATIC coNvEN.
TION.

The Ohio Democratic State Conven-
tionl met in session on Thursday at
Columbus. The session was short and
thoroughly harmonious and strong
ticket was placed in the field.
The platform approves the Demo-
cratic National platform and expresses
a confidence in the Democratic Con-
gress to devise laws that shall aid in
extricating the country from itspresent
financial embarrassment. 1t charges
the financial srtingency to the unwise
legislation of the Republican party
chiefly to the operations of the Nc
Kinley bill and the Sherman law. A
more liberal banking policy is recon-
mended. A cleansing of the pension
roll is demanded, so that a pension
may be a badge of honor, instead of
the mark simply of partisan bid for
an honest veterans vote. McKinlee
and Harrison's administrations airy
condemned in no very measured terms
Confidence is expressed in President
Cleveland to do all that lies in the Ex-
ecutive's power to better the condition
the country.

Democrats must stand firm and see
to the promulgation of their primo
piles, or by neglect yield to the enemy,
and go down in one heap Of debris.
The time is at hand when only Demo-
cratic doctrine should be disseminated.
Our common enemy stands by its
party organs and use its influence
in its interest. When it comes to
voting they are solidly of one faith.
Democrats are right, their principles
are favorable to the people. Their in
terests are in common and there should
be helping hand extended in all their
effors tfor party advancement.

LACK OF CONFIDENCE.

"Lack of confidence" says the city
banker to-day, trembling in his shoes
lest his bank shall be called upon by
some heay depositor for an amount
that would force him to close his doors,
''is the main cause of this trouble" "
And vet that same banker will add to
all this widespread distrust by an ex-
ceedingly short sighted policy OF
closely looking out for No. l. For eX-
ample: We were told a day or two
since by large dealer not far from
here, that correspondent in Louis
vile had written him, asking that he
send either currency or Louisville ex-
change to pay his accounts, as the Lou
iaville banks declined to receive either
checks on county banks or Eastern
exchange, except for collection. These
bankers are thus spreading and inten-
styling a feeling of distrust. If bank
ers and bank officials show no conf
dence in each other, how can they ex-
pect the people to feel confidence in
them and their institutions? We call
attention to the fact that more banks
have failed in the large cities than in
the smaller places; that as a general
thing the banks in the smaller towns
are receiving and are in shape to de-
serve the confidence of the people to
an extent that the banks of the large
cities have not deserved nor received al
the hands of the depositors. Bankers OF
Louisville, let the management of the
country banks throughout the State OF
Kentucky exhibit in you that same
distrust which some of you are ex.
hibiting in them, and you will need
no trumpet to proclaim from the house
top the crumbling about your founda-
tions. The crash of your falling in
stitutions will be amply sufficient to
proclaim the result of your own folly.

Chair. Dem. Com. Montgomery Co.

Our county is not in as good condi-
financially as we would have it.
Whether this state of affairs was
brought ON by speculation or other
things, we will not say. But one
thing is certain, we all, at this time,
need the support and aid of each other
We may have some in our community
who think they are Independent and
are able to live for themselves alone.
But God pity any country that has
many such individuals. The suspension
of two of our banks was unnecessary,
aud was caused solely by ourselves, for
with the good will of the people of our
county, and little counsel with a
few words of confidence would have
prevented what has damaged every
citizen of our community. This may
lead to further trouble; we talk of
this one or that one that owes the sus-
pended banks debt and say he will
be forced to the wall. We are doing
the very thing that caused trouble in
the first place, and will cause further
lack of confidence in our community,
not only among ourselves, but the out
side world.
Let us all stop such work and in
stead Of injuriug good men by such
talk, give helping hand and cheer
ing word TO the poor fellow that is
trying to help himself. By doing this
we not only help the poor man, but
help ourselves. If every business
man in this county will see that it is
his duty to try and restore confidence,
and that we, by close attention and
strict economy can, overcome the
troubles that have overtaken us. We
will soon see brighter faces and pros
perity peeping around the corner.
Let every creditor think twice before
ne catches his debter by the throat,
says pay "What thou owest." 1t may
be that by such proceedings you crush
some deserving man, who, if you had
shown some leniency, would have
soon been able to stand alone and be
a benefit, not only to you in your busi-
ness, but great help to his neighbor-
hood. Let us consider these matters
carefully, and with less talk and more
kindness in our hearts for our fellow
man, we will soon be again a prosepr-
GUS and happy people.
