F. b. DEWITT is the Republican
nominee for Congress in the 5th dis
trict.-Erchange.
Dewitt! Dewitt! The name sounds
familiar to us, yet we can scarcely
think that it is the same Dewitt who
some years ago published Republi-
can paper in Paulding county, and
who attended a Republican county
convention, helped nominate Re
publican county ticket, put the ticket
at the head of his paper, kept it there
two weeks, and then took it down
and came out in his paper in support
of the Democratic county ticket. Will
our Republican contemporaries en-
tighten us as to whether or not this is
the same Dewitt. We are merely
after correct information in regard to
this matter OttOaOa Sentinel.

THE Signal is advocating the cause
of the Damascus ferry, and as it is the
organ of the Republican party in this
county, it is but reasonable to sup
pose that it voices the party senti-
ment. This being so, the Republican
candidate for County Commissioner
is supposed to advocate the establish
ment of ferry at Damascus, at the
expense of the people of the whole
county. The Signal may think it a
stroke of policy, in wanting to place
this additional burden upon the peo-
pie of Henry county, but the people
will have something to say in this re-
spect, in all probability.

LUTHER DONALDSON turns out to
have been comparatively poor man
at death. Hon. Eugene Lanes report
shows $61, ,649.19 paid in, $42, Is
paid out and $19,009.03 in his hands.
Donaldson was credited with half
Million Columbus Er.
The above clipping shows how
prone people are to overestimate ones
wealth. There is scarcely person of
known wealth who is not overesti-
mated as to the amount of his accumu-
lation of this worlds goods. For ms
tance, see now Ex-Gov. Foster was
overestimated. He was reported a
millionaire, and everybody thought
he was, but when crisis in his affairs
came it was found that he was poor
man. 1t is far better all around to
underestimate ones wealth, and ten
to one it would come nearer hitting
the mark.

For cuteness the Napoleon Repub-
lican bosses take the entire bakery,
oven, pretty saleslady and all. Fear
ing the slim attendance at their
county convention, they selected
court day and the first day of the fair
for the occasion-the consequence
being the city wore a lively appear
ance. Otherwise, the usual amount
of stir upon the streets would have
been the result. Appearances may
go a great ways, but when appear
ances are gotten up for deception
there is nothing gained by it. But,
talking about appearances, if there
is anything in the old saying, our
crowded city on Saturday last pre-
sages an overwhelming Democratic
vote this fall. So mote it be.

WE believe we have found out why
the Signal opposes the wiping out of
a lot of old road improvement funds
by transfer by the county commits
sions. By so doing all the reports
hereafter made of the condition of
funds of the county, which reports
by law must be published in the Sig
nal, are curtailed to quite an extent,
which of course cuts down the prin-
ter fees. In. n.other words, it is the
of the allowance of pap to
the Signal that makes it squeal, this
and nothing more. AS pap sucker
Bro. Russell has proved a roaring
success, but his greatness in time
will be his downfall. We again warn

BRO. RUSSELL, in measure, has
dropped his nonsensical gibberish
about our county officials, which was
simply given to his readers in weekly
doses with the expectation of boosting
the Republican cause, but which in
reality was proving a boomerang. In
lieu he has commenced to give part of
his space to praising his town and
county. In doing so, we are glad to
see that our advice has not fallen up
on story ground, and that Bro. Rus
sell has taken it home and put it into
practice. Keep it up, Bro, you live
in one of the best agricultural and
governed counties in the State, as
well as in a little city which in point
of beauty and progressiveness is not
excelled in this part of our great and
glorious country.

Democrats threatened TO break away
from the caucus agreement and
change the bill in some particulars,
its fate was somewhat doubtful Ii
was Senator Brice who got, or rather
forced, Villas to come back into line
when he was going wrong. IL Villas
had persisted in his motion to force
off the one-eighth differential on sug-
ar, the bill would then and there have
been indefinitely postponed. 1t took
a caucus to convince Villas of it, but
he finally knew where the matter
stood. Subsequently, when the at
tempt was being made to change the
bill in conference, it was Brice who
found out that enough Democratic
Senators had agreed. among them
selves to defeat the bill if the Senate
ever got possession of it again. 1t
was Brice who convinced the House
leaders and the administration that
such was the case; and then followed
the action of the House in passing
the bill which is now a law, and which
even its enemies are obliged to admit
is good law.
The bill had a very narrow margin
when it passed the Senate on July
3rd. Gallery, of Louisiana, voted
against it; Blanchard threatened to;
no one could tell what the Populists
would do. 1t has since been learned
that the Louisiana Senators were told
by Brice that if they voted against
the bill because it did not provide for
bounty on sugar for this year, that
the appropriation bills pending in the
Senate Committee on Appropriations.
OF which he was member, would be
be amended so as to repeal the Nc
Kinley bounty. If they took a stand
that would defeat tariff legislation
their state would suffer. Before the
roll call was over both voted for the
bill.
''If man will only go steadily
ahead and refuse TO be startled out of
the right course by the waves of pub
lie opinion, which sometimes mis-
guides, and by the fierce denuncia-
tions Of political opponents" said
Senator Brice one day when he was
the target of the most virulent abuse,
''he will find that he will come out all
right in the end. If q man under
these conditions undertakes to please
everybody, he pleases nobody and
becomes dissatisfied with himself. In
these days you cannot change your
course under stormy conditions any
more than a modern ocean liner can
change hers at the shifting of every
wind and tide
But then the Ohio Senator was
looking farther ahead than many
Others who were getting ready to de-
sert. ITS results / am AFTER he
remarked one day. II can't go into
details about this thing. A schedule
here and there may be too high or
too low, but the general result is
great improvement over the McKin-
ley law and that is what l am fight
ing for"

DURING the Republican convention
Tuesday, the Republican candidate
for Congress in this district, Dewitt,
was placed on exhibition, but was not
paraded before the faithful until af
ter the convention, when he was
brought out and his qualities shown
up. He is an exceedingly common
looking individual, but his looks did
not secure him the nomination-it
was his barrel, which is weakness
the Republican politician cannot
withstand.

The Re,ubIican county convention.

The Republican County Convention.
The slate made up by a coterie of
Republican ringsters of Napoleon
passed through the Republican
county convention on Tuesday, and
when it had made the rounds not a
scratch or crack was pereeptible up
on it.
In other words, the Napoleon gen
tlemen cracked the whip, and the
rank and file of the Republican party
of Henry county lay crouching at the
feet of their masters.
OF course, to all outward appear
ances, the convention machinery was
put in motion and kept in motion un-
til the work of the Napoleon gang
was consummated. When this was
done these gentlemen were quite free
with their Il told you sos."
But, there's another convention to
come off in November, when the hon.
est Republicans who were squelched
at the convention held on Tuesday
will have an opportunity to assert
their manhood, by voting against the
slate candidates, which we opine they
will not be slow in doing.
The resolutions passed contained
the old stereotyped Republican braga-
docia and bluster, and Republican
sniffie over the condition of Henry
county. This is nothing new to the
voters of this county, in fact the stuff
has got to be stencil in their nostrils.
In numbers the Republican conven-
ton was quite respectable, in fact,
one of the largest, if not the largest
they ever held in the county. The
ticket they have nominated is an
average Republican ticket, respecta-
BILE, but so far from the touch of the
mass of the people that the ides of
November will find it buried so deep
that not even its friends will know
where to find it.
The ticket is made up as follows:
Sheriff, John Pender.
Prosecuting Attorney, W. W. Camp
bell.
Commissioner, Rufus Hill.
Infirmary Director, Geo. Vogel.
Coroner, David Harmon.

THE Peoples ticket is made up of
Republicans or those who have nev-
er been identified as Democrats
Democrats should not be deceived by
this third ticket movement; it is one
of the old Republican schemes, to get
Democrats to vote against their party
nominations, while the Republicans
that are in it will walk up to the polls
on election day and cast solid Re
publican ballot. The scheme is an
old one and has been practiced upon
Democrats more times than one.
Democrats, look out that it cannot
be worked upon you again.

The County Convention.

Every Democrat Of Henry county
many well feel proud Of the conven-
tion helduponlast Saturday, for there
was never a larger or finer convention
held within the borders of the county.
The delegates in most part we're rep
resentative Democrats from over the
county, old and young, all bent upon
being a credit to the party they rep
resented, not only in their convention
deliberations but in their demeanor
throughout. The convention was one
of the most orderly in the history OF
the party, and while it was so it did
not lack in enthusiasm, for the Demo
Gratis seemed to have taken renewed
courage, eager to wage anew the
battle for the advancement OF the
principles of the good old party; ready
to grid on the armor and do battle for
the party of Jefferson, Monroe, Jack
son, Douglas, Cleveland, and hundreds
of the illustrious statesmen who have
served and perpetuated the princi-
Piles of Democracy.
The ticket nominated is a most ex-
cellent one, and while it is admitted
that a selection from the candidates
before the convention could hardly
go amiss, yet the ticket as it is made
up will give as good satisfaction as
any which could have been nominat-
ed. OF the ticket we will speak in
more extended terms next week.
The outlook for our party is encour-
aging in the extreme. Its pledges to
the people have been carried out, and
all that was promised by the platform
of 1899 has been redeemed. The out.
rageous election laws have been wip-
ed from the statute books, the Sher-
man silver bill put in its little coffin
and silver placed upon the highroad
to reach its proper and rightful none
tary place, and last but not least, the
people relieved of the iniquitous Nc
Kinley law, by the passage of a tariff
reform measure, the effects of which
is already being felt in the revival of
trade throughout the country.
Democrats may well feel rejoiced at
what has been accomplished, and
what can still be accomplished if
every man will put his shoulder to
the wheel and help push forward the
car of progress and equal rights to all.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
thecountry than all other diseases put togeth
er, and until the last few years was supposed
to be incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh TO be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address.

Little Clara the household treasure,
Thou art here no more 10 roam,
For the angels up In Heaven,
Took your little darling home.
Weep not mamma for your darling,
She is laid away to rest,
She shall know no pain or sorrow,
She sweetly sleeps on Jesus breast.
You will miss her little prattling.
Miss her playthings on the floor,
But there's one sweet blissful comfort,
She's not dead but gone before.
Little Clara the bright eyed darling,
She will be with you no more,
Although she es dead to you dear parents,
She lives upon the other shore.
She's gone but not forgotten,
Like the little flower that fades,
There to blossom In His garden,
God has blessed your darling child.
