The Pension Scare.

We don't hear anything of Hoke
Smith this campaign. This scare
crow was used to great effect last
year by Republican demagogues.
But they don't apologize, don't adj
NIT the false representations they
made. They only laugh at the fool
Democrats who believed their lies
and voted their ticket.
We demand of Gen. Grosvenor to
deny, if he dares, that there have
been more increases allowed under
President Cleveland's administra-
ton, than for same period under
any Republican administration. Has
he Gen. Grosvenor not, and we say
it to his credit, succeeded in obtain
ing more pensions, more increase
for his constituents, than has been
obtained ever before in this district.
Could this have been accomplished
if the Democratic administration
had not been favorable in every re
gard.
The old soldiers whose pensions
were dropped on the charges of
personal enemies and charges for
political capital have mad their pen
sions, on examination, restored, and
in many cases increased. The Dem
ocratic administration has not only
done justly, but has done more lib
orally by the soldier than Republi-
cans, and the soldiers know it, no
one better than Gen. Grosvenor.
Hence we have no Hoke Smith
howl and cry this campaign.

The Republican Campaign Plan

Mr.. Gus Baird of San Run, Chair
man of the Republican Committee,
has no notion that Woodwork VIII
be elected Treasurer of this County.
Chairman Baird is running the
campaign in the boom interests of
Gen. Grosvenor, and he makes every
possible element of his party work in
this direction. Woodwork is not a
representative of the workers of
Ward, as Sheriff Ryan is. Sheriff
Ryan is working man, identified
with the interests of the men who
work. AS man and Sheriff he is a
credit to his class, to his Township
and to our County.
Woodwork is a Company Store
Clerk. Chairman Baird had him
nominated, not to elect him, but to
secure for Gen. Grosvenor the votes
OF the Companys Clerks, just as he
hires the negro Band to get the vote
of the Company negroes.
Chairman Baird is a cute politician.
He will contrive some scheme vet,
by which he expects to catch the
Miners votes all for Grosvenor.

A Positive Duty.

1t is the positive duty ofevery Dem
ocrat to go to the election on Nov
ember 9th and vote the whole ticket.
Because the candidates are all
good men, as good asever was, or ever
will be, found on the ticket of any
party.
Because if you don't support them,
the opposition will quietly laugh at
your folly and call you a sap head.
Because the candidates of the op-
position are not so likely to suit you,
if elected. as are those on your own
ticket.
Because you'll be ashamed Of your
weakness if you are induced to bolt.
Because you believe in Democratic
principles and the only way to make
your belief known and effective is to
support the candidates of your party.

DON'T TELL GROSVENOR.
1t Will Spoil His Speech.
tFrom the Athena JOurnaI,)


THE conditions of the coal trade
have greatly improved during the
past week. A dull September has
given place to what promises to be
very active October. This improve
ment, which is noticeable not only in
the markets of New York and Chicago
but in all the great distributing points
through out the country is the natural
outcome of the approach of winter.
The general prosperity of the trade
throughout the country will of course
be partaken of by Athens county and
the Valley.
Every Democrat should go to work
now for his party, as times are i'm

The GrOsvenOr Meeting in
Logan.

The Republican meeting In Logan
last Saturday was not up to the ex
pectations of the management.
The weather was delightful, Logan
is Saturday town and the people
from the country were here in usual
number. The ladies had interested
themselves, and with the usual good
taste which characterizes all the move
ments in which Logan ladies engage,
the Hall was elegantly decorated.
But the crowd was disappointing in
numbers. There were not two hun
dred voters present, one third of that
number were democrats curious to
hear if any new ideas any especially
brilliant speeches would be made.
Elk Gov. Chase of Indiana, Judge
Morrison ofNew Mexico and Gen.
Grosvenor made speeches. The same
old song, the same old abuse, the same
tiresome g1orifcation, 1--WE made the
country" ''the democrats are rebels
and traitors" "We will bring pros
perity," '.the Democratic have ruined
u.s. and such like dreary tiresome
stuff. that sickened the public years
ago. Morrison is a political advent
urer from New Mexico, who is not
half as entertaining as Jake Kcmper
of last years troupe. Chase is q worn
out and played out Indiana half
preacher, halt politician. who has lost
cast and position in his own state and
is carted about Ohio in charity to
keep the old mummy from utter oh-
livion. Gen. Grosvenor is as calm
and peaceful as Indian summer
weather and tender in his mention
of democrats as the touch of falling
leaf. He loves us: he weeps on the
neck ofthe poor miner. He showed
his broad open generous spirit by
permitting a negro band to escort
him up to Logan, instead ofhaving
a gang of Hungarians with knives in
their hands to come as Il body guard.
The feature of the meeting that
attracted the most attention was a Gfee
Club. This was headed by Mckay
and tailed by Charley Bowlby, and
several young men whose names, out
of regard for their parents are with
held. constituted the innards of the
Club. The song was original in
music and in composition. Nothing
like it was ever heard here or any
where. The words of the song We
think were original and written at
Sand Run. From the way Pursell
grinned as Mckay read his sheet of
manuscript, we thought it might be an
Acrostic and had reference to that
mournful event which occurred at
the Sand Run cemetery, some time
ago, mention of which was made in
our cotemporary.
At any rate the big meeting was a
disappointment and no body realized
unless it was the negro band, relic
of a colonization incident, to which
Gen. Grosvenor. kindly and consider
ately, did not refer, when he was cry
! ing over the hard condition OF the
miner in the Hooking Valley.

proving. No more Mckinley law
effects should be assisted by inaction
on the part of Democrats. Demo-
Gratis of Hooking county, go to work
in earnest for your county ticket, and
success is sure to crown your efforts.
There is the best of feeling among
the Democrats throughout the county
over the prospects for the success OF
the Democratic county ticket. The
Democrats realize that it Will not be
walk lover, and that it will be nec-
essary to get out every vote in order
to insure victory, but they all say that
the full strength of the party will be
polled and that thereby success will be
assured.
We see an announcement that Gov.
Mckinley is to speak in eighteen
states this fall We suppose he will
draw his salary as governor Of Ohio
while he is out stirring up his pres
idential boom. That is the usual way
with republicans.

To Soon to Tell.

There are few who are already
condemning the new Tariff law, be-
cause the business of the country is
not booming.
We wish to remind all such that
business was in a bad way before the
passage Of the new law, and that the
new law has not at this time got into
full effect.
The change from one condition to
another always works more or less dis
turbance, and hence the first effect OF
the new law will be somewhat depress-
ing, but few months will cure this,
and the beneficial effects will begin
ard continue. Wait and give the law

WHEN Gen. Grosvenor was in
Logan and Gov. Mckinley was in
New Orleans, neither of them had a
word to say about Col Southern Out
rage. The General has three cases
of lynching in his district and Gov.
Mckinley was compelled to delay
his visit to the south in order
that his military might shoot down
citizens Of Washington Court House
who were trying to lynch negro.
Col Southern Outrage is not playing
his part in this campaign.

s Realizing the growing danger from the
use OF monLy in elections, we favor the en-
acrment of a corrupt practices" law, limit
Ing the amount of money to be eX
pended by the candidates; requiring the
publication after the election by all candi-
dates and campaign commit ees of sworn
itemiZed statements of all the money eX-
pended, and fixing forfeiture of office and
Acknowledgement as the penalty of violating
Its provisions.
The system of giving passes to persons
in public offices, which has been practiced
by corporations, has reached n stage which
demands condemnation by the people.
We therefore favor such legislation rs will
make 1t a misdemeanor for any person to
accept, or any railroad corporation or any of
its officers or agents TO give to such public
officers pass upon any railroad in this

Hooking County and it's
Finances.

In looking over the list of counties
of this state the citizens of Hooking
may justly "point with pride" to
his county and its financial condi-
ton, as compared with our neigh
bors.
Athens county has local funded
debt of 500, 200; Fairfield county
sl24>o 900; Morgan county s9s, ,s75;
Perry county s95, 900; Pickaway
county 400, OO0; and Ross county
slOs,OOO.
Compare che foregoing with Hook
ing County. Here we have not a
single dollar of county debt, and
our local public debt amounts to
only s43,3s7 apportioned as fol-
lows:-
Laurelville Village s625.OO
Logan Village $4,000
Logan Sch. Dist. s23 100000
Ward Township s9,s21.s7
Benton Township 81, $4,000
Total s42,3 3e6.es
Notwithstanding this sound finan-
cial condition, which is entirely due
to the economical administration of
our county affairs by our Demo
cratic officials, our county buildings
are all in good repair, our streams
are we'll bridged, our highways are
in fair condition, and our county
tax rate is low.
All the conditions proclaim our
County Commissioners to be prudent,
economical men, and worthy of the
utmost confidence.
No change in the Board, possible
at th is time, could better the condi-
tions aad might possibly be for the
worse. Therefore vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.
