SlR:-The close of the political CAM
paign witnesses Ia this county, as usual,
the effort upon the part OF Republicans
TO sacrifice the local ticket In order TO
attempt at least 10 save DoYener from
the certain defeat that inevitably awaits
him. IL Is, therefore, not out OF place
10 admonish the Democrats 10 stand
10 their guns' to man, for with united
effort there can be no question; now
that their opponents are already
greatly alarmed, that the Re-
publican plurality in this county
will be greatly reduced. Our citizens
cannot be mised by the calamity howl,
the talk of hard times, etc, aud much
less 10 Harrison county, where It's peo-
pie were not like other communities,
affected by the mischievouS results
from the Infamous Mckinley bill. Be
sides, here, business in every line has
revived; labor has steady employment;
the mines are running; the merchants
are selling large quantities Of goods,
which are purchased at greatly reduced
prices, and the farmer is happy and
content. The Republican wall and cry
OF distress and disaster is refuted on
every side.
The people are satisfied to continue
the Democratic party In power, not
withstanding the Wilson bill, as origin
ated in the House, did not pass, in the
hope Of being gratitied before long in
its being engrafted into the federal law
OF the United States. No great reform
in the laws OF taxation was gained in a
single battle, ana especially when IL
was necessary to change system which
had practically and In an indirect way
robbed the people for thirty years un-
der the pretensa of protecting labor.
The business OF its demands will finally
prevail. Now is the time for every true
Democrat to be up aud doing. Let no
one desert the party at this crisis. The
Republicans are'SgOused, yett alarmed,
and will fight 10 desperation. They
will resort TO questionable meth
DDS. L. is meIs question
with them of life or DEATH IL is the
decisive light to mark their final surren-
der and defeat. Let no Democrat
therefore be deceived Allow no party
differences 10 interfere with your voting
the straight Democratic ticket. If you
thus stand united, and vote at the polls
on next Friday, rest assured, that while
we may not succeed 10 the election of
the Democratic ticket in the county,
that the Republican majority will be
lessened, aud the chances of election of
that outspOken, honest son OF West
strengthened. Mark what we say, IF
DOvener carries this county, he will net
have a plurality of one hundred votes,
aud as things are now IL would be no
surprise if "od Harrison" turns the
seal g, In -ffssjgr5f- 5ff-ri0Yard.
What we have said applies with
equal fierce to local matters. We have
a good show Of sending Goth Hall and
Gerard 10 the Legislature anI electing
Ogden uperintendent Of Free schools
in this county. Indeed, the election OF
Wesley Post as commissioner OF the
County Court is conceded. This is an
Important ONCE anu uulOIICudbeIJ -
a political one. Mr.. Post has shown
himself eminently capable to manage
his own business affairs, and In this Of
fee will bring to bear the most modern
financial methods, with good Judgment.
Wesley Post is a Democrat, but as the
other gentlemen who will serve with
him, if elected, are Republicans, it
would be no more than right,
in court especially which has
the enforcement OF election laws,
selection Of juries, etc, that the minor
ity party should be represented, Mr..
Post is a brOad-minded, enterprising
and euterprising citizen, Identified
with the best interests and thorough
development Of Harrison county.
Go to the pol AgoJe the Democratic
ticket, which means the sure election
Of Howard in the district, and Hall,
Gerard. Ogden and Post in this county.
You will never have any rerSOn TO regret
il, but on the contrary, every ground 70
congratulate yourself when they hays
faithfully served the whole people and
given you an honest, courageous and
economical administration. c. 3. Q.
