"WHAT does Cart Webb want to
be Commissioner for any how? is a
question often asked by his friends"
Cart, what is the sense in being
candidate? Whats the sense in being
a Commissioner, even if you chance to
be elected?'
The County, under the manage
ment of Mr.. Juniper and his associates
has been cleared of debt with a good
balance in the Treasury. You can't
improve in that. There no glory
awaits you; then what do you hope to
do. The salary Of the Commissioner
is only few hundred dollars. 1t wont
pay you. You are young man of
intelligence and industry. You are
a good farmer and a successful stock
dealer. What do you want to give
up your farm and occupation for,
and fool away your time as COM
missioner looking after affairs in
which you have no personal interest,
and trying to do things you know
nothing about. Friend Cart, it will
be great loss to you to elect you.
We are too good friend of yours to
wish you bad luck by voting for you.
You are first class man in your place,
4 pleasant, genial fellow in any COM
pany, and we would regret very much
to see you taken from your farm, and
put in an Office where you would be
cussed and annoyed and pestered out
of patience, and get nothing, or next
to nothing for it.
Cart we cant vote for you. 1t
would be doing you harm to elect
you.

Another Lie Nailed.

Newark Advocate.
Some two or three weeks ago the Gin
cinnati Tribune, which is evidently be-
coming characterless paper, printed
most brazen falsehood regarding the
value of sheep in Licking county.
The article was SO absardly false that
neither of the Republican papers of
this city had the hardihood to copy it.
But the Boston Commercial Bulletin,
paper that processes to be a reliable
trade Journal. has shown its utter lack
of discernment by publishing the fol-
lowing ridiculous and utterly false
statement from the Tribune article:
"Within one year after the incoming
Cleveland administration, the number
of sheep in Licking county has been
reduced mere than 10000. Now the
farmers are selling their wool-bearers
as fast as they can get rid of them and
at what ever price they will bring.
The finest Merinoes are selling at
sixty five cents to 81 head. One
can buy for dollar piece mere fine
sheep than he can drive away. Just
the other day there was a sale of
sheep on farm near Pataskala. The
stock was auctioned off in lots of
dozen each. The bidding started with
an offer ofsx cents dozen. 1t ended
at 81. so dozen and the sheep sold
at that"
The above needs no denial here
but for the benefit of those elsewhere
it is proper to state that no such sale
ever took place near Pataskala Or any
where else in this county. Our farm
ers are not selling their wool bearers
as fast as they can get rid of them and
at what ever price they will bring"
Nothing is farther from the truth.
Neither can the finest Merinoes sheep
be bought for any such price as from
65 cents to 81 per head in that or any
other locality in this county. On the
contrary this quality of sheep cannot
be bought for less than three times
the prices mentioned. AS to the
number of fsheep, there has been a
steady decline in this county for the
past fifteen years. This was the ef
feet Of protection, but there has been
no unusual reduction since the incom-
ing of the Cleveland administration.
There is more falsehood contained in
the above quoted para ragraph from the
Cincinnati Tribune than anything We
have seen in print in a long time.

BUSINESS IN POLITICS.
A Reminiscence.

In the late issue of the Columbus
News, Republican paper published
by Democrat, and especially hostile
to Hon. Joseph Fl. Cultivate, we
noticed a statement that number
of ''business men of the city" in
tend taking an active part to secure
Outhwaites defeat. Among the
number we notice the name of
Walter Crafts.
This reminds MS. In the ever
memorable campaign of Gen. Tom
Ewing against Horton for congress,
Walter Crafts was a Business Man,
of the district, operating furnace
at Greendale, Hooking county, en-
ploying several hundred men. He
had but recently come from Ala
bama, where he had learned lessons
in business poiitics'as he had learned
business in driving mules and
darkeys.
All the corporations in the Valley
were organized against Ewing under
the business plan, Crafts being the
General Manager. On the day of
election it happened that Crafts was
DELAYED in Columbus. He tele-
graphed to his bosses at the Furnace
to hold the men from voting until
he could get on the ground. The
men were hauled in wagons to the
polls, kindly provided with tickets
at starting. Crafts was on hand.
They voted ON the Business plan, on
the Alabama plan. The late Judge
Groghan prepared papers for court,
intending to try Mr.. Crafts ard his
plan before a Hooking county white
jury. hut Ewing's triumphant cleo
ton softened the hard feelings and
.ne matter was not pushed.

Sheep and Wool Liars.

The fact announced by Hon.
Frank Hurd in his convention speech
:'That protection on wool was al
ways considered the key y-stone OF the
whole protection scheme" is well
exemplifed during this campaign.
There was never a time in our
history when persistent and bare
faced lying has been more freely in
dulged in and that Lby men and
papers who would resent the name
of liars on ordinary occasions.
There are two reasons for the
lying reports, the first and principal
one is 10 influence the voter, and
the second is to aid in cheating the
farmer who has sheep or wool to
sell.
As regards the first reason, we ask
the Democratic sheep farmer to ex-
anime the platforms Of the Repub-
lican party in the various states
and see where they have pledged
themselves to restore the tariff on
wool, or read the utterances of their
leading statesmen and see if any
one of them has indicated 4 desire
for the restoration Of the Mckinley
