The Real Issue.

The Democratic State Executive
Committee has issued stirring ap-
peal to the voters, in which the line
Of Campaign is clearly indicated.
The Committee correctly assumes
the position that the tariff question is
settled, and that for years; that the
changes which will be made hence
forth will be in minor matters, which
can be done without in any degree
affecting the general business of the
country.
The Committee then assumes the
position, which is the correct one, that
the Democratic party is pledged to
restore silver to the place it occupied
in our financial system previous to
the suicidal act of 1873, and charges
that the denomination of silver more
than anything else is charg cable with
the numerous and violent business dis
turbances which have afflicted the
country since that period.
The address is carefully prepared by
Chairman, Thurman and is we'll
worth close study and deep thought,
Of the truth of its statements, and the
correctness of its deductions we have
no shadow of doubt, and We believe
that no permanent relief will be can
or will be experienced until we change
our present financial policy and return
to the sound principles which obtained
from the adoption of the constitution
until the change of 1873.

Our Congressional Candi-
date.
(From the Chilicothe Advertiser)

(From the Chilicothe Advertiser)
Eli Reynolds Lash, the gentleman
whom the Democrats of the Eleventh
District present to the voters for their
suffrages for Congress. is one Of the
best known and most highly esteemed
citizens of Athens. He is also pretty
we'll known throughout the counties
composing the District, and here in
Ross county has many acquaintances
and friends. He is cousin of DR.. j.
w. Lash, of this city.
The Democratic nominee is one of
the substantial citizens of Athens, and
has conducted drug store there for
many years. He is about 50 years of
age, is married and has an interesting
family. Mr.. Lash has never been an
aspirant for official preferment. AL
though frequently sought to run for
Office, and at times when a nomina-
ton meant an electiOn-tbe State
Senatorship in the old Fairfield,
Hooking and Athens district being
sample-he always declined. He has
often been asked to accept an ap-
pointive Office, but resisted such over.
lures every time save once, when he
laid aside his personal wishes and SUBJ
mitted to the desires of his political
friends, aud accepted from Gov.
Campbell an appointment on the
Board of Trustees of the Athens
Hospital for the Insane.
Mr.. Lash has always been an
ardent Democrat and in Darkest
Athens he has never hesitated to con.
tend for the party principles dear to
his heart nor to fightfo his Democratic
friends 1t is this trait that has won
for him the warm feeling among all
Democrats and at the same time has
never lost him the respect of Republ-
cans who know him to be an honor
able man, steadfast and honest.
A sample of Mr.. Lash's character
is furnished in recent event. 1t
will be recalled that among the Post
masters to be appointed early in the
present administration was the one at
In keeping with his supreme

cheek and domineering spirit, Gen.
Grosvenor went 10 Postmaster Gen
eral Bissell and asked that the privi-
lege be accorded him of naming the
Postmaster at Athens. Such a re-
quest had never been known before
and nobody but man with Grosven-
ors gall would have attempted such
a thing. 1t was never known whom
Grosvenor desired to have appointed
Postmaster, but, of course, it was some
weak kneed Democrat who would have
been under Grosvenor's thumb.
When E. r. Lash heard of Gros-
venor's impudent request he was not
long in jumping on to it with both
feet and in a most vigorous manner.
1t is hardly necessary to add that
Athens got straight Democrat for
Postmaster.
E. r. Lash is no dress parade
party man. lie is a working Demo-
crat and takes pleasure in doing all he
can to advance the interests of his
party. Over at Athens the other day
he went from the Convention which
nominated him for Congress to the
Democratic County Convention, over
which he was called to preside, and
he was enthusiastically received and
made most excellent Chairman.
The Democratic nominee for Con-
gress is man Of great force of char
acter. He is man of many intel
lectual attainments, is high minded
and a man of broad views. He is a
man of popular parts and has the con-
fidence in the fullest degree of all who
know him. The election to Congress
OF MIR. Lash would give to the peo-
pie of this District business man in
stead of an arrogant politician, and
the needs and desires of the people
would never suffer in his hands. If
the people Of the other counties COM
posing the District will do as we'll by
E. r. Lash as Athens county will do
the yoke of Grosvenorism will be
thrown off and for one term at least
the people of the District will be re-
presented in Congress by thorough
business man instead of scheming,
tricky politician.

Total Abstinence Celebration.

The Father Mathew Total Absti-
nence Society of this city will cele-
brate the 104th university Of the
birth of the great apostle of temper

the eminent gentlemen who have

There is significance in the quiet

That combination of men, shaking
hands in the common cause is pro-
tentous. Father Powers of Logan,
accounted one of the most effective
temperance orators Of the country,
heads the list. Associated with

race in this country. With these re-

Bro BRUCE DoLLIsoN of the new
Ohio Democrat is not embrassed as
Treasurer of the Republican Execu-
tive Committee; in handling the party
campaign funds. The Candidates
can not stand much of an assessment.
One candidate is not a man of suffi-
cient surplus means to be tax payer.
The other Candidates can see no great
speculation in the Offices they are rum
ming for, and hence the Republican
Campaign Treasury is not flush, and
Treasurer Bruce don't have much
trouble in taking care of the funds.
IL the mean time, he is making a
very excellent local paper.

ligious, differing so wildly, are public
men equally as antagonistic upon
issues in advocating which they have
become famous. Geo. Converse an ex-
Democratic Congressman ID. j. Ryan,
ex-Republican Secretary of State, FIR.
Valley the humble pennlless Domln-
lean monk and Gen. Beatty the
heroic soldier and affiuent banker;
Gen. Tom Powell, recent Democratic
candidate for Governor and Geo. K.
Nash, Republican leader and member
of the Supreme Bench, and Alfred
Lee, the bosom friend of President
Hayes, and Booth and Jones. the
rising stars of the Columbus Bar.
These men, leaders all of them, repre-
senting differing sects and differing
parties, Standing together on the
same platform, advocating the cause
of Temperance, is sign significant to
the Soldiers in the ranks as the Sign
the legions of Constantine saw in the
sky and by that sign conquered.

ahead for his best interest but the fact
that he is good broker, that he is
nice gentleman, that he happens for
the time being to have a legal resi-
dence in this county are no reasons why
he should be elected to the most re-
sponsible Office in the county. 1t is
the misfortune of Mr.. WoOdworth, as
it is the misfortune of many other
equally good young men, that he is
not a tax payer, and has contributed
nothing toward maintaining even the
office to which he desires. 1t is his
misfortune, but the fact that he is not
a tax payer is no reason why he should
be elected. Because he invites the
Populist support, and is semi-officially
pledged to that party, is no reason
reason why he should expect the vote
of tax payers who are democrats.
If Mr.. Woodwork has claims upon
the support of the old Republican cit
liens of the county, he should pre-
sent them. He can have no difficulty
in doing so, having three Republi-
can papers in full operation in the
county, and two additional in his
neighborhood, Nelsonville.
The SsNTINEL has no war on Mr..
Woodwork. We have standing
fight against the Republican party,
and as the candidate of that party and
a kind of last resort anything to heat
a democrat for the Populists and Pro-
hibit,onists. He may expect us to
protest against his election to an
Office which belongs to the citizen
tax payers of this county.
The Republican Candidate for Com
missioner Mr.. Cart Webb, is pleas
ant gentleman, clever fellow, and
has lots of acquaintances through the
county. But We don't know that he
has especial claims upon the Office Of
County Commissioner. This is an
office that requires man of prudence
and sound Judgment. The tact to
buy cattle cheap is not especially an
accomplishment for commissioner.
and outside of the fact that Mr.. Webb
is Republican nominee he has no
claims on any one, except the Repub-
licans who nominated him. He is
entitled to the vote of his Republican
supporters, and that is all the claim
he has, and that claim may be dis
puted If it is shown his nomination was
not made in accordance with the wish
es of the substantial men of his party.
The Candidates for Infirmarv
Director and Coroner are Republi-
cans. If that is a claim for office in
this Democratic County, let them
come forward in their party organs
and say SO.
The Democratic ticket is good
enough for any democrat, and is also
good enough we hope for hundreds of
our old time Republican friends who
knew their neighbors for life time,
and know they can trust them.

will Eli Patton sell out or be sold

The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1894-10-11

We have the Information, and il
comes from good authority, that the
Republicans in Ward Township are
claiming that they will control all the
labor organizations in the county for
their candidate, Woodwork. Now
if this be the case where is Col. Freis-
ner and his Populist party. 1t is
evident that the Populist of Ward
are being worked for Woodwork.
Their is Col. Freisner and John Nc
Bride to be kind of tin can to the
tail of the Republican party. Let
there be showing of hands.

Gen. Grosvenor Opening.

The opening Campaign meeting OF
Gen. Grosvenor in Hooking at Muir.
ray on last Saturday was dreary
miserable, pitiable failure.
For two weeks his numerous organ
here and hereabou,s were putting and
blowing for the great out pouring,
special trains, and free trains were
secured to carry the crowds, brass
bands colored and otherwise were
hired to give attraction to the occas-
ion. Judge Bright the young eagle
and Sill! Pursell the old porpoise were
included in the list of speakers az
contributing side shows to the circus
gasticutius.
And with all the Tom Tom clatter
and rattle and bang to get together
a crowd, there were scarcely three
hundred persons at the meeting, a
large majority of whom were Popu-
lists.
Gen. Grosvenor speech was mainly
a denial of his responsibility in bring
ing the Soldiers to Gloster. He
made no reference to the Democratic
Tariff reduction in the price of cloth
ing for the miners. He did not con-
demn Congress for maintaining a pro-
tective duty on coal. He did not de-
nounce the Ohio Democratic State
Platform for its position in favor of
free silver. The General did not
not denounce the Democratic Admin
istratiOn for the many pensions it
granted and increases it allowed, and
i'll securing which he did also worthy
and creditable part.
In fact the opening was mainly a
denial of his completely in bringing
the soldier into the Valley during the
strike and in effect censuring Gov.
Mckinley for his course in this
regard.
The side shows, Bright and Pursell,
were but common place performances,
and the public have had enough of
them without further mention.
The Democratic Opening and con-
tinuing speech to the miners in Ward
Township is--The Democratic party
gives the miners protection on coal
that the price Of labor may be MAIN
tanned makes tariff reduction on cloth
ing in order that the laboring man
can be comfortably clothed.
