Candidates for Congress.

In casting our eye over this con
gressional district for suitable candi
date for congress, on the Democratic
ticket, our eyes involuntarialy rest Oh
Col. Seth Weldy, of this county.
There is no sounder Democrat in
the district or in the State, nor man
who would bring more honesty Oh
ability to the position.
A sound constitutional lawyer and
an able dehater, Col. Weldy would
occupy a prominent position in the
body of national Legislators.
His high character as a citizen,
lawyer, soldier, and statesman is suf-
ticient guaranty that the interest Of
his constituents would he well repre-
scented and taken care Of

but we believe that the exegincies OF
the times are such that our bes. men
should be asked to take q hand in the
management of the affairs Of state,
and we further believe that the Col,
has too much patriotism to decline a
nomination if rendered him.

P. NJ. Cullinan, Editor and
Proprietor.

Mr.. P. NJ. Cullinan, surviving
partner of the New Lexington Herald
firm of Culllnan and Meloy, has
purchased the interest of Mrs. Me-
10y, and is now sole proprietor of
that standard, reliable and influential
Democratic organ. The price paid
we are told for the half interest is
$4,000.
Although Perry is Republican
and New Lexington but hamlet of
not one fourth the population Of
Logan, and with half dozen news
paper competitors in the county, the
Herald is cheap at the price paid and
we con gratulate Bro. Phil upon the
bargain he has secured.
The Herald is the established pa
per. 1t has grown up with Its
town, its county. 1t is identified
with Its party in its victories and de-
feats for the last quarter of century.
1t has been the advocate of public
progress in every good enterprise,
and it is an established business in
stitution of the county and fixed
and potent factor in the Democratic
party. The Herald has had hard
times, has careened on tempestous
seas, has plowed stumpy ground,
but in every situation it has been
solvent, paying its debts; in every
disaster, standing by its party.
1t has passed the period Of bus
mess venture, commercial specu.
lation. 1t is stable, solid, self
sustaining. 1t is good property.
1t is not a political Incident. 1t has
passed to an age of respected char
acter and prudent leadership. 1t is
the Democratic organ of its county,
and in the hands of Mr.. Cullinan
whose entire time now will be de-
voted to its management, it will rise
higherand be- more potent in holding
alott the banners of. Traiff Re-
form and progressive Democracy.
Brother Cullinan has our con-
gratulations upon his sole proprie
torship, and we bespeak for him
pleasant sailing IN soft seas on the
ship where he is Commodore and
Pilot.

information that j. Bruce Dollison.
Manager of the Ohio Democrat, has

DoN'r forget that the Mckinley
bill gave free raw sugar to the sugar
trust and protected them to the tune
of ha,fa cent pound upon manu-
tactured sugar. This put all the pro-
fits from sugar into the pockets Of the
trust and not dollar into the nation
al treasury. On the other hand. it took
out of the treasury about S9,O0QsO 900
per year which it gave to the pro-
ducers of sugar, or, in other words,
that the other industries of the coun-
try were taxed to the tune of nine
millions of dollars per year for the
benefit Of the manufacturers of sugar,
while all the people who used sugar
under the Mckinley bill were taxed
for the sole benefit of the sugar trust
30 cents per hundred pounds. That
is the bill that the sugar trust fought
for and desired to keep upon the
statute books.

The correspondents of the daily
newspapers in general, have been send
ing out sensational dispatches from
Lima, charging corruption on the part
of the city ouncil in accepting the bid
for street paving from the firm of
Horne and HOLLYWOOD. We have be-
fore us copy of the Lima Republi-
can Gazette in which the sworn state
ment is made by. majority of the
council that there was no attempt at
corruption or bribery as stated, and
that the HOLLYWOOD block was chosen
because upon an examination in vari-
Gus ci ties, in which over four
hundred miles of this block is used, as
we'll as endorsements of the highest
authority from street inspectors, it
was found in their judgement to be
the best. The council further stated
that the excitement over the letting
Of the contract, is from evil disposed
and disappointed competitors.
The HOLLYWOOD Brick made at Logan
has nothing superior in the market,
and its character as a street paving
material Of the very best quality, has
never been questioned.

Must Have Played Poker,

The Cincinnati Enquirer Of last
Thursday has the following choice bit
information concerning respected
Ohio man who is well and favorably
known in this community.
"NEw YORK, August 10. -Ex-
Supreme Judge Selwin w. Owen, at
tracts attention in any hotel corridor,
even in New York. He is 6 feet 4,
has long locks of gray, and is in gen.
eral makeup the ideal jurist. Calm,
deliberative, sagacious, he is eventually
to be the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio, when he thinks sue
cess possible. He is always smooth
shaven, and thereby hangs tale.
Fifteen years ago he patronized a
barber in the little town of Bryan.
One day he decided to shave himself
henceforth, and to place in a box a
silver dime after each shave. This
daily bit of economy was to create a
fund for his daughter, then child.
The fund grew, was invested from year
to year, and today the daughter is a
young woman with $4,000 in her own
right as the result of her fathers
CUSTOM"
By calculation we discover that
the Judge could not bave got more
than s36.5O or S36.60 per year in the
manner stated, which would amount
to s12S7.S2 if compounded annually
at 10 per cent. In view Of the figures,
we are disposed to the opinion that
the reporter has lied or that the judge
has been eminently successful at
,,ol-or

A Good Opening.

A few days ago a representative
of the Valley Journal IN soliciting a
subscription informed his victim, in
confidence, that the Journal was not
Republican paper, but was indie
pendent in tone and policy
Now we do not care what kind
of a paper the Journal is or may
be, all we know of the matter is
what its authorized agent said, and
we infer that:
"The tale Was true he telled me-"
last spring at meeting of the
Republican Central Committee of
this county, after long and serious
consideration it was resolved, that
"The Republican Gazette and the
Hooking Valley Journal are alike"
Now we have the testimony of
the Journal, that it is not Republi-
can in politics, and the resolution of
the committee that the Journal and
Republican Gazette are "alike"
therefore there is no Republican
paper in the county.
With Republican Sheriff, Sur.
veyor and Probate Judge, this is
surely an excellent opening for some
able and enterprising stalwart to
open newspaper shop of the Re-
publican faith.
We recommend the situation to
Col, Antonius Barleon who has been
living on the barren pastures of
Vinton and suggest that he come
here where there is excellent and
suculent official pabulum waiting
the gathering of a stalwart hand.

The Republican Gazette of last
week, seems IN deep distress lest
the Democrats fuse with the Popu-

No Fusion Necessary.

The Democratic party: IS not party
of subterfvges, coalitions or tusions.
1t welcomes to its ranks all who are
ready to avow its principles and sup
port its candidates, but it will not bow
its neck to any yoke, or seek to
strengthen its voting power by a
sacrifice of its ancient and we'll tested
tenents of faith.
Coexistent with our present form of
government it has been demonstrated
by long years of trial that the well
marked policy of the party is the best
calculated to bring, and to continue,
prosperity and content among all
classes of our conglomerate citizen
ship.
The Democratic party recognizes
no classes or distinctions but declares
that all citizens are, and of right
ought to be, equal before the law.
This being the ultimate enI Of all
good government we have 70 need for
a new party to propagate, to foster or
to enforce the doctrine.
He who believes in a government
"by the people, for the people" and
is ready to lend his aid to carry out
the doctrine, is a Democrat and
should support its candidates as the
surest means of attaining the desired
end.
Any party that seek; to advance
the interest of one class Of our people
at the expense of another is opposed to
the Democracy and ergo, opposed to
the best interests Of republican form
of government.

In consequence Of the assumption on
