The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1894-11-15

Republican party was an old fossil,
a decaying remnant of a past age;
that the Populist party was a baby,
a tot not out of long dresses, hence
the opposition, if opposition con-
fronted, was the Glee Club.
And the Commodore sailed in.
The Glee Club was to be his Argosv,
his mutton, his herd from the spoils
of the conquered provinces of Ward
and the outlying frontiers of Hook
ing.
But the war is over. The unex-
pected as usual, happened.
On last Friday evening the Glee
Club give the Commodore a sere-
made. They sung upin Maine, down in
Georgia, and howled about Growers
clover until the price of Canada hay
will certainly advance.
The Commodore capitulated at
once. The Misses Green, assisted
by their mother kindly opened wide
the doors and spread table. In
the meantime, while the Club sung
their Pestiferous Partisan Political
songs, the faces of President Cleve-
land, Andrew Jackson, Jim Camp
bell, Cal. Brice were not more i'm
passive and unmoved in the pictures
on the wall, than the hyptnoized
proprietor Of the SENTINEL.
We broke bread, eat salt together:
and smoked the cigar of peace. 1t
is truce till next time.
1t is pleasant for US to state that
the Giee Club has in its repertory a
number OF very pretty post prandiaI
songs and the Misses Green desires
thus publicly to thank the young
gentlemen of the Glee Club for the
compliment in singing for them
Bonny Dundee, killiarn ey, Sweet
Avoca, The Wearing of the Green
and other such tunefuI melodies as
| came down the centuries and cluster
around their hearts and home.
They are invited to call and sere-
made again, before thenext war be-
gins.

The Election.

The analysis Of the vote at the re-
cent election, although redounding to
the benefits Of the Republican candl-
dates, show but little that would lead
a thinking man to the conclusion that
the policy of the Republican party as
set out in the Mckinley Tariff law is
endorsed by the people.
In this regard, while the result
shows Democratic defeat, it in no
manner shows Republican Victory.
Take the vote in Hooking County
for example, and we maintain that
it is fair index of the vote all over
the country, SO far as we have been
able to investigated it.
Notice: In OHIO in 1892, the Re-
publican vote was 405,1S7 and their
plurality for Harrison was 1,O72. In
1898 the Republican vote was 433, 342
greater by 2S,155 than in the pre-
vious year, while their plurality was
60,995 and the total vote of the state
was 25,732 less than in 1892.
The official figures of this year are
hot before US, but it is conceded by
all that the Republican vote in the
state this year is less than that of last,
but their plurality will be not far
from $4,000.
Now analyze the vote of a few town
ships in this county.
Benton, cast the following vote in
the three years last past Democratic,
1S92-132; 1S93-125; 1S94117. Re-

CAMERONS ADVICE.

Senator J. Donald Cameron in his
letter to Mr.. Hamrey, Secretary of the
National Republican League at Den
yer, made some striking observations
on the silver question which are Just
now riveting the attention ofhundreds
and thousands of intelligent and
thoughtful Republicans of Ohio, as
well as elsewhere. ''To those OF us,
says Senator Cameron, "who have had
chiefly in mind the struggle between
silver and gold that is the question
which, for the moment, presses hard
est. The single gold standard seems
to us to be working ruin with violence
that nothing can stand If its in
huence is to continue for the future at
the rate ofits action during the twenty
years since the gold standard took pos
session of the world some generation,
not very remote, will see in the broad
continent of America only a half
dozen over grown cities keeping
guard over mass of capital and lend
ing it out to population of depend
ent Iaborers on the mortgage of their
growing crops and unfinished hand
iwork. Such sights have been CON-
mon enough in the worlds history;
but against it we rebel. Rich and
poor alike; Republicans, Democrats,
Populists; labor and capital; railways
churches and colleges-alf alike, and
all in solid good faith, shrink from
such future as that. A vast major
ity in all parties agree that the single
gold standard has been. is and will
be national disaster of the worst
kind"

can, 1S92-67; $3.50; '94 55. In
this precinct the Popuiists gained 80
votes, all but two of whom arc known
to have heretofore been Democrats.
Laurel, Democratic, 1S92-126; '93
115; '94-95. Republican. 1S92-6l;
1864; '94-59. Here the Populists
gained two votes.
Logan total, Democratic, 1892
427; '93-3S2; '94-337. Republican,
1892-337; '93-375; '94-399. The
Populists here gained 2S.
Marion, Democratic, 1899 III; '93

81; 1912; '94-74. Populists gain
ed 6.
Ward total, Democratic, 1S92-521;
'93-44S; "a 264. Republican, 1892
52l; '93 $50; '94-59l. The Popu-
lists cast 449 votes gan over last
year of 361. The great bulk of this
vote come from the Democratic ranks.
We have gone far enough for our
purpose in precinct analysis; now let
US look at the totals Of the county for
the same period.
Democratic, 1892-2,522; '93-2,223,
'94-l6O6. Republican, 1922, 034;
'93 2,303; '94-2,18S.
The Populists cast in 1S92-135
and in 1852.
The Republican vote at the last
election is ,54 greater than in 90
and rs less than last year, and it is
apparent to all that had the Demo-
Gratis cast their vote of 81, or even
their vote of last year they would have
been victorious in the county.
Now why were we not Sc victor
ious?
Not because the voters inclined to
Republican, as epitomized in the
tariff law of 1899, or any other of
their pronounced doctrines for in that
case We should see a material increase
of the vote of that party, correspond
ing to the decrease in the vote of the
Democracy.
But no such condition is apparent
and we must look for some other
cause.
Neither could it have been the
agitation of the Ei-metallic doctrine,
for both in New York and Penn
sylvania the Democratic defeat is, if
anything, more pronounced than in
Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois. In the two
first named states the Democracy
stood Oh gold platform, and in the
last named three the party favored
both silver and gold, but they all re-
cord Democratic defeat. No, it was
not the silver issue.
To our mind there is plain cause
for the Democratic defeat of both last
year and this to be found within the
ranks of the Democracy.
The Republican vote Of last year in
this county was 26o greater than in
the year 1892, while 300 represents
the Democratic loss. This increase Of
the Republican vote, and cogrssFon
ding decrease of the Demcc-~.ic, was

And The Next Day 1t Showed.
And The Next Week the Snow was Gone
And the Rooster Crowed.

On last Tuesday, 13 inst. an elect
ion was held in Hamilton County for
lnso vency Judge. There were two
candidates, Mcneil, Democrat and
Won Seggern, Republican.
At the State election, the week pre-
vious, the Republicans carried Ham
ilton County by majority of 22,934.
On Tuesday last Mcneil the Demo
crat was elected on vote of 1897
more than was cast for Taylor and
Turner, candidates for Secretary of
State, by a majority of 1916.
We are getting out from under the
snow i'll short order and good shape.
Our Rooster, in Hamilton County, as
will be shown elsewhere, when he slid
lit on his feet.
Our long and intimate acquaint-
ance with Mr. Mcneil leads us to the
belief that the people of Cincinnati
know good man when they see him.
Aaron Mcneil will make one of the
most fearless, honest and capable Off
cials the Queen City has ever had
The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1894-11-15

mainly occasioned by the stampede of
Democratic soldiers and their friends
who undertook in this way to give
expression to their anger at the man
agement of the pension department..
The residue of the decrease Of the
Democratic vote may be accounted
for by the absense of those who were
dissatisfied by reason of the prevail
ing hard times.
This year the same causes were at
work.
The pensioners, had to some extent,
recovered from their senseless fright
but the close hard times still remain
ed, and the Democrats were further
demoralized by the long and acrimon
ious struggle in Congress over the
tariff.
There is now and has been for sew
eral years two distinct ideas on the
tariff within the ranks of the Demo
cracy. One favoring all the protec
tion possibly consistent with the idea OF
revenue, while the other demands as
near free trade as the necessities of
revenue will admit.
Many in both these classes were
dissatisfied with the work of Congress,
and as a consequence those who were
radical on the protection side stayed
away from the polls and those who be-
lieved Congress should have gone
further in the direction of free trade
voted the Populist ticket, and thus
decimated the ranks of the Democratic
party.
These four classes of Democrats,
namely, pensioners and their friends,
those others who blindly kicked at
the hard times. and the radicals at
both ends of the tariff, are wholly re-
sponsible for Democracy's defeat.
Beyond placing their candidates in
transient official station the Republi-
cars have gained nothing. No an
nounced doctrine or policy Of theirs
has been endorsed by the popular
verdict, aud the gloom of the grave
settles like dark pal over Nc
KinIeyism. 'Protection for pro-
tection's sake" cannot be resurrected
i'll this country even by the sound Of
the last trumpet,
In the mean time what is the lesson
to Democracy. First, we may learn,
that success at the polls is not a ways
synonym for victory, nor does the
converse of the proposition always
signify defeat.
Second: That in factional wrangles
both parties are likely to be worsted.
Third: That there can be no strength
without unity.
"The conclusion of the whole
matter" is, that Democrats must be
animated anew with the junction of
compromise which will re!egate minor
likes and desires, dissentions and diff
ferences to the rear, while we march
on, shoulder to shoulder doing battle
for the cardinal principles of our
political faith, which are pure admin
istration, equality before the law and
the greatest good to the greatest
number of our fellow citizens.

The Bugles and Bazoos, Now Sing Truce.
There is no place on earth like
Logan. There is no place where,
when campsi gn is on, the fight is
tiercer, where the party lines are
dra WI tighter, and where tug and
tussel is so contentious. The day
after the election the dead are bur
ried with honors, the field strewn
with flowers, and hand shaking,
makeuping the order of the day ar l
the rule of the realm for the season.
The last campaign was like all
others that have preceded it; a
square, hard fight to a finish, and
then manly, sensible quit. The
bravest are the tenderest is the truth
of song, and 20 less is it an axiom
of Logan, that the best fighters are
, the soonest cutters.
The little growls and snarls. that
may be heard after the roar of battle
has ceased and the bugles sing truce,
do not come from the heroes of the
front lines. Whining will not be
heard in Logan from the old Demo
cratic guard who can show the
most battle sears. Now we accept
truce. When the campaign call :,
the veterans will again be In the
field.
This is preliminary to the mention
of an incident, personal somewhat,
bnt characteristic of Logan and fo:
this reason it is told.
During the campaign the proprie-
tor of the SENTENE. was denied his
dancing, delightful, active partici
patton IN the campaign by reasons Of
the rules Of the Civil Service and
the Presidents motel 'sThree p

The Future Democracy.
Columbus Call.

Column bus Gall.
The Democratic defeat on Tuesday
last was overwhelming. And yet it
need not be disheartening to the Dem
ocratic party. 1t does not negative a
single principle of the party. A care
full analysis of the returns shows that
it was not brought about by Demo
Gratis joining the Republican ranks.
Everywhere the story is the same. A
falling away of Republican votes; a
much greater falling away of Demo
cratic votes.
This was and is the result of party
dissensions. They were SO much
greater in the Democratic than in the
Republican party that by comparison,
the Democratic defeat seems over
whelming. But it is only apparent.
The Democratic voters, while they
did not vote for their party, did net
join or affiliate with the enemy.
The removal of existing causes Of
dissension, and the bringing forward
of pertinent and living issues will
again bring them into line. To that
let all the energies and the wisdom Of
the leaders of the party be
bent. The Democratic party is neither
dead nor fatally wounded.
Samuel NJ. Taylor has 125,O0O
plurality to console him for his scratch
of 1000 year ago, but there Is not
much to comfort the Republican lead
ers in that. The abstention from
voting of that many men who voted
against him last year, gives it to him.
He and his party have made no re-
cruits in spite of their great plurality.
Whatever causes may have led to
the late disaster, it is idle to discuss
them now. The work Of the future is
to let them rest in oblivion and go On
with a reorganization upon the lines
of the living questions which will
quickly present themselves.
Next year and the next will de-
mand the alignment of the Democratic
party in the peoples battle. The re-
form of the tariff which followed our
victory in 1892, will go on working
out the nations salvation, as it has
been doing for the last three months.
The voice of the calamity croaker
will no longer be heard in the land.
Already the Republican papers begin
to point to the revival OF business pros
perity, the existence of which they
denied with loud oaths week ago, and
claim that it is the result of Tuesdays
election.
But they will not deceive the peo-
ple--at least those who have common
horse sense. The Democracy will con-
tinue to fight the peoples battles, and
though disasters may come singly or
in droves. to the cause, victory will
gone in the end.
This is no time for fair weather
Democrats to flourish, but it is the
tine Tor displaying real Democracy.
