A Mexican on silver.

MEXICO Cry, July 21.-The silver agi.
tRtion in the United States is much dis.
Cussed in financial circles here. A lead
ing capitalist Of this city, who has large
financial connections in England and
the United States said:
"The immediate effects Of the United
States becoming a silver country would
be felt by corporations owning gold in
Europe, and also by the government,
which has q gold debt held abroad.
These would be the sufferers at the out
set Of the transformation Of the United
States into silver standard country.
"But the United States having q wide
range Of climates and varied pEoduc-
tions, are a self supporting country, cap
able Of feeding the immense population
and Of clothing it without going out
side. And, not being under the neceas-
ity OF paying q heavy gold premium for
many Of the necessities of life, as is the
case with some countries on silver
basis, the United States would adjust
themselves to the new condition with
comparative ease.
"Without doubt the United States
would become the largest exporting
country on the globe, having every class
Of manufactured product; would export
to the very countries from which they
now import very heavily. IL this way
the United States would become a for
midsble competitor Of Europe. The cost
Of labor and Of production would grad.
ually be regulated by the value Of the
dollar in silver.
"The advantages to be gained BY SELL
ing agricultural products and M iu-
fRctured goods (the cost Of which would
be paid in silver) to gold using cOun-
tries, is the gain of the gold premium,
which would naturally varywith the price
Of silver. There Is no doubt in my mind

But There Is Little Doubt That OleVe-

Nomination.

NOMINATION,
WASHINGTON, July 28.-Thsre is NO
longer any doubt in a wide circle OF
public men that President Cleveland is
looking for his fourth nomination.
Some months ago, when this was first
intlmRted, there were doubts expressed
among those who were watching the
trend Of affairs, but further inVestigs'
tion has led them to the conclusion that,
ridiculous as it may seem, the reports
are true.
Naturally enough, the men who are in
a position to know most about the mat.
ter are careful not to give out inRorma-
tion for publication. They do not want
to be held up before the president as
leaking" for that would iDjure them
with him and they might suffer thereby.
But while it is not possible to get these
men to give out any news FOR publica.
tion over their names, at the same time
many Of them have decided opinions on
the subject. There is no doubt that Mr..
Cleveland is now at work psrfscting
plans to make the race for president.
1t is conceded by ell of financial and
political sense that the Wall street

il nothing else will bring around the re-
suit. This being the case, they will con-

to contract or expand the volume Of
their circulating notes at will, and il
was done on the representation Of the
banks that the volume Of their notes
comprised flexible currency, going out
into the channels Of circulation when
other money became scarce, and coming
back when not required by the demands
OF trade. The same act further says:
"'And whenever, and so often, as cir
culating notes shall be issued to any
such banking association, so increasing
its capital or circulating notes, or 30
newly organized as aforesaid, it shall be
the duty OF the secretary of the treasury
to redeem the legal tender United States
notes in excess only Of 300 million OF
dollars, to the amount of 80 per centum
Of the sum Of national bank notes 30
issued to any such banking association
as aforesaid and to continue such re.
demption as such circulating notes are
issued until there shall be outstanding
the sum of 300 million dollars Of such
legRl-tender United States notes, and
no more
"Thus it will be plainly seen that the
retirement Of the grssnbRcks wRs
largely due to a taoit understanding
that national bank notes would take
their place whenever the business inter-
ests of the country required it. But
since the boycott on their notes has
been proposed these bankers boast that
they acted the dog in the maDgsr dur
ing the dark days Of money famine,
when the woes Of the people bafflsd de-
scription by tongue or pen,
"WhRt pRlliAtion do they offer for such

National. Our notes are locked up in
the vault, and have always been there.
Not dollar Of them has ever been put
in circulation. National bankers care
nothing for this privilege OF issuing
notes because it doesn't pay says Ly-
man j. Gage, OF the First National.
This statement proves what l said in
the boycott notice, namely, that private
interest and not the public welfare is
the bankers motive for furnishing cir.

would drown the walls Of fRmishinR
women and dying babes with laughter
and ieers II their private interests were

which he uses their own comments TO
show up the gigantic national bank

"United States treasury cfficials stated
to the press that the boycott, if carried
out, will iDjure labor and not the banks,
because it will decrease the circulating
medium 2ll million dollars. Last year
the same officials were telling heipsople
that the country contained more circu-
lating medium than was necessary, that
what the country needed was confidence
and credit. Now they are affirming that
the volume Of currency in circulation
regulate wages and prices, and therefore
the boycott will reduce wages because
it will reduce the volume Of circulating
medium-Rn admission which they
would never before make.

"The statements quoted from the
bankers are the best reasons why their
notes should be boYcotted by every pa

not only admit that their notes are not
money, but acknowledge that while low
wages, starvation, enforced idleness and
business depression are prevalent
throughout the nation they wilfully and
wRntonly withdraw their notes from cir

Hits Them lard.

The speech made by Governor Camp
bell at the great opening in Columbus,
as well as those made by the other
speakers Oh that occasion, and also the
pointed and timely speeches being made
by Governor Campbell and the other
Democratic orators since, struck the Re-
publican bosses i'll q tender and vital
spot.
They can do little else than sputter
and vociferate and indulge in unbecom.
ing personalities and insinuations. The
terrible excavations to which the bosses
and corruptionists and spendthrifts are
being subjected are necessary for the
publication of the public service, and
especially legislative reform.
No attempt has been made to ans wer
the indictment on which the bosses and
corruptionists have been arraigned.
The men who are chargeable with them
still seem to imagine that the people
will let them off without categorical
answer.
In this they are miserably mistaken.
The great popular uprising Of the plain
people-Republicans and Democrats
alike-is against these identical things.
Against the reckless extravaganza
which compelled the issue Of half mil.
lion dollars of state bonds to pay the
states current expenditures. Against
the exemption of these bonds from all
forms of taxation as soon asthey passed
into the hands of couple OF favored
millionaires, making them a present of
$4,000 of the peoples money annually,
! Against the Hooking canal steal And
against long catalogue of similar trans
actions.
They may continue on in their re-
fusal to answer to the people for what
they have done, but the people do not
intend to forget them when they go tc
the polls.
The whole financial system of tht
state is in danger of collapse and costly
complications, because of reckless legis
lation and weak administration.
There is but one way to relieve the
situation-enlist under the banner o.
James e. Campbell and put the stat'
beyond the power of the bosses and cor
ruptionists.
No voter who desires to see reforma
tion of methods can afford to stay ava.
from the polls, and by his absence hell
to indorse the bosses and their methods
Nor can he afford TO throw away hi
vote ON any third party, for in so doinI
he also aids in indorsing boss methods
The only way is 10 vote straight an
. effectively against them.

The Canton Record certainly dilated It's

attempted tJ hold up Sheriff Doll as the

only time that Sheriff Doll was ever
known to favor organized labor, was
when he was around begging for votes for

that Sheriff Doll called out the militia TO

ton of this honored statesman, for all to

remedy to be cured. But 1t Is fact that
doctors, statesmen, scholars, preachers,
druggists, and the people everywhere,
unite with one voice in pronouncing this
grand medicine the greatest curer of dis
ease ever known. The weak, the feeble,
the nervous, the rundown and debili-

1t is not patent medicine, but the pre-
scription of the most successful living
specialist in curing. nervous and chronic
diseases, DIR. Greene, of 80 West 14th ST.,
NV York City. He has the largest prac-
tice in the world, and this grand medical
discovery is the result of his vast exper-
iunce. The great reputation of DIR Greene
is guarantee that his medicine will
cure, and the fact that he can be consult

personally or by letter, gives absolute as
surance of the beneficial action of this
wonderful medicine.

1t will not do for the Republican ma.
chine managers to content themselves
with abusing Governor Campbell for
his fearless exposure of the scandalous
extravaganza and corruption which
characterized the last Republican legis-
lature The rank and fle of the Repub-
hcan party are honest and intelligent,
and they are entitled to hear from their
leaders some sort of explanation for this
extravaganza and corruption. Governor
Campbell has performed high public
duty in exposing it. Every vote cast
for Campbell or the Democratic ticket
will be cast to condemn it. Every
vote cast for the Republican ticket will
be an Endorsement Of it. Every vote
cast for the Populist ticket will not only
be thrown away, but will help to in
dorse Coxism and corruption, the
political Siamese twins.

The Coxex.RepubIicnn Game.

There is no longer the slightest room to
doubt that J. S. Coxey and the republican
state executive committee have formed an
alliance and are working together to secure
the success of the Boss George b. Cox gang in
the selection of Bushnell for governor, and
another gang Legislature.
A few days ago Coxey was billed to speak at
Milo, a suberb OF Columbus. On his way there
he quietly slipped into the city of Columbus
and visited the republican state headquarters
and was closeted with the republican man
ayers for two or three hours
The terms of the alliance are, Of course un-
known, but that it was entered into is evident
for within IS hours after this conference
81, 300 was sent into Hooking county to aid
in recruiting the Coxey forces from the demo-
cratic ranks
The plan is a shrewd one. The money was
sent into the townships and placed in the
hands ola few selected Republicans who at
once proiessed conversion to Coxey aud set out
to induce their democratic neighbors to join
with them.
The same thing is being done in all the
Democratic counties, the belief being that the
professions of these republican Doodle holders
will have the effect of inducing Democrats to
throw away their votes on Coxey while the re-
publicans will, Notwithstanding their preten-
sions, vote the straight republican ticket.
No intelligent democrat should permit him
self to be deceived by such transparent
frauds. Another trick concocted at the
Republican headquarters at Columbus, to
make Coxey appear in the role of martyr
was carried out the other evening in the town
of Cambridge.
Coxey went there unannOunCed and getting
on a store box began to make a speech to Il
crowd that gathered around him. The repub.
lican marshal of the town put in an appearance
and ordered him to quit speaking. He re-
fused and the marshal pulled him off the box
and broke up the meeting.
The next morning all the republican papers
announced the democratic outrage" and laid
it to the democratic party The whole thing
was a trick and a fraud arranged between
Coxey and the republican party.
The real and avowed principles of the popu-
list party are wholly different from the dec
trines and foolish vagares put forth by Cox, y
to the disgust of the intelligent men in the
party, and it is hard to understand how any
popuist can vote for him. especially when it
is clear that he is acting as the stool pigeon #
Geo. B. Cox and his campaign expenses are
being paid by the republican committee.

A Tidal Wave Coming.

Six years ago there was geneEM iul-
preston that James E. Campbell had the
state pretty we'll worked up. But the en-
thusiasm Of that period was but zephyr
to the storm Of enthusiasm this gallant
son of Butler is creating now. Old time
politicians who have known what hard
cider and log cabin campaign was say that
the present whirlwind Cf publio feeling
for Campbell now sweeping over the state
from the river to the lakes Is unprec-
edented in the political annals OF the
state. The republicans are white with
terror and in their dread they have
turned upon the democratic standard
bearer with the ferocity of wild animals
and sought to brand him as the worst
among men, simply becase he is exposing
the iniquity and rottenness OF republican
administration in Ohio. But the people
of this state know the spotless and blame
less life Of Campbell, and instead of driv-
ing votes away from him, they are sim
ply bringing them over in droves to the
dem ooratic standard bearer. The repub.
lican visions of 100, 900 and 90, 900 have
long since passed away. They are not
even talking about Co. 900 louder than a
whisper and then only by themselves.
The democratic party is riding on crest
ed political wave which Is daily mounting
higher and higher as it approaches the
state capital and 1t will only stop when
its breakers beat upon the gray stone
walls Of the state house and James +,
Campbell sits once more in the executive
chair of the Buckeye state
The surplus in the federal treasury for
September was severe blow to the re-
publican press Of the state. 1t was bad
enough to have any surplus at all, but
when it amounted TO more than SO, 000,-
900 it was absolutely disgusting to repub-
lican editors and speakers. Most of them
entirely forgot to say anything about the
treasury statement, and none of them
probably even know that this surplus of
over three million dollars Is a greater sum
raised by the democratic tariff law in one
month than the Mckinley law raised
above expenses for the third year of its
operation. The month Of October Is an
interest and pension paying month and
for that month it is possible the expenses
may slightly exceed the receipts, but in
the main the days of deficits are over and
the democratic law has come to stay.
| It might be noted that during September
it requires more than $4,000, 900 to pay
pensions Without pensions there would
have been a surplus Of more than S13,
600, 600, so it will be seen that the demo-
cratic party is still paying pensions.
| Governor Campbell is man of the
people, with the peoples interests so near
and dear to him that he neglects his own
70 champion their cause; there are few
men more pleasing or more popular than
Governor Campbell, and there is not a
democrat in this county who will not
rally to his support whether he be a can
ddato for the governorship or the prcsi-

A Inst Tribute.

III 1853, when James II. Campbell
was candidate for governor, and was
elected, the men who now constitute
the George B. Cox gang conceived the
idea of defeating him by falsehood and
forgery, and the bitterest kind of per-
sonal defamation. Decent Republicans
then, as now, resented this disreputable
mode Of doing things.
After the meanest of the falsehoods
had been exploded and the most menda-
tious of the forgeries had been exposed,
General Charles II. Grosvenor, the well
known Republican congressman, who
fought Governor Campbell's politics,
but refused to be party to falsehood
and forgery, was billed to speak in the
intensely Republican city Of Xenia, in
1889, in behalf of Governor Foraker's
candidacy.
Some one in the audience asked him
if he knew James L. Campbell, and il
he did,. what sort of character did he
bear? In answer to the question Gen.
eral GrOsvenor said:
"He is gentleman Of high character,
pure patriotism, and high order Of IN
telligence; of answering honesty and
fidelity. Upon every question in which
the soldier was interested he voted as
voted, and claim to have pretty good
standing as friend to the soldiers OF
the war. Side by side with me he voted
for all measures of relief for the soldiers
Side by side he voted with me for the
dependent pension bill, and hand in
hand with me he voted TO pass ne bill
over the veto of Mr.. Cleveland"
And what did the Cox gang, who
were then running the Republican cam
paign as they are now, do with Genera
Grosvenor for saying this of a pUlinca
opponent? They cancelled all of his en-
gagements and refused to allow hIr t.
make another speech in the campaign
of 1889 They punished him for being
a decent Republican then, as they pro
pose to punish all other Republicans fol
