Artistic ImpmdenCe.

The speech with which Senator Brice
opened the state Democratic convention
is indeed work of art in all that is most
contemplate in Democratic politics. 1t
is plaStered over with Misrepresentation
and demagogy and forms patchwork
of illuminated political falsehoods, put
forward solely for the purpose of fooling
the people What do honest Republic
ans, who, helped by their speeches and
votes to repeal the Sherman silver pur-
chase law, think of this
And next we repealed, unconditionally. the
Sherman silver law and thereby prevented the
absolute bankruptcy of the United States
which was imminent There il no human be-
ing whose Judgment is entitled to the slightest
weight who does not know that the gravity of
the situation and the imminence of the peril
were averted by the repeal of the Sherman law
Here we have an unparalleled disre-
gard of the truth which richly merits
condemnation. Mr.. Brice asks for re-
turn of the Democratic party to power
for the good service il performed the

norantly or slovenly terms the force

and last, the repeal of the Mckinley

ley tariff law of 1890 Leaving two of
the propositions for future discussion,
we wish to call his attention TO the
proofs of the incorectness of his claim.
so far as it relates TO the silver clause of
the Sherman law.
The silver clause of the Sherman law
was repealed by the Fifty-t third congress,
but not by "a party vote, so far as the
senate was concerned. Mr.. Brice knows
very well that % Republican senator's
voted for this repeal and only 20 Demo
crats. He likewise knows that only nine
Republicans voted against the repeal and
19,of his colleagues on the Democratic
side In the house of representatives
the same was true. Out of 121 Repub-
licans 80 voted for repeal, and ont of
2l9 Democrats l24 voted for the repeal
and IS against. How is it possible,
therefore for Mr.. Brice, with any degree
of honesty, to put forward he repeal of

(Ol HE Republicans of Wood county
l. have the honor of presenting to
the voters of the county us a candidate
for the office of Representative. man
who is representative of a true type
of sturdy American manhood. The
subject of our sketch,
CAPT. O. p. NORRIS,
is a farmer, Il veteran soldier and IL
substantial, level-headed citizen in
every respect.
He was born in Wayne county. Ohio,
November IS. 1893, and four years later
his parents moved to Wood county and
thus our candidate has the honor of be-
ing a Wood county man from early
childhood.
He attended the district schools until
the age of l6 years, after which he en-
joyed the advantages of an academic
course for two years. He then en-
gagged in the very laudable pursuit of

He then attended Prof. Fosters Sc

ing course of study there at the time
the Southren States seeded from the
Union and attempted to maintain their
pet doctrine of states rights and slav-
cry. He promptly responded to the
call for volunteers to maintain the
supremacy of the Union and enlisted
in the 25th Reg't o. V.
He soon after enlisted again as pri-
vate in Co. B of the lllth o. V. (. and
by meritorious services was promoted
to the position of Sergeant. then as
Second Lieutenant. again as First

escape. He again rejQined his regi-
ment. and served until the close of the
war in 1865.
Such is the military record, briefly
told, of the candidate for Representa-
tive on the Republican ticket in
Wood county.
His record as citizen of Wood
county is no less clear and honorable.
For two years after the war he was
engaged in the mercantile trade for eX-
Governor Foster. Since that time he
has lived on farm in Perry township,
Wood county, at all times enjoying the
confidence and respect of all people
who know him.
He served six years as Justice of the
Peace of his township, and refused to
serve longer. He afterward served
two terms as Treasurer of Perry town
ship. giving complete satisfaction to
his constituents.

The KeaI Saving.

Clerk Alexander G. Caine of the Ohio
senate has figured out the saving to the
state because of the biennial session
plan of legislative sessions yer the an
nual plan. and he says that it is $75.-
94O.32. This is simply the difference in
the expenses of running the legislature
one year as compared with two.
While saving of so, 900 every two
years is not to he overlooked nor to be
underestimate, it is but a beggarly
sum to be considered when discussing
the real benefits or the biennial plan.
The saving OF an average of $31 900 a
year Is saving % less than / mill per
capita the state over. This sum is so in.
significant thar II is not worth consider
ing as an rgumput for or against BIZ
ennial sessions.
But there is a saving that is not small
and that does benefit the people of the
state i'll II way that is to be felt. When
ever Il session of the legislature is on
there is continual appeal for special
bills to raise the tax levies of cities and
villages and even of whole counties; to
bond municipalities and communities
for, many times, useless things.
AT least half of the time of a session
of Legislature is occupied with such
bills, fathered in most instances bv a
single member and passed out of defer
ence to his wishes and without any care
full consideration.
When the legislature is not in session
there comes an end to the Matching of
bonded schemes, and municipalities
manage to get along on the old tax
levies for IA while Once in two years
is often enough for the readjustment of
tax leyies 10 new needs, and too often
for more than one half of the bonding
schemes that show their heads in any
session of the legislature.
Biennial sessions of the Legislature are
all right, but if they had to depend upon
the saving of S15, 900 once in two years
as their only argument it would not be
worth while talking about them.

left business, home and friends
to do battle for his country. He
served three years as a volunteer
in the Fourth Ohio Infantry, and
was in numerous hard-fought
battles, and to-day suffers from
wound scars received for his he
roic patriotism.
After his discharge from the
service he returned to his old
house and continued to 1867,
when he became knight of

a Philadelphia cloth house. For
10 years he was ON the road and
always successful, which is man
ifest in the fact that the last few
years his salary was $500 a
year.
Three years before he quit the
road he established a clothing
house in Bowling Green. This
was conducted under the firm
name of Haukey * White. In
1877 Mr. Hankey located in the
Wood county seat, and took per-
sonal charge of his house, the
firm name having become Hankey

varied interests. No industry
has escaped the beneficial enter
prise and activity of this towns

Germ of all pursuits and every
citizen, for it meant the growth
of the town, the advance of trade,
the enlargement of distributing
interests, and individual pros

Bowling Green are extensive,

Mr.. Hankey has ever been a
staunch Republican. To his
party and its principles, he has
been as loyal as to labor and lab
orerS, whose interests have al
ways been understood and aided
by him.
The public esteem in which Mr..
Hankey is held at his home is
greater than the glory of poll
tics. He is well known through
out the district, but only as
worthy citizen, good Republi-
can. and manly man.

Home and Foreign Markets.

In estimating the relative importance
OF the home and foreign markets to our
agriculturists it needs only be said that
our corn crop alone nets the farmer IL
sum equal to our entire exports of man
ufacturing, forests, fisheries, mining
and all other agriculture. Our corn
crop III 1891 amounted to 1886, 439, ,22S,
our hay crop in 1894 To 1853, ,57S, 32l our
most valuable cotton crop in 1882 to
$309, G9G, 500
Seldom do our aggregate imports and
exports combined equal in value these
three crops alone. The entire annual
earnings of the industries of the coun-
try may be estimated at $4,000, 900, 900
annually, and of this our aggregated
imports and exports form one tenth.
The other nine-tenths are the home
market for American products and
American labor.

Capt. Norris has always been true
blue Republican and an earnest worker
in behalf of his party.
He was Il candidate for the nomina-
tion of Representative in the Republi-
can convention four years ago, against
Hon. b. +. James, but when the latter
gentleman succeeded in securing the
nomination, none were more earnest in
their support of him than was Capt.
Norris.
He was nominated bya large majority
in the last Republican convention, and
the indications are that he will be elect
ed by an overwhelming majority. and
when once elected, the people of Wood

Providence can proven this casting his

rb. Currency struggle.

Hsrper's Weekly say'; "a y0S'
AGO Kentucky was regarded as a
silyer State. Its OWE politicians
believed that the people agreed
with Senator Blackburn rather
than with Secretary Carlisle
Hardin was the first man TO al
pouuce himself as candidate Tor
Governor, and Blackburn declared
that be was a candidate for re-
election to the Senate. Both OF
them are politicians who try TO Oe
on the popular side. They have
no convictions Of their own, aud
for years they have practlced the
art OF finding out what the people
of Kentucky believe. They con-
cIuded that Kentucky was for the
free coinage OF silver, and they
have found that they we're mis-
taken. Not only are the repuOlI-
cans against, them, but they have
been defeated in the convention OF
Their own party. Itseems certain
now that Black burn canuOt be le-
elected TO the Senate, aud be hi''
self attributes his defeat to the
. honest money speeches which MT.
Carlisle made in the State just be-
fore the primaries for the election
of delegates to the convention were
held.
The result In Kentucky was
obtained by hard work. The
democrats there l. al the advantage
of able and courageous leader
ship. 1t probably seems to most
readers of newspapers that the
democrats OF Kentucky had been
misrepresented aud were always
opposed to free coinage; that they
were only waiting for Me- CieVe
land or Mr.. Carlisle to tell them
how they ought to resolve But
this Is very far from being the
truth IN Kentucky. or 10 any part
OF the W est or South. Tue minds
OF the people, and especially OF the
farmers, of those two sections nave
