DEAR Mr. EDITOR OF HoCKING SEN
TINEI:
Since our last effort TO write to Tho
SENTINEL, after viewing the Eeput
lican parade in Logan. our news have
been somewhat shaken by tie earth
qdake, cyclone and meeting the enc
my face to face in the arena Of battle
of ballots at the POLLS, all of which
we have passed through and GENE
out of the latter somewhat d:sfgured
but not in the least discouraged. We
have met the enemy face to face in
Hooking county and cut down their
majority in this county cons derable
to what it was in 1894. Not only IN
Hooking county have we cut down
the enemy's majority but al! over the
State of Ohio and that should be
some encouragement at least.
Last year after the battle, all of Us
Hooking county Democrats had to GO
up Salt river, but this year some OF
the slain from the enemy will have to
go along, who no doubt will feel
lonely but we will cheer him up and
treat him with respect during our voy-
age, and while it is somewhat embar-
assing to go on such q voyage, it is
some consolation to our mind that
some of the enemy has to 90 too.
We had gool men, honorable and
competent for the officers for which
they were aspirsnts, but as history de-
clares, that great men have fallen in
battle, which we take for granted to
be true.
Campaigns in Ohio and elsewhere
either spring or fall generally end with
the election, but our adversary, Gag
etteer Mckay, seems determined to
Keep up the fight, after the battle is
over and peace declared, and tr. ing
to bury orr dead, and care for the
wounded and afflicted, from the re-
suits of the battle, and bidding our
friends farewell tefore going up
Salt river, but VIC consider the source
ind reverts the Mary Ann obituary
of Sand Run and the acrostic thereto.
and after composing the letters in
said acrostic into words the enigma
was solved and means "an animal
that brays, y a dolt, and the braying
still continues after the battle as be-
fore, as the Journal Gazette of Nov.
Sth, smeeringly vituperates Virgil C.
Lowry "who run" on the Democratic
ticket, for telling the truth about the
slanderous sheet and falsely represent
7 ing things that were not so, as Lowry
and others well knew to be facts.
We do not know that Mr. Lowry,
in his speech, advised any of his hear
ers rot to take the "braying" sheet,
but if he did not the writer would ad-
wise right now and forever every
Democrat in Hooking county not to
take such partisan sheet under pre-
tense of being neutra..
Mr.. V. c. Lowry is the superior of
its editor and his opponent in the po-
Etical combat, in truth and verracity.
He made good campaign, he pre-
sented the issues to the people, he
made no promises, was not bound out
or pledged to anyone, submits his
cau-e, and cheerfnlly abides the re-
suit.
And now as we are about to EN-
bark with our Republican friend and
be gone a short time we will return to
renew our battles and gain that which ,
we lost. Mr.. Lowry will pursue his
his even tenor, everyday life, law
practice, meet his friends and look
them straight in the face and say to {
them that he never assisted in taking /
S01, 900 of the peoples taxes, and re- i
reive $500 for his share, that while
in office his record is something more i
Ihln (0) zero, and will live and pros
pei in spite of his vi.ifier, the Journal d
Gazette, who thinks "he killed the O
Dcar." 3
But he need not think for moment v
hat any of the glory need be attribu. m
