TIE rival Republican camps in
Ohio are about to break up the winter
qniet and begin the summer cam
paign. The Sherman-Foraker quar-
rel will be fought over again this year.
The Sherman forces are the old Re
publican veterans. They are the .Old
Republicans" of every community.
In state affairs, the corps commanders,
under Sherman are, Mckinley, Gros-
venor, Nash, and other supporters of
Mckinley. Forakers chiefs are Bush
nell. Cox and the great unknown and
dissatisfied of the party.
In Hooking the Shermanites are
known as the followers of Rempel.
Eggleston, Vickers, Pqrsell, White,
Kontner, Steinman, Baird.
While the Forakerites are mainly the
men Of the new regime. The Foraker
ties, are Brig hit, Sands, Mckay, Dolli-
son, Weitzel, Lyons, Allen.
The Sherman forces in this county
and in The state are organized and
disciplined. In Hooking County the
Forakerites are numerically, the
stronger but they lack leadership,
and are split up Oh local issues. Rep
resentative Rochester is on the fence.
The Sherman, Glosvenor, Rempel,
Pursell gang are quiet but they will
win.
Our sympathies, if that can be the
term in war outside of us, are with
the Jap and the Forakerites, but John
Sherman is not Ii Hung Chang, and
our fears and our tears commingle in
apprehension of the coming of the
glacial period again in Ohio and Hook.

DUNMoRE's EXPEDITIONS.
By Capt. Wm. NJ. Bowen.

DUNMORE EXPEDITIONS
When Lord Dunmore, Governor
of Virginia.in the month of August,
A. D. l774, with a following of
twelve hundred soldiers, made his
famous march up the valley Of the
Hook Hooking from its confiuen ce
with the mighty Ohio, he tarried
only for nightly camping purposes,
until he arrived at the point where
canoe navigation -euded: that was,
the great falls of the Hook Hooking
River, situated in what is now Falls
Township, Hooking County: here
he gave his command a few days Of
much needed rest. ..
Dunmore's Expedition had been
formed for the purpose of carrying
war into the enemy's country, in
retaliation for continuous depreda-
tions being committed by the Ohio
tribes Of Indians, which consistedGof
the Mingocs, Iroquois, Wyandots,
Shawnees and Delawares.
A portion of the tribes had villages
scattered along the Scioto River,
through what is now known as Ross
and Pickaway cou mites: and from
the Hook Hooking Falls he marched
his troops across the country to
within some seven miles of where
the City of Circleville now stands:
there he was met by delegation Of
Indians, when grand pow now was
held: A treaty of peace satisfactory
to both parties was signed, and Lord
Dunmore returned by the same route
passing down the Hook Hooking to
its mouth, where he had erected a
fort, leaving force in defence,
when he started out on his expedi-
ton: Some writer's have it that or
the return to this fort the soldiers
were disbanded, but we have no def
mite record of this fact.
The exploration of this Valley,
with its magnificent forests, its
grand virgin soil, the respiendency
of scenery, the abundance of game,
the blue waters replete with fish:
with its panoramic array of beauty
and usefulness, passing before this
white host was not lost in the minds
of the beholder: but on their return
to the fort, their discharge from
further service wherever it may
have been: the greater portion being
men of families, hastened to tlieii
homes, where with their friends
and neighbors the elegance and
advantages of what, 10y them had
been witnessed, was reported and
discussed.
tits tolerably well authenticated that
some of the more venturesome, had
never returned 10 their homes, but
had gone back from the fort on sthe
Ohio, which was called "Fort
Power" and located here and there
in the wilderness of the Valley. = :

WAR! NOT BLOODY BUT

Is Raging Among the Repub-
lican Leaders
But 1t is only the HOwling
of the wind before the
Real Storm Begins.

The Franklin County Grand Jury
has been kept busy for several days
past investigating the scandals of
the salary grab legislature.
The case of George B. Cox, of Gin
.cinnati (''Coxey, Old Boy,'') charged
with bribery is occupying consider
abe portion Of the time, and one pc
culiarity OF the whole proceeding, is
that it is republican movement.
1t is openly charged that it is a
scheme of Mckinley's friends, and
t',at they hope thereby to fasten some
o the dishonesty of the last legisla
ture on Ex. Gov. Foraker and thus
destroy his chances for U. S. Senator.
1t is charged that Mckinley is in
full sympathy with the movement
and that the investigation will be con-
,inued until the true inwardness of
every suspicious proceeding, and their
name is legion, will be probed to the
bottom AMI exposed to the gaze of
the public.
While it is pitched battle Of the
lca,lers, in which only political effect
is sought, yet through it the people
may learn something of the "ways

who were willing to take two years

And it Has Come to Pass.
Gallipoiis Bulletin

Gallipois Bulletin.
While the Wilson bill was pending
in Congress, and Republicans were IS
serting it would reduce wages and de-
stroy manufacturing industries, MIR.
Thomas Dolan, of Philadelphia, one
of the most extensive woolen man u
facturers of the country and an ar
dent protectionist, in an interview
which attracted much attention at the
time, says the Pittsburgh Post, de-
clared it would be better if the Re-
publican writers and speakers would
say less about the lowering Of wages,
which they predicted as result of
the repeal of the Mckinley law, for it
might happen that wages would be
raised under the new tariff, and then
their argument would come home to
roost.
This is precisely what has happened
and what is happening now. In MIR.
Dolan's particular industry, that of
wool, the Democratic doctrine escaped
the intrigues of the senatorial juuta,
and had reasonably fair application.
Wool was placed on the free list and
there was big cut in the duties on
wooden fabrics from the Mckinley
average of 100 per cent to one of
about 35.
Did wages go down? Were the
factories closed? Not bit of it. Last
week Mr.. Dolan announced that in
his greet Philadelphia mills wages
were to be increased Is per cent. The
man who had been getting $12 a week
was to get $3.50, and so on in that
proportion. The same story comes
from the great woolen mills Of New
England. The manufacturers of
woolens have been prospering as they
have not prospered for years. Their
productive power is taxed to its ut
most capacity. New mills are being
built and old ones enlarged. We are
actually sending American woolens to
England. And, better than this,
American consumers are getting better
woolen goods-there is less need Of
shoddy-and at cheaper rates than
under the Mckinley law, which taxed
the raw material 80 per cent and the
finished product 100 per cent, and
so encouraged the shoddy mills.
Here we have an illustration of the
working OF Democratic tariff reform,
when honestly applied. 1t is compu-
ted that free wool and reduced duties
on wooden goods save the American
people s17O,OO0,000 a year. /
