The Democratic State Platform.

We present elsewhere the Declara-
ton of Democratic principles pro-
claimed by the State Convention, upon
which the battle in Ohio will be
fought and won. The declaration on
the Financial Question is the plat
form of the national convention adopt
ed at Chicago, and which the SENTI-
MEL advocated, and for the past three
months kept standing in our paper,
as the platform of our choice upon
which the great victory of '92 had
been fought and the victory so glori-
ously won.
The declaration on the Monroe Doc
trine is in the true American spirit,
and will meet the endorsement of
every patriot, no. matter to what
party he may belong. The denuncl-
alton of the acts of the Republican
party, its mis-managment of state
affairs, the imbicility and corruption
of the last legislature, are probed be-
cause of stencil the rioting party in
power haye inflicted upon the people.
Read the platform, study it, and
then submit its principles to the con-
sideration of your intelligent, fair
minded Republican neighbor.

was in the city last week disclosing a
scheme of his for presentation at the
Atlanta Exposition, which will retire
to obscurity all the attractions and

The play consists in lining up lot OF

board on the front of Il platform with
a curtain in front, hiding them, all cx-
cept the feet. The play consists in

had jay bird feet, and wouldn't stand

Two girls from Athens offered, but On
account of the size of their feet, the
stage was not long enough. Col.

can slide on water, climb Il tree, dig

CHANGE OF OFFICIALS.
John NOteStOne retires from the
TrcasUrerS Office and is
Succeeded by Henry
WoOdwOrth.

On last Monday, Mr.. Henry Wood
worth, the late elected Treasurer pre-
sented his official bond in the sum of
sl25,000, which was accepted. The
oath was administered, and Mr. Note
stone turned over to him the Office of
the County Treasurer.
In retiring from Office, Mr.. Note
stone takes with him the good wishes
and good will of all the people of
Hooking county. He has made a
model official. Faithful, in his duty,
pleasant in his manners, kind and ac-
cOmmOdatin9, he made record as an
/ officer and rs gentleman of which he
as we'll as his friends, his party and
his county may be justly proud. His
departure from Logan Will he the oc-
casion of profound regret in the social
circle in which he moved, and many a
happy company of companionable
gentlemen will miss his genial pres
ence and be as Il loss to fill the vacant
chair. In the wish of all the friends,
the SENTINEL joins in hoping his
future may be pleasant and prosper
Gus. and in going back TO his country
home, he may find as many and as
true friends welcoming him as he
leaves in Logan regretting his de-
parture.
The new Treasurer, Mr.. Wood
worth is comparatively a stranger but
| he comes to us Recommended by
those who know him as capable man
and gentleman, and as suc', we vel
come him to the official, the business
and the social circles of Logan.
The SENTINEL opposed his election
We had no hostility to MrWoodworth
We counte d him a gentleman and 81
treated him. We opposed his election
because lie is Republican, and as :
Republican our hostility continues
But now that he is our official, dul1
elected and legally installed, he ha:
our respect and confidence, and in al
that is possible, and proper, we shal
aid in making his term of service
pleasant one, and in wishing him vel
we can but hope he may make as ac
ceptable a record as the enc made b,
the official who proceeded him.

THE +. NJ $ PEN PREM
ICNs.

IN consequence OF the almost en-,
tire absence from the Fair of our
boys and girls, because of the rainy
weather, the contest for the Prem
ium proposed by the Post Master
was abandondond. 1t would not
have been fair, and would not have
accomplished the purpose designed
to have made test when only half
a dozen competitors were likely to
engage, when the number should be
at least counted by hundreds
The Premium however stands
and the contest will be opened on
the first opportunity.
We may have a public gathering
in the Hall for charitable or social
purposes in which all the people car
attend. We may have an Exposl.
ton during the Holiday season
when Prof. Rayman can give an ex'
hibition of school work; and our la
dies displap the works of art which
adorn and beautify their homes.
The test will be made, and it will be
interesting.
In this connection the Post Mas
ter desires to thank the neighbol
post masters, the public generally
for their words of approval, especial.
" Mr.. Mckay who rendered the use
of his writing desk and Editorial
Chair" Post Masters Newman and
Craig for pens, ink and paper to be
used in the contest.
In the meantime, pending tho test
for the premium, it will not be amiss
for all the. little boys and girls who
write letters to "Direet" them a:
though trying for the prize, and
then it is almost certain, the letter:
they put in the post Office will moi

OUR contemporary bewails the fact
that wool is shipped into this country.
Ifthis be true, it IS brought here to
be manufactured into clothing. 1t is
brought here because we do not have
enough wool of our own to supply
the demand. Would our cutempo-
rary keep the wool out, keep thous-
ands of operatives idle, and keep tn"
people from having a sufficenc!y of
clothing. This country buys what 1t
needs and sells what it can spare.
THIS is sense.

AMONG the many hopeful. happy
Democrats we had the pleasure OF
meeting at the ratification meeting on
last Saturday, was our old friend, ex
Recorder, Ben White, of Perry TIP
Old Father Time, although adding
years to his calender,is dealing gently
and handsomely with the old demo
cratic veteran, and Ben is as young i'll
hope and spirits, as when years ago,
he campaigned the county, singing
songs and telling jokes, and sailing
into office with nearly thousand ma
iority. Ben has the record of having
the best Election Wagon in the coun-
ty. Its regulation load to the polls
is eighteen straight democratic voters.
This year he proposes putting on hay
ladders and doubling the number in
the loads he hauls. lie is the kind of
Democrat to recover the Court House
from the enemy, and give us back our
own again.

WHAT Is DEMOCRACY.

Democracy is a sentiment not to lie
appalled,, corrupted or comprised, 1t
knows no baseness: it covers no dam
ger; il oppresses no weakness. Fear
less, generous and humane, it rebukes
the arrogant, cherishes honor and
sympathizes with the humble. 1t
comedies nothing but what it demands.
Destructive only of despotism, it is
the sole conservator of liberty, labor
and property. 1t is the sentiment Of
freedom of equal rights, of equal OBJ
legations. 1t is the law of nature
pervading the law of the land. The
stupid. the selfish, and the base in
spirit may denounce it as WI ulgar
thing; but in the history of our race,
the Democratic principle has develop
ed and illustrated the highest moral
and intellectual attribute of our ma
ture. Yes, that is noble, magnani-
nous. a sublime sentiment which eX-
pands our affections, enlarges the
circles of our symrathies and elevates
the soul of man, until, claiming an
noualitr with tho hest he rejects rs
unworthy Of his dignity, and political
immanitics over the humblest of his
fellows. Yes-it is an enobling prin-
ciple and may that spirit which ami
mated our fathers, in the revolution
ary contest for its establishment, con-
tinue to animate us, their sons, in the
impending struggle fer its rrcserva-
tion.-WILLIAM ALLEN.

Luck should be with the OHIO
Democrats this year. For the 1c
years beginning with 1877 the Ohio
Democrats have elected their gov
ernor, and carried their United States
senator, by securing the Legislature,
once in every six years, and 1888 Is
another sixth year. Besides all that,
Jimmy Campbell was born to good
luck. On the Republican side the
Mckinley and Foraker feuds are
cropping out.

THE PoPULIsTs held a convention
in the Court room last Saturday, and
nominated ticket, at least that seem
ed to be the purpose Of the meeting.
Col Freisner and a young man from
Ward who we are told came into the
county with the Pinkertons and Col
Wm Leonard of Columbus, seemed
to be managing the meeting. A vote
was taken on Sheriff and the Pinker-
ton discovered that there were more
votes cast than delegates present.
Another ballot was taken, with like
result. The convention then pro-
posed to nominate John w. Schaal
for Recorder, but John rose to a
point of order saying that the vote
for Sheriff was not settled and he
would not stand it. Then several
motions and dozen speeches and
miscellaneous votes were cast, and up
to this writing we are not advised
who are the nominees. and whether
or not Johnny Schaal has got settled
or whether there will be another ballot
and more conventions and more
tramping on the grass, or what or
where or whyfore.

Antioch Circuit S. S. Association
held at Carpenters Grove, Aug 2Sth,

practical discourse.
Thanks are due all the speakers
for their able and successful efforts.

the choirs of Antioch, Union and
Millville.
Notwithstanding the tender
showers in the afternoon the Chill
drens Service was very interesting
and reflected much credit upon the
faithful work OF the children of the
several schools.
One of the objects of the Assocla-
ton is TO secure a better attendance
and more faithful work in the S. S.
and a deeper and more constant study
of the Word on the part of all church
members; and only when this pur-
pose is accomplished, will the fond-
est hopes Of the Association be real

An anonymous letter appearing in
the Summit County Republican claim
ing that the Ohio State University has
been practically closed to agriculture
and the mechanic arts, has been re.
piled to by Thomas +. Hunt. professor
of agriculture of the university, in the
following letter:
My attention has recently been
called to an article printed anony-
mously in your issue of May 2, regard
ing the Ohio State University. The
burden of this article is to the effect
that agriculture and the mechanic arts
occupied an inferior place in the cu-ri-
culum in this institution. AS head Of
the department of agriculture of the
university l would heartily applaud
any discussion which tends to increase
the etficiency of the depart rtment. but
such an article printed in your col
umns, will, if unrepudiated, do more
to prevent students from entering it
than the thousands of dollars which
the board of trustees expend annually
to provide for this instruction can do
to attract them. believing that you
would not wish to do injustice to
state institution in which every reader
of your paper IS interested, l wish to
be allowed to state 4 few facts in re-
gard to the Importance of agriculture
and the mechanic arts in this institu-
ton.
To begin with, the increase in the
number of students in the school OF
