DEMOCRACY ALIVE.
GubernatOrial Preferences in This
Part of the State-W. A.
Lynch Named.


The democratic party of Ohio is neither
dead nor sleeping. Built upon the basic
rock Of sound principle, it can never be
overthrown.
Defeat does not dismay it nor misfor-
tune prevent its onward progress. The
successive overthrows of the last two years
had the effect of partly paralyzing its func-
tions as witness the tremendous stay-at-
home vote of last fall. But the evil
effects have died away and the giant is
once more arouesd,
During the last week the Cincinnati
Enquirer has been making systematic in
quiries into the condition Of the demo-
cracy throughout the state and found the
party of the people in happy frame Of
mind. The Enquirer correspondents all
over the state secured interviews on the
choice of democrats for gubernatorial
candidate, and the subjoined is the re-
suit particularly in this section:
STARK COUNTY.
Canton-Hon. johnson Sherrick: "I
hardly know whom to choose between
James K. Campbell and Virgil p. Kline,
of Cleveland. They are both excellent
men, and either one would be very ac-
ceptable."
Postmaster Monnot: My first choice
for gubernatorail nominee is James f..
Campbell
Ex-Justice Jacob II. Reigner, editor of
the Sunday Herald: "My preference is
ex- Governor James Il. Campbell" "
Hon. Edward S. Raft, late democratic
candidate for congress in this district,
said: EITHER Paul j. Sorg, John II.
Clark, of Youngstown or John j. Lentz,
Of Columbus, would please me-"
Homer Gard, editor Of the Evening
News, said 81 am for Paul j. Sorg.
He Is thoroughly capable business man
and working men could all support him,
as he carries an honorable membership
in the Cincinnati Molders' Union"
HOLMES COUNTY.
Millersburg-Hon. G. W. Sharp: ~
favor Cotton Allen, Mayor of Columbus,
or p. j. Sorg for governor. They seem to
be ON the medium line Of the silver ques.
tion. Extreme silver win not do, nor will
extreme gold" Chas d. Parkinson, city
treasurer: 81 am for Tom johnson foI
governor" James b. Leeper, auditor
81 am in favor of James E. Campbell foI
governor" r. W. Taneyhill, probate
Judge: 81 believe that Virgil p. Kline
would make an admirable and available
candidate or Governor. l.. q. Barton
county clerk: There is only one man in
Ohio who is solid on all questions, STATE
and national, that can lead the democracy
of the Buckeye state to victory and that
man is James e. Campbell" s. N
Schwartz, representing attorney: 81
have no particular choice for governor
but he should be man opposed to fre'
silver"
MAHONING COUNTY.
Youngstown--John II. Clark wrote ou
the following Senator Brice. He re
ceived the honors of the party in its pros
perity and would cheerfully no doubt
bear Its burdens fin adversely; besides, 4
will afford the senator an opprtunity
which every public servant should seek, o
trying his services by the touchstone o
popular approval. The Senator at leas
fayors a stable currency and that is mucl
after the folly of last year. "
Il. II. McNamara-'I II John II. Clarl
would run would give him as heart!
support as any man ! know Of In tn
state. j. II. Welch said; ''If Senate
Brlce is a candidate should be very en-
thusiastic In my support of him for COVER
nor. James E. Campbell, think, stand
the best chance Of the nomination, witt
Virgil p. Kline Of Cleveland, next.
WAYNE COUNTY.
