THERE is also tradition in Ohio
that the State will go Democratic
every five years, and it is a matter Of
history that for twenty-five years the
State has always had one Democratic
senator. Allen G.. Thurman served
twelve years in the senate, George H.
Pendelton six years, Henry B. Payne
six years, and Calvin s. Brice has two
more years to serve. Allen, Hoadly
and Campbell were elected Governor
at five year intervals, and next year
will be the time for the election of an
2ther Democratic governor. 1t is
true that the Democratic outlook Is
not just now bright, but with Brice
for Senator and Sorg for Governor in
the campaign in earnest great fight
could be made next fall,-EG.

but the country. So far he has not
talked of any plan. He has not con-
sidered it necessary as long as ma
jority seemed determined to accept
nothing. Lately it has been observed
that extremists, differing with Sena-
tor Brice widely on financial ques-
tions, have expressed willingness to
sacrifice great deal of their belief in
order to reach some common ground.
1t is understood that the so-called
common ground" is not far distant
from that occupied by the Ohio Sena-
tor, who believes that business princi-
Piles and common sense should govern
all legislation. If the pressure on the
Treasury becomes so great that re-
medal legislation becomes impera-
tive, short session or no short session,
it is possible that many of the Sena-
tors who depended upon Senator
Brice in the tariff fight, will find that
common ground and with him work
to secure necessary laws for the
preservation of the Governments fl
nances.

ITmakes us smile to hear the Signal
talk about boiler plate in connection
with the NORTHWEST, when every
issue of the Signal contains about
from 25 to 80 columns of boiler plate.
And what is more, Bro. Russell can
not even select his boiler plate matter,
for it is edited away off in some dis
tant city, and the same matter is con-
tanned in almost every other paper in
Henry county, outside of the NORTH
WEST, as the NORTHWEST is the only
paper in the county which has the
enterprise and ability to print it's en-
tire paper at home. Bro. Russell
managesto get up four pages of his
paper every week, while the NORTH
WEST prints from eight to twelve
pages. That's the difference between
the two papers. Boiler plate, indeed.
In this, as in about everything else,
the Signal plays the deceiver.

THE committee appointed to ex-
anime the financial transactions of
the Commissioners of benighted
Wood county, find a damaging state
of affairs in conducting the business
of that big Republican county. The
building of the new court house in
Bowling Green has proven a regular
bonanza to the Republican officials
and bosses of Wood county, at the
expense of the tax payers. The Sig
nat will be as mum as an oyster re-
garding the rottenness in Wood
county, unless it breaks it's record.

THErecently published commission
er's report of Fulton county, which is
notareport that the law contenplates,
discloses the fact that the Republican
county commissioners of that county
have been in the habbit of having
orders drawn upon the county on the

may be nothing dishonest about this
practice, but it looks little loose and
suspicious, The Signal will have lit

comings Of the Republicans Of Fulton.

stood ready to tear each others eyes
out. While they are admiring each

ers and the amount of the road tax
with which each citizen is charged
and transmit the same to the clerk of
the proper township, who shall i'm
mediately after the receipt OF such list
make out and deliver to each super-
visor an abstract of the road tax each
person in his district is charged with.
| presume if any other work is done
in the way of improving the township
roads by persons other than taxpay-
ers for the purpose of working out
their tax that such work should be
let by contract by the trustees, and
1t should be performed under the di-
rection of the supervisors.
Under the law creating townships
in certain counties single districts, the
persons having the supervision of
such roads are designated as pike
superlntendents, and unless a super
intendent has been heretofore elected,
the county auditors required to noti-
fy the township clerks that the cleo
ton of a township pike superintend-
ent Is necessary; the clerk upon re-
celpt OF such notice must immediate
ly notify the trustees, who at the first
annual meeting in March, next, order
the election of one pike superintend-
ent at the annual spring election, to
serve for one year. If the trustees of
the township, however, fail to give
notice of the election of superintend-
ent as above provided, then the audi
tor must Immediately give notice to
the clerk of each township, in which
any such improved road is located
that the trustees are required to take
charge and control of the same: the
clerk upon receipt of the notice from
the auditor should notify the trustees
OF such fact; the trustees must then
divide the road into sections of not
less than one half mile each, and keep
them in good condition and repair
under the direction of the road super
visors or such other persons as the
trustees may appoint. The trustees
are required to provide the means by
setting aside so much from the com
mon road fund as may be necessary
for the purpose; If the tax levied by
the township and the road labor
were applied are insufficient the
county commissioners may levy an
additional tax upon all the taxable
property of the county, or the town
ship alone. Persons charged with
road taxes, under this law, as under
the law relating to township roads
proper, may discharge SO much of the
same as is represented by the town
ship levy by labor, for which they
are entitled to a receipt from the su-
pervisor. Where the work is preform-
ed under the direction of a pike
superintendent, instead of supervis-
ors under the direction of the trustees,
the duties of the superintendent are
practically the same as that of the
supervisors, except that he makes re-
port and accounts to the county COM
missioners instead of the trustees.

THE low price of horses is attribut-
ed to an over production. The horse
is q noble animal, and mans most
useful auxiliary in the animal king
dom, but the price fuctuates very
much the same as on other and less
valuable commodities. Four hundred
horses were recently offered for sale
at Chicago for 81, 900, and no buyer
was found, They had been used on
the street car lines of the city and
were fit for farm work only. Good
work horses are selling in the west

The Democrnts Did It.
"Where were the Democrats" ask
the New York Tribune.

"Where were the Democratsg" asks
the New York Tribune.
At home.
On the day Of the election five
million voters most of them Demo
Gratis, remained at home and failed to
vote.
Mr.. Frederick C. Waite, of John
Hopkins University, and formerly a
statistican of the Census Bureau, has
been studying the returns with inte-
resting results. $40 show" says Mr..
Waite, ''that the Republican farmers
did not vote for Cleveland in 1899,
analyEed the election returns, town
by town throughout the rural districts
of New York, and discovered that the
rural vote for Cleveland was even less
in 1899 than in 1888 in every agricul-
tural county in the Empire State. In
Ohio it was just the same. Cleve-
lands votein 1892 wasless than in 1888
in the rural townships of all the agrl-
cultural counties. This year theRepub-
llcans have not cast as large a percen-
tage OF the full vote as in 1888 in a
single State" The conclusion is,
therefore, that the dissatisfied Repub-
licans in 1902 and the dissatisfied
Democrats last year refused to vote.
According to Mr.. Waite's figures,
the stay-at-home vote in New York
has increased from $4,000 in 1888 to
1856, 900 in 1892 and 425,OO last year;
in Pennsylvania, from 10000 in 1885
to 100000 in 1892, and to 4OO,0 last
year. 1t has increased in Ohio from
40, 900 in 1888 to 115, 900 in 1893, and tc
200,0 900 last year; in Michigan, from
20, 900 in 1888 to 105, 900 in 1892 and tt
240, 900 in 1893 and 1894. South Caro-
lima, when she had $4,000 less voters
; than at present cast 1873, 1921 votes fol
} Hayes and Tilden. The total vot,
, last year however, is not much owe
g, go, 900, or about one-fourth of the full
; vote.
1t is the stay-at-home party, Mr.
Waite shows, which has made sucI
phenomenal gains. "The immens,
Republican pluralities last year wer,
not the result of an extraordinary Re
publican vote, but of an exceedingl,
small Democratic vote. Wisconsin
has not polled for the Democra
, candidates such small percentage
of her full vote fort twenty-five years
In Pennsylvania the Democrati,
party has not cast on an important
election such small vote for half {
century. The astonishing features O
the recent election are the same a.
those of 1899, when 100000 Republi
can farmers stayed at home, Will,
their Populist brethren cast 1,042, So
votes on the strength of visionary
promises. Census and registration
statistics disclose the fact that las
year the stay-at-home vote numbered
about 5, 100, ,000."

THE country mouth-piece of the
Signal has taken up the cause of the
editor of that paper, and they both
no doubt will eat pap" from the
same spoon from this on, as two low
ing Republicans should. But since

complains because we do not parade
before the public some of the shady
transactions of the Signal editor, we
reluctantly comply and give few
which come to our mind on the spur
of the moment.
Russell has proved himself some
what of q rascal for twisting the
laws SO that he was enabled to grab
at least 20 per cent. more than he
ought to have taken from the tax
payers while he was auditor.

when he, as county auditor, went to
Columbus, or sent his man Friday,
and had the just taxes due from one
of the wealthiest citizens in the
county abated just because said citi
zen was an influential Republican
This transaction was worse than ras
cality, it was robbery
His rascality was most brazen wher
he charged outrageously for ditch re
cording- much more than the law al
lowed him and fully one-third more
than his successor charges for the
same work.
He was rascal of the lowest order
when he attempted to convict Elk
Auditor Evers of a crime of which h,
was innocent, and which the court,
so decided.
An immitigable rascal when b,
euchered a soldiers widow, or tn,
daughter of a soldiers widow, out O

fifths of the patrons of the Office tina
she should have it.
And none other than a rascal woult
have treated his deputy as he die

throwing the blame upon my clerk.

Secretary of State Taylor has sent
out a letter for the guidance of voters
in the election of road officials. Mr..
Taylor says:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 2S, 1894.
Hon, Allen Jones, Kinsman, Trumbull
County, o.:
DEAR SIR-It is rather a difficult
undertaking to determine just where
the township trustees and other Off
GERS who have duties to perform in
the repair of roads ''are att since the
repeal of the provisions of the statute
relating to two days labor upon the
public highways. The law creating
township single district is in no way
connected, however, with the provi-
sions relating to the two days labor
laws which were repealed, as that
section (4S89 has reference to the re-
pair of improved or macadamized and
graveled roads which have been ap-
propriated or accepted by the COM
missioners of the county as free roads
So far as the laws relating to these
roads are concerned there have been
no changes except an amendment in
cluding other counties within its pro-
visions, which were repealed relate
mainly to the compulsory working OF
roads by citizens of the several road
districts. The power of the supervis-
ors to call out persons to work the
roads and the obligation of the resi-
dents in such road districts to perform
such a labor has been repealed. The
power of the township trustees to levy
taxes for road purposes has not been
repealed. The power of the township
trustees to levy taxes for road pur-
poses has not been changed or affect
ed in any way, and the duties OF such
officers and supervisors are practical.
ly the same as heretofore. 1t would
seem by the provisions of section 473S,
which is still in force, that when the
trustees at their annual session have
determined the amount to be assessed
for road purposes in their respective
townships, that the county auditor
must give notice in some newspaper
of general circulation in the county
of the percentum on each 3100 of val
uation so determined to be assessed
in such township, and that the taA
may be discharged by labor on the
road under the direction of the super
visors of the several districts, and the
auditor of the county is required tc
make list of the names OF taxpay
