THE Democrats of Mexico and Au-
drain County should arrange to con-
tribute toward both the State and ma
tional campaign funds. The National
Democratic Committee will have to
secure its money for campaign ex-
penses from men of small means and
unless the Democrats in States like
Missouri come up literally the fund
will be very meagre. Democrats in
Mexico should act promptly in this
matter, as money is needed to furnish
campaign literature. Capt.J. Chuck
ner and J. HI. Lane have charge of the
State fund, while E. E. Jones and w.
W. Harper are looking after the Ma
tional fund. This is the same one the
LEDGER is publishing list of subscrip-
tions for.

Vol. XXXVIII.

A MOVEMENT is on foot to improve
the road just north of Mexico and
south of the Governor Hardin estate.
This road is almost impossible
throughout large portion of the
year. Mr.. Charles Hill figures that
with an expenditure of two or three
hundred dollars the road can be per-
manently improved SO that it will be
in good condition all the time. The
citizens and business men of Mexico
should contribute literally toward this
fund. A large trade comes to Mexico
from the north and we are all inter-
ested in having the roads leading into
Mexico in as good condition as possi-
BILE. Amy business man desiring to
contribute toward this fund should
see Mr.. Charles Hill and make dona-
ton. The road is to be permanently
fixed this time.

T. A. Whitten, sound money
Democrat, attempted to address the
people at Jones' picnic, north Of here

pearance was greeted with Kisses, and
it required the utmost efforts OF the
committee to keep the people quiet.

such storm of indignation and angry
protests, and Written skunk from the

Secretaries of the Interior.

1t is interesting to note that the Sc
lection of David R. Francis, as the
successor of Secretary Hoke Smith,
makes him the third Missouri man to
be placed at the head of the Interior
Department during the period of less
than half century since its establish
ment. Only one other state, Ohio,
shows like hold upon it.
The first Secretary, Thomas Ewing,
appointed under Taylor in 1s4s, was an
Ohio man, but on Taylor's death Fill
more chose a new cabinet and, during
the year 1850, had no fewer than three
Secretaries of Interior, Pearce, OF
Maryland, McKeron, of Pennsylvania,
and A. Ell. HI. Stuart, of Virginia, the
last named holding on through his
term. Thus the new department had
a singular start, with four different
heads in less than two years.
Pierce's Secretary of the Interior
was McClelland, of Michigan, and
Buchanan's was Jacob Thompson, of
Mississippi. Lincoln had Caleb B.
Smith and John P. Usher, both of In
diana, and Johnson replaced the lat
ter with Harlan, of Iowa, and ultimate
ly with o. II. Browning, of Illinois.
Grant had two Ohio men In his first
term, Gen. Cox and Columbus Delano,
while Zach. Chandler succeeded the
latter in 1875. Hayes Secretary of
the Interior was Carl Schurz, ,appoint-
ed from Missouri; Garfield's was Kirk
wood, of Iowa, and Arthur's was Tel
Ter, of Colorado. Cieveland's first
term brought forward L. Q. @. Lamar,
of Mississippi, and Villas, ofWisconsin.
Harrison had Missouri man, Noble.
Cleveland's discovery of Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, and his present substitu-
ton of Governor Francis complete
the list.
1t is rather noteworthy that, besides
the three appointments each from
Missouri and Ohio, there have been
two each from Michigan, Mississippi,
Iowa and Indiana, these half dozen
states having furnished the incum-
bent for all but few years. But since
1850 it has been the uniform custom
that the Secretary of the Interior
shall be an inland man, just as the
Secretary of the Navy has always
been from a seaboard state, save in
the cases of the famous Indiana mari
ner, Richard w. Thompson, and of the
West Virginian, Goff, both appointed
by Hayes.

and particularly they complain of
its position upon the financial ques-
ton. And that makes me wonder
if the Democratic party of the olden
time did not believe in gold and sill
yer as the rightful and constitutional
money of the land. And if so if it
is undemocratic to get back to the
old land marks on the money ques-
ton. Some of them seem to argue
like the making of money out of sill
yer was an untried experiment and
that it would be like launching out
upon an unknown sea without chart
or compass.
Allow me to say that the Demo-
cratic party could have done nothing
that would have so belied its name
if it had refused to cut loose from
the Cleveland dictatorship and take
that bold and patriotic stand on the
money question in the interest of
the great masses of the people.
1t was like a new Declaration of
Independence from the goldocracy
of Wall street, with their monopolies
and trusts, and a demand that the
Legislation from this time forward
shall be in the interest of the people
and the whole people.
This is pre-eminently the year for
the citizen to vote for principle re-
gardless of party. A great quadren-
nial battle of ballots is on, involving
the welfare and prosperity of mil
lions and it behooves all those en-
trusted with the ballot to vote upon
the issues of the present campaign
with an enlightened judgment and
intelligent discrimination.
But must close an epistle too long
already by saying that Republicans
of California are cutting loose from
the Republican party by the hun
dreds on the money question and
that you may confidently look for
this state to stand high on the roll
of states whose majorities will be
for Bryan and silver. IRA HALL.

IT is the private opinion of the Mex
leo LEDGER, publicly expressed, that
the twaddle of Mrs. Lease will do the
Democratic party more harm than,it
will good. Mrs. Lease, like some other
politicians, is out for the high dollar.
1t is just as easy for her to talk for
soap as it is for sugar, provided she
gets paid for it. She would be better
appreciated by a great many Demo-
