The copper market Is in a strong posi-
ton and the price OF the metal Is firmly
held at 11x@H cents for Lake with cleo.
trolytic and casting brands in proper
ton. Indeed. it is asserted, by persons
well qualified to Judge. that millions OF
pounds of Lake copper could be sold
today at liz cents and that manufac-
turers, who are now holding off for a
reaction, will soon be paying II cents
for their supplies and still higher figures
early in 1897. il the demand for the
metal for domestic consumption keeps
pace at all with the Improvement in gen.
eral business. The more optimistic pre-
diet copper famine before another hall
year has elapsed because the foreign de-
mand for copper IL enormous and all indi-
cations point to continuance OF this de-
mand. One very favorable feature OF the
copper marked is the fact that, during
the past two years of business depres-
sion and the consequent limited home
market, the production OF the metal has
not increased to any great extent and
there are no large stocks on hand to be
exhausted before consumers will come
into the market to fill their wants. Dur
ing the time oil the French syndicate, the |
high price of copper then ruling resulted
in the collection OF scrap copper. OF
which there proved to be sufficient

dissolution and failure of the syndicate,

would be Improbable to bring such
one horse clubs as Logan to their
city. After GAINESVILLE had defeated
the Colts four straight games and
then met defeat in Logan, the Lam
caster fellows began to change their
opinion OF the merits of our club.
Several of them came down to wit
ness Fridays game and went home
fully satisfied that the GAINESVILLE
game was scratch. Then the news
of Saturdays game reached them,
they again got nervous and some
even concede that the prospect of
beating US is to degree conjectural
at least. To beat the Colts on the r
own ground, before their friends and
hackers will be glory enough for
one day. And that IS exactly what
our boys propose to do.

The forthcoming Republican con-
vention is not our affair, not our mix,
but lie like a snake should be
scotched wherever it puts up its head.
& circular has been sent US, request
ing US to publish, stating that during
the great strike in the Hooking Val
ley, Will Larimer was a guard and
in association with the Pinkerton
gang, infesting the Valley at that
time. The SENTINEL was in that
strike. Because of the part we took
in denouncing the colonization of the
barbarian horde, and the employment
of the Pinkerton thugs to maintain
this industrial leprosy, we were ar
rested by United States Marshal
on the charge of creating riot. We
know who of our fellows that took
service as guards in those disturbed
times. Bill Larimer was not one of
them. We say this because we know
what we talk about, and it is only
fair to political enemy that lie on
him should be challenged. And we
challenge it. To anticipate what the
promulgator of the lie may possibly
say to this mention of fact, we state
that Mr., Larimer has not mentioned
this matter to us, and does not know
that the refntation of the circu|ar is
made until he reads it In the paper.

REMOVAL.

The SENTINEL has moved from its
long time occupied quarters in the
James Block, to commodious, light
and airy rooms iii the Wright Build

The change of rooms was required
to enable us to more properly equip
the office and to have the needed room
for the work increasing on MS.
In a week we will be settled, and
we invite our friends oe town and
country to call and see us.
The SENTINEL rooms will keep
open doors, and will give hearty well
come to all who honor US with a
visit.
Long time contemplated improve
ments on the paper will now bemade,
and the SENTINEL, in the 55th year
of Its age, will make campaign this
year that will distance any record
made in all the active years of the
past.

THE Cincinnati Tribune has given
up the ghost, has died, and its REM
nants are Incorporated with the old
Commercial. The Tribune was start
ed IN spite, and upon declared plat
form of breaking down the CONNER
c;al. After losing fight which cost
Glenn and his associates over half
million dollars, the spite paper dies.
1t was very lively, very dictatorial,
very intensely partisan. 1t assumed
leadership and had a great following
of the disgruntled. 1t was foremost
in every fad, was loudest on all pub

platform of spite on which it stood,

career, but it bursted and its follow
ers are out of money, and out in the

Blacker and Lowry captured the
prize. Each of the persons intro
duced were brought before the con-

NOTES.
The Hooking delegation was

their stay in the city.
Postmaster Peoples, Of Pomeroy,
modestly declined the nomination of
delegate, and was drafted into the
service as alternate.
John Mcnamara, of Vinton, was
in evidence at the convention.
The Columbus volunteer advisory
commission didn't seem to be needed
in managing the affairs of the con-

Mr.. MCKAY, county surveyor Is
not a candidate for reelection. He
has substituted his political Judus
in his stead, Eph Shaw is the candi-
date for Mckay. Shaw was formerly
a Democrat. He left the party, for
the reason he said, the Democrats
failed to elect him to office. He got
some taffy in his blubbering mood,
and then Mckay sugared him with
an appointment as his deputy. We
like Eph Shaw. He is pleasant,
agreeable gentleman, and may be a
good surveyor for all we know. but
he is political fraud. When man,
Democrat or Republican, leaves his
party because of the bribe of some
party favor, he is political Judas
and not entitled to any political cor
fdeuce and the honest, straight, for
ward men of principle in all parties,
soon drop them.

Our Candidate for Congress,
Hon. VIM. E. Finck, Jr.

The convention at Athens on las,
Thursday, showed by its selection
of VIM. f. Elnck, jr., of Somerset,
as candidate for congress, that wal
is on in the Hooking Valley, and
that the imperious Grosvenor who
has ruled this district with a hand OF
iron will be detbroned. The times
are ripe In political revolution, and
the working people of our industrial
Valley are looking to leadership
from one in sympathy with them in
their political views as well as ma
terial condition, and who in charac-
ter and ability is capable for the
trust.
Our candidate is the man for the
occasion. He is young, enthusiastic;
a natural born champion of the peo-
pie, brilliant as an orator, untirin9
as worker, Democratic in the
broad sense that he is the man of
the people and disciple of the
school of jefferson and the fathers of
the Republic.
Mr.. Fink is a public man in this,
that he is always a wil!inr and fore
most cnamplcn ON every OCCASION,
no matter whether it be the Fourth
Of July, a centennial celebration, q
school commencement, Democratic
campaign, or any movement looking
TO the betterment of /. is follow men.
He has never held Office, and clear
and clean from entangling alliances
with cliques and factions, he stands
unembarrassed and unprejudlced up
on local matters tina. may prevail in
the sections.
He has been a lawyer in the prac-
tice with his eminent father "Billy
Finck" Of our fathers day, and the
most distinguished congressman our
country and this district boasts, and
is in law and politics and personal
character the worthy son of a worthy
sire.
He is as good lawyer as Gen.
Grosvenor. he is more brilliant or
ator than the sneering Athenian, he
is poor in purse but rich in all the
treasures of well stored mind and
in politics, a Democrat in full accord
with the spirit of the age and the
demands of the time.
He will lead the silver forces in
our Valley, and the Goliah of Roths
child, the Phllistine from Wall
street, will meet the fate of the
braggart of old, and Israel will re-
joice when our young and gallant,
brave and defiant candidate puts his
heel on the prostate terror, and holds
his severed head to the dismay of
our opnressorS.

Vinton, Ross, Athens, Meigs and
Hooking, each of which contributed
complete delegations.
The business before the conven-
lion was opened by Virgil c. Lowry
of Logan, and Hon. Lawrence I.
Neal, of Chillcothe was enthusiastic
cally chosen to occupy the char
during the session. Messrs. W. J.
Reyerly. of Vinton, G. L. Martzo lff,
of Perry, and Hugh Gormly, of
Athens were selected as secretaries.
The chairmen of the various dele
cations appointed a committee on

II. Lappen, of Hooking; A. z. Nc
Donald, of Perry; Calvin D. Myers,
of Athens; H, G. Claypool, of Ross,
and w. j. Beverly, of Vinton. The
committee was out fer an half hour
and submitted the resolutions as fol-
lows, which were unanimously
adopted without single voice of
dissent:
"Resolved, That the Democrats
of the Eleventh district of Ohio, in
convention assembled, demand the
restoration of the coinage laws re-
pealed by the Sherman act of 1873,
and favor the free and equal coinage
of both gold and silver at ratio of
16 to l as the money of ultimate re-
demption, without discrimination by
the government, or the administra-
tive officers thereof, against either
coin or metal and without awaiting
the action of any other nation.
"Resolved, That the persons ap-
pearins before this convention for
the nomination as delegates to the
national Democratic convention be
required to pledge themselves before
the delegates assembled to be in
favor of the free and unlimited coin
oge of silver and to support the
cause to their fullest power"
DR.. Err. Lash, the efficient chair
man of the Athens county central
committee, received the Democratic
electorship amid the thunderous ap-
plause of every delegation.
The name of William E. Finck,
ir., of New Lexington was given
as a nominee for congress, and as
no others were presented, the motion
was made unanimous.
A good-natured contest occurred
in the race for the selection of gen
tlemen 20 the national convention.

Judge Johnston of Perry was an
interested spectator. 1t was an in
stance in which a person was witness
to the preliminaries Of his own fu-
neral.
Gen. Reeves as chairman Of con-
vention composed of solid men Of
large families, neglected great op-
portunitv in not presenting the ad-
vantages offered bv the Ash Cave
Populating Society to Democrats OF
large families.
Cci. Pursell of Lancaster and Lo-
gan was in the convention, but his
mind was in Europe, following the
aristocratic candidate of his party
who is hobnobbins with the kings
and potentates of the effite monarcheis,
while our Democratic candidates are
at home with the boys and rubbing
their clothes with the men who work
and sweat, The Gazettes report will
be appreciated in Europe.
W.E.Fink, ,jr.. democratic candidate
for congress was visitor in Logan on
last Monday, the guest of Mr.. Lewis
Green. He had some law business
to look after and continued his stay
ever Tuesday, and joined with his
fellow democrats in witnessing and
ratifying the proceedings of the con-
vention.
John NJ. Wright, "Jack Wright of
ours" favorite when a boy with Lo-
gan boys, and leader among men
in Fairfield attended the convention,
the handsomest man In that body of
healthy heroes.
The only jar in the convention was
in the organization. The committee
on permanent organization set aside
the temporary chairman and contin-
ued the temporary secretaries. The
Perry county secretary wouldn't
stand this crowding and refused to
attend the subsequent session of the
convention.
The School Board did very grace
full thing in passing to front seats all
the delegates to the convention who
came to the Commencement Hall.
Among the delegates were seven su-
perintendents of schools in our neigh
Dor counties, out on vacation, all
Democrats, and until ''skule keeps
all in politics.
