I'm Old Perry.

Hon. M. III Donohue, Of Perry
county, was in Columbus Thursday
and was asked by Press reporter
as to the chances of the Democratic
ticket in Perry county. Mr.. Dono-
hue had no hesitation in siying
that the county was sure TO 20 for
Bryan. 1t has ordinarily been
about $50 Republican, but large
part of this Republican vote is
being cut down, as many of the
men who have in the past been SUI G
in the Republican column are now
openly talking free silver. Then
the Populists polled last year about
$50 votes, and as they have been
given share of The county offices,
the larger part of this vote is as.
sured to the Democracy. Not less
than 700 of them will vote for Bryan,
while the county leaders expect
that every Populist will register
his vote on the right side.
The only difficulty down there is
the immense amount of money that
is being shoveled in by the Re-
publicans. Every Republican lead
or in the county seems to have
plenty of money and to be willing
to spend it for the party. Several
of the men who have been silver
men through life in politics have
rect ntly changed, and but one
cause can be assigned. One man
in particular talked free silver
Monday night, went home, and
woke up gold man. The fact
that he was visited in the mean
time by leaders in the opposition,
of course, has no bearing on this
fact. IN spite of the money that is
being used, and their means of
coercion that are being employed,
Mr.. Donohue believes that the
county is safe for Bryan. This is a
pretty straight tip, too, as Mr..
Donohue has made quite a reputa-
tiop through his political pro.
gnostications. He is a keen and
close observer, acquainted with all
the vagaries of politics, and man
who does not allow party prejudice
to blind his eyes.-C0lumbu Press.

Our Farmers.

The Republican Committee in
sending broad cast over this
county the speech OF Bourke Cock.
ran at Madison Square Garden in
reply to the speech of acceptance
of Hon. w. J. Bryan, delivered al
the same place.
This speech Is sent out by them
as Republican literature and we
must admit that II is good Repnb-
lican doctrine, as IL, as is usual
with them, advocates a discrim-
inatiOn against the farmer who
produces the necessaries of life.
We ask the farmer receiving this
speech to turn to page II; read the
following language:
"While wages remain at their
present rate ] hope there will be a
further and further continuance in
the decrease of the cost of living
There Is no way in which can be
admitted to share of Gods
bounty except through fall in
the price of the necessaries of life"
This is good Republican doctrine
and this will come about should
the Republicans be successful In
this campaign and single gold
standard be maintained. 1t seems
to us that the farmer is receiving
little enough for his productsat the
present time but should he wish a
further reduction let him vote for
the gold standard.-Athcns Jour.

Very Truthful.

The Journal now is coming down
to facts. 1t admits that the com
missioner's Office is good office
and pays 500 or 600 dollars year,
if it was not for livery hire, and
eating, and a little tobacco, and
clothes to wear, etc. Yes, if it
were not for these necessities of
life, we all would become rich, but
expenses of living are like death |;
must be met. What If commissi.
oner spends all of his salary to live,
move and have his being, that Is
what salary is for'and it comes
very handy to the fellow that gets

Jacoby hustling for the Office just
the same and holding his party in
line for himself and the whole
ticket. lie lisa representative man
of his party and will be the next

Angry At The Governor.
MassillOn Miners Return Ills Donation
TO Their Relief Fund.

MAssILLoN, o., June 9,-The
Masslllon Miners Relief Committee
have returned to Governor McKin-
ley the ten dollars contributed by
him at their solicitation. The re-
mittance was accompanied by the
following letter:
MAss1LLoN, o., June 8, '0l.
VIM. Mckinley, Governor of Ohio,
Columbus, o.:
SIR-Inclosed you will find $40,
your donation to the miners Of
Massillon. They emphatically re-
fuse to accept "mite" from the
hand that assisted in smiling them.
Your donation was solicited be-
cause the miners believed you was
at least in as much sympathy with
them as the ordinary every day
citizen, but since you have divest-
ed yourself of your covering, and
your true character stands out in
glowing colors, they abhor the con-
tamination of your charity. Your
ambition in political way, s. far
as the miners are concerned, is
sure tc be gratilied henceforth.
Yours truly,
JOHN WILHELM, President,
EDWARD MILLER, Treasurer,
JAMES Brown, Secretary.

Laborers Co-ercod.

The miners and laboreis at the
Hooking Valley mines are being
co-erct d into Joining the Mckinley
Club under fear of losing their jobs,
Some of the men who have been
most ardent supporters of Bryan,
and admired him for the manly
fight he was making for the toiling
masses of the people, have recently
been forced 10 array themselves
against their own interests and
come out for Mckinley, having
been told in so many words that II
they did not do so, they need not
be surprised If the company found
occasion to fill their places with
more willing serviles. One man
who was approached in this man
ner told them that If his job de-
pended upon his support of McKin-
ley they could put another man in
his place right away, as he was GO
ing to vote as he thought best.
And this from the party that is all
the time bowling about anarchists.
If there is any one thing more
to society and the very
government itself than red-mouth-
ed anarchy that very thing is the
using of force to compel men to
vote against their own convictions;
and the attempt to do such work
should prove boomerang that
would rebound upon the heads of
those who attempt it.-Nelsonville

Honest StiTey.-

Up in the shops of the @. II. V. &
T, Ry at Columbus, they do not be-
llevc in organizing political clubs
and intimidating the workmen in
to voting for some one they do not
want, or on issues that will work to
the detriment of their interests,
Several days ago an enthusiastic
Republican attempted to organize
railway mems sound money club
when the master mechanic, s. s.
Stihey appeared on the scene and
forbade the organization on the
ground that he wanted no politics
in tbs shops, but that every en-
ploye was free to vote and think as
he pleased and belong TO any or
'ganization he wanted to up town.
We don't know what the politics of
our good friend s. s. Stiffey is but
we do know that be Is a man Of
unblemlshed honor and an advisor
of human liberty.

The rock ribbed Democracy OF
old Hooking is recognized every

son of EX-Auditor Nelson. Arm

Aroused From His sIumber.

BosToN, Sept. 2s.--Mr. Bryan and his
escort had taste of the hardships
of campaigning. Having left Bath,
Me-, at midnight, where there was
o scramble for sleepers, the party was
aroused from much needed sleep at
a. m, when Lynn, Mass, was reached.
The candidate was billed for q speech
at this place and at Newburyport por-
ton of the Democratic city committee
boarded the train to receive MIR. Bryan,
and at the Lynn station the other mem
bers were in waiting. The committee
had provided carriages and the party
was driven to the Hotel Seymour, where
reception held.
Mr.. Sewall were escorted to Highland
Square, where the stand had been
erected. Hero Mr.. Bryan delivered u
brief address At go the party caught
tho train for Boston, arriving at the
Boston main station about 30 minutes
later. where they were met by several
hundred enthusiastic admirers. A quick
trip across the city in carriages was
necessary in order to make connections
with the colonial express, which left the
Providence depot at (! O'Clock.
Mr.. Bryan's departure from Boston
was noticeable only for the enthusiasm
evinced by the 1,500 people who saw
him aboard the Colonial express at tho
Providence depot. He made no speech
and simply stood upon tho platform Of
his car and smiled goodby to his yell
ing admirers. Cheer after cheer greeted
tho party. on arrival at the depot, 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
the party forced their way through the
crowd.
So intent were the people to see Mr..
Bryan that the vice presidential candi-
date was entirely overlooked, until ho,
with more of the committee, forced
their way to tho car and mounted the
platform. Then he was recognized and
given three cheers. He doffed his hat
and smiled before entering the car. AS
the train moved away Mr.. Bryan ap-
peared on the platform and smiled q

An Aflleninn,s Rnnting.

A Boston paper says that Gen. c.
II. Grosvenor created q sensation
at Augusta, Me-, by saying that he
believed that Mr.. Bryan was a
revolutionist and as wicked but
less courageous, than jeff Davis in
1861. This movement, he said,
that has been started by Tillnan
and Altgeld means war. The ac-
count continues: "The speaker re-
marked that he was aware that
this was strong language, and
which for the first time he had ut
tered, but he believed that an in
surrcctionary movement was in
progress, that the wedge of re-
bellion had been entered and that
the communistic elements were
very active. While Mr.. Bryan
may not be an Anarchist, it was
true that every Anarchist in the
country would vote for him."
Grosvenor probably has not
heard of Most, the most prominent
Anarchist in the United States,
declaring for Mckinley, but the
fiery Athenian surely has not for
gotten that he supported n esolu-.
tion adopted by the Ohio house
while he was speaker favoring the
free coinage Of silver. lie may
content himself with the thought
that his Maine audiences have not
heard of his Ohio record, but any
intelligent voter, even in the wilds
OF Maine, will recognize such talk
as balderdash.- Plain

o My, Anything Except.

The correspondent of the Nelson
vile Buckeye at Buchtel says,
"Please inform us what the price
of salt was when the first hut WIS
built on the Hooking river; for
Gods sake let us have something
to talk about except gold bug, sill
yer bug; give us protection" 1t is
evident that the writer is an apostle
of Major Mckinley, and when he
gets skinned alive by sound argu-
ments, he wants to change the
subject on some absurdity like the
price OF salt or protection. He is
probably the last one left In the
god ranks in that thriving village
and prays for change of subject.

A Sure Thing.

In 1896 the Republican vote in
Hooking county was 2400, the
largest Republican vote every cast
in this county. The Democratic
vote was 23OG, the Populist vote
53l and the Prohibition vote 05.
The Democrats and Populists will
vote the same ticket this year, be-
cause of the principles of platform
being the same, and because the
same ticket is endorsed from top to
bSstom by these two parties. To
the 230G we will add the Populist
vote which makes 29i0 votes. The
Prohibitionists have out no county
ticket and we can divide them
equally between the old parties,
which does not change the majority
of $50 in favor of the Democratic
Populist ticket. But cur Republic
an brothers say we will loose some
Democratic and Populist votes, we
reply that for every one they can
point out to US that will not vote
his ticket, we can point out two
Republicans that will vote for
silver. So it is that the Demo-
cratic-populist ticket in this county
is sure winner. 1t cannot be
beaten. They are all excellent
men and will not loose a vote on
personality, but will gain many
from personal friends in opposite
parties.
