THE Republican papers and their
allies who fight for the Republican
party under the guise of independ-
ence, are greatly concerned about
the position of Senator Brice and
his intentions in the present
emergency in the Democratic party.
1t is a matter that should not dis
.u.b them, as Mr.. l'rice is a Dem
ocrat who always stands by his party
and exerts his whole influence in
favor of sound Democracy and
harmony. He never consorts with
the cae!nies of Democracy and ale
ways submits TO tn. will of the maj
ority OF ;ae party when properly ex-
pressed. No Republican or social
ed independent will ever receive aid
or comfort from him. He vii! do all
in his power to keep his party in
line With bis party III line with its
past history and in harmony with the
teachings Of such Democratic fathers
as Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Ben
Ton and 1'lden.

The Weather.

As matter for those who come af-
ter us, and are interested in phenom-
ena of past age, we will note that
the weather of May, and thus far in
June has been phenomenal for rain.
1t rained every day in May, that is
in every "a recurring hours, it
rained. In June thus far it has
raIned every day, sometimes three
and four times day. In the coun-
ties and neighborhoods twenty and
thirty miles from us, disastrous floods
haye occurred. In our valley, nor in
Hooking county, as far as heard from,
the rains have not been foods, nor
productive of any considerable dam
age to the crops or plowed fields.

Views on the Silver
Question.

NEW YORK, June 9th.-Former
Governor James E. Campbell, Of
Ohio, spent several hours yesterday
in Wall street with Colonel Gurley
of his state. When he returned to
the Metropole late in the afternoon
he expressed himself in favor of free
silver, but with a restriction, to
which he said even Wall street
would not seriously object.
"The leaders of the silver move
ment in the Democratic party are
conservative and will work earnest
ly to prevent any such catastrophe.
The idea | would like to see adopt
ed is this: Declare for free silver.
Demand that the government at
Washington, through the president
and congress, issue call
TO THE COMMERCE NATIONS
of both hemispheres to meet in con-
ference with us at Washington for
the one purpose specified in the call,
of devising a method of putting sill
yer on a par with gold as money OF
the world. The conference oc-
curing, we would agree with such
nations as we could offer special
tariff favors on the reciprocity
principle. To such as did not we
could turn tariff cold shoulder.
"We are every nations best
customer, all would at last be made
to agree. Should none agree with
us, l would have this nation.
DECLARE FOR FREE SILVER
in its sole responsibility and fix a
date, as for instance, January LIST,

open time of two years IN which
trade would adjust itself to the new
conditions.
"All conferences so far have been
merely child's play. This one
would be different.

now are on the verge of adopting
silver. They need only slight
incentive to push them over the
line. With France, Germany and
America in the field. England
would be obliged to come in. We
could make things so warm for her
by tariff and reciprocity treaties
that she would accede to the terms
adopted. When this country is in
earnest England yields every time.
That has been repeatedly shown.

JUDGE O. w. H. WRIGHT.

The vote of the Democracy on last
Saturday on the Judicial issue, is a
high compliment to Oliver Wright,
and an expression of confidence in
which any man has good reason to
feel proud.
Oliver Wright was the preferred
candidate at the primary. He is now
the unanimous choice of the Democ-
racy of Hooking county.
lie will be the nominee of the
forthcoming judicial convention for
the short term, filling the vacancy
occasioned by the death of the Ia
men,el Huffman, and he will be
elected as the Democratic successor.
Oliver Wright is comparatively a
young man, but is as old IN years
and as long in practice as were his
distinguished and eminent predeces-
sors, Wright, Friesner and Huffman,
when they first went upon the bench.
He is genial, courteous gentleman,
a man of even temper and clear judg-
ment, and lawyer of as excellent
standing as any man Of his age in the
district or at the Bar 1.-The state for
that matter.
He is Democrat. There never
has been campaign in Hooking
since he became of age, in which he
has moi taken an active and an eff
cient part. He comes when called,
goes when sent, and whether on the
rising tide of certain victory, or in
the gloom of ofapprehended defeat, he
was always cheerful in service, and
give the enemy the best ficks he had.
AS man and gentleman, as law
yer of ability, as a Democrat doing
duty, he has fairly earned the honor
which the convention next Thursday
will unanimously bestow upon him.

As matter of political justice,
Nose Siramn should have been ap-
pointed night policeman. He was a
candidate for street commissioner,
and the only man on the ticket de-
feated. He was not defeated because
he was undeserving either as a Re-
publican nor as citizen, but because
. no body could defeat Nathan Nixon
for that place. 1t is political justice
to take care of the honorable defeat
ed. The old Romans crowned their
defeated generals with laurels, nursed
their wounded and gave them higl,
places, and she became the mistress
of the world. The Carthagenians,
cast their wounded to the yultures,
as she was swept from the face of
the earth. The Republicans in
management of Logan affairs are
Carthagenius.

THERE will be no boiling among
Democrats from the platform nor the
candidates of the Democratic Nat
ional Convention. No single issue,
current question of the hour, can af
feet the ranks of the disciples of
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jack
son in this or any future campaign.
The old timers, the stalwarts, the men
who bear the brunt of the fight in
every battle, may not always like the
platform nor the candidate, but they
don't secede, they don't desert. The
men of to-day who stood the war
record of Vallandingham, the mill
tary despotism of Nc Clellan, the
abolitionism of Greely, the green
backery of Pendleton, the gold hobby
of Seymour, the high tariff of Ran
dial and the free trade of Cleveland,
and who still stood by the Democratic
party because it is greater than any
man or any siugle issue are not going
TO bolt in this campaign, no matter
what some of the planks may declare
nor who the candidates are that
stand upon them. The Democracy
will stand together this campaign,
and doing so we will win this elec-
ton.

THE CHANCES FAVOR
EQUAL COINAGE.
Opportunity for Democrats
to Elect a President
Presents Itself.

Col. W. A. Taylor, the veteran
democratic journalist and leader of
:he Free Silver forces in Ohio, in
his paper, The Call, gives the follow
ing figures in argument which com
mand the attention of the intelligence
of the country:
The marked change in public
opinion on the financial question
within the past month has already
inspired with hope those who have
been hopeless of Democratic success
for two years and could see nothing
cheerful in the future.
But now that they see the people
becoming universally and earnestly
aroused on the one great burning
question of self-preservatlon, the bow
of promise once more becomes visible.
Assuming that the presidential bat
tie is to be fought on the square is
sue of the single gold standard versus
the free coinage of gold and silver at
16 to l, and that the St. Louis candi-
data is committed to the former and
the Chicago candidate to the latter, is
there a possibility of electing the
Democratic candidate?
This question, in various forms. is
being constantly propounded. Ev-
cry man of ordinary intelligence con-
cedes that with both OF the Republi-
can and Democratic candidates run
ming on single standard platform
the latter will be hopelessly beaten
from the start.
But with the issue properly Joined,
there is not only reasonable possi-
bility, but strong probability that
the Democratic candidate would win.
OF course. he would not be expected
to carry New York but New York's
vote was not necessary 10 the election
of Cleveland in 1892. A Democrat
can be elected in 1896 without it.
There are certain states which may
be set down in advance as certain to
support, with their electoral votes,
one proposition or the other.
For the gold standard candidate
may be set down the electoral votes
of the follnUinn states.

THE t.Louis convention will not
dare declare in favor of the single
gold standard. Loud professions are
made that it will do SO. II it does and
Mckinley is nominated, our victory
is certain. With that issue, single
gold standard and high protection,
and Mckinley can not carry Ohio.
If the convention straddles the money
question then also is Mckinley
doomed Boys, we have got them
up tree. Salt nor Sands, not even
Yerges can save them from the fall.

WECAN DEFEAT TGROSVENOR
The Duty Of the Convention
to-day.

The congressional convention in
Athens to day has before 1t a great
opportunity to secure a marvellous
Democratic victory. The district
boasts Republican majority of 5000.
This is accidental, abnormal. The
real majority, as shown on straight
vote at congressional election was
less than 1000. Since then, convul-
sions have shaken the Grosvenor toll
lowing, and he holds no control of
the majority party in his district.
1t was conspired to defeat him for
his recent denomination, and but for
fear of the Mckinley power hereafter
as president, the Foraker element
which is largely predominant in the
district, would have turned him
down. This is free silver district.
1t has the largest mining vote of any
district in Ohio; the miners here totore
supported Grosvenor. They are all
for free silver, Republicans as intense
as Democrats.
At meeting Of the Athens Central
Committee, a resolution was offered
declaring the Republicans of Athens
county in favor of free silver, and
but for the personal appeal Of Gen.
Grosvenor's friends would have been
adopted. AS it was, the resolution
was lost by four votes.
1t is great opportunity for our
convention to-day.
Grosvenor will come before the
people on a single gold standard plat
form. There are not less than 500
Republicans in this county who will
not endorse that doctrine nor support
the candidate who does. There is
not a single Democrat in the district
who will not support Grosvenor on
that platform, or any other for that
matter.
If the convention to-day gives us
live, energetic, Free Silver Democrat
for our candidate, we can defeat
Grosvenor, and redeem this county
and this district from the gra sping
clutch of the Republican party and
the money sharks who control it.

The principles, the honor, the
integrity and the perpetuity of the
Democratic party are of more inn
portance than any single issue. Its
conservative teachings on all con-
stitutioaal questions must be
adhered to. When they are aban.
doned the party will driftlike ship
at sea without rudder. The Dem
ocratic party has always been gov,
erned in its actions by the letter and
spirit of the Constitution, while its
political opponents have always
been ruled by what seemed expedi-
ent.
