Veteran Editor.

The old wheel horse of Vinton
county, A. Barleon, was visitor
In our sanctum an evening last
week. An interview with the old
gentleman, who has been an able
newspaper man for many years
and has learned to observe closely,
reveals the fact that the Hannaism
Of old VintOn Is not so serene. The
majority Of a few years since to
the tune Of 700 has gone glimering
and but meager 200 stands up as
the shadow OF a victory. We figur-
ed from the interview of the old
wheelhorse that since the Sleeper
contingent has come to Macarthur
town and Boutwell, usurped the
Record, that the old placid easy
Gliding Ia not there as of yOre. A
fflcti0n exists, which party lubric-
aiIng oil and rotten spoils but iri-
rates. The old veteran editor we
hope will be rendered the post
Office In his declining years for
services rendered.

GRosvENoR's PLURALIY.
Athens Journal
The editor of the Messenger In
the last issue of that paper devotes
considerable space trying to con-
vince its readers that General
Grosvenor will go back to Congress
with his old time plurality, and iu
his effort to deceive the people uses
the majority instead of plurality.
Every school boy knows that in
the State of Ohio the candidates
are elected by pluralities and not
majorities, and consequently this
effort to deceive was fiat failure. |
We do not desire to take one iota
from the credit due General Gros-
venor bu. we do think that the
truth should be published in these |
matters. In 1894 General Grosve.
nor had plurality in this district |
of 9130, while at the recent No
vember election, his plurality was
1883. In other words his plurality
was more than cut in two and that
after every effort was made by |
himself and his followers to hold II
up tolthe old figure. We do not
claim that this falling off was due
to the unpopularity Of Gen. Gros-
venor but more to the unpopularity
of the cause which he represented
and to the extreme popularity Of
his opponent, the Hon. w. E. Finck.
