The Ohio Democrats have had lucid
interval and put forward an editor for
President
Freedom of speech among Democrats
seems to consist mainly in swearing at
Cleveland.
Whitney mas emphatically put himself
out of the race, but Cleveland still hesi-
tates to decline.
There is no question but what New Jer-
sey will stand with Hobart. We can count
her in the Union.
Even New York Democrats have been
reading Coins Financial School, instead
of Wall-street bulletins.
With the average Democrat any hole in
the ground will do as hiding place from
the people who demand work and wages.
The existing money of the country is
good enough for the people. What they
ask foT is a chance to work and earn some
OF it.
Congress rebuKed Bayard, but as Oxford
has conferred on him the degree of D.C.L.
he perhaps feels that he has been vindi-
Gated.
The New York Democratic convention
nominated no electoral ticket, but it is not
certain whether this presages bolt or a fall
down.
Cleveland may issue another set of bonds
as campaign documents before election
day comes, and of course Wall street will
ratlfy it.
Corhett may maintain his claim to the
championship after this, but he cannot do
it by devoting his time to the elevation of
the stage.
Since the gold Democrats in New York
could not control even their State Conven-
ton, there will be very little use for them
at Chicago.
Day by day the gold reserve goes down
and day by day the people are given new
evidences of the folly Of this debt-making
administration.
By the time the municipal campaign
opens the people will be ready to make
firm stand for progressive economy and
economical progress.
Cleveland may take up the Cuban issue,
but it is by no means certain that he is
strong enough statesman to carry it to the
point the people wish.
If one may believe the Philadelphia
Record, the people OF that city take more
active and vigorous exercise in lodging
bicycles than in riding them.
When the factories and shops are run
ming and work and wages are abundant
there will soon be an end to the monetary
stringency and paralysis of trade.
aWe stand where we always have stood"
says Mckinley ''The tariff that we stand
for is a tariff that shall protect the homes
and the tiresides of America against all the
world"
It will be the policy of the free-traders
this year to make free trade masquerade
as free silver in order to steal march on
the people and savs their hobby from de-
struction.
The Liberals have won in Canada and
liberal parties viii win also in Mexico and
this country. This is going to be a big
year for liberalism and Americanism all
over the continent.
Democracy on any platform will be the
same old Democracy that overturned the
protective system, ruined all American in
dustry and deprived thousands OF people
of work and wages for three years.

A Bad Fire at 0Ssian.
w
~

Last Wednesday evening about eight
o'clock it was discovered that Mrs. DIR.
Pegg's house at Ossian was on fire.
The direct cause of the fire is unknown,
but it is supposed that DIR. Pegg, Jr.
was filling lighted lamp, which ex-
ploded and set fire to the building.
When the house was entered he was
found in the third room from where he
had been filling the lamp, in an uncon-
scious condition. He was taken to Mr..
Schoonmaker's and it was found that
his face and hands were badly burned,
and also some parts of his body. DIR.
Pegg is in very precarious condition.

Following this Rev. Douglass an
nounced that it was their desire to
raise sufficient money to pay the in
debtedness which remained on the
church so it might be dedicated free
from debt, and before the service closed
had raised $2,347, in subscriptions and
cash collections. This left debt Of
$1153 still remaining, but the congrega-
ton dispersed, feeling sure it would all
be raised at the evening service.
At the evening session the house was
