/ Let all free silver men get to-
gethef and they will win the cleo
tion this year with hands down.
Hon. N. q. Prickett, of Ravens
wood, is the Democratic nominee
for Judge of the Sixth judicial
Circuit.
Bryan is speaking day and night.
Never were people more anxious
to hear a candidate than they are
to hear him.
The people are studying the fl
nanoial question, and free silver
will be great winner thereby, in
our opinion.
Mckinley hasn't improved with
age. He is now in his fifty-third
year, and is still "monkeying" with
silver. He is still young.
Judge David p. johnson has
been nominated by the Democrats
of the Third Congressional Dis

Nounprejudiced farmer or labor
er can afford to vote for gold stand
ard, for it means mortgaged or
sold out farm at force sale, lean
dinner and patched clothes.
Farmers, be sure to get ON the
free silver boat and help raise the
price of your farms and farm pro-
ducts. Now is the time for you to
strike blow for your homes.

DIR. Garrett, of Wayne county,

county, chairman of the Republi-

this district, has resigned and Hon.
G. b. Gibbons, of Parkersburg,
has been selected to fill the vancan-

Ex-Governor e. w. Wilson has
been nominated for Congress by
the Democracy of the Third Dis

twists themselves before he gets
through with them. We have no
doubt as to the Ex-Governor's cleo
ton.

choose, but it is a truth as old as

under the Constitution. This has
