Like Sarah OF old Catherine Johnson was
in a state OF exuberation and fond an,1ci-
patton when her first born appeared IN this
mundane sphere to give the local census
takers a little extra work. But in the en-
suing wears these emotions have suffered
grievous shocks owing to the fact that up

the fact that James White AMI Thomas
O'Uara appeared before Judge Mill'r tins
morning to answer to the chsrg. OF beg

Gus weapons upon their several persons.
White and O'Hara both come from the
island Indicated by the last men :

years have been traversing the ireat
Lakes before the Inasts OF miscellaneous
schooDers. The lakes are now closed TO
general traffic, and the men came to THIS
city en- route to Baltimore to seek employ
ment on a vessel outbound from that city.
They were seen begging ON q street yes

The further charge OF carrying concealed
weapons was preferred against White, but
be proved to the satisfaction OF the court
that the weapon in question: razor was
with him TO facilitate the weekly clear

were given three hours to leave town.

A correspondent, writing from WOos-
.er. o., gives many Illustrations Of the
spread of the free coinage sentiment in
Ohio. lie states the fact to which we
have heretofore alluded. tina, in that
Congressional disric,-the Seventeenth
-.he Republican candidate for Con-
gress. Addison s. Mcclure, who is a
member Of The present House, elected
in 1894 by LOCO majority. repudia,es the
action of the ST. Louis convention anu
refuses 20 stand with Mckinley on the
gold platform. He is quoted as follows:
1 shall under no circumstances vote to

standard money of the American people.
AS Captain Mcclure is running in The
to the adjacent district to the county CT
lIcK.uIey's residence. this is something
Of a blow. and we are not surprised to
learn efforts are being made by the Nc
k.uleyi,5s to force him TO resign his
candidacy. The district is composed OF
The counties of Wayne, COshOc,On,
Holmes, Licking and Tuscarawas. Our
correspondent says all the Democrats
OF The district, which is purely agricUl-
.ural. and ,wo-.hirds OF the Republicans
are for free coinage This is The tale
that comes from many other parts Of
the State. The local newspapers over
there are full Of accounts of Republicans
leaving their party On the coinage issue.
All of which indicates that Ohio is an
extremely doubtful Safe this year with
q strong tendency to stampede to free
coinage.

VIII Push the Campaign/Lu5e a Success
full Enterprise.
Armour is in theHarness.
He VIII Initiate an Extensive Plan Of
Education.

Sound Lectures for WorkinCmen.
Here's richness! Imagine, if YOU can,
the American workingmen going to
school to Hanna and Armour to learn
what is hes, for them and how to get
good wages. VIVA. gentle and sympa-
the;ic teachers Of labor these gentlemen
have been in the past! And how i'm
mensely popular among worllngmen
are Hanna and Armour!
It appears from what we can gather
that they are going to form an organi-
za.ion Of business men-an organization
of Republican business men, which shall
arrange for pay day lectures 10 their
empiyes. and the printing Of sound
money and protection texts and notices
on their pay envelopes" The brilliant
success which attended this pay envel-
ope plan Of instruction in the campaign
of 1892 has naturally commended it for
repetition. Perhaps Nr. Armour and
Mr.. Hanna may print on their enyel-
opes brief reminders of the various
strikes in which the Mckinley manager
has convinced his workmen tina, his
orders are not to be riAed with Il is
no, likely, however that they Will fnG
room for General Master Workman
Soyereign's remarks about Hanna, the
industrial cannibal," or for the findings
Of the Senatorial committee that inves-
tiga,ed Mr.. Armour's Dressed Beef
Trust.
OF course, we are told that these lee
lures are for the sole benef, of labor so
that labor may know how to vote to
keep its wages up.
Now every intelligent workingman,
who has any knowledge of the charac-
ters and methods Of M7ssrs. Hanna and
Armour know full well that these gen.
tlemen would be the las, TO oppose the
free coinage Of silver if they honesty
believed it would reduce wages. In
nine times out of ten workingmen will
find themselves on the safe side by cop
pering" the political advice Of such men
as Hanna and Armour.

conceded even by the opponents Of free

his wages inadequate 70 the expense Of

speedily find other employment, or by
threat of so doing compel raise"
There VIII perhaps be a diminu,ioa in
the size of dividends paid on watered

who operate them VIII no, be under

rHE TICKET.

The State convention did its work
promptly and harmoniously and with
remarkably Little friction. The ticket
ii placed in the field is a splendid one
from top TO bottom.
Gen c. c. Watts, of Kanawha. IS
The splendid, brainy, aggressive head.
His parry knows Gen. Watts; the people
irrespective of party know him and the
Register could add nothing to his popu-
larty a, this time. He is lis party's
chosen leader in this great campaign
and he is in every way worthy OF the
honor. He believes in his party and its
principles and his party believes in him
and in his ability, honor integrity and
thorough Democracy. Gen. Watts will
grace the executive chair at Charles
ton.
While we sincerely regret that State
Treasurer Rowan will be compelled to
resign his office yet we may console our
selves with the reflection that he will
have a worthy successor in Hon. J. W.
Tucker. Of Writ. Col Rowan has proved
a faithful. conscientious, able official and
his hosts of friends will regret that ho
was moi reaomina,ed. This is but nat
ural although we can guarantee that
Nr. Tucker will prove himself equally
capable and faithful.
The popularity OF Hon. W. H. Boggs,
Of Pendla;on, who captured the nominal
ton for Auditor. was fully a,tes,ed by
The strong following which suck to him
through thick and thin and compassed
his nomination. Mr. Boggs IS a sterling
silver Democra, and he viii make an
excellent and capable official.
The convention made no mistake in
nom mating Hon. Virgil A. Lewis, of
Mason, State Superintendent Of Free
Schools. Mr.. Lewis is in every way
qualified to fill this important Office.
He has long been known as one Of the
leading educators Of the State and his
nomination IS en- excellent one.
We can sly nothing in praise Of Attor-
ney General T. S. Riley, who has been
r5noninated, that the facts and c.rcum-
s.ances OF his nomination have no, ex-
pressed more foreibly than words could
do. There was no opposition, or prsc-
ideally none. to Mr.. Riley, and he was
nominated by reclamation. He reached

a fair insight into the general sentiment
Of labor on free coinage question, and it
is plainly to be seen that if Hanna hopes

Hanna recognizes this eXigency, and he
