The UniontOwn Girl.

Fayette county is somewhat of a
community in good many ways. 1t
ranks first in the production of coke.
Its liquor, both red and moonshine,
has considerable reputation. The
Fayette county man prides himself ON
his ability to do the most good after
he has discarded and drawn. But the
browning glory of Fayette county is
not coke, nor liquor, nor jackpots. 1t
is sublimer creation--a handsome,
yiyacious and courageous maid. I'm
iontown men are not alone in
their ability to call bluff. The Union
town girl doesn't scare, either. When
a burglar entered Uniontown home
yesterday morning and awakened the
two women who dwelt there alone,
they didn't act as if mouse had
fiercely assaulted them. One of them
merely went over to the bureau draw
er and drew out gun. She was the
aggressive party thenceforth until the
burglar, pinked in two or three places
by the nervy girls lead, got himself
beyond the trocha.

She doesn't make much about herself,
for it is unnecessary. She comes Of a
good old stock, breathes the right
kind of mountain air, lives amid the
influences of independence, and is
brought up to assert herself as the
daughter of an American civilization.
She is not exclusive in her charms, or
her accomplishments, or her good
traits. She is an American girl, one
among millions of Others, a product of
freedom and human equality. AL

The Results In Ohio.

Recently all the principal towns in
Ohio held municipal elections. In
them all the party lines were sharply
drawn and it was mutually under
stood that their results would give a
very certain indication of how the
state would go next fall when a
Legislature is to be elected. As this
legislature is to chose a successor to
Senator Hanna this verdict was a
very momentous one.
In every town in the state the
Democrats either were victorious or
made large gains. Cleveland, Mark
Hanna's home, nearly went Demo
cratic, a gain of fully 10000. Gin
cinnati which gave Mckinley $4,000
went 1000 Democratic. Columbus
is the same way. Canton, the home
of the advance agent, forsook its
patron saint and entered the enemy's
camp. Springfield, Bushnelps town
went the same way.
In fact it seemed that to make a
sure thing for the Democrats it only
needed some big Republican to be a
resident of the town. The voters
did the rest. Among the Ohio towns
which joined the procession are,
Tifiin, Dayton, Akron, Hamilton,
Toronto, GAINESVILLE, Wooster, San
dusky and Portsmouth. The tidal
wave of last fall is receding with
the speed of lightning.

Isolated local elections are of little
value as Indicative of the political
drift, but become of Importance when
occurring in great numbers in widely
separated states. They all tell the
same story Of reaction against the
Republican party. A week or two age
the town elections in New York and
some parts of New England showed
great democratic gains. The elections
last week in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan
Illinois are even more decided. Large
Republican majorities in important
cities have been reversed or greatly re-
duced. 1t is admitted they indicate
an aggressive opposition, getting
into good form as to organization, and
equally weakening and falling off on
the Republican side.
This is not difficult to account for
A party new in administration always
loses when it comes to apportioning
the spoils Of victory. But there is a
more significant lesson in the recent
election. Republican pledges of the
great things the advance agent of
prosperity would do have turned out a
bitter mockery. Times are not i'm
proving with the great producing
class. Wages are on the down grade.
Products are falling in price. 1t is
clear the purchasing power of the peo-
pie is at its lowest ebb. z And all the
remedy the Mckinley administration
and the Republican party has to pro-
pose, with that disturbing element, an
extra session in progress, is mon
strous bill to increase the taxation of
the people, which has still further en-
barrassed business. Currency reform
of any kind is shelved, at the dicta-
tion of trusts interested in tariff jobs.
The pretense of international bimetal-
lism, sustaining the basic principle Of
the free coinage party, is simply MAX
ing converts to the right side, who
look through the pretense and grasp
the essentials of renewed prosperity.
On the other hand the gold demo-
Gratis and Independents are insulted
and Inundated by the revival of Nc
Kinley taxes in more odious and
oppressive form than was ever dreamed
of. 1t was not for this they changed
the party relations. They feel that
they have been deceived and duped.
We believe the reaction against the
Republican administration and party
will gather accommodating force. The
congressional election next year, like
the election Of 1850, following the Nc
Kinley tariff, Will show the return of
a large Democratic majority in the
lower house. The Democratic party
is pulling itself together, full of hope
and determination. The divisions of
last year are disappearing and great
multitudes, realizing the shallowness
of Republican pledges and the enormi-
ty of Mckinley remedies, are gather
ing about the old camp fires. Hence

the spring elections. Pittsburg
