Determined and Patriotic Fight,


The Fremont Messenger is making
determined and patriotic fight for
the ticket and platform last fall, and, j,
in this Connection, says:
We would call the attention of
democrats to the Importance of the
coming spring election. There are
those among us who call themselves
democrats and want to be recognized
as such and expect to be elected to
Office, Notwithstanding the fact that
they bolted the party last fall when
it needed their support and vote
more than any other time to insure
success. And would, it is now admit
ted, have been successful if these men
would have been loyal to party nomi-
nations. No man can call himself a
democrat who rejected the Chicago
platfrom and candidates and endors-
ed those of St Louis or Indianapolis
conventions. They may call them
selves republicans, independents,
bimetallists, goldbugs or anythings
else, but they are not democrats.
That Chicago platform was the test,
you have either got to be for 1t or
against 1t. There is no compromise
whatever. Deserters when the battle
is on shou ldnot ask or expect front
seats so soon from those whom they
helped to defeat.

THE Signal announces three out
and out candidates for the Napoleon
post office, viz: E. A. Palmer, senior
editor of the Signal, Jas. Allen and
T. @. Clewell, and remarks that there
are others. Others! We should say
there were others, why there are
whole scores of 'em and it is yet ear
ly in the fight. There is Billy Sid
linger, Billy Brownell, w. D. Frease,
Dave Hancock, Geo. Fisk, Ex-Sheriff
Pender, Geo. Russell, and many 9TH
ers whose names, together with
the above three first named, we have
heard mentioned in connection with
the Napoleon postoff1ce squabble. OF
course all of them have claims upon
the Office, but why not all of you,
gentlemen, step aside and let SOL
dier's widow, Mrs. Edison, have the
Office? She is capable, worthy, and
as a just recognition of her worth as
deputy p. IN. for a long number of
years, she is entitled to the position.
What say you, gentlemen?

Bryan's Growing Popularity.

The New York World sent the fol-
lowing telegram to all regular Demo
cratic state organizations and mem
bers OF the national committee: "If
the Democratic national convention
met tou.orrow would William ]. Bay
an again be chosen as the Democrat
ic candidate for presidentr" and with
extraordinary unaniniity in setiment
the answer comes from all states ex'
cept Maine that he would be chosen
as the nominee and be elected by an
overwhelming majority at the polls
were the election to follow.
The devotion of the followers oi
Bryan is unbounded, and the tele-
grams clearly demonstrate that he Ii
the idol of the Democratic masses
Why should he rot be2 Strong physi'
cally, morally and mentally, and as
eloquent and as earnest as he Is
strong in the important points nam.
ed, he, single handed, terminated
and reorganized the Democratic
party and made it what it now is and
what it should be-the champion OF
popular rights and the defender OF
the oppressed.

THERE is just one way to keep the
parity between gold and silver, and
that is by cutting down the demand
for the dearer metal and increasing
the demand for the cheaper. When
gold evinees a tendency to rise above
our silver currency, we must decrease Q
the demand for gold and increase the
demand for silver. Now this cannot
be done by declaring our silver unfit
for use as money. 1t can be done
only by increasing the use of this sill
yer as money, and thereby decreas-
ing the demand of gold as money,
and this can be done only by leaving
debtors free to pay in that metal
which they prefer. Leave this option
with the debtors, and they will ever
be impelled by self-interest to use the
cheaper money, and thus the demand
for different kinds of money will be
self f-righted with the result that the
parity will never be disturbed unless
it happens that there Is enough of
the cheaper kind of money to meet
all the requirements of business.
Thus, if there were enough silver to
meet all the demands for money with
out raising the price of silver to
parity with gold, gold would go to
premium. Otherwise it would not,
and as there is no such amount
of silver, and as there would be no
demand for gold as money so long as
its price was above the mint price
of silver, it is evident gold would soon
fall as silver rose, aid thus the pari-
ty be maintained. - Columbus Call.

Gov. BUSHNELL paid no attention
to the protests of the labor organiza.
tions against the appointment OF
Mark Hanna for U. s. Senator. But
we presume the labor organizations
will swallow the insult and go right
on sustaining by their votes the Ia
bor crushers and the gold standard
politicians and plutocrats. as they did
last fall and as they have generally
done in the past. Had the labor vote
been as favorable to Bryah last year
as was the farmer 'Vo9teo Mckinley
would not be PresidaenFt to-day and
Mark Hanna Hanna would. not be Senator,
nor would the gold standard be fast
ened upon the country for another
four years. But it is to be hoped that
the laboring people will have their
eyes opened to their own interests be-
fore another election is held.

McKinley MARROW nIargins.

Thursdays Inauguration pageant
under the general direction of Man
ager Hanna. recalls the day eight
years ago when a triumphant pluto
cracy sealed and celebrated its
triumph In the election OF Harrison
and Morton.
That trump was secured through
the narrow margin of 68 electoral
votes. A reversal OF the vote of
New York alone, which gave Harri-
son only $4,000 plurality and elected
Demoratic Governor at the same
time, would have changed the result.
The Democratic Presidential candi-
date had plurality in a populer
vote of 98,O17.
Yet the Republican leaders and
their plutocratic allies, intoxicate ed
with power, entered upon u carnival
of spoils and an excess OF legislation
in the interest of trusts and monop-
olies which resulted in their over
whelming defeat IN 1899 and their
complete turning down and out in
1899.
Is history again to repeat itself2
Last November Mckinley and Ho-
bart were elected by a narrow mar
gin and by Democratic votes. A
change in 4S electoral votes would
have defeated Mckinley. And twetve
more than this Ramber ooere given to
him by State 0iOays or nearly at,Vays
Democratic, to-wiG: Connecticut, g.;
Delaware, 8; Indiana, is: Maryland,
g; Kentucky 12; New Jersey, 10;
West Virginia, 6. Total, 60.
Or Mckinley would have been de-
feated by a change of little more than
20, 900 votes, as these figures show:

A Warming

Senator Chandler, in his three
hours speech in the favor OF the In
ternational Bimetallic Conference
bill, occasionally took on the charac-
ter Of a prophet; sometimes fortell-
ing, sometimes warning. He declar-
ed that President Mckinley and the
other leaders of the Republican party
might, if they would be wise, ''indef-
nitely prolong the ascendancy of the
party" But to do this they must
make it "the true party OF the peo-
ple.'
The implication was plain that the
tendency was, and had been, to make
it the party representing merely
wealth-a small fraction Of the peo-
ple-and not by means true to the
interests of the people in general.
IF on the contrary" said the sena-
tor, "this is not done, and the Repub-
can party should content itself with
seizing and enjoying the spoils of Of
flee, surrendering unreservedly to the
money power which so effectively
contributed to its recent victory, ac-
quiescing permanently in the existing
gold standard and treating bimetal-
lism as Juggling humbug' and the
promise to promote it as a pledge not
intended to be fulfilled, Republicans
will speedy find the tide of political
battle once more turned against them,
and they will soon exchange places
with their now sore, bleeding and
Frustrated foes"
Again the senator declared, II can
not help saying warningly concerning
the world wide controversy over the
burning question of money: Unset
tied questions pay no heed to the re-
pose of nations
1t is refreshing to find Republican
senator who has looked deep enough
into the burning questions of mo
ney" to find it is a worldwide con-
troversy' and not temporary and
local lunacy of a few silver cranks in
the United States.
1t is remarkable, also, to find a Re-
publican politician and statesman OF
national reputation and oflarge abili-
ty, referring SO frankly to the money
power" as force to be feared, and
the fact that that same
money power $50 effectively contrib
uted to its recent victory"
In the line of this warning, we ask
which is more probable, that the
money power" with a Secretary
Of the Treasury Of its choice, will sur
render to the people, or that that
power will still insist upon control
ing the government, regardless of
he wishes of hepeople?

A number Of places in Ohio are
retrenching by cutting down the sal
aries of the town and city officers.
The officers of Napoleon get little
enough, and it would be hard to re-
trench here on that line, but there
could be retrenchment by combining
the offices of marshal and street COM
missioner, as is done in quite num-
Der of towns in Ohio. BY combining
these two offices some $500 or $500
could be saved yearly.

Correspondents should be very
careful in the matter of personal al
lusion in their badgering citizens OF
the localities from which they write.
Many persons resent undue familI-
arity with the use of their names,
while others do not care much what
Is said concerning them. The best
way to do is to give the news plainly
and free from imaginative embellish-
ments. This usually does awav with
the possibility of offense and also
answers every purpose.
