President have felt more keenly his inapil-
ity to comply with the wishes Of his
friends.
AS to the issues of the future, I can say
with absolute confidence that in the future.
as in the past the mode of levying duties
on imported goods and the free coinage OF
silver will be the dividing lines of the two
great parties. 1t may be that the dement's
of protection will be so apparent that the
south, now already becoming a manufac-
turing community, and the west, filled with
mineral resources of untold value, may be
converted TO the policy of protecting their
nascent industries by tariff laws.
And ii may be that the manufacturing
Industries OF the east may become SO
strong as to oppose duties on raw ma
terials thus reversing their positions. This
would be a change of position In the sec
lions, but the issue would remain.
Local Issues.
AS for the ticket that is presented by the
republican party, there ought to be no
division of opinion among republicans.
Governor Bushnell has proved to be an
able and excellent officer, has performed
his duties to tho entire satisfaction of the
people, has been honest and faithful. and
deserves your hearty support. The cleo
ton of legislature in Ohio is always i'm
portant. Its action more directly affects
the people of Ohio than even the action
of Congress. The election OF senator or
the United States is involved in the election
of a legislature. The only republican can
didate who is mentioned Is Mark A. Hanna,
who is now serving out the remainder of
the term to which / had the honor to be
elected. His wide experience as a business
man. his generous and kindly treatment of his
employees, his sound judgment OF all public
questions of the day. ought to secure for
him the hearty support Of every republican
member Of the legislature. will. on Tues
day next Providence permitting, go to
Mansfield and contribute my vote. not only
for his election, but for the election Of the
entire republican ticket.
Very respectfully yours.
(Sirned) JOHN SHERMAN.

No Ground for Silver Mems Claims.
1t is said that free coinage would bring
up the price Of silver bullion to the ratio
of Is to 1. There is not the slightest
ground for this opinion. Silver has gone
down in price precisely as iron, tin, copper
or, indeed, the price Of all the metals ex-
cept gold. The DEVELOPMENT in the process
of mineralogy has 1kept pace with the
cheapening Of nearly HI, the productions OF
skill known as manufactures. Even gold
may decline in relative value as the result
of the recent developments of mines In sew

A Remarkable Accident.

A few days ago u remarkable accident

from the fold to tho barn. In going he
had to cross flat top bridge, which spans
creek that runs through the farm. Mr..
Trump was sitting q straddlo Of the ladder

came on tho bridge. tho structure, which
had bcen built for some years, gavo way iu
