The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1897-08-24
HOOKING REPUBLICANS.
TIcle just Nominated that
Will BE Badly Defeated.
Second TORN To Spurrler Not tjranted

today in delegate convention, for
the purpose of selecting for slaugh-
ter full county ticket this fall. The
convention was very tame flair,
but little enthusiasm being mani
tested over the nominations. The
only stir in the convention was
caused by II. j. Woodwork, treas
urer of Hooking county, who, when
the call for nomination of infirmary
director was made, got up and said
on behalf of all the delegates Of
Ward township and in the order of
the machinery of the convention,
he would place the name of Lewis
Spurrier in nomination for second
term for infrmary director. The
word "machinery" did not strike or
sound well to the more senstative
Of the delegates, and that, with the
bad repute of Spurrier, owing to
too much son-in-law and other re-
latiOnship in the employ of the in
firmary directors at the infirmary,
all being related to Spurrier to the
exclusion of others considered to be
more proficient for the places,
Spurrier was nceremoniusly sat
down upon and a dark horse in the
person of Jacob Zellers, of En- er-
prise sprung. Since the close of the
convention more knives have been
whetted and more i'll feeling has
been caused than for number of
years back, and the Republicans,
when accssted on the street by The
Press representative with the
query. "Well, how do you like the
nominations ?" replied with sickly
smile and a hollow laugh: "Oh, it
will do, but it might have been bet
ter" The ticket, as placed in nomi-
nation, is as follows: For sheriff,
NJ. w. Allstadt, of Laurelville; COM
missioner, w. G. Webb, of Webb
Summit; inllrmary director, Jacob
Neller, of Enterprise. Following
the nominations set of resolutions
we're drawn up and presented to
the convention for approval. Some
portions OF the resolutions, especial
ly that part endorsing the Hanna
Dick method OF buldozing the peo-
pie, stampeded the farmer dele
gates, but with the help of the party
whip in the hand of Colonel Sand,
j.. NJ. Mckay, ct at, were finally
adopted, hut without the usual
amount Of G O.P. enthusiasm man.
Tested at Republican jamborees.
The resolutions, as adopted, are as
follows:
"The Republicans Of Hooking
county may well rejoice that the
condition Of the country
under the late Democratic admin
istration is fast passing away (they
don't say anything about the cad
vance agent'), and that the dawn
of prosperity under Republican
administration is in plain view Of
the American people.

aker and Hanna Cthey forgot the
old statesman, John Sherman, in
this clause the fine type of Ameri.

labor, and it is with pride that we

thies to the struggling patriots of
Cuba in their efforts to achieve free

this through and it is our earnest
hope that the day of their freedom
is near at hand.
ave denounce in unqualified
terms the unjust violations Of the
civil service law by the late Dem
ocratic administration and demand
such modification Of President
orders as will accom-
plish justice Cor in other words put
the national pie counter in Il shape
that can all get whnck), under
The law, to he common people Of
this country.
"We heartily approve of the re-
forms Of the pension bureau under
