conspicuous by the very fact that, in
fear of their constituents, they don't
like to keep in the party procession. Is
an irresolute, halting. nerveless politi-
clan like President Mckinley going TO
abandon his party for the sake of maxi
ing things easy for an insignificant
group of westerners like Woleott, Car
ter and Clark? He will do nothing of
the sort; as politician, he would be a
fool were he to do 1t.
We have just referred to the fear of
their constituents" that governs these
western men. That is the right word;
in the same interview in which Mr..
Clark used the words already quoted.
he said: IF all recognition of silver is
abandoned and the single gold standard
is thrust upon us, I would hardly dare
go back and face my own people"
If the administration does not thrust
the gold standard upon u.s." 1t will be
because silver's friends-with whom
Mr. Clark and his western associates
refuse to cooperate-are able to block
the scheme of the administration, If
the outcome depended on men like tlis
one who misrepresents Wyoming, the
gold standard would be thrust upon us,
by vote of the two houses with Presi-
dent Mckinleys signature added, be-
fore the present session of congress is
sixty days older.
What is written here in comment on
Senator Clark's remarks found its way
into type, last night, before the report
of President McKinley's banquet
speech reached this office. That speech
will give the Wyoming senator an OPP
portunity to do some more talking. He
has said that the president will declare
himself in due time. Will he admit this
morning that due time for the deelar
alton proved to be Thursday night,
January q, 1898?

He's One of Them.

rHE run of events is making
constantly more uncomfortable
the position in which several
western senators find themselves; the
administration is making it hotter and
hotter for them. One of these uneasy
gentlemen is Senator Clark. of Wyo-
ming. He said recently, in an inter-
View. that President Mckinley lis too
manly and sincere to attempt to carry
water on both shoulders and he Will
declare himself in due time
What sort of a declaration is Senator
Clark waiting for? The Gage plan is
the national issue of the year. That
plan was thoroughly considered in the
cabinet before IL was laid before con-
gress or given, even in outline, to the
public. The cabinet approved; the
president. in his annual message, urged
congress to consider II. During the
session Mr.. Gage has given much more
time than is usual with secretaries of
the treasury TO the house committee
on banking and currency. He is
jealous in the effort TO press his single
standard scheme upon the attention OF
the house; VIGOROUSLY he started out to
establish the eountry's finances on the
gold basis"-he said that IN so many
words.
Yet Senator Clark and a few western
men like him pretend that President
Mckinley will yet declare himself. The
president is a trimmer, otherwise he
would silence men like Senator CLARK
in five minutes. Being a trimmer, tha
president may be counted on 10 &c

~HERE'LL probably be hot time
this morning in the parts of the
old town where Wolcott and
Carter and old Shoup and the rest of
them reside. If the speech which Pres
ident Mckinley delivered in New York
last night doesn't upset their appetite
for breakfast, then they can stomach
anything.
The central thought" of this speech
is in the short sentence which says: 1t
will not suffice for citizens nowadays
TO say simply that they are in favor of
sound money. That is not enough The
peoples purpose must be given the vi
tality of public law" The sound money
league. just out of it's national conven-
ton, has before congress a sound
money gold standard plan. Mr.. Gage
says that his sound-money scheme is
essentially that of the Sound Money
league 1t is known that congress halts.
Speaker Reed and other republican
leaders have doubted the wisdom of
the policy of pushing things. What
ever of doubt there may have been
hitherto respecting the president. last
nights speech makes it clear that the
goldbugs have him, body. boots and
breeches; he declares for sound
money"-there can be no question, un-
der recent partisan usage of the words,
what he means by that. And, what is
more, he is earnestly for legislation
along the Gage lines.
With the president pushing for gold
bug legislation which even the conser-
vative goldbug republicans consider in
opportune. it will be harder than ever
for Senator Wolcott to persuade any
body that the administration proposes
to tinker the international agreement
plan any more. The merit in the
presidents speech is that it puts an
end to the occupation of half a dozen
western senators whose principal bust
ness has been to misrepresent him. In
urging legislation designed to establish
the gold standard, President Mckinley
declares that he wants to put a check
ION the present fallacies and the con-
slant effort to spread Them
The Standard does not know how
well advanced Senator Carter has his
state machine, through federal appoint
ments for Montana, but 1t wouldn't
surprise this newspaper were Carter to
screw his courage up to the point of de-
flying the administration, just a little
bit. by voting to-day for the Teller res

William F. Duncan, Of this city, has
been nominated for the office OF Com
mon Please Judge, by the Republicans
OF this sub -diyislon Of the Tenth Judi
cial District. More than two-thlrds
OF the delegates in the con-
vention which gave him the nomi-
nation, we're for him from start to fin
ish. Mr.. Duncan is young man,
being but thirty-six years OF age. He
located in this city ten years ago fresh
from the Cincinnati Law School and
opened an Office. Six years ago this
spring he was nominated for
City Solicitor in contest in
which nearly dozen candidates were
interested. He was elected after a
spirited canvass, leading the ticket.
Two years later he was re-nominated
and was again elected by majority of
oyer 700. He filled the Office to the
entire satisfaction of the tax payers,
and through his advice the city saved
considerable money in contests both in
and out of court. On retiring from
Office he continued the practice OF law,
and soon built up a lucrative business.
Mr.. Duncan is well-read and is q close
student. He has the confidence of the
entire bar in this city, as we'll as in all
the counties in the district. He is
strictly honest and will make an able
and impartial judge. 1t now behooves
the Republicans and all others who
want a judge in Findlay to take off
their coats, roll up their sleeves, and
work for his election until the polls
close on the evening of April 4th.-

The county commissioners were met
Monday morning at the court house by
a stone road committee, consisting of
representative taxpayers along the
various stone roads In Wood county.
The purpose of the committee was to
confer with the commissioners with
reference to asking for tho enactment
of a law for Wood county authorizing
the repair OF the stone roads and pro-
vlding some means of payment there.
for. The committee proposed that 20
per cent OF such expense be taxed
against the townships through which
such roads pass and the remaining 80
per cent be paid by q general taxation.
The commissioners thought that such
a plaA would be very unjust to the
county at large, and would not consld-
er the proposition. Nothing was ac-
complished by the meeting. g.-Sentinel.
This agitation OF stone road improve
ment has had occasional seasons OF
activity every few months for the past
five years, and is manifested chiefly by
an effort to have the roads improved at
the expense OF some one other than
those who are the most directly inter-
ested, and when this cannot be done
the ambition to improve takes another
long sleep. This state of affairs has
continued until the Maumee and
Western Reserve Stone road, which
was once the pride of the county, IL
now one of the toughest roads In the
county, all on account OF neglect which
is little less than criminal. On several
occasions measures have been proposed
for its Improvement, but opposition
fcom those mostly benefited has de-
feated the project and nothing has
been accomplished.
