OHIO is regarded by the admin
istration as the first battle-ground
of the presidential campaign of
1900, and the presidents friends
are planning to make vigorous
fight to keep the state in the re-
publican column. The republican
policy will embrace the retention
Of the Philippines and the changes
will be rung on the idea of
trade following the flag On
the money question the republican
argument will be yellow. There
will be no talk Of international BIZ
metallism this time, the party
leaders coming out squarely for
the gold standard. On the tariff
issue, the position will be taken
that the Dingley law is satisfac-
tory and should not be changed.
The trust issue will be lodged.

Maryland the democrats under the

given them by the Baltimore

GOOD and bad reports continue
to come from the tbreshers. With

for thirty or forty bushels, are 60

DE.MOCR.ACYS MISSION.

The address issued by the Dem
ocratic National Committee is
timely, clear and strong. Unity
and harmony are counseled. With
out them victory is doubtful, and
the enthusiasm which begets con-
fdence and courage will not be
full-throated.
The appeal of the committee
goes straight to the common sense
and experience of all democrats.
"The great need now," it declares,
sis party unity and thorough Or
ganization." 1t calls upon all
democrats Sin all states, and es-
pecially in states where elections
are to be held this year, to put
aside all local differences wher-
ever they may exist, and support
the regular ticket earnestly and
enthusiastically, keeping always
in view the great struggle of next
year and remembering that in I'M
ity there is strength and in divi-
sion weakness"
No true democrat will ignore
this advice. Whoever shall is
only a democrat in name, unfaith-
fl! tc his party and lacking in
patriotic duty.
Never before, since the dawn of
the republic, have graver dangers
beset its integrity. Moneved
greed, combined and intrenched
under the protection of the repub-
lican party, is fast marching to-
ward the overthrow of. the COM
mercial and political freedom OF
the masses. An oligarchy Of
wealth is laying siege to the I'M.
derlying principles of government
by the people.
Militarism is raising it's mailed
hand to strike down the basic
enunc1atlons of the Declaration OF
Independence, that all men are
created free and equal and that
the power to govern resides in the
consent of the governed.
The republican party is in
league with the allied enemies tc
sacred principles and traditions
that have successfully withstood
foreign wars and domestic shocks
for more than a century.
To the democratic party the ma.
ton looks for emancipation from
the evils which threatens it's per.
petuity and for continuance in the
the faith and practices of the
fathers. The democratic party
must rise to its opportunity. I
must show q united and unbroke1
front to it's foes and the foes of itt
country. Let it throw away feue
and selfishness and with harmony
and unity on it's banners courage
ously march to the rescue of the
American people from the peril'
that threaten.
