In the death of this estimable and
venerable woman our community loses
one of it's most kindly and respected
citizens. In the earlier history of our

tenderly and faithfully cared for our
dead, and beautified as far as might be

OF century she served faithfully and

The valiant Democratic orators who
are polishing their clubs to enter the
antitrust arena should carefully consid-
er first the fact that the most reliable
Democratic state of the north, New Jer.
sey, has for years been the home of bogus
corporations and the starting point Of
vast concerns. The liberal state laws
which made it so desirable for "trust"
organization in New Jersey were passed
by Democratic legislature.

One of the Hillsboro newspapers in
attempting to carry out it's agreement to
support the Democratic ticket, seeks to
make capital against Judge Festus Wal.
ters, who was renominated in this Judi
cial District few days ago, by misrepre-
sentations as to the convention that
made the nomination. 1t also casts re-
dections on irwin Med. Smith, who was
Judicial Committeeman last year ard
signed the call for the convention which
that paper carried for several weeks, but
probably never read it. With the issu
ance of that call Mr.. Smiths official SER
vices were at an end, and. as could be
plainly seen by the language therein,
Mr.. Smith had no say as to the time,
place, manner or how the delegates
should be selected. The fact is, there
was no contest and Judge Newly and
only few others attended the eonven-
tion from this county. Anyone who
cared to 60 could have been on the del
egation. If we are correctly informed,
and We think we are, so little interest
wss taken in the Judicial convention
here that it was entirely overlooked by
everyone until too late to select accord
ing to the call, and no legal delegation
represented Highland county, though
several gentlemen from here attended.
In fact Highland county was not repre-.
seuted through the lack OF interest be.

The most abused man in Hillsboro af-
ter the late Democrat county convention
adjourned was Hon. R. 7. Hough, the
leader of Mclean faction. The Sloane

him for joining with the man who it
was claimed dumped him for the Guber-
material nomination two years ago at
Columbus, While the Mclean crowd

delegates failed in securing the State
delegation.
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1899-08-24

Hon. R. T. Hough will certainly have
some explaining to do. On the streets
since the Democratic primary he has
been saying that ninety per cent. of the
delegates were for Mclean. The most
conservative estimate would be that rs
per cent. at least of the delegates dav.
ored Mclean. Still in the face of these
facts Hough failed to secure Mclean
delegation and allowed Sloane to bull
doze and boss the convention with only
small minority at his back. The ques.
ton now being asked on all sides is
whether Hough managed properly or
Boss Sloane compelled him to lay down.

And Confidently Claim That Sloane's
Ring Delegation will be Prompt.
ly Unseated.

That there will be contesting delega.
ton sent to the Democrat State Conven.
ton from Highland county, appears q
certainty at this time. It is claimed by
the Mclean people that they were beat
en- by the unfair and prejudicial rulings
of the chairman Of the convention, Il.
L. Dickey, who, % they state, changed
his ruling at the dictation Of Boss Sloane.
The following delegation as reported
by the minority committee will make
the contest: Delegates, John Hsnley,
L. L. Faris, 6. s. White, DR.. R. R. An.
Hugh Morrow, J. L. Strange. Alter
mates, J. O. Vance, Jas. Powell, r. 7.
Hough, Gary Rhoten n, Beeson Carlisle,
Edward Gonna.
It has leaked out that word was re-
ceived from Lewis G. Bernard, of Gin
cinnati, McLean's chief lieutenant, after
the convention to make the contest and
Hough was summoned to Cincinnati for
consultation. That John r. Mclean,
who will be in complete control at
GAINESVILLE, will take pleasure in throw
ing out the Sloane ring delegates is ex-
pressed with great confidence by the
McLeanites. On the other hand the
the Sloane crowd is defiant and boldly
assert that Hough has not the nerve to
carry the fight to the State Convention.
