Bryan Banquet.

The Columbus Bryan Banquet was
successfully beyond the most SAN
guine expectation, the attendance
being unexpectedly large, necessitat-
ing the placing of a number of ad-
ditional tables at almost the last hour
and the good feeling and enthusiasm
knew no bounds. The speakers were
| all in touch with the audience and
the interest steadily grew until the
climax was reached in Mr.. Bryan's
closing appeal to Americans to work
out the destiny" of the Great Re-
public by making other peoples free.
This speech rs published was dictat-
ed to stenographer in the afternoon
and, although the same line of gen.
eral thought is followed, very mad
quately expresses what Mr.. Bryan
really said under inspiration OF the
occasion, and the punctuation of ap-
plause is not shown in the printed
page. Those in the audience, who
had frequently heard Bryan in set
speeches, united in saying this was
the greatest of them all, not even ex-
cepting that one which fired the
| Chicago Convention of 1896. This
banquet was no ordinary occasion
1t was the setting for a declaration
of principles for the 1900 campaign.
This came about through visit to
Bryan at Chicago made by Hon. A.
w. Thurman and Judge Ditty of Co.
lumbus few days previous, lat which
time he was requested to make such
comprehensive yet specific express
sion. not only as to the Platform of
1896, but regarding the new questions
now pressing to the front, as would
show beyond the shadow of doubt just
where the Democratic leader stands.
How well he succeeded is attested
by the enthusiasm with which every
part of his speech was endorsed by
the audience and in the universal IA
vor with which it is greeted by Demo-
Gratis everywhere. A most sigrifl-
cant feature, too, was the statement
by George Fred Williams of Boston,
who followed Mr.. Bryan, that the
Platform of 1900 had been presented
there the night. Too much praise
cannot be given Messrs. Thurman
and Ditty for the valued service rem
dered the Democratic Party by secur-
ing at this time so full expression
from Mr.. Bryan, for he left no ground
whatever for the men now plotting
destruction of Jeffersonism Democ-
racy to stand upon-their false thun-
der on Trusts and Imperialism has
been electrified with the vitality of
Honest Truth. AS toastmaster, too,
Mr.. Thurman displayed fine tact and
adaptabitity, his neat introductions
striking in the right place every time.
There is nothing like having men up
to the requirements of an emergency,
and this was shown in marked de-
gree at the Columbus Banquet.

Under the present conditions to
make sheep profitable, they should be
kept both for wool and mutton. In
doing this, care should be taken not
to Gull out the best and sell to the
butcher, and this should apply to the
lambs as well as to the mature sheep.
Under average conditions the sheep
that will make the best mutton will
also grow the best fleece of wool If
the quality of the flock is to be inn
proved, not only should IA well bred
ram be used, but make n careful Sc
lection of ewes, and one of the best
ways of securing choice ewes, is to
pick out sufficient number of the
very best eve lambs and keep them to
take the place of older and less desira-
BILE ones in the fall.

Nagglng The Secretary.

The demand for the retirement of
Alger from the cabinet is incessant
and increases In clsmor. Strange as
1t may appear, the most inslstent are
the reputed friends of the president.
They call on Alger to resigR that the
president may be relieved from n
growing embarrassment.
The attacks of the secretary of war
by the supporters of the administra-
ton begin to assume the form of
malicious persecution, and it is no
wonder that Gen Alger is panied and
indignant. Already a feeling of
sympathy is growing up among those
who regarded his appointment in the
first place as a grave blunder and
his retention in the face of what has
taken place as mystery.
If Alger's presence in the cabinet
is an embarrassment to the president
the remedy is simple. He has but to
suggest the fact of the secretary of
war and he. will at once resign. If
he should not take the hint the presi-
dent can request his resignation, and
that will settle it.
1t is due to Gen. Alger that the
president should either tell him
plainly his presence in the cabinet is
distasteful or should stop the attacks
on the secretary by the organs of the
administration. A word from him
would suffice.
Gen. Alger is at present in an en-
barrassing position. If he resigns
without request from the president
it will be virtually an admission that
he is unfit for the place, as has been
charged by his enemies, or that he
has been snubbed by the president
and retires in disgust, while the
president can claim that Alger acted
unadvisedly and is mistaken in sup
posing him unfriendly.
If the President asks him to retire,
Gen. Alger can then defend himself
before the people and claim that he
was no NOR at fault than his chief,
but has been made seapegoat for
the sins and shortcomings of the adj
ministration.
Perhaps that is what is feared, and
hence the reluctance to openly break

THE republican aspirants in
Hooking are looking around for a
weak place on the Democratic
ticket upon which to light and
scrap for the non ination. They
may look until hoary headed and
eyes dim, and they will find no
weak spot.on the Democratic ticket
in Hooking this fall, We have no
weak spots. Every man on the
Democratic ticket will be elected
by a good 800 majority; every fair
minded Republican is steering

M. s. Cox
Is Unanimously Nominated For
Second Term as Represe entative.

MCARTHUR, OHIO, July 49,
'Staid old Macarthur witnessed a
stirring scene in political circles to-
day, as a result of the Hooking
Vinton Democratic Representative
Convention, which convened at 10
o'clock this morning in the opera
house. Vinton for the past four
weeks has been rife with contests
over the manner of selecting dele
gates TO the preventative Con-
vention and a conflict of authority
between the Central and Executive
mittees resulted in three sets
of delegates presenting themselves
to the convention and demanding
admission. Under the apportion-
ment Hooking County had "a dele
gates and Vinton 10. The Hook
ing County delegation came down
24 strong and unanimous for har-
mony, and at the same time with
out candidate, concedlng to Vim
ton a second term.
The convention was called to or
der by j. p. Nunemaker, of Hook
ing, and f. o. Petit, of Logan, was
made temporary Chairman, and j.
A. Cline. of Hooking, Secretary,
Chairman Petit addressed the de-
legates in an eloquent speech earn
estly pleading for harmony and
concerted action for the mutual
benefit of both counties. The prob
lem of which delegation from Vim
ton County should be seated was
solved by naming the "a delegates
from Hooking County as COM
mittee on Credentials, and the con-
vention adjourned until l o'clock.
The Credentials Committee re-
mained in session until 2 o'clock.
The convention convened immedi-
ately thereafter. Frank Brown, of
Hooking, on behalf of the COM
mittee, reported, recommending
the Vinton delegation be seated
that was chosen on last Saturday
under call issued by the Central
Committee for a primary election
to select one man from each pre-
cinct to name the Is delegates. The
report was adopted after voting
down substitute offered by II. w.
James, of Zaleski, This action was
signal victory for Hon. M. S. Cox,
of Vinton, who received the nom-
ination by acclamation amid great
enthusiasm. The temporary or
ganization was made permanent
and resolutions indorsing Bryan
for President, declaring again nst
trusts and pledglng the nominee
for representative to support a two
cent per mile railroad fare were
passed. j. p. Nunemaker, of Hook
ing and d. Steele, of Vinton, were
named as joint committeeman for
the districts Notwithstanding the
strife heretofore existing. The
nomination of Hon. M. S. Cox
seems to meet with general ap.
proval and the opinion expressed
was that the two counties will roll
up handsome majority for him in

BREEDING STRAIGHT.
Under All circumstances Try to Avoid
Violent Crosses.

Whether breeding draft or road
horse, breed the best you can of the
class you decide upon. Avoid violent
crosses. Don't imagine that you can,
as a general rule, succeed in breeding
cross-bred animal viii the size and
weight of draft horse and the speed
and activity of a race horse, nor that
by cross-breeding you can, ordinarily,
get happy combination of many of
the good qualities of both. 1t may
be acknowledged that, occasionally.
an individual horse will he found that
Is an excellent animal, n good general
purpose horse. And such II horse may
have been the result of cross-breeding.
But such instances are rare. They
are exceptions to the rule. Such
crosses usually result in ''weedy,"
ill-proportioned animal, that is fit for
neither the one purpose nor the other.
Such individuals are when used for
breeding purposes, detrimental to
breeders. They are not of n fixed type.
They are composed of say 30 per cent.

In his Report of Industrial and La
Dor Statistics, issued short time
since, commissioner Matthews makes
the following interesting statement
concerning the horse stock of Maine;
During the ten years from 1879 to
1880 the number of horses In Maine
increased 14,716, and colts during That
time increased 9665. From 1889 to
1898. the year that colts reached the
highest number, horses increased 49,
no, while colts had increased 1897.
For the next three years, or until 1Se9
horses increased at the average rate
of nearly 1000 per year, and since
that date only the rate of 100 per
year, while colts since 1893 have rap
idly decreased from 29,716 to 0,435, n
dimlnution of 20,2S1 in five years. A
like decrease for two years more
would cut off entirely our home
supply of horses.
Have our people decided that 1t Ia
cheaper to import horses than to raise
them? 1t would seem that the supply
of horses must be kept up at some
rate for there is no disposition to sub
stitute oxen in their stead, but rather
the reverse. Horse Breeder

Gone! Gone!

Sailing, sailing over the briny main,
And many the storm and winds that blow
Ere he comes back again.
General GrOsvenOr, the dicta tor
of political positions from post
master and poteutate in Logan, to
school director in Nelsonville, has
pushed off his little boat and sailed
for Europe leaving the vanquished
foemen in Logan stretched upon
the ground to die alone. He has
sealed the book, and Editor Mckay
can brand him as the liar that he
is. 1t is alledged that shortly after
the Republican State Convention,
Grosvenor notified Editor Mckay
that charges against Postmaster
Nickers had been sustained at
Washington, and the Congressman
had been instructed to recommend
a successor at once, ana that he had
chosen as that successor, Editor
Mckay and for MIN to arrange his
business to take the position at
once. Mr.. Mckay accepted the
courtesy and give it out to his
friends that the change was to be
made in his favor, and arranged
his business according. In the
mean time 1T is alledged that Mr..
Vickers was asked to resign. This
the Postmaster utterly refused to
do, and accompanied by few stall
warts of Hooking went to Athens
to see the big boss, They bulled
him severely and he agreed to take
the defense of Vickers to Washing
ton and look into the matter. This
he did and stayed the execution,
and reported back in Hooking that
there would be no removals. This
placed the Postmaster on his high
horse of authority and he discharg-
ed Assistant-postmaster Larimer
branding him as conspirator in
the fight against him. The waters
were not Gained by any means,
and a turbulent contest and storm
Of wrath has poured into the Con.
gresham from McKays friends
and the soldier comrades of Captain
Larimer, eyer since. Grosveuor
was somewhat swayed by the high
waves dashing in his face and gave
it out on his departure, that when
in Washington enroute to Europe
he would touch the button that
would remove Vickers, and the
Mckay people could be prepared
to hear something drop very hard
in their favor. They have listened
with their ears to the ground sew
eral days with the hope of catching
the rumble of approaching glad
tidings, but the old General has
lied again, and ignoring the powers
in Hooking and the newspaper
strength here, he has pushed off
shore his little boat and is now
sailing off to Europe laughing in
his sleeve at Mckay holding the
bag. Vickers has taken the bull
by the horns, and his double dare"
bluff TO the big Congressman has
taken root and the latter is afraid
to touch the button for fear the
electric current will re-actand give
him severe shock from which he
will not soon recover. In the
