Kay was the proper and legitimate
man for post master when that ap.
pointment was to be made but he
had worked too hard for his party
and therefore should ask nothing.
Now comes the Journal Gazette
foreman, Mr.. Huls, an excellent
gentleman and fighter for his
party, and asks for the little job Of
clerk of the board of election, but
his past services go for naught and
down he goes. In his stead is
chosen Charles James, a gentleman
and a good man, and probably en-
titled to the position as much as
any ordinary republican, but why
he receives it over Mr.. Huls, who
Is fighter and has taken part in
all campaigns for success, and
travelled night and day through the
county for his party, is but another
evidence of Republican gratitude,

Washington During Congress.

The best time to visit the Nation
al Capital is during session of
Congress when the brightest sons
of this glorious Nation gather to
make laws for conduct of its gov
ernment. The last session of the
55th Congress opened Monday,
December 5th and will continue
until March 4th, 1899. The many
important questions arising from
the war with Spain will make this
session a memorable one.
Outside of the doings of Congress,
no city in the world is more inter-
esting to the visitor or offers great
er attractions than Washington
and every good American should
be able to say that he has visited
the City.

LET'S SEE, who will we have for
Grosvenor delegates to the state
convention from Hooking? w. W..
Keynes? Yes, Keynes is alright.
He will stay with the General
against the earth. DR.. Campbell :?
Yes, Doc is alright for he is on the
pension board; he would stay with
Grosvenor sure. III, j. Woodwork Z?
Yes, another appointee. He's safe.
Ed. Kelly? Well, let's see. Yes,
Ed. will do. He is little indie.
pendent In his views and as strong
minded as thunder, but he is great
admirer of Grosvenor and would
stay with him. Now who else can
we find? Let's see? Oh, yes, for
the land sakes alive, we very near
forgot the "whole thing" Postmas-
ter Vickers. How stupid we are
not to have thought of him first.
Well, he will be there, and be there
strong, and by the gods Of war
things must go right or there will
be trouble. The postmaster will
head the delee alton, and the rest
will tell him how they want to
vote, and he will do the voting for
all. There will be no monkey bu-
siDess nor drifting around. There
will be business done in business
like manner, and then it is all over.
1t will no doubt be surprisedly said
and forcefully wondered at on read
ing the above surmise, that there
is omitted the. most important per-
sonage in the republican party in
Hooking; the name of j. r. Smith,
Chairman Of the executive COM
mittee. This was not an oyersigh
but Intentional on our part, for J.
II. informed us shortly after the
election that he is done with all
politics. He Is back number; re-
tired for good. We therefore accept
with delight his retirement, for he
was the warmest member we over
went up against, and had 1t not
been that he went against q giant
10 the person OF Dan Lappen on
our side, he would have given US a
long to be remembered.

or Government Money.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be.
come indurated down to a fixture.
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. It will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR TWILL DE-
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON

The famous Hazard circular, to
capitalists in New York, and the Buell.
Bank circular to United States, Bank
ers, both emanating from London, and
the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
$I,5oo, 900, were the agents that se-
cured the closing of our mints against
silver.
The "walk into my parlor" policy
of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
Of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern
ment.
Notwithstanding the famine price
of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent,
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For a thorough understanding of
the money question, or silver issue.
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. 1t is a paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas

bible, he never married but went

life.
He leaves four sisters to mourn
theiI loss; his father, mother, two
brothers and two sisters having pre-
ceded him to the other shore. During
his last illness he bore his sufferings
patiently and without complaint. A
short time before his death he ex-
pressed willingness to depart this
life if it was the Lords will. All was
done that willing hands and loving
hearts could do to keep him with us,
but the Lord wanted his own, and as
the shades of the evening twilight
began to gather around us, camly
and peacefully he passed from earth
to that glorious haven of rest.
Funeral service from his late resi-
dence. conducted by Rev. Jewett, of
the M. E. Church. Interrment in
the Groves Cemetery, where amidst
the many relatives and friends he
was laid to rest until the great resur-
rection morn.
The departed spirit gentle as dove
From mortality did release
And winged its flight above
Where all is JOY and peace.
