A SECRET BALLOT.
Delaware County Republican Convention
Tries an Interesting Experiment.

Delaware County Republican Convention
Tries an Interesting Experiment.
The Republicans of Delaware county
have had some trouble for years be-
cause of soreness" after political con-
ventlons. Unsuccessful candidates for
nomination naturally felt hurt when
their neighbors and other personal
friends supported some one else. The
Delaware case is common in every
county of Ohio, and in fact, all over
the country Unsuccessful candi-
dates, in the first bitterness Of disap-
pointment, often impulsively charge
their neighbors with ingratitude, NAL
ice, jealousy, etc, and thus start fac
tional quarrels.
The Delaware Republicans, at their
recent county convention, adopted
the secret ballot, and the un-
successful candidates are at loss to
locate opposition to them. So The Del
aware Republicans are all in good hu
NOR and the unsuccessful candidates
are hearing so many nice things said
about them by all the delegates that
the sting of disappointment has been
pulled out and they are all working
hard and good-naturedly for the
ticket. The Delaware experiment is
being watched with great interest by
politicians all over the state.

Scarcity of Labor an Evidence of Pros
porous Times.
President Mckinley has frequently
said that when two jobs were hunting
tie same man wages would advance
and times be good, while when two
men were hunting the same job wages
would go down and the workingman
would suffer.
The following special dispatch to the
Cincinnati Enquirer indicates the Ia
Dor conditions in the far northwest:
Duluth, MINI, Aug. s-The labor short
age is greater than ever and wages aver
age SO a day. Duluth continues to be the
center of the labor supply, and last week
shipped laborers through Minneapolis and
st. Paul. Employment agents say it is al
most an impossibility to keep men near
the cities, though the wages paid are
higher than In Dakota. The Foley railway
contractor here is paying the highest
wages to common labor in the United
States, but men are leaving for next weeks
Dakota harvest The sawmils in the dis
trict have just raised wages, and at Clio
quet 500 Chippewa Indians have been
taken into the mills, and common laborers
at the mines are getting So, and trainmen
al the Penobscot mine, Hibbng, yesterday
struck for S2.25 The labor famine has
also reached the lake interests. Dock and
deck hands are unusually scarce, and lake
carriers have found 1t necessary TO advance
wages.
This same condition exists in every
part of the country. That is why wages
have been advanced in nearly every in
dustry.
Three years go tens of thousands
were out of employment as a result of
the Democratic mismanagement of the
nations affairs. When Mckinley be-
came president, it was with the prim-
ise to restore prosperity on his lips.
Every workingman who will com
pare his condition today with the idle
ness and suffering of 1894, 1895 and
1896 eau decide whether or not that
promise has been kept.
