The County Convention.

The Democratic Convention Satur-
day to select nine delegates to the
democratic convention al Des Moines
was not very fully attended, there be-
Ing no rival interests to serve in the
choice of delegates. OF the nine dele
gates chosen, possibly A. c. Campbell,
A.. r. McCook and d. A. Lyons will
attend. The editor of the PLAIN
DEALER chosen as delegate, were he
able to attend, as he is not, would
favor the nomination of Hon. Cato
Sells for Governor, the general en-
dorScment of the Kansas City plat
form, not solely on the money ques-
tion but because of it's features en-
bodying the fundamental principles
of good government, in antagonism
OF the trusts that have usurped near
ly all the functions of sovereignty con-
ferred upon congress by the constitu-
| tion, the principal of which, are the
essential tools of commerce, Money,
Transportation and the Transmission
of Intelligence.
| But as these are not subjects for
| state legislation we would not make
them the leading issues in campaign
! that relates solely to the affairs of the
state and its people. The question of
just and equitable system of taxa
alton between the corporations and
the farms and farmers Of the state is
one of the issues that should be at the
front. The payment of unearned
salaries to public servants about the
state house, sons and relatives of the
incumbents, the thousands of dollars
stolen from the people in fraudulent
contracts dishonesty performed in
the public printing and binding de-
partments are live issues, the evil Of
which can, and should be corrected.
In 1896 the republican party declared
that there was money enough. Since
then it has, and is now coming silver
at the ratio of Is to l, then said by it
to be dishonest, fifty millions of
dollars annually. Not through any of
its policies more than five hundred
million dollars have been added to the
circulating medium of the country
resulting, as democrats insisted it
would in better prices and prosperity.
This will be further increased by an
authorized increase of paper money,
based upon wind and cheek, and while
current will tend to increased business
activity and prosperity to those who
part with it and make permanent in
vestment in some substantial proper
ty.
The day of reckoning will come
when this paper money is presented
for redemption by the men who have
given their labor, and their substance,
in exchange for it, The money ques-
ton then will again come to the front
and like a cyclone sweep the horizon
of politics.
