have been in pretty good condition,

for their own interest and not that
OF their fellows. We firmly believe il

To Our Friends, &c.

The editor of the REPUBLICAN
wishes to express his gratitude to
the many friends who gave him their
assistance, counsel and encourage
ment in the late post Office con-
test. We are especially gratitied
that this assistance and encourage
ment has come to US freely, with no
hope of reward or promise of assist
ance. We have resorted to nothing
dishonorable, disreputable or unwor-
thy. We have made no promises ex-
pressed or implied, and have been
asked for none. We know of no act
dishonorable or unworthy that has
been done in our behalf. All stories
to the contrary, are false, and had
their origin in misapprehension or
malice. For those who have sought
to promote the candidacy of Others,
from worthy motives and by honora-
BILE methods. we have had no i'll feel
ing. For those who have stepped
aside from the path of honor TO ma

regret, and hope that they will live
to be more honorable to others. To
the very, very many friends, who
have overwhelmed US by their con
gratulations, and embarrassed US
by their compliments, we cannot ex-
press our thanks, but can only say.
you have given us the greatest pleas
ure and encouragement of our lives.
To Mr.. W. G. Huston, who gave us
assistance, and to Judge
Warnock, who gave us the indispen-
sible endorsement. we are especially
and can say. that from nei-
ther have we received anything but
sincere treatment, honorable consid-
Grafton and kind assistance.
We shall endeavor to so faithfully
and efficiently discharge our duties
as to show ourselves worthy of the
trust placed in us.

ADVANTAGES
OF Life Insurance In
the Union Central
OF Cincinnati,
Ohio.
Two Prominent Citizens of
Logan County !.
To Receive S6.34O.76. No
vember 3Oth and De-
Cember 18th Next.
MIR. Andrew j. Smith. of Bloom
center. and Mr.. George o.
Day. of RuShsylvdnia

Have received thro' Mr.. Geo. II. Al
len, General Agent, notice of the ap.
preaching maturity of their policies
taken twenty-eight, and twenty-five
years ago, on what is known as the
Life Rate Endowment Plan, which
plan has been a source of much an
noyance and worry to competing
agents; so much so, in fact, that they
have never lost an opportunity, and
in many instances sought them, to
advise the Union Central policy hold
er that his policy would never, no,
never, mature as an endowment, and
would be paid at death only, and
doubtless in some few instances, men
of less firmness than Mr.. Smith ard
Mr.. Day have yielded to the cease
less bombardment of unscrupulous
agents, and taken less remunerative
policies, only to regret it later in life.
That no better policy for the money
paid is written by any company is
evidenced by results of these two
policies. Mr.. Smith having paid In
twen'y-eight years. 1851 80, will
receive, November 30th, next. $4,000. 35
which returns to him every doll ir he
paid the company, with a profit of
sI73s.75. Mr.. Day paid in twenty
five years. s7s2 so, and will on the
18th of December, next, receive,
sl0I0.5l, leaving him a net profit of
s267.9l, each having twenty eight and
twenty-five years of insurance, at
practically no cost whatever. If we
allow $500 per year, per thousand,
for cost of the Insurance. the profits
on these two policies is equal to the
finest investment that can be made,
and we fully believe, that If the in
suring public understood what an ex-
cellent company the Union Cent raj
really Is, not a single dollar
would go elsewhere for life insurance.
There are. it is true, many good COM
panies, but none that writes better
contract, or pays as large dividends,
as the Union Central. We have re-
Gently compared the dividends paid
by twenty competing companies, in.
GLIDING the large New York COM
panies, and find that the Union Cen
tral, not only pays the Target divi-
dendsbut charges less premium than
either of the other twenty compa-
nies. The Union Central is certainly
entitled to its well earned reputa-
tion of being the Great Policy-Hold-
ers' Company.

Dear Sir:
Your letter just received. was in

position. / did not say to you that i

me. What / said was that was dis
gusted with politics and did not care
for a third term and that had to neg
lect my business and my property
interests, and then 1 told you about
my farms, etc. / was talking to you
as a friend in a confidential way.
Now while it is true that / do not per-
sonally care for q third term my
friends here will not hear to my step
ping aside and the Republican Coun-
ty Convention held at Urbana last
May endorsed me for a third term and
have never felt at liberty to say to
any one that would not be a candi-
date for third term.
With Kindest Regards,
Yours Very Truly,

JUDGE WARNOCK
NOT OUT OF RACE
Eighth District Congressman Says
He will Positively Be Cdndi-
date for denomination.

Urbans, o., Sept. T.-Congressman
w. hAwarnock, Of this city, will be
candidate for the nomination to repre-
sent the Eighth District in Congress
for the third term.
A story was made public to-day in
which Warnock stated that he would
not be n candidate. This evening Mr.
Warnock positively denied ever giving
authority for such a story, and said
that the story was circulated by his
enemies who have bitter feeling to-
ward the Congressman over the Belle
iontaine postmastership.
A reportered interview Mr. Warnock
this afternoon and he stated that he
did not make the assertion that he
would withdraw from the race, and re-
counted the conversation which led mp
to the alleged statement.
A Bellefontaine man visited Mr..
Warnock Tuesday to try to have the
widow OF the late postmaster, w. w.
Roach, appointed for the Office. To
this man Mr.. Wsrnock stated that he
had made his recommendation, and
while he would like to assist Mrs.
Roach, he could not recommend her
appointment.
He then talked OF the conditions in
Logan county and said that he was
utired OF being hauled and cuffed
about by the two factions OF the Re-
publican party in the county; that he
would do as he saw best and let the
consequences take care OF themselves;
that he had four farms and was presi-
dent of a bank, so that he did not need
the Office il the people saw fit to turn
him down.
uThere are two factions OF the party
in Logan county," said the Judge. 81
saw that could not please both sides,
so / stayed by my friends, those who
stood by me at my first nomination" )"
Judge Warnock stated that he would
positively be a candidate for renomi-
nation in the Eighth District.
The Urbana Citizen commenting on
the published statements, says:
Reading between the lines one can
easily see how one who so willed could
construe lament into a declaration!
Colonel Warnock has been annoyed nc
little by the opportunities OF Republi'
cans OF Bellefontaine over the post
Office appointment. He was consciou:
! from the start that he could satisfy
only one faction, no matter who tn,
appointee might be. 1t is a case o
vbeing damned il he did or damned i
he didn't" There was a degree Of un
reasonableness in the affair that few
men have to contend with. The Who'll,
district is acquainted with the sffsi
so that recital is unnecessary. Unde
these circumstances il is not strang,
that Colonel Warnock should have ex
pressed some doubts as to whether j
paid a man to win a place in Congresi
only to have his life made miserabl,
with the quarrels of men who wer
actuated by malice.
Colonel Warnock's attention wa
called to the published statement tax
ing him out OF the race. He disclaim
ed any intention to convey the i'm
preston that he did not intend to be
candidate. On the contrary his nam
. will be presented to the next distric
convention and he will be voted for a
, a candidate to succeed himself.
