Democracy Still Lives.

There is much discussion as to the
causes of the late political cyclone
and as to the future of the Democra-
tic party. Some insist that the re-
suit was due to dissatisfied Demo.
Gratis. Others believe that it was
owing to satisfied Democrats. Both
sets may be held responsible, for In
either event the voter might stay
at home, or ii ne turned out would
vote to let things 'stay as they were.
Some wiseacres have already
buried the Democratic party and are
speculating on the new organization
that will take it's place.
Let an old-timer, who has seen
his party "burief' a great many
times, recall some political history
for the benefit of the disheartened
AMI he will not go beyond elections
happening in his day and generation.
In 1852 Pierce. the Democratic
candidate, defeated General Scott
overw whelmlngly. Scott carried on
ly four states. Some of them by
bare majorities. In two years-in
1854 the Democratic party was
swept out of existence in almost
every state the Union. 1t was
"buried." In 1855 it rallied and
elected Buchanan over Fremont
In 1872 Grant defeated Greely--
Greedy carrying only six states
We were again "buried'- especial.

Republican protectionista at the head
Of our ticket. Yet in 1874 we swept
the country, carrying everything be-
fore us in state and congressional
elections, electing almost two thirds
of the Lower House of Congress. IT.
1876 we elected Tilden, but Hayes
was counted in by one vote, his
managers having stolen the vote OF
Florida, South Carolina and Louisa
ma. In 1878 we carried both Houses
of Congress.

looks more decisive, but it is not

within two years. 1t was the same

che of votes. Yet in 1874 Clay, the
favorite Whig leader, was defeated
by Polk, an unknown quantity in
national politics.
Friends, the Democratic party is
never buried" And it is capable
OF surviving blunders as we'll as de-
feats.
We have only to maintain oul
principles, be true to the organiza'
tion, keep the faith alive, do righ'
aid trust to the people. We have
been at some funerals, but they were
not Democratic. Above all let us
cultivate harmony, and put behind
us the factionists, faultfinders ol

JupeE Wright's wonderful run
is much talked OF in State politics.
He ran 1400 ahead Of his ticket in
Hooking, 200 in Yinton, 400 in
Gallia and 900 in Meigs. In Fair
field, the home Of his opponent, he
ran but 200 behind his ticket.
The Judges friends are anxious
for him to be the candidate for
Representative in Hooking next
year. Fred Bright assisted in
turning Judge Wright out, and
now for the Judge to go after Fred
on his second term. We need
such as Judge Wright in the Leg.
islature, to help make Democracy
felt.

Logan Steam Laundry.

One of the most thriving and
up-to-date industries which is be-
ing pursued in our town, and one
which is giving perfect satisfac-
tion to its increasing number of
patrons is the Logan Steam Laun-
dry under the management of Mr-
Clarence Montgomery. Since the
removal into the new location one
door east of the City building, the
proprietor has spared no pains to
secure the best of everything in
fitting up his place of business
with the latest and best improve
ments in this line, and the large
patronage which he is receiving
from our people is sure sign that
he has succeeded in giving salts
faction.
Nine new machines have been
installed, and about two hundred
shirts can now be washed, dried,
dampened and ready for ironing
in little over two hours. Special
machinery is used for the ironing
process, and also several small
machines for the turning and
shaping of collars and cuffs. Any
kind of gloss may be produced
on these articles either high, medi-
um or domes tic finish, which has
no gloss. From the time the arti-
Gle comes into the laundry until its
return to the owner forty two diff
ferent operations are undergone.
A visit to the laundry is both in
teresting and instructive, and it is
surprising how much care and at
tention is required to be given to
each piece. The laundry business
like all others is constantly under
going improvements, and Mr..
Montgomery Is an energetic, hust-
ling young man who may be de-
pended upon to give to his patrons
the advantages of everything in
the market in his line of business.
The Logan laundry is an industry
which should be patronized by
every person who desires good
work and courteous and fair treat
ment, and who wishes to see home
industries prosper.

He was united in marriage to
Mary E. Banter December 1st.,
1870. To this union were born 4
children, one son and three daugh-
ters, all of whom survive him.
The deceased was kind father,
a loving husband, and an obliging
neighbor. He was honest and up
right in his dealings with his fell
lowmen. He was one of Hooking
County's most successful school
teachers, he served as school ex-
aminer of Hooking Co., for num-
Der OF years. He always had a
kind word for those whom he met.
He was respected by all who knew
him and was member of the M.
E. Church for several years; and
during the last few years of his
life he was an active worker in the
church and Sabbath School. He
bore his afiliction, which lasted for
several months, with Christian for
titude never murmuring or COM
planning. He expressed himself
! several times during his sickness
as being ready and willing to go
when the Master called for him.
And when the time came he calm
ly and peacefully passed away.
Brother Frank will be missed in the
home, church, and Sabbath School,
and in, the community. There
will be vacant chair which never
can be filed in this world, but we
know that our loss is his eternal
gain. He leaves to mourn his loss
a wife, four children one grand
child, three brothers and host of
other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Ward after which his re-
mains were laid to rest In the lies
boro cemetery.
Father, thou art sweetly sleeping,
Free from pain and toll and care,
Dearest father how We miss thee,
MISS thee In this home OF ours.
Thou wilt sleep but not forever,
Jesus died and rose again;
soon he'll come in cor DIS of glory,
Thou VIII rise with him to reign.
Father, then we hope to meet thee,
Then woll take thee by the hand,
Then we'll twine our arms around thee
In that bright and happy land.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to publicly thank our
many friends and neighbors for the
kindness and sympathy shown us
during our sad bereavement.

A very unique party was given
on last Friday evening by Miss
Eva Harrington in honor of her
birthday anniversary. About a
dozen of her intimate friends had
been invited, and came dressed in
the costumes of childhood. Child
ren's games were played during
the evening, and everything in the
dining room, from the birthday
cake with its candles to the ami
mails and flowers made of ices, was
suggestive of the occasion. The
guests departed wishing Miss
Harrington maly happy returns
of the dayand declaring the eve
ming with their childhood friends
one of the happiest they had ever
spent.

He Landed Him.

Sheriff Thomas had a daring
experience last week. George
Collins had stolen some money
AMI Sheriff Thomas has been af-
ter him for some time. Last week
he got wind that George was in
Oreton. The Sheriff went there,
and with the boss of clay mines
searched the banks, but no Col
Inns. Then Sheriff Jim, not to be
baffled, took a bank lamp and
went through the mines alone.
Far back in the bank he noticed q
ledge Of clay COB that formed q
shelf next to the roof of the rooms
and searching back on one of these
ledges he saw his man hiding.
Jim aimed his gun back in there
and said, "Come FORTH" And
Collins said, ooh, Lord, don't
shoot; I'm coming" The sheriff
is now boarding the prisoner.

Not since the traditional cats of fra

Ter Grout nominated. and for time he
had Mr.. Hills ostensible SUPPORT for
Grout. Judge Parker and Hill went bact
on McCarren; the former to placate
Charles f. Murphy and Tammany. and
the latter because he couldn't hel3 him
self.
Tammany accepted Herrick because II
was willing to accept anybody who stood
for the discontinue OF Boss McCarren.
As a tomahawk in the hands of Charles
+. Murphy with which to dispatch Nc
Carren, d. Cady Herrick would serve
Tanlmany much better than either SheD-
ard or Jerome.
Besides, did not Judge Herricl,'s career
on the bench present sterling claims on
the admiration and necessities of Tam
many? His abuse Of his judicial posi-
ton to the political exigencies in Albany
Is along the line of what Tammauy CON
siders the higher walks Of politics. More
over has he not practically parloned an

would so act as judge, What prodiries

perform as governor? So Tammany droD-
ped Mayor Mcclellan and swallowed
Herrick and his record with genuine rel
ish and noisy gusto.
Not so, however, the Democratic press
of New York City. The WORLD takes
its medicine with evident nausea: the
TIMES turns Herrick's picture to tho
wall and fixes its gaze on Judge Parker.
with the reflection that one honorable
nomination in four years is as far as the
New York Democracy can be expected to
pander to the somewhat blunted moral
sentiment of its constituency The
EVENING POST openly repudiates
Herrick, saying that a proper regard for
its own reputation forbids giving him
the negative support of silence.
From this brief resume it may be
gathered that the elements for harmo-
nious Democratic campaign in New York
are all that could be desired-frOm a
Republican point of view.

The Democratic assertion that FRO

tax on the American consumer. IS best
refuted By examining the effect OF pro
lection on the tin plate industry. W hen
the Mckinley bill was passed nine-tenths
of all the tin used in this country was
manufactured abroad. To-day the manu-
facture Of tin is one of the most impor-
tant of our home industries. contributing
millions of dollars annually to our ma
tional wealth. But this is the least part
of the story. in so far as the tariff IS
concerned-the price of tin began to go
down in proportion as the United States
began TO produce it, and the American
consumer has never paid under the Nc
Kinley tin tariff anywhere near as much
per pound for tin plate rs he paid when
tin was on the free list.

1t has been given out to the fOrlorn
and dropping Democracy that willie
Hearst is loosening up; that he has
been induced to put in a few thousands
to open headquarters for the National
Democratic Clubs. The hungry know
well that this means that Hearst aspires
to be a candidate again, but they are not
worrying about 1908 now.
-Four years ago Hearst was presi-
dent and footer of bills for the National
Democratic Clubs The members met,
if memory serves Alright, at Indianapolis,
expecting to greet their president. But
he sent one of his hired men to receive
the greetings Of his admirers. This
dampened the ardor of the crowd de-
spite the fact that their fare back home
was paid. The November election set
tied the whole concern, but it seems that
the n. d. C. is to be resurrected, what
little there is left of its ashes.
