Consistency thou art indeed a
jewel (in Hooking politics.) The
Republican Central committee met
on January 14th., 1905, and in adj
dition to appointing delegates to
all the conventions they heard
mentioned, passed some other
resolutions. The one we wish to
call attention to especially is reso-
luton No. 3, and it reads as fol-
lows:
"We congratulate the people of
the 11th., congressional district of
Ohio, upon the re. election of Hon.
G. II. Grosyenor to congress by
the largest majority ever given in
this district. His long and dis
tinguished service in congress
makes him especially valuable to
his district and to the whole coun-
try and it is our hope that he may
continue to represent this district
for many terms to come" Passed
by Cen. Com. Saturday, Jan. IA,
1905.
Note the wording and strong en-
dorsement and keep in mind that
this was done by the same central
committee, with the same officers
and the same hand guiding it's
movements that controlled it at
it's meeting behind locked doors
on July 8th.
On July 8th., this committee
passed congressional resolution
which reads as follows: :soe. .o.,,c
Resolved; That we present the
name of Hon. John F. White of
Logan, as Hooking County's can
didate for congress from this 11th.
district. AS an evidence of our
confidence and support, we hereby
authorize him to name the Gelega-
tion from this county to the next
congressional convention.
Why this change? Keep these
resolutions in mind. Better pre-
serve the paper and look for more
light next week. We have it and
it will be turned on.

What of Ohio.

The friends of good government
official honesty and public morali-
ty constitute majority of the
voters, even in such a graft and
corruption ridden state as Penn
sylvanla. But unfortunately they
often become so blind that they
refuse to see the admitted crimes
of their party leaders and bosses,
and vote year after year to con-
tinue them in office.
True enough affairs have not
become quite as bad in Ohio as in
Pennsylvania but it is a question
of degree not intention and ten
dency.
What Ohio's bosses and graft
ers have not already seized and
converted, has become located and
only awaits the final act of seques-
tration.
Official corruption, ballot-box
stuffing, and robbery of the pub
lie treasury have long been the
rule in Philadelphia and largely
the whole state of Pennsylvania,
and official honesty and decency
the puny exception.
"If the majority of voters, as
you claim, are honest, why did
they not turn these scoundrels out
of Office long ago!' you ask.
Because the leading Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania, its COVER
nors, its congressman, its United
States Senators, its judges and
its Legislators asked the voters to
keep its Boss "Izzy" Durham In
Ipower, just as the vast majority
of the Ohio Congressman, COVER
nors, senators, leading Republi-
caus, judges and Legislators ask
the honest majority of the Re-
publican party to keep Boss
George B. Cox in power.
Are not the honorable and up
right members of the Republican
! party in Ohio satisfied with the

GETTING Sick7

One by one the universal annexation
lists are becoming weary of the scheme.
Even the Cincinnati Enquirer gags at
Jamaica, for 1t says:
A correspondent writes that jamaica
wants annexation to ''live wire" repub-
lie instead of subsection to an effete mon
archy. THAT sounds like real hot stuff"
exclaims the New York Herald.
Sounds that way perhaps but there. is
nothing in It," Jamaica is a fair coun-
try, and tourists speak of II in high terms
as place to visit. A very large part of
It's population. however, is ignorant, indif-
ferent and without sense of patriotism
just the sort of people to be patient and
listless under selfish British domination
Great Britain owns the island and does
nothing for 1t. There are fine people on
the island. but the undesirable popula-
tion Is SO large that there is no pride or
spirit to revolt, and. of course, England
makes no concessions. No doubt our own
country Is the one alluded to as the Tive
wire republic" Really. though. we would
have no use for SO much dead wire as we
would get with jamaica. We have UNDER
taken as much benevolent assimilation as
we can attend to In many years. Let
Great Britain continue to wrestle with
the jamaica case. The people of that
island need not be worried on account OF
being dependent. They may be sure that
the mother country'-in this case q sort
OF stepmother - will get more than 1t
gives.

all these church actions in the

Let the People Take Hand.

The people having studied the
political situation in Ohio, have
discovered that the one thing
needful to begin with, is for the
voters themselves to exercise their
sovereignty in the management of
public affairs, state and local.
This it is impossible for them to
do as long as "Boss" holds the
dominant party in the hollow of
his hand, makes grating the
chief political industry, aud re-
duces oflice-holding to a 'busi-
ness" system in the mercenary
and commercial sense.
Having finally discovered that
George B. Cox of Cincinnati is the
boss who is exploiting their sub
stance, and who owns majority
of the leaders of the party in the
state absolutely, who compels
state officials and legislatures to
do his bidding, who does not per-
nit any Republican to run for
Office until he gives him his proxy
in advance, "a very large section of
the honest masses of the party
have set out to smash the boss and
all his works.
They must, as matter of fact,
either drive the boss and The
grafters out of the party, or them
selves become participants in the
business of public plunder. 1t is
George B. Cox, as principal, who
is running for all the offices on the
Republican ticket this year. If
you vote to elect either, you vote
to elect both.

Arkansaa and Tennessee.

In Tennessee not much stir is being
made over the governorship, though
Governor Cox, who inherited the posi-
ton when Governor Flazer was elect
ed to the senate, Is an avowed candi-
date to succeed himself. EX-Congress-
man Benjamin Augustine Enloe, now
railroad commissioner, Is considering
the feasibility of entering the race. He
Is fighter from the head waters Of
Bitter creek, and If he determines to
try for it there will be something
doing.
Though the gubernatorial matter Is
attracting little attention, everybody
Is on the Qui vive as to the senatorial
| succession. Hon. e. w. Carmack
wants another term, and Hon. Robert
l.. Taylor, eX-congressman and eX-
governor, Is determined that he shall
not have II. Hence the Tennesseeans,
from the Father of Waters to North
Carolina, are lining up, choosing part
ners and fixing for such feast Of
reason and flow of soul as 1t is given
to the Genizens of few states to en-
joy. Whether these two WORTHLESS will
tour the state separately or in joint
discussion doth not yet appear, but If
they 60 into a joint discussion ar.
rangement the country will ring with
echoes of their wit, logic and elo-
| quence. Such performance would be
worth a journey across the continent

wrought up than she has been since

White House, won the scnatorship aft

Republican Paper Bolts tIerrlck.

There is not Republican in the
state of Ohio who does not blush
for shan at the condition of our
state politics at the present time.
Cox the bum and pimp of Cincin-
natl, has the present administra-
tion under his keeping, body and
soul and it is the deepest chagrin
that the friends of Senator Dick
find him standing in awe of the
Cincinnati Boss. Party success
does not depend upon bowling to
the dictates of the most brutal ex-
ample of mankind that has ever
appeared on the surface of Ohio
politics.
Leaving the question of Cover
nor Herrick's connection with the
saloon element aside, it seems to
be the duty of all who would res
cue the party from the degrada-
tion into which it has fallen to re-
buke the present administrator
by defeating Herrick. This seems
to'us the only way to rid the party
of the shameful position into
which it has been permitted to
fall by our present leaders. Her
rick is go anxious to become
presidential possibility that he is
willing to do anything to be re.
elected. But his reelection, in
our Judgment, would be disastrous
to the high ideals of our party
politics, We have been hoping
against hope that some evidence
would appear that the administra-
tion was not under the control of
Cox, but it becomes clearer every
day that Herrick scarcely draws
breath without permission from
Cincinnati. Telephone messages
pass and repass between Columbus
and the river city, and there is
not a point in the campaign which
does not first receive the sanction
of Cox before being accepted.
We urge, therefore, voters to
stand by the rest of the ticket, but
to bury Herrick so deep under
sea of condemnation for his al
lance with Cox that he shall fill
the Judgment of outraged decency.

III sas without even the shadow
of doubt. Recently l went on
n lecture tour through those three
great states and closely observed the
political situation. At BarDesville. Ca,
where l spoke before the Chautauqua
on the glorious Fourth, was intro
duced to the audience by Governor
Terrill In as happy speech as l ever
heard, n speech eloquent with burning
patriotism and packed with good sense.
The burden OF his remarks was that
the southern people of all our citizens
have the greatest reason for celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the Declaration
Of Independence, because southern
statesmen and soldiers contributed
most to establish the republic and to
feet on this continent. It's pity that
his opportune and thrilling speech
could not be printed in every newspa-
per and speech book in the land.
'Twould do world of good. Govern
or Terrill is handsome capable gen
tleman in the flower of his years and
is just beginning his second term in
the gubernatorial chair. More, much
more, will be heard of him in public
life or miss my guess.
Strange to tell, while Governor Ter
rill has two years more to serve the
state is in turmoil as to the success
sion. Hon. Hoke Smith, ex-secretary
Of the interior, has SHE'D his caster into
the gubernatorial ring and is stump
ing the state Of Oglethorpe, William
II. Crawford, Bob Toombs, Alexander
II. Stephens, Ben Hill and Henry w.
Grady in a way that is stirring up the
natives. Mr.. Smith is running as re-
former. The candidate whom he seems
to be after most eagerly and who Is
after him most eagerly is Hon. Clark
Howell, editor of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, who pours editorial broadsides,
double shotted and bitter as gall, into the
Honorable Hoke day after day. Smith
replies in kind in his speeches, and
there is blood on the moon. Everybody
Is agog from the Atlantic to the Ten
nessee border. Smith and Howell are
both men of national reputation, and
the contest will attract universal atten-
ton. In the meantime Hon. Joe Hill
Hall claims that both Smith and How
ell have stolen his reform platform and
insists that he is the man to run on it.
So he is running. Colonel Estill, the
wealthy Savannah editor who made a
creditable race against Governor Ter
rill for the nomination two years ago,
is in the fight once more, and far
stranger things have happened than his
winning, not only by reason of his own
strength, but by the intense bitterness
engendered between Smith and How
