As above stated the town has never
grown fast but substantially, and
property increases in double value
each year. 1t now has twenty-five
nice brick stores: two banks. viz: the
First National Bank of OPP and the
CovingtOn County Bank: a $4,000

given to show that the selection Of
a democratic candidate is d matter

in the selection it is not fair that one

cred. There are democrats in every
state in the union In many of the
states they have often fought without
hope but they are none the less de
serving of consideration. Democratic
platforms should be made and demo
cratic candidates should be selected
with a view to strengthening the
party's position all over the country,
not with a view to pleasing any one
section or any one element of the
party.
Let us enter the next convention

vance its interests only by advancing
the interests of the country. Let us
enter upon the selection of candidates
not with a view of gratifying ANY
mans ambition or of complimentary

with a desire to select candidates
who voice the sentiments of the rank
and file of the party and who, if cleo
ted, will strengthen the party's hold
upon the country by proving the party
deserving of public confidence. If
the most available man is a southern
man. let our candidate be from the
south. If the most available man is
a northern man, let him be from the
north. If the east presents the most
available man, let him be from the
east. If the west can furnish the
most available man, let him be from
the west. The real democrat from
any section will poll more votes IN
any other section than one whose de-
mocracy is certified to by Wall street

public that even many republicans
are trying to get away from their in
