paper eloquence that will make ul
good Democrats even this far off
unite in the wish that the gentleman
eulogized m«y be nominated and
elected:
“It having been reported upon ap¬
parently good authority that Seneca
county will not present a candidate
to the Carey convention, it is meet
that the county which holds op much
the larger end of the Democrat log in
the Eighth District should have a
choice. The voice of Seneca's Dem¬
ocracy most be beard and heeded,
and it ia the purpose of the Advertis¬
er on this auspicious occasion to
tains a man upon whom all can
unite—a man the mention ot whose
name will electrify the convention
and cause the aspirants of every oth
er candidate to wither and shrink
within itself like the petals of the
modest morning-glory under the
rays of a Jane sun—a man whose
merits are as conspicuous as the
mountain peaks and whorefnultsare
as obscure as the microscopic die inius*
oria which are born and within
an hour—a man whose Jovean brow
is clothed with the lightning of un¬
sullied purpose as he sits upon his
Olympian throne and rules with
masier hand—a man who, in every
thought and word, is as pure as
Diana, and whose long and useful
life has crowned him with the green’
est laurels and raised him as a mon¬
ument which the meanest may wor¬
ship and the best seek to emulate.
There is but one such man in the
Eighth District, and it seems scarce¬
ly necessary to say that bis name is
Dobert D.Dumm, of Upper Sandusky,
known best among those who enjoy
the inestimable boon of his familiar
acquaintance as “Bob.” Robert is a
Democrat from the soles of his Wyan¬
dot county feet to the last hair that,
in single loneliness, plays with the
wanton breezes tbatkiss bis Jackson¬
ian brow. He has been a Democrat
since those early days when, u bare¬
foot youth, he sat with the great Te-
cmnseh on the shady banks of the
classic Sanduskey and discussed the
most abstruse problems of political
policy. He will always be a Demo¬
crat, and we can assure the people ot
the Eighth Congressional District
that the first note of Gabriel’s cornet
solo will find him advocating the
cause of the masses and hnrling
(mathematical defiance at monopoly
and centralized government. Elect
“Bob” Duaam to Congress and the
bright sun of Democracy will once
more cast its effulgent rays over a
land redeemed from the thraldom of
wrong, and bright, happy and pros¬
perous.
“Having thus spoken of the bright¬
est jewel in the crown of Eighth
District Democracy, we leave him in
the hands of the Convention, feeling
assured that they will recognize his
merit and place in his hands the
standard ander whose folds we will
march onward to a great and gior-
ious victory.
“Robert, we’re with you!”

Council Prooeedlnirs.
The city council met yesterday
afternoon at the usual hour. Present,

dermen Deane, Burr, Hudson, Pat¬
rick and Moore. Minutes of last

A communication was read from

street, which was also the opinion of
several of his brother councilman, so
the matter was referred to the Light
Committee.

Tbs Correct Use ot Million.
The word “million’’ signifies either a
thousand thousands, or an indefinitely
huge number, ae the case may be—for
instance, you may say, “five million
people," or “millions of money.” Strict¬
ly speaking, in the first case “millian,"
and not “millions,” is correct. In the
phrase, “He is worth five millions,” the
word “millions” is used in the indefinite
tense, ss “thousands” is in the phrase,
‘He is worth thousands.” As a rule,
one should say “five million” wherever
“five thousand” or “five hundred” would
be used in speaking of a smaller num¬
ber. -Writer._
