Chronicle.
We take pleasure in stating that the
meetings we addressed at Kilgore and
Harlem, last Friday and Saturday even
ings, were largely attended by both Dem
ocrats and Republicans, with fair at
tendance of ladies. Excellent attention
was given throughout, and good order
prevailed. The Free Press, Of course,
wanted it otherwise.

HANCoCK's LETTER ON SOUTH
ERN WAR CLAIMS.
A Conclusive Letter that Gives an Additional
Assurance Of Victory.


Assurance Of Victory.
Gen. Hancock's admirable letter will
be found on the first page of this paper
II com pels the Republican press to aban-
don the issue of the war claims, and the
luck less Republican National Committee
is soundly abused for causing the can
vass turn upon ground-never tenaSle,
and certain TO be cut from under the
feet ofthe party The New York Times
saws the letter is conclusive that Han
cocks assurance is one every intelligent
citizen, whatever his politics, will re-
ioice to receive, and that the country
must now devote itself to other issues.
The New York Evening Post takes the
same view as the Times, in even stronger
language. The Newport [R. l., News
(Republcan), says HanCock's letter does
honor to the Democratic candidate. The
New York Tribune says; mo doubt
Gen. Hancock means all he Gays when
he promises his Veto"
The independent press is unanimous
in praise of the letter, and in ridiCuling
the plight of the Republican party; while
the Democratic papers are enthusias ic
over the force, wisdom and clearness of
Gen. Hancock's reply to Mr., Cock. The
Herald advises the Republicans to regard
the dictates of common decency, and
drop the rebel war claims business, and
try to conceal how badly frightened they
are The New York Truth says: with
this letter th9 last hope of the Republi.
can party dies out. As sure as the sun
rises in the east tomorrow, Gen, Han
cock will be the next President of the
United States" The World says Han
cock has given notice that the business
of pressing claim, growing out of the
war, ended fifteen years ago, has gone as
far as honesty and the interest of the
taxpayers will permit
The Sun says the straightforward let
ter puts an end forever to one of the
most foolish pretensions of the Garfield
party. The New York Star asks the Re-
publican papers to consider this letter,
which skaters their cam paign "bugbear'
into fragments, as sufficient evidence of
what pitiless hard hitter Hancock is,
and asks If there is any other question
on which they wish to draw his fire.
The Sunday Mercury, the NeaOS, the Sun
day Times and other newspapers treat
this subject in asimiar view,

JuDGE l.. d, THoMAN

Concluded hi series of meetings in this
county at Minerva yesterday, speaking
there in the afternoon with A. W. Pat
rick and ]. ]. Sullivan. The meeting,
we learn, was large, and able speeches
were made aud great enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The sentiment is that Ohio will
do as Maine did, only more so.
At Louisville, on Tuesday evening, the
Judge held rousing meeting, Tne
Louisville band blew their cheeriest airs,
and Judge Thoman's remarks were fire.
ouently interrupted with applause.
Judge Thoman's meeting in the Can
ton Opera House last Saturday evening,
was far ahead in numbers and enthusi-
asm, to that of Judge Matthews.
At Hartyille, last Friday evening, the
Judge had also fine meeting.
His meeting at Waynesburg on Thurs
day evening was we'll attended, and his
remarks were we'll received Our Re-
publican friends at Waynesburg gave
the Judge careful attention.
At MassiIon on Monday evening at
Pigeon Run on Tuesday evening ; at Ma
varre on Wednesday evening, last week,
the Judge had rousing and successful
meetings.
Judge Thoman has made friends in our
county wherever he has been; and we
are confident the people of the district
would make happy change if they
would defeat the third term champion
from Maine, and elect L. D. Thoman. 1t
would be difficult to find a man in Con-
gress the past four years who has been
of less account than VIM. Mckinley jr.
The M. c., who is so contemplate as to
dodge voting on an important question
like the Chinese question, is not worthy
to be returned for a third term
We are confident Judge Thoman, if
elected, would not dodge voting on i'm
portant measures involving interests i'm
portant to the people. No man with
lack of backbone stamina no man lack
ing moral courage to stand for the right
and for the interests of labor, should be
sent to Congress. In such emergencies
Judge Thoman would be on hand for
duty. He would not dodge the Chinese
question.
We say, vote for L. D. THOMAN for
Congress, against Mckinley, the lodging
| Chinese member.

The Republicans held meeting in
their new wigwam on Walnut street on
Saturday evening, and were addressed
by Gen. Beaver, from Pennsylvania.
We do not learn that this General set
the Nimshillen creek on fire He did
inspire r. A. Cassiday, we learn, who
sprang to his feet when Beaver reached
the platform, and swinging his hat over
his head, yelled out-"Three cheers for
General BeaverP
As Robert seemed to be the only excl
ted man there, no cheers came, and the
excited man had it all to himself. The
poor fellow after time retired, looking
very foolish.

The Massillon Independeat says M. M.
King Esq, our candidate for County Au-

Mr. King happened to be in Massillon
last week, the evening Of the meeting Of
the Democratic club there, and spoke.
His remarks we're well received, and we
are informed he acquitted himself with
credit. He did not sound Chinese
gong, nor yet bawl for 329.

The old Democratic doctrine OF states
rights is better understood by the term,
"home rule" 1t means the people of a
township and city should choose their
own officials to manage their local affairs,
instead of having them appointed by
Governor or President. So the people
of county should choose their county
officials, and 80 the people of state
should manage their state affairs by the

THAT THE republicans consider the
situation as desperate is shown by the
fact that the members of the party in
poor, little, insignificant Utah have
lately been called upon to squeeze
their purses still again and press cut
little more money for the general
corruption fund. The frightened
fellows here, and particularly the
federal offceholders. are fairly Tan
nerizing themselves in order TO send
their scant savings TO Jewell. II the
rich republicans OF the east knew
how oppressive we're their demands
upon the thin purses of the Utah
radicals, they would dig deeper into
their own pockets before sending any
more appeals to the desperately
frightened fellows out this way.
Truly, Mr.. Jewell, the Utah Tepubli-
cans are not in a condition to respond
very heartily to your calls, and
our federal officials are barely able.
