WALLACE VS.. MCKINLEY.

The Mckinley organs do not seem to
be aware that all done thus far In the
Congressional contest, is the taking of
testimony to submit to Congress when
it shall convene. The House Is the cOuFt
to decide the case, not Mckinley or any
of his henchmen, or hirelings, or organs.

been and are hlled with false tales and
claims about votes made here and there
for their master. They are working
with view to sympathy, and to resusl

more votes in that Republican strong

subpenaed to Minerva and were on

they were quite willing Mckinley should
hold all the illegal votes he could.

At MassillOn they had subDOenaed

Billy would have been required on cross
