ANTI-MoKINLEY REPUBLICANS.
Their Defense against the Charge OF "Sore-
ayurv headism,'

~TH-~
Their Defense a gainst the Charge o f"sore'
headism'
A pamphlet of 10 pages has been issued
by the Anti-McKinley Republicans, ad
dressed ITO the Republican voters of the
goth District"
This pamphlet ably reviews the career
of William Mckinley, Jr,, and shows his
double dealing and treachery.
In 1875 Mckinley beat Woodwork for
a third term urging II was against the
presidents and rules Of the party for
Woodwork TO seek a third term.
In 1880, though running for a third
term, Mr.. Mckinley claimed II was for
hie second term In his old district.
Aided by Cornelius Aultman, he got
Judge Laubie to withdraw as a candi-
date, Mr.. Mckinley agreeing not to be a
candidate In 1882,
In the winter Of 1882 Judge Laubie
announced himself a candidate. Ru-
mOrs were rife that Mckinley would
run again, and j. l.. Stanley, Esq, Of
Washington township, Stark county,
addressed Mckinley on the subject, and
in answer received the following;
House ON REPRESENTATIVES,, U, s.,
WASHINGTON, d. C., Feb, s, 1882,
j, L. STANLEY, Freeburg, o.:
My DEAR SIR-Your favor Of the I'd
inst, Ia ht hand, You can say, on my
authority, that | am under no promise
with any one, not to DO q candidate for
Congress In 1882.
Very truly yours,
W. MCKINLEY, JR,
The a~Aldayits are given Of N. b. Bill.
lingsley, Esq; L, L, Gilbert, Esq, DR.,
Frank P. Moore, n cousin Of Mckinley;
r, V. Hampson; ]. A, Kerr; W. G. Hutch
inson; Alex, Lowry; James G. Moore and
Henry Il. Frost, oil prominent and rep.
utable citizens Of Columbiana county.
The pamphlet says: I'm rebuttal Of
this formidable array Of proof, McKin-
Icy was only able to offer the statement
OF Cornelius Aultman, who says no
don't believe he did make the agree
ment."
The pamphlet then shows McKinley's
booming tactics at their State Conven-
ton and their National Convention, all
"by the aid Of the Canton ring, with Cor
nelius Aultman at Its head" McKln.
ley's artful lodging at the National
Convention, between Sherman and
Blaine, Ia well shown up.
Mckinley, as q champion OF prOtec'
tlon," Ia we'll riddled. II charges that
he contributed largely to reduce the tar
IN on wool; that no procured the ap'
pOintment Of Judge Amber as one Ct
tho Tariff Commission, who was not on
advocate of high tariff; that "CoL Hill,
of East Liverpool, furnished the brains
of the great Mckinley tariff speech
about three years ago; that the me
Klnley tariff bill" was really the work
of Amos Townsend, Of Cleveland; that
Through the whole OF his seven years
In Congress, We fail to find q single
measure, Mr.. Mckinley originated and
successfully carried through for the
benefit OF his country or his district
We extract:
"And now before leaving the tariff
record Of this self styled champion OF
Protection" We wish TO call attention
TO another remarkable fact. When the
Wallace-McAinley contest was begun,
the Mckinley organs OF the district and
the subeidiz5d press OF Cleveland were
filled with eloquent predictions that he
would be 0usted at the beginning Of the
term, by the Free Trade Democratic
House because Of HIS being such u
champion Of Protection" But not 30
The case was allowed to daily along un
I'll nearly the last day Of the first soa
alon, before q decision was reached.
Now II Mr., Mckinley had been such u
dangerous enemy TO free trade, 40 no
would have his constituents believe, ~
II not reasonable TO conclude that free
trade Democratic Congress" would have
"ared him out" at the beginning OF the
session, ~ they could easily have d0DoY
But The most curious feature OF this
very remarkable case, In the fact that
when the Anal vote was taken, every.
Democrat whose vote was recorded Tor.
Mckinley was u Free Trader, with.
Frank Hurd TO head the c0lumnll Per-
haps Mckinley aud his friends maylb BIO.
able TO account for II, but we confess
we can't.
The pamphlet falls to mud In him o
friend of temperance reform" He was
one Of the escort with the remains OF the
murdered Garfield, who were we'll sup
piled with b%randios, whiskies, etc ana
several were disgracefully drunk,
The Yorktown junheting affair was
equally ~disgraceful, and Mckinley vot-
cd 10 pay II too, without u word. Here
Mckinley gave no evidence Of temper
anoo oratory, We again extract:
