THE MCKINLEY CLUB
Secures the Services OF Attorneys 10
Bolster Up the sophistrIes Of
High Protection Ono
They Couldn't Get ..s

The Mckinley Club met last night at
their headquarters In the saxtOn Block
with about sixty members present,
Attorney Ralph y, Amber was book
ed for 4 speech, but he WAS absent on
legal business aud his place was filled
by Frank w BabcOck OF the legal de-
partment Of q, Aultman a Co.'S works
Mr. liabeoek formerly lived In Indiana
out moved 10 this county some tine
ago He thought that he was getting
into Republican county but he had
now discovered that he was living In q
Democratic county and that WAS the
only wicked thing that he has ever been
guilty Of In his life, He spoke about
twenty minutes, telling the club how
popular Harrison was In Indiana and
predicting u majority for him OF 1900.
lie gave the mouldy chestnut that the
state had been gerrymandertd by q
Democratic legislature 80 as 10 prevent
the election OF u Republican United
states Senator, but Gen. Harrison was
80 popular that he carried the Legislature
but was left because the Democrats
ousted enough Republicans In that
branch 10 make the legislature Demo
cratic on Joint ballot. The gentleman
failed, however TO tell the club that the
only time Harrison was before the pe0
pie directly In Indiana was when he
run for Governor In 1876 and he was
beaten by over 5000 majority, After
paying q glowing tribute 10 high wal
tariff taxes he closed his remarks and
was greeted with applause,
DR., Cock, the Republican candidate
for Coroner, was called for and he re
sponded, The doctor seemed 10 think
tnat Harrison was going 10 be elected
because Of q straw vote taken the other
day on an excursion train 70 the en-
campment at Columbus. There were 20(
Republicans and only about twenty
Democrats, lie also pald II high tribute
