RecolIections of 1910.

Hon. James P. Root of Illinois, in 8
recent letter, says:
There seems to be a general renewal
just now, all along the line. of the cam.
paign of 1910. At that time the country
was depressed; trade was DULL our fac.
tories were closed; the farmer could get
nothing for his products. General Jack.
a son had been president for eight years,
and had dictated his successor, Martin
VanBuren, his secretary of state He
came into power in the spring Of 1887,
with free trade not;ons--a free trade
policy. A panic ensued that ruined the
country; everybody was wrecked; the
public deposits were removed, and ruiz
stared everybody in the face.
Illinois became bankrupt state and
every county and city forfeited its honor
The avenues of trade, commerce and az.
riculturc became strewed with wrecks.
Desolation prevailed everywhere. The
price of land went down, and in proper
ton to population the panic of 1857 wac
nothing, compared with the panic OF
1887. With one exception, 1873, every
panic has occurred under q democratic
administration. In 1887 under Van Blu
rem, in 1S47 under Polk, and this excep
ton, 1878, when the democrats carried
the congress of the United States. Un.
der whig or republican rule there has
never been panic. Let it be assumed
today that Cleveland and free trade are
to dominate and you will have the worst
panic of all. We don't have it because
the people are waiting, holding, till the
election is over.
A rail straightener IN Chicago gets $40
a day-in Europe, 81. In Chicago flour
is S. per barrel. in Europe Sc. The rail
straightener works half day for bar
rel of flour in America, and in Europe
days. Other kinds of labor are in about
the same proportion. | have the facts
and figures to show this.
In 1910. the people were disguised
with the business and Harrison was
elected triumphantly. as his grandson
will be on the same issue.
| remember in 1910, riding through
Ohio, pending the campaign-the people
had got disguised with Van Buren, and
free trade. Log cabins were everywhere.
The cry was Americal remember in
Buffalo, 1910, the election In those
days the election lasted three DAYS. I car
ried a torch in Buffalo in honor OF old
Tippecanoe. l have now four boys. who
will carry torches for young Tippe-
canoe.
We stopped over night at Ashtabula.
Ohio, marvellous singer was there-a
boy of Il. He sung "Tippecanoe and
Tyler, too,' He was marvel then as
boy. Fifteen years later met that boy
in Chicago, always a republican, always
ready to sing for America. Doyou know
who that boy was? Well, when the re-
bellion was rampant that boy appeared
before thousands of loyal people as Old
Shady, and his name was Frank LON
bard. If Franks spirit could come back
he would revive the Ashtabula song and
we would still March On

The Dog-Fennel Ticket.

Everybody wants to know what Colo
mel IngersolI meant at Chicago by call
ing Cleveland and Thurman the ''dog-
fenneP' candidates. 1t has been sup
posed by some that he really said dog
kennel candidates, meaning merely an
expression of contempt; but the Press is
happy to state that Colonel Ingersoll did
not say this or mean this, and that he
had no int ton of setting a bad exam
pie by singing campaign mud. The ex-
preston ''dog-fenueP' has a historic
sense in the sense in which Colonel In
gersoll used it.
During the war of the rebellion the
Knights of the Golden Circle, a copper
head organization that extended over
several States in the Mississippi Valley,
used to drill in back lots, where the ugly
weed known as "dog-fennep' grew, be-
cause they were ashamed TO drill in the
public streets or conspicuous part of the
town. James K Magic, then of the
Canton CHI Register, denounced a local
company or the GOIden OIrCIe huIguts
by the epithet Of ''Dog-Fennel Rangers, 4"
which some village genius had applied
to them by happy inspiration.
The nickname took from the start. 1t
became the synonym for copparheads in
all that region, and Colonel Ingersoll,
then a resident of the neighboring coun-
ty of Peoria, heard it and sailed it down
in his vocabulary of gems of eloquence.
What was more natural than that he
should apply it to the ticket composed
of Cleveland, who stayed at home
during the war, and Thurman, whose
copperhead sympathies were notorious?
No, the name ''Dog-Fennei Ticket" is
not mud 1t is wax, and it will stick

Above All in the South.


Above all in the South, whose noun
tains but lust feel the pick whose val
eys begin to be clouded with The smoke
of the furnace and whose waste places
CLEAN with factory windows, row on
row-this nomination opens the doors to
its States long estran1d from protee-
ton. Let them return TO the faith of
their fathers. Let them add to the old
column of protection the States which
once believed with Henry Clay and voted
for the elder Harrison. We give them q
candidate born of that great stream of
emigration with which Virginia mother
of States and of Presidents, made popu-
lous her imperial gift TO the Nation. He
is of their line and lineage, bred of their
stock and came of their descent. Against
him or his past utterances no Southerner
can say ought. His nomination is re-
ceived at the South as no republican
nomination before has been. He repre-
sents the American system, which knows
no North and South. Let its Southern
friends make him an American President
chosen to support protection through ali
the land and for ali the inhabitants there

brings smile TO the face of the free
trade dreamer, but / make it with some
practical experience backing up my as
sertion. Why is it that no oil com peny
can exist here, and com pete with the
Standard Oil Company? For the same
reason exactly that will prevent Ameri-
can manufacturers from competing
successfully in the market against Eng
lish manufacturers. Their establish
ments are organized upon the basis of
five or ten pounds to one dollar. Open
our ports free to English steel and iron
manufacturers and in three months our
markets will be just as every competitor
against Standard Oil Company has found
their market-knocked eudwise. Why
does not the American workman in the
cigar trade, in boots and shoes, and a
hundred other things hold his own on the
Pacific Slope? Because he can not, and
all the theories this side of kingdom
come will not help him. He has been
brought into competition with a class
who were born under and content with
very different conditions of life, and the
abandonment, almost entirely, of the
Pacific Slope to Cinnamon by oar light
trades people Is fitting illustration of
this captivating theory of free trade pans

"What do you think of the Republican
nominee?"
II do not like him any better than the
Law permits me to, but [ have too much
of my old time sympathy with labor to
swallow The Democratic platform, indoors
ed either by the Cleveland message or
the Mills bill. l have talked with many
of my old associates here in the rolling
mills and they all seem to heartily agree
with me. They know she right chute
to take, because they have seen some of
the effects in the last eight or ten years
of tam pering with the tariff and ought to
and has no doubt, taught them something
judging from the action of the Amalga-
mated Association OF Iron and Steel
Workers of joining in a body the Pro

THE MARIETTA CENTENNIAL

Addresses by Judge Cassidy anu Prof j. D.
Butler, of Madison.
MARIETTA, o., July 16.-The thunder of
heavy artillery from the hili-top5 about
Marietta and the screaming of several
hundred steam whistles this morning an
nounced the dawning of day, the begin
ming of the regular exercises of the ceie-
bration of thu centennial anniversary of
the origin of civil government in
the west. The sound OF the sa
lutes seem to summon this part
of the world to life, for the sun
had already risen before the picturesque
river valleys converging toward this love
ly and historical old city. The crowds
that gathered here early in tbs morning
were entertained by glittering street
pageant, led by Gov. Foraker and staff,
with a detachment of United States regu-
lars, under Col. Kellogg, q. S. A. The
Ohio militia were present and a
large number of civil organ
izations took part in the
parade. At II o'clock the spacious audi
forum building was thronged, and the
1000 or 5000 people in it heard pleas
ant address from B. Wilson Smith, who
represents the state of Indiana. He was
followed by Charles Reemlin, of Cincin-
natl, who addressed himself to the Ger
man citiZeEs.
Judge CassodaY, of the Wisconsin su-
preme bench, one of the great lawyers of
the northwest, made brief, but power
tul speech, pregnant with points OF
humor and common sense. He was fol-
lowed by Prof. j. D. Butler, of Wiscon-
STA, who WAS the orator selected by his
state at this celebration.
Prof. Butler discussed with justifable
pride, W1sconsin's superior care of her
insane, the pre-eminence of the state
historical society and the efficiency of the
national guard, as demonstrated in the
Milwaukee riots. He went on to show
how the state had been robEed of nalf its
territory.

THE SITUATION SIZED UP.
A Democratic Estimate of Republican
Prospects.

The New York Sun is not inclined to
take a rosy view of Cleveland's pros
poets. 1t says of the Republican nomi-
nees:
1T is ticket shrewdly and skillfulIy
selected, and when its points of political
excellence are perceived, the Democrats
will find themselves obliged to make a
more vigorous and active fight than they
now seem inclined to do. General Har-
rison's nomination, produced by two of
the adroitest of Republican managers,
New and Dudley, against obstacles in
the convention which seemed insur-
mountable, depends for success in No
vember on very simple electoral cal
culation.
In 1884 Blaine and Logan, despite
Mugwump detection, carried the follow
ing states by pretty substantial MAORI
ties:

The Republican Symbol.

1t is to the credit of the republican
party that its distinctive symbol IN this
campaign is what teaches patriotism. 1t
has adopted the stars and stripes as an
offset to the red bandana. 1t was nat
ural that the republican party seeking a
symbol should turn to the old flag. But
for this party that flag would now be
flying over only half the union; it is the
flag under which hundreds of republi-
cans died; 1t is the flag their children
are taught to love. The adoption of the
flag as the party ensign is fitting and the
best thing possible.
Republicans have been in the habit of
marching TO victory under the stars and
stripes. They will do the same again
