HIGH Ipressure gas at the depth OF.
1900 fleet has been struck near CleVe-
land. Of course the city is jubilant
over it. We trust it is not like so many
new wells, merely newspaper gas,
Ex-Gov. MOVES was in Youngstown
Yesterday, and had a telegram sent out
that he predicted West Virginia would
go Republican. Noyes is a man whose
Judgment on politics is not worth ten
cents.
A MAN named Hartford fatally shot
VIM. Dunn at Indianapolis yesterday.
The trouble grew out of a political
quarrel. Dunn was intoxicated and
was clrsing General Harrison, Words
passed, when Dunn struck Hartford,
who responded with a shot from his re-
volver, fatally wounding Dunn.
CONGRESSMAN SCOTT of Erie, and
Colonel Cal. Brlce of Ohio, visited the
President yesterday at his country
home at Oak View, and now they say
Cal. Brice is to be chairman Of the
Democratic National Executive Com
mittee.
SIGNATURES to the Amalgamated
scale continue to come in and the con-
ditlon of the Western Iron Association
is becoming more and more demon
allied. The Atlantic Iron Company,
of Sharon, Pa, through p. L. Kimberly,
and the CHARTERS Iron and Steel Com
pany, of Mansfield, Pa, are the latest
signers of the scale.
JOSEPH BoRK, of Buffalo, has aban-
doned Cleveland and has decided to
support Harrison. He announces
that free trade is what stuns him,
but a dispatch to the Pittsburg
Dispatch says: "Mr, Borck is hostile to
Mr.. Cleveland because the latter, Willie
Governor refused to pardon him from
Auburn prison on grounds upon which
Mr.. Hill subsequently released him.
The Imprisonment was for embez-
ling funds in the city treasury, but
Burck did all he could to reimburse the
city.
THE newspapers of today contain a
dispatch from Detroit that the Grand
Council of the Independent Labor
party has Just declared for Harrison.
Some one may get fooled over this.
This is not the Union Labor party Of
Michigan. That party has an organ at
Grand Rapids, Mich. called the Daily
Leader, and this newspaper is opposing
Harrison and supporting Cleveland.
AN Indianapolis special says General
Harrison's letter of acceptance is about
ready. 1t will touch on five topics:
The tariff, pensions, our foreign policy,
labor as connected with immigration
and temperance. He will go the whole
hog on protection; advocate Blaine's
lingo foreign policy, oppose the impor-
tation Of pauper immigrants and pro.
claim himself the friend of the Amer
lean laborer. On temperance question
lie will put his gloves on and make a
diplomatic talk on temperance in gen
eral, without antagonizing the saloon
element.
CHAIRMAN Mills will call the roll on
the tariff bill at high noon on Saturday,
He has counted noses, and thinks, on a
full vote, the bill will have about ten
majority.
OUR own Col. Calvin S. Brice, has
been made chairman of the National
Democratic Executive Committee.
IT is conceded that our esteemed
evening contemporary is printed largely
! from boiler plate matter, and not from
type set up by home labor in the home
! office. Now our good neighbor, you
know, is in favor of home enterprise
and for building up the home market
Hence it strikes us as very strange
4 that our proposition to abandon al
boiler plate, in case our neighbor would
do so, ought to be accepted. We made
our proposition in perfect good faith
as we are anxious to practice
what we preach. This is a matter Of
more vital interest in Canton than thu
object and aims of the Golden club
% Come, neighbor, give us a home pape
and stop this telegraph news, the yer,
latest that you have, by express. Civ
the honest home printers of Canton
4 chance. This is business, and the yer,
essence of Protection,
WE learn from the Plttsburg paper
that the Scale Committees of the Amer
lean Flint Glass Workers Union and o
the Prescription Workers held anothe
conference yesterday morning, and tn
effort to bring all the glass workers il
to one union is likely to succeed. TheI
~ are 1900 men in the two divisions
the K. of L, and about 800 in the Ton
lin branch.
GEN. BEN HARRISON is said to /
better today. The report sent out ye
terday of his severe illness was prob
bly, exaggerated; or perhaps the deni
is exaggerated. There's no telllr
which is the nearest correct.
