THE PROVEN DISHONESTY OF THE
REPUBLICAN ARGUMENT
OF 1884.

The fallacy, untruthfulness and dis
honesty of the Republican argument
four years ago, that "the country would
20 to the 'demnition bow-wows' If
Cleveland was elected" has not been
more forcibly demonstrated thar in the
snbjoined interview with an employe of
the Morgan Engineering Works at Al
lance. A DEMOCRAT represent
alive recently at Alliance ran across
one of the intelligent and reasoning
workmen connected with that estab-
lishment, of previous Republican pro-
cliyities, but who in the face of the
facts expressed his determination to
vote for Cleveland and Thurman.
Said he, al remember so distinctly four
years ago, Mr.. Morgan standing on the
big planer in his works, made a speech
to his men in which he said substan-
tally this: Men, l do not propose to
dictate to you how you shall vote, but
if you cannot for yourselves see and
reason that the election Of this MAI
Cleveland, means reduction of wages,
utter destruction to the country's in
Fnstries and the ultimate shutting
down of these works, and any of you
will persist in voting the Demo-
cratic ticket, it will be evident to me
that YOU do not value our mutual inter
ests, do not know how to help yourself,
and / see no reason why l should help
YOU" That was the Republican argu-
ment four years ago. What a farce it
appear today. Then, continued this
workman, "That may have looked all
right to the Mr.. Morgan of four years
AGO. but the MI. Morgan of today, must
be heartily ashamed of it. Why, l
know that Mr.. MOrgan's business has
never been so prosperous as during the
mast three years. We workmen at the
Morgan Engineering Works are not
afraid of the free trade clap trap,
hut we do fear the 80, 70 and Soc, per day
European pauper and Chinese laborer
which Mr.. Harrison, the Republican
candidate for President encourages
and Mr.. Morton, the candidate for Vice
President employs. Thank God, my
ewes have been opened since four years
aro. and 1 now intend to vote with the
party that experience has taught me is
fhe real friend of the American work
ingman, 1 shall vote for CLEVELAND
and Thurman, and | know a number Oh
ether ex.Republicans who will do The
same, even though MI. Morgan should
have the audacity to make anothersucl
speech as he made from his big plan
err four years ago."
The position and argument of thi
workingman is impregnable. For man
fest reasons which everybody will con
cede, we refrain from publishing hi
name. Any comment we might max
wouldnot add t its force. 1t is a "knocl
down argument based upon facts ant
experience, and cannot be successful.

SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM AND
IT'S EFFECTS.

The remark of one of the gentleman
recently arrived from Springfield, into
whose hands the Repository frequent
ly came in his old home, is worthy OF
serious consideration. He said: 81 got
the impression from the Repository,
that Canton was a pretty tough place,
more 'dens and dives than anything
else. So thoroughly was | imbued with
that estimate, that / hesitated long and
seriously about coming" This goes to
show what sensational journalism, or
rather "unjournalism," may do towards
compromising the good name Of any
city. The gentleman had reference to
the Repository's recent onslaught on
Mayor Blake, and the charge that Can
ton was swarming with gambling
dens," dives and Immoral resorts,
which the Mayor was powerless, OF re-
fused TO suppress. 1T is needless to say

A LARGE number of business men of
Chicago, heretofore Republicans, have
organized themselves into a club to aid
in the election Of Cleveland. Among
those in the movement we notice
Franklin MacVeagh, the wholesale gro
GER; Francis A. Hoffman, Chas. w.
Deering, of the Deering Harvest
Works; VIM. M. Hoyt, wholesale grocer;
Robert Lindbloom, Of the Board of
Trade; General A. c. McClurg, of the
great McClurg Il Co. book house; Ed
ward q. Mason, leading lawyer; Judge
Henry Booth late of the Circuit Court;
Max Stern, publisher, and many others.
The movement has assumed formidable
proportions. A despatch from Chicago,
noting the movement, says:
sit bids fair to increase the vote for
Cleveland and Thurman in Illinois, and
threatens the Republican supremacy in
the electoral college of the State. For
have been dissatisfied with the Repub-
lican platform on the tariff question
although voters of the Republican tick.
ct for years, have been discussing the
best means Of rebuking the high-tarifl
and free4whisky tendency of the Re
publican party. Being ardentadmirers
Of President Cleveland and thorough
indorsers Of his famous message tC
Congress, they thought that the best
means Of aiding in the Presidents re
election would be through the medium
Of some powerful organization"

RETURNS from ali the counties of
Ohio show that while there were 4,105,-
1T sheep in the State last year, there
are now only 3,739,449, a decrease of
365, 728 in one year. Wool growing will
have to be dropped from the list Of
Ohio industries If the people allow the
Mills program to proceed any farther,
A Republican House will remove the
menace.-[Akron Beacon
There was a decrease of 365, 1928 sheep
last year. This was before the Mills
bill was ever heard of, or even dreamed
about. The Mills bill, that passed the
House a few days ago, had about as
much to do with the decrease of sheep
in Ohio as the recent eclipse of the
moon. A mar proclaims himself a
first-class idiot when he prints such
transparent nonsense as the above.
Every man with as much sense as a
sheep can see it. Andy yet of such stuff
is made the bulk of protection argu-
ment.
