A Rongh Change.

Illustrating the changes which French
names suffer in this country, The Buffalo
Commercial says that perhaps no aristo-
cratic French name ever suffered more
from foreign usage than that of the
early resident and benefactor Of Buffalo,

This gentleman is known in this vicinity
as "Look-a-too" or "Licky-too. II must
be admitted that the name lis pretty

That corruption which stalked
through Legislative halls and invaded
the institutions Of Ohio during former
Democratic administrations came to the
surface again In The Democratic conven-
tionl at Dayton. No ono disputes the
fact that there are honest and capable
men among the Democrats Of Ohio; but
IL Is apparent 70 every one that they
were not fairly represented by the
aggregation which gathered at Dayton
to foist upon them ticket. Instead Of
men representative Of the better ele-
ments Of the party being in control OF

O. Myers, the Tom Cogans, the Mike
Mullins the Lew Bernards and the
Tom Costellos Of the party. This ele-
ment dictated the platform and NOM
nations, and this element will be the
direct beneficiaries Of Democratic vic
tory this fall should the state have the
misfortune TO again fall into the hands
Of Democratic administration. The
extravaganza, the mismanagement and
scandals Of the Hoadly administration
have not been forgotten by the people
Of Ohio; neither hAve the Infamous
crimes against the ballot Of 1885 been
either forgotten or condoned by the
people Of the state then disgraced. i
they understand themselves, the honest
voters Of Ohio. irrespective Of party, are
in favor Of preserving the purity Of thu

chagrin and disappointment on the pro
ceedings and results Of the Day ton con

which attaches 10 the Demo cratic stat,

made It. They must appreciate the fac
that the ballot-box suffers AMI tally

Contrary to the teachings of the op.
ponents of protection to home labor,
the tendency of wages thus protected
is to advance while the protected indus

more dollars for such labor but impart.

will go Democratic next Novemberp''
Why are you always claiming victories
and never gaining themp
Why is it you always have the Repub.

fore the election?
Why is 1t that two months before
election You are not so sure Of the re-
suit
Why is it that one month before the
election You do not know whether 70
stand your ground or run2
Why is it that just three months from
the time you have the Republican party
whipped lin your mind) you catch q
most terrible and we'll deserved lickinpY
Listen little bit.
The progressive people of Ohio have
nothing in common with party whose
every idea has been voted or shot to
death.
They have nothing in common with a
party whose history is made up of long
list of failures whenever it has been
tried
They have nothing in common with O
party whose administration ruined the
financial prosperity of the state.
The progressive people of Ohio want
progressive governor.
They want in power a progressive
party.
They have tried the Republican party
and it suits them.
They have tried Governor Foraker
and he suits them.
They are going to try him for another
term
And, mark you, you cannot nominate
man who defeat him
They will not only elect Governo,
Foraker.
They will elect the entire state ticket
And Republican legislature.
And that legislature will elect Re.

"In the Name Of the People. {"

While Governor j. B. Foraker defies
the defiers of law, he does not seek to
ingratiate himself with the advocates of
any sect of liquor regulators; or of high
license, or Of any other doctrine apper
tanning to the sale of liquors He does
not discuss the liquor question in any
shape. DO not tolerate defiance of the
law, no matter whether by mob Of
workmen or by mob Of saloonkeepers.

force the law in the name of the people,

From the foregoing it will be seen
that o first-class blacksmith, earning 81
per day in the approximated free trade
times Of 1915, could buy with his pay
of ninety cents about three quarts Of
mOlasses or less than pound of ten,
and his descendants of 1883, with more
than double his wages, could buy four
times the quantity. His neighbor, the
carpenter, in 1916, and the other me-
chanics in the list would find their
buying power OF their daily wages sim
ilarly multiplied by four in buying the
articles of foreign production; while
with protection articles of home produc-
ton, particularly dry goods, the differ
enee would be much greater. Women
folks would find things much more
marked. The servant girl, or, she was
then called, the help of 1915, would
then have paid whole weeks wages
fifty cents) for two yards medium calico
ut twenty-five cents; while now her sue
cessor with her present earnings of 90,
can buy fifty yards of better quality
at six cents per yard, being therein q
multiplication of gain by twenty-five.
In other words, weeks wages in that
one article will buy what her pred essor
then would have had to work six months
ia pay for. The drop Of dress silks from
80 in 1915 to 81 now per yard in the
same direction teaches the some lesson,
and our teas now at fifty cents and cocoa
shells at five cents per pound are just as
good as in 1915 were bought at from
three to five times the price. Irish

TOR several weeks now Democratic
newspapers have been filed with the
most outrageous falsehoods regarding
the financial condition of the state Of
Ohio. A few active wire pullers of a
disreputable turn have been endeayor.
ing to get all the newspapers in the
state to cry down the credit Of Ohio and
bring the state into disrepute. This
they are attempting solely for the pur.
pose OF boosting their political friends
into Office on the falsehoods which tbav
expect people to believe. The fact il
that Ohio's financial condition was
never as good as at the present time
Governor Foraker on assuming control
OF the state as governor in January
1886, found it bankrupt, and even the
revenues for the first year of his admin.
istration had been anticipated by Gov.
ernor Hoadly and expended to meet the
extravagant appropriations and ex.
penses of the preceding year. Starting
IN with treasury worse than bankrupt.
Governor Foraker, with the aid of the
Republican legislatures, succeeded II
getting the state finances in such ,
shape that not only have all obligation,
been met as they fell due, but th,
annual interest charge has been reduced
to about one-fourth what it was whe,
Foraker assumed control; and all tb
state institutions are running at les
expense than ever before. At the sam,
time the tax rate for state purposes ha,
been reduced, and Ohio now stand /,
financial circles with "a" No 1 credit
and should be spoken of by the citizen
OF Ohio with pride instead of slander
and falsehoods being circulated concern
ing her condition.
These are matters in which all citizen
of Ohio, irrespective of party, are inter

AoUksrroN ANSWERED.

AStArk county Democratic paper after
rejecting on Governor Foraker's war
record and called on The Massillon Iu-
dependent to give this valuable item, Of
history and promised to reprint IL en-
tire. The Massillon Independent re.
sponded with the following: your dis
interested desire to hold Governor
ForAker's military record sacred is
admirable. The reverence with which
you refer TO his bravery'in peace and his
position in war, has impressed the pub
lic with your magnanimity and keen
sense Of justice. The record you have
herewith. Now. in the language Of the
border drama, be brave, be honest, be
true.
There is nothing to hold back or
hide about Governor Foraker, and his
military career, while q boy in his teens,
everyone can speak with pride. The
cowsrdly insinuations that his record is
anything but worthy, INDUCED in by q
section Of the Democratic press, and sub
stantiated by no word Of evidence, are
shameful. In another column The In
dependent has the story of Foraker
during the war, which none can dispute
There have been summaries covering the
same ground, and probably as accurate
but none possessing the merit Of being
Official and therefore inoontestable.

ent to present to its readers without de

The Transformations way In which Ho
Announced the Victory ut Waterloo!
Earl Stanhope's volume of "Notes
on Conversations with the Duke of
Wellington " furnishes many interest
ing anecdotes which are not yet famil-
lar to the reading public. Lord STAN
hope tells the following story of Daniel
Webster:
l breakfasted this morning with
Hallam, and met Mr.. Webster, the
justly celebrated 1.merican, whose &C.
quaintance 1 had already made the day
but one before at a dinner at Lord
Stanley's. He told me that on his way
out he had been reading two or three
odd volumes of the Duke of yelling
ton 8 dispatches, and had been greatly
struck at their total freedom from nny
thing like pomp or ostentation, even
In moments OF the greatest triumph.
The Waterloo dispatch itself contained
nothing about "victory and glory"
So unpretending was it, said Mr..
Webster, that. Mr.. Quincy Adams,
who was our Minister at London at
the time, and who had good deal of
bitter feeling against this country,
with which peace had o1ly just been
concluded, declared, on first reading the
dispatch, that it came from defeated
General, and that in real truth the
Dukes army must have been ami
hilated at Waterloo. This he seriously
believed for some time. What a
contrast. continued Mr.. Webster, to
Napoleon's rhetorical bulletins. One
day one read in them: 1--WE have
thrown Blucher into the Boberr' and
few days afterward one found that
Blucher had somehow got out of this
Bober and defeated Napoleon himself
at Leipsic.
Lord Stanhope gives the Dukes ver-
sion OF the way the news of Waterloo
was brought to England, thus: "The
news OF Waterloo was first brought
over by Jew in the service of Roths-
child. He embarked at Ostend, and
nobody on board the vessel knew of IL
but he. The way he got at it was this:
He was at Client. looking in with a
crowd at the window, when q messenger
arrived to the King of France, and he
saw that the King, after reading the
letter, embraced the messenger and
kissed him all around the room and
all about the house Upon this the
jew felt sure that the news was a
victory, and without an instant's de-
lay set of upon his journey to En-
gland At Ostend he saw Malcolm,
but told him nothing, nor did he to
any one until he reached Rothschild's
house in the city. He afterward went
to Lord Liverpool. Lord Mary borough
added that before they sailed from
Ostend they saw dragoon run down
to the beach, take off his cap and
wave it in the air. The other people
on board all wondered what it could
mean, and none guessed; but the Jew
had still the composure to keep his
secret"
