WOOSTER, o., Oct. Ex-Governor Hill
left Canton for Wooster this morning, ar

gathered and cheered Governor Hill as
the train passed. AT Massillon, Mai. Nc
Kiulev, who was on his way to Smith
VILE, boarded the train and chatted with
the governor until he reached his destins-
ton. On arriving at Wooster an I'M
mense throng crowded the station and the
city was in gay holiday attire. Governor
Hill addressed a monster open air mass
meeting of 5000 people IN the afternoon.
The governor spoke at length on the
tariff question and also on the election
bill. Regarding the latter he said there
has nothing taken place in any part Of the
South to Justify the exercise of the doubt.
full power of congress to regulate oar elec
lions. He denounced the force bill as a
dangerous exercise of constitutional au-
thoritY, a menace to our theory of gov
IN and an insult to the people of
the states. The states have always rcgu-
lated their own congressional elections.
They should be permitted to continue to
do so.
The refusal of such privilege is the
policy of force and partisanship.
A mere recital of the details OF the
proposed measure is sufficient to make it
execrable. The tendency of such legis-
lation would be to provoke a conflict
between the federal and state officials and
race preiudices would be enRendered at
the South. This force bill is a vicious
attack Upon the Republican form of
government. Those who affect to think
the people do not understand this issue
and are not aroused to ITS importance,
mistake the sign OF : the times and
character and temper of the American
people.
In conversation with Major Mckin-
ley today he told me, said the governor.
lit was the intention Of the present lie
publican congress to pass the force bill
before its expiration. no matter which
party was successful in the coming cleo
items. II they do not carry the next
election you can rest assured they will not
pass the bill.
The governor addressed another audi
ence this evening at the opera house aud
later left for Masillou.

There is a very well known physician
in town who believes in the transmi.
grafton OF souls. His theories in fact
are not unlike those Of the Buddhist,
who believes hat his soul has climbed
to its present estate through successive
dwellings in the bodies of brutes. The
doctor is convinced that during his last
incarnation he was a cat. Therefore
he pays his respects to eats in every
mianne possible. His house Is tile asy,

wounds. he restores their coats, he
feeds and pets them end he has them
by dozens.
Wien the house becomes ovcrrun he
will consent to let good and reliable"
families take some of his pets. In ad-
dition t. these unfortunates the doctor
has some aristocratic cats-cats with a
pedigree. These are marvels of beauty
and Of pride, varying in color from the
one Of ebony coat TO the 1.-the maltese
and the tortoise shell, whose new is
musical above all others.

With ruby or topnz eyes. His cuff but
o are cats, and Il sort of convention
allied cat presides over his stamp in the
blank leaves OF his library rooms. 1t
is indeed his coat OF arms, and silver
and china both bear it. But the crown
ing curiosity is the enormous Persian
cat which, stuffed, sits in a niche in
the hall to remind the doctor of a per
ished pet.
1t is but fair to say that this admira
ton for cats is no afTcctation on the
part Of the physician, who is a very sin.

result of a deep conviction. He has n
