honing into district in order to enable
Judge King of Youngstown, TO culminate

STILL the re is no understanding between
the President and Blaine. twas thought
by many that after the President had re-
ceived that famous barrel Of Scotch
whiskey he might manufacture courage
enough to speak to Blaine upon the mat
ter. The spectacle of the poor man long
ing and yet afraid to speak is full of
pathos, and il excites the sympathy OF the
whole people.-Boston Globe.

of Columbia:
"The appointments are rather favora-
bly, received here. Some little dissatis-
faction, however, is being expressed at

Major started in on his campaign"

Gov. HILL has decided to serve out his

THE PRIVATE SECRETARY.

The American Mechanics Not Satisfied
With the Selection of James Boyle.
The selection of James Boyle as Major
McKinley's private secretary, does not
appear to give entire satisfaction. 1t is
we'll known that the Major is great ad-
mirer of the Junior Order of American
Mechanics and it was thought he would
select his secretary from the order. In
stead OF this he gives the place to an
Iishman who has only been in this
coun ~ few years. The members Of the
order are greatly disappointed, as they
supported the Major almost to man.
Personally the News DEMOCRAT is pleased
with the selection, as there is not news
paper man in the state who does not like
James Boyle. He is whole souled fell
low and general faVorite. In addition
to this he is fitted for the position, but the
American Mechanics are not satisfied and
think an American born citizen should
have been given the | erth.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Young Man and His Lady Friend
Break Through the Ice.

The cold weather Of the past few days
has frozen sufficient ice on Feathers
pond In the northern part Of the city for
skating purposes and good use is being
made Of the opportunity by the lovers of
that exhilaratiug sport. Monday and
Tuesday night the ice was covered with a
festive crowd Of young folks who we're
enjoying themselves to the utmost limit.
An occurrance took place last night how
ever that interrupted the merry making
for time and came near throwing a
gloom over the nights festivities. The
warm sun yesterday weakened the ice
somewhat, rendering IL brittle and about
8 o'clock Frank Hardwick q clerk at the
Sun Vapor office and young lady named
Miss Bundy while skating together went
through near the middle Of the pond
The young lady at the time was skating
backward and Mr.. Hardwick forward with
hands Joined in front Of them. Suddenly
the ice began to crack and in moment
both were laundering in the water. Miss
Bundy went under out of sight but Mr..
Hardwick kept his head above water and
after graphing about he secured hold of
the young lady and brought her TO the sur
face. The other boys soon gathered
around and helped the couple out OF the r
perilous predicament, when they took tie
street cars for home. Miss Bundy was
badly frightened over the accident and
there was considerable excitement for a
time among the skaters,

County Treasurer Joseph Maudru re-
ceived telegram Wednesday morning,
announcing the death of his father-in-

TO RUN EXCURSIONS,
An Important Meeting of the Business
Mems Association Held Last Night.

An Important Meeting Of the Business
Mems Association Held Last Night.
The fact that great many farmers and
others in the near vicinity do not come to
Canton to do.their trading, but go to some
other city, is deplorable one, yet such
seems to be the condition of things. The
Business Mems Association have taken
hold Of the matter and are now making
preparations to meet the conditions and
change the tide of affairs. At a meeting
held last evening the scheme of running
bi.weekly excursions from points on all
railroads leading to Canton was consid-
cred and q committee composed of
Messrs. Zollinger, Kidd, j. Werner, Kerch,
Stuart and Frank appointed to confer
with the railroad companies. Mr.. Geo. H..
Spangler presided and Mr.. Louis collars
acted as secretary. Remarks we're made
by nearly every business man present.
All seemed to unite in the belief that il
regular semi-monthly meetings were held
and important matters discussed that
much good would result.
Another meeting will be held Friday
evening and every storekeeper in Canton
should be present,

THE BABY CASE,
An Attempt to Shield an Unfortunate
Girl Meets With Poor Success.

An Attempt to Shield an Unfortunate
Girl Meets With Poor Success.
1t is often difficult to determine what
news of a local character ought to be
suppressed in the interest Of society, and
to protect the reputation OF the family.
Yesterday we had a case in point. The
day before we printed an account of a
baby supposed to have been left on the
door steps of farm house. Yesterday
our reporters discovered that the baby's
mother was probably one that about two
months ago swore out an affidavit against
young man for bastardy, and that this
young man had left for parts unknown.
The conclusion therefore was that the
baby mystery was solved, and that the
mysterious baby was one with known
mother and an absent father. Then the
question arose in the mind editorial,
should this last item be printed and this
bastard baby and it's unfortunate mother
be exposed. We concluded to suppress
the item, in order to save the reputation
of the unfortunate girl and her family.
The publication we thought would do
the public no good and the girl irreparable
harm. There was another consideration.
This girl did not add crime TO something
AKIN 10 CRIME Dy submitting 10 criminal
abortion. This was another favoring
circumstance that induced us to suppress
the real facts of the bastardy. The
Repository however, took another view
of the case, and gave the girl and her baby
completely away. Hence the suppression
of an item to save the reputation of this
unfortunate girl did no good.
The NEws-DEMoCRAT as usual first
published the story a day in advance of
the "Rep", but didn't see fit to blast the
name of the young lady.
