TIE Ohio Republican platform de-
clares in favor of restoring certain lands
donated by Congress to railroads, to
the Government again. Now why
don't the Administration proceed to
restore these lands? What is the use
of passing resolutions in State conven-
tions in favor of doing what the Repub,
lican Administration has failed to do
and will continue to fail to do. OF
course it is insincere, dishonest and a
political trick intended TO deceive.
Gen. Rush 9. Hawkins, in the North
American Review for June tells some
fearful tales on the brutality and avar-
ice of the Republican party towards
the masses of the American people.
And the donation Of the public domain,
to monopoly railroad corporations is
one of the crimes he mentions. The
land grant act, engineered through
Congress by bribery is among the
crimes of the Republican party. The
aggregate of these lands, comprise a
territory rs large as the whole of
France, and capable of sustaining a
population of sO,0OO,00O of people. Gen.
Hawkins says:
"These lands were voted away in dt-
rect violation of moral right and an en-
lightened public policy, and the magni-
tude of these gifts is without precedent
in the history of legislation. Only one
Of the railroads assisted was q national
necessity, and that ought to have been
built, owned and managed by the gov
ernment. All the other lines were con-
structed far in advance of the demand,
and the profits Of their construction
have gone into the pockets Of the ras-
Gals who promoted these schemes and
carried them to successful
consummation. Our accommodat-
ing law makers supplemented
their enormous laad dona-
tion to the Pacific railroads with loans
of government bonds amounting in the
aggregate to sixty-five millions of dol
lars. The voting away of public do
main was bad enough, but the granting
of these loans, pledging the credit OF
the whole people for their payment, for
the use of business corporations, or
rather as it turned out, for the benefit
of little cabal of promoters, was inf
nitely worse and possibly more cor
rupt."

Rev. ii. M. Green VIII be chs Rector at
st. Paul's Episcopal Church.
The feeling of agitation and disquie-
tude that has pervaded the minds Of the
members of St. Paul's Episcopal church
since the contention first began over the
utterances of the Rev. Howard Mac
Queary, will now probably subside. A
vestry meeting was held Monday even
ing and the final action taken, which will
provide the congregation with a rector.
Rev. II. NJ. Green, who bad been called TO
the pastorate of the church, has accepted,
and within a month he will be here and
be duly installed. Rev. Green is man
about forty-flve years of age and is well
thought of by all who have ever come in
contact with him. For some years he has
been pastor of the Episcopal church at
Darlington, Wisconsin. This charge he
took in its infancy, and through his cf-
forts il has grown TO be the largest and
most influential protestant church in the
city.
His two sermons in this city Sunday
were the subjects of much favorable COM
ment, ard the members OF the congrega-
ton feel highly pleased with their future
outlook. Mr.. Green is held I'm high re-
gard by his church authorities, and has
had several calls TO churclna where the

JAMES Z. CAMPBELL seems to be fay
orite here among Republicans. Nearly
every one of these we meet wants him Tor
Governor. This circumstance alone

past should teach Democrats not to bite at
such bait, for there is a dangerous hooki in
it, Washington C. Ii. (Ohio) Register,

Now this is very strange talk. We
want a man who can get Republican
votes, because without Republican
votes we cannot elect a Democratic
Governor. Ohio is Republican State.
If we nominate man because he can't
get any votes from the Republicans, we
are defeated. Mckinley always gets
some Democratic votes in Canton, be-
cause he is well liked personally. No
Republican objects to Mckinley on that
account. If Campbell can get Republi-
can votes, because Republicans of inde.
pendence like him, so much the better

because they believe Campbell is en-

not say here that Governor Campbell

ONE day last week Republican
farmer came t. Canton from near Louis
vile, O., to see Canton physician. He
is over As years Of age, ard has always
voted u Republican ticket. In a con-
ver5ation with two Canton physicians,
politics came up as usual, and wheu
McKinley's name WAS mentioned, he
shook his head and said: 81 have al
ways voted for Mckinley, but can't do
It this year. l think his tariff Is too
strong. don't know who shall vote
for, but it will not be Mckinley" He
mentioned three OF his Republican
neighbors who ore with him in this
determination. Evidently the Repub-

HIGH TARIFF IS DEAD.

The great race horse, High Tariff, is
dead. He dropped dead when near the
finish of the great Chicago Derby, on
Saturday, losing the $4,000 priz, and
losing everything.
The name did not kill him, of course
not, but bis death is ominous of the
fate Of High Tariff in Ohio in Noven,
ber. The horse High Tariff started
with the best groom and rider of the
whole array. He was magnificent
animal, with eye like a gazelle, and a
patrician pedigree running back to the
days waen Lord Wellington scooped
the first Napoleoa at Waterloo. There
was 10 indication Of heart trouble. No
painting and distress under the fearful
gallops he took, preparatory to his final
struggle. And yet, when nearing the
wire, when a thousand hearts (that had
pools on him) beat joyously, he made
few staggers, fell TO the ground, and
was a limp and dead mass of horse
meat, not worth dollar.
History viii repeat herself, in the
Ohio Derby in November.

MCKINLEY is one of the lest adver-
tisers in the United States. He Sc
cured free ad. in nearly all the Ohio
dailies on his serenade and reception
in Canton, in which less than 400 per-
sons were present, as being an immense
demonstration, composed of 5000 en-
thusiastic citizens. And now it is be-
ing proclaimed everywhere that the
woods and dales aud hillsides of Stark
county are full of wiid.eyCd and excited
couptrymen, who are full of anxiety,
lest they should die before they get a
chance to vote for Mckinley in Novem-
ber. OF course advertising pays, but
there is such thing as OVERRIDING,
even a good thing,

IT is suggested that the delegates
from Stark county to the Democratic
State convention be selected by popu-
lar vote, direct. The farmers OF the
townships are in favor of this. This is
a COED year to give the farmers a
chance to attend the State convention,
Let the chairman of the county execu'
tive committee apporiOn the dele
gates to the various wards and town
ships on the ratio Of th2 Democratic
vote cast in 1890, aud let each ward and
precinct vote direct for the delegates
for that locality. There would then be
no chance for trades or skulduggery,
and every township and ward would
have voice in the state convention &C.
cordlng to the prevailing opinion in
that ward or to8nship.

HUBER AND THE MAsSILLoN POST
OFFICE.

Mckinley did not want to appoint a
soldier, and has induced Huber to with.
draw. This is just as predicted by our
Massillon correspondent, thirty days
ago. Mckinley did not want to ap-
point a soldier at Canal Fulton, or Ma
varre, or Louisville or Youngstown,
and of course he did not. He has no
use for soldiers, If he can use some one
else to advantage. The following ia
from the Massillonian:
"It has been somewhat OF mystery
why Mr.. Henry Huber, the G. A. II. can-
didate for postma ster, should be quoted
as Withdrawing, with great pleasure in
favor of MIR. Clement Russell. In fact,
Mr.. Huber has not been correctly quoted.
Major Mckinley has made two visits to
Massillon and has tearfulIy besought Mr.
Huber to withdraw. That gentleman Sec
ing that II was of no use to kick against
the prcks, has assured Mr.. Russell that
personally he would not stand in his way,
but that the friends who had worked for
him hal something to say. The real re-
suit ia that Mr.. Huber has made no AMIGA
BILE arrangement but very ssnsibly sees
that he has nothing 10 do but gracefully
avoid being kicked down stairs. OF
course, lis VI derstood that mr. Huber is
To be provided for elsewhere"

splendid administration of Governor
Campbell and applauded his honesty and
