THE disclosures of official corrup-
tlor. in California are appalling. The
Grand Jury in san Francisco have
found indictments against a number
of the members of the last legislature.
They report that one political manager
levied assessments on corporations ag-
gregating 100000 annually. This is
Republican rottenness, and is the legit-
innate result of Doodle politics. The
system of high tariff taxes, or that sys-
tenn of jobbery and robbery by which
the industrious poor are robbed for the
exclusive benefit of the lazy, rotten
rich, is responsible for this kind of bus
mess,

WORKING THOMAS FOR SHERMAN.

A Foraker Republican, who is dis
gruntled over the action Of Editor
Frease in his Navarro mission,
wants us to print something on this
contest.
Now the contest does not deeply con-
Germ us, or any other Democrat.
AS between Sherman and Foraker,
the choice is between two great evils,
and it would be hard to pick the least.
1t would probably do the Democrats
the least harm to have the illustrious
John kept in his place. Hence we
naturally sympathize more with Editor
Frease than the uisgruntled Foraker
Republican who wants US to criticise
the covert cavorting ofthe sedate and
diplomatic Rep editor.
During the past month some three
hundred able bodied citizens-mostly
| Rerublicans-have ventured into our
palatial quarters and subscribed for the
News -DEMOCRAT. Many of these
appreciative citizens we sind are
Foraker admirers They want new
deal on several things, aud especially
ou the Federal patronage of Ohio.
They seem to think that 3G years in
public life, Is enough for one man,
especially when that man went into
Office without a dollar, and is now
worth S5OCO,OOO. 1t is, therefore, no.
out Of our legitimate domain az a Dem.
ocraLic advocate of healthy politics and
poor mans chance to alleviate the
feelings of the Foraker worshippers
with some timely words.
1t is evident that there is a scheme to
work MI Thomas for Sherman, and
Editor FreGse is in it. Itis claimed he
has been furnished with the "persuad-
er" to do it. OF this we know not. His
actions, however, give color to the
rumor that he has the stuff that has
created and sustained many OF our
modern statesmen.
Thomas has been for Foraker. He
was fo7 Foraker before the diplomatic
and suave editor of the Evening Rep
saw him in a private room at Navarro,
with his supposed con-
version to Long John, there appears in
the Evening Rep. long editorial arti-
Gle, flleo with taffy for Thomas, aud
giving what is supposed to be inter
views with the Sherman followers at
Navarro. Our Foraker Repub-
lican wants to know how Thomas
came to discover public senti-
ment was for Sherman, simultaneously
with the discovery of Editor Frease in
a private room in Navarro.
Our Foraker Republican also wants
to know whether Thomas proposes TO
represent Navarro or the whole of Stark
county. Navarro is only small cor
ner of Stark county. Had not Thomas
better get an inside view Of public opin.
ion in the whole of Stark county, before
he commits his conscience to Editor
Frease?
Our Foraker Republican also says
Thomas was nominated as a laboring
man How can he vote for too of
Wall street for Senator, when all the
labor organizations Of Ohio are against
Sherman?
These are the pointers that are point
ed out to US with vim and emphasis by
a Foraker man, who says he is in har-
mOny with the great mass of Stark
county Republicans, who have no axes
to grind.
While this contest does not concern
us deeply, our large Republican client
age admonish US to print the news, es-
pecially when it is full of vitality.

EDITORIAL sQUIBs.

AFTER Mr.. Frease returned from Ma.
varre yesterday he sent the following
telegram (or had 1t SEMI to the Cleveland
Leader.
CANTON, o., December 28.-It Is stated
on reliable authority that Thomas, the
Republican Representatve-elect in this
district, will vote for Sherman for Senator
and Laylc for Speaker. There has been
some doubt over the vote of Thomas, it
being understood by some that he would
support Foraker.
See our Navarro dispatch and put this
and that together.
Col. W. A. TAYLOR, once of Pittsburg,
and now of Columbus, o, is in the East,
informing the papers that Foraker is
going to be elected Senator and that the
reault will be a split in the Ohio Republi-
can organization.

No person who knows the Hon. G p.
Griffin, of Toledo, will doubt his state
ments that 5000 was offered him by
Sherman agent to flop from Foraker to
Sherman. Griffin is man whose word
goes wherever he is known. The affair
appears to have created a feeling bor-
dering on panic in the Sherman camp;
but all of Sherman's agents deny that
sherman ever authorized any person to
purchase Grifin, or any other man, with
pot cash. ntbe meantime the Brig.
Generals, COlonels, and Suffers of the
foraker array are working the bribery
racket for all t is worth.

HE DENIES THE SOFT ImPEACH-
MENT.
From the Alliance Leader.

Our good friends Of the Canton News
DEMoCXAT, in a w0uld-be witty and
humorous article, intimates that re
cent item published in the Leader was
fake. Fhe Leader doesn't need to
fake its news, and stands ready to prove
the truth Of the article in every Particu-
lar. However, il an item of news
shoald be wrong once in while, ii is an
error in no wise to be compared to the
misbaps which befall paper which is
compelled to run it's editorials on the
boiler plate plan. 1t must be humiiiat-
ing for the official Democratic organ of
the county to have to acknowledge
that it has twice palmed off as editorial
matter long and severe high tariff
articles. The editor excuses himself
and tries to blame the foreman with
being responsible for the blunder. Bet
ter look out, General, or that foreman
will be raising the rebel flag over that
new building sometime during the
editors absence"

ELSEWHERE we print an editorial
from the Alliance Leader, which is all
wrong so far as IL touches us. The
News DEMOCRAT neither buys nor

have been buying of the American

New York Tariff Reform League.
None of these articles were ever printed

A VETERAN ON PENSIONS.

Gen. Slocum of New York has a val
liable article in the January Forum on
pension legislation. His position ap-
pears to be IN favor of liberal pensions
to all soldiers who were either wounded
or disabled in the war, but he is oppos-
ed TO the theory of the pauper pension
bill of the last Congress, which pensions
soldiers who have become disabled or
poverty stricken since the war. Gen.
Slocum quotes the message Of Gen.
Jackson in 1884, ip which he comments
on The pension legislation in the inter
est of the soldiers OF the Revolutionary
war, and the war of 1912. In his mess
ageto Congress President Jackson said:
Il recommend that an actual inspec.
tion should be made in each state into
the circumstances and claims Of every
person now drawing a pension. The
honest veteran has nothing to fear
from such scrutiny, while the fraudu-
lent claimant will be detected and the
public treasury relieved to an amount
l have reason to believe far greater
than has heretofore been suspected"

PLUTOCRACY AND CONSTERNA-
TION.

[Frcm the Herald. Montgomery, AIal
1t is wonderful with what unstint-
ed condemnation John Sherman was
treated by the Democratic press in all
previous campaigns, and with what
kind consideration the old sinner is
treated now. 1t is not unusual to
note high compliments TO him oy
Democratic rapers; and it is the ex
ception, rather than the rule, for them
to express preference for any other
Republican to succeed him in the
senate. To retire an old and success
full leader Of the opposition has always
been regarded as good politics; but
these Democratic editors seem to think
that John Sherman Is great factor for
good to the whole people, very sudden
ly, and really seem to be anxious for
his return to the senate. Why is this ?
The fact that John Sherman is the
Republican representative of plut0c-
racy, and that Democratic plutocracy
is almost the same, makes the differ
ence. The Democratic masses note
these remarkable freaks of the politi-
clan with wonder and CONSERVATION.

Postmaster corl Writes Private Letter.

NAVARRO, o., Dec. 29.-iSpecial,I-It is
now learned that McKinley's postmaster
here, Frank Mayflower Corl was instruct
ed by Editor Frease to interview all the
Sherman men and send interviews to the
Repository for publication. This work
Corl did. When he sent the list of Sher-
man men (some 40) he wrote Editor
Frease private note saying Representa-
tive John Thomas was for Foraker, and
made some suggestions. IL was this let
ter that brought Frease here with his big
diamond, and his other influence.

silence concerning this appointment
Mansfield Shield,
In voting for Gov. Campbell, Col,
Pocock showed his good sense and pa
triotism. All of McKinley's intimate
friends in Canton voted for Campbell
in 1889. Gov. Mckinley was then not
an admirer of Gov. Foraker, in fact, he
wanted to see him disposed of, .as a

matter. We have also printed
most of McKinley's leading
speeches. But we never print
ed McKinley's speeches as editorial, or
because we liked them, but because we
are printing a newspaper. Any reput-
able Republican who has views Of
enough interest to interest even q com
Portable minority of our readers, can
always get respectful hearing in our
columns. We print newspaper of
Democratic opinions, but we are not so
hide bound as to exclude fair presen-
tation of the other side.

GREAT pressure is now bearing on
Mckinley to induce him to declare for
Sherman, but the cautious and foxey
Major is too adroit for that If there
should be few more fist fights and a
shot gun episode or two between the
rival clans of Sherman and Foraker,
there might be disposition to select
another man for Senator, in which case
the Major intends to be in a condition
of acceptance.

M. Tirard does not seem to know
that the Mckinley bill was not made
for the benefit of the people, but for the
benefit of certain classes, that have
been enabled through its operations, to
enrich themselves inordinately, out of
the earnings of the masses.

Mr.. GRIFFIN appears to be in very
deep hole in the bribery story. Two
reputable citizens made affidavit that
he did say he was cffered $1,000 to vote
for Sherman. Griffin says he didn't
make such a statement. The pre-
sumption is that he did say so and is
now trying to hedge, having discovered
that the yarn has reacted upon bis
friend Foraker Toledo Bee.

The Mckinley organs seem to take
the greatest delight in the publication
of testimony to the effect that the new
law Injuries French trade and brings
distress to French workmen. They find
an especially delicious morsel in the
statement of Mr.. Van Bergen, who an
nually exports to the United States tex
tiles to the value of 100000, that "the
people have worked at starvation
prices, and the manufacturers have
consequently been able to sell goods at
prices which permit their being landed
in America at about the same prices
as previous to the passage of the Nc.
Kinley bill" To these organs of pro-
tectionsm run mad it seems consum-
mate achievement of craftsmanship
not to protect an American industry,
for where the selling price here remains
about the same there is no protection,
but to inhct the greatest injuries upon
the people of other countries and force

wages. This is protectionism reduced
