you that in giving my reasons for be-

/ invite the criticism of those who have
heretofore supported me for Official hon
oTs In the republican party, and of
everybody else, and shall expect to be
handled without gloves. In looking for
reasons searched many times longer
and more diligently for reasons why 1
should remain~l In the republican party
than for reasons which would Justify
my leaving 1t, and could not. You
doubtless remember that after the pas

which was to take effect in 1879, many
republicans became dissatisfied with the
financial policy, withdrew, and Joined
the greenback party. The resumption
act as originally passed contemplated
the destruction of greenbacks as fast
as paid. The greenback party by dis
cussion and agitation showed the dan
ger of that policy so plainly that the re
publican party just six months before
the act went into effect, passed another
supplemental act that provided that the
greenbacks should be reissued as fast
as redeemed, which latter act saved the
country from financial disaster, and
saved the republican party. The men
who went into the greenback party got
all the abuse and none of the credit. l
speak OF this to illustrate the great ad-
yantages to come from agitation ard
discussion; the discussion that has been
going on IN the Farmers Alliance and
Peoples party has educated the people
beyond the point of relying on leaders,
but they must see it themselves.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP FIRE


CALDWELL, KAs., August 26.-All
day yesterday this town was enveloped
in cloud of smoke coming from the
Cherokee Strip. The action Of the ad
ministratiOn in allowing the Cherokees
to hold cattle on the strip had so in.
censed the homeSeekers that meeting
was called, and, although 1t was held
with closed doors, it is now known that
1t was for the purpose of calling for
volunteers to burn every spear of grass
on the Cherokee strip. These volun-
teers took their departure on Monday
night and scattered in all directions.
The work Of Tuesday is only the begin
ming Of what will be done. The Chero-
KEGS have called on the military to sup
press the incendiaries, but they are
powerleSs. There are not enough men
in the regular service to prevent the
homeseekers from accomplishing their
end. These men know every foot of
the strip, and whole regiment could
not capture one boomer or convict him
after he was captured. The homeseekers
are thoroughly organized and their ac-
lions are secret. They propose that as
long as they are kept out of the strip
that no one else shall be benefited by it.
TAHLEQUAH, l. T., August 28-.The
Cherokees are wild with excitement
over the recent order of President Har-
rison, permitting them to Craze cattle
on the outlet. Some are working cat
tie scheme. some are for flooding the
country with settlers. and others are
stalking off farms and stretching WIRE
for large pastures. Cattlemen just in
from the outlet say that by next week
there will be Ave million head of cattle
on the strip.
ST. LOUIS, August 26.-The latest ad-
vices from the Chickasaw nation state
that Governor Byrd is having notices
posted in all conspicuous places
throughout that nation, notifying the
white settlers that no more permits to
reside in that country will be granted
them upon the expiration of the per-
mits now held. The farmers are also
notified not to seed wheat or plant any
fall crops, as they will positively be
elected from that nation as rapidly as
permits they now hold expire.

An Appropriate Occasion.

Among our citizens there are
none held in higher esteem for
knowing how to seize an opportun-
ity than the respected landlord OF
the Rempel House.
When A. II. Brooke lets an OPP
portunity go by without tarring
his degits and selling it, there is in
existence an extremely rarefied
condition of the atmosphere.
Allan can see an opportunity
about as clearly as any man with
in radius of four thousand miles
and has given demonstration OF
the fact.
Mr.. Brooke is IA Republican from
force of birth, education and in
clination and as such argues that
the tariff is not tax, hut when we
attempt to prove his professed
faith by his works we make fail
ure.
Mr.. Brookes tenth wedding an
niversary occurs on next Monday,
and like prudent citizen he takes
this opportunity to evade the
odious and Qnerous VI cKinley duty
by celebrating the occasion, and
thus refusing to be protected a la
tin god. We hope Mr.. and Mrs,
Brooke pay have pleasant ami
versary, and may So stock the
kitchen with tinware as to render
eLJirely unnecessary the payment
of any tin tax until Democratic
Congress gets y whack At the law.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

James Edwin Campbell was born
at MiddletoWn, Butler County, o.,
on the 7th day of July, 1843. His
father, Andrew Campbell, was a
physician of prominence; and his
uncle, Lewis d. Campbell, States
man of note. One of his ancestors
was Captain John Parker, who com
manded the Colonial Troops at the
battle of Lexington, and another
was with Montgomery at the as
sault on Quebec. Both of his grand
fathers were soldiers in the war of
1912.
Receiving a fair education he be-
gan teaching at the age of eighteen,
but soon after went into rhe Navy,
serving upon the Mississippi and
tributary rivers, and taking part
in naval engagements at Fort De
Russy, Tunica Bend and other
places. He was discharged for
disability and sent home, but re-
covered, studied law, and began
practicing at Hamilton in 1867. He
served the county of Butler as
Prosecuting Attorney from 1876 to
1880, and was candidate for the
State Senate in 1879, being defeat
ed by twelve votes.
In 1882 he was elected to Con-
gress in Il strong Republican dis
trict; was reelected in 1854, and
again in 1886, gaining the last vic
tory by the meagre plurality of
two votes in total of more than
$4,000. His career in Congress was
marked by close applications to the
interests of his constituents, and
he was especially active in the
cause of eX-soldiers and of the la
boring classes.
In 1889 he was elected Governor
of Ohio, receiving the largest vote
ever cast in the State for any can
didate for Governor, and 46,21S
more than the Democratic candi-
date at the preceding gubernatori-
al election. In the Governors of
flee he has been noted for an infex-
ible adherence to that which he
deemed to be right.
In 1870 he married Miss Owens
of Hamilton, and they have four
living children, respectively aged
twenty, eighteen, twelve and six
years. He is domestic in his hab-
its, an attendant upon the Presby-
terian church, and member of the
following orders: Grand Army of
the Republic, Elks, Masons and
knights of Pythias.

through his entire school course.
He entered the Ohio State Uni
versity and graduated in the class
ical course in 1883. During his
junior and senior years in the Un-
iversity he was tutor in Latin and
Greek.
Immediately upon graduation
Professor Miller was chosed Supt.
of the public schools of Eaton,
Ohio, which position he held for
three years. He was then elected
to similar position at Ottawa, o.,
where eremained four years, being
reelected each year at an increase
of salary. In 1889 Prof. Miller was
nominated by the Dayton conven-
ton for the Office of State Commits
soner of Com mon Schools, and was
defeated by the late DR.. John Han
cock. In 1890 he was made Supt.
of Sandusky city's schools, and this
spring, on DR.. Hancock's death
Gov. Campbell appointed Prof.
Miller School Comm issioner, which
Office he now holds.
JOHN M'NAMARA,
The candidate for Board of Public
Works, is plain, every day country
storekeeper at New Portage, in
Summit county. He was born in
Ireland in 1928, and settled in his
present home in 1868. He has been
Justice of the Peace, Township
Trustee and Postmaster. Last
year he was defeated for the nom
ination by Leopold Kcefe, of Piqua.
A. j. TRUMBULL,

Patterson and Kelley, was the re-

Wants To BE a Senator.

The Republicans of this Senator
ial gerrymander met at Athens on
Thursday and nominated Abbott,
of Morgan county for State Sena-
tor.
Mr.. Abbott will be remembered
by Il portion of our citizens as the
gentleman who presided at the Re-
publican funeral held here last year
that nominated Lewis for Congress.
Abbott when quite a young man,
for he is not yet old, began his po-
litical life as IA Democrat, but living
in the Republican county of Nor
gan, and having an ungovernable
appetite for official pabulum, he
laid his principles on the altar of
his ambition and donned the Re-
publican garb.
He received the desired rewards
being elected clerk of courts of
Morgan county.
He processes to be a Republican
in all the words and means, and is
Il devOut worshiper at the shrine of
the tin horn god of protection, and
swallows all the odeous doctrines
OF his party at gulp, force bill,
gold single standard and all.
AS the campaign progresses we
will, most likely, have something
to say concerning Mr.. Abbott and
his candidacy.

The nominee for State Auditor,
was born in Wayne county in 1919,
and is therefore AZ years of age.
He was educated at Vermillion In
