M,KINLEY's STRENGTH AND
wEAKNESS.
From the Wooster JacksOnlsn.

Major Mckinley has elements OF
strength, 1t may be true, but there are
overbalancing ones of weakness. He
is the author Of an unjust, oppressive
and iniquitous tariff measure that bears
his name; that remanded him to tenn.
porary retirement at the elections OF
1890, and that created reactionsry
movement in politics that routed and
defeated the Republican party in hither.
to Northern Republican States.
He possesses simply the average
ability of the average Congressman
nothing more nor less-and has achiev-
ed (for history at least) his precarious
reputation-by letting and sub-letting
himself to monopolies, manufacturers
and trusts, to the sacrifice of the we'll
being and interest of the poorer classes
and the laboring man.
There is no music to Mckinley in the
crush of the toiler's spade in the hard
and crusted earth, in the noise of the
delivers pick in the noxious mine, in
the stroke of the woodman's axe, or the
rattle of cart wheels in the scorching
sun.
His melodies emanate from aristo-
cratic drawing rooms, from gaily trim
med and gilded boudoirs, from Capitol
ian dancing halls, from the gushing
laughter of the wives and daughters Of
swagged and bloated millionaires, from
parlors and rugs and carpets flushed
with Oriental colors and designs, from
the rattle of gold on the counters of the
national banks, from brass bands on
hotel balconies, from the plash of waves
on summer yachts, and the golden, dia-
mond-spotted promises of money
barons and millionaire manufacturers.
His strength consists in his urbanity
and suayity; his Napoleonic form ()
and attitudinizations his hand. shak-
ing proelivities; his sugary style; his
sweetered looks; his stimulation of hon.
esty; but not in intellectual brilliancy,
power of disputation, or in any ordinary
capacity in debate.
Now, that he is nominated for Gov
ernor of Ohio, the collection plate will
soon be in circulation again. "Give
and take" represents the principle rec.
ognized by the Napoleopic Cautonian
in his dealings with corporations, mo-
nopolies and trusts. He will discover
before the first of the coming Novem-
Der that his brazen frauds and the cor.
ruption fund he transported into this
Congressional District in the campaign
of 1890, are not forgotten by the Demo
Gratis, and that these will be unearthed
and exhumed and arrayed against him
as fatal, damning testimony to his sys-
TEN of practical politics" If he ex-
poets in his gubernatorial fight to escape
unlashed and unwhipt by the Demo.
cratic press of this Congressional Dis
trict and the State, he had better, at the
earliest stage of the conflict, retire from

FRIGHTENED RE pupL1oANs,
Foers Expressed that ne knights or
Labor VIM Bolt Mo .sinley.

lFrom Plain Dealer SpeclaLl
COLUMBUS, June 29.-The statements
telegraphed the Plain Dealer last night,
concerning tho outcome of the Knights of
Labor conference, were substantially cor.
rect. Today 1t is learned that the Repub-
licans were greatly alarmed over the
threatening attitude and the managers in
this city kept the wires hot between WASH
ington,. Canton and Columbus. Some
time yesterday afternoon a telegram was
received from Secretary Foster, dated at
Washington, in which he said basis OF
agreement could be reached, and this led
to the appointment OF the committee mem
toned last night. At noon today the con-
ference closed and Mr.. Powderly and
others of the executive board left for
Washington. A significant fact 10 the de-
parture of Secretary of State Ryan and
Attorney General Watson on the same
train. The latter gentlemen 90 to New
York to attendto certain business in con-
nection with the sinking fund, but their
departure on the train with the distin-
guished leaders of the knights is looked
upon as a somewhat peculiar accident.
The knights " ils demand satisfactory rec
ognition from the and unless
President Harrison aud other officials
accede this, the knights will take hand
in the defeat OF Mckinley.

TIE BoopLHRs MUST GO.

A Republican revolt has assumed
formidable proportions in Philadelphia,
forecast of what may be expected in
Ohio and other states before the fall
campaign has been well inaugurated
An address to the Republican masses
has been issued signed by $50 prominent
citizens of Philadelphia, who have here.
tofore been identified with the Repub-
lican- party, but who are disgusted with
the leadership of the party and demand
purer methods and better men. While
the principal assault is made upon SEN
ator Quay, yet the keynote to the situa.
ton is struck when 1t is asserted that
"the poison of political corruption and
dishonesty have alike affected those
who have promoted and those who have
permittedit. Itbas produced aparaly-
sis running through moral causes to
material results. Many Of our good
citizens have been blind and deaf to
the conditions about them until the
vicious system and the evil principles
which have been tolerated so long have
brought forth fruit after their kind.
But when loose political morals and
methods have eliminated In appalling
defalcations and an increased tax rate,
none will dare dispute the value of
sound principles In politics"
Il While no appalling defalcations"
goad the Republican voters of Ohio to
revolt the "poison of political Coz rup-
ton and dishonesty" which placed
S250OO0 of corruption funds in the
hands of the present Republican nom
inee for Governor of Ohio, to corrupt
the voters of the Sixteenth Congress
sional District last fall, should excite a
still deeper alarm, because OF its more
insiduous and farther reaching effects.
In concluding their address the Phil
adelphia Republicans say "the demand
for the retirement of these men from
the places they have dlsgraced must be
unhinching. The political methods
which they have adopted must be dis
continued, and in their place must be
substituted only those consistent with
sound morals and with the practice of
honorable men," They further say that
If they are not insisted upon and adopt
ed, the Republican party of Pennsyl-
vania is doomed, since mo party can
long survive the deliberate abnegation
of principle on the adoption of the
heresy that the people at heart have
ceased to believe in right"
The people of the United States are
again asserting themselves, and in Ohio,
as in Pennsylvania and the country
over, will consign the agents of trusts,
monopolies, combines and tin plate
frauds to the obscurity from which they
spring.
The boodlers must go.

"TIMEs are very hard and 1 wonder
what the reason is ?" said the wife of a
Canton high protectionist yesterday
She should interview the farmers wife
who came to town the same day with her
husband when he brought the wool for
sale, expecting at the same time tobuy
a new frock. He got 2S cents pound for
his wool and she paid go cents yard for
figured de lai'le (wooD dress. All on
account of the Mckinley bill, which
puts up the price of foreign manufac-
lures and brings down the price Of home

COMMON PLEAS JUDGE.
Much Feeling Over the Selection Of Judge
Pease's Successor.

Much Feeling Over the Selection Of Judge
Pease's Successor.
There is considerable feeling over the
selection OF the Republican candidate for
Judge. The Repository publishes long
announcement for Judge Joseph Frease
but neglects to mention that Judge Arson
Pease and L. T. McCarty are candidates.
The Reps" announcement also con-
taius several sly shots at the other can,
didates.
The document will not be very pleasant
reading for the friends of Judge Pease and
T. L. McCarty. 1t is as follows:
EDITOR REPOSITORY: PLEASE announce
the name of the Hon. Joseph Frease, of
Canton, as o candidate for Republican
nomination for Common Pleas Judge. He
has been q resident OF Stark county for
over 18 years. Some years ago he very
acceptabiy filed the office OF District and
Common Pleas Judge for this district, in
which positions his judgments were un-
usually accurate, and were but seldom re-
versed. He transacted business with dis
patch, ahd by vigilance in preventing un.
nessessary expense, saved tolitigants, and
to the public, many thousands of dollars
annually. He has been fully tested ana
has not been found wanting. His riohfin.
alton for this important Office, in filling
which the public cannot afford to make a
mistake, would be no reconsideration or
ill-advised experiment. As the judge to
be elected will be practically for Stark
county, the people of this county have
a,SI AaH ND
interest In the result than those of the
other two counties of the subdivision.

THE SUGAR COATED PILL.
From tho Toledo Bee.

The New York Tribune is good Re-
publican authority, and its assertion
will not be disputed when it says the
repeal of the duties on sugar is "the
most popular feature of the Mckinley
tariff" Repeal of duty on anything is
sure of popularity in the duty-ridden
condition to which the Mckinley tariff
has brought us. None the less this ad-
mission of the Tribune is a contradic.
tion of every argument it has advanced,
or can advance, in support of the Nc
Kinley tariff.

A ROMANTIC WEDDING.
The Girl Provides the Money to Pay
the Justice,
And Attends to tho Marriage Ldcenso.--
She WIN Evidently bo the Banker in the
Future

Constable Falla went TO Minerva Mon
day and brought up youth named Cal
win Rudy who was wanted to explain q
little matter In which he was charged with
something not altogether in keeping with
strict virtue.
Rudy formerly lived In this city and
during his stay here he was quite intimate
with one Emma Ehlers, q domestic at the
Union Hotel. Emma reciprocated his af-
fectionate attentions and for time every
thing went along smoothly. A few months
ago, however Rudy left the city and went
TO Minerva to live, where his folks reside.
Before leaving he borrowed some s2S
from the girl which he promised TO repay,
but has never done so. Rudy did not res
turn and II soon began to be apparent
that his love had not only been for the
time being quite intense but also very
indiscreet.
The result was that yesterday the girl
wentto Squire Wettach's office and signed
an affidavit charging him with bastardy.
When he was brought up for arraignment
overtures for settlement were made on
matrimonial basis. But here difficulty
presented itself. Calvin had squandered
the S2S hc had borrowed from the girl and
he had no wherewithal with which to pro-
cure license and pay the justice.
In fact he didn't seem to be very enthu-
siastic over the prospect of his coming
nuptials any how, but Notwithstanding
he finally agreed to take the girl IL she
would get the license, pay the squire and
attend to the other necessary details. She
produced the cash and the wedding took
place. The parties started for Minerva
together but whether they ever reached
there has not been learned.

IT was only on Saturday that a Re
publican farmer of Stark county went
into Mr.. Collars store in Canton to sell
his wool. He only reads Republican
newspapers, and hence he had not heard
o,the great list of disasters to our wool
en- manufacturers on account Of the Nc.
Klnley bill, which has greatly depressed
the price of wool. When 27 OF 2S
centswas mentioned to him he was
much shocked. 1t seems he attended the
Massillon convention last year, or at
least, had read McKinley's speech, pre-
dieting a great advance in wool on ac-
count of the increased tariff. When he
learned that the price was four
cents lower than last year, he
got hot. Then he went mad. Then,
1--WE are sorry to record0 he commenced
to swear. A Democrat, who heard him,
was greatly shocked. He said damn
the Mckinley bill" several times. Then
he said he liked Mckinley, and had
always voted for him, but he would be
Externally damned If he would ever
vote for him again" We regret that
profanity is spreading in the rural dis
tricts on account of the Mckinley bill,

The Republicans here say there was

they will not accept bets offered by
leading Democrats. One gentleman
offers to bet any sum that Mckinley
will not have within 500 of the vote
that he received in Stark county last
fall. There are no takers and this is
considered an admission that voters
were imported from other counties. If
there were no importations why should
Mckinley lose 500 votes in a yearp 1t
either shows that there was crooked
work last fall, or else that he has be-
