DUBLIN. Sept. 29.-At meeting of the
National federation to-day. Justin Nc
Carthy presiding. 4 manifesto was ad-
dressed to Irishmen In America and Aus
srAlia. 1t says: I'VE address yen on the
national cause at an auspicious time and
from an auspioious position. Our demand
for justice has been advanced by the power
OF the people to another stage that Ia de-
cisive and all but final" Continuing the
manifesto says: "The prospect now before
MS is full of cheer and should inspire re-
newed and redoubled effort, for it shows
the sure way TO victory. As result Of the
general elsotion at which the supreme ques-
ton was home rule the electors of Great
Britain and Ireland. after six years. expert
once with government hostile to home
rule and devoted to coercion, established
an administration founded on the prinei-
pls that Satisfaction must be given the Just
demands of Ireland without loss of time.
We are convinced of the sincerity Of the
liberal leaders, net only because Of
the course pursued by the liberals since
Gladstone adopted home rule, but also be-
cause their interests demand such perma-
nent settlement as Ireland can cordially
accept. Legislative industry applied to
other proposals would be simply labor lost.
I'VE do not forget the declarations Of
Balfour that no matter what the bill may
be. the house of lords will reject 1t. We
also bear in mind Gladstone's warning that
If the house of lords rejected measure
deliberately adopted by the country they
would do SO at the peril Of the chamber,
To suppose the house OF lords existing by
popular sufferance. would venture to offer
obstinate resistance to the will of the peo-
pie would be to imagine something con-
trary to invariable experience in the history
of parliaments, besides being opposed to
common sense. If, in contempt of ex-
perience, they SO obstruct home ruls bill
as to delay the passage of other measures
imperatively required by the British peo-
pie, they can be effectually dealt with in
such manner as not only to enforce the
passage of home rule bill, but to end all
hereditary obst uotions.
Success s near. In the meantime we
need the help of the people to maintain
the movement with viCor. The strain Ia
inc, easing. and will increase as the final
stage OF the struggle approaches. We need

IT seems to be very generally under
stood that HarriSon's recent attempt TO
twist the tail of the British lioD, was
move for the Irish vote. He did not
get holding tail hold, however. The
whole Behring Sea controversy has
been farce from the beginning. 1t
will be remembered during the last year
of President CIeveland's administration

papers that with man like Blaine for

EXCEL WINS.
Tho Democrats Capture Alliance
and Give the Republican.Prohi-
bition Crowd Good Trouncing

The election at Alliance %as holly con-
tested and 1t proved complete victory
for the Democratic ticket. Chapman, the
candidate of the Republican, Prohibition
ring, for which the Alliance Review was
mouthpiece, was disastrously defeated by
M. B, Excel, the Democratic nominee, by
a majority of nearly one hundred and
seventy five votes. The NEws-DRMoCRAT
was the only daily paper to champion
the cause of Excel and the victory of this
sturdy young Democrat against the oppo-
sition of the Reviewand its ring OF Re
publican Spouters il indeed gratifying.
The Democratic candidate for marshal
was also elected aud thus the discom-
future of the Chapman aggregation is
douhly Intensified. The Fight was one Of
the fiercest ever Witnessed In the city and
Alliance has cause to feel proud over the
result,

Hon. THOMAS B. REED in his Provl-
dence (R. I) speech said: "The Nc.
Kinley bill is only revision of the
tariff system" When the Democratic
House, in the Mills bill, proposed to re-
duce the then existing tariff from AZ to
az per cent, it was accused of attempt
ing to foist upon the country free
trade measure, while the Mckinley bill,
which increased the average tariff rates
from AZ to 60 per cent, Is "only re-
vision" One more "Ievision" of the
same kind would increase the number
from 10000 to $4,000 of the men who
now own and control nearly S40,0C0,-
600 900 of the S65,OO0OO0,0OO of wealth
of this country; increase the number of
men out of employment from 100000
to 1000 900; fll the byways and high
ways with tramps and crowd to over
flowing the poorhouses of the land.
That kind of revision may suit the
Reeds and their party, but the people
demand something else; tariff for
revenue and not for robbery.-Plain
Dealer.

markable Democratic gains.
The Democrats have elected q Demo

AND NOW A aERRYMANDRR.

The Ripper gang are not yet through
with their devious deviltry. AS the
Ripper bill may fail in the Senate. even
if it gets through the House, aud as
they are ali knocked out in Mondays
election, they now propose to rip up
Canton with partisan gerrymander of
the wards; so as to make the city Re-
publican, even as against a large pOpu-
lar vote. This scheme Of scoundrelism
aud robbery is now on the boards. All
claims of fair play and decent methods
have been abandoned by this greedy
gang of conspirators. Well, let them
proceed. The people; the honest peo-
pie, will be heard from later.

IT Is generally concs ded that the re. dis
trictipg bill Is not q credit to the general
assembly. About the only excuse for it's
pc ssage Is the fact that the ripper leRlsla-
ture passed much worse bill, but that Is
O very poor excuse. 1t will not displease

When Col. Mack, of the Sandusky

wicked human nature. We regret that
Mack and more like him are not mem

it is now composed it is a disgrace to a
great State like Ohio.

THE reports sent cut from Cincin-
natl and Columbus the night of the
elections, that the result showed Repub-
licsn gains throughout the State, turn
out to be false. 1t is right the other
way. The result shows large Demo
cratic gains. The most notable is in
Toledo, where later returns give the
Democrats a majority of the City
Council. The Toledo Blade of April 5,
in commenting on the result says:
"The loss of the Council is the most
serious blow. In every ward where a
loss is recorded, there are different
reasons for the result"
Even Ashtabula has gone Democrat
ic, and the Democrats carried both ALI
ance and Bellefontaine.

TIE HOLMES co. NEGRO TEaT WAS
HUNG.

Some of our Republican exchanges
are expressing great indignation be-
cause a negro was hung by mob In
MilIersburg, and the Holmes county
Democrats come in for much abuse. 1t
is pc haps just as well that the bottom
facts of the reported outrage be print
ed. We obtain these facts from L ewyer
Pomerene of Caution, who has Just re-
turned from Holmes county. The negro
hanged is dead, but he had been dead a
long time before he was hung. 1t was
wooden negro, with the black paint
badly worn off, that had done duty in
front of cigar store for at least ten
years. This negro was taken from its
pedestal one dark night last week, in
the new moon, and hung to tree in
the Court House yard. or course it
was great outrage, but there is no
evidence that the Democrats did 1t.
The election of 1891 showed 126 Repub-
licans in Millersburg. Some of these
may have perpetrated the outrage.

IT is not good thing for party to
have variety Of organs. The Repub-
licans in the disastrous campaign that
they have just closed, had too many
organs. They had the Evening Rep,
the Saturday Roller, and the Sunday
Herald. With only the Rep. they might
have elected Justice of the Peace,
two members of the Council and four
members of the Board of Education.
With only the Rep. and the Roller they
might have secured three members of
the Board Of Education and two mem
bers Of the Council; but loaded with the
Sunday Herald aggregation, they lost
everything but the Seventh Ward,
aud the Councilman elected there dis
tinctly repudiates the Herald gang.

ATTENTION LEGISLATORS.

We need no Ripper Legislation for
Canton. Our business men, our manu-
facturers, our home owners, and nearly
all our leading citizens are opposed to
the present Ripper bill, now pending in
the House. We have no important
public improvements in progress; we
have none in prospect, and we don't
need any expensive Board of Control to
take charge of the affairs of this city.
If this Legislature passes this Ripper
bill it will be in defiance of popular
opinion, and in defiance of the best
judgment of cur best citizens. We
trust no Democrat in the Legislature
will vote for this odlous Ripper bill,
Any Democrat voting for it, will not
fail to hear from that vote among his
home constituents.

AS to the price of wooden goods,
knowitis asserted by the minority of
the committee that there has never
been a time when woolen goods were SO
cheap as they have been since the pas
sage of the Mckinley bill. The gentle
men could not possibly be more mis-
taken. 1t is not true that wooden goods
are as cheap as they were before the
passage of that bill. They are either
increased in price, or, what is more
common, have been reduced in quality
by the addition of more adulterants
than, before the inventions recently in-
troduced, it was possible to put into
them and make them hold together.
Never before the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill was there a time when so
much bogus wool and so much cheap
and nasty clothing wss sold for good
prices to the American citizen, and
especially the American workingman,
as today.-Congressman Warner, of
New York.
