OF Sc to 6, the worst defeat that the tea
has received this season.
Several causes contributed to the de
feat. One was the fact that Kennicott
and Noyqes, Northwestern half-backs,
We're both disabled, the first not be-
ing able to play at all and the other
playing but a part of the game before
giving out.
NoyeS has been under the care of q
physician for several days and but for
his being captain would not have tried
to play. For the Evanston team .ohep-
hard did the hest work perhaps and for
Madison Thiele's rushes We're magnifi-
cent and the feature OF the game.
By this victory Northwestern, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin are tied for the pen
nant. Northwestern has protested the
game played with Minnesota, however,
and should the protest be allowed
another game will have to be played.

Irfed to Burn the Boss.

STEUBENvnLE Ohio, Nov. 21.-A
party of Hungarians, who were work.
ing on the Panhandle extension above
New Cumberland, on Saturday locked
their boss up in large tool box be-
cause of some imaginary grievance and
deliberately kindled a fire around it.
They were waiting his crema ton when
the teamsters employed on the work
came along, drove them away and re-
leased the partially sufocated man.

repaired to his clearinghouse and

Ohio Republicans Preparing to Put Hin

Ohio Republicans Preparing to Put Him
Up for Governor Again.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. Nov. 18-There
was largely attended aud more than
usually enthusiastic meeting of the
State league of Republican clubs here
yesterday, at which arrangements were
made to open the campaign for Gov
ernor, State officers and mem bers of
the Legislature at the next State con-
vention and banquet of the State
league to be held in this city Feb. IA.
During the session speeches were made
by representative Republicans from all
the Congressional districts and they
spoke in favor of the denomination of
Mckinley for Governor and making a
more vigorous fight than ever on the
issue of protection.
While all the speakers referred to
the conditions which prevailed during
the last campaign, yet most of the mo-
tions, as well us the addresses, were
directed toward the campaign of cam
paigns of 1898 in Ohio. 1t was con-
coded in many of these speeches that
if the Republicans should meet with a
decisive defeat then it certainly would
eliminate the issue of protection from
the code of party principles, but it was
the opinion of all that on that issue
Ohio would be carried by such decis-
I've plurality as to make it an issue in
the election of Congressman in this
State and elsewhere in 1894 and again
in the Presidential canvass of 1896. At
any rate it was decided that this State
would make the initial fight on the
same line as heretofore.

SOCIALISM DID 1T.
Whitelaw Reid Says That is What Beat
the Republicans

the Republicans.
New YORK, Nov. 21.--The Tribune
says to-day: ''The politician who at
tempts to explain the defeat is crying
over split milk. The newspaper which
tolls how it was done is whining
The writer of political obituary has
hardly an enviable task. A defeated
party is supposed to accept with philo-
sophical resignation the rejection
of pet politics, and with the
calmness of the fatalist, tell him
self that it was to have been.
The reasons given for the result of the
recent election are as numerous as the
differences in the minds of the two
parties.
''To him that looks beneath the sur
face there is evidence that the defeat
of the Republican party is not mainly
due to the 'unpopularity' of it's candi-
dates, nor the love which the people
are said to bear for Grover Cleveland,
nor to the Mckinley law, nor to the
desire on the part of the people for
free trade nor because free silver is or
is not wanted. Not through the
superb generalship' of the Democratic
National committee was victory
gainedd, nor was the battle lost
through the 'lamentable incomptency'
of the Republican campaign leaders.
The chief cause of Republican defeat
and Democratic victory is the modern
tendency toward socialism"
