Gov. MCKINLEY spoke to monster
meeting at Elwood, Ind, yesterday,
the occasion being the opening of a
great n-plate plant at that point. The
plant covers about four acres of ground.
The payroll of the mill for the last week
showed 230 employees. OF these fifty
were boys and girls, and rs per cent of
the men, Mr.. Stanford, the Superinten-
dent, says, are skilled laborers, none of
whom is paid less than $3.50, and some
SO per day.
Now let the Democratic tin-plate liar
go look for this mill, and come back and
tell a long suffering people that it only
employs two men and boy.

He Publishes a Card.

DR.. Richardson, chief of the commits
sion that located the insane asylum at UT
near Massilllon, feels keenly the reflec-
tions cast upon that body and has writ
ten long card in which he says Cover
nor Mckinley never, either directly or
indirectly, consulted with or suggested
anything to the commission concerning
the location, and that they put it where
it was best suited, taking the average of
all the points considered. The doctor
says he lost his temper with the Steu-
benville committee because of their re-
Elections after they had been told of the
decision and that he did tell them face
to face that they might call him fool
for error of Judgment, but that he would
allow no man or set of men to impeach
his honor, and he adds that he meant just
what he said.

The Gospel Temperance meeting held in the
scho house on Saturday evening, addressed by
Rev prague, of Morristown, was well attended
aths Agh the audience consisted chiefly of ladies'
proMbitiOnists and minors. 1t is amusing and al
times almost ludircus to witness how studiously
the voters of both the old parties about here avoid
or shun all meetings savoring in the least degree
of temperance. Whether the result of a deep
grounded prejudice or a wavering in conviction,
attended by fear of being completely unsettled
we do not know, but are inclined to the former
opinion. 1t is at any rate strange to see how they
win attend any and all meetings held by the di
rectly opposing party, and in what a martyr-like
way they listen to any amount of SANDER and
"bulldozing," and then how carefully they guard
their feelings by absenting themselves from al
innocent temperance meeting, lest they heal
something offensive. Like the Caudle shirt-bot
tom, it is very strange"

THE one thing the Republicans of
this county and of the State have to
fear is the effect of over-confidence.
Over confidence and inactivity might
turn the county, and State as well, over
to the Democracy. Republicans must
organize to get out the vote. With the
full vote out everything will be right;
with light vote everything might be
wrong. 1t will not do to delay thi
matter. The election is less than eight
weeks away, and beginning of the
work to be done must be made at once
In the absence of great speakers to stir
up the people to the Importance of the
questions at stake, good organization
must be secured.

CLEVELAND was too much of a cow
ard or too much of sympathizer with
the South to go into the army when
drafted, but sent a substitute. Then
when he was President he vetoed all the
pension bills that came his way. Stew

old soldier who thinks of the privation
