Ex-Ccngressman John 8. Wise
spoke al Republican meeting in
Brooklyn, Saturday night. He said
the men who are now crying out
against force bill have been max
ing force bills themselves during the
past two years by stufflng the ballot
boxes and corrupting elections in
the South. The people of Virginia
said once that johnny should not
be Governor and since that verdict
was rendered he has hardly been re-
sponsible for any of his utterances
against the South and especially
Virginia.

The result of the great battle to be

The result of the great battle to be
waged at the polls on next Tuesday,
no one, of course, can predict with
certainty, but the indications seem
10 point to Democratic triumph not
only in the Presidential but in the
Congressional elections. Democratic
success in all the Southern States is
assured beyond any reasonable
doubt-the question of Democratic
victory in New York has almost
ceased to be tcbatable one-New
Jersey is absolutely safe as q Demo
cratic State-there is surely reason
sble grounds for Democratic success
in Connecticut and 1ndiana-and
these States in the Democratic col
umn mean the election of Grover
Cleveland as President. The failure
10 carry all. these States, however,
does not mean defeat for the Demo-
cratic ticket. \ part of the electoral
vote of Michigan and Wisconsin will
surely tie given to Cleveland, Illinois
is keep ng step to the music of Dem
ccratic victory in n manner that looks
like she may wheel into the Demo
,latic column and general hope pre-
walls that the Republican grip in
massachusetts andspossibly in Rhode
Island and New Hampshire may be
broken. In the event. therefore, that
Indiana and Connecticut are carried
by the Republicans, the prospects of
Democratic success in other States
heretofore Republican is so bright
that we could lose these States and
;till win the Presidential fight. and
10 better evidence need be submitted
in-proof thereof than the daily acces-
sions which are being made in doubt
full States of prominent Republicans
to the Democratic ranks. On the
other hand, in several of the north
western States, there is a prospect,
the event enough electoral votes
are not cast for the Democratic tick
ct, that enough of their votes will
lie cast for the Third party ticket to
throw the election into the Demo-
cratic House OF Representatives, and
The election of Grover Cleveland
thereby be insured. To stem the tide
OF popular disproval which thus
seems to threaten the further exist
-ence of the Republican party, they
are relying, for the most part, on the
persuasive power OF Doodle. Can
they avert the disaster which seems
TO await them by that means? We
do not believe it. Individuals made

we believe there is enough virtue and

"The name of the Hon. John L. Monnot

''No man now living in Stark county

ives OF the present congress- h as 'passeSf "A
bill removing the increased duty Imposed
by the Mckinley bill upon tin plate and
providing that within a few years IL shall
90 upon the free .list. II has also passed
the free wool and cheap clothing bill, by
which wool Is admitted free of duty, and
n large reduction sought to be effected in
the tariff upon woOen goods of all de-
scriptions IL has also removed the tariff
upon binding twine. But for the hostility
of Republican senate these measures, so
Just, so beneficial to the people, would
now be upon our statute books. Our
present tariff laws need careful revision.
Their glaring inconsistencies should be
corrected. lt Is to the interest of manu-
facturer and consumer alike that in the
main raw material be admitted free of
duty. Working the raw material into the
finished product would give employment
to our skilled workman. The reduction
of tariff taxes to the minimum upon the
necessaries of life is important to all of
our people; it would prove of inestimable
value to the millions who earn their bread
by daily toll
The contest upon which we have now
entered Is of deep significance to the
American people. Shall high tariff, con.
tinually increasing with the demands of
the protected classes be the settled policy
of our government, or shall there be relief
to the people from the burdens of unjust
taXationi
The Force Bill.
Another issue of great moment in the
pending contest is ne force bifl. The
magnitude of this issue cannot be over
stated. 1t may mean the control of the
election of representatives in congress by
the bayonet.
The Republican party, by its acts in the
Fiity.frst congress- and by its platform,
In its late national convention, stands
pledged to the passage of the force bill.
That it will pass this BILL when it has the
power, no sane man can doubt. To all of
the people-all who desire the peace and
prosperity of our common country-this
question Is important. To the people of
the southern states IL Is one of transcend
ent mportance-Shall they still have
peace and the protection of the law; or
shall the horrors with which they are
menaced find their counterpart only in
those of the darkest hours of the recon
struction period?
Repeal of the Compulsory School Law.
am heartily in accord with the Demo.
cratic party in its efforts to repeal the OBJ
noxious provisions of the compulsory
school law. enacted by a Republican legis-
lature in this state.
1t is passing strange that legislation so
hostile to the spirit of our free institutions
should ever have found it's way to our
statute books. The right of the parent to
exercise reasonable control over the edu-
cation of his child should not be abridged.
The Democratic party of Illinois stands
pledged to the repeal of a law which has,
Justly, given offenae to so many of the
best citizens in our state.

FARM ER'S PICNIC,
A Large Gathering at Folks Woods Near
Louisville LHst Saturday.

The Farmers picnic on Saturday
August 27th in the spacious grove
on the FOX farm three miles east OF
Louisville OF the road to Freehurg, drew
together an ussemblage more like meet
ing than ordinary picnic.
The farmer people, old and young, male
and female, were there from far and near
including Columbiaua county. Setting
there after 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
writer hereof cannot give many particu-
lars, not thiu king of report till after.
No doubt at the noon hour there was
abundance of coed picking, in preparing
which the good farmer's wives and dauRh-
ters are experts. Besides there were
stands which seemed to be well patron
iE I'd and were. or had been, abundenuy
supplied with various edibles, intending
light drinks, melons, etc.
OF course, as usual, our farmer friends
had public speaking, and abundance OF
good music, vocal and instrumental An
rxrellent baud discoursed appropriate
airs in artistic style and good vocal
choir, with male and female voices, as
sisted by an organ, gave many suitable
songs that enlivened the heart and i'm
pre- ssed all with good sentiments aud
pleasing humor.
The stands for the speaking and music
we're suitably decorated with foliage and
flowers, while board seats accommodated
a large part of the crowd. One OF the
striking sights was the horses and car
riaRes that so filled the extended wood
all around, that il took us some time COM
ing so late, to find vacant tree, and
when we did il was 80 large that we had
to make a htching strap out OF the lines.
Mr.. Pomerene of Canton was to be the
principal speaker, but was taken il with
q severe sickheadache and was compelled
TO return home without filing his appoint.
ment, much 10 the regret of all and no
doubt to his own. Other gentlemen how,
ever, were pressed into the service, and
though unprepared, managed to entertain
and satisfy the audience for time.
These social gatherings, after harvest,
have a social feature pecuiiarlyepjoyabe.
Friends meet and greet on these occasions
who dwell far apart aud seldom have such
pleasure and opportunity. No doubt one
of the chief attractions and oae of the
principal enjoyments Is this thing of
meeting face TO face.
