think IL would be better tactics to attack
the governors administration. IL would
instantly put the governor on the defensive.
Governor Mckinley In evidently pleased
with the prospect OF a pure tariff hight with
more favorable conditions than prevailed
last year. The discomfort occasioned by the
hard times, relief from which 10 beginning
to come. will undoubtedly influence many
laborers who have been thrown out OF en-

In his opening speech at Newark Col. w.
a. Taylor, the democratic candidate for
lieutenant governor. dipped lightly into the
sensational by charging that MAJ. Dick.
Chairman OF the republican state executive
committee. had entered into a contract
with pension attorney I'm Washington, ID.
C., by which his circulars were to be put
into the hands Of every soldier and soldiers
descendant In this state. Besides cam
paign literature the envelopes were to carry
certain propositions for increase Of pen
sions. and the recipients were asked 20 ad-
dress the attorney. each inclosing five -
cent postage stamps. Col. Taylor estimate
ed that there were 10000 persons In Ohio
to whom these letters would be addressed.
BY a system Of approximation he arrived
at the conclusion that Maj. Dick and the
attorney would realize at least $4,000 each
out OF the scheme before the end OF the
and their descendants.
Major Dick was out OF the state at the
time but since his return has published a
caustic letter of denial. In which he refers
to the colonels statement a lie" The
attorney has also written q letter here for
publication. in which he denies that he has

Democrats Lack Money.
Word comes from the democratic state
executive committee rooms that money Is

regiment on Ohio day at the worlds fair
about eight miles and few Of the soldiers
were accustomed TO such work: 20 many
were overcome by the heat. They blamed
Governor Mckinley for the heavy march

regiment itself was TO blame. There was

This gave each man additional WEIGHT OF
forty pounds to carry. II IN an amusing
