s'H. ID. PHILLIPS"
This is the full and complete expo
sure of the nefarious scheme and fixes
the connection between the chairman
of the republican state executive COM
mittee and Phillips the pension shark,
in this attempt to beguile democratic
soldiers out of their vote and their
money.
Every charge mad by Col Taylor is
fully sustained by the above letter,
which is only part of the document
airy proof that can be produced.
It shows that the republican commits
tee furnished the printing, the envelopes
and the postage stamps, while Phillips
was to furnish the false pretense ''per-
sonal letters" and send the whole in-
famous thing through the mails, to the
names to be furnished by Chairman
Dick, as detailed in the above letter. .
II needs no further comment. Can
any soldier vote the republican ticket
after seeing this exposure? Can any
honest man do it?
Is it possible that the cruel, brutal
treatment of inmates in the Dayton
Insane asylum is to pass away without
proper consideration from Mr.. McKin-
ley? Is the management to remain the
same? Are the patients to be kicked
and bruised to death? Is drunkenness
and ineficiency to go unrebuked and
unpunished? Gov. Mckinley should
cease campaigning and, if possible, re-
organize the management of the Day
ton Insane asylum The poor un-
fortunates, bereft of reason, and
shrouded in mental darkness,
should not be subjected to the
cruelties in which brutal attendants de-
light to indulge, Let there be an awak-
ening on the part of the governor to a
share of his own awful responsibility
in the inhuman treatment of the i'm

ing and swindling the democratic sol
diers of the state out of their votes and
at the same time rob every soldier and
every soldiers widow and every de
pendant orphan out of ten cents each
which, in the aggregate, would amount
| to tens of thousands of dollars.
This expose is best given in Col. Tay,
lors own eloquent words as follows:
Sand now let me give you speci
men of the love of those sleek repub
lican politicians for the soldier and his
father or mother and his widow and
his orphan. One Charles w. +. Dick,
chairman of the republican state exec,
utive committee, has entered into part,
nership with one Henry D. Phillips, a
pension attorney, of Washington, D. G.,
under which Mr.. Dick agrees to put the
circular of Phillips in the hands of ev,
cry soldier, every deceased soldiers
widow or father or mother, and every
deceased soldiers minor child or guard,
ian in the state of Ohio.
SIN this circular are sixteen ques.
tions with blanks left for answers. The
answers will show the military services
of every soldier who responds, and
what right to pension the other re.
spondents have, if any, and what right
to pension or an increase of pension
the soldiers may have.
"Five two-cent stamps must accom-,
pany each answer.
There are at least 400, 900 men, WON
en- and children in Ohio to whom these
blanks can and will be sent Suppose
that one-half of them should fill out
the circular, and it is likely that num-
Der will, if they are not warned by
what / am now saying and enclose the
stamps, what will the pension agents
harvest be?
s'The mere trife Of $40, 600. Only s2o-
600 for the privilege of filing up Mr..
Henry d. Phillips circular and return
it at their own expense!

vented good many schemes for work

orphan, but this is the worst of all of

be divided don't know, but it is fair
to suppose 1t will be divided even. This
will give $4,000 to Politician Dick and
$4,000 to the opulent pension attorney,
Phillips!
"What beautiful scheme to fry S1O,-
900 worth of fat out of the old soldiers
and widows and orphans to run the re-
publican campaign in Ohio. and $4,000
to pay for champaign and terrapin at
Chamberlain's, and Welcher's, and
Wormley's in Washington.
"And what will the 100000 victims
profit by their $50, 900? Nothing. Their
members in Congress will gladly fur
nish them all the information without
demanding the 100000"
What reply did Messrs. Dick and Phil
lips make to these charges?
AT first Maj Dick threatened to have
Col. Taylor arrested for criminal libel,
but thought better of it.
Then they each wrote letters de-
nouncing Col. Taylor as liar in all
things that he had said. Dick wrote
and declared that he knew nothing OF
Phillips, never had heard of him and
never had any communication with
him.
Phillips wrote and declared that he
had never heard of Dick, knew nothing
about him, had never communicated
with him, and then they both united in
denouncing Col Taylor as a conscience
less liar, and published their joint pro-
duction in such republican newspapers
as would give it space
In the face of the above letter (given
in type below, also) in what light does
Chairman Dick stand as man of truth?
His denial of Col Taylor's charge was
as unequivocal as words could make it.
When he penned that denial he knew
he was uttering falsehood. He stands
before the people of this state as the
representative of the republican or
ganization, and he stands before the
people of this state as convicted liar
Never in the history of politics in Ohio
has the chairman Of the executive com
mittee of either party, prostituted his
high Office for the furtherance of a
scheme whereby he was to be enriched.
The scheme of Phillips s. Dick is not
elevated above petit larceny. Its sole
object was to secure ten cents in post
age stamps from the living soldiers,
and if dead from their widows, their
orphans and their parents. 1t is nefa-
rious to the highest degree, and de-
serves the condemnation, not only Of
the soldiers, but of every honest man
in the state Maj. Dick ought to be
driven from the craftsmanship he has
dishonored, and should be execrated by
every honest man in the state. The
following is the Phillips letter in cold,
plain type:

A Chilly Duel.

A duel Of an original character was
fought in front Of the Antwerp railway
station. Two gentlemen from Liege,
after a hard days sightseeing, refreshed
themselves SO effectually alta cafe that
from beer to brandy and from argu-
ments to insults they came to blows.
Blood alone could wash away the stain
of their mutual insults, but as deadly
weapons were not kept on the premises
for the use of customers the proprietor
Of the cafe suggested that as the street
was deserted the adversaries should an
nihilate each other with ''doaches," and
he handed to each a portable water pipe.
Cold water being anything but an excit-
ing medium, the combatants after a
thorough drenching shook hands and
hurried to change their garments. Lon
