HE BOUGHT A BRIDE,

WARREN, o., Sept. 5.-Warren Smith,

embezzlement, haS escaped from the

Smiths alleged crime reveals startling
story. Reiter, well-tc-do widower liv,
ing at Niles, impressed with the charms
Of widow living at New Castle, made q
matrimonial proposal to her. The woman
had been willing to be wooed without cash
considerations, but she was too mercensry

but was shrswd enough to make the terms

The money wss given to Smith, friend
of Reiter, to be paid to the bride when the
wedding ceremony was conducted. Smith

until he recklessly returned to Niles Sat-

"rhe great event of the week, and

an immense gain towards future conf.

any loose experimenting with this

A STIRRING APPEAL.

has issued a patriotic address to the
voters of Ohio on the issues of the
present campaign. The address is we'll
put and full Of strong points, For in
stance, here is potent and truthful
paragraph:
"We charge, that the present distress
which is affecting every branch of trade
and every avenue of domestic commerce
is the result of vicious and venal legis-
lation enacted by the Republican party.
That IL Is the legitimate fruits of years
of continuous and unremitting assaults
on the natural laws of trade-the i'm
position of hindrances and burdens on
commerce,-th governmental paternal-
ism which throws fostering and enrich

suits, demanding for them tribute
from all consumers and all interests"
The address would have hurt the g. o.

had devoted more space to the record
Of Gov. Mckinley, as Governor of Ohio,
and the infamous record of the last
Republican legislature. The officers,

upon when elected to deal with the

DR.. IKIRT ON SILVER.

Congressman Ikirt has been reported
as voting against the free coinage OF
silver in the votes pending the passage
of the Wilson bill by the house. This
is mistake. DR.. Ikirt voted for the
Bland amendments, and then, after the
amendments were defeated, he voted
against the Wilson bill, as he states,
because he believes it practically de-
monetizes silver in the future. DR..
Ikirt faVors bi-metalism, as expressed
In the National Democratic platform.
In letter, DR.. Ikirt expresses his views
as follows:

HoeoINe TOO MUCH PeRsIMMoNs.


The nomination of Hiram Doll for
Sheriff is somewhat disappointipg &
to his immediate friends. 1t does not
take we'll in the rural regions. The
Republican farmers, some of them,
think Mr.. Doll has had his share of the
public crib, think no one man should
hog all the persimmons. Some Repub-
lican farmers have said this, on the
streets and in the stores of Canton,
during the past week,
Mr.. Doll has enjoyed two terms of
the best paying Office of Stark county
and has realized over $4,000 of good
honest tax money out of his holdings.
Very many honest old farmers make
less than half of this amount, in twenty
years of hard work and scrimping, with
the best lands of the State, even with
the land, say one hundred and fifty
acres, left clear of incumbrance by
some thrifty ancestor.
This same feeling, that Mr.. Doll has
had enough, is expressed right here in
Canton, and Mr.. Doll is finding it hard
work to keep his own party in line,
which is quite different, you know,
from making inroads into the opposi-
tion. Mr.. Doll is already making a
desperate effort to make the disaffected
believe he is still as popular as when he
was fresh from the people, but all ac-
counts agree that he is meeting with
poor encouragement.
The leaders of Canton, who set up
Mr.. Doll, are now beginning to learn
that local politician, especially one
built up on bland smiles and expert
hand shaking, is like the summer rose.
He has his petals expanded in the sun
shine Of prosperity, and his days Of
fragrance and bloom, but the killing
frost, which always comes in early
November, always deadens the rose,
aud its leaves drop into ashes, and the
bloom and fragrance become only a
memory,

Let there be no uncertainty on this
point, because 1t it is vital. Speaking
of the financial situation generally, Mr..
Clews says truthfully:-
"The market has now reached apoint
at which 1t may be expected to be sus-
tanned by steady and continuous i'm
provement In the conditions that in
fluence value. AS confidence spreads
through business, our interrupted in
custries will resume work, depleted
stocks of merchandise will be. re-
plenished, and the catching up OF three
months of lost trade will cause a re-
viving squirt of activity. This COM
mercial recovery will show its result in
increased earnings of the railroads, and
the whole country will return by a
steady and sure process, If not to a
normal activity,-which is too much to
expect 80 soon after such utter pros
tration,--yet to a moderate and con-
servative movement"

THE Leader prints a special from
East Liverpool, giving an account of a
mass meeting of unemployed potters
in that highly protected city, in which
some potters, who voted for DR.. Ikirt
for Congress, favored a resolution for
tariff on pottery wares, sufficient to
cover the difference between potters
wages in East Liverpool and potters
wages in England and Europe. This
sets one to thinking, and we think in
this wise The trouble in East Liver
pool is not one of wages, but of work.
There is no work for the unemployed
potters. Mckinley enacted a tariff
law that has ruined our foreign trade,
and has failed to produce a home mar
ket for our pottery. Hence the potters
are out of work. AT the same time the
Mckinley law stands, and the financial
policy, enacted solely by Republican
votes, also stands. The potters pros
tration, therefore, is the legitimate re-
suit of Republican legislation, both
financial and economic.

CANTON is certainly to be congratu-
lated on both the character and stabil-
ity of her banks. Not bank has
failed during the money famine. And
yet good many farmers and Others
have come in and drawn out their cash
and hid it, where it has earned no in
terest, and where it has only hurt the
poor and aided distress. There is now
urgent need of money to start our big
gest mandatory. If every man who
has idle money will put it into circula-
tion the end of folly will be near.
The general business condition is
healthy.
