What 1t Means.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
came out Monday with long editorial
headed "Let Justice be Done" 1t was
easily distinguishable from the other
matter on that page by reason Of pro-
fusion of "leads." LET Justice Be
Done" What was this about? 1t was
about Gen. Harrison. 1t was a defense
of Gen. Harrison. 1t was a long treatise
on Gen. Harrison's position and rela.
ton to the Mckinley tariff laws. What
caused this remarkable defense at this
time? 1t is very plain, Gov. Mckinley
is making his campaign on the strength
of the high tariff laws that bear his
name. The people want no more tariff
tinkering-want no more Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's high tariff laws. The CONNER
cial Gazette is Harrison paper at heart
and pocket book. This is fact. Con-
sequently the G. G. took the oppor-
tunity to say to the people that Gen.
Harrison had nothing to do with Nc
Kinley's high tariff bill, This was the
gist of "Let Justice be Done" 1t was
simply an open declaration Of Gen. Har.
rison's feeling on the tariff. A public
notice that he was not in sympathy with
Mckinley and Mckinley high tariff. On
the part of the G, G. it was simply an
evidence of what has been said more
than once-that that paper is for Gen,
Harrison for president, and will use all
its influence in that direction as against
Gov. Mckinley.
In this connection it is worth while
noting that the Commercial Gazette il

Mckinley Tricked,

Gov Mckinley has many friends in
Stark county who desire to see him a
presidential candidate, and these same
republican friends now realize that
there is deep conspiracy by Foraker,
Bushnell and Geo. b. Cox to shelve the
governor. Every effort is made to make
him appear ridiculous and to lose him
prestige. The latest evidence is the
spectacle the governor made of himself
as regards the increased debt of the
state. The governor has not been in the
state very much, he has been chasing
around over the country in the interest
of his "boOm,' and it was not to be eX.
pected that he would know much of the
states affairs, so he depended on the
state auditor for facts and figures. The
said auditor fooled Mckinley as to the
actual facts and the latter at once hurled
defiance at Gov Campbell The result
was that Mr. Campbell went back at
him with such force that the governor
made another inquiry. This time he
got the facts and then he had to get up
and acknowledge that Campbell was
right. This act has created the great big
sensation in the republican camp. Bush
nell and Foraker are provoked at Me
Kinley and in turn Gov. Mckinley is
mad at the fellows who led him into the
trap.
1t was simply another foraker scheme
to humiliate Gov. Mckinley. will the
friends of the governor in this county
vote for men who have but one object
the crushing of Mckinley?

The managers of the Republican ma
chine in Ohio are very much shocked to
think that Governor Campbell should
speak in terms of reprobation of extrav.
agance in the administration of public
offices and of legislative corruption.
Their anxiety not to have anything said
on this subject is suspicious, to say the
very least of it. The facts ought to be
discussed and the wrong-d doing de-
nounced.

mark by Governor Campbell: For the

leaders of the party which sent it to Co,
lumbus have been compelled to drive it
out at the end of the first session. A
great clamor has been raised because
they demanded bonus of $9l 900 be-
fore they would vacate; but the people
of Ohio want to thank God and sing
paeans to Governor Mckinley that they
were let off so easily. Never before i'll

THE NEW BATTLE SHIPS,
Contracts for Them to Go to the Ney,
port News Company.

Contracts for Them to Go to the New
port News Company.
Secretary Herbert has practically con-
cluded to award the. contract for the con-
struction of battle ships 5 and to the
Newport News Dry Dock and Ship Build
ing Company of Virginia at their bid of
600 for each ship. 1t was found
upon a careful inspection of the law au-
thorizing the construction of the ships that
the department could not go behind the
face of the bids, so it was not possible to
allow the other bidders to scale down their
p:ds to meet the low bid Of the Newport
News Company, save with their consent
While it was the intention of Congress to
have one of the ships built on the Pacific
coast, if the terms were reasonable in
order to carry out this intent Secretary
Herbert would be obliged to declare that
the difference between the Newport News
bid of S2,35O,0O0 for one ship and the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco bid of 81
100000 for one ship was only reasonable
difference, which he could scarcely do in
the face of the decision made by his pred
ecessor. Secretary Tracy, that this differ
ence should not in any case exceed per
cent.
