SCENE; South Front of the Capitol,
Date 0 p. M, Oct. 10. 1895.
ASA S. BUsHNELL-My fellow citizens,
I hope you will pay no attention to the
figures of speech on all sides Of NE,
which the janitor of this building seems
to have hung out to dry. My first Off
cial act will be to discharge that janisor
and hire another who will hang out such
things on M ,nday morning and not put
1t off till Saturday night.
To look upon and think about and
closely study these figures, gentlemen,
will not prove healthy exercise for
your candidate for governor nor Georga

MIR. GEORGE 4. FAIRBANKS.

Mr. George A. Fairbanks. the Demo
cratic nominee for attorney general,
was born in Pickaway county, o., May
25, 1868. When three years of age his
family moved to Kansas, where his
father shortly afterward died His
mother, with her children, returned to
Ohio, but did not long survive her hus-
band. Left an orphan of tender years,
the subject of this sketch spent his boy
hood days with his grandmother at
Canal Winchester, o. He was sent to
the public schools, where, with his ac-
tive, penetrating and broad intellect, he
was enabled to acquire an excellent ed
ucation. He began the study of the law
when IS years of age, and was admitted
to the bar by tbs supreme court as soon
as he arrived at the age of 81 years. He
very rapidly took a high rank il his
profession at the bar of the capital city !,
and from the start commanded large
practice. He early became distinguished
as trial lawyer of tho highest ability.
He combines extensive and varied
general knowledge with remarkable ac-
curacy of judgment. Every fact. every
rule, every principle, when once ac-
quired, is always at his hand ready for
instant use. His perceptions are clear
and quick. His intellectual gifts are OF
the highest order. He is a ready, en-
tertaining ald forcible public speaker,
His personal popularity is only limited
by his wide acquaintance.

eyes for Grosvenor on Tuesday, and
they were acting as chambermaids
to Foraker.
VIckers did not abuse Foraker on
Tuesday last. He was too brsy
when not holding the ex-Guvernor's
coat tail, to keep him from speaking
to his old friend Archbishop Sands
and PurselI who discovered him, in
cursing Bob Kittsmiller for captur-
ing the Governor and putting him
in the parade.
Did you see VicKers? When
Forake left the Garage in answer to
the resolution of his old comrade i'll
arms, Bob Kittsmiller, to walk the
boys; Vickers tumbled ont also, and
hung to the ex-Governor's coat tai.
Much against his will he walked in
the rear of Foraker like valet.
Foraker Knows that VicKers tried
to defeat bis friend and old time
follower George Falcon for nomina-
ton at Marietta. Chas Bowlby, Bill
Lay and Mckay were Oh to the VicK-
ers racket and they sat down on VicK
ers so hard that the would boss fail
ed for once to find enough profanity
in his vocabulary to do justice to his
feeling.
Wicker and John White deserted
Pursell and went over to their old
time enimes, only to find that Nc
Kay and Bill Lay hadn't auy use for
them. The Marietta experience of
White and VicKers demonstrated
that the Mckay gang had NO conhd-
ence in them.
If the paupers and Reform Farm
officers and inmates had been left
out of the parade and Vickers hadn't
walked the parade would have been
very sorry affair.
To see Will Keynes swell out
and endeavor to look like real poll
tician is laughable TO democrats and
gall wormwood to republicans.
John White at the command of
his master Vickers brought down the
criminals from the Reform Farm and
put them in the parade of Tuesday.
1t is great wonder that Paddocks
hounds were::overlooked. They would
have added to the length of the par
ade and would not have detracted
much from its intelligence.
1t hurts Vicker's corns to ride in
carriage.
The Bushnell club dosen't seem to
take kindly to Vickers. 1t made
him walk and Vickers is such an un-
graceful pedestrian he looks much
more impressive in a carriage holding
Foraker's coat tail.
Vickers and his committee order
ed that Pursell should not receive
any appointments for speeches in the
campaign in Hooking, the Bushnell
club, has pressed him into service
however,an almost nightly the pass
ers by hear the stentonan voice of
the vociferons Pursell assuring from
the Court House, abusing Democrats,
and alrousing the enthusiasm of
those who like to hear such things,
The Bushnell Kid Club.
Bob Kittsmiller's cannon got no
appointment in Mr. Wicker S campaign
this year. Vickers does not like
Bob and from Indications Bob does
not lose much rest admlring Vick-
ers.

James W. Knott, Democratic nomi-
nee for auditor Of state, was born in
Coshocton county, O., 45 years ago.
His father was Presbyterian minister.

county soon after the birth of the sub

hood on farm in Richland county and
later in Ash land county. He graduated
from the University Of Wooster, since
which he has been superintendent of
public schools in Tiffin, Wooster and
Mansfield. From August, 1890, to Au-
gust, 1892, he was superintendent Of
the Ohio institute for the education Of
the deaf, at Columbus. He has for five
years been q member of the Ohio state
board of school examiners. He has
throughout his life been pronounced
success in everything he has under
taken, whether it were managing
farm, teaching school, experimenting
system of schools, or supervising all
the departments of Ohio's great institu-
ton for the deaf.
He is now serving on his third term
as member of the board of trustees Of
his alma mater, the University of Woos-
ter, and is second vice president of the
board. He is member Of the Beta
Theta Pi college fraternity. In 1887 he

A recent grand jury in Franklin

against George B. Cox for hribing men,
bers of the legislature, but some one ''in
duced five members to reconsider their
votes and he thus escaped Indictment.
Despairing of the support of honest Re-
publicans. this same George B. Cox has
engaged J. S. Coxey to lead sideshow
with which he expects to capture lot
of Democratic votes, and by this means
enable the Coxey gang to get their
clutches on the whole state of Ohio.
Mr.. Foraker is a good political manip-
ulator, but not much Of a man on prin-
riple, it seems. He took charge of the
Republican state convention and cuffed
Mckinley, Sherman & Company around
pretty much as he pleased, throwing
down their candidates and nominating
his own. Mckinley and Sherman seem,
however, to have dictated the issues.
There is no real danger of Coxey's
schemes ever being put in execution
in this country. If they were,
the whole country would be destroyed
and degraded so far as property rights
and civilization go. The Coxey busi-
ness is being run for another purpose
this year. A sideshow for the benetij
Of George B. Coyism.
Mckinley and Foraker are having
rough shedding in trying to combat
Campbell's structures Oh the rotten legis-
| latnre What they have said SO far has
the tendency to confirm, rather then
dispute Campbell's speeches.
The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1895-10-31

To show the gall, and at the same
time the desperation, of the Cox
Foraker gang, it is only necessary to
state that in every county in the state
from two to four prominent Democrats
have been promised an appointment on
one of the state boards if Bushnell is
elected. All that they a-e asked to do
is to refrain FROM working for C.tmp-
bell Or the Democratic candidates for
the legislature. There are about 30 of
these appointments. Over 800 of these
pledges have been made already and
more are being made every day. If
there is single Democrat in OH, who
has the respect of his neighbors who
can he Influenced by such promises he
deserves the contemptuous throwing
down by Cox which he will get if Bush
nell is elected. Cox has no respect for
his tools after once using them.
Farmers are told that under govern
ment ownership the cost Of railroad
transportation would be reduced As
as the government owned them they
would be exempt from taxation and the
deficit from this source would fall on
on other property. This would increase
the taxes of the average farmer about
% per cent. If his taxes now are 800
they would go up to Sl25, as his prop
erty isn't q railroad. He would probably
save 95 cents ayear On freight and S1.55
on fare. but he would pay se5 for the
purpose of saving S1.90. Really, is
there any farmer in the country ass
enough to vote for this Coxey scheme.

GOOD REASON WHY.

The following incident occurred at rail-
way station near Rochdale. A young man
was standing beside some luggage wait
ing for a train, when a porter came up 10
him and said. "Sir, that luggage is over
weight" "Who says 1t is?' asked the
man, who stammered badly. "Well, I
think II is" answered the porter, but
we'll weigh It," During the conversation
a crowd had collected round them, and
another porter came up and asked what
was the matter. The man stammered out,
"F-irst he says It's overweight; then he
says he thinks IT'S overweight, and then
he says he will weigh IT, The porters
then took hold Of the luggage and carried
1t to the office and weighed 1t. ut Is over
weight, and you have got Is 9d. to pay"
said porter No. I. "Sh-ant pay it," the
man said. well, II you won't pay II, we
shall fetch the statIonmaster." said the
porter. Fetch who you like; sh--ant
pay It," again stammered the man. The
statlOnmaster was duly fetched. and on
arriving asked what the bother was about.
When the man again said. "T-lrst he
says II is overweight, and then he thinks
It's overweight, and them he weighs IT,
and says It Ii overweight. and I have is.
Cd. to pay. Shant pay" "Well," said the
stationmaster. In a rage, "why won't you
pay it?' Because It Ia not my luggage"
answered the man, and walked Off.

l now took occasion to apologize for

he would find himself entirely able to

ness in his tone and manner. that We
are very near the solution of this mat

Then he closed the door. and I went
to my own room.
Once there, I found time to think over
the curious scene In the library be-
tween my niece and the detective. and
the more I thought the more 1t dis
quieted me. His last remark, too.
