A MISTAKE OF THE MCKINLEY
MANAGERS.

With all due respect to Major McKin-
ley's canvass for the Presidency, yet his
managers have made a serious ii not
fatal mistake in invading the respective
States of the various candidates. Nc
Kinley's competitors have been gener-
Gus enough to allow him to get the Ohio
delegation uncontested. They claimed
Ohio was his State and as matter Of
justice he should have his own State
solidly behind his back when he entered
the convention. But the Mckinley
managers have not treated the other
candidates with the same generosity.
They have gone into Governor Morton's
bailiwick and captured two Of his dele
gates from Buffalo. Sleuth.like they
have invaded Minnesota and taken
some of Senator Davis delegates. They
have been perniciously active in ILL
nois and have incurred the everlasting
enmity Of Senator Cullom. They have
likewise invaded Senator Quay's State

The KENTUCKY LEGIsLATURE
ADJOURNS.

After sixty days Of disgraceful pro-
ceedings, the Kentucky Legislature has
adjourned without electing U. $. Sena-
tor.
Mr.. Blackburn will be senator until
March 4, 1897, and his chances of sue
ceeding himself have been greatly i'm
proved by the sine die adjournment of
both houses. The whole issue is now re-
manded to the people and Senator
Blackburn will continue his fight with
unabated energy
Senator Blackburn has been in public
life twenty-one years, and during this
time he has never turned his back to
friend, or feared to meet an enemy
face to face. He has been manly man,
Democrat tried and true, in season
and out of season, in defeat as well as in
victory. His private life and public ca
reer have been open, honorable and of
an unblemished record. He has always
had convictions and the courage to
maintain them, and his voice could
never be silenced for the right, and be-
cause of all these things he should have
been returned.

ZEAL SHOULD NOT oUTsTRIP DIS.
CRETION.

The Canton Trades and Labor Assem-.
bly, is unquestionably composed OF sin.
cere and conscientious men, and they
are certainly entitled to great respect in
their noble efforts to promote the cause
of labor But in crticising the action of
the county commissioners in employing
convict labor upon the country roads,
their zeal has, no doubt outstripped
their discretion.
We have been talking about improv.
ing our country roads for the last quar-.
ter of a century, and we have made but
little progress. The roads ought to be
improved, but who is to do it Ameri.
can free labor won't do it any more than
they will work on sewer. If the work.
house convicts do il, their labor will GER
tainly not come in competition with free
labor on manufactured articles At
the Cleveland workhouse, convicts are
employed in making brooms, brushes
and several other things, and it is bound
workhouse goods are never sold at a
profit, and in consequence of their
cheapness, are more eagerly sought after
than the goods manufactured by free
labor.
Labor organizations certainly stand in
their own light by opposing the employ
ment of convict labor upon the roads.
One result is sure to follow. Convict
labor will come in competition with free
labor great deal more by not being en-
ployed upon the country roads, In the
State Of New York, the labor organiza-
tons are asking that convict labor be
employed on the roads so that it will
not compete with free labor in the
shops.
We need good roads, convicts must be
employed, and we believe that under all
the circumstances, the plan of the
county commissioners is the best solution
to the question. If anybody has bet.
ter plan to suggest, our columns are
open to them.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-03-26

and if the Mckinley managers think
that Quay will not resent the intrusion
they don't know the man. They also
invaded Iowa during the past two
months but Iowa is so strong for Allison
that the movement died in its infancy.
New England is regarded as entirely
safe for Reed and yet the Mckinley
managers are contesting for some of
Reeds delegates and are likely to get
them. They seem to forget however
that there is no man living that is more
capable Of lasting and dangerous resent
ment than Thomas b. Reed.
In 1880, Mr. Blaine committed the
same serious mistake which cost him the
nomination. lie invaded Ohio and took
nine of John Sherman's delegates. He
was advised against it, but he insisted.
This action of Blaine's made John Sher-
man agry and implacable. Blaine never
got a single vote from Sherman during
the six days session of the convention,
and yet there never was a time on any
ballot in which Mr. Sherman could not
have nominated Blaine, had he so de.
sired.
This is the history of the Republican
convention of $3.50, and they are pre-
sented here in cold type as timely
warning to Major McKinley's managers.

REED WILL NOT INVADE THE
STATES OF OTHER CANDIDATES.

Speaker Reed has great ambition to
be President but he is. modest enough
not to invade States where they have a
favorite son. When queried about this
the other day by Mr. II. D. W. English,
of Pittsburg he replied in the following
letter:
Washington, d. c., March Is, 1896.
ii. d. w. English, Esq, Pittsburg,
Pa-My Dear Sir: l have not the
slightest desire to have my name sub
mitted in the way you suggest. While
] might have been glad of an opportu-
nifty under other circumstances, under
the present | would not. In no state
where there is candidate have any
friends of mine interfered with local
wishes, nor will they without my con
sent. / am very much obliged to you
for the personal kindness involved in
your suggestion and have very pleasant
memories Of your previous kindness.
Yours very truly, 7. b. Reed.
1t is reported from Madrid that the
Spaniards are displeased with General
Weyler's mild enforcement of his vIgor-
Gus proclamations. The failure to
achieve results in the way of suppressng
the rebellion also causes great dissats-
faction.
