CHAIRMAN THOMAS, LETTER.

The following letter is being sent
out by John Fl. Thomas, chairman of
the Stark County Republican executive
committee:
"Dear Sir-I desire to call your atten-
tion to the fact that Atlee Pomerene, the
Democratic candidate for prosecuting
attorney, has sent broadcast over the
county contemplate, lying circular re-
6ecting OH Charles q. Upham, the Re-
publican candidate. This circular is so
worded that some people who may re-
ceive IL might think that It was printed
and sent out by the Canton Repository,
which Is not fact. Mr.. Upham has the
full and complete endorsement of the Re-
pository and the Republican committee.
We wish you to warn the voters IN your
precinct against this and any other cir
oular that may be issued against Mr..
Upham In the remaining days Of this
campaign, and also to make special
effort for him that he may receive every
Republican vote. Mr.. Pomerene and
his friends are desperate and benos hard
and continuous work must be done for
Mr.. Upham, as 1t Is the wish Of the COM
mittee that he be elected by a large ma
jority. Respectfully yours,
"John Thomas,
County Chairman.
The reader will notice that Mr.. Thomas
does not deny the statements lof the cir
oular, but says 1t is so worded that some
people may think 1t is printed and sent
out by the Repository. Neither Mr..
Thomas nor the Repository can deny that
the circular contained an article taken
from the files Of the Repository April 4,
1885, The Repository then savagely at
tackled Mr.. Upham, claiming that it was
the odium of Mr.. Upham's name which
defeated George Rex for mayor in 1889
The same article accused Mr.. Upham Of
joining the Democratic forces and. defeat.
ing Samuel J. Roberts for mayor, and
G aptain Crawford for sheriff. Mr.
Thomas will find 1t exceedingly hard
business to bolster up candidate like Mr.
Upham. The people of Stark county
know Charley Upham and they know
Atlee Pomerene. Mr.. Pomerene ha'
always commanded thu respect of the peo
pie of this county while Mr.. Upham hal
not. The better element of the Republi
cans in this county owe 1t to themselves
and to their party to defeat Charles g
Upham for prosecuting attorney.

He did this that the government
might be preserved as one great indis-
soluble nation. Will those in this city
and community that profess SO much Of
loyalty, deny Sherwood their support,
in order to bestow it upon one who has
far less claim upon them2
If they do this, then that boasted
loyalty is only for dress parade on GER

honestly applied. General Sherwood

In the fight for coroner 1t is the physi-
clan against the horse doctor. Vote
against the horse doctor.
Do the people of Stark county want
praoticing physician or horse doctor
to serve in the ooroner's office? Let them
answer at the polls.
Vote for Squire Bowers. He Is q
pioneer in the cause of silver. He is as
honest as Cato. No amount Of persuasion
could induce him to deviate from the line
of duty.
The east end of the county must have
representation upon the board Of in
flrmary directors. One of the inflrmary
directors lives in the extreme west end
and the other two In the centarl part of
the county. Vote for William L. G Kelley.
When John H. Williams ran for mayor
of Massillon, in April, 1886, he was re-
morsely slaughtered by his own party.
The best Republicans voted against him,
because they had no confidence in him.
He has done nothing since to command
their confidence. Cassius NJ. Miller, his
opponent, Is manufacturer and an en-
ployer Of labor. He has always been a
friend of the laboring man. Vote for
him.
Some time before the Republican
nomination for county officers last
spring, J. B. Summer, the Republican
candidate for county commissioner, wrote
a7card in which he stated that he would
be willing to serve for $500 year. Hf
has not referred to this letter once since

to defeat an honorable opponent like j. J

Farmers, be not deceived by the recent
rise in wheat. 1t was deliberately
planned trick of the "bulls and bears" to
fool the people, the idea being to create
a basis on which these tricksters could
deny that the price of the oountry's great
staple and the price of silver have kept
even pace, showing that silver is the true
measure of value in this country.
The trick was easy to these speculators
and 1t is a warning to the people, show
Ing, as it does oonolusively, the immense
power of these gamblers in stocks aud In
the oountrys' staples, who produce moth
ing, but who, nevertheless, own nearly
every thing, and are able, by agreement
among themselves, to depress or to raise
the price of stocks, TO send the price of
wheat to 81 or to depress 1t to 80 cents.
While Chicago was attending to the wheat
end of the game, Wall street was looking
after the silver end While Chicago
boosted W heat, Wall street forced down
silver. These tricks will not fool the
people, however.

We have not seen the Repository make
a single defense for Charley Upham. 1t
harped about an anonymous circular, but
the circular only contained what the
Repository printed about Mr.. Upham in

fend Mr.. UphsmH It cannot, unless It

RIlth a better understanding OF Jne
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-geIttIe efforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that You have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the CALI

other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, bat if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Two converts, Caldwell and Henry

will be hard to make all believe that
either Senator Butler or the mass of

NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD
LEASE.
We condemn the lease of the North
Carolina Railroad no the Southern
Railway Company for ninety-nine
wears. not only as bad business trans
action in which the interests o. the
Stae amounting TO The large sum OF
IS .000. 900 invested in good paying
property yielding an income, were sac
Iificed. but we also. in most emphatic
terms condemn the hasty and secret
manner i'm which it was done several
years before the former thirty years

We cali the attention Of the people OF
the State to the fact that some mystic
rious power has prevented an investl-
cation. through the proper legal chan
nels. of this transaction, which was
so universally condemned by the press
of the State and all classes of our clel-
zens. when it first became known
We therefore demand that the next
General Assembly fully investigate
this transaction and to the end that
the Interests of the Stae may be fully
protected as far as ii can be done, such
legislative action shall be taken as to
counteract. as far as possible, this UNI
wise and secret transaction.
REMOVAL OF CASES.
The removal of eases from the State
courts to the Federal courts for trial
wherein the plaintiffs are poor per-
sons and defendants rich foreign cor
porations, on application of defend
ants, is a growing evil in North Caro-
lima, and in its practical operation fire.
uuently amounts to denial OF JUS
tice to poor suitors, and therefore
should be condemned. We demand,
therefore, that the next General AS
sembly shall pass such general stat
ute on this subject as to take from
such corporations doing. business IN
this State the privilege of carrying on
business in North Carolina, and with
drawing the protection of the State

MERITS OF HARBORS
The Advocates of San Pedro and
Santa Monica Speak Their Pieces.
INCOMMITTEE ON COMMERCE
Huntington Has a Scheme as Has
Other Shrewd Men In the
Lobby-There Is a Diff
ference of Opinion.

Washington, April 1.-THE senate
committee on commerce, which has the
river and harbor bill under considera-
ton. devoted to-day to hearing argu-
ments upon the respective merits OF
San Pedro and Santa Monica to be-
come deep water harbor near Los
Angeles, Cal. The claims of San Pedro
were first presented by a large delga-
ton from Los Angeles. consisting OF
President Patterson of the chamber of
commerce, A. NJ. Stephens, II. G. Haz-
ard and H. Hawgood, who were rein
forced by Representatives McLachlin
and General Craighill, chief engineer
of the United States army. The Los
Angels delegation contended that the
San Pedro harbor presented innumer-
able advantages as a harbor over
Santa Monica, and urged that adequate
provision be made for 1t in the bill.
General Craighill stated that he had
made an inspection of the two places
in 1894 in connection with the govern
ment commission, and then concluded.
and was still of the opinion, that San
Pedro was preferable place for a deep
water harbor
Majors Raymond and Haynes, gov
eminent engineers, and members of the
board which Investigated the respective
advantages of the two harbors, also
spoke in favor of San Pedro harbor
Ihey said San Pedro has a natural in
side harbor that Santa Monica did not
possess, and could be much more cas-
lily defended in case of war than could
Santa Monica. G. p. Huntington and
engineers and e. L. Corthell and Will
lam Hood presented the advantages of
Santa Monica. Huntington said in re-
ply to questions as to the interest of
the Southern Pacific railroad in the
two harbors that the railway company
came nearer controlling the waters at
San Pedro than at Santa Monica, and
while his company controlled the right
of way at Santa Monica, he would
agree that any number of competing
lines should have access to the harbor
in case it should be selected by the
government.
Senator Jones of Nevada, member of
the committee, and largely interested
in property at Santa Monica, said no
company would find any difficulty put
ting in tracks. Huntington said the
Southern Pacific company spent
million dollars trying to make har-
Dor at San Pedro, and had been COM
PEELED to abandon Ii because the place
was not suitable for the purpose, as il
had no outer harbor. 1t was exposed
to strong southeast winds which did
not affect Santa Monica. The engi-
neers favorable to Santa Monica also
contended that San Pedro was more
exposed and should from the confgura-
ton of the coast show why this is true.
The committee took no action to indi-
cate preference to either side. 1t was
apparent, however, from questions
asked, that there was a division of
opinion upon the relative merits of the
two places.
