rHE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT 1T.

"The present constitution has, to
great extent, outlived it's usefulness. IL
ontains many provisions inimical 10 the
best interests Of the people. Time and
again 1t has proved an obstruction to re-
forms demanded by the citizens. There
is general demand for such conven-
ton. and we believe the people will so
vote at the election. n."-Youngstown Tel
egram.
There is not now, and there has not
been demand by the people for a new
constitution. The railroads and corpo-
rations throughout the state want it, for
they know that they will own it, body
and soul, as they do the present legis
Iature. Their purpose is to evade taxa
ton. When the present Legislature is
on the verge Of making the Rogers fifty
year franchise bill a law, which takes
from the city the power Of regulating
fare and turns the people over to the
tender mercies Ct soulless corporations,
what can the people expect from a con-
stitutional convention. When the pre-
sent constitution was adopted corpora
tions in this state were in their infancy,
and their power was not very great, but
let constitutional convention be called
now and see how the corporations will
assert their mastery.
When the question was voted on in
1891, only one vote in eight was cast for
it. People do not want it any more now
than they did then. 1t will load an adj
ditional expenditure upon us Of half a
million dollars, and a new constitution
to be made by a convention that would
surely be operated and manipulated by
corporations and corporate interests,
would be a curse to us forever. The peo-
| pie knot what they haze now, but they
do not know what they will get if the
proposition passes.

QUAY A FULL-FLEDGED CANDI.
DATE.

The Mckinley organs who a month
ago were saying that Quay was only in
the Presidential race to throw his influ-
ence to Mckinley at the proper time
must now abandon that idea. The
Pennsylvania Republicans are for Quay
first, last, and all the time. A resolution
naming Mckinley for second choice was
overwhelmingly defeated, and another
resolution to take up Mckinley in the
event of the retirement OF Quay received
only two or three votes.
Senator Quay is the idol of the Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania. He is the Re-
publican organization of Pennsylvania.
He is its heart, its brain and its inspira-
ton: and what would the party be with
out him. The temporary chairman paid
him fitting eulogy when he character
lied him to be "true as a man, faithful
ss a friend, astute as leader, able as
statesman, loyal as citizen, courageous
and aggressive in contest, unassuming
and retiring in private life."
Senator Quay is leader of leaders.
In the highest legislative body in the
world, he has demonstrated parliament
airy ability and tact, unexampled in our
political gladiators. When the dark
cloud of the Force Bill hung over the
Capitol at Washington-when it had
passed the House and already crossed
the threshold of the Senate, it was Quay
who rose upon the floor of the Senate,
and proclaimed the death of the Force
election bill. Quay saw that every in
telligent and property-owning Republi-
can in the South, black and white, and
the great mass of business men in the
North, of all parties, were protesting
against the revolutionary force policy of
Wrecker Reed. He saw that someone
must call halt; that many deplored the
peril, but feared to cross the dead line
marked by the revolutiOnists, but he
boldly crossed the dead line himself,
and challenged the guard OF destruction
lists to fire upon him. There have been
many disputants who could surpass him
in electrifying the country with polished
rhetoric, but as a leader in the U. S.
Senate, he showed himself equal to the
emergency in the defeat of the mad
policy of force and theft in national
elections, and his achievement at that
time will long live in the grateful mem
ories Of every political faith.
The adherents of Mckinley might as
well make up their minds now as later
on, that if Mckinley is to be nominated
he must be nominated without the vote
of Pennsylvania, and also without
Quay's influence. Quay will never sup
port Mckinley for President in the COM
ing convention for several reasons. He
knows that Mckinley is the candidate OF
what is left Of the "iog Combine" in
Pennsylvania, and he does not propose
to have Chris Magee defeat him in the
national convention, and then laugh at
his discontinue. If Quay shall not be
nominated at ST. Louis, hewill name the
man, and that man will hardly be Nc

HOW WOULD EX-GOVERNOR RUS
SELL Dor

There is no doubt that the Massachu-
setts Democratic convention next Tues
day will endorse ex Governor William j..
Russell as a candidate before the Chi
cago convention for the Presidency. Mr..
Russell has stood the test of official ser.
vice in an executive capacity, in a way
that has proven remarkable ability and
fitness for the high office for which his
friends have suggested him as a candi.
date. He was progressive Mayor be-
fore he was chosen chief executive Of his
State, and his three years service in the
latter capacity has never been excelled
by any Of the prominent and able men
who have been Governors of the old
Bay State.
Mr.. Russell is a man Of national repu-
tation because his demonstrated merit
has attracted the attention and COM
manded the respect Of the people. His
sound judgment has easily kept him
from making mistakes; he has always
been progressive man, but with a con-
sergatism that enabled him to first ascer.
tain the right and then contest for it
with a zeal that was refreshing, and GER
tain of success. His popularity has
been repeatedly shown among the peo-
pie by the support they have given him
as candidate, and the ratification o
his position three successive times al.
though his party was in a minority in
the State at each contest. He is a magf
netic man because his ability, sound
judgment and fearless courage command
an admiration from the people that
overrides prejudice.
With Massachusetts in his support,
he may well be the candidate Of all New
England; there is no man in the nation
in any party better qualified and adapt.
ed to the duties of the high office. He
has treated of national questions and
issues in public addresses, and his DO,
sition and belief upon them all is as
clearly known as those Of any man in
the nation. His speeches for tariff re-
form have been models of sound reason.
ing and deep research. In all his public
career he has steadfastly insisted upor
economy of expenditure and as execu
tive of the State, he made free use of the
veto power to check loose and hasty
legislation, which example was popular
ly followed by his Republican successor
William L. Russell is a young man
able, fearless, conscientious and pro
gressive, devoted to the sound princi
pies Of economic government, becaus,
of their soundness and not because o
their temporary popularity, an orato
and scholar, never naughty, nor disposed
to hold himself above any honorable
citizen however humble, with a cleal
official record. New England can homo
itself by standing with a united from
on the support of such a candidate a

main, because It contained gold fields,
and now that the natives have risen in
revolt, it must again fight to retain the
spoils. The whites now in Matabeleland
are trespassers and land robbers,
and, while it is hoped that they
will escape massacre, lovers Of jus.
tice will rejoice If the victims Of their in.
vasion shall drive and keep them out.
Lobengula's territory was not bought by
the British, but taken with a strong
hand. 1t was acquired just as Captain
Kidd seized property on the salty deep
and as the freebooters gathered wealth
on the Rhine. The invaders are conse-
quently thieves, as much so as the cattle
robbers Of the New Mexican or Arizona
plains, and if the natives shall severely
punish them it will be simply a case Of
retributive justice.
