freemen, SO far as owners of their flesh and
blood are concerned, confronted with the
problem of self-support, and compelled to
bear their share of the burdens heaaed
upon the island by the Spanish system of
taxation. So they fight in common cause,
knowing that freedom means better times
when 1t is freedom from a despotism that
affects their dearest and most cherished

upon the theory of determination contain

on the fnsurgent side was regarded as an
enemy, and treated accordingly.

A POLICY SHOP RAIDED.

Two Persons Connected With the
business Sentenced Today.
The police are continuing the war on the
violators of the policy law, and the bridge
walkers who carry "4-11-4I' and other rows
across the river to the Virginia policy shops
are not having an easy time to get along
For number of mcnths the business has
been done exclusively by "curbstone writ
crs,' but Saturday the South Washington
police got word that regular shop had
been established at the home of an elderly
colored woman named Sarah Childs. She
did not conduct the policy business herself
SO the police were informed but she rented
the room and furnished everything in the
business with the exception of the actual
writing.
Acolored man known as Jack Minor
is suspected of having done this part of the
business, and the police are anxious to get
him.
Men ard women had been seen going to
the house, and when the police learned
what the attraction was they decided to
make raid at the earliest moment pos-
sible.
Saturday Sergt. Daley made the raid, and
found all the paraphernalia necessary to
conduct the policy business, but the alleged
writer was not there.
Sarah was at home, and, as she had been
suspected of having conducted similar bus
fEess before, she was arrested and locked
up.
Being unable to make q good defense this
morning when the case was heard in court,
Judge Miller gave her ninety days in JAIL
Ananias Spencer. an elderly colored man,
who probably thinks he is too old to work,
but not to run policy was in the tolls
because Policeman Pat OBrien had arrest
ed him when he had policy papers and
money in his pockets.
He was on his way to the shops across
the river from Georgetown at the time of
his arrest, and instead of being permitted to
go over there he was given a resting place
Behind the bars.
AS his case was not quite so serious as
that of the woman. he was fined $50 or
sixty days

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-07-02


Our appeal, therefore, is not TO false
philosophy. or vain theorists, but to the
masses of the American people, the plain,
practical people, whom Lincoln loved and
trusted, and whom the Republican party
has always faithfully striven to serve.
The platform adopted by the Reepubli-
oan National convention has received
my careful consideration and has my
unqualified approval. 1t is q matter Of
qualification to me, as l am sure IL must
be TO you and Republicans everywhere,
and to all our people, that the expressions
! Of its declaration of principles are so d.
rect, clear and emphatic. They are too
plain and positive to leave any chance
for doubt or question as to their purpose
and meaning But you will not expect
me to discuss its provisions at length, or
In any detail, at this time. It will, how
ever, be my duty and pleasure at some
future day to make to you, and through
you to the great party you represent, a
more formal acceptance of the nomination
rendered me.
No one could be more profoundly grate-
full than for the manifestations of pub
lie confidence Of which you have so elo.
quently spoken. It shall be my aim to at
test this appreciation by an unsparing de-
votion to what esteem the bost interest
of the people, and in this work ask the
counsel and support Of you, gentlemen,
and of every other friend of the country.
The generous expressions with which you,
sir, convey the official notice of my NOM
ination, are highly appreciated, and as
fully reciprocated, and thank you, and
your associates of the notification COM
mittee, and the great party and conven-
tion at whose instance you come, for the
high and exceptional distinction bestowed
upon me.
The address Of Major Mckinley was
literally punctuated with applause, es-
pecislly when he threw Off his former re-
straint and asserted that he unqualifledly
endorsed the platform.
Then Harry II. Smith, who was secre-
tary of the st. Louis convention, made
speech at the conclusion of which he pre-
sented to Major Mckinley the gavel that
had been used in the convention, by
Chairman Thurston.
Then the party entered the parlors and
later retired to huge wigwam at the rear
of the building, where an elaborate feast
was served by Charters Brothers. During
the banquet the Grand Army band, under
the direction of Mr.. Emil Reinkendorff,
played concert.
The notification party left for their
various homes at o'clock.
