KANsANs LIKE CAMPBELL.

James e. Campbell, Of Ohio would
be an acceptable candidate for the Office
Of president to many Democrats through
out the country. He has filled various
offices with credit to himself and honor to
the Democracy. He was four years prose.
cutting attorney of Butler county, Ohio.
He was subsequently, elected four times
to congress as a Democrat from Repub-
lican district; and in 1889 was elected
governor of Ohio over Joseph b. Foraker.
In his campaign for governor he showed
wonderful resources as a oampaigner,
and after the first joint debate on the
tariff issue the Republican state COM
mittese refused to continue them. He has
shown a strong sense Of duty to his party
and his views on the money question are
considered sound. His devotion to the
interest Of the people is unchalIenged.
Governor Campbell is not % ndidate for
the nomination, but his words recently
uttered In Washington are ringing In

JOINED HEARTS AND HAND s
Deputy Auditor Kaufman Makes a
Bride Of Miss X. Anette Wise a
Popular School Teacher.

One of the prettiest little weddings Of
the season occurred last evening at the
home Of the Misses Wise, No. 198 Wood
land avenue. The parties to the marriage
contract were two of Canton's highly es-
teemed young people, namely, Mr.. J. H.
Kaufman, deputy auditor, and Miss X.
Anette Wise, a successful teacher in our
public schools. Miss Mabel Wise was
mistress of ceremonies and did the honors
of the occasion with becoming grace.

entered the parlor and took the marriage
vows according to the ritual of the Re-

afterwards partaken of by the score or
more of guests present. Mr.. Kaufman
and bride left this morning for a trip up
the lakes. They will be absent about ten
days, and on their return to Canton will
be at home at No. 1876 Woodland avenue
The house had been tastefully decorated
with blooming plants and smilax, and pre-

field their advertising costs more than
the state of trade will justify. Very few
business houses are making any money
these times, and the men who are thus
engaged and have their capital invested,
deserve all possible encouragement at the
hands Of the people"
The Post was short-lived 1t came
forth like flower and was cut down
It was of few days and full of trouble
1t began with flourish of trumpets. 1t
was always boasting Of its great success
to keep up its courage and yet 1t was a
losing venture from the very day 1t was
started In all towns varying in pcpula-
tion from 20, 900 to 30, 900, there is room
for two daily papers, one of each politics.
There is not room for any more, ALI
ance being a town of less than 10000,
there was not room for two; yet in spite
of these stubborn facts the publication of
the Post was commenced last December
with disastrous results. At the time It
was instituted there were already two
daily papers 10 Alliance, the Review and
the Critic.
There was no more need Of three daily
papers in Alliance than there was for
three opera houses or three different lines
of street railway. But 1t was published
to fight the Review" an organ that was
well established and had quite a good
clientage. The first move made was the
suicidal policy Of cutting the price down
to one cent, thing that never was or
never can be successfully done in o small
town. This of necessity, forced the other
papers down to the same price. The
Critic, which was paying expenses, but
not making any money, was finally
forced into making an assignment and
the Post then performed the great finale
in the out-throat drama by killing itself
in trying to kill the Review" Such
antics can have but one effect. 1t takes an
outlay of money to start a new paper in
a field that is already covered, and when
the smash.up comes, about the only thing
left is a scrap pile of old type The in
evitable result of all such undertakings
will be more mounds in the potter's field
Of journalistic burial grounds.

The high protective tariff organs have
been very noisy in proclaiming that the
Wilson tariff law, which reduced the
duty on woolen importatiors, had caused
an immense increase in woolen importa-

SENATOR OIL ON TRIAL.

The trial of ex-senator Oil, of Mahon-
ing county, who was arraigned last fall by
Governor Campbell, in the gubernatorial
campaign as being tho prince of boodlers,
is taking place today at Columbus Oil
is the last of quintette of corruptionists,
who have lately been put through a
course of sprouts. Senators Iden and
Abbot have been convicted and Senators
Gear and Geyer had a narrow escape. Oil
is indicted for offering a bribe Of $500 to
Senator Avery If he (Avery) would hold
up bill Of interest to the Ohio State Uni
versity. The way Of the boodler is hard
one, and Senator Ohl may yet find out
that the people of Mahoning county sent
him to the Legislature to represent their
interests and not his own. II the half is
true, that was said about Senator Oil, he
should be convicted and dealt with sum-
marily.

THE ALLIANCE POST sUsPENDs.

The Alliance Post, a daily and week.,
edition published by W. II. Phelps, sus
pended publication on Saturday last. In
his semi-weekly issue, published this
morning, Mr.. Phelps makes the following
statement;
"This change will no doubt be sur.
prise to the readers of the Post, the sue
cess of which, considering the hard times,
has been remarkable.
"That success, however, has been at
tained by such arduous and incessant toll
on the part of the publisher, such close
confinement to his desk, as to make a
season OF rest absolutely necessary. To
take vacation, even though brief one
and have the business continue safely at
this time, is out Of the question.

Alliance feel that with three papers In the

TELLER's PREDICTION.

"If the Republicans should elect Nc.
Kinley on tariff platform the times
would not improve, and in two years the
discomfort of the people would wipe the
party out of existence" These are the
words of Henry NJ. Teller, Republican
United States senator, and yet the politi-
clans of the protection stripe have de-
ceived some people into believing that Nc
Kinleyism is the panacea for every indus
trial i'll and political ailment, and that
with the Ohio man in the White House,
every man, woman and child in the
country will be prosperous and contented.

Ex-Congressman Bynum, of Indiana,
who has been fighting the silver senti-
ment in that state and elsewhere, threw
up the sponge, as far as Indiana is con-
cerned on his last visit to Washington,
several days ago. He said that the silver
sentiment in the State had reached the
proportion of tidal wave, and that Indi-
ana would certainly be carried by the
Democrats If the Chicago Convention
adopted a silver platform.

Since New Jersey has got itself into the
newspapers through the result of the St.

will not resort this year to its old dodge
of getting into print through reports of

the blighted peach. This suggestion
should recommend itself to Mr.. Hanna.

Quite few Of our citizens have been
hurrahing for fellow townsman, purely
because he is good neighbor and fell
low townsman, but we haven't heard any
wild acclaim concerning the tail of the
ticket. Who Hobart is. nobody seems to
know. The fact that Mr. Hanna had to
60 out Of the United States into New
Jersey TO find him, is evidence that he was
in serious straits and was fearful lest Mr.
Foraker should succeed in saddling the
Anticipated Morton upon him. The iden-
tity of the tickets tail is worrying Hanna
as badly as 1t Is the head of the ticket. In
formation received from the East is to the
effect that so far as can be learned, the
Republican candidate fer the vice-presi-
denoy Is gambler in stocks,a corporation
lawyer, president of numerous stock
wateIed concerns, and an all around dab
bier in anything that favors corporations
and initiates against the common people.
He has money, or Hanna wouldn't have
found him. 1t has been suggested that
the campaign poet will find nothing with
which his name will rhyme, except GO

little speed. Democrats should start in
