Canton Will Vote
Against NJ KinIey.
Statement Made by Henry George
After a Careful Investigation
on The Ground

New YORK, Sept. 20 The Journal this
morning contains an interesting article
by Henry George, who is studying the
political situation at Canton, o. Mr.
George says:
In Chicago and Cleveland ] bad SC
much specific information of the manner
in which the employees of factories and
miEes and railroads were being shipped
to Canton to make showing of the de-
mand of labor for McKinley's election,
that came down for passing visit TO
the Republican mecca and glimpse OF
the ranks of the admirers OF the prophet
of Protection and Prosperity. And, as
to what had heard 80 specifically from
those who are in position to know, l
secured in a Cleveland hotel little Re-
publican confirmation.
To stranger who gets here and goes
to a first class hotel, Canton seems at
first veritable Mckinley town, for he
sees everywhere Mckinley emblems and
badg and flags. But it did not take me
long TO find the place OF business OF a
man whom know as an old and stall
wart single-taxer. Then l Immediately
got into a different atmosphere, and
found that the opposition to McKinly in
his own city was vigorous and confident,
expecting to carry for Bryan, McKinley's
own county, his own city and his own
precinct.
have talked to-day with intelligent
and reliable men, Democrats, Populists,
Republicans and Prohibitionists, who
propose to vote for Bryan, and found
them not only most hopeful, but conf
dent of this, and to be able to assign
reasons for their faith.
Stark County, of which Canton is the
principal to an, gave to Bushnell, the
Republican candidate for Governor in
1895, when the disgust with the Cleve-
land Administration among those who
had elected him, brought the last high
tide of Republican success, vote Of
$500. At the same time it gave the
Democratic candidate, Campbell, 7,40S /;
the Populist, Coxey, 2,4SS; the Prohi-
bitionist, 52.t, and the Socialist, 1lS
Thus, a union even OF the Democrats and
Populists on this vote would have de-
feated the Republicans, whose vote was
1888 less than that of the two combined.
In the city of Canton Bushnell had a
plurality OF 5l7, but his vote was III be-
low that Of the Democrats and Populists
combined, and 2S4 below that OF the
combined opposition, while in the last
local contest in the spring preceding the
election of Bushnell, the Democratic
candidate, the present Mayor, received
100 more votes than the Republican
candidate, although the Populist candi-
date had more than thousand. So that
the latest figures clearly give both coun-
ty and city to the Democrats and Popu-
lists when united.
Now, in the national election Of No.
vember, the Populists to man may be
counted for Bryan, for they are working
in their own way like beavers. The
Socialists will hardly count for anything,
while as for the Prohibitionists, the es-
Inmates that get here coincide with the
estimate that l got in Cleveland from
leading Prohibitionists, that two.thirds
of the Prohibtionist vote of Ohio this
year will 20 for Bryan.

WHY HE PROTESTED.

Street and Sewer Director Chambers States
His Position Regarding Knowles Check.
President Samuel Chambers of the
Board of Street and Sewer Directors
made a statement Monday concern.
ing his position with regard to
Ii. g. Knowles check for 81. 200,
which the other directors had ordered
drawn. He said:
when that case, the English case,
was taken to the court Of errors aud
appeals in tbs beginning Of the sum-
mer, our board was unanimous that the
solicitor should employ additional
counsel and the secretary so notified
him. The solicitor replied in person
that he would not employ additional
counsel and would not allow us to. He
was very emphatic in that. Now the
case went into court and We won, and
next bill came in from Horace G..
Knowles for 50, 800, approved by the
solicitor. My object for opposing the
bill is that this is establishing pre-
cedent allowing the solicitor to employ
whom he pleases and as many as be
pleases and at any price he pleases.
This leaves the board practically no
control over its appropriation.
"But signed the check through the
advice Of legal counsel, who thought
it best policy to sign the check to save
the city from any complications

DENTAL co. DECISION.
Important Opinion hanaed Down by Judge
Wa,os m the United States Court.

Wa,os IN the United States Court.
Judge Wales on Monday delivered
his opinion in the United States Cir
cult Court, in the case of Robert ID.
Magwell VS.. the Wilmington Dental
Manufacturing Co., an action in which
certain holders of mortgage bonds of
the company which were issued prior
to tho appointment ofa receiver, asked
that they he decreed to have u prior
lien upon the fund of the company and
that they be preferred in its distribu
tioD of all other general creditors. The
petition was made in behalf Of all othsr
holders of such bonds as may come in
and contribute to the cost OF the pro-
coeding.
The judge reviewed the case, includ-
ing the able arguments of counsel on
both sides, and after a careful examina-
tion OF the law, decreed that the petit
tionina bondholders are not entitled TO
a priority over the general creditors to
the fund, and their petition was dis
missed.
In conclusion, the judge said "This
decision Goes not, as already said. affect
the lien OF the mortgage on the Will
mington property on which it is the
first and paramount incumbrance, nor,
perhaps, will it entail any such serious
loss to the petitioners. OF the whole
number Of bonds issued by the Dental
Co.. Sl4, 600 had been redeemed and
retired prior TO the appointment of the
receiver, leaving bonds outstanding
and unpaid to the amount of SAL, GOO /;
and it is not at all improbable that
before tina reorganization of the COM
pany, provision may be made for their
ultimate payment in full. !"

A Better Administration of the Affairs OF

Amy Measure of Control.

Constantinople, Turkey, Dec. 28.-
The Russian Ambassador, M, De Nsli-
dotf. on Saturday, acting In concert
with the representatives Of Great
Britain, France, Italy, Germany and
Austria, bad an audience with the
Sultan, Abdul Hamid, one of many
such interviews which have taken
place within the last year on the same
subject, that of better administra-
tion OF the affairs of the Turkish En-
pire.
The Russian diplomat began by
warning the Sultan and the Turkish
government that, il the revenues ceded
for the payment of the Turkish debt
were touched, European control of the
finances of the empire would become
inevitable.
The Sultan. however, remained OBJ
durate, refusing his consent to any
measure of control, financial or other
wise, by the Powers.
To this the Russian Ambassador ra-
piled that the condition OF the Turkish
Empire placed the throne and the cali
phate in imminent peril.
Hereupon Abdul Hamid remarked
impressively g may be the last of the
Caiiphs. but will never become
second khedive."
ln addition 100 these warnings M. >.
De Nelidoff sent notes to the Turkish
government and TO the palace, and the
utmost Significance is attached to them
in diplomatic circles. He pointed out,
in precise terms, the necessity Of the
Sultan following the advice OF the
Powers and acting in complete agree
ment with their plans or improving the
situation, warming them once more that
the Sultan's refusal to do so involves
the most disagreeable consequences.
The Ambassadors of the Powers will
meet again to-day. to discuss the situa-
tion, and will reassemble in the future
twice week until they complete their
recommendation to the Sultan and his
advisers the envoys acting together
will henceforth maintain the strictest
secrecy regarding, their deliberations,
and will not even inform the envoys Of
the other Powers of the decisions
reached,

issue with the views of the society as

struction in the schools. No action

Miss Mary ]. Francis, who has been
in the employ Of the board as teacher
for 26 years, resigned the position OF
principal of school No. A, which she
has so admirably filled for long time.
Miss Mary NJ. Turner was appointed to
succeed her.
In view of the fact that MISS Francis

mites on teachers, Miss Matilda M.

GRADE CROSSINGS.
The Street and Sewer Department. Advaea-
ting Removal of Most Dangerous Ones.

The Street and Sewer Department. Adyoea-
ting Removal OF Most Dangerous Ones.
The fatal accident at the Union
street crossing on Christmas eve, which.
resulted in the death of William T..
Dougherty has again started the guess
tion Of a bridge above tho Baltimore &
Ohio railroad tracks. Strangely
enough the Street and Sewer Directors
had discussed the bridge matter some
weeks ago, and will probably have it
before them until something is accom-
plished.
1t is no new proposition to remove
the grade crossing at Pennsylvania
avenue for such thing was contem-
plated two years ago, when bill was
presented to the Legislature. About
that time tho Street and Sewer Direc-
tors had an agreement with the Balti-
mora g. Ohio Railroad Co., and with
tho p, W. &. u. people, under which
had the bill gone through the grade
crossings of the b. & o. at Pennsyl-
vania avenue and at Scott street and
of the T., W. a. b. at Fourth street
might have been abolished. But the
bill did not go through.
The Street aud Sewer Department
had made plan for tho desired change
at Pennsylvania avenue which pro-
vided that the railroad company
should raise its tracks and tho
city should make cut in the bed OF
the avenue go that wagon travel could
go under the railroad. The Union
street crossing would have been abol-
ished and the street diverted so that
travel on it would cross beneath the
railroad by way of Pennsylvania avenue
Some such plan as this may again be
recommended. Que stop will be taken
by sending letter to the b. & o. Rail
road Co., in relation to desired re-
moval of the grade crossing.
