The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-04-16

It will be observed that the high water
mark for the Populist vote in this city
was in the fall of 1894, when they polled
1892. At the next spring election, in
1895 it fell off 500 votes. At the fall cleo
ton in 1895, it fell off about 800 more.
AT this spring election it fell off 400
more. 1t cannot fall of 400 more next
fall, for there are only 2l2 votes left.
The Populist vote has been the chief
obstacle which stood in the way of DEM
ccratic success in Stark county since
1898. Now that it has been removed,
we shall go forward and place "Molly
Stark" where she rightfully belongs, in
the Democratic column.

evidence Of how ofIicersmay be mistaken

Of the Stone family and Ira 6tillson.

the state, remains to be seen. ELECTRO

brutality which sometimes attends a
hanging, especially when murderers die
from strangulation.

people" than both of the older parties

THE COMPETITOR CASES.
Denial Of the Report that the Prison
eEs HIVE Been Tried Secretly

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The State De-
partment has received absolutely no infor-
nation of any kind from Havana or else
where concerning the report that the Com
petitor prisoners have been tried i'm Morro
Castle by a secret and summary court-mar-
tial. Under these circumstances no state
ment will be made at the department con-
corning the report, but in view of the plain
provisions of our treaty and also of the
clear requirements of the domestic laws
of Spain the officials are loath TO believe
that the report is correct. 1t is pointed OUT
that under the law for public order promui-
gated in Havana some moths ago il is alb
solutely essential that counsel shall be al
lowed 10 prisoners on trial and that there
shall be no secrecy in proceedings Under
the protocol of our treaty with Spain there
likewise Is provision for publicity in trials
and for full representation or accused by
counsel 1t is believed in view of the these
provisions of law, that the authorities at
Havana would not make such fiagrant
breach of law as the report alleges.

PACIFIC CABLE SCHEMES.
Action of the Hawaiian Government
on the Requests for Franchises

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24-The steam
ship City of Peking arrived from Honolulu
to-day with the following advices dated a
week ago: The matter of the Pacific cable
franchise, which has been laid before the
executive several times by John W. Fos-
ter. was brought to a focus on the l4th
inst. when it was discussed before the
President and Cabinet and by a number
of influential citizens. President Dole
stated that a new arrangement had been
proposed by Colonel Spalding and his
colleagues, but before taking definite ac-
ton the government deemed it advisable
to consult with the business men of the
city. AT the Presidents suggestion, Attor-
ney General Smith read the outline of a
new contract proposed by the Pacific Gable
Company. which organization includes such
prominent and wealthy men as d. o. Mills
ex-Mayor Hewitt, of New York. and Presi-
dent Hill, of the Great Northern Railway.
This company proposes that contract be
made with them by which they are to have
two years in which to obtain concessions
from the Japanese government and from
the governments of the Australian nolO-
nies. relative to the laying of cables from
Hawaii to Japan and from Hawaii to Aus
tralia. The company offers to purchase
$4,000 of the new 4-per-cent government
bon bonds d presumably at par, and tS to forfeit
laid within year If the desired conces-
sions from either or both Japan and Aus
tralia are obtained within two years. the
company will forfeit $l25. 900 in each case if
it fails to construct the cable within three
years thereafter. On these lines they ask
twenty years exclusive franchise. After
general discussion the result was unani-
nous against granting the franchise.
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs w. o.
Smith yesterday notified John w. Foster,
attorney for Col. u. S. Spalding, that after
due and careful consideration of his re-
quest for an extension of concessions al
ready granted Colonel Spalding, the gov
ernment had decided that it is not advisa-
BILE at this time to extend any of the fran
chises or privileges he may now have re-
garding the laying of cable from the
United States to Hawaii so as to include
an exclusive franchise for d cable line be-
tween Hawaii and Australia or Japan, OBJ
both. While the government regretted that
IL was unable to comply M..n the request
