THE NEGRO PARTY.

Republican organs don't like the effective
method being adopted by the negroes in
various states to rebuke the Republican
machines and Republican officials for the
pusillanimous treatment which colored Repub-
licans have received. The negro has so long
answered to the beck and call of Republican
politicians that they cannot understand what
he means by this Independent attitude. The
negro has been regarded by the Republican
party merely as chattel property which was
troublesome every Cay in the year but election
day. Now the negro is making a strike for
himself, and the promoters Of this laudab'e
movement are subjected to the worst form of
abuse by Republican newspapers.
There are few negro voters in Stark county.
The Republican committee pays little atteu-
ton to them. Inthe larger cities of the state
the negro vote is quite an element in deter
mining Republican majorites and in the
counties of Champaign, Logan, Clark, Mont
gomery and Greene, they hold large balance
of power. All of these counties have been
strongly Republican for years owing to the
large negro vote. Since they have declared
their independence and propose voting for
themselves, much ado has been made over il.

AGAINST HELABoR CRUsHER.

The most amusing feature of Hanna's cam
paign is his ludicrous efforts to prove himself
the laboring mans friend. 1t would seem
from the reports of his meetings that when he
arrives at that part Of his speech wherein he
discusses the labor question-or, rather his
relations to his employees, for that is Hanna's
only conception of the labor question-that he
always gets mad. And there is good reason
for his madness. He finds the terribly
descriptive title Labor Crusher" that he
gloried in before his political ambition became
in famed, now rising up before him, like the
ghost sof his dead past, to bar his way to that
coveted seat in the United States senate, and
his keen political instinct tells him that there
is his greatest danger; that if he is to sink
beneath the turbulent political sea upon which
he his now embarked, that is the rock that
will wreck him. The great mass of the
American people seem unable or unwilling to
study out for themselves questions of govern
mental policy, and determine by logical
reasoning what particular system will best
promote their interests and to this fact is due
the deplorable condition wherein we are today
A taking catch word; an expressive phrase
that seems to sum up in sentence an entire
political system, will have more weight and
make more votes than the clearest and most
logically reasoning argument. Protection
and prosperity" and II prefer to open the
mills rather than the mints," did more to elect
Mckinley than all the arguments put forth by
the Republicans on the tariff and money
questions; did more than all other influences
combined in fact, except Hanna's gold Thi'
time Hanna will have to depend on his golo
alone. The catch word of the campaign il
against him, and it will do more to defea
him than even his own speeches. 1t Is such
terribly expressive one that no one need to b.
surprised at any majority that may roll NJ
against the Labor Crusher."-LCommor

A PANIC PREDICTED.

There is no closer observer Of public affairs
Der of the present congress, from the Seventh
district of Kansas. He is Populist, free
trader and single taxer. A personal and init
mate friend of Tom l.. johnson, of Cleveland,
and Henry George, ofthe United States. In a
recent interview he predicts panic in 1898,
and gives substantial reasons for his predic-
tions, He says in part
Europe has had short crop and America
has had great one. England is compelled to
buy from us but she forces us to take our own
securities for payment. English bankers hold
an immense amount of American securities
and it is very handy for her to realize ON them
when the market is up. They send their
stocks and bonds to broker here and instruct
him to dispose of them and settle indebted
ness, He asks the banks for an advance on
them. The banks dare not refuse to advance
the money, for if they did the bonds would be
thrown on the market and the stocks would
investments. The immense demand for cur
rency and legal tender in the west has drained
the banks, leaving them nothing but gold
with which to carry on business. Then all
this time England is paying our balances in
trade in our own securities and the banks are
putting up the gold to settle with the pro-
ducers. This cannot last forever The re-
serves of the New York banks are down to
danger limits now, and many are borrowing
money to keep them up to the legal limit In
a short time the great demand for gold by the
brokers will clean out the banks. They twill
be compelled to refuse to loan any money on
| stocks, and the securities will be thrown on
the market, causing panic, the like of which
the country has never experienced. These
conditions caused the great panic of 1873"

HOLDS IT'S GROUND.
This is Testimony From Everywhere
as Well as Canton.

Can this be so? Is it true? Are the
facts garbled? Is the truth distorted?
These are questions which every man
and woman in Canton suffering the tor
ture of backache asks as they read the
published accounts in newspapers about
medicines which CLAIM to cure it. What.
ever the conclusion arrived at touching
the truth of these cures is he can't hedge
or finch from or disprove following, for
it took place in Canton and the expert
ences are those of representative citi-
zen. Mrs. ID. X. Bush, the wife of the
well known War Claim Attorney and

TRUE DEMOCRACY.

As Democrat who believed in the rights Of
the people, no citizen Of Ohio ever stood
higher in the respect Of the great plain people
than Governor William Allen. When in the
United States senate on one occasion he said in
defining Democracy:
Democracy is a sentiment not to be ap-
palled, corrupted or compromised. It knows
no baseness, 1t covers to no danger, il oppres-
ses no weakness. Fearless, generous and
humane it rebukes the arrogant, cherishes
honor and sympathizes with the humble. It
asks nothing but what 1t comedies, It comedies
nothing but what it demands. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator Of
liberty, labor and property. 1t is the senti-
ment of freedom, of equal rights and equal
obligations. The stupid, the selfish and the
base in spirit may denounce il as a vulgar
thing but in the history Of our race the
Democratic principal has developed and illus
trated the highest moral and intellectual at
tributes of our nation, II is a noble, sub
lime sentiment which expands our affections
enlarges the circle of our sympathies and
elevates the soul of man, until claiming an
equality with the best, it rejects as unworthy
Of its dignity any political immunity over the
humblest of its fellows"

road will be bought by the syndicate with
money alreadyin their possession which Is due
from them to the government as interest on
the bonded indebtedness. The Toledo News
says regarding the sale Of the road
"The administration has no legal obligation
and no moral right to abandon the interests of
the people in the roads. 1t is authorized by
law to bid up the defau.ting Union and Central
Pacific to their fnll value, and to acquire them
for the government If the entire amount due
cannot be obtained in any other way. That is
what congress meant to be done. 1t has
repeatedly refused to authorize any other
settlement, and in accepting less than the
government is entitled to the administration
will be guilty of something very much like a
breach of trust"

1T Is THE OHIO MAN WHO GETS
THERE.

Ohio gets everything that is worth getting.
Once in while when go over to the White
House to try and get some little consular ap-
pointment and find that it has been given to
an Ohio man. read in the newspapers that
this Ohio man has been appointed to this
desirable office, and so on and on for half a
column or so, and then read that this man
from Arizona has been appointed to desirable
office, and this man from Wisconsin has been
given good berth, but down at the end Of
the article find that they were born in Ohio

LACKS MYSTIC WEIR.

When think of the three thousand chill
dren in the city of Chicago without rags to
shelter their nakedness from the cold north
wind; of the ten thousand innocents, such as
Christ blessed, who die every year of the
world for the lack of food; of the millions
every year whose cry goes up every DAY and
night TO Gods throne.-not for salvation, but
for soup; not for the robe of righteousness but
fora second hand pair of pants--and then
contemplate those beside whose boarded
wealth the riches of Lydia's ancient kings
were but beggar's patrimony, praying to hin
who reversed the law of nature to feed the
poor, long for the mystic power to coir
sentences that scar like sulphur flames from
hot hell, and weave of words a whip o
scorpions to lash the rascals naked through th'
world Brann's lcOnoclast.

THE STORM CENTER.

And now, they say that Ohio is the battle
ground where great issues are to be decided
and is the true storm center of the political
universe, Three months ago the Republican
party in convention assembled declared that
the tariff question was settled, the silver
question a dead issue, and the dawn OF
prosperity had arrived and that only short
space of time would be needed to develop the
wisdom of the successful issue of the last
campaign But the dad gasted silver question
won't stay dead. 1t keeps poppin' up sur
reptitions like every once and awhile until il
is declared that the country's prosperity and
the success of MsKinley's administration de-
pends upon whether majority of the citizens
of Ohio declare that Mark Hanna shall stay
at home and attend to his private business, o.
they shall allow him to run the state of ohi'

There seems to be no doubt as to
Mark Hanna being of an imperious,
tyrannical disposition, and hence his
wrath as shown at his small and frosty
meetings. Contrast Mr.. Hanna's meet
ings and speeches with Mr.. Bryan's,
and the difference is too vast for lang
uage to express. Mr.. Hanna is not in
sympathy with the people, and they are
not with him, while with Bryan it is
quite otherwise. Mr. Bryan is heart and
soul in full sympathy with the Ameri-
can people, and when he addresses them
he deals in truth and plain, common
sense, tells them that which they them
selves do know" and quickly the crowd
responds and shows that they are in full
and hearty accord. Mr.. Hanna, on the
other hand, is not there at all, and hence
his utter failure. Mr.. Bryan is not
narrow, selfish and grasping, while Han
ma is. Bryan is an American citizen
among American citizens, and they
realize it all at once. Bryan advocates no
selfish schemes, has no trusts and plund-
erers to serve. He is for truth, Justice
and the constitution, and the American
people are there and will get there in

WHAT SCARED FLOWER?

Roswell p. Flower, of New York. was one of
the Democrats who bolted the Chicago conven-
ton and helped to organize the gold bug party.
Mr.. Flower is a stOckholder IN the Standard
Oil Company and other trusts, and in an
interview recently he gave it as his opinion
that the trusts should be let alone. That is
what the men who fought Bryan the hardest
thought and the election of Mckinley insures
immunity for the trusts, but we are hopeful
that it will not always be 50. 1t was not
silver that scared such men as Flower in the
last campaign, but the utterances of Bryan
on the question of trusts.-[Visalia (Cal. }

MARK HANNA's ASS.

Coxey you're q dandy man,
Once you led hobo clan,
But, now since il has come to pass,
We find you leading Hanna's ass.
Your bonds, non interest, did not go,
For doubtless Dicks nice checks you know,
You've let your party go to grass,
To drive and ride Mark Hanna's ass.
A silver man, so I am told,
But now you're in the campof gold;
Your bills think will never pass,
If you keep leading Hanna's ass.
You've got to lug heavy load,
so walk the middle Of the road;
The motto's fresh, Keep off the Grass"
SO push along with Hanna's ass.
And when you stop your ass to feed,
Just tell the people what they need;
Oh! tell them what shall come to pass,
BY leading on this tricky ass.
Tell laboring men where'er you go,
You're managing a small side show;
Stand off that the elephant may pass,
While you perform with Hanna's ass.
And should you meet the starving poor,
Tell them gold will their rights secure,
That prosperous is the wealthy class,
SO you are leading Hanna's ass.
Your pockets when they're full of fat,
| Just tell the brethren where you'reat,
And If your bills should never pass,
| 1t pays to lead Mark Hanna's ass.
