DEMOCRATIC LIES.

They Do Not Draw Crowds This Year
The Calamity Waller Out of a Job.
The contrast between the republican
and democratic meetings in Ohio this
year is very striking. While all agree
in saying that republican Vmeetings
were never before attended by such
crowds in an ''off year" campaign, the
democratic meetings are miserable fiz-
zles.
This is not strange The people real.
ize what the republican party has done
for them during the brief time that it
has been in power since its restoration.
They know that the promise to re-
store prosperity has been kept and
that hundreds of thousands of willing
workers have regained employment
after long period of idleness, as re.
suit of the inauguration of republican
policies of government once more.
On the other hand, no sensible man
cares to attend democratic meeting
and hear calamity waller lie. At the
opening meeting of the democratic
campaign in Columbus one of the
speakers insulted his hearers by telling
them nothing had come of the election
of Mckinley but lot of broken re-
publican promises, when he knew that
the most important of all republican
promises had been kept, and all the
industries of the city of Columbus were
booming as they had not doomed be-

democratic speakers when they talk
like that
Big crowds do not always indicate
big majorities. That was proved last
year when thousands gathered to see
the boy orator and hear him talk, just
as people go to see circus This year
in Ohio, however, there are no curiosi-
ties to draw crowds. The people who
attend campaign meetings are drawn
there by genuine interest. and a big
majority of them will vote for the can.

Twill tell you about it:

badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the

he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was a Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady

GOVERNOR BUSHNELL.
The People Appreciate the Benefits They
Have Derived From His Strict Business
Principles.

The People Appreciate the Benefits They
Have Derived From His Strict Business
Principles.
When Gen. Bushnell was elected
governor of Ohio he promised to give
the people business administration
of state affairs. How we'll he has kept
that promise the books of the auditor
of state will show.
Two years ago the finances of the
state were in demoralized condition,
owing to the extravaganza which had
characterized the administrations of
Cows. Hoadley and Campbell. During
the administration of Gov. Mckinley
long step was taken in the direction of
placing the Ohio treasury upon solv-
ent basis, but the legacy of democratic
debt was SO large as to render the at
tempt partially unsuccessful. A big
reduction was made in the running
expenses of the state institutions, but
the revenues had been anticipated
during the Campbell administration,
and Gov Mckinley had uphill work
during his four years in the State
House. Important revenue legislation
was enacted during his term, however,
and much of that legislation has be-
come operative since Gov. Bushnell
assumed the reins of the state govern
ment.
During the past two years Gov. Bush
nell has succeeded in placing the peni-
tentiary and several of the other pub
lie institutions on paying basis for
the first time in many years, and as
result the state government is now
practically self-sustaining. Not only
that, hut the increase in the revenues
from the taxation of semi-public cor
porations and the increase in the Dow
law tax, which was recommended by
Gen. Bushnell, will give the state an
additional revenue of about 81, 900, 900
year.
This means that there will be plenty
of money with which to meet the ordi-
nary expenses of the state without
levying an additional tax upon the
tangible property of the people, such
as farms and homes, and plenty of
money also with which to reduce the
state debt.
We are sure that the people appreci-
ate the benefits they have derived from
the application of strict business prin-
Giples to the administration of state
affairs, aud for that reason we are con-
fident they will indorse Gov. Bushnell
by giving him tremendous majority
at the polls on November 9. 2.-Cleveland

Mark Hanna spent time and money
in bringing out Mckinley as the legiti-
mate candidate of the republican party
for president. He worked hand in
hand with the workingmen of the
country, who passed resolutions and
issued addresses to the convention,
urging the nomination of Mckinley.
1t was Hanna and organized labor,
rather than the politicians who brought
about the nomination of the foremost
exponent of the American protective
system, which had in the past so years
brought better wages to American
laborers than workingmen had ever
before received in the history of this
or any other country.
"To go back on Mark Hanna now is
to go back on Mckinley, is to go back
on yourselves; to go back to idle mines,
furnaces, factories, workshops in every
human industry; to go back to starva-
ton wages and ragged children.
Mark Hanna has been assailed, ma
ligned, as no other American has ever
beenlwith the exception of Washing
ton and Lincoln, for no other reason
than that, backed by the workingmen
of the country, he saved the nation
from commercial dishonor and national
disgrace. For the workingmen of Ohio
to fail in duty at the forthcoming elec-
ton would be like the rank and file Of
the army to turn their backs upon an
arrogant enemy and expose the coun-
try to the tender mercies of ruthless
invader"

POLITICAL POINTS.


EB- Mr.. Hanna does not find it nee
essary to conduct his candidacy over
some other mans shoulders.
EB- The coldest spots in this state
just now are where Horace L. Chap
man tills his campaign engagements.
GE- The Warner senatorial dodge
will not go. Take off the mask and
you are face to face with John R.
Mclean.
eB- Senator Thurston, who has just
completed tour of Ohio, says the peo-
pie of this state are saying nothing
about free silver. Why refer to dead
issues?
GaB- The Cincinnati Enquirer must
have a versatile constituency. 1t
howls calamity on its editorial page,
and runs prosperity articles in its
news columns.
EB- The exodus of clear-sighted and
independent voters from the fusion
list" party to the republican ranks is
rapidly assuming the proportions of a
full-hedged hegira.
eB John r. Mclean will with
draw" from the senatorial race when
the republicans elect a majority of the
next general assembly-not before.
Every Ohio republican should remem-
ber that.
GB' In commencing the organization
of the Business Mems Republican
league in Columbus, the Toledo Blade
says: There is an example which
should be followed by the business
men of every city in Ohio. One influ-
ential business man in politics is worth
an army of ward heelers. The result
of their labors will be purer politics
and safe government"
EB- Republicans are having excel
lent meetings. They are well attended
and the crowds are interested and en-
thusiastic. This indicates an old-time
republican majority in Lucas county
next month. The county and legisla-
tive tickets are being generally dis
cussed, and this is favorable to the re-
publican candidates. The more they
are compared the greater the repub-
lican majority.-Toledo Blade.
GB- Retailers in the manufacturing
md agricultural districts report an
enormously increased business since
the enactment of the new tariff law
md the increased employment which
has followed. Between the growth in
earnings of the people employed in
manufacturing districts and the good
prices which farmers are getting for
their grain, business is gooG with the
retailers, and as consequence with
all classes in the mercantile and man
ufacturing communities of the country.
GB- Ohio is republican state when
every republican votes for that party
1t can be made democratic only by su-
preme indifference upon the part of
the majority. The stakes are too great
this fall to admit of any dereliction of
duty. The business-like administra-
tion of Gov. Bushnell must be ap-
proved. The Mckinley administration
must be indorsed. Senator Hanna
must be returned to the senate. There
is but one way to accomplish these re-
suits Let every republican do his
duty.-Ohio State Journal
