CHEERING WORDS.
CHAIRMAN McCONVILLE ISSUES
AN ADDRESS
which Sets Forth the Democratic
Gains Made in the Rec mt Eit ction
and the Sp ciaI Subj cts
for CoDRratuIa ion.

Columbus, Nov. 13.-(Special. CHAIR
man McConville of the Democratic state
executive committee has issued the fol-
lowing address:
To the Democratic and Free Silver
Voters of Ohio:-While you cannot be
felicitated upon winning a complete party
victory in the political contest just end
ed, and the official result of which has not
been fully ascertained, you may be prop
erly congratulated upon the splendid
moral victory you won, and the signifl-
canoe of your achievement, which leaves
the enemy exhausted and dispirited, while
you, presenting a solid front, await inn
patiently a bugle call to renewed duty.
The contest of 1897 was but contin-
uance of the battle of 1896 and the result
of the two actions points clearly to the
fact that in 1900, when the final triumph
of the people Is sure to come, Ohio will
lead the vanguard of the battle and help
to place the standard of victory in the
national capitol
In 1896 you We're confronted with a
thrice repeated majority of 100, 900, When
the sun of the Bird of November set, scarce
$4,000 of it remained. In 1897 that 3d.
600 confronted you and at evening on No
vemBtr less than half that number re-
mained to bar the way of the people to
their own.
In both contests you had overtopping
maiorities to overcome. Organized greed
everywhere, in the New World and the Old,
and all the apostles of centralized power,
poured unlimNied wealth into the cof-
fers of the national Republican com
mittce to debauCh the elective franchise,
and coerced the debtor and tofling classes
wherever it wa possible to vote for the
promotion OF their oppressors' interests
and against their own. In 1895 the Re
publcans elected 81 Senators and SS Rep
resGntatives to the Legislature, against &
senators and "a representatives by the
Democrats, giving a Republican majority
of 50 on joint ballot. In 1879 they claim
but five minority on joint ballot, and
these five secured in as many counties by
an aggregated plurality of scarcely 300
votes, by methods that were devious if
not doubtful and open to the gravest sus-
picions. Thus in two years you have
broken the power OF your opponents and
have forced them to the defensive You
have given renewed courage and hope to
the Democrats throughout the Union.
You are to be congratulated by the
friends of the peoples cause, the lovers
of Jeffersonian and Jacksohian principles
of government and the believers in an
American monetary system, dictated by
no foreign nation.
Strengthened by these contests, sup
ported as you are by an able, virile and
effective Democratic press in all sections
of the state, it only remains for you to
stand shoulder to shoulder and elbow to
U lbow, with the cause of humanity as
your pillar of fire by night and your pill
lar of cloud by day, ready to press for
ward and complete your victory in Ohio
in 1898 and..mass your columns for the
greater victory in..19OO.

Committee.

WHOSE BUGGY2
Il Evidently is Long Distance From
Home and Should Be Claimed
Soon.

Wadsworth's Alliance newspaper says;
"A good top buggy has been found in
the woods belonging to James l.. Scott,
north of Homeworth, and the people are
wondering to whom it belongs. They
have advertised ir the newspapers with
out finding the owner. As reported in
this paper on Monday last, a horse and
buggy belonging to Elgin Arnold, of
Limaville, was taken from in front Of
church at Marlboro Sunday night. The
horse was found on n farm west of Marl-
boro, but the buggy and harness could not
be found 1t is more than probable that
the buggy found at Homework belongs
to Mr.. Arnold.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually TO keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparila. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

THE FIGURES.
SUPERINTENDENT J. w. PONTIUS
WRITES A CARD
Which Sets at Naught Absurd Claims
Made in Resolutions Presented by
County Com issioner Summers
Yesterday at the Meeting.

Editor New -Democart My attention
has been called to set of resolutions
offered to the. board of county commits
sioners by one of the members of the
board, and desire, ,as there are many as
sertions in the preamble and resolutions
which cannot be borne out by the facts,
to make statement touching upon the
receipts and expenditures and estimated
value of work. accomplished during the
year, without desiring at this time to
enter into a discussion of the expediency
of partisan attack upon an institution
that is operated on partisan basis,
nor desiring to in any degree prejudice
such matters as may be at issue, simply
make the following statement, which
our reports at the end of the year will bear
out fully.
1t will be recalled by those who desire
to- look at workhouse affairs with un-
biased candor and with a desire to know
the facts, that in the spring of 1896 u
county commissioners urging that board
to grant to the workhouse trustees the
power to employ the workhouse labor on
the county roads This petition was
signed by some of the heaviest taxpayers
and most influential business men and
farmers in the county, and in accordance
wit r
ed and the workhouse directors, by joint
resolution, instructed to go on with the
work. In order to successfully carry out
this plan, it was apparent at the time
that large additional expense would be
created, but the county commissioners
and the workhousc trustees felt that the
benefits that would accrue to the whole
people would more than compensate for
any outlay in preparing to go about the
work. With full authority to carry on
the work, it was carried on to what benefit
hundreds Of Stark county citizens know.
As a refutation of charges contained in
the resolutions offered by member of the
board of commissioners, most palpably
without knowledge of the facts or an ex-
penditure of effort to obtain such knowl-
edge, offer the following, calling atten-
tion to the fact that in all instances where
estimates are used they are very low, as
will be attested by any member of the
workhouse board
