Baseball.

The following is from a GAINESVILLE
paper, and when agitation is commenc.

prospect of a strong little league result

Last Saturday Neal Shoemaker and
Jack Durham of Canton were in the ci-
ty comforting with local baseball en-
thusiasts with the view of organizing
a league to be known as the Ohio State
league, composed of the following
towns: Tanesville, Canton, Akron. Mas
silon, Coshocton, Newark. New Phila-
delphia, Twin Cities, Kent, Lisbon, Sa-
lem and Alliance, the league to consist
OF eight clubs.
Baseball was not at all profita BILE
during the past season and enthusiasts
will be more careful the coming season.
There is a general belief that if Zanes-
vile was put in a good league the citi-
zens as we'll as sportsmen would take
an interest in the game and make it a

Dnring the coming week the Union

The preaching is by the pastors, and
the gospel has been faithfully and ear

OCTOBER was bad month for Mr..
Bryan to make the statement in that
the first six months of the Mckinley
administration were the most disas-
trous in the history of the country, for
October has proven the best business
month in the last four years. OF
course there is no connection between
the "first six months of the Mckinley
administration" and October" but
then, while he was about it, one would
think that Mr. Bryan would have men,
toned something about October, too.

THE POLITICIAN.

President Mckinley is devoting as
much of his time as possible to the
preparation of his message to Con-
gress, but, owing to the number o1
prominent callers he has had lately,
that hasn't been much. In addi'
tiop to the numerous Senators and
Representatives who called at the
White House within the last few days,
the party of Canadian officials, headed
by Sir Wilfred Laurier. Premier Of
Canada, who are in Washington as in
terested spectators at the sealing con-
ference now going on between experts
representing the United States, Cana
da and Great Britain, and for the pur-
pose of generally improving the rela-
tions existing between this country
and Canada, if they can, were present
ed to the President by Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British Ambassador.
While the visit was purely one of cour-
tesy, both Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
President Mckinley took occasion to
express their wishes that all matters
causing friction between US and our
Canadian neighbors might be adjusted
to the mutual satisfaction and benefit
of both.
The Presidents callers have included
prominent Republicans who partici-
pated in the recent state campaigns,
and they have given him all the in
formation he wished concerning the
causes which brought about the re-
suits, but very few have been able to
tell him anything that he did not al
ready know. Tie party did quite as
we'll as it was expected to do in those
states in which the campaign was made
upon political, instead of personal
issues.
Senator Foraker, who is in Washing
ton. indignantly denies that he is a
party to any scheme to make a fight
upon the election of Senator Hanna.
In his own words; 81 do not know
thing about fight over the Senator
ship except as l see statements to that
effect in the newspapers. So far as l
am concerned the campaign ended on
election day"
Hon. ]. Fl. Brigham, Assistant Secre.
tary OF Agriculture, who took an ac-
tive part in the Ohio campaign, says
of the rumors that some Republican.
members of the legislature will not
vote for Senator Hanna. 1T looks to
me like transparent scheme of the
Democrats to create bad feeling be-
tween members of our party. 1t may
be possible that there are few men
calling themselves Republicans who
would be glad to see members of the
legislature refuse to carry out the
wishes of the party, as expressed at
the State convention, but members of
,he legislature will hardly offer them.
selves as sacrifices to satisfy the re-
,entful feelings of men who are not

Understand perfectly that very few
nembers of the party, would endorse
