The Ohio Democracy haye not recog-
nized John II. Mclean as citizen of
Ohio for years. AS far back as March,
1894, a distinguished Ohio Democrat
publicly renounced claim to Mclean as
an Ohioan in a speech in the House of
Representatives The occasion was a
discussion of the rates charged by the
Washington Gas Company, OF which
Mr.. Mclean is president. The Ohio
Democrat in question being active in
support of the proposition to reduce the
pr ee of gas was reminded by another
Democrat that the chief owner of the
Washington Gas Company was 'very
distinguished citizen of the State which
the gentleman from Ohio has the honor
TO represent in part on this Hoor," to
which the Ohio Democrat responded:
''Ho. beg the gentleman's pardon.
He is resident of Washington"

In his speech at Toledo Tuesday night.
Senator Foraker read quotation from
the Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) which
says:
There is no halting in the advance.
Business grows better in all ways and
there is steady increase in the pro-
duction and in the employment of the
working forces and the power to pro-
duce overshadows all others. There
are now 81 per cent. more men working
in New York than there were a year
ago, and this ratio of increase means
that there are 100000 more men en-
ployed now than there were year ago. 4"
Again he quoted from the Cleyeland
Plain Dealer of u recent issue, the fol-
lowing:
More drays, carts and vehicles car
rylng merchandise are noticed on the
streets every day. From early morning
until late ut night, the streets being
alive" (They work eight hours day
there). (Applause). at needs no
prophet to tell the people that there is
greater volume of business carried on
in Cleveland now than there has been
within the past three years. There are
less idlers around the city hall and less
applicants for work. One might as
we'll say the sun does not shine as to say
the times are not getting better
Throwing all notions of politics aside
the Plain Dealer must acknowledge
the truth"

ANSWER:

just having completed annual report
1t shows the cost to be but $50 pei
lamp per year for 43 street lamps. Oul
system is operated in connection with
a direct pressure water system, and
this is a great saving in operating the

entire satisfaction, and the best light

IT is now said that Mr.. Hanna is
to be the victim of a combine. just

to be downed by a political combine!-
Atlanta Constitution.
Dinghy thinks that the New York
election turned on local issues entirely.
Was it worth Dingley's while to pass
tariff bill that isn't worth vindicating at
the polls Utica Observer.
The republicans will have a ma
iority on Joint ballot in the Ohio legis-
Iature, but it won't be safe for Mr..
Hanna to put his checkbook away for
some time yet.-Minneapolis Times.
In the opinion of Mr.. Hanna no
man ever has such an opportunity to
exhibit broad craftsmanship as the one
which now confronts Mr.. Foraker, but
the latter continues to skate about the
suburbs of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Commercial-Appeal.
President McKinley's debt to
Hanna is unquestionably very great
Hanna, by devious methods, made him
the candidate of the republican conven-
ton. Hanna procured the enormous
campaign fund by the use of which his
election was comprised. Hanna, IN
short. made Mckinley president, so far
as such an agent can be said to have ac-
complished such ar end. That is, had
it not been for Hanna some other repub-
lican would have been nominated and
perhaps elected.-Boston Post.
One of Mark Hanna's newspaper

WHAT ARE COIN BoNDsq
Bond Sharks Are Growing Very So
1icitOus.

Bond Sharks Are Growing very So
licitOus.
The secretary of the treasury thinks
that by issuing gold bonds" he could
remove "ambiguity from our contract
obligations" This is disingeuious
begging of the question, for the Sec
rotary knows that all ''ambiguity'' as
to coin bonds was removed through
decision given by the encouragement
of the United States in 1877, and sub
sequently through the adoption of the
Stanley Matthews resolution by con-
gress. In 1877 John Sherman asked
| if the word coin" did not mean gold,
and was informed that it meant just
| what it said, namely, "coin," and coin
means gold and silver.
An exchange relates the facts con-
corning the decision in the following
paragraph:
| 1870 the law provided for the coinage of both
gold and silver; that the coin bonds were
| issued that year, and that coin then meant
| gold and silver, and by their terms they
| were and are yet payable IN golo ana slL-
YER"
| Since the republican administration
went into power the bondholders have
become very solicitous about the mean
ing of the word 'coin." If they can.
through the aid of the head of the
government succeed in having their
coin bonds made payable in gold, they
will have the satisfaction of breaking
an honest contract and committing the
people in a manner never contem-
plated.
The goldites are very solicitous about
the sacredness of a contract, and one
of their chief arguments against BIZ
metallism is that its adoption will af-
feet contracts made on gold basis"
But when it comes to the dishonest
Juggling of a contract made on BIZ
metallic basis, they have no conscien-
ticus scruples whatever. The whole
gold propaganda is conspiracy on the
| part of the money power to rob the
| maSSeS-IIlinois State Register.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.
acKInIcy's Majority Being RapidIs
Wine6 Ont.

ucKinIcy's Majority Being Rapidly
Wiped Out.
The republican organs that are now
CRYING out that the elections in the
east are no indication of the feelings
of the voters on national issues like to
believe what they say, but as they do
not believe their own statements they
are not likely to convince anyone OF
the correctness of their claims. Local
elections do not always group the vo-
tiers on the lines that divide the nation
al parties, but when the same party Is
found to be the gamer in almost every
state and community in which the
votes were cast it is absurd to say that
the fact has no meaning. Throughout
the states that held an election the
democrats were uniformly successful
In the republican states they cut down
the republican maJorities. Kentucky
| is brought back to the democracy, al
though the republicans had strong
allies in the gold democrats of that
commonwealth. Virginia showed such
an increase of democratic strength that
| the republicans did not even put ticket
| in the field. And in New York, where
the forces of the gold democrats and
republicans last year rolled up $685.
900 plurality for Mckinley, the state
democracy has a plurality of nearly
$4,000. The only check to the demo
cratic advance is found in Maryland,
which remains in the republican col
umn.
If anyone doubts the significance of
the returns, we commend them to the
l. - h@ hos
made the fight of the gold democracy
in Kentucky with skill and courage.
He abandons the cause of an anti-dem-
ocratic democracy in the following
words:
1.-THE issue. as It was made and has been
| fought out, was clear and explicit. No EFFORT
| was wanting to maintain 1t. Nobody could
| by any possibility be mistaken about 1t.
| We may regret the verdict, but we accept 1t.
We shall make no further effort to direct
| the party course or counsels, or to snare
| in any of the responsibilities of party lead
| ership, having done our best, according to
| our conscience and belief, to divert our po-
litical associates from policy and pro-
| cedure the end of which no man can now
| foresee and the result of which we very
| much fear, both as to the welfare OF the
| country and Of the party. But we are DEM
| ocrats, not republicans, and mailing our
| flag to the masthead of honest money, free
| trade and home rule, we shall, in the char
| acter of private soldier in the ranks. con-
| tribute whatever we are able to the ascer-
! tainment and vindication of the truth"
1t is democracy that has won. The
party is united once more, and united it
is victorious. The figures of the votes
will make the republicans and their
gold allies thankful that it is but a
number of by-elections instead of the
national contest that has just been de-
cided. The great majority that swept
Mckinley into the presidency has al
ready been wiped out, and a vote to-
morrow on the issues of last year would
put the democratic candidate in the
white house.-San Francisco Examiner.

Another utad

The following story proves what hardly
needs proving, that a man may handle books
without being a scholar. It wasn't in the
book stall of department store; it was
in real bookstore; bookstore, moreover,
where you would expect to find statesmen
who know books. A friend of mine went in
the other day and asked for Pope's 'Iliad.
The salesman went away to look for it
Presently he returned with a book in his
hand. I'VE haven't Pope's 'niad,' he said
'but we have an 1iad.' It's by Homer
though. '-Washingto Post,
