Badly Needsd a. Hom8--Why C0lum.
bus Workingmen Cannot Respond
10 Any Appeals FOR aid.

Columbus, O., October 1.-THE
workingmen Of this city are receiving
appeals for aid from other places and
are anxious that the real situation here
be made known III order that further
deception be prevented They say
conditions are far from satisfactory
Take, for example. the Columbus Bug
gy Company, which started up few
months ago. When the works were
opened the men were employed ten
hours per day every day OF the week
except Sunday and a half holiday Sat
urday. Week before last the men were
WORKING nine hours only three days
in the week. Last week nine hours
and four days prevailed, and no one
knows what will be the rule next
week. The reduction in the wages of
employees, except for a few skilled en-
ployes, has been from IS 1-3 to so per
cent.
In other shops of the city even
worse conditions prevail. In places
where formerly men worked ten hours
per day they now WORK two or three
hours and are compelled to loaf the
rest OF the time. 1t is said that mar-
chants have abandoned accounts VITA
W0rkingmen amounting 10 several
thousand dollars, simply because the
men, though willing and anxious to
pay, could not do so. President Wolf,
OF the printers union, says that the
job offices are all working short hours
and employing small forces. The CT
garmakers' union supports many Of its
members out OF employment The
building industry is IN a deplorable
condition, both as to wages and work.
Lathing, which in ordinary times
brought from $3.50 to 81 per 1000. is
being put On at from rs cents TO Sf.25,
and even at those figures boss plas-
terers are compelled TO do some of the
lathing in order to come out even on
job. Although in distress them
selves, the members of the Columbus
Trades Council are frequently appealed
TO by wOrkingmen OF other cities.
The latest appeal came from the Ports
mouth Moulders' Union, stating that
its members were out against a 20 per
cent. reduction.

FINDING PAY DIRT.
The KanaWha County Grand Jury
Still at Work and a Number Of
People Are on The Anxious Seat.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, October 1.-THE
special grand jury empaneled last
Monday and again on Friday to inves-
tigate the numerous charges of brib-
cry that have been made, adjourned
yesterday till Tuesday next 1t is I'M
derstood that indictments against three
members of the city council, and also
another man who is a brother of one
of these members Of the council, have
already been prepared.
The grand jury will also investigate
the charges of bribery among the vari-
Gus boards of education of the county,
where positions Of teachers have been
bought and sold like merchandise.
The jury finds a great deal more to
investigate than Was anticipate when it
began and it will probably be in ses-
sion all next week. There are a large
number Of prominent officials in Kama
VIA county on the anxious seat, fearing
that their names will appear in the list
CT indictments.
Tt is charged that the Hog Combine
has undertaken to influence certain in
dictments from being returned. but it
remains to be seen what SUCCESS they
will have il that direction.

and an era of decency approaches.
While we have no doubt Of the ability
of the people of Kanawha county to res
cue their government from the pirates,
we are equally certain that the latter
will not let go without a struggle. Even
now there are rumors afloat that mem
bers of the present grand jury are under
the influence of the ring. 1t is hard to
believe this, hard to believe that six
teen representative citizens selected
with care, and charged with solemn
oath to do their duty without fear or
favor, would so far forget their respon-
sibilities as to tamper with justice and
the public interest at the behest of a
band of corruptionists aptly termed the

ionists. They realize that in order to
secure any support for the Cleveland
boss in this county the Hanna-Cox
legislative ticket must be elected.
They concede that the result of thu
balloting will be close for members of
the General Assembly, but they profess
to believe that the candidates named at
Music Hall have the best chance of
election.
CANNOT STAND TREACHERY.
A leading Republican, who is also
prominent business man, said Tues
day night he had hoped until the
Music Hall convention adjourned that
he would be able TO support the Re-
publican local ticket He declared,
however, that proper sense of self
respect, combined with the action Of
George B. Cox in breaking faith With
the committee of twelve, had Put It
out of his power to do anything of the
kind

Il shall vote for the fusion county
candidates, including members of the

is doubtless true that the regular Re-
publican candidates for the Legisla-
ture would support Mark Hanna for
Senator they would vote on all local
legislation in accordance with the in
structions given by Cox. | shall re-
greet to see Hanna defeated for the
Senatorship, but if that is to be his
tate he will get no more than he de-
serves. He made a mistake last win
ter when he entered into a deal with
Cox to secure the aid of the latter in
Wringing a Senatorial appointment
from the unwilling hands of Governor
Bushnell. Hanna should have had too
much pride TO accept the SenatOrship
under the circumstances. He would
have made better impression on the
country if he had stood aside and let
Sherman'S tOga go where Bushnell
wanted to bestOw it. Instead of doing
that he went down OH his knees to this
fellow Cox and using the latter as
club, forced Bushnell to appoint him

national standpoint, but from a local
point of view the final overthrow OF
Boss Cox is of more Importance. We

spring. In order to strip him of every

lutely necessary that ne be driven out

DEMOCRATS ARE PLEASED.
The Democratic managers are well
pleased with the fusion county ticket
nominated at Tuesdays convention
and Endorsed by the independent Re
publicans They demonstrated their
generosity by conceding TO their allies
five places on the Legislative and four
places on the county ticket. They
| have asked but one pledge from the
Republicans named for the Legislature
on the fusion ticket, and that is that
they VIII not, under any circumstances,
support Mark llama for Senator. This
pledge has been readily given IN every
instance. Well posted Democratic
leaders say the fusion ticket will car
ry Hamilton county by at least $1,000
majority. They expect, also, that
Chapman viii defeat Bushnell for
Governor in the county by safe ma
jority.

FACTS VERSUS TALK.

Bellaire Tribune (Republican.)
There is a story or Il man Of the Olden
time who became so infatuated with q
wandering story-teller that he staid TO
listen till the fire on the hearth at
home went out and his wife and ba-
bies were frozen. Perhaps something
like this is going on about Us to-day.
Here in Ohio a man is wandering
about telling tales not so very marvel
Gus but full Of brag and buster and
promise. Many a man who listens has
not the price of a week living in his
pocket, and no assurance that it is com
ing from any source. Yet he forgets
this fact and listens 10 the promises
and brag and bluster, which will not
feed him and his family, though he have
never so much CT them. The things
that are told him are alluring enough
but the thing that ne knows without
being told is that he and his fellows
are having hard time and making no

THE HANNA CAMPAIGN
OVER IN BELMONT

The issue in Ohio this fall is Mark
Hanna, and nowhere is this more ap-
parent than in the river towns across
in Belmont county. Every place
where politics is discussed the name
OF the Cleveland statesman is the shib-
bolath, and while opinions differ as to
his merits as a political quantity, all
agree with one accord that he is a
past master in the art of party manipu-
lation and political chicanery. His
emissaries are hard at work in Bell
ARE, Bridgeport and Martins Ferry in
their efforts to prove to the laboring
men that Marcus AlonZo has ever been
their warmest friend and we'll wisher,
and is to-day the capital to the main
pillar in the temple Of trades unionism
and liberal wages. But this is not an
easy task. Mr.. Hanna's attitude to-
ward labor is matter of record and it
is now impossible TO manufacture him
new one. The die is cast and the
deal is done. What the local trades
assemblies Of Cleveland, which are
composed of men who have felt the
pressure Of his iron heel have to say
Of him is or will be in the hands Of
every laboring man in Belmont county
before election day. 'Laboring men
may then vote for or against their
own interest as they choose sarcas-
tically remarked a toller to the Regis

ever saw are Carlos LeatherwoOd,
Democratic candidate for commission
err and Charles Henrietta, who is run
ming upon the same ticket for county
surveyor. Both are splendid young
men, and the returns on election day
are bound to speak well CT their ef-

candidate, and the growing sentiment
even among Republicans that the DEM
OcTats should have a minority repre-

favor. Henrietta has been going in

one Of the most unique and at the

OPPOSITION TO COX.


Cox has intensified the opposition to
him in Republican circles by his failure
to keep faith with the committee Of
twelve leading Republicans who were
selected several days ago to prepare a
slate for the local Offices. This COM
mittee was named at the special request
of Mark Hanna and his friends who
desire to secure, il possible, solid Re-
publican support for the Hanna-Cox
legislatiye ticket. To carry out the
pretensSNAat he intended to act on the
squaE Cox declined to become a del
eg2fe to the Republican county conven-
kon, which assembled last Tuesday
N Music Hall. He did not appear dur
dng the proceedings, but his hand was
plainly visible in the making of GER
tain nominations. The peace-and-har-
mony-at-any-pric committee reported
to the convention a slate and asked
its adoption. The delegates accepted
the recommendations Of the committee,
so far as the legislative ticket and can
didates for local minor Offices were
concerned, but when it came to select
ing nominees for the important Offices
of county clerk, treasurer and county
commissioner, the slate was smashed
into smithereens and gang candidates
were named for these positions by a.
vote of about 100 to l.
TREACHERY OF THE BOSS.
Up to the time that the committees
Slate was broken the decent Republic
cans thought they were in control of
the convention. They were undeceiv-
ed when they saw how easily their ia
vorites were set aside and the leaders
of the gang were substituted.
Cox's treachery has greatly increas-
ed the proportions of the Republican
revolt in this county. The campaign
will be fought out here on strictly
local lines. The paramount question
IS as to whether the reputable citizens
of Cincinnati are able to deliver them
selves from the domination of a cor
rupt and INSCRIPTIONS political boss.
The right of popular government has
, for the time being obscured the issues
of protective tariff and the free coin
age of silver.
HANNA MEN DISCONSOLATE.
The Hanna managers are unable to
extract a single grain of comfort from
the fact that the fusion legislative
ticket contains the names of five Re-
publicans While they believe these
men if successful at the polls will de-
cline TO support a Democrat for
United States Senator, they have no
reason to hope that Hanna will profit

The party lash, however, is being ap-
piled without mercy in the interest Of
t>a Junior Senator, and how much OF
the labor vote will be scutched back
into line is a question which both par
ties are pOnderinG. This, too, has
placed some Of the labor leaders over
there in q very unenYiable position.
or instance, one very estimable gem
tleman who, under all other circum-
stances, is staunch advocate Of the

Hanna on the grounds Of national is
sues. But his argument won't go, for
he is daily being quoted against him
self. Last spring when he returned
2s delegate from the meeting OF the
Chic Trades Assembly at Columbus, he
made several stTOng speeches to his
fellow workers urging them to support
iaoCring men for the Legislature in
Their respective conventions. Now,
after MS party has braEeniy turned
