then it goes over to the regular session
of congress, and when the next congress
is elected, if legislation has not been
had before, you will not get it. You
will not, in my judgment, get 1T for
ten years. 1 don't believe there is
member of congress here nor in WASH

chinery you have designed here any
thing can be accomplished until the
Fifty Sixth congress. 1 ask you people

In closing Mr.. Walker said:
Now, L did propose that you say
something about the methods of secur-
ing legislation if there had been the
slightest hope or encouragement from
this convention, but want to say that
you have damned the whole reform,
damned her today in the weakness of
human nature, and there is no saliva
tion.''

Jumped up and protested that Mr.. Wal
ker did not understand the motive of
the men who composed the conven-
ton. He added:
I'VE came here to express our SEN
timents, and dangerous is the position
of that man in congress who charges
us with being lobbyists for immoral or
any other purposes
BY this time the delegates were
aroused and began to prepare for the

cinnati in remarks that evidently
voiced the sentiments of every man in
the convention, except Congressman
Walker and Fowler, said:

the next 60 or 80 days there is no ques-

through congress at its special session,
if it has one.
There are some men, you know, who,
for the glories of this world, sigh for
the prophets paradise to come. There
are some things they never like, but
there is one thing we may congratulate
ourselves upon, and that is that a con-

The whole wage system is wrong,
thinks Mr.. Debs, and should give place
to cooperation. He quoted statistics;
pictured the situation of the wage
earners in sweat shops; recited the in
EQUITIES of the manipulating trusts; por-
trayed the horrors of child labor and
believed in his own heart that the best
men in the world are driven to Starva-
ton and suicide because of the present
system.
1.-THE business men," said he, must
keep up the fight against corporations
or they, too, will be brought into sla-
very. Already the department stores
are crushing the small shopmen out of
cities, and there is no redress.
THE man who has too much is as
much product of an abnormal condi-
ton as the man who has too little. The
problem that now confronts the people
is that of economic emancipation. Our
forefathers fought for political free
dom, and the time has now come when
we must free ourselves from individual
slavery.

Mark Hanna to Succeed Sher-

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Associated
Press is able to positively announce that
Mr. Mckinley has rendered the state port
folio to Senator John Sherman of Ohio,
and that the distinguished Buckeye
statesman has accepted and will be the
premier of the incoming administration.
Speculation to who would be the
Ohio member in the cabinet of President
elect Mckinley has persistently lowered
about the names of Senator Sherman and
Hon. Mark Hanna, the chairman of the
national committee, the former being
mentioned in connection with the state
and treasury portfolio and the latter in
connection with the head of the treasury
and postoffice departments. 1t had been
known for some time, however, that Mr.
Hanna's ambition was a seat in the Uni
ted States senate. Retirement of Ohio 3
veteran senator to accept the position of
premier in Mr.. Mckinley's cabinet would
probably open the way to a qualification
of his ambition. Mr.. Sherman's term as
senator would expire two years hence,

foreign Gignitaries were installed into
office, and the crowd, while it did not
give him the horse laugh, felt like it.

WILL ENDORSE BURTON.
No Doubt That He Will Receive Re
publican Vote.

The Republican members of the house
and senate will hold their caucus for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
state printer and United States senator
on Monday evening. All indications at
the present time point to the nomina ton
of Major J. K. Hudson as the candidate
for the state Partnership and it is more
than probable that the Burton men will
succeed in getting the caucus to endorse
Mr.. Burton for the senate. There has
been a determined opposition the part
of the Republican members to endorsing
Mr.. Burton or to making any caucus
nomination but he has by his political
work overcome these objections and got
the majority of the members in line and
it seems that he will be the caucus nomi-
nee of the party for the senate.
