n Columbus, Jan. l6.--(Special THE
Broad question whether the American
people prefer fair politics to brutality,
honesty to iniecency, is to have trial,
and there is TO be no escape from the re-
cord. Ths United States Senate, touted
AS the acme Of craftsmanship and honor,
will sit in Judgment not only on one of
the most odoriferous politicians Of his
generation but upon the broader question
as to whether seat purchased is seat
earned in the meaning of the nation, $
customs It is to be question whether
the august senate shall deliberately ap-
plaud debauchery and encourage scandal.
Mark Hauna, the corrupt, is not to
have his seat in the senate without a
struggle. and he will discover before this
thing is over that the people are going to
have a verdict concerning the expediency
of corruption as a national characteristic.
They propose that the question will be
presented in SO broad a sense that while
Hanna will feel the crushing weight OF
public disapproval, his connection with
it will b, only incidental, the stability OF
public institutions being assailed and the
right of self government aud majority
rule being at issue.
There can't be any question about the
Otis case. Why, Tom Campbell, the well
known Cincinnati lawyer, has the money
now-.the original package thatHollenbeck
and Dick are said TO have sent as the first
installment Of the $40 600. The connection
is too positive to admit of question and it
is going to he shown that some decency
vet remains in Ohio and that the good
people propose TO nave something to say
about whether thu name of the state
shall forever be associated with shame.
Lane and Droste, who voted for Hanna
after beirg elected on a platform
diametrically opposite to that occupied
by the Mckinley purse-holder, are getting
daubed, but difficulty is being experienced
in dir city fastening guilt. A lead has
been obtained, howev IL, that will not be
entirely unprolidc Of result
Besides Tom Campbell and the firm
with which be is connected, several pro
minent Ohio law firms have been retain

feet accord
Mayor MoKissou, Of Cleveland, is not

A fair vote in the United States senate
will keep Hsnna out and the fact that
Hanna cannot vo'e,on the question raised
concerning his own seat will initiate at
least one vote in the direction of an
honest decision.
One of the men who has had consider
able finger in this latest step is very
much vilihed citizen known as John P.
Jones. His motives have been unstint-
edly assiiled,, yet he conducted himself
with dignity and decorum that has re-
suited in the confusion of those who have
approached him in ali untoward hume or.
Jones knows all the facts. He knows too
that he has been abused but he is bid
ing his time and intends to produce such
evidence as he has at hand at the proper
time. without the slightest feeling Of re-
sentiment against his traducers he says
that he will demonstrate the correctness
of his position and believes that major
ity of the people of Stark county hold in.
dividual honesty above party fealty. He
thinks that it is high time somebody is
running on a Republican platform re-
commencing purity of elections and dis
Ipt
While what Mr. Jones thinks about it
may not obtain largely in the great battle
before the United States senate, when
McKisson contests the seat of Hanna, the
fact Of his determined front is of in
terest in Stark county. Your correspond
ent has been able to note some things
that have occurred here, and would not
be doing Justice to the value of the item
as positive news feature if there should
be neglect to state that one of the liveliest
of thl Hanna workers, and one whose
actions have not escaped scrutiny, is Con
gressman RW. Taylcr, Of the Eighteenth
district. Tangibility of evidence Is not
now at hand, but it is not unlikely that
the affairs at Columbus may be gone in
to to such an extent that Mr. Tayler may
be asked about where he was and what
he WAS doing on one particular occasion
at least. 1t is sufficient now to say that
Mr.. Tayler will have an interesting time
when he comes up for reelection. 1t
has besn said that T. F. Turner of Can
ton, has an understanding with Tayler,
and that Turner has promised to keep
out Of this way and assist TaylPr TO a
third term This will not be allowed
without struggle. If Turner wants to
run there will not be much complaint,
but in connection with the affairs now
under investigation here, it has been de-
cided that Tayler must be defeated. II
il is necessary John i. Jones will run
independently. Jones is being encouraged
by labor unions everywhere in the dis
trict. He has received word that at n
meeting Of the Massillon Trades and
Labor Assembly his appointment as
chairman of the labor committee of the
Legislature. was endorsed
So it will be seen that while McKisson
is fighting Hanna, the partisins in each
faction will be engaged in local strife,
Stark county will be interested every
inch of the way.

SIGNS OF RABIES.
A Man Who Was Bitten By a Dog
is Havingia Complication of
Troubles.

William Friges, of Crystal Springs, who
was injured at Hernbrook mine about
two weeks ago, seems to have more than
his share of troubles. About four years
ago he was bitten by dog and has shown
signs OF rabies at intervals ever since,
especially when unduly excited. Satur-
day while at work he became so violent
that it was found necessary to remove
him to his home under guard to prevent
him from doing injury to himself, and
fears are entertained that he will lose his
reason. Mr.. Friges is usually quiet, in
dustrious young man and under ordinary
conditions exhibits no signs Of mental
arrangement.
