coMMENDs GOV. TANNER.
President Ratchford Talks of the Mine
Strike in Illinois.


COLUMBUS, o.. October IA special
from Massillon, O., says NJ. D. Ratehford,
president of the United Mine Workers of
America, has gone to Washington TO at
tend the first meeting of the industrial
commission recently appointed, of which
he is a member. Concerning the Illinois
strike, he said just before leaving here:
Governor Tanner is sworn to guard life
and property Of citizens of the State of
Illinois He is perfectly justified in TAX
ing the action that he has. The class of
men hs has to stand out against are
mainly ex-convicts who learned to mine
coal in the penitentiary mines of Ala
bama. No man has right, morally or
legally, to import such a class of people
into a State to take the places OF men
who have honest records and who are a
credit to the commonwealth. There is not
a good citizen in Illinois who would not
uphold Governor Tanner in the effort
he is making to keep beyond its borders a
class of people with nothing but Grim
inal and penitentiary records to recon-
mend thea
Il have sent word that all the union
miners who have been killed in the re-
cent clashes at Pana should be given de-
cent burial at the expenseof the union.

On the high grade oils this is an ad-
vance of three cents since the last quo
tations were published on Saturday.
while it is an advance of one cent on
all the low grade oils. This only goes
to showathat the prophecy made in the
Register some time ago to the effect
that the price of oil would go up and
that steadily, too, were made in good
faith, and that the writer knew what
he was talking about. There is not the
least doubt but that the price of credit
balances will go still higher and that
too, in a very short time According
to the reports of the pipe lines so far
this month there has been a decline in
the stocks of about half a million bar
rels, and by the end of the month it
viii exceed one million barrels. This
will be an increase in the falling off of
about two hundred thousand barrels
of oil.

Mi. william Seymour Edwards who
would throw up the sponge Il they
dared IN the First district Captain
Dovener has not won back the friends
he lost through his course in distri-
buting the patronage; his talk about
what he did towards Ohio river i'm
provement is pure tommyrot; and he
is steadily losing ground, which his
able and popular Democratic opponent
is gaining in proportion. In the Second
district Hon. John T. McGraw has re-
fused to let Mr. Dayton alone for
minute since the opening of the cam
pain, and has that protege of Mr.. Ell
kins in condition bordering on men
tai collapse. Mr.. Dayton's official life
has been under Mr.. McGraw's keen
scalpel until all the false pretense and
incompetency therein have been exposed
most thoroughly to the gaze of the pub
lie. In fact, the campaign in the Sec
ond district resembles a post norton
more than anything else, with Mr..
Dayton as the subject There is little
doubt of the verdict of the jury-the
public.
In the Fourth district Judge Freer
has lowered himself many degrees in
popular estimation by his refusal to re-
sign his Office of circuit judge in view
of his candidacy, while his able young
opponent, Hon. George l. Neal, is max
ing the campaign of his life which is
saying much, and rapidly adding to his
very wide circle of friends and his
well deserved popularity.
The Republican candidates have no
issues they dare advance, since the
war has proven such a decided boom
erang to the administration through
war department mismanagement and
political favoritism, and in every Sec
ton of the State they are receiving
the cold shoulder from the people.

THE WHITEWAsH TOO THIN.

The kind of whitewash the War In
vestigation Commission is putting onto
Mr.. Alger is entirely too tin to hide
the black rottenness beneath.
The Commission no longer makes
pretense of conducting an honest in
quiry or investigation, but openly nags
and bullyrags witnesses who have
anything to tell, with a view of con-
fusing or engaging them and getting
them into false positions and to make
false accusations.
q Every witness known to have any
thing to tell is treated as hostile. In
the case of Major Seaman, for instance,
him to tell the whole truth, cut him
short whenever he started to tell any
thing, asking him irrelevant. mIsiead-
ing and confusing questions, getting
him if possible to accuse himself and
leading him to talk around in a circle
instead of getting him to tell what he
knew
The manner in which Gov. Beaver
and Dr. Conner worried, bullyragged,
nagged, bulldozed and even threatened
Major Seaman, when the latter was on
the stand, would have been a foul dis
grace to a shyster lawyer and would
not have been tolerated in any court of
justice in the land. Instead of trying
to get the truth the leading members
of the so-caHed Investigation Commits
sion did everything in their power to
prevent the witness from telling the
truth and to get him to distort his tes-
timony in favor of the war department.
This was so plain as to be positively
indecent. Every effort of Gov. Beaver
and DR.. Conner was to tangle up and
confuse the witness and keep him
silent upon the most important points,
and the only things of importance
Major Seaman was enabled to get into
his testimony he blurted out needless
OF the deliberate efforts to stop his
mouth by such hasty calculations from
Gov Beaver as. Eyes, yes, we know all
about that" or yes, yes, we under
stand the witnesses position on those
points," etc.
This so-called investigation is worse
than a farce; it is an Infamous outrage
on justice and decency. Its conduct
is an affront to the American people,
for there is not a school boy in the
land of ordinary intelligence who does
not recognize the motive of the So
called investigation and thoroughly I'M
derstand that it is the most transpar-
ent scheme to whitewash the war de-
partment, through whose utter incom-
petence political favoritism and gross
mismanagement nearly ten times as
many men of our splendid army died
in peace camps on our own soil as were
killed in war.

A COLLAPSED CAMPAIGN.

Tn the Third district the Republican
candidate Mr.. Edwards has already
given up; according to reports he mas
cancelled his engagements and resolved
to continue hopeless fight no longer.
Mr.. Edwards7s trouble has been lack
of audiences. His stumping tour has
been a farce and mere waste of money.
The people would not turn out to hear
him. They would not listen to him.
When he spoke of mckinley pros
perity" to those people, who have suf-
fered more deprivation under this ad-
ministration than in any previous
period and until honest labor has
hard time to keep body and soul to-
gether, the people Indignantly turned
their backs on him. At no time prom
Using. Mr. Edwards's campaign de-
veloped into a genuine frost all along
the line and has now utterly collapsed.
Republicans by the thousand through
out the district have openly deserted
their party and are as openly support
ing the candidacy of Judge Johnston.
who has gained in popular favor what
his opponent has lost.
Whether Mr. Edwards proposes to re-
sign his candidacy or not has not been
stated. He would probably willingly
do so if any one could be found willing
to assume the burden at this late day.
Otherwise, unless he is pricked into
continuing the campaign for appear
ance's sake and in order not to dis
hearten his brethren in the other dis
tricts, 1t is evident that Mr.. Edwards
proposes to waste no more time in
futile campaigning but to let the battle
go by default. The Democratic ma
jority in the Third district is now es
timated at from 5000 to 5000.
While the Republican campaign in
the other three districts is still going
on apparently as usual, it is an open
secret that the barometer of Repub-
lican hopes is rapidly falling, and the
unlimited use of money, of which they
have large sums at command. Most
of this Doodle, however, is for use on
the Legislative ticket, and is so being
used, the State bosses devoting prac-
tically all their efforts to electing a
majority in the next Legislature, to
accomplish which, if the necessity shall
come, it is we'll known they will sacri-
flee every Congressional candidate in
the State Not only are the holders of
the Virginia deferred certificates in
Wall street putting up handsomely to
carry the next Legislature in the hope
of having that body recognize their

to electing the Legislative candi-
dates. And the United States
Senatorship is much more i'm
