should Defeat Mclean.

The Mclean Hamilton county plan
is that delegates shall be appointed.
The old democratic way, which has
run through the history Of the party
since its first organization, was for
delegates to be elected.
When John Il. Mclean comes into
the state of Ohio from his residence in
Washington and undertakes this kind
of Imperialism, claiming authority 10
dictate who shall be democratic COM
mitteemcn and who shall be delegates
to democratic conventions, il is high
time for the democracy OF the state
to rise up against him. It is an as
sumption of power aud dangerous in
the extreme, especially when coupled
with an unbridled ambition.
There is something dearer to demo-
Gratis than the dictum of packed con-
vention, dearer than resolutions pass
ed by those who are known to have
been collected by this self-constituted
boss and virtual alien from the state,
as un-democratic in his instincts as
his residence is foreign to the state of
Ohio.
There are sound, historic democratic
principles and practices which every
democrat ought to know and adhere
to. Every democratic hand should be
raised against the man who would
trample down the principles and
rights of democrats and the well
known and accepted principles of the
democratic party in the election of Off
GERS and its delegates to political con-
ventions.
The way to clean UP the democratic
party in the state of Ohio is to defeat
this un-democratic alien. who has
come into the state unasked by petit
tion or resolution of any democratic
body, vet who assumes the right 10
oyerturn democratic precedents and
make himself dictator of the party
as well as governor of the state

"The journal would like to risk a
prediction. The democrats are going
to be numerically thrashed in Ohio.
And they are going to suffer their pun
ishment because they have abandoned
the sound democratic policy of eXpan-
sion, and have stupidity allowed them
selves to be put in position which
no American party has ever occupied
without ruin-the position of encour-
agement to armed resistance to the
national government. Mr.. Mckinley
has earned defeat by his own misman-
but his opponents are fore
ing victory upon him. Next week we
shall see what they have accomplish

tor went off to the capitol, called the
free coinage senators about him in the
cloak room, exhibited the check and
extolled Mclean as patriot. A couple
of weeks later Harris and Mclean
again met, and Mclean gave the sena-
tor another check for $1,000 to help
spread free coinage literature. Harris
again extolled John to his free coinage
colleagues.
A couple of weeks later John ap-
peared in the room of the committee
on the District of Columbia, and his
face looked long and his voice was
sad. He told Senator Harris that be-
cause of his advocacy of free coinage
some Of the rich people of Washington
were trying to ruin him by destroying
property values in which he was in
tcrested. Harris became properly in
dignant. Mclean complained the
house had passed bill that would
cripple the gas company. He was the
largest owner, and the measure was
aimed at him. The bill was now be-
lOTC I1dITlS COlIlllIlCCs anu hC WhhbCu
to explain about it. Harris, of course,
was certain that Mclean was victim
Of gold-bug persecution. He swore a
mighty oath that Mclean should be
protected and that the obnoxious bill
should never leave his committee, and
it didn't. After the adjournment of
congress John, at Chamberlain's one
night, was having fun with some pro-
fessional lobbyists. He told how the
gas company for ten years paid $4,000
to prevent gas Legislation at each ses-
sion 6f congress, but that when he
took the matter in hand himself it
only cost the company $1,000. This
explains John RS fondness for free
coinage.
John RS plot against Bryan shows
that he is no more sincerely for free
silver to-day than he was when he
"lobbied" with it to continue the ex-
tortionate profits of the Washington
Gas company.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Some Good Reasons why IL should
be Elected.

Do EiecIeds
To insure the continuance of ma
tional prosperity.
To maintain an honest and staple
currency, in which all men have con-
fidence.
TO retain our sovereignty in the
Philippines, and protect the stars and
stripes from its enemies.
The republican party brought pros
perity to this country, and it alone can
continue it. History proves that pros
perity forsakes the country when the
democratic party is in control of ma
tiOnal affairs.
A vote for the republican party is a
vote for prosperity.
The fear of change in orr financial
policy from the gold standard to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio Of 16 to brought about
n financial panic in 1896. We don't
want n repetition of that panic. A
vote for the republican party will pre-
vent il.
The Philippines came to us accord
ing to the requirements of the consti-
tuition of the United States, by treaty
with Spain, ratified by the senate.
President Mckinley is bound by his
aath of Office to maintain peace, order
and rightful sovereignty in those new
possessions. Aguinaldo, with his war
riors, is trying TO scare the country
out of its constitutional rights, He is
assisted in this seditious work by lead
crs of the democratic party. The re-
publican party refuses TO he intimi-
dated ont of the country's rights. A
vote for the republican ticket this
fall will be an endorsement of the re-
publican patriotic policy.

A Thought Tor Election Day.

After all the oratory Of the cam
paign has expended itself, when the
voter enters the booth TO mark bis
ballot, two facts should control him:
First, to provide well for wife and
children ] must vote to retain prosper
ity. This / shall do by voting the re-
publican ticket.
Second, as an American must vote
to maintain the sovereignty of the
United States over every inch Of terri
tory that belongs to us.
This also can do by voting the re-
publican ticket. Love of home ond
country shall inspire me to do my
duty as an American citizen.

sherman Indorses Nash.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 27, 1899.
Charles Dick, Esq.
My Dear Sir: 1 can hardly express
my solicitation for the election of
Judge Nash as governor of Ohio. He
not only deserves the hearty support
Of every republican for that position
but is specially qualified to perform
the duties of governor. He has been
familiar, as a judge, with the duties
of governor and will discharge them
faithfully. The self-appointed candi-
date, Mr.. Jones, ought not to receive
the votes of republicans who have
shared in the nomination of Judge
Nash. All of us who have assisted in
1t, or are republicans should give to
Judge Nash their hearty support.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.

M'LEAN AND SILVER.
why He First Pretended to Favor
the Movement.


John r. Mclean is the principal
owner of the Washington Gas Light
company. 1t is a great money-maker
and a monopoly. The company charges
S1.50 a thousand feet for gas, and for
years congress has been trying TO re-
duce the price to 81. 1t was consid-
cred necessary for the company to
maintain a costly lobby at each ses-
sion of congress to prevent legislation
A couple of years ago, says the Los
Angeles (Cal.) Times, John took the
lobbying in hand himself. The house
had passed bill reducing the price of
gas to 81 a thousand feet. The bill
was pending in the senate.
One day Mclean met the late Sena-
tor Harris, of Tennessee, on Pennsyl-
yania avenue. Harris was a bluff,
hard-swearing, straightforward, hon
est and simple-minded man. He was
the ranking democrat ON the District
of Columbia committee, the committee
that has jurisdiction on all legislation
relating especially to Washington. Nc
Lean shook hands with the senator
and told him that he was making an
elaborate study of the free coinage
question. and that he regarded it as
the future great issue in American
politics.
"And," said he, "by the way, 1 am
told that the Bimetallic league is do
ing some good work. How are you off
for funds to send out documents?"
Harris told him the league had no
fluids, and its work was consequently
retarded. "Come in here" said Nc
Lean, as they reached a store, "and l
will make a contribution" He gave
Harris a check for $1,000. The Sena-

BACK FROM MANILA.
Mr.. Blair Thinks Very Well Of Our
New Territory.

j. Newell Blair. who several months
ago went to the Philippines as Gov
eminent Embalmer, is home again. He
says. that while he enjoyed himself
thoroughly, from first to last, he has
had enough of it.
Mr.. Blair spent some time in Japan
and in the islands of the inland seas
He was favorably impressed with what
he saw of the Philippines, and is sat
isied that after the war is over there
will be plenty of openings for men of
pluck and small capital. He is inclined
to think, from what he saw, that the
war may drag on for some time yet.
before the bushwhackers are all killed
off or made to quit
Mr.. Blair was on the firing line once
while in the islands, and doesn't care
to duplicate the experience. II got a
twentyfour hours pass he said, "and
went out to the front, and before I had
time to think where I was at the bullets
were whistling around pretty close. I'm

had been, and I did some tall think

then I got out and-I never went back" "
Manila, Mr. Blair said is big place.
He had intended to call on Tom, Dick
and Harry, whom he knew, or to whom
he had letters of Introduction, but he
found it like looking for the proverbial
needle in a haystack. He estimated
that here were about 100000 people in
and around the city, and to find any
particular one, without minute direc-
TONS was too big a job. The streets
of Manila, he said, are as clean as
whistle, which is a good showing for

CENSUS OF IRRIGATION.
Will be Of Great Benefit to Those
Concerned.

A special effort will be made by the
Division of Agriculture of the twelfth
census of the United States to collect
and tabulate important data relating
to irrigation in the arid and semi
humid regions of the United States. A
preliminary schedule has been prepar-
ed and will soon be sent out to obtain
the names Of corporations and individ-
uals owning canals or bitches. This
is one of the essential steps for Sc
curing desired information regarding
the extent and value of the canals and
bitches used for irrigation, and their
sources of water supply.
In the preliminary schedule request
is made for the names of the principal.
canals or bitches in their order down
stream, the bitches to the right (look
ing down stream) being arranged on
the first page of the list, and those
heading to the left on the last page.
Request is also made fer the name and
postoffice address of some person who
can give detailed information concern
ing each ditch.
The principal schedule now in course
of preparation will be mailed to the
addresses thus obtained calling for fur
Their data, which will be supplemented
by detailed statistics gathered by the
census enumerators.
1t should be noted by all interested
in the subject that these various in
quiries of the census office in no way
conflict with, or duplicate the work,
with reference to irrigation which is
being conducted by any other depart
ment of state. The most nearly relat
ed inquiry is that of the geological
survey, which, like that of the census,
is under the more immediate direction
of F. H. Newell, the special agent for
irrigation in the eleventh census and
photographer of the geological survey.
The fact that Mr.. Newell has supervi-
sion of this work in the twelfth cen
sus guarantees it's efficiency and it's
value to the arid and semi humid re-
gions.
1t will be readily apparent that the
volume and value of these statistics
will depend very largely upon the at
tention and interest shown therein by
those engaged In irrigation and it is
earnestly hoped that all to whom the
schedules are addressed WIN appreciate
the importance Of the request and
make prompt and careful reply. In
this way only will it be possible to
make the Information concerning irri-
cation fun and complete.
In order to obtain a full understand
