knows of several COWS which he believes

It was a fine fair and much good to the

suit. The boys have been factioniziug
somewhat in the past two years, and they
thought jackson day good day to swear
off all such f1olishn'ss. Toasts were
drunk and pledges given that che Repub-
licans of Summit would meet united
Democracy when the next election came.
The Akron Sunday World carries an ex-
tended account Of the banquet. Mayor
W. r. Young was toastmaster and To-
tro duced the speakers. The World says
in its account:
Mayor James A. Rice Of Canton was
In troduced to speak on "The Issues of

full and complete endorsement to every

necessary, for If any part of it is omitted
it will be said that we have gone away
from the platform. 1t will also be
necessary to nominate W. J. Bryan, for
II we do not, then we are turning down
the man who stands for this platform.
There will be added clause against the
present policy Of expansion and against
the increase of the standing army. It
will be a fight on the lines, of the cam.
paign of 1896.
Mr.. Rodgers, who had responded to a
toast. suggested that 1t would be appro
pirate to hear frsm John Q. Harmony Of
the Canton News Democrat. That
ge ntleman made a good speech along the
line of his name. He hoped that wher
the party found traitors in the ranks they
would be disposed of instead of humored
and blamed past defeats to a failure t.
adopt this policy.
There was another Canton man presen
earlier in the evening, but when Jacl
Pontius, superintendent of the work
house, WAS called for he could not bC
