sons very plausible argument. also,

dustrial depression brought on by
democratic free trade. that free coin.
age of silver was the only panacea for
the then existing conditions; that all
that was needed was more money, and
that silver was the only kind of money
that wonld bring prosperity. The gold
standard, under the beneficent effects
of the republican policy of protec.
tion TO home industries. has done more
to restore prosperity than was ever
claimed, even by the free silver dream,

McL."an the platform.

Mclean decided this year to nam,
himself for governor. There was \
good deal of protest before the con.
vention. but nobody who was familiar
with the situation expected it to avail
He had a majority of one vote and a
half on the first ballot, but he conld
have had good deal more had he not
decided to let n lot of delegates whom
he owned vote for other candidates
His personal manager, we are told,
named in advance from list which he
held in his hand, the vote of every del
egate in the convention. and when the
result was annonned he had made a
mistake of only one vote.
John r. Mclean is one of the worst
men in American politics. He owns q
newspaper which he runs to make
money and serve his political ambi.
ton. He has always been the bitter
foe of civil service reform and of every
other good cause. the earnest promo
ter of newspaper sensationalism and
political demagogy. The influence Of
the Cincinnati Inquirer under his con.
troll during the past quarter of cen.
fury has been curse to the city
where It is published and to the wide
region through which it circulntes.
1t is difficult to treat seriously tn,
platform upon which such candidate
stands, because he is himself the plat
form.-N. Y. Evening Post.
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1899-1900, 1899-09-20

len o. Myers, who for years was one
OF McLean's trusted lieutenants, in
his book. "Bosses and Boodle," de
clares that Mr.. Mclean is always will
ing to pay the price when the goods
are delivered and that he is never close
in matters of money, if he gets value
received.
In addition to what Mr.. Mclean per.
sonallv puts into the campaign, and
there is no question but what it will
be very large sum, there is another
element which can he depended upon
to pour a barrel of money into Ohio
in support of the Mclean candidacy.
The strong declaration in the plat
form in favor of free silver at 1G TO 1
and the "demand" for the renomina-
tion of Bryan makes the campaign Of
peculiar Importance to the silver
trust.
Already from the west comes the as
surance that the silver trust will put
in gigantic sum in a desperate eff
fort to corrupt the voters of Ohio and
secure the election of Mr. Mclean.
The exact amount which viii be con-
tributed by this great combination OF
silver producers cannot be stated with
defniteness at this time. 1t is believed
that it will not be less than $29O,0OO.
The campaign fund of the demo-
cratic party in Ohio this year prom
ises to he the most tremendous cor
ruption fund ever used in the state.
There is to be an orgie of corrup-
tion. and if it can secure the election
OF Mr.. Mclean he will be elected.
Trusted liemtenants from the Mclean
headquarters are already travelling the
state offering large sums for the voices
and influence of labor leaders in Ohio
to secure their support for Mclean
against Jones or Nash. Similar meth
DDS are in use in the hope of capturing
pnrt of the colored vote of the state.
In other directions the same policy is
already being carried out.
The people OF Ohio have a serious
question to answer this fall. The is
sues at stake are Of the greatest i'm
portance, but probably none of them
are of greater moment than the grave
question whether the word is to go
out over the nation that Ohio is a state
whose election can be bought and
whose voters are so blind to the bless
ings of prosperity which a republi-
can administration has produced that
they are willing to take step back
ward purely for mercenary motives.
The. republican managers do not be-
lieve the electorate of the state can
be thus corrupted. The attempt only
needs to be exposed to bring its own
condemnation from the voters of Ohio,
and TO rally every honest man, what
ever his party affiliations, against the
outrageous attempt of Mr.. Mclean
and the silver trust to buy UP the
state.

FOR CORRUPTION.
Immense Sums Ready to be Used
in an Unlawful Manner.
The Democratic Boss and the silver
Trust Join Hands TO Capture Ohio
by the Unprecedented Use
Of Money.

Everyone familiar with the infiu-
ences behind the scenes at the demo-
cratic state convention at GAINESVILLE
appreciates the part which money
played in bringing about the nomina-
ton of John X. Mclean for governor.
So patent was it that even that old
shellbark, Judge A. w. Patrick, who
was afterward nominated for lieuten-
mt governor by the Mclean forces as
sop TO the disappointment of large
class of democrats, practically charged
corruption on the part of thr Me-
lean managers when he declared if
Col. Kilbourne secured the nomination
it would not be by the votes of
bought mp delegates"
From responsible authority comes
the report that Mr.. Mclean said pri-
vately before leaving Washington that
he would put $5O0,OO0 into the cam
paign in Ohio this year if he were
nominated for governor.
Whether this is correct or not it is
certainly true that money has already
begun to flow with the greatest liber-
ality. a stream of golden grease" is
issning from the Mclean headquar-
tiers.
As Mr.. Mclean is reputed TO be
worth S1j,000000 such n tremendous
campaign fund as is reported is not
beyond the limits of probability. Al

The free silver democrats realize
thnt reputation of the 16 to / fall
lacy means death to Organism. Just
why they cling with grim death to
that long since exploded folly is in
comprehensive, but perversity is
born of prejudice. and prejudice seems
to be the mainstay of the free silver
fad. The Bryanitcs have watched with
Jealousy the rise of McLean's presi-
dental aspirations and they have de-
termined to place all the stumbling
blocks possible in the way. For that
reason they forced the GAINESVILLE CON
yention TO make free silver the leading
plank in the platform.
There is 10 equivocation in that
plank. II is an ultra, out-and-out dec
laraton for free silver Here are the
exact words:
"We heartily reaffirm the entire Chi
cago platform, and we emphatically
emphasize the financial plank therein.
and continue to demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold
at ratio of 1G to !. independent of
all other nations of the world"
The advocates of free silver must
certainly know they are following a
forlorn hope. Every argument that
has been advanced in favor of it has
heen disproven. The favorite theory
of the 1G to 1 shouters, that silver and
wheat go hand in hand u1d are CON
trolled by an immutahle law of SYM
pathy, has been utterly exploded. The
price of silver has fallen continuously,
while the price of wheat has advanc-
cd under the republican policy of
sound money and protection The ar
gument, too, that wages ar, relatively
low when silver is on the Ghcline, has
been clearly refuted. In the last two
years there has been a general in

JOHN C. HUB1NcER
Remarkable Career of a Well-KnoWh
Western Capitalist, Manufact-
urer and PhiInnthrOpIAt.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John C. Hubinger, of Keo,
kuk, Ia, reigns without peer. As
a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap.
italist and as a philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
fitancial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but Al years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made

discovery, which he considers the
crowning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade
mark.) He is planning to distribute
millions Of packages of this starch to
the housewives OF America, at a merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-
lay. Thus, for but cents two large
10c packages Of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent
Shakespearean views printed in 12
beautiful colors, or a Twentieth Cen

Mr.. Hubinger's family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children, is the

wolves, and while fond of promoting
great enterprises, he is still fonder of
