UNION LABOR WILL SUPPORT JOHN
X. MCLEAN.

The toiling masses Of Ohio will give
their support to the man who has al
ways been their friend. John r. Mclean
has never oppressed labor, and the wage
workers and burden-bearers will not
only vote for him, but they will work to
secure his election. The Ohio Labor
News, the organ Of the workingmen,
says of him:
1t is not often that political party
makes choice Of a candidate for the high
office of governor whose life and charac-
ter compel labor paper to support him
in his aspirations. Yet such is the out
come Of the state convention of Ohio
Democrats. They nominated a man at
GAINESVILLE who has been so staunch, so
true, so persistent an so consistent a
friend of the laborers, the toilers, the
burden-bearers, that no newspaper that
makes the least pretention of being de-
voted to the interests of the masses
will dare do anything but support the
candidacy of John r. Mclean. The
people are so earnestly and unanimous
ly for the Democratic candidate, and
that candidate has so often proved him
self deserving of their trust that the
News-despite the fact that by so doing
1t may be charged with being a Demo-
cratic organ-has determined to make a
vigorous effort to place him where it
believes he will be of incalculable help
| to the wageworkers of the state.
John r. Mclean has earned the ad-
miration and respect of every good and
humane citizen of our nation. In the
position occupied by him during the last
25 years he has never once faltered in
what he deems his duty to his employees.
He has not only been just, he has been
kind and generous.
John r. Mclean is such an all
round, good, bright, brainy fellow that
no position within the gift Of the peo-
pie is too good for him.
Especially is he deserving of the sup
port OF union men and labor papers.
We believe that we would be recreant
to the cause of organized labor If we
did not use every effort at our COM
mand to win votes for the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, because we
firmly believe that by so doing we will
be helping along the labor movement

SOLDIERS PASS
THE EXAMINATION.
Final Questions Were Asked by
Captain Frease Sunday.
IN CAPTAIN FISHERS HANDS.
He Will Do whatever Is Necessary at a
Meeting That Will be Held During
the Week. k--Massillon
Company.

A short time ago an examination was
conducted by Capt. Harry Frease for
candidates for non-commissioned off,
GERS for Company c, of this city. At
that examination only eight candidates
were deemed qualified to enter commits
sions, and as this number did not COM
plete the complement of officers another
examination was held Sunday after
noon in the armory. Capt. Harry
Frease, at that time, also did the ex-
amining and eleven candidates entered
questioning mostly referred to the
knowledge of candidates of military ma
neuvers and tactics, the physical ex-
animation having been conducted some
time before. Nineteen thus far have
practically passed the ordeal. The pa
pers will pass thr' ugh the hands of
Captain M. A. Fisher and he is expected
to render report of the necessary ap-
pointments next Friday. Lieutenants
Yost and H. S. Chamberlain were pres
ent during the proceedings on Sunday
afternoon.
Major Taylor, Of the Fourth infantry,
conducted the physical examination of
the enrolled members of the Massillon
company Friday evening. Forty-four
men were examined and only one of
them was rejected on account Of phys
ical disability. The full complement of
81 men has been secured and after their
examination the company will be mus
tered in by the regular mastering officer.
w. Clark, who assisted in forming the
new company, will probably be elected
captain. The Massillon company, it is
understood, will also go to New York
to participate in the Dewey reception.

THE BOYS OF TIE TENTH.

List to the bells a ringing, the whistles
how they blow;
Behold the people hurrying to and fro;
While a sweet breeze of patriotism fills
the air,
And patriotic anthems do their share.
For who's all this clamor? For who

Tis for the heroes Of Manila going home.
Their battles now are over, their vic
tories are won;
Hon'rs await them, their duty they
have done.
After grim wars keen suffering, It is
but due
That honors be paid to the boys in blue.
All hail! to the Tenth Pennsylvania

Who fought 80 brave. Smile now We

The dear ones at home, their bosoms

Anxiously await the return of their

Many hearts though in silence will

For the missing boys whom grim war

General Isaac r. Sherwood, whom all
Democrats Of Stark county have learn
ed to love and respect, and whom they
would delight to see honored with the
highest office within the gift of the peo-
pie of this great state, is one Of the
greatest and grandest old Democrats
in Ohio. General Sherwood aspired to
the high office of governor, but it was
the will of the GAINESVILLE convention
that another lead the people of the state
in their campaign against Mark Hanna
vention General Sherwood cheerfully
yields. He is too great a man and too
grand a Democrat and patriot to do
anything else. He was called before the
convention and said:
Gentlemen: I deem it a very high
honor to have been defeated in the
greatest Democratic convention ever
held in Ohio. daughter and cheers.)
l say to you that your platform is of

An eastern newspaper submits the
following problem to the American tax
payers, the solution of which is not easy:
If it takes 10000 men seven months
and $1OO,000,000 to take possession of
300 square miles of the island of Luzon,
how many men, how many months and
how much money will it require to
take and hold the wholeisland, consist
ing of $1,000 square miles, for all time.
And after that calculation has been
made there is a chance to figure as to
the whole area of the Philippine islands,
of about 115,000 square miles.

KILBOURNE's SPEECH
After McLean's Nomination-He Cheer
fully Bowed to the VIII of the
People-The Cause Greater
Than ANY Man.


After Mr.. Mclean addressed the
state convention, subsequent to his
nomination, Col Kilbourne was called
for. He said:
Gentlemen of the Convention and
Fellow Democrats: thank you for this
cordial greeting. While 1 did not have
friends enough at this convention to
win, still some of you were for me. 1t
is hardly to be expected that 1 will say
that your nominee was my first choice.
(Laughter)
But l say to you without any re-
servation that 1 cheerfully bow to the
will Of the majority. 1 will give the
splendid platform you have adopted
and the ticket you will nominate here
today my earnest and loyal support.
(Applause.) Fellow Democrats, the
cause is greater than the personality
of any man. This one or that one may
head our ticket, but the principles of
our party are above all. 1 have sup
ported these principles in all of my
years of manhood and 1 shall support
them as long as live.
EVERY year 1t has been clear to my
mind that they best conserve the in
terests of the laboring classes, and
therefore the best interests of the
country. But while have honestly as
pired to the great honors which Demo-
cracy can confer upon the individual 1
have always been contented-and never
more contented than today-to serve in
the ranks where the only reward is a
consciousness Of duty well performed.
Before closing, my friends, wish to
assure the gentlemen who so Loyalty
supported me that their efforts shall
never be forgotten, and to thank them
from the bottom Of my heart. (Cheers
and applause.)

columbus Record.)

For full year there has been a per-
sistent attempt to conceal the presi-
dents policy" toward the people of the
Philippine islands. The president has
studiously maintained an attitude that
would admit of any construction.
But at Ocean Grove, last Friday the
president whether by design or acci-
dent cannot be determined) in speech
said:
II believe there is more love for our
country; that more people love the flag,
than ever before.
wherever the flag is raised it stands
for no despotism and oppression, but
for liberty, opportunity and humanity;
and what that flag has done for us, we
want it to do for all people and all lands
which, Ivy the fortunes of war, have
come within it's jurisdiction. That flag
does not mean one thing in the United
States and another in Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
There had been some doubt in some
quarters respecting the policy of the
government in the Philippines. 1 see
no harm in stating 1t in this presence.
Peace first, then with charity for all,
establish government of law and order
protecting life and property and occupa-
ton for the well being Of the people who
will participate in it under the Stars
and Stripes"
If there is any honest meaning in
this silly twaddle about 1.-The flag" it
L., lat 90
is to subdue the Philippine patriots
crush their aspirations for freedom and
over their conquered territory raise the
flag of our country forever.
There has been some doubt in some
quarters respecting the policy of the
government in the Philippines" says
the president. Whose conduct has
created that doubt? There never
should have been a doubt. The govern
ment has had no policy. Congress alone
has the right to determine the policy or
principle of our government in regard
to the Philippines. The president has
usurped the function of congress, and
'he is the state"
II see no harm in stating in this pres
ence, the policy of this government"
says the president. Peace first then
with charity for all under the
Stars and Stripes" Charity goes with
musket and cannon. Protection to
life and property in the Philippines"
consists according to the president, in
killing all who desire to govern them
selves.
How is the president able to announce
the policy of the government towards
the people Of the Philippines? He is
not the government. His duty is mere
iy to carry out the policy of congress.
But the fact is President Mckinley, at
the dictation of franchise and trust
magnates, is trying to establish a policy
that violates the sense of justice in
every thoughtful American breast. His
policy is the shame and misfortune of
our country, and constitutes the great
est menace to the principles Of our
government that have arisen in all
our history. 1t is far more dangerous
for the president to override or disre-
gard the laws, than for poor unhappy
and half demented anarchists to do So
Yet we hear good deal in administra-
ton newspapers about anarchists. The
most dangerous anarchist in America
today are the officials in high places
who refuse to be governed by law.

GOOD ADVICE.

Oh how long will it be before
the proud fathers and mothers of
the snub-nosed, freckled-faced
youngsters of our land will cease
from their ambition to make pro-
fessional men out of their young
sters, and instead, urge them to
become useful, practical laboring
men? The fact that every male
child in the United States may
become president has done more
towards running the lives of many
thar any other one thing, because
the foolish parents insist upon fit
ting them for that high position
rather than for the lower one they
are destined to fill. The ranks of
the professions are now so full
that it is almost impossible for
one in ten to succeed; while skill
ed labor is always in demand and
controls good wages. Still the
rush of students to the. universe
ties to study law, goes on and it is
dollars to doughnuts that half of
the unfortunate babies that have
been christened Dewey in the past
year are told fifty times a day that
"Muzzer's little baby boy is doin'
to be president some day, so he is. -

The tremendous cost of the
Philippine war is just beginning
to dawn upon the American peo-
pie. The appropriation for the
war department. is $50, 000,O for
the current year, but the expen-
diture for military purposes dur
ing the month of July has been
$17, 100000. At this rate the ex-
penditures for the year will
amout to 1920, 100000, leaving a
deficit of $14O,0OO,OOO. The reg
ulsr appropriation will be ex-
hausted by the time congress con-
venes and must be asked to make
good the appalling deficiency that
will be found to exist. Then, in
deed, will the country get a reali-
cation of the frightful cost of
the iniquitous war being waged
against the Fillpinos.
