STARK COUNTY BAR ACTS.
A Petition Reaches Washington Satur-
day Urging His Appointment.
THE CHANCES LOOK DUBIOUS
On Account of q Special From Washington
But It Is Thought They VIII Inn
prove when the Stark County
Bar Petition Gets to
the President.

Judge George e. Baldwin, the brill
liant Canton attorney, is being groom
ed by his friends for the position Of
associate justice of the supreme court
OF the District Of Columbia, which was
recently made vacant by the resigna-
tion of Judge Cox. Personal letters in
Judge Baldwin's behalf have been sent
by the score to President Mckinley and
Friday morning petition signed by
every member of the Stark county bar
was mailed to Washington. A Cleve-
land Leader correspondent writes the
following to his paper in regard to the
appointment of associate justice:
"The chances today seem to be de-
cidedly against an Ohio man being
selected to succeed Judge Cox on the
District OF Columbia supreme bench.
Several Buckeye men are applicants
for the place, but the President, who
fills the vacancy, stated this
morning to delegation Of
the District Bar association
that he would give the position TO a
Washington attorney, provided q can
didate is agreed on by the bar. While
lawyers usually experience difficulty
in agreeing, it is believed harmony
may be brought about in making rec
ommendation in the present case.
The petition of the Stark county bar
reached Washington Saturday morn
ing, and it is hoped by Judge Baldwin's
numerous friends that the petition
signed by President McKinley's legal
brethren shall give at least one Ohio
man better chance than the Wash
ington correspondent seems to attrib-
ute to Buckeye individuals.

MADE CHECKS
For the Amounts Due from the
Dow Tax to Several
Townships.

Auditor Reed, Friday morning, made
checks payable to the trustees OF jack
son, Tuscarawas, Nimishillen and Can.
ton townships for the receipts from the
Dow liquor tax collected for the year
1898. On account of Legislative action
taken last year it became necessary to
pay two and one-half tenths of the
amount collected under the Dow law
into the poor fund of each township In
which there is no police fund The
apportionment for 1898 included all
townships but those named, hence it
became the duty OF the auditor to paw
the amounts to which the townships
were entitled. The townships were
made richer in the following amounts:
Jackson, 1852 As; Tuscarawas, 1888. .OS;
Nimishillen $S5; Canton, S261, ,63.

Detroit, July 8.-Governor Pingree,
in an interview today, attacked the SUI
preme court for its decision declaring
unconstitutional his law to empower
the city of Detroit to own its street
railways.
81 can stand it If the rest of them
can, said the governor. "It doesn't
hurt me bit. It's the people OF this
city and this state that are hurt, and
it's the G.. o. P. that will have to stand
for it, and they will have to suffer.
The G. o. P. will hear from it, you bet.
AS far as l am concerned, the more
such decisions they hand down the
more it will help me. That's Re-
publican court, mind you
all five of them Republicans.
This decision simply makes the street
railway people the kings of the earth
They have got a franchise now that's
perpetual, and they have got it from
the Supreme Court. They can run
their roads till kingdom come and the
city can't stop them or do anything else
with them. I'd bet little something
that within month they will raise the
fare to a straight five cents, with less
transfers; for what does the company
care now for the city or the council ?
When its present franchise runs out 1t
will simply go on running the roads
without any franchise forever, for un-
der this decision the city can't buy the
roads or run them or do anything else
with them. "Oh, they are thrifty,
these Judges They worked
and lobbied to get their terms
extended, and they got 1t. Then they
worked and lobbied to get their salary
raised, and they got that. Now just this
last winter they lobbied to get their
stenographers' salary raised, and got
that. There wasn't any need of the
raise, and l ought to have vetoed the
bill. They are about as good lobbyists
as we have got down there. The deci-
sion is worth millions to Tom Johnson
and lot of corporations. 1t gives the
corporations just the kind of monopoly
they want and an everlasting grip on
the people. But they will hear from it.
Just wait till get out on the stump
and begin telling the people about it.
That's what will do, you can depend
onthat. l will preach these things
from the stump till they will think
something's after them"

it. No other man in the state is enti-
tied to it more than be is, and the con-
vention will put him at the head Of the

me tonight that he wanted the nomina-

"Does he think he can win?"
"Nobody else could win If he fails"
was Mr.. Schwabs answer.
Colonel Ike Hill, one of the Demo-

that arrangements are practically con-

colonel's way of putting it, "and John
