Yesterday the Belmont committees

Kinley's famous declaration that he
would rather open the mills and mines
and factories to the working men Of
America, than open the mlnts Of Amer
lea to the silver Of the world. In the
language OF the multitude OF steadily
employed workmen now this was "a
warm one on the solar pleXls' OF the
advocates Of change in the adminis-
tration Of the AFFAIRS OF Ohio and the
nation, There are no idle men now to
prey upon with the sophistries Of amb'-
tious SPECTATORS. None Of the grand
army OF workers throughout the Ohio
valley believe in swapping horses
while crossing the stream" Times are
good enough now for them. They want
no change and no disturbance OF pres
ent conditions, and every one OF them
realizes that Mclean victory in Ohio
this fall would be interpreted as a slap
at Mckinley. But Ohio is sound on this
| score and the old sixteenth district and
all the state will do their share toward
the splendid victory Of next November.

ORDINANCE BUREAU
Hauled Over tho Goals by Major Gem
eraI Wesley Merritt.


WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 1S.-The
annual report Of Major General Wesley
Merritt, commanding the department of
the east, headquarters at Governors
Island, New York. was made public at
the United States war department to-
day. The report is a strong arraign-
ment Of the whole situation in the artil-
iery branch of the service being partIc-
ularly directed against the ordnance
bureau and incidentally the quarter
master department. the latter for fail
ure to furnish what General Merritt
considers proper quarters at artillery
posts.
General Merritt says that the system
on which the artillery is organized Is
wrong in that the artillery man who Is
held responsible for the work he has to
do with his guns, has no voice In the
making or selection Of them, this being
left entirely to the ordnance bureau.
But he adds that since the engineer de-
partment in the same Independent way
furnishes the Artilleryman with his
emplacements and there has been no
fault to find with this portion Of the
equipment, there must be something
more than the mere system TO blame for
the unsatisfactory condition of Affairs.

ANOTHER FIZZLE

NEW YORK, oct. 1S.-The winds
ASLEEP in their caverns and a coverlet
Of white fog drawn over the bosom Of
the drowsy ocean to-day heightened the
unprecedented record OF flukes in the

yachts did not leave their anchornges
inside Sandy Hook. It was. useless to
make another attempt in such weather.
So at the hour set for the start the re-
gattn committee boat pOked out to sea
through the dense bank Of vapor and
announced to the group Of vessels as
sembled about the llghtship the same
monotonous story that there would be
no race to-day. Everybody Is thorough
~ disguised. The patience Of the pub.
lie Is almost exhausted, From 10000
people who went out on the irst day
the crowds have dwindled until 1t Is
