THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

The reports from the Ohio campaign
continue to show a drift of public senti-
ment toward the Democratic ticket,
while the indications of Republican dis
tress and agitation are becoming more
and more marked as the days slip by.
And Republican fear Of the result is
not wholly the result of Demo-
cratic activity and earnestness, al
though that Of itself would be enough
to worry the administration party, but
is very largely due to the evil
dent purpose of the Anti-Hanna Re
publicans, lead by such men as Cover
nor Bushnell, McKisson, of Cleye-
land and Charles l.. Kurtz, to
stick keen and long knife into Judge
Nash and those upon the ticket with
him. This purpose and intent is evil
denced in many ways and from many
different quarters of the State. and so
great is the volume of evidence that
there can be no doubt of the fact. This
Nash or the ticket in general, but of
hatred for Hanna and determination
to teach that boss a wholesome and
needed lesson, even though it lead to
Republican defeat in the Presidents
own State on the eve of Presidential
contest That Hanna and his lieuten-
ants realize the gravity of the situation
there is not the slightest doubt. The
frantic appeals to officeholders for
funds, the rushing of speakers into the
State, Hanna's conferences at Wash
ington, and many other things suffi-
GENTLY indicate the true state of af-
fairs.
Meanwhile, the Democracy, under the
leadership of John Mclean is putting
up a red hot and aggressive fight, and
will continue it until the polls close.
The Ohio Democracy is entitled to the
aid and encouragement of the party
everywhere, and will have it. The
first skirmish before the battle of 1900
is on.

A SIGNIFICANT FACT.

The Republican County Executive
Committee of Fayette county has en-
dorsed the action OF Delegate Hapton-
stall, of that county, in his refusal to
vote for Hon. N. B. Scott for United
States Senator, and also approves DR..
Haptonstall's action in signing the
Democratic protest against Mr.. Scott's
being given the seat to which he lays
claim.
This is very significant, and shows
that among Republicans in the lower
portion of the State at least, there is a
very considerable opposition to Mr..
Scott's claim of election.
We shall probably hear more of the
same sort of news before the assembling
of Congress, now that the ice has
been broken by Republicans themselves
in an effective fashion.

IF DEWEY HAD STAYED.

New York Journal
When Admiral Dewey was in control of
the situation in the Philippines he ex-
pressed the opinion that 5,000 men would
be all we would need to maintain our au-
thority in the islands. And if he had re-
manned in authority we should have had
no occasion for any more. The Filipinos
admired and trusted him. They Gid what
ever he tod them to do. AS long as ne
represented our government in taeir eyes
there was perfect peace.
Now we are sending $1,000 men to the
Philippines, and we do not know that that
will be enough. BY simple computation
we see the administration considered it
worth 5000 men to exchange Dewey for
Otis.
The revenues of the government are in
creasing so handsomely that if ii were not
for the drain OF the needless war in the
Philippines, incurred through the incom-
petence of a "Iussy Old woman" we should
be laying aside such a surplus every mon. n
as would enable US to resume the almost
forgotten practice of paying off the nation
al debt. That debt is nearly twice as
large now as it was six years ago, but
few years of peace and prosperity would
dispose OF it.
General Otis has cost us 45 900 men and
about $15.000,000 a month. The naval esti-
mate for the coming year are three times
as large as they were few years ago, and
the increase is largely due to the demands
of the Philippine service. We expect to
keep fleet of fifty vessels on blockade
duty for an indefinite time, and that costs
as much as it cost TO maintain our whole
navy not long ago.
Admiral Dewey has said that he is sub
ject to fits of seasickness The nausea
must be especially marked when he thinks
of the muddle into which the country has
been drawn by the neglect of his advice.

Mr.. BRYAN AT HIS BEST.
New York World.

New York World.
In defending American principles and
denouncing the wrong, the hypocrisy and
the danger of McKinley's pinchbeck i'm
perialsm Mr.. Bryan is at his best. No
the splendid eloquence, the biting irony.
the bHstering invective and the pitiess
logic of Mr.. Bryan's speeches on this sub
ject.
At Keokuk he swept away the whole
defense of Mckinley's war in the Philip
pines with this single sentence:
Must we keep these islands because
Dewey sank a Spanish fleet? Schley sank
one, and we promise to free Cuba"
To the Chadbandish cant that the Han
na-McKinley purpose in the Philippines
is to elevate and improve the inhabitants
Mr. Bryan scornfully replied:
Republicans give three reasons for inn
perialism: Money in it, God in it and we're
in it. When | find man who is trampling
the rights of the people here / don't be-
Heve he is going across the ocean to be
good
Speaking on this question Mr.. Bryan
carries the people with him. What a pity
we could not have had a straight vote on
this square issue! But no-the voters in
these Western States are again called upon
for the sixth time to choose between an
honest and a dishonest dollar. The fatal
fallacy of Is to 1 obtrudes itself, DETECTING
and diverging tens of thousands of votes
perialsm, McKinleyism and monopoly.

GARRISON ON TRUSTS.

Among the many wise sayings of
Ralph Waldo Emerson we know of none
better calculated to instruct the pre-
sent generation than the one quoted in
the letter of William Lloyd Garrison,
which we print in this issue. Mr. EN-
erson says: THE basis of political
economy is non-interference. :
Do not legislate. NEEDLE, and you
snap the sinews of your sumptuary
laws. Give no bounties; make equal
laws. The level of the sea is not more
surely kept, than is the equilibrium of
value in society, by the law of demand
and supply; artifice or legislation pun
ishes itself by reactions, gluts, and
bankruptcies.
If our legislators and Congressman
would follow this advice we would
hear but little about trusts for we
would have to deal with only a few
such harmless combinations as now ex-
list in free-trade England. Mr.. Garrison
says that lin the coming presidential
struggle both parties will make large
professions Of enmity to trusts. both

WHAT A CHANGE.

AS one contemplates the Republican
party of the present day one cannot help
rejecting on the differences a few brief
year have brought about, both as to
leaders and policies For example,
compare such men as Seward. Chase.
Sumner, the elder Cameron. Morton,
Garfield, Blaine, Conkling, and the
others of those great and broad-minded
statesmen with Tom Plat, Mark Han
ma, Quay, our own Elkins, Alger, Ted
dy Roosevelt and the rest of the
talent now directing public affairs,
and incidentally the course of empire.
The comparison is very striking one.

The industrious New York official
has several methods of making lit
tie money on the side, and one of them
was we'll illustrated the other day at
the Sheriff's sale of the fixtures of the
well known Richter cafe. Deputy
sheriffs and their friends captured the
whole outfit, valued at many thousand
of dollars, for song, and no outsider
had a ghost of a show. The gas fix
lures, for instance, cost $500, and were
good as new. When they were put up
the auctioneer gravely announced there
was mortgage on them, and that a
law suit would probably result. The
lot was knocked down to a deputy for
IS, and as he drew his check in pay
ment he remarked that there was no
mortgage except in the auctioneer's
mind. 1t was snap for 'the boys"
but little rough on the creditors.

1t is reported that Rev. L. H. Jor-
don, who was allowed to withdraw by
the recent NJ. E. Conference at Par
kersburg from the Methodist ministry
under charges, has left the State TO
avoid prosecution.
The nature of the charges has leaked
out, and their adherence is said to
prevent their explanation in print.
They are said to be similar to those
which led to the disgrace of Oscar
