PERFECT HARMONY
IN THE CAUCUSES.
Continued from page /.

met at Ais o'clock in the office Of the
board of elections in the market house.
Franco d. Miller of Canton, was made
chairman and w. f. Mag, of Youngs-
town, secretary. 1t did not take the
caucus long to conclude its business,
Everything was transacted in busi-
ness-like manner and in perfect har-
mony. The Stark county delegation
presented the name of Ed. S. Raft for
district committeeman and he was
chosen without opposition, an honor
most worthily bestowed. 1t has been
years since the Stark county people
have had the district committeeman,
and it was conceded to be fine victory
for Mr.. Raft, who is very popular with
the Democracy of the district, but for
the county as well as it gives the larg-
est county in the district what belongs
to it, representation on the state COM
mittee.
For the committee on resolutions.
Smith, of Mahoning, was presented by
Delegate Woolf, of Youngstown. Smith
had taxation fad in his possession and
he desired representation on the COM
mittee on that account. Major Wey-
brecht presented the name of Rhodes
1. Gregory for district representative
on the committee on resolutions. Stark
county's vote was cast as a unit for
Gregory. Mahoning gave Smith her
votes and Columbiana county gave
Gregory 71a and Smith 2R. Gregory
thus won with ease. 1t was the first
test of strength in the Columbiana
county delegation and Indicated that
Mclean would have 61a votes in the
county and Kilbourne 3lA.
Without difficulty Mayor E. H. Moore
was placed on the committee on creden-
tials, George B. Aten, of Columbiana,
was made a vice-president Of the con-
vention, D. D. Kirby, of Salem, was
made a member of the committee on
permanent organization, a new commit
tee, and on rules and order Of business
c. A. Ferguson, Of Columbiana, was
chosen to represent the district. The
meeting had proceeded harmoniously
and with the best of feeling prevailing
when the delegates adjourned, satisfied
with the work of the caucus.

combine. For years past during the
summer he has given ice free to the
poor Of Cincinnati. His donations an
nually to local charities are large. Ev-
cry Christmas he distributes from $1,000
to $4,000 to the poor of Cincinnati.
While Mr.. Mclean has never held
public office, he has been a powerful
factor in politics. Through the Enqui-
rer he started over quarter of centu-
ry ago the cry, Rise up, william" 1t
resulted in the late ex-senator William
Allen being nominatd and elected gov
ernor, the first time the Ohio Democrats
then had elected governor for twenty
years, the Republicans having had an
unbroken gubernatorial succession in
Chase, Dennison, Tod, Brough, Cox,
Hayes and Noyes. Governor Allen was
afterwards endorsed by the Ohio De-
mocracy for president in 1876.
Mr.. Mclean was also leader in the
election of Governor Bishop in 1877, of
Gov. Hoadley in 1888, and of Gov.
Campbell in 1889, these four being the
only Democratic governors elected in
Ohio since 1853
Mr.. Mclean not only brought out the
first winning Democratic candidate fol-
governor in his generation in William
Allen in 1873, but he also furnished the
issue hen in his opposition to a contrac-
ted currency.
In 1885 Mr. Mclean was the Democrat
ic nominee for Senator against Sher-
man. Two years ago Mclean was the
generally recognized candidate of the
Democrats for senator and Senator
Hanna Of the Republicans.
Mr.. Mclean has been prominent al
national as we'll as at local and state
conventions. When Hancock was nom
mated for president at Cincinnati IL
1880, Mclean took a conspicuous part
In 1884 he was one of the Ohio delegate:
at large and chairman of the Ohio dele
cation. He has been one Of the Ohio
delegates at succeeding national Demo
cratic conventions and is still the OhiC
member of the national Democratic
committee At the last Democratic ma
tional convention he was a prominent
candidate for the presidency and de-
clined the nomination for vice-presi
dent.

It tells women some easy things to do

VERDICT EXPECTED.
Thought the End of the Dreyfus
Case Will Be Reached
Soon.
Special to News-Democrat.

Rennes, France, Aug. 31.-The secret
session in the court martial today lasted
two hours. Gen. Deloye reiterated his
belief that Dreyfus could have attained
the information mentioned in the bor-
dereau. Expert artillery men, Ducross
and Hartman denied the possibility Of
Dreyfus obtaining the document in
question. Hartman had testified that a
lecture had been given before the mill
tary school, where 100 officers had as
much opportunity to learn all about it
as Dreyfus. Major Hartman expressed
his belief that the documents mention
ed in the bordereau came from an Off
Ger in the war office.
After a recess the public session was
resumed. Dreyfus looked worn and
distressed after the secret session.
Captain Lebrun-Remaud was the first
witness, and he aroused intense interest
because it was to him that Dreyfus was
alleged to have said, IT gave those doc
uments but only in order to get others
in return" Today the witness explain
ed that what Dreyfus had said was, 'I
am innocent. The ministry knows it.
Du Patty de Clam came over to my cell
few days ago and told me that the
ministry knows it, and that the min
istry is aware that If did deliver the
documents to a foreign power, it was
only in order to get more important
documents in return" Witness said
that he had destroyed the memorandum
of Dreyfus statement on the day that
the revision Of the Dreyfus case was
ordered He declares that after Casa
ignac had quoted it in speech it was a
matter of rhetoric. Incredulous mur-
mers were heard in the court room at
this statement. Dreyfus then said, 81
do not see how an officer could hear such
serious words as you say you heard
from me, without asking an explana-
ton. Your not asking will carry a sig
nifcance which the judges and all hon
est men will perceive. You have trans
formed my words and altered my mean
ing. I never had such thoughts, much
less uttered those words" Dreyfus
created sensation.
| Three officers testified to hearing
Dreyfus' statement to Lebrun- Remaud
Major Forzinetti, Dreyfus' jailer in
Cherche Nizi prison, testified that Drey-
fus had never avowed his guilt He
told of Du Paty de CLAIMS harsh effort
to extort a confession from Dreyfus
Forzinetti was Dreyfus' only friend ir
time of need. The court was profoundlN
moved when Dreyfus with tears in III,
eyes arose and said, "That am her,
today, owe to Major Forzinetti."
Court adjourned. DreYfus counse

against Dreyfus. Verdict expected

While the president is here it is hoped
that he will make arrangements for an

trusts ought to be able to send quite a

win care to come, but there have been
enough trusts fostered by the present
administration to make a showing if
no one comes but the board Of directors.

CAVALRY PRIVATE KILLED.
Rebels Fled, Their Entertainments Being
Shelled by Gunboat-Some
Spanish Leaving.

MANILA, June 29.-General Jara-
millos, who is settling Spain's military
affairs here, received a cable message
from the minister of war at Madrid,
General Polavieja. announcing that the
pay of all soldiers who are in the hands
of the insurgents will be continued
during their captivity. The families of
many of these officers and soldiers are
III Manila, without means of support
here or ON their return to Spain.
The new Spanish consul here, Senior
Luis Marinas, said mis- foremost bust
ness is to secure the release of the pris-
Oners.
The Spaniarls We're fast leaving Ma
Mia. The steamer Isle de Luzon is ex-
pected to sail for Spain soon, taking
several hundred persons, civil and mill
tary officials and their families. The
Spanish commercial men were selling
out and some of the largest interests
here will soon pass into the hands of
English capitalists.
Captain Gates squadron of the Fourth
cavalry embarked for Morong today.
The aunboat Napidan, which accom-
panied the troops, visited The town of
Muntiulupa, on the west shore of the
lake, and found a small body of rebels
entrenched there. The entrenchments
were shelled by the Napidan and when
the rebels began to retreat the cavalry
was landed. The Fiipinos, in firing a
final volley, killed cavalry private.

10000 MEN FOR Otis.
His Force to Be Increased, Said
Secretary Alger.
10000 OF THEM VOLUNTEERS.
fhe Indication Was That Number Would
BE Needed-Otis Reported He Had the
Skeleton Organizations of Two or Three
Volunteer Regiments Formed.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-A definite
decision was reached to continue re-
cruiting men at all the recruiting sta
tions for service i'll the Philippines and
Secretary Alger said when he left the
White House, after conference with
the president, Adjutant General Corbin
and Colonel Bird, assistant quartermas-
ter general i'll charge of transportation,
that General Otis would have 10000
men when the rainy season closed for
resumption of active operations.
Later in the day it was definitely de-
cided TO begin the enlistments for the
volunteer service under the act of the
last congress. The reports to the adju.
tant general, based ON the reports of
the recruiting officers and on close esti-
mates as to the number of soldiers i'll
the Philippines and in each command
in Cuba and Porto Rico, show that the
regular army is up to its full author
lied strength. The additional soldiers
needed must be obtained under that sec
ton of the act of congress authorizing
the enlistment of volunteers.
The only exception will be in the
case of the few enlistments that will
be made from time to time to fill gaps
in the regular army caused by casual
ties and by the expiration of enlist
ments. The officers scattered among
the principal cities of the country who
have been enlisting regulars only will
be instructed Immediately to prepare to
enlist volunteers. The present indica-
tions are that about 10000 men will be
wanted.
The decision to reinforce General
Otis by the end of the rainy season was
interpreted to mean that aggressive
campaigning will cease until the bad
weather ends. Until that time our
operations will probably be confined to
occasional excursions to places in close
vicinity to our lines, where the insur-
gents may have congregated in force.
By remaining quiescent under good
shelter during the rainy season it is
hoped the health of our troops will be
conserved and the danger from climatic
fevers reduced to minimum.
General Otis had cabled the war de.
partment that he had the skeleton or
CARNATIONS of two or three regiments
which it is proposed to raise i'll the
Philippines AT the war department
this was said to mean that General Otis
had the officers for these regiments Sc
lected and that they are ready to be
filed with enlisted men. How many of
these can be secured from the volun-
teer regiments now III the Philippines
was not known.

CALLED The BLUES.

Judge Anderson seems to be very
much annoyed when public attention
is called to the fact that he is dead
locking the appointment of City
Commissioners.
The Judge has repeatedly made a
boast of conditions upon which he
would consent to the appointments,
but whenever the Mayor tried to meet
him half way it was only to find that
the Judge had been bluffing.
The latest bluff was to the effect
that if the Mayor would permit the
Judge to name the Republican Com
missioner, the Judge would let the
Mayor name the Democrat. The
fact is that Judge Anderson stands
now just where he has stood from
the beginning. He is determined
that there shall be no change in the
present Board if the deadlock con-
tinues all summer and all winter.
Judge Anderson insists not only
upon the exclusive right of appoint
ment, but upon the right to have
absolute direct control over the Off
cial acts of the Commissioners after
their appointment. This is carrying
government by Probate Judge too
far. To use a popular expression of
the day the people of Akron
will not do thing to Anderson the
Dictator when he comes before them
at the polls next fall.
