behalf OF Dreyfus and issues challenge
to Count Esterllazy to meet him on the

DENIES THE SOFT IMPEACHMENT.

In the platform adopted by the Demo-
Gratis of Ohio at their recent conven-
ton they declared against any entang-
ling alliances with foreign powers and
denounced "the secret and vicious alli-
ance now in evidence between England
and the Republican administration. !"
Such declaration as that alarmed the
Republican managers of the Ohio cam
paign, especially as some of the most
influential German Republican papers
of the Buckeye state announced they
would support John R. Mclean for
governor against any candidate repre-
senting an administration which favors
an alliance with England, either openly
or tacitly. In trepidation Chairman
Dick, of the Republican state executive
committee of Ohio, wrote to John Hay,
the Anglo-American secretary of state,
asking him to deny that any alliance
exists or is contemplated between Great
Britain and the United States. OF
course, John Hay, the ex-lninister to
the court OF ST. James, denies it strong
ly, and in a two-column letter filled
with abuse of the Democratic party
says:
"There is no alliance with England
nor with any other power under heaven
except those known and published to
the world, the treaties of ordinary in
ternational friendship for purposes Of
business and commerce. No treaty
other than these exists nor is suggested
on either side; none is in contemplation.
1t has never entered into the mind Of
the president nor of any member of the
government to forsake, under any in
ducement, the wise precept and example
of the fathers which forbade entangling
alliances with European powers"
Now, if what John Hay says is true,
why is it that the warships of England
and the United States fired in unison
on the followers of Mataffa in the Sa-
moan Islands, and that British tars and
Yankee jackies fought side by side as
Comrades in arms?" By that act
alone the Democrats of Ohio are justi-
fed in asserting that "a secret and
vicious alliance is in evidence between
England and the Republican admins
tration," and John Hays indignant de-
NAL cannot convince them to the con-
trary.
Again, why is it that at the interna-
tional conference recently held at The
Hague the representatives of the British
government and OF the Mckinley ad-
ministration stood together unitedly
against all the delegates from other ma
tons for using the barbarous dun dunn
bullet in war? For no other reason
than because England had used it in
Africa. Is not the Mckinley admins
tration itself going to use dynamite bull
lets on the Filipinos?
Deny it as he may, John Hay knows
that an understanding" exists between
the Mckinley administration and the
Salisbury ministry Why did the au-
thor of Little Brooches" recently send
Rear Admiral Howison to Pretoria to
confer with Sir Alfred Miner, the Brit
ish high commissioner, unless it was to
show that the two "Anglo-Saxon" ma
tons would stand together if Germany

it was just the reverse. The Drawn and

rough scuf and the unemployed are
taking their places, and recruiting is
very slow. The government has been

icle as follows: "You ask how l stand
on 'Hannaism and John R. Mclean
My answer is ready and unmistakable.
I am Republican; have always been
and always expect to be; but in this
campaign I am first, last and all the
time for John R. Mclean for governor
OF Ohio. I believe him to be the man
for the hour. His charity to the poor
of this city in years gone by tells a tale
of true nobility that no one can deny.
In addition he is well-equipped, broad
man, and one fitted for the emergency
in state and national politics. Judge
Nash is a good man, but to vote for
him means vote to perpetuate the
corrupt and corrupting agencies Of
Hannaism, which, unless arrested, will
become destroying blight and curse
to this fair republic. So believing, l feel
it my duty to cast my vote for Mclean,
