1t is OF the greatest Importance that

The Next Mayor.
Arthur Barnes was the next speaker,
and he defined his policy as follows:

contrary, l deny emphatically that l
have made any promises or pledges to !
any one in the hope of gaining his
vote; l will go into Office without a
string of any kind attached to me- 1t |
Will be my object to further the inter |
ests OF the laboring man. I propose
that each municipal ward shall be fair= |

Judge Timmony's Address.
Judge Timmony wound up the even

acteristic vigorous addresses. He scored
the spellbinders, Hannaites and others
of the ilk that toll not, neither do they
spin, but yet are arrayed in purple and
fine linen. He put the trusts on the
rack, and then got after Teddy Roose-

innings with the administration for
permitting the Ohio Republican COM
