Then, with a clean slate the Ma
chine can begin the turning down
process over again. The dividend
declared is very small, but the cred
itors seem to be both willing and
anxious to settle for trifiing pof-
centage.
Now let the brass bands play anu
the red fire burn.
srocpsuuoN to Grand Marshal
A.ro,, wagoner-keep your eye on a
oertain candidate named Nash; he
.lnight get lost in the crowd and be
forgotten.
ToDAY's weather forecast issued
by Uncle Sam is unkind enough to
predict that it will rain tomorrow
regardless of Mr.. Hanna's campaign
opening. One would imagine that the
great statesman who lately claimed
to be in special league with Prov
ideuce in the harvest field, would cul-
tivate more intimate acquaintance
with the Weather department.
EVERY Republican celebrity to be
present at the campaign opening
tomorrow, from Mark Hanna down,
will take credit unto himself for
drawing the immense crowd. The
real credit, however, according to
Grand Marshal Wagner, belongs to
Governor Roosevelt, whose only
equal in the Republican party as a
drawing card is Senator Foraker.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it,
Uncle Mark.
The local Hanna organ. which has
a habit of quibbling about small
things in politics as if it were too
stupid to discuss issues of great i'm
port, concludes that the Hon. John
r. Mclean ought not to be elected
Governor of Ohio because his mid
die name is Roll. Here then is a
overtax the mental capacity of the
nominal editor or any of his CO.
workers in the Hanna editorial
bureau:-'Defeat John R. Mclean
for Governor because his middle
name is Roll" Every other mean
thing that the small fry Hanna edi-
tors have said about Candidate Nc
Lean has vanished into thin air, but
the proof for their latest terrible dis
covery that his middle name is Roll
Is down in black and white. From
now until the polls close the favorite
hymn of the Hanna praise singers
will be ''Roll, Jordan, Roll There
seems nothing left for Mr..
Mclean to do but take to cover. The
Hanna pack is hot on the trail OF a
fresh scent.

SCALING DEBTS.

In the campaign of 1895 the Repub-
licans were in holy horror lest If Mr..
Bryan were elected the people wouio
have SO much money that they would
scale down their debts by one-half or
more.
AS in a good many other things
they are now engaged in doing the
very things they cried out against
three years ago. Right here at home
they are trying to scale debts down
to a pitiful fraction of their face
value. These,-be itremembered, are
political debts and some Of them are
of very long standing. Tomorrow's
big meeting is TO perform the func-
ton of a political clearing house.
The account, when stated, Will

The game that was played at Day
ton on Aug. 20, and which was
thrown out by President Power, was
done so under the national agree

other than scheduled game can
be played during the playing season.
AS ten schedule games had been
played at Dayton between the
two clubs the last game could not
have been scheduled for that city,
and, consequently, Mr.. Power could
not do otherwise than throw it out.
Mansfield has been a long time IN
making its protest. AT the time the
game was played Mansfield had no

A Critics Evasion.

It is risky to give ones honest opin ion about mans horse or dog, a house designed by himself or a picture which he values highly. He who gives the opinion stands on a slippery place, and should the judgment be unfavorable he will slide far from the mans esteem.
 Fuseli, the eccentric artist and pro- lessor of the Royal academy, was invit, ed by a nobleman to see a painting of which he was the proud owner. Fuseli went, taking pupil with him. The painting was shown by the nobleman himself. The artist examined it and ex- claimed. Extraordinary The noble man, greatly pleased at the ejaculation, lauded the picture to the skies, pointed out its beauties, and Fuseli cried: ''Ex- traordinaryl Extraordinary

MEMORIAL DAY ORDER.

COMRADES The season of the year re- minds US again of a somewhat sad, yet pleasant duty, the sadness of which is. enhanced because the number of graves to be decorated is annually increased, while the number of those who report for duty is proportionately decreased. Still,s with 8 brave and loyal heart, though in many cases of necessity with a slow step, let us carry as many and as beautiful flow CTS as possible with our flags, emblems of all that we as patriots hold most dear, and place them on graves of those who sacrificed or offered their lives that the republic might live.
 And let our fellow citizens of all classes and all ages be cordially invited to join in such observance of memorial day as will deepen and increase patriotic feeling, and make it more sure ''that government of the people and by the people and for the people, shall not perish rom the earth.
 Therefore, the following program will be carried out Winter Post, Mo- A, will leave G. A. R. hall May 30th, at 6 30 a. m. by buses to decorate the graves, visiting the cemeteries outside of the bor- ough at the following hours: Catholic at o'clock, West Stafford at 8, Hillside at 9.3O, Stafford Street at 11.3O. Will leave G. A. R. hall at p. m. for Stafford Springs cemetery, where there will be an address by Rev. J. s. Wadsworth. Me- morial sermon will be delivered by Rev. E. w.
