HAR RM0NIZiNG.

Hon. Chas. l.. kurtZ announces
that his fight with Hanna and Han
naism1 will be TO the death. In his
latest interview KurtZ says:
"Pinned to the presidents coat
tail. Hanna measures with arrogance
the views of individuals or elements
of the party toward himself, as an
tagonistic to Mckinley, whereas
there is no thoughton the part Of any
Republican in the state of opposing
either the nomination or the election
of President Mckinley for Il second
term.
"Hanna's craven retreat behind
the skirts of Mex inley coat is but an
evidence of his desperation. Only in
this way does he hope to bolster up a
failing cause, and hide his own con-
scious and growing weakness with
the people,
Every day brings some new evi-
dence such as this of the restoration
of harmony in the Republican camp.
The approaching convention ought
to be a genuine love feast.

DIRECTOR KENDALL
Considers the Sending of Delegates
Useless Expense.

Poor Director Kendall believes the
Council is making IA useless expense
to the city in sending representatives
to the State conferences of societies
of charity and correction He said it
would be wrong to charge the eXpen-
diture for this purpose to his depart
ment. The Director saps the affairs
of the poor relief department have
been administered efficiently and.
economically and that the tax payers
are well satisfied. He says the APP
probation of the work of this depart
ment is best shown by the liberal
contributions of money and supplies
that are freely made by the citv's
most influential property owners.

ORGANIZE THE LEAGUE.

The Citizens Committee of Fifty
will meet tonight TO determine,
among other things, whether it
should continue to exist as Il muni-
cipal league to watch legislation.
The DEMOCRAT believes that the
sentiment of the citizens generally is
overwhelmingly in favor of the MAIN
tenance of such an organiZa1 ion.
SO far as the municipality is con-
cerned it is unquestionably the duty
of all citizens to carefully scrutinize
legislation aMcting their interests.
But the past has. shown that what
is everybody's business is nobody's
business" Tho dire consequences of
this lax interest in local affairs have
been made too apparent to all our
people within the hast year To require
explanation here
If the Citizens Committee had
nothing else to its credit than the
fact that it has throughly aroused
the people of Akron to the necessity
of taking greater interest than here
tofore in the administration of their
city'S affairs its mission would have
have been well fulfilled.
Akron people are fortunate just
now in being represented by a Coun-
