WHAT TIE VOTE SHOWS.

OF course, administration organs
profess to be we'll satisfied with the
election Of Nash, the Hanna candidate
in Ohio. which they claim is an en-
dorsement of the administration and
its policies, including Imperialism, by
the people of Ohio, the Presidents
own State.
But let us see if this is true of the
people of Ohio in the light of the re-
turns and estimates We have up to
date.
The total vote in Ohio was probably
more than it was in the last guberna-
torial election in 1897. when it was
$4,000 in round numbers. OF this to-
tai vote Bushnell received 429. 300, or
50.29 per cent, and Chapman, his
Democratic opponent, AZ per cent,
about three per cent. being scattered.
This year-accepting in the absence
Of the completed returns, the most ex-
IRENE claims of the Republican chair
man-with total vote of say $4,000,
Nash receives a plurality of 10000
the extreme Republican claim-over
Mclean. Subtracting from the total
vote 100000 conceded to the indepen-
dent candidate, Jones. this leaves the
total Republican vote 100000, or but
AZ per cent. of the total vote.
In palmer language, of the, say, ESQ.,
600 Ohio voters who went to the polls
Tuesday 100000 voted for the admins
tration candidate, or, as our Republic
can friends themselves prefer to put
1t, to endorse the administration.
while 100000 voted against the admin
lstration and to condemn its policies
casting their ballots for Mclean or
Jones in preference to endorsing"
the Hanna Mckinley administration.

very welcome to any cohsolation they

TWO WARS FOR CONQUEST COM
PARED.

PARED.
It's a question after all il John Bull
would care to swap his Boer war for
Uncle Sans Filinipo war; despite the
immense superiority of the Beers as
fighters over the Filipinos. For an
enemy like the Filipinos who fights and
runs away, lives to fight another day,
while one who toes the scratch and
Stands the gaff'' runs chances of being
put out of business in short order by
the superior foe.
1t is a question, also, which war
would in the end cost most in money
and blood, the series of terrific pitched
battles soon decided or the long drawn
out and wearying and wearing guerilla
warfare that may stretch its dreary,
bloody length over years.
The chances are it will cost England
less to subjugate the Beers and lay
their vastly rich country under tribute,
than it will cost the United States to
finally subdue the poorly armed and
half-civilized Filipinos-if this is ever
wholly accomplishment take their
comparatively worthless islands.
John Bull in his imperial greed is
at least fighting for a tremendously
rich stake, while the administration at
Washington is fighting for something
which. when won, will leave the Amerl-
can people far poorer than before and
be a constant drain on the American
taxpayer to hold and govern, While OF
fering no compromising benefit what
ever to the people, the taxpayer, who
must stand the brunt of it ALL

the most extreme claims of the Repub-

Trustism, Hannaism and McKinleyism.

man in the White House less timid
and tentative in his official dealings

The only pointer the returns lul-
nish Mr.. Mckinley is the confirmation
of the fact, which he was pretty well
aware of before, that the American
people, if they do not call upon him
to "haul down the flag" in the Orient,
at least condemn his un-American
war of conquest to plumber a weaker
people Of their territory and indepen-
dence for the benefit of few pluto
cratic speculative sharks. 1t is an
outspoken condemnation of the Imper-
ial and military policy which must
prove so frightfully costly to the plain
American people.
