M'LEAN DEFEATED IN OHIO
Republicans Claim Their Plurality VIII
Exceed Thirty Thousand.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. Sat midnight
the Republicans claimed that their plu.
rality would exceed $4,000, with over
100000 for Jones out of Il total of less
than 900, 200. Tho Republican majority
in the legislature is larger than usual
but no senator is to be elected. Judge
Nash was scrcnadcd after midnight at
the Neil house. To an enthusiastic
crowd he made a speech. Judge Nash
said that the Ohio result was q message
to President Mckinley that his home
state endorsed his administration and
presaged Mcl<inlcy's denomination and
election in 1900. The Republicans made
their largest gains at the homes of
Judge Nash, Mr.. Hanna and Chairman
Dick.
The vote in Canton was: Nash, $3.50;
Mclean, 3,037; Jones, 2l9.
After ! p. i'll. the returns showed the
Democratic gains in Cincinnati and
other cities We're reduced, and that
Mclean was likely third at Cleveland
and possibly at Toledo. in which cities
Jones drew much more heavily from
the Democratic ranks than from the Re-

The last Issue of the Rapid Stock

that publication its, editor finding,
no douot, that the publication Of
two papers, the Stockman and

except the heading, was not q suc-

Mark Hanna's aagent at Buffalo
Gap has peculiar knack of getting
everything bassack wards. The
change above referred to was made
because the increasing business on
i'HE UNION left little or no time to
devote to The Stockman as q sepa-
rate publication. That is all there
was to it. We have not tried all
sorts of schemes" to make The
Stockman pay, nor have we
failed. That part Of the
story originated at Buffalo Gap.
Just where the Republicans in

such an inspiration we don't know.
The consolidation was made under
the heading of the newspaper which
paid the best dividend. We are not
in the business for our health alto

TOLEDO, Nov. s.-The Republican
county and legislative ticket with one
exception is evidently elected with plu.
ralities ranging from 1000 to 5000
Yost Dem.), treasurer, is probably re-
elected. Jones cut deeper into the
Democratic vote than was expected and
harmed the Republicans less than they
feared. AT midnight SO Of the 10 pre-
cincts in the county give Nash 4, 45S; Nc
Lean, 1892; Jones, 1896.
Jones precincts began coming in after
midnight. Indications now are that
Nash will barely pull through, as all
save three of the country precincts are
in. Seventy-two out of 10 precincts
give Nash G,096; Mclean, 1867; Jones,
1891. Nearly all the remaining pre-
cincts are Democratic. 1t is impossible
to tell at this time which candidate will
carry Lucas county.

Nash Carries His Home County

COLUMBUS, Nov. Sat midnight 81
out Of 1875 precincts in Columbus and
Franklin county show Judge Nash has
carried his home county by 1885. Two
years ago Chapman Dem carried the
county by l,l39, making the net Repub-
lican gain 3,lSi. The Republicans have
elected their entire county and legisla-
tive ticket, including a state senator.
Cleveland-Fifty precincts in Cuya-
hoga county give Nash 1882; Mclean,
1879; Jones, 6,646, a Republican loss Of
2,lG2 and a Democratic loss of 1853.
This will give Jones majority over the
other two candidates in this county.

AntIdote Against stinrs.

According to DR.. Friedlander, Of.
Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidotc
against stings OF insects. His plan
In such cases is to apply a constant
current and to place a negative cathode
on the spot stung by the insect. Gal
vanization produces a rather strong
sensation of burning, but at the same
time the pain from the sting dlsap-
pears, and II the electricity is applied
very soon after the wound has been
inflicted there is little or no swelling
The current, however, does excellent.
service, even If it be not applied I'M
til after some time has elapsed, for
it removes the pain and also quickly
reduces the swelling. The SUPPOSE
ton is that the poison which the in
sect has injected through the skin, is
neutralized and rendered %innocuous
by the current. DR.. Friedlander has
repeatedly made experiments of this
kind on persons who have been stung
by bees and wasps, and has invariably
found them successful. He naturally
believes Thai a similar result would be
obtained in the cases Of persons stuna
by other insects.

Really No Lack of Work

We are told that there is lack of
work. But there is no lack of useful
and beautiful work to be done, and no
lack of eager toilers to whom the free
and fruitful labor would be the elod-
ness of life. Millions of fields are
waiting for pillow and seed, and for wa.
ter from the hills, that they NAV sir q
to the ill-fed and overworked millions
with harvests of bread and 10Y. Mil
lions more OF valley and hillside acras
are ready to blossom with cotton and
the wool of sheep, that they NAV
clothe the millions of ill-clad children
and their miserable mothers. Millions
of ore and fuel, in the hearts of noun
tains and the depths of earth, promise
to come forth for the wealth and
warmth of the millions asking to full
fill the promise by the labor of their
hands. Millions of homes are needed
for the millions who die in the moral
and physical wretchedness of tene-
ments, because they must buy from
the lords Of rent a place wherein to
lay their heads on the earth God gave
them; and millions of builders are
waiting to clothe with home of love
and beauty an earth set free from own
ers and tribute-takers.-Prot. Geo. D.

Mayor Jones of Toledo has Of late
been besieged with all sorts of econom
ic questions. A man named Brook
er Of North Baltimore, Ohio, asks:
why are American citizens reduced
to such h%ardships that the almost daily
plea is, For Gods sake, give us more
work." Mayor Jones says in re-
ply:
1T is not for lack of work that ought
to be done. Thousands of miles of i'm
passable roads all over northern Ohio
every winter keep thousands of people
in the rural districts almost as etfec-
tually shut out from communication
and association with their fellowmen
as though they were under a siege.
Let us add to the wealth Of the coun-
try by making beautiful roads, good
at all seasons of the year.
Millions of American citizens have
walked the streets Of our cities this
winter with wet feet for wan of shoes
in this vain search for work, while
thousands of shoemakers were locked
out of Massachusetts shoe factories be-
~ lAC AIo MUS "CI6 OFGrStOCkP0
and wages had to be reduced to afford
the manufacturers a profit
Other thousands have faced the
chilling winter winds, having only a
thin coat pinned under the chin to
the lack Of a shirt, while our
largest and best clothing houses in
several American cities have gone 20
the wall on account of lack of trade
The price Of brick is so low that
the manufactures are in danger of
bankruptcy, yet thousands of young
babies have had the young life frozen
out of their bodies, as their parents
have tried to raise them in huts unfit
to house a dog, without coal, while coal
miners starved in Ohio for want Of
work, and killed each other in Illinois
in the fratricidal strife for a chance to
work FOR a living.

seem to have been. the, causes that
led Samuel Lewis, Is years old, a
drug clerk, to commit suicide at his
home, $40 East Eighty-sixth street,
In New York, the other morning. He
took carbolic acid, and died in ten
minutes. Lewis worked for G.. w.

ty-fifth street and Eighth avenue, and
his hours were from 10 o'clock in the
morning to midnight every day, with
only every other Sunray off. His long
hours made him Respondent. along
with his bad health, AMI he used to
say that there was no future in the
drug business for him. His father
thinks he was somewhat weak-mind-
ed, and he says Samuel used to say
he hoped his father would not die be-
fore him, as he did not want to see
him living in want. The boys $40
a week supported the family Of ten,
with the exception Of small sums the
father and three others at work turn
ed in. Lewis got home at l o'clock
in the morning. His father called
him at 9 o'clock and told him it was
time to go to the store. The son
asked his father to get something
from down stairs, and the father de-
parted. When he returned he found
his son w%rithing in agony from car
bolic acid he had drunk. The father
ran out to get a doctor, but he came
back without one, and his son by thai
time was dead.
