REBUKE HANNA BossIsM.

The revolt against the brutal bossism
of Mark Hanna cannot be stayed. Nor
is it confined to any one class of Repub-
licans or to any particular section. 1t
is general throughout the state. PTcmi-
nent among the great number of Repub-
licans who openly rebuke lIannL is
Colonel c. r. Fisher, Republican editor
of the Wilmington Journal and mem
Der of Governor Bushnell's military
staff. In an interview given for publi-
cation in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Col.
Fisher says:
do not deem it political treachery for
Ohio Republicans to resent or rebuke
Mark Hanna's methods. He is interfer-
ing in local affairs in all the counties.
We can have no voice in home rule with
Hanna managing the Republican party.
The Republicans of Clinton county are
the best people on earth. Our voters are
always loyal. They care nothing for
machine politics, and in times past have
accepted conditions without dissent.
But they, as honest men, loving their
country, loving good government for the
people and by the people, are now
aroused by the un-Republican methods
of Hanna and his managers. Until
Hanna came into Ohio politics we elect
ed our delegates to state conventions by
primary or county conventions, which
gave the people voice in affairs. How
has it been undr Hanna? For two
years the delegates have been chosen
by the local committees controlled by
Hanna. The sentiment was against
such action. Even members of the COM
mite knew the voters of Clinton county
did not approve, but orders came from
the boss to appoint, and the committee
had to obey. 1t will never be done
again. The primary election of next
April will go back to the old system.
The Hanna committee will be voted out
and in the future Clinton county Re-
publicans will have something to say
without dictation from Cleveland. 1t is
not Mckinley that we oppose, but the
brutal conduct of Hanna. 1t is bad
politics. Chairman Dick even cannot
approve the methods of Hanna and hope
to win a great victory. 1 hope McKin-
ley will be elected, but l regret that he
allows Hanna to run the campaign.

NURSING HIS BOYS.
Wheeling & Lake Erie COnduc-
tor Returns to Work
After a Week.

Frank Harsh, a conductor on the Car
rollton branch of the w. & l.. e. rail-
way, who formerly resided in this city,
returned to duty Tuesday for the first
time for a week. Harsh's home is in
Carrollton. A few days ago his two sons
aged respectively 16 and IL years, secur-
ed wagon and a team of horses to do
some work. While driving down a hill
near Carrollton, a portion of the harness
broke, allowing the wagon to slip
against the wagon to lock, but the terrific
the animals and they dashed down the
hill. One of the boys braced himself
against the wagon to lock, but the trrific
speed at which they were travelling twis-
ted the lock off when they reached the
foot of the hill, and they were both
thrown out. The younger boy struck a
telephone pole and had one Of his legs
broken. The older boy was less fortu-
nate, as he was thrown to the ground
and had deep cash cut in his neck, his
hip was laid open and his left leg bro
ken. The boys condition is still seri-
Gus. Mr.. Harsh has been nursing the
boys.

John r. Mclean is prepared to make
the battle of his life in order to secure
his election as governor of Ohio, and
Republicans who imagine that their
party will win the fight this fall without
exertion are making tremendous mis-
take. Mclean has nothing to lose but
his money, and If he should gain his
point he will be the next candidate of
his party for the Observation-Disclosures
Independent.
The Independent is right on the first
half Of its story. On the last half en-
tirely wrong. Mr.. Mclean has more
than money to lose, but he will not
even lose that If he should gain--and
there isn't much doubt about that now
he will not be candidate for presi-
dent In 1900.
That is already settled. William ]
Bryan will be nominated by acclama-
ton, and John r. Mclean as governor
of Ohio, will head the Bryan forces in
the national democratic convention.

JOHN r.. MCLEAN.


The Cleveland Recorder, in answer to
some Of those who bark at the heels of
John r. Mclean, talks out plainly and
gives some history that ought to set
them a-thinking. The Recorder says:
John r. Mclean, on numerous occa-
slons, stepped aside in Difference to
weakened people who thought 1t was
not the best thing" for him to go be-
fore the people.
Whenever he has taken q back seat
he has, before dong so, deposited large
sums of money for the use of the party.
In 1896, although he had been kept off
the ticket by trickery, he paid more than
| ten times as much money into the ma
tional treasury for the party and did
more otherwise than any other man ex-
cept William j. Bryan for the success
of the party.
Happily Mr.. Mclean is not going to
take back seat this year. He is be-
fore the people and the people will have
an opportunity to know a great deal
about him before the campaign is over
If the ours and the squealers have
anything definite to say let them do it.
This is not an OCCASION when simple
| DdlhliS 10 BOluB u COunL IOT IluCl
| Specifications and counts are wanted
/ Let us either have them or silence.
Will the enemies of John r. Mclean
cite the fact that he is the best friend
of organized labor in the state of Ohio
Will they point to the fact that the ty-
biographical unions of the state regard
him as only second to the late George
w. Childs in what he has actually done
for them? Will the rat" Plain Dealer,
which regards itself as too good to stand
for Mclean, dwell upon the fact that he
has befriended the poor and the down
troden of Cincinnati for a quarter of a
century past; that he has supplied the
poor with coal in the winter and ice in
the summer? Will that sheet call at
tention to the vast sums he has spent for
the cause of the Democratic party?
Will it urge his defeat on the ground
| that he supported the Chicago platform
in 1896 in his great newspaper, the
strongest in the west, while Holden was
supporting that platform, but?
John r. Mclean is the strongest can
didate who could have been selected for
the fight this year, and he will make the
best fight for the Democracy that can
be made. o..

GREAT NORTHERN
GETS KENNEDY.
Good RailrOader Need Not Long
Be Out ola Position.
WILL BE RESIDENT ENGINEER
And He and His Esteemed wife VIII Reside
at Duluth Carry with Them the
Well wishes of Many
Friends.

Ex-Superintendent Harry A. Ken
nedy, of the late c. G. & s. railway, will
leave Canton Friday morning for Du-
luth, Mimi, where he assumes the po-
sition of resident engineer of the east
ern division of the Great Northern rail-
way. Mr.. Kennedy's headquarters will
be in Duluth.
When the G. c. & S. passed into the
hands of the w. & L. e. Superintendent
Kennedy was naturally supplanted by
the w. & L. e. officials. 1t was Mr..
Kennedy's intention to take q rest be-
fore looking for position but the fact
that so able railroader was cut out of
a job spread quickly and but short
time had elapsed before Mr.. Kennedy's
services were sought by several of the
big railway lines of the country. The
Great Northern has secured him and If
the Great Northern had gone further
north or further south they could not
have chosen more talented man for
the position he will fill. During the
years of Mr.. Kennedys residence in
Canton he has gathered about him a
wide circle of staunch friends who dis
like to see him change his address but
nevertheless extend to him and his esti-
mable wife the wish that they may
prosper in the home they have chosen.

M'KINLEY ON The WAR.
(Toledo News.)

At Pittsburg President Mckinley
made a speech to the returned Penn
sylvania volunteers and their friends
in which he took occasion to say that
the war in the Philippines was entirely
just and would be continued until the
insurgents capitulated.
Under the circumstances it is difficult
to see how the president could have said
anything else, for the situation demand
ed some expression Of opinion, no mat
ter how much the facts might be made
to suffer.
Mckinley asserts that the Philippines
belong to the United States by right of
conquest. If that is the case, what
prompted this government to pay Spain
$40, ,000, 900 for the islands?
In either event what right had the
administration to impose a govern
ment upon 100000 people who don't
want to accept 1t and are fighting
against 1t?
But Mckinley cannot be logical in
discussing the Philippine question. He
wishes to erect an argument that will
justify his course of conduct, but the
facts are against him. Therefore his
only recourse is to ignore and distort
the facts.
There can be no doubt that the Re.
publican administration has blundereo
badly in this imperialistic campaign
The people are opposed to 1t, and Presi.
dent Mckinley is at his wits ends in 6
vain attempt to bolster up his position
| by badly constructed and fallaciou'
arguments.

ALLEGED CRUELTY
TO A CHICKEN.
Hartville Justice Gets the Case
That Will Be Tried.
ACTION IN CANTON DISMISSED.
Squire Reigner Would Have Heard the
Great Case II the Hartvilie Man
Had Not Made Claim


The case of Samuel e. Bishop against
Joseph Moore was dismissed by Justice
Reigner Wednesday morning. On Au-
gust 23 Bishop appeared before Justice
Reigner and filed an affidavit against
Moore, whom he accused of cruelty to
animals in that he cut the legs off a
chicken and allowed the fowl to run
about in that condition. Under pres
sure of business the warrant from the
justice was not served for a day or two
and Bishop becoming impatient filed
similar complaint against Moore in
Justice Shoner's court at Hartville.
Justice Shoner's court and short time
thereafter Constable Henry, of Justice
Reigner's court, appeared upon the
scene with the warrant issued here. Moore
was notified to come to Canton for ar
raignment, his personal recognizance
being taken for his appearance. Moore
in the mean time, feeling that arrests
were becoming too frequent, and know
ing that the county was full of consta-
bles who might swoop down upon him,
secured the services of Attorney Sterling
to defend him. Mr.. Bishop, the prose-
cutting witness in the case, came to Can
ton Wednesday morning and consulted
Humane officer Frazer and Justice
Reigner. Attorney Sterling was also
seen and the result was that the Canton
justice dismissed the case pending in his
court. Moore will therefore be tried
before the Hartville justice, the hearing
being set for next Saturday morning

Chairman Dick has invited the patri-
otic soldier boys to join in monster
demonstration in honor of Theodore
Roosevelt on the occasion of his visit to
Akron to open the Republican cam
paign. OF course the willy chairman
takes great pains to emphasize that it
will be a strictly non-partisan affair
1t is the same old game. The attempt
to fool the boys into attending polite
al meeting under the pretense thatitwil
be non-political in its nature is a pre-
sumption on the ignorance and stupid
ity Of the soldier boys that should meet
with a speedy rebuke from them. Shame
on the men who would seek to convert
the soldiery of Ohio into political ma
chine.
