The American Economist, one of the

branches of trade are prosperous. 1t
expresses the sentiment of business
men all over the country in the fol-
lowing pleaant way:
The state OF Ohio deserves to be pros
porous. The rest of the country owes to
Ohio the debt Of having given to the coun-

ogniZed as the great exponent OF the sys-
TEN of protection, through which the great
prosperity of the present which is being
enjoyed by Ohio and by all the other states
in the Union has been secured. We owe
the country's prosperity to McKinleyism,
and we owe Mckinley to Ohio. Therefore
We wish all prosperity to Ohio; and our
wishes are all the more cordial because OF
| the fact that Ohio has not a monopoly on
prosperity, but that all the country has q

EQUIPPED AND WORTHY
Is Republican Candidate For
Governor, George K. Nash.
JOHN sHERMANs ELOQUENT WORDS

Written In Answer to the Efforts Of
John X. MoLeans Newspaper TO Make
It Appear That the Ex-senator Is Not
In Accord wI,b the Republican Party
This Year.
The efforts Of the Democratic or
gans to misrepresent Republicans and
lead the public to believe that Repub-
lican leaders are divided have been
signally rebuked by Senator John
Sherman, the veteran statesman of
Mansfield.
Boss McLean's newspaper, a few
days since, printed a story which
sought to create the impression that
Senator Sherman was not friendly to
Judge Nash and the Republican ticket.
Congressman Kerr of the Mansfield
district called the article to Sherman's s
attention, and in reply the senator
paid a splendid tribute to Judge Nash
and effectively sets at rest the ridic-
ulous fables of the Democratic mis-
chief-makers. He says:
Mansfield, o., Aug. Is, 1899
Hon. w. S. Kerr, Mansfield, o.:
My Dear Sir-I have received your letter
of this days date in regard to certain
newspaper statements which you think
might tend to create the impression that
am not in accord with the nominations
of our party this fall and inviting a state
ment from me as to the matter. -.s
i have IOtippl tho articles tn which vOp
refer, and have not thought 1t worth while
to pay any attention to them, but as you
say they mislead some people, will frank
ly reply.
In the first place / can not imagine how
Fsuch statements can have originated, as
II must be apparent to all that they are
entirely without foundation. They are
doubtless the work of some newspaper
writer with a very brilliant Imagination.
My position as a Republican is well known,
and to say that could ever be anything
else is, as you remark utter nonsense"
Besides, II had been permitted to make
the nominations for our party this fall
myself l could not possibly have improved
on those made in the convention. Judge
Nash has always been and Is now an inti'
mate and warm personal friend He is
In every way equipped for and worthy of
the high office of governor of this state.
He Is an eminent lawyer, conservative In
his temperament, a man of the highest
personal character, and will fill the posi-
tion with great credit to himself and the
state. His past record and well known
personality furnish sufficient assurance
that he will discharge his duties with fair
ness and lmpartiality to all alike. There
can be no reason why any one who has ever
called himself Republican should not
heartily support him, nor do ] think that

Admiral Dewey says: II do not de-
sire fetes or demonstrations at home.
1t is enough for me that my country
knows l did my duty as a soldier"
Americas love for the hero who won
for her the splendid possessions Of the
Philippines, which are destined to be-
come a great source of national
wealth, is intensified by his modesty.
1t will be as impossible to prevent the
demonstrations of gratitude and ad-
miration by a patriotic people for a
great American patriot as to stop the
flow of Niagara. The anti-expansion-
lists may not like it, but that will make
no difference in the cordiality and en-
thusasm with which the American
people will welcome home the greatest
naval hero since Farragut.

1t Cuts Both Ways.

The anti expansionists are parading
with great glee the remarks of re-
turned soldiers regarding the condi-
tions at Manila. 1t is natural, of course,
that they should make the most of
statements to the effect that the Philip
pines and all their inhabitants are
worthless but they ought to see that
this argument cuts both ways. They
have been declaiming against the in
justice of calling the Tagals savages,
and insisting that Aguinaldo is sec
ond Washington. But these same SOL
diers whose views they now exploit
speak with the utmost scorn OF the
men who the anti-eZpansionistS think
are TT to establish civilized govern
