LET HANNA CALL OFF HIS DOGS.

The Chicago Chronicle, a contem-
porary OF the Times-Herald endorses
all that Mr.. Kohlsaat has to say about
the unsavory and malodorous record of
Mr.. Foraker, but declares that he is no
worse than Marcus A. Hanna, and that
if there is difference it is one of guam
tity rather than of quality. The
Chronicle hits the nail squarely on the
head when it says:
"Joseph B. Foraker is malodorous
and unsavory politician. There is no
doubt of that. His record is Shiny. 1t
smells bad. Yet Foraker is no worse
than Marcus A. Hanna. He is not so
bad, Whatever sins may be charged
to Foraker may likewise be charged in
tenfold ratio TO Hanna. The difference
perhaps, is one OF quantity rather than
OF quality. Foraker may have had the
disposition, but he has lacked either the
ability or the Oportunity to achieve the
prominence in scoundrelism enjoyed
by his colleague in the United States
senate.
"It is not becoming at any rate, for
Hanna to assault Foraker through his
newspaper organs-one local publi.
cation, the other nondescript print
located in Brooklyn. Hanna would
do better quietly to nurse his rheu.
matism in Europe than to conduct q
campaign of vilifcation against
man who, whatever his turpi
tude may be, is infinitely less dan,
gerous than Is Hanna himself. TIE at.
tack, coming from Hanna, looks bad
The devil cannot rebuke sin with any
prospect OF inspiring faith in his sin
cerity. The excoriation OF Foraker al
the hands OF Hanna-the virtuous rep
rehension OF rascality-personal anG
political-by man whose name is syn
onimous with rascality-is nauseatine
disgusting. 1t is the sublimity of ef
frontery.
1t is not worth while to particularize
1t Is not worth while to show that, /
Foraker lobbied street railway bill
through the legislature, Hanna tried tt
do the same thing and failed. 1t Is no
worth while to point out that il Fora

patron and intimate 1t Is not worth
while, in short, to point out that ever,
one OF the charges made by Hanna
against Foraker through the columns
OF Hanna's newspaper organs applie
with greater force to Hanna than Il
| Foraker.
1t is not worth while to analyze thes,
charges and countercharges, because
there are other matters in which tn,
comparison between Foraker ant
Hanna fails. Foraker's iniquity is of
comparatively cheap type. Perhap
rather than to his volition. But it i
certain, at least, that Foraker didn'
bribe his way into the senate Othe
considerations aside, he didn't hav
the necessary money.

ed in Ohio. Hanna's activity has beel
bounded only by the confines Of tie ma

Columbus, June % The convention
Of Democratic clubs of Ohio which is
to be held In this city July and 7,
promises to be one Of the most import
ant political gatherings ever held in
the state. Many of the most promi-
nent Democrats of Ohio have given
their hearty support to the plan Of
forming permanent state organiza-
tion, and have signified their intention
OF being present and taking an active
part in this movement. Under this
call each Democratic club in the state
will be entitled to one delegate and to l
additional delegate for each fifty mem
bers or fraction thereof. On account
OF the very low rates made for
the Elks Street Carnival which will
be in progress at this time Democrats
from all over the state are expected to

will consist of addresses by Hon. Will
liam j. Bryan, Hon. George Fred Will
liams, Judge James p. Tarvin, the sill
yer tongued orator OF Kentucky, Sepa
tor John w. Daniel OF Virginia, Colo
mel James Kilbourne and Hon. John J.
Lentz. The gathering has assumed
national Importance by an invitation
which has been sent out to all the ma
tional committeeman, the state
central committeeman and the Dem.
ocratic members of the Ohio
legislature to be present. 1t is ex-
pected that the speeches upon this oc-
casion will clearly indicate the line of
battle the Democrats of the United
States will pursue for the fall campaign
and it Is thought that the meeting OF
the National Committeeman will be
one of more than ordinary interest.
Chairman William FL. Maizo, who has
charge OF the banquet tickets, is being
flooded by requests from every nook
and corner in the state for tickets to
this banquet. Headquarters have been
opened at 2l04 South High street, and
the large force OF clerks employed
gives one the impression that the Dem
ocrats have opened up the campaign
even before the state convention.

The following welcome letter is from
an old and true friend Of the Stark
County Democrat and personal friend
Of the recipient for over half century.
Mr.. Chapman for long years lived on
his farm mile or 80 west of Navarro,
and was very successful woolgrower
for many years. In 1857 he was the
Democratic candidate for the state
senate in this, the Carroll-Stark dis
trict, and was elected by some 10 of a
majority. Stark county was redeemed
that year from the grasp OF the Repub-
lican-Know Nothing party. ..-..-.

PATRICK SCANLON
Was One of the Prominent Citi-
zens of the County and is
Sincerely MOurned.
Special to the News-Democrat.

Special to the News-Democrat.
Alliance, June 29.-By the death of
Patrick Scanlon, in this city, Wednes-
day, there was removed from life one
of the most prominent citizens of Stark
county. Mr.. Scanlon died suddenly, of
heart disease.
Mr.. Scanlon ate dinner in his usual
health, and afterwards went to the barn
and hitched up his horse with the in
tention of driving out to the Catholic
cemetery. After tying the horse to a
post in front of his store he went into
the back yard for moment and while
there fell to the ground. His wife no.
ticed him lying on the ground shortly
after he fell, and summoning assistance
he was removed to the house and DR..
J. A. Roach summoned, but Mr.. Scan
lon had breathed his last before the
physician arrived.
Patrick j. Scanlon was in his cd
year, having been born in the city and
county of Sligo, Ireland, in the month
of February, 1888. When II years OF
age he came to America and located in
Troy, N. Y. Seventeen years later he
moved to Alliance and had been a resi-
dent here during the past 35 years. For
several years he was employed as labor
boss in the foundry department OF the
Morgan Engineering Co Nineteen
years ago Mr.. Scanlon severed his con.
nection with the company and en-
barked in the grocery business on
North Freedom avenue, which he had
conducted successfully since.
Mr., Scanlon was prominent in polit.
ical circles, having twice been the
nominee OF his party for county com.
missioner, and twice member of the
equalization board OF this city, having
been elected last spring to serve for
three years. Only yesterday the duties
OF the board were completed for this
year, and Mr.. Scanlon had attended
every session.
He was faithful member of St. Jos
eph's church. prominent in the delib
erations of the G. M. B. A., and ar
honorable, upright citizen.
He Is survived by his wife and the
following children: Mrs. Joseph Peter
man OF Louisville, Mrs. d. A. Burnan
OF Admission, Ala; Ella, Mary, Patrick
Jr., and John p. Scanlon, who reside

tion, and within the past year 1t has
reached out into the ocean. Cuban
bonds and Porto Rican concessions
have formed fitting sequal to opera
tions in Wall street, where the honor
OF the republic wavered with the huc-
tuations OF the stock ticker in April,
1898. Foraker has not debauched ma
tion-has not trafficked in his country g
honor-has not swayed welI-meaping
weakling to curses which threatened
the American people with such
humiliation as civilized people have
not suffered in centuries. AS we have
said, Foraker has perhaps lacked OPP
portunity. In Hanna's place 1t Is pos
sible-ttough not probable-that he
might have rivaled Hanna in turpitude.
At any rate, he has not done so. Han
ma occupies unchallenged a bad emf
nence. He sits exalted on a throne
erected upon the ruins of political hon
esty and personal probity. He has no
rival and fortunately so. The Ameri-
can republic, virile though it is, could
not survive the activity Of two such
monsters.
But, though Hanna enjoys undisput-
ed preeminence in scoundrelism, 1t
does not follow that he is entitled to
rebuke lesser scoundrels. He should
rather preserve silence or even offer
encouragement to those whose oppor-
tunities for evil have not been equal to
his own. Instead of attacking Foraker
Hanna should hearten him with the
hope that he, too, may some day cor
troll great political organization, die
tate legislation and own president OF
the United States"

ments capable OF such swift and COM
plete contradiction that the public was
at once justified in applying the axiom
falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, to his
whole denial.
1t was not the first time that Joseph
B. Foraker's credibility had been i'm
peached out of ais own mouth.
When the Republican state conven-
tion in Ohio met last month Joseph B..
Foraker appeared on the scene, pre-
pared to use dynamite or his knife to
get even on his rivals inside the party.
But he was outnumbered end turned
down so dexterously and hard that he
had scarcely breath left to repeat his
hypocritical plea for harmony before
the convention.
Taking this deceitful plea for its text
the Times-Herald called upon the Re-
publicans of Ohio to retire Foraker as
an act of self-respect and self-preserva-
tion. 1t pointed out how he had been
treacherous, vindictive and sordid in
every relation of his political life. Itre-
called how had he been alternately OBJ
sequious and faithless to every public
man in Ohio. How he had turned his
personal popularity and official expert
euce to the basest uses OF the Lobbyist.
How ha had set wealth before him as
the incentive, idol and goal of a career
that had once promised better things.
1t ridiculed the idea of harmony within
the Republican party OF Ohio so long
as both Foraker and his rivals remain
ed in public life.
The Times-Herald was moved to de-
mand the retirement of Foraker be-
cause the Republican press of his own
state is so fearful of his malignity, so
hypnotized by the illusory plea of party
harmony, that it shrank from the un-
pleasant duty.
That duty has been performed. The
truth has been published about Fora
ker, not only in Ohio, but throughout
the Union. He has had his day and say
in the newspapers. His only defense
has been to blackguard the editor Of
the Times-Herald.
This style OF defense has only recoil-
ed on Senator Foraker, whose reputa-
tion throughout the nation today is that
of political intriguer, hypocrite and
lobbyist;
The Republican party OF Ohio has
nothing to fear from such man but
his continued participation in its coun-
ellis. Outside of it's ranks he Is as i'm
potent as sterilized scorpion"

THE BYRAN BANQUET.

The Columbus Press Post calls the
attention OF the Democrats of Ohio to
the importance of the Byran banquet
to be held in Columbus 7. The Post
says editorially:
The "dollar dinner" in honor oi
William J. Bryan, to be given in the
great auditorium in this city on the
evening of July I, will be one of the
most important political events OF the
year, from national as we'll as local
standpoint. While the chief interest
OF the occasion undoubtedly centers In
Mr. Bryan's presence, the fact that
other prominent guests will be such
eminent Democratic leaders as Senator
Daniel, Geo. Fred Williams and Judge
Tarvin, shows that it will be by nc
means a one-man affair In his work
entitled "The First Battle" Mr.. Bry-
an referred to his visit to Columbus

better be eliminated from the program.
According to the imperialists this doc

To read it now, at a celebration, the
object Of which is to promote loyalty

nothing less than rank treason by the
imperialists. Besides, 1t may lend en-

AN ABHORRENT CRIME.

Kidnapping is not popular in New
York, and Judge Warner OF the su.
preme court.of that state is evident.
ly determined that it shall not
be. He sentenced Mrs. Barrow,
the kidnapper of little Marion
Clark to twelve years in the
state prison, nearly the maximum pen,
atty under the law. In addressing
Mrs. Barrow Judge Warner said:
"This case is so important, so un-
usual, that no criticism or sentiment
should interfere in the administration
Of justice. This defendant stands con-
fessedly guilty OF one of the most ab,
horrent crimes known to modern civ
iliZation--a crime that strikes at the
foundation OF society. She has COM
mitted crime that shows her to be
devoid Of the finer and tender feelings
characteristic OF her sex. She has in
vaded the sapctity of the home. By
act Of villany she has spread fear
among the mothers throughought the
land, and her punishment must be such
as will not only make it impossible for
her to repeat the crime, but as we'll
serve as an awful warning to others
not to attempt to traffic in human flesh
and blood. Language is inadequate to
describe the condemnation OF this
crime, and nothing hut swift punish
ment can express the sentiment against
it,"
Kidnapping is crime second only
to murder, If not equal to it, and the
laws of the states should make the pen
atty as severe as that for murder.
