POLITICS Is
ON THE BOOM.
Ohio Will Be Flooded With
Orators and Literature For
THE BALANCE OF CAMPAIGN
Prohibitionists Claim O.OOO Votes In the
Stste-Talk OF the Floppers-Ths
Speaker Bureau and the Cam
ton Assignments.

Special to News-Democrat.
Columbus, Oct. 24-At both polit-
ical being crowded into the closing hours
is being crowded into the closing hours
of the campaign. Both forces are labor
ing day and night and an awful flood of
political oratory will be turned loose on
the voters of Ohio during the next 10
days.
The Democracy is claiming the state
by safe margin, basing the statement
on the expectation of the turning of the
10000 Republicans who are claimed to
be opposed to the territorial policy of
the administration. The names of these
it is declared, are in possession of the
officers of the Ohio Anti-Imperialists'
association, of which organization Gen.
John Beatty. of Columbus, is the presi-
dent. The Republicans dispute the
claims of the Democrats and predict
that they will carry the state by an
increased plurality.
Chairman j. j. Ashenhurst, of the
Prohibitionists, is
MAKING CLAIMS, TOO.
Twenty-thousand is the number Of
votes he says John j. Woolley will get
in Ohio, He has publicly made the
statement that Rev. j. c. Taggart, D..
D., one of the leading pastors of East
Liverpool, has bolted the Republican
ticket for Woolley, on account of the
canteen position of the president.
Chairman Dick has requested that all
Republican meetings for October 25
be cancelled, out of respect to the men,
ory of the late John Sherman.

DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS.
Among the appointments of speakers
at Democratic headquarters yesterday
was the assignment of Hon. A. w. Thur
man for North Baltimore for the night
of November 2. Labor Commissioner
Ratchford returned today from Massil-
Ion, where he, with Representative Poi
lock, addressed meeting of Republicans
Monday evening.
I have learned why Canton has no:
been favored with more Democratic
orators. A member of the speakers
bureau at headquarters yesterday said,
in all sincerity, that the reason larger
number of speakers had not been sent
to Canton was that the committee wish
ed to observe the utmost propriety and
delicacy owing to that city being the
home of the president.

Philip Lewis, who then committed sui
eide. Both bodies were taken to Rolls
tons undertaking rooms. The latter
firm buried Lewis body yesterday, but
Adenberg and Rolston could not agree
on terms and the girls remains were
taken home.
Adenberg then went to the west side,
but failed to find an undertaken with
whom he could strike a bargain. Be-
ing a member of the Jewish church at
1884 Clark street, he finally made ar
rangements with the church authorities
to bury his daughter for $50
At the cemetery, however, the church
authorities reminded him that he owed
them $14 on an old debt. After much
arguing the church officials offered to
settle for $50 and make the interment.
Adenberg became angry, declared he
was being "sandbagged" and ordered
the girls body taken back home.
The attendants at the cemetery were
preparing to wrap the body in wind
ing sheet when they were ordered to re-
dress the corpse in the clothing in which
1t was brought to the cemetery.

which bore the frank. In the envelope
were number of pamphlets such as

quarters, and also an extract from the
Congressional record. This last is priv
legged to pass through the mails. The
district attorney promised to look into
the matter, and the case was placed In
the hands Of the inspector.
Last night when Mr.. Burton was ask
ed by the Leader concerning this charge,
he said; 1t is true that my secretary
gave the Republican committee a num-
ber Of franked envelopes with the ex-
plicit understanding that they were to

appurtenances in the various station
houses, and many other things too nu-
merous to mention, is one of the most
technical undertakings that is allotted

insurance officials in time to peruse the
contents before any great improvements
have been made which would conflict
with the valuation as ct forth in the
several reports. The amount of insur-
ance the company expects to take out Is
In the neighborhood of $S,0o0,000 and
possibly much more than that amount.
The amount of insurance carried on
Canton property is about $4,000; COW

A GREAT DEVICE.
Parties Will Be Able to Tele-
phone From Street
Cars.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct 24-Telephones are
being fitted in the cars of the st. Charles
Rock Road and Western company,
which extends into St. Louis county.
They will enable the motorman to COM
municate with the sheds, wrecking car
or offices or crews on other cars. Pas
sengers will be able to talk with friends
and tell them when to expect them. The
instrument is placed in the rear Of each
car, the negative wire being connected
permanently through the wheels to the
rail and the positive wire being fitted
with a simple device resembling a
jointed fishing pole, by which connec-
ton is secured with a private overhead
wire paralleling the trolley.
The device is the invention of J. D.
Haussman, president Of the company.
Mr.. Haussman expects to introduce his
invention upon railroad trains and be-
lieves that the system would effectually
prevent head or rear end collisions, as
the conductors could be constantly In
communication with each other while
the trains were in motion between
points.

NOT SUPPORTING
THE PRESIDENT.
Grover Cleveland Denies Asser-
tiOn Of Republicans.
HE WANTS HIS FRIENDS
To Understand That He Has Said Nothing
That Can He Construed Into
an Endorsement OF
Mckinley.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 24.-Ex- President
Grover Cleveland in an interview re-
garding the report that he would sup
port Mckinley, said: II am not aware
of having made any statement that
would justify the assertion that I am
going to support Mr.. Mckinley
The interview was obtained at the ex-
presidents home in Princeton. Mr..
Cleveland. for personal reasons, and for
his own peace of mind, does not care
to enter into the strife Of the political
campaign. His views on the financial
question are parallel with those enter
tained by thousands of Democrats who
are this year supporting Mr.. Bryan, on
the issues Of Imperialism and the trusts,
feeling that those issues are paramount.
The ex-president received letter
from the west a short time ago, asking
If he had changed his views on the
financial question. OF course his reply
was that he had not. He says his let
ter of reply was industriously circulated
by the Republican press, and Its mean
ing had been distorted into support OF
the administration of Mckinley. Mr.
Clevland does not care to have any OF
his political friends put such a con-
struction on the letter, and makes II
, clear that his financial views were not
, to be taken as a support of the Re-
publican ticket.
: Mr.. Cleveland firmly declined to be
drawn into a political controversy. He
is explicit in his denial that any state.
ment made by him should have giver
any encouragement that he is in support
of President Mckinley and the Republi.
: can administration.
Mr.. Cleveland evidently enjoyed tht
summer and is In the best of health. HI
Is in political retirement and is not a
! odds with his old political friends. HI
does not care to take an active part IL
the turmoil of the campaign.
