TAYLER AND TRUSTS.

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer has reviewed the
congressional situations in the Ninth,
Eighteenth and Twentieth distritcs of
The state. He finds that these districts
IRE in the ordinary years staunchly Re-
publican, but this year the almost uni
yersal feeling against trusts has turned
The Eighteenth district into the Dem
)cratic ranks.
The Enquirer continues: +. w. Tay-
.er the Republican nominee for congress
las always been a strong uphoder Of
.e trust system. He has defended
these industrial combinations in season
md out of season, and for time the
iallacies of his arguments were not seen
trough. His district is filled with iron
md steel mills, all of which are in the
control of trusts.
For a time the workmen had steady
employment, at remunerasiye wages,
md naturally did not see anything rad
cally wrong with the trust system
while that state of affairs continued.
suddenly the trusts decided to close
down the mills, and threw thousands OF
men out of employment. ynJ.
That made them think. Standing
lround idle on the street, In company
With other men in the sarle predica
nent, many of whom are dependen:
IN their credit at the grocery for the
next meal, forced thought on this great
ssue of the campaign.
The result will be disastrous to Tay-
er and this in spite of vigorous efforts
1eing made by the administration to
save him.

him the Office of county commissioner

is case of the Office seeking the man

Mr.. Miller has been a hard workins
man all his life, and while he has served
as public servant during nearly ma

little remuneration for his work, ther'
b eing no emoluments at all in some o.

svA1sE. CoJNTr DnMoonAT. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 2,

The coercion plan was worked again
at Alliance Monday night. The Tempo
rary chairman of the meeting stated
that the Morgans would build another
big building like that If Mckinley was
elected. If they need the building and
are favored with government contracts
-and we sincerely hope the Morgan
Engineering company will continue to
he prosperous institution--the COM
pany will build another big building
If 1t needs 1t. If a company that has
the rrice can't I'LL its orders with the
room it has, it will make more room.
That's business under any administra-
tion, and Mr.. Morgan will enjoy making
money under Mr.. Bryan just a3 much
rs he does under Mr. Mckinley. People
who work for living should not permit
themselves to be coerced into voting
against their notions of good govern
ment. No owner of a factory will shut
down his works just because Mr.. Bryan
is president.

TAYLER's SCALP IN DANGER.

Great efforts are being made to save
he scalp of Congressman Tayler, but
he friends of John Henry Morris are
cry active and that excellent gentle
nan Is receiving warm and encouraging
iupport from both Democrats and Re-
)ublicans. Congressman Taylers ap-
oointments in the district have come
plague him, and his well known con-
lection with trusts makes Ii impossi-
Die to get any votes from people who
IRE opposed to these enemies of Ameri-
AN labor. The trusts and the appoint
nents is what is giving Congressman
rayler the most worry. He has appeal
ed to the state committee about the
situation, and the result is that many
etters are being sent out from state
headquarters and from the so-called
Sound Money committee, of Indian
apolis. This committee has evidently
been given TO understand that there Is
grave danger of the Republican ma
jority in this district being overcome
and is sending letters to voters from
indianapolis. One II. II. Hanna is the
chairman of the committee that is send
ing, all the way from Indiana, this ap-
peal for support OF II. w. Tayler. He is
very valuable to a certain set of mo-
nopolists, and they are very much
afraid that he will be defeated. II
there were not some danger Of that be-
ing brought about they would hardly
be going to the trouble to send such ap-
pealing literature to district that has
a normal Republican majority of nearly
5000. So Mr. Tayler is already on the
run. If Democrats will get to work
and make special effort for Mr.. Nor
ris, the defeat Of the Lisbon man can
be brought about. When it gets to a
point that it makes great difference
10 monopoly located in distant states,
who represents the Eighteenth district,
II raises the presumption that the pres
ent incumbent mas been conducting
himself In the interest of these far
away constituents rather than those
nearer home. What we want Is a man
who will represent the business and
laboring interests Of this district. Mr.
Morris just fills that desire.

The people are rapidly finding out
that the British misrepresented matters
all through the campaign in South At
rica and that the American people were
never allowed TO know the truth. off,
cially. What was found out by Ameri-
cans was carefully suppressed in Wash
ington. Consul Macrum came back
with information that was valuable. He
was not even allowed to make his re-
port. Now the facts are leaking out.
Even the Cleveland Leader says the
treatment of the Beers was equally as
bad as the treatment of the Cubans by
Weyler. They say now that the presi-
Dent had as much cause to interfere In
the South African war as to interfere
in the Cuban conflict. 1t is q terrible
story Of loot. murder and rapine that
comes from South Africa. The re-
sponsibility of the American admins
tration cannot be evaded. And the crime
is made doubly serious by the fact that
the administration Is engaged in the
same bloody and disgraceful business

SAYS HE WILL KILL HIMSELF.
Ferrell Threatens Suicide Rath- I,
er Than Die in Chair
Makes One Attempt.

Marysville, o., Nov. 1.-Considerab'c
excitement prevailed here yesterday
over the verdict of murder in the first
degree, with no recommendation of
mercy, against Rosslyn Ferrell, the
slayer of Messenger Lane.
When the prisoners venerable mother,
Mrs. Tobias Ferrell, was notified of til,
verdict, she tainted and was uncon-
scious for several hours. 1t IL feared
that the shock will prove fatal TO her,
as she has been In feeble health for
months. The prisoner was visited this
morning by his father, who endeavor-
ed to console his son. The defendants
sweetheart. Miss Lillian Costellow, Is
almost prostrated with grief over the
verdict.
The first ballot of the Jury Tuesday
night stood ten for first degree murder
with no recommendation for mercy, and
two for life sentence without pardon.
The balloting stood in this manner until
11:15 when the other two jurors voted
with the ten.
When court convened again yesterday
and Judge Melhorn said that he would
hear the arguments for a new trial on
Friday morning. 1t Is said that the
argument will be made on the grounds
that two of the Jurors were sick with
| measles during the trial, and were not
able physically to hear the testimony.
| 1t is also alleged that an argument viii
| be made for a new trial on the ground
that Juror Joseph Hoff was not q
| naturalized citizen.
| Early Wednesday morning Guard
Martin discovered that Ferrell had
taken his blanket and sheet and wrap
ped them around his neck and head.
and, lying upon his face, tried to
emother himself TO death. He fought
Martin when the latter endeavored to
remove the clothing from his head. Fer
rell says he VIII commit suicide rather
than meet death in the electrocuticn
| chair. Sheriff Robinson is using extra
precaution to prevent Ferrell from COM
hitting suicide.
Ferrell was taken sick Wednesday
afternoon and a physician had to be
| called to treat him.
Ferrells mother. his sweetheart and
the latter's mother visited him last night
and left on the evening train for CO.
lumbus.

The address of Hon. John III. Clarke
at Massilon Wednesday night. was a
gem of oratory and logic. Mr.. Clarke
Is in earnest in his advocacy of the
election Of Mr.. Bryan, though not
agreeing with him on all propositions
This very fact indicates the sincerity
that is in the Democratic heart today
and the belief in the minds Of thinking
men that the republic is in danger be-
cause Of the greed and lust for glory
and gain in the hearts Of the admins
tration and its advisers. Mr.. Clarke
presented the issues fairly and dispas-
sionately and left a splendid impress
sion on his hearers.

Reports from New York say that the
most enthusiastic Democrat Of the
campaign has been discovered at Cob
leskill, in the person of one James
Riley Tillisona, we'll digger. He was
working at the bottom Of twenty
eight foot well the other day, when the
sides caved in, burying him, it was
thought so deep that no other burial
would be necessary. Scores of his
townspeople rushed to his rescue. While
they were working for his life there
came through the clay that covered
him, a faint but decided cry. "Hurrah
for Bryan" James was resurrected
and was on the Cobleskill platform still
shouting for Bryan when the Bryan
special arrived there Monday.

Youngstown as $4,000 and Of Akron as
$4,000. In Youngstown the registration
Is something over 10000. In Canton the
registration is something over 5000.
though the population Of Canton is
given at only 10000. II the same ratio
that applies to Youngstown Isl used
for Canton, the population of this city
is over $4,000. If all those who are out

German: "Setz noch einmal auf" This

about Teddy's experiences In the west.
the Honorable Owen howled: "Hau

pie scowled. and the postoffice inspec-
tor gave his friend Oscar glance that
transfxed him, for tipping the wrons
cue. He squared himself little later
when Sheriff Zaiser sang his terrific
ballad. by crying: "Das war heisei

the warmest ever. Mr.. Johannesstonn
