In many Years.
Youngstown vindicator: Hon. An
thony Howells, of Massillon, Is In
Youngstown. Mr.. Howells, who was
formerly resident of this city, and who
still owns much valuable property
here, was consul to Cardiff, Wales. un-
under the'last Cleveland administration
He has held many Offices Of Importance
has also been a state senator. There are
few men in the state Of Ohio better able
to Judge the political situation than he
Is.
A Vindicator reporter had a pleasant
talk with Mr.. Howells for a few min
utes on Tuesday afternoon in reference
to the outcome of the pending cam
paign.
What do you find the sentiment Of
the country?" asked the reporter.
1.-THE prospects of Democratic sue
cess were never brighter than they are
now" was Mr. Howells' reply. 1.-THE
whole country seems to be against the
administrators imperial policy. I do
not know of man who voted for Mr.
Bryan in 1895 who will not do so this
year. Then again he will receive at
least 80 per cent of the so-called Gold
Democratic vote. This will amount tc
a great deal more than most people be-
lieve. Many of the Gold Democrats in
1896 voted direct for Mckinley, and
in this way the strength of the revolt
against the ticket was not made as
plain as It might have been had they
voted for Palmer and Buckner.
STARK CoUNTY's VOTE.
'T believe that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected. Stark county will do better for
the Democratic candidates this year
than for many years past. The great
number of Democrats who have voted
for Mckinley again and again on ac-
count of local pride will return to their
old love this year. They have elevated
their fellow townsman to the highest
gift in their power, and see nothing to
gain in voting against their principles
this year. The imperialistic tendency
Of the administration will lose many
votes in Stark county the same as It
will all over the country"
"Mr. Bryan has improved his chances
business men are not afraid Of the as
cendancy of.the party he represents. I
look for a sweeping victory. Mr.. Nc
Kinley has big load to carry in the
trust and imperial questions, and the
people are placing the blame right
where 1t belongs. Mr.. Bryan has said
that he will check the growth of the
trusts and the country knows that he
win do all in his power to bring about
such a result"
CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.
what do you find encouraging in the
congressional situation?" was asked.
STARK county will give Mr.. Morris
large vote. He will run away ahead Of
the ticket in the western part of the
county. In Canton and Alliance he
will also lead the ticket There is no
use denying the fact that Mr.. Morris is
an exceptionally strong man, and he
will give a good account Of himself
when the votes are counted. From
present Indications he ought to be VIC
torious over Mr. Tayler."
Mr.. Howells left for home over the
Pennsylvania. There Is probability
that he will deliver an address in thu
opera house in this city before the
close Of the campaign. Mr.. Howells'
convention seconding the nomination of
Mr.. Morris, was one of the best ever
delivered in this section Of the state.
When he comes here he will be greeted
by packed house.
