Adam Guth Is inclined to take his
defeat good naturedly although he
could not refrain from saying a few
things in reference to some of the
causes to which he attributes his de-
feat. He believes that the Beacon's
infamous lie, charging that Mr.. Paul
voted In favor Of awarding tho con-
tracts to McCourt and Wildes, for the
East Market street improvement had
much to do with his defeat. He blames
the Beacon for starting the story and
takes Republican Councilman o. A.
Sorrick to task for telling the truth
in reference to tho same. He said:
I'll was foolish in Mr.. Sorrick to al.
low himself to be interviewed by a
Democrat reporter. He should have

When Mr.. A. Breiner returned home
from Columbus last Friday the Beacon
made the boastful announcement that
"Col. Adam Breiner is home from Co
lumbus and will remain in the Fourth
ward until the polls close" This state

the vainglorious custodian of the Sen
ate wash room remained In the Fourth
ward but short time after the polls
closed.

In the late campaign the enemies OF
Mr.. Paul thought it was a good joke
that City Solicitor Esgate had shown
that Councilman Paul was wrong In
his opinion that the contract Of the
city with the Akron water works com.
pany was illegal. Since hearing what
the people of Akron think Of the water
works question, certain Akron officials
will be less likely In the future to Joke
about matter in which the people are
so vitally Interested.

DON'T 90 IT.!

The Democrat ID Informed that the
Board Of City Commissioners will ask
the City Council tonight to authorize
the borrowing OF enough money to
overcome the S05,O00 deficit In the
city's finances.
In other words, there being no
money in the, treasury, the Commis.
sioners want Council to borrow
enough money to run tho city until
more money is paid in by the tax
payers next August.
More than year ago Council served
notice upon the City Commissioners
OF the deplorable condition into which
their reckless expenditures were plung.
ing tho finances Of tho city.
The Commissioners treated the warn
ing OF Council with Indifference, and
went ahead building automobiles, rat
flying franchise grabs, granting con-
tracts, to the highest bidders, improving
streets for the benefit Of the steam
railroads, filing the street and police
departments with political favorites,
and ali at the public expense, Just as
II there We're no limit to the citys
means or the patience Of the people.
And when this policy OF expcnding
the peoples money without regard to
the income had plunged the city into
bankruptcy, the City Commissioners
seemed to enjoy tho spectacle OF the
Dobson papers attempting to shift all
OF the blame to the shoulders of tho
Council.
The Democrat hopes that the exper-
ience of the last two months, In which
the Councllmen Of Akron have been
held up to public ridicule for being n
lot Of incou,petonts and spendthrifts,
has taught both the Democratic and
Republican members Of that honorable
body a lesson. We believe that these
men understand at last the folly OF
softly-worded and velvct-like resist
ance TO the extravagant policies Of the
Board OF Commissioners that have
been so much in evidence since tho
Board became subsidy to the Proxy
system, and that for the future the
determination Of the Council to have
full voice In the control of the citys
financial affairs viii be In keeping with
the powers conferred upon that body
by the City Commissioner law.

the Commissioners tonight when they
ask Council to lift them out Of the pit
into which their own folly has plung-
ed them, that Council will he a party
no longer to the makeshifts and ex-
pedlents by which the Board has
sought to bridge over the crisis in the
city's affairs, and that II the Board
insists upon contracting debts unrea-
sonably in excess Of the city's income
without consulting Council in regard
to the same, that the Board, and not
the Council, must shoulder the public
responsibility for the same.
This is what Council should say to
the Commissioners tonight and 1t
should stand by its determination to
the end. The people will stand by the
Council, no matter what comes so
long as Council has the backbone to
stand UP for the peoples Interests
Let Council cut out few hundred
yards Of the red tape that has hitherto
enabled the Board to persist in its pol
icy of extravaganza, and 1t will win
the lasting gratitude of every taxpay-
or in Akron.

THE RESULT IN AKRON.

THE RESULT IN AKRON.
With Council in which the control.
ling influence continues to be Demo.
cratic, the election of a Democratic
Justice of the Peace and Constable,
and the addition Of one Democratic
member to the Board of Education, the
result of yesterdays election In Akron
is more than usually gratifying to the
Democrats.
AS the question Of the control Of the
Council was the issue in the campaign
to which all 9th sr issues were subordi-
nate, the result cannot be viewed in
any other light than as splendid
victory for the Democratic organiza-
ton.
we know it is not necessary to eau
ton our Democratic friends against
the inference that the election Of
controlling majority of their party to
the Council should be treated as
strictly partisan victory.
Had 1t not been for the worthy co.
operation OF scores or respected and
intelligent Republican citizens In each
of the wards from which Democratic
Councilmen were elected, the returns
would have told different story to.

Democratic Councilmen to remember

runs for the Council from the Second

paper that they were public martyrs be.
cause they had been turned down by
the people for voting to give the peo-
pies franchises away. But the fact
that Mr.. Plske triumphed over all the
combined opposition that these men
and all that the beneficinrles of the
Proxy system could bring to bear
against him, is evidence not only OF
his popularity but of the confidence
of Fourth ward citizens in his integ.
rity.
Mr.. Richard +. Mason. who was
elected to the Council from the Fifth

candidate against whom special

the Courier editorially named last week
as one of the most valuable meh in
the republican party of Iowa, and who
would ably represent this state as one
OF the delegates at large to the re-
publican national convention, has
found it necessary to decline.
A Courier representative while in
Burlington yesterday, called on Mr..
Blythe and asked if he would accept
the honor if it were rendered him. II
appreciate very much the compliment
Of the Courier in bringing nv name
up for. this position" said Mr.. Blythe,
"but really have never given the
matter any thought at all until the
last day or two, and then only be-
cause of the numerous letters ] have
been. receiving from friends, asking if
] would accept the Office. These letters
have compelled me to consider it care
fully. and / regret very much that
matters at this time are such that I
cannot accept the honor, much as l
appreciate it, and the spirit in which
the Courier and my many friends have
SO graciously offered this honor to me.
While 1 am always willing to serve my
party at any and all times. I know
there are plenty of good men in south
eastern Iowa who can even more ably
represent the interests of this great
state than I, and conditions are such
just at this time that I feel in duty
bound to decline"
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Blythe
cannot see his way clear to accept this
Office. Being so eminently qualified for

sentative of IoWa's interests, and his

sims for Attorney General.

The discussion of the possibilities and
the probabilities of the makeup of the
republican state ticket is just opening.
From the expressions Of the state pa
pers and from the views of Iowa po-
litical matters taken by correspondents
OF the Chicago and other metropolitan
papers outside of the state, it seems to
be conceded that Jacob Sims of this
city is the probable nominee of the con-
vention, his candidacy being looked up
on as the leading one. This is very
gratifying to the repu blicans OF his
home district, who are giving him such
enthusiastic and united support and
to his many friends thruout the state
who have expressed in various ways
aheir endorsement Of his candidacy.
Mr.. Sims qualifications for the posi-
ton are unquestioned, and the recog-
milton being given him by the press as
being the leading candidate and the
one most likely to win is so general as
to clearly indicate that the prevailing
sentiment turnout the state is in his
favor.-From the Daily Nonpareil,

REV. sHELDoN's EFFRoNTERY

I. 1t is not strange that Rev. Charles
N. Sheldon's plan to run daily paper
as Jesus would to use his expression,
meets with less favor from gentlemen
gof his vocation than from anybody
else. The latter look upon it with a
sort of wondering and half derisive
curiosity, but the pulpit has been out
spoken in its denunciation.
That is natural and proper. Perhaps
it takes a man whose life has been de-
voted to upholding the pure ideals of
Christianity and imbuing his followers
with the loftiest conception of its
founder, to appreciate the full signifi-
canoe of what Rev. Sheldon is doing.
To a man whose thoughts were fixed
pretty constantly on the nature and
character OF Christ, or who spent much
of his time on the contemplation of his
Sayiour's divine attributes, the sugges-
ton of that Saviour engaged in the
pursuit OF nineteenth century mer-
camille enterprise comes close to being

AN INTERESTING FACT.

One interesting fact which the popo-
cratic national convention and commit
tee can present to the public in re-
Prospect of the four years since Mr..
Bryan's nomination Is the latest data
with reference to the condition of our
treasury. In the convention and cam
paign Of 1895, popocrats insisted that
we must have 'more money! and that
The only way to get this was thru the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver.
The people rejected free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, but they have OBJ
tained more money" and that of the
very best sort. When Mr.. Bryan was
nominated in July, 1896, the amount
of gold and gold certificates in circula-
ton was $48S, 00O, 900; on February l.,
1900, il was $500, 000, 900, while the total
money in circulation on July 1, 1896,
was $1,5OY, DOC. geo, and on February 1,
1890, il was 81, OO3, Q0o, 900. Thus we
have added $5oO, 900 900 to our money

MACRUM's LITTLE JOKE.

The state department has formally
denied the sensational statements of
Mr. Macrum, ex-consul ait Pretoria, in
which he claimed that his mail had
been tampered with and his cable mes
sages refused by a British censor. The
department. has no knowledge Of any
thing of the Mnd ever happening. In
Its document sent to the house of rep
resahtatives che state department. says
it has been in regular Communication
BY mail and telegraph with Macrum,
since his entrance upon the duties Of
his Office. HIS dispatches have been
regularly received, and there is only
one instance OF complaint in respect
to the transit of mails for Pretoria.
This was promptly remedied. The
document states that Macrum while
at his post did not report any instance
of violation by the opening of official
mail by the British censor. In regard
to the secret alliance between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain, it says
that no secret alliance is possible I'M
der the constitution.
From this it is evident that Mr.. Ma
crum must have been in humorous
vein when he gave out his famous in
terview. Perhaps he was moved by a
desire to start a sort of kissing bug
fake. Al any rate it is certain he
could not have been in earnest in his
charges of interference with his mail,
because in that case he would naturally
have gone over into Lourenzo Marques
and cabled the state department re-
monstrance. Or, if he did not want to
do that he would have cabled in ci-
pher from any of the various points
where his steamer called on the way
home. Lacking this, he would, il he
had been in earnest, have gone to
the state department with his remon-
strances Immediately upon reaching
Washington, and would not have hung
3 around for three weeks without maxi
ing sign of complaint.
So we suppose we musb credit the
whole thing up as neat little pleas
4 antry on the part of Mr.. Macrum and
I bewail the fact that we haven't sense
4 Of humor keen enough to appreciate
/ it. As to the secret alliance part of
! st, in view Of whan the state depart
ment says, that must have been the
cream of the whole joke. Well, as
long as it was only in fun we suppose
the people must swallow it, even the
incident OF Mr.. Macrum's running
away from his post of duty without
SO much as Shy your leave" to his
z spperiors at Washington.
