The Closing Canvass.

20 ~
fast drawing to a close. Tt has
been one of the most remarkable
in the annals Of American bis
tory. No great excitement, but
little public speaking, very little
talk, and yet an intense feeling on
the subject of the questions in
volvcd in the result of the election.
Why this seeming calmness?
This is certainly one of the most
important election, is SO far MS The
people are concerned, that could
be submitted to free people, nc
less than an entire change of the
fundamental principle upon which
the government exists. The qucs-
ton of acquiring foreign territory
md holding it as colonies, rot by
choice of the people thereof, but
by right of conquest. That this
is the object of the Mckinley nd
ministration there is no longer q
single doubt. What does this i'm
ply? MIR. Depew, republican U.
s. Senator of New York, in pub
lie speech in that State, said:
"You cannot have empire with
out its attributes, and that means
a practical revolution of our form
of government and an abandon
ment of the benefits which the
fathers held when they establish
ed this government in l776."
Again he said, when an army Of
100000 men was being talked Of:
at will take more than that. 1t
W u'dl mean the incre ase of our ar
my to 100000, more likely to 200,-
600 men. 1t would mean the in
crease OF our annual expenditures
to double what they are now.''
We may be told that MIR. Depew
is now supporting Mr.. Mckinley!
So he is, but does that fact make
less true his former statement? By
no means. Mckinley himself has
changed, and Depew would surely
follow the ID into bis fire king
dom if the republican party said
march.
The naked question is: Can we,
as a Republic, annex territory by
conquest and hold it as colonies
Again, how long could the peo-
pie of this great Republic hope to

VIM. II. Withrow.

Without intending to disparage
the claims OF othars, or to draw
invidious comparisons between
the contend,ng candidates for the
votes of the public, We must be
permitted, no rever, to ste TX a
good word for VIM. HI. Withrow,
our candidate for County Auditor.
He having once filled that posi-
ton, aud his ability and faithful
work in the position is All earnest
of what be can and will dpit cleo
ted to that Office again by the vo-
ters Of Harrison County. As a
public officer, he was careful and
industrious, always working for
the; best interests of the public, and
in the discharge of the duties of
his office, he was distinguished for
his kindness, urbanity and strict
attention to all persons calling on
him on official business, knowing
neither politics or religion in his
office, aud always considering the
public interest.
Learned In the law ms to the du-
ties of the County Auditor, quail
fed by education for the position,
extensive acquaintance with the
people of the county and their
wants, sound in his Democracy
but not Radical in his opinions,
and just rs attentive to the call oil
= Republican rs to Democrat or
Populist, and always polite to all.
That he is worthy the confidence
of the people all must admit, and
that his majority should be not
less than five hundred is certain.
AS a citizen he is highly respected
by all, as business man he has
the entire confidence of the public,
as the former County Auditor his
record is clear and satisfactory,
and as he received the unanimous
vote of the fusion convention that
dominated the county ticket, he
has the right to expect vote APP
proving the action of the conven-
ton that selected the candidates
to be voted for. That majority
of the voters of Harrison County
are favorable to the election of
the candidates selected by the flu
sion convention of Democrats and
Populists we have no doubt, and
the only question would seem to
be as to the size of their majority
The leading question is: Will the
friends of these candidates come
,ut and vote? Remember a vote
or VIM. ii. Withrow is vote for
the right man for County Auditor
md if given, will never be regret
ID.
That Harrison County is for
William Jennings Bryan and his
fr1nds, on full vote, there is no
doubt. Let this week be spent in
marshalirg the hosts who desire
such a result and victory is ours.
