fruit. in Cambridge the storms were
the worst since 1876. Buildings were
much damaged and shipping as well.

ROBERTS WANTS MORE TROOPS.
Is Adopting More Drastie Measures
With the Burghars.

NEW YORK. Aug. PA dispatch to
the Tribune from London SAYS:
Lord Roberts proclamation in regard
TO the Transvaal burghers who take the
oath of neutrality in the future has
beer received with approval here. It
is an undoubted fact that Lord Rob-
erts' policy Of so-called leniency has
been unpopular in Great Britain for
some time pastand public opinion has
beer urging that more severe measures
should be taken
The effect of the cOmmander-in-
chiefs proclamation will be that all
those burghers who have not taken the
oath Of allegiance to the queen may be
treated as prisoners of war and re-
moved from the country. It is un-
doubtedly unprecedented TO regard a
civilian population of an invaded ter
ritory when unarmed as If they were
the enemy's troops. but II is maintained
in fact that the rransvaal burghers
are all actual or potential combatants,
and it is impossible to make distinctions
between those in the field and those on
the farms.
The farmers. therefore. must choose.
They must either Loyalty become British
subjects or else they must be deemed
to have thrown in their lot with the
queens enemies. If they take the oath
and violate it, Lord Roberts threatens
them with Imprisonment or death. and
the farms and buildings Of all persons
aiding and abetting the Boer forces VIII
be confiscated or destroyed.
Even the opposition journals. which
dislike the war. do not for the most
part object to these drastic measures,
pOinting OuT that N the intprpcte Of ff1a
Beers themselves. as well as the Brit
ish. it is necessary that the campaign
should be brought to a conclusion. and
the burghers taught the futility of re-
sistance It is admitted. however. that
the adoption Of this policy must inten-
sify the savage and bitter character
which the struggle has now assumed,
and that the immediate effect is likely
TO be a considerable accession to the
numbers of De Wet and other COM
manders in the field.
Orders have been sent to Aldershot
for fresh drafts Of reinforcements TO be
prepared for South Africa, so that it
doesn't look as If the hope Of the min
istry that a large proportion Of Cen
eral Roberts army may be brought
back in September is at all likely TO
be fulfilled.

THE BIG CITIES
OF THE COUNTRY
Enough Is Known to Definitely
Define the Groups.
THERE MAY BE FIFTEEN CITIES
Between the 100000 and 100000 Mark
Not Less Than Thirty Five Will show
From 100000
On Up.

Enough is known of the results Of the
census to make 1t possible to define
some of the groups of the larger cities
of the United States, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. 1t Is certain that
one stands above 3,0O0, 200; that two are
between 1900, 900 and 100000; that the
next group is a bunch Of three cities
between 100000 and 100000. and that
next follow five cities which have more
than 100000 and less than 100000 people.
In the space between 100000 and 100000
there are eight cities.
The number standing over 100000 and
under 200, Is uncertain, because sew
eral places which are near the 100000
limit have not yet been reported. 1t is
evident that not less than fifteen cities
will be placed between the 100000 and
200, 900 limits. There may be more than
twenty Of them. Altogether the num-
Der of cities standing above 100000 will
be from thirty-five to forty-five.
That means a very great increase
since 1890, when the number Of places
above the 100000 mark was only twen-
ty-eight, including Brooklyn, which has
since disappeared from the list OF
American cities.
| No other country in the world has
witnessed such a drift of population
into big cities, and nowhere else have
the number and size of great towns
! increased as fast as in the United
States. Ten years hence this country
will beat the entire British Empire
including teeming India, in the num-
ber and aggregate population Of its
cities of 100000 or upwards.
A despatch from Washington says:
Director Merriman, Of the census
bureau, is confident that the completed
count will show that the United States
numbers nearly S0,000,0O0 souls within
its boundaries, exclusive Of Hawaii
Porto Rico and the Philippines. The
count of the 80 largest cities alone
shows 13,243,515. and these, with the
township districts already added up
make total of more than 3O,0O0.0OO.
| Gov. Merriam is confident that the
complete returns will be in shape fol
presentation to congress by the time
that body meets in December. If con-
gres takes up the question of reappor-
tionment Of the representatives under
! the new count, Sc additional members
would be added to the S27 now seated
The house chamber in the capitol
would have to be enlarged to accom-
modate the new members. as the desk
and chair space is already overcrowd-
ed, and about s35O.OOO would be added
to the salary and mileage list.

THE PRESENT CONTEST.
The foregoing will be fruitful in max
ing comparisons and will tend to show
that the Eighteenth district is not so
safely Republican that 1t has not
been changed and that the most un-
expected is liable to happen in politics.
While II seems task to carry the dis
trict for Democrat, 1t has been done
and in times 1t has not been done the
vote has varied to the extent that 1t Is
shown that there is a large number Of
Independent voters in the district.
They go as the crowd goes and there
are delegates at this convention that
have proof at hand that In various
sections of the district changes are
taking place that are likely to produce
the landslide hoped for as in former
years. In fact the reports tend to the
conclusion that the changes are better
this year at the outset, than In years
when the Democratic candidates were

THE THOMAN CAMPAIGN.
In 1880 Stark county found herself
again in the company Of her smafl
neighbors to the south and east. The
district had again been changed by a
partisan legislature for the benefit OF
somebody somewhere in the state, and
was composed Of Stark, Columbiana,
Mahoning and Carroll. Judge Thoman.
OF Mahoning county, was named by the
Democrats. and the Republicans again
gave William Mckinley unanimous

That was the end of Mckinley, in
the congressional fights. 1t has been
insisted, and with some degree of
plausibility, that If Mckinley had
been allowed to remain in congress, he
would never have been president of the
United States. Judge William r. Day,
at a meeting held on the public square
in Canton, some time later, at which
Mr.. Mckinley was present, said
when they gerrymandered William
Mckinley out Of congress. they builded

was propably building wiser than he
knew also. for his own future, but the
fact seems to remain that 1t was the
gerrymander that made Mckinley
governor and gave him the prestige
that later made him president. His
influence broadened, 30 far as the dis

During the succeeding two years a
Democratic legislature saw fit to ger
rymander the Ohio districts again and
cut out district for Congressman Nc
Kinley, out Of which 1t was purposed to
cut him. The district was composed Of
Stark, Medina, Wayne and Holmes.
Everyone remembers that memorable
campaign. There was a spirit prevail
ent that fair play had not been ac-
corded Mr.. Mckinley, and that drew to
his support great amount Of foreign
oratory and wealth. John G. Warwick
had been nominated by the Democrats
after a bitter contest and though the
district was strongly Democratic, Nc
Kinley was defeated by only the follow

During the next two years many
things occurred that did not serve to
popularize the Republican party nor its
representative from the Eighteenth
Ohio district. When the Democrats

Having gained some prestige from
that campaign, when Mr.. Mckinley
came up for Office again, which was,
as has been quite customary. at the
next regular election, in 1888 it was
found that he was still placed in his old
district, Stark. Carroll, Mahoning and

the Republicans made gain in the
district. the vote being:

ldyic
Tayler's majority, 1t will be seen,
was. only $40.
THE SHERWOOD CAMPAIGN
Mr.. Tayler had, as an opponent, in
1896, General l. r. Sherwood. In an
ordinary year no man in the district
would have made a stronger run than
General Sherwood. He had organized
labor endorsements besides his own
personal worth and sterling Democracy.
But Mr.. Mckinley was running for
president and the counties in the dis
trict were lined up for him. Congress-
man Taylor had done nothing in con-
gress that would antagonize those Of
the Mckinley school and he easily
went through with the aid Of the i'm
mense amount of campaigning done in
Canton for the Republican national
ticket. The effect Of this campaign
was noticeable in the county elections
in the district and things well all
one way, though in contiguous districts
Democratic gains were prevalent. The
vote stood:

pride wall has gone up during every
campaign since that time, with The re-
suit that Stark county Democrats are
not represented in a county Office by
even so much as an overworked and
underpaid janitorship. But that is
another story.

The next congressional campaign
was Of the fast and furious sort. The
Republicans renamed Mckinley and
the Democrats nominated q rising
young orator and editor, Wallace H.
Phelps, of Alliance, then the editor of
the Alliance Leader, now editor Of the
Alliance Review.
THE PHELPS CAMPAIGN
was fought out in every corner of the
district and at every crossroads. 1t
was campaign Of oratory and educa-
ton and Phelps proved to be a politi-
cal sprinter Of great prowess. He gave
Mr.. Mckinley a chase up and down the
district that made the oldest inhabi-
tant wonder but when the votes were
counted the discovery was made that
the majority had been reduced,
though the Republican candidate had
been successful. That was in 1886
The district was composed as it is now,

THE PAGE CAMPAIGN.
The experience in the Wallace cam
paign demonstrated Mahonging, Car
roll and Columbiana could not Away
be depended upon to support the Can
ton idol, and when election for congess
man rolled around again 1t was founC
that a legislature had wisely put Mr.
Mckinley into another district, com
posed of Stark, Summit, Medina anS
Wayne. 1t was thought that Medint
and Summit wonld do the business anc
they did. The Democrats nominated
Page, Of Akron, to offset the Sunni
county Mckinley vote, but it did no
avail and the vote resulted:

So it may be readily seen that the
Eighteenth district is a peculiar insti-
tuition, and If a man who, it Is claimed,
was never really nominated, can be
elected, what is to be hoped for a man
upon whom a united Democracy Is
thoroughly united?
