J. H. MORRIS FOR CONGRESS.
youngstown Vindicator.)

The nomination of Mr.. J. H. Morris,
of Youngstown, by the convention at
Alliance, as the Democratic candidate
for congress was not only the expected,
but the part of wisdom.
Ordinarily this district Is hopelessly
Republican, but through the tactics Of
Mr.. Tayler, present representative, to
fasten himself upon his party and the
people indefinitely, there is widespread
dissatisfaction. To nominate a man
who could not only hold as a unit the
Democratic vote Of the district, but
draw and centralize upon himself the
disaffected element Of the opposition,
was the wisdom Of the Alliance conven-
tion. That Mr.. Morris can do this to a
greater extent than any man In the dis
trict, Is undoubtedly true. In business
circles, no man holds a higher position
than Mr.. ]. II. Morris, and throughout
the valley, no name is more familiar
with the people in all the walks of life.
Farmers, builders and laborers for
years have enjoyed business relations
with him in the purchase Of supplies in
their several callings, and his person.
ality as well as name Is an intimate
association. Mr.. Morris has always
been an active Democratic worker
though not Of the character to repel,
but rather attract those holding diff
ferent political views, maintaining that
to all men belonged the right Of opinion
without accountability beyond his own
conscience, citizenship and country.

majesty on the Republican ticket they
would vote for the fellow with the hoofs
and horns. But 1t was in New England
that the cradle of liberty was rocked
and they love liberty UP there. Some
Of them were able to see the danger
that threatened the republic and the
result was a slump Of 15 per cent in the
Republican vote. Now, IL a gain of l5
per cent can be made with such a
bigoted class of Republicans to work
on, how much more gain can be made
in Ohio and other states where the
people have a habit of thinking about
things and where there is a floating
vote-a thing that was not true In Ver-
mont? And what would gain of 10
per cent mean in Ohio? 1t would mean
that Bryan, on the figures Of 1896, would
carry the state by nearly 10000. And
does anyone believe that, If gain Of 15
per. cent can be secured in rock-ribbed
Vermont even a greater gain cannot
be secured in Ohio? 1t would be well
for Democrats to consider these mat
ters and prepare to get out the Demo-
cratic vote. With the full vote out
the recruits will furnish the majority.
Ohio Is a Democratic state by 5000, on
the face of the returns from Vermont.

If the vote that went to Mayor
Jones in 1899 goes to Bryan-and there
is no reason why 1t should not-Ohio Is
safely in the Bryan column without
any further Republican discffection.
There Is a reason to believe that he will.
Mayor Jones Is himself for Bryan. He
wrote to a Cleveland friend inC.cating
in every line that he would be for the
Democratic standard bearer. Here is a
portion Of his letter:
II intend to be in the coming cam
paign, giving all the strength and in
fluence that have to the cause of truth,
to the cause of Liberty, Equality and
Democracy. l intend to plead for prin-
ciples, and to ignore parties and persons
as far as possible; in short, intend to
speak the truth regarding a scientific
and political relation as best can. I
do not believe in war at all, and shall
say so in the future, as I
have in the past.
II do not believe that government can
derive Just power in any other way
than by the consent Of the governed.
believe in equality, in democracy. I
think to much greater extent even
than Mr.. Bryan does My only hope

word, Education. / think the political

OaIO ii DEMOCRATIC.

Have you figured what a loss of Is
per cent In the Republican vote in ver-
mont means? Remember that strenu-
GUS effort was made by the Republican
national committee to make a big show
ing there, because of the effect the
vote was likely to have on the vote
in other states in November. Recall
that money and speakers were dumped
Into the state to stir the old Republicans
to action. Recall that no stone was left
unturned to get out the vote and then
remember the kind Of material the Re-
publican management had to work on.

SEDATE MIR. COCK.

A local contemporary interviewed
Local Supervisor Cock, of the late al
legged census, and under the caption
It's o. K.," quotes that gentleman and
seems very well satisfied with his
figures. So far as that paper is concern
ed, we are not taking issue. That paper
may be satisfied and nobody will care
to wake anybody up that wants to sleep,
but Mr.. Cock ought not to insist upon
ngures that he did not personally Sc
cure. Mr.. Cock simply added them up,
after the blind the lame and the halt
had brought them in. He hadn't any
thing to do with missing a lot Of them
or leaving the old soldiers out, as .sug-
gested by Sheriff Zaiser. He acted
largely in the capacity OF an adder, and
ran up the columns and down them
again and got a result that shows he
is, at least, degree patriotic, for he
beat the Washington machine additions
55 people, for which small favor 1t is
desired to return thanks. But 1t was
hardly supposed that Mr.. Cock would
go back on figures that he aided to
compile. Whether he is good witness
suggests itself per Sc. and whether the
figures will have to be accepted because
he says SO is question that belongs
to the public. Nobody is taking issue
with Mr.. Cock about anything, save
possibly his undue prominence In the
sedate interview labeled 20. K" We
are taking no exceptions to him.
When we quarrel with anybody about
the census we want to quarrel with
somebody that knows something about
it.

WHERE Tue BLAME LIES.

If the returns of the Canton census
are correct, and are accepted as the
proper figures, the city has received a
blow from which it will not recover for
years. A great many people of Canton
decline to believe they are correct and
people in outside cities, who have had
business dealings with the city, are
greatly surprised at the showing. But
If they are correct, 1t is a sad commen-
tary on the enterprise of the citizens of
a city that cannot be equalled any
where in environment and natural ad-
vantages. There are hundreds of rea-
sons why Canton should grow and only
one why 1t does not grow, If, in fact it
does not. That reason lies with the
people Of the city themselves. There
is ample capital here and it ought to be
employed. Other cities see that indus
tries do not leave. Other cities get up
on their hind legs and howl and get
out injunctions and do lot of things
when trusts invade the city and close
factories for the securing Of which sites
and money were furnished. Other
cities saw, also, that their census
enumerators did their full duty. They
lided them in their work and did 1t in |
IN organized way. That is why, since
'anton didn't do that, we are Of opinion
hat all were not counted. But, as
tated, If that census is right, then
anton belongs to the has-been class
nd the people who have the means
nd have refused to employ them, or
ho have not lent their efforts for the
lrthering of the city's interests, are to
anne for the conditions. It Is about
me to quit being satisfied with SPELL (

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

Candidate Mckinley has given out
his letter of acceptance and in it are
found his views upon the Philippines
the views, not of Mckinley the presi-
dent, but Of Mckinley, the candidate
Mckinley is usually hard to place;
he wabbes until public sentiment be-
comes marked, and then declares with
the popular accord. This time he has
taken the other side of the question.
He boldly declares that we have a right
to own and rule the Philippines, and de-
tends his imperialistic policy at some
length. In his defense he says
''Nor can we permit Spain to trans
Ter any OF the islands to another power.
Nor can we invite another power or
powers to join the United States in
sovereignty over them. We must either
hold them or turn them back to Spain."
This is the keynote of McKinley's idea
regarding the territory acquired from
Spain. He forgets that the war was not
to obtain sovereignty but to liberate an
enthralled people. The people of the
United States thought they fought the
war for liberty's sake; but Mckinley
would have them believe they fought
to become the masters Of a conquered
people. His idea is that some foreign
nation must rule; and IL 80. why not the
United States? He forgets that the
Filipinos fought 20 years to throw of
the yoke of Spain. That they desire
the United States to definitely state
that they will be given a government of
their owL-under our protection II nec-
essary-as an assurance that they and
their children will not be subjected to
carpet bag rule.
Further along Ia his letter Of accept
ance Mckinley declares that "Our
title is good" and says:
1T II worthy of note that no one out
nlde OF the United States disputes the
fullness and integrity OF the cession."

after explaining that he had been rob-
bed Of his pocketbook, asked for about
$50 until he received draft.
Next day he received his draft on a
Montreal bank for $500. This he de-
posted with the cashier, and, after
having the $50 deducted, was handed
$500 cash, SO that he might not be short.
He went out again, and the hotel men
STILL AWAIT HIS RETURN.
On the following day, Mr.. Smith, the
clerk, received y note with Baltimore
postmark. The contents of the letter
were written on q little card, similar to
those with which the Hmdoo had done
his money trick, and were as follows:
II herewith send you 5000, my indebt-
edness to you, including the draft which
you cashed for me. / am obliged by
your noble kindness.
"RANJI JANTRA."
The clerk examined every inch of
both the envelope and the card. but
found not a cent. Then 1t dawned upon
him that the Hindoo had incloaed the
cash in the card. as per his trick. The
pasteboad was split, but no money came
to view.> tEA a. .aBss3

empire, would entertain the same views
as the people of free America. That we
have q president who contrasts the
views of free men with those Of serfs
and draws deductions to the disadvan-
tage Of the free, shows how far impe-
rialism has invaded our government.
Mckinley concludes with the state
ment:
There were those who two years ago
were rushing us on to war with Spain,
who are unwilling now to accept its
clear consequence"
The truth is that Mckinley was
forced to war by the indignation of
the people over the wrongs of Cuba
and the blowing up of the Maine. The
last named act was considered by the
people to be ample cause for the United
States to free the Spanish colonies from
their monarchical yoke. Mckinley,
forced to a war for freedom, changed
1t to a war of conquest and now has
insulted the intelligence of the people
by charging them with the instigation
of his handiwork.
Place a man of the people like Bryan
in charge Of the nations affairs, and
there will be no need of all this ver-
biage, and all these excuses. Freedom
for the oppressed mall the world and
release from bondage imposed by force
is the desire that prevails in the hearts
CT the masses of the United States; and
these are the principles that Bryan rep
resents.

There can be no question as to Mr.. Nor
ris' ability or fitness for the Office TO
which he aspires. At the present time
Robert w. Tayler, who has grown gray,
so to speak, in the Office which he now
holds, has aspirations similar to Mr..
Morris. 1t is a hard, long row to hoe
for democrat to land in congress from
this district. 1t has been dome, however,
and may be done again. One thing H.
certain, If any democrat can win from
Tayler Morris is the man. Tayler Is
weaker in this district this year than
ever before, and the chances are that
much of his half-hearted support will
not hesitate long to GO over to the fold
of such an able, fair man as the present
democratic nominee. We guess that the
Hon. Bob, who is now speech making
in the state of Maine, will hear of the
of Mr.. Morris with pangs Of

was told the president did not receive

went away. Saturday she came again

The messengers and watchmen on duty

her to leave the house. She grew more
excited, however, crying Historically,
and at last a carriage from the house

was led down the basement stairs and
through the flower garden at the east
front of the house. While being as
sisted into the carriage. she screamed
at the top Of her voice, which attracted
the attention Of the president. who was
at his desk In his cabinet room. He
went to the window overlooking the
