a practical basis for comparison. The
change since 1896, when visited
something like 30 out of SS counties, is
remarkable.
In 1896, with widespread panic
and with many Thousand Gold Demo-
Gratis supporting him. Mr.. Mckinley
carried Ohio by only 4s,497. The signs
Of great Democratic victory this
year have alarmed Mr.. Hanna, and
there is evidence of a bold Republican
plot to steal the electoral vote Of Ohio
for Mckinley.
1t is practically certain that Hamil-
ton county will be carried by Bryan or
that the Republican plurality will be
less than 5000.
Changes to Bryan are reported in
most of the factories. The Democrat
ic increase is not so noticeable In
southern Ohio as in the middle and
northern counties. Jones vote for
governor OF 1O6,721 will SO almost
in it's entirety for Bryan.
So great is the danger involved in
Mayor Jones candidacy for Congress
that all the Republican newspapers are
urging the Democrats to refuse to in
dorse him. The Republican leaders
are spending money to elect delegates
to the Democratic Congressional con-
vention, who will refuse to nominate
or indorse any but a straight Demo
cratic candidate.
Mr.. Hanna knows that IL Mr.. Bryan
carries Ohio he will be the next pres
ident. He knows that the candidacy
of Mayor Jones, with Democratic en-
dorsement means not only
the certain election of Jones, but the
loss Of Ohio to Mckinley. The Hanna
machine is concentrating it's efforts in
this district. Every Democrat who
understands the situation is working
for the Endorsement of Jones. Mr..
Cochran, editor of the Toledo Bee"
who formerly opposed the mayor, is
now leading the fight for his indorse-
ment.

VICTORY FOR BRYAN IN OHIO.
ny James CreeIrrar.

A thorough tour Of Ohio convinces
me that Mr. Bryan will carry that
State in November. The Republican
cry of prosperity is answered by the
spectacle of multitudes of idle work
men wandering through this rich COM
monwealth, vainly searching for EN-.
ployment, while scores of factories and
mills, closed by the trusts, stand as
monuments to the brutal and disas.

built up. The cost of living has in
creased and workingmen are feeling
the pinch of distress.

earning $3.50 day year ago, and

The trusts have discharged thousands
and thousands of trained men In order

Let no one deceive himself about the
workingmen of Ohio this year. The

lows obliged to abandon their trades
and beg for work on the public roads
or starve.
Organized and unorganized labor in
Ohio is united against Hanna and Nc
Kinley, but the change is not to be
found among industrial workers. The
Gold Democrats have returned to the
Democratic party throughout the
state, and with few exceptions are
working earnestly for the election Of
Mr.. Bryan. Thousands Of former Re-

concerning the Duty OF Voters In the
Campaign.
New York, Aug. 3O.--(spl)-A few
days ago DR.. George Hepworth Of
Long Beach. l.. l., wrote to former
President Cleveland, asking for an ex.
preston of opinion on the political stu
alton.
He declared that thousands of citi-
zens found themselves greatly en-
barrassed as to their duty on election
day, and that Mr.. Cleveland's large
experience would enable him to give
such advice as would solve the prob
lem and make the way clear. The
following letter is in reply:
puLLdIu iDdy, aug. 80, lOOO.
My Dear Mr.. Hepworth: Your let
ter is received. am quite sure you
wrongly estimate the value of any ex-
preston I might give concerning the
political situation.
r nyt Iat- mo frAo fy-,r
the perplexity which now affiicts thous-
ands of those who love the principles
of true Democracy. In these circum-
stances I am not inclined to advise
others as to their present political
duty. A crisis has arisen when mans
conscience and informed patriotic sense
should be his guide.
Inasmuch, therefore, as neither the
certainty of my ability to rightly ad-
wise nor any call of obligation prompts
me to discuss political conditions,
think l ought TO be permitted, in my
retirement, to avoid the irritation and
abuse which my interference at this
time would inevitably invite. Yours
very truly,

Of more than ordinary interest A
large number attended the early morn
ing service. At 10 o'clock Rev. B. j.
Smoyer preached mastery sermon,
before leaving for his homo in Myers
town, Pa. At 80 Rev, A. Swartz
conducted an interesting service with
the children. 1t was a prayer and
testimony meeting, in which quite a
number of the little ones took an ac-
tive part.
At 2:30 Eddie Witt, the boy preach
err addressed q large congregation.
His theme was the deliverance of
Christ to be crucified. Every eye was
fastened on him, and every ear was
eager to catch every word spoken by
him. Those who hear him once want
TO hear him again.
His sermon was followed by an
evangelistic service, during which sew
en- persons came to the altar as peni-
tents, Ave of whom professed saving
faith in Christ. Shouts Of praise and
loud hallelujahs 6oated in the breeze
and re-echoed In the forest At 6
o'clock evangelistic efforts were con-
tinued, and several came to Christ.
At 7:30 Rev. ]. Wikessinger preached
another forceful sermon. His reason
ing was argumentative and conclusive
according to the word" His appeals
to the unconverted were pathetic and
startling. Deep conviction prevailed,
and some yielded. The after service
continued later than usual and We're

Marion County by Governor Pennoyer
July l, 1891, and held the office up TO
July 2, 1892. He sat with two Republi-
