We think the suggestion by the
Monroe County Sun to the effect
that applicants for pardons pub
lish notice of their intentions in
some newspaper published in the
county where the conviction was
had, is a good one. The Sun
says; "As most pardons are
gotten through friends of the
convict who solicit the aid and
influence Of those known to be
favorable, the publication would
at least acquaint the public with
the effort and give opportunity
for protest if anybody wished to
make it"

M'KINLEY's MUSICAL MASCOT.
(From the New York WORLDLY

(From the New York WORLDLY
Canton's Grand Army band is Mr.
McKinley's musical mascot. 1t has
played at every convention that has
nominated him for any office to which
he was elected. The only time he was
nominated and not elected, was in the
fall of 1890. The band was not there, but
! the smart of his tariff law was. Some
of the greatest men have not been free
from small superstitions. Napoleon
thought "M' was his fateful and fortu-
nate letter and the violet his lucky
flower. And Mr.. Mckinley pins his
faith to the martial strains Of Canton's
Grand Army band.
So to Philadelphia that famous COM
pany of musical artists is surely going.
1t will play, of course, a new program
of pieces selected with due regard for
the occasion. There will be an Imperial
Waltz, a Presidential Two-Step, a Col
onial Fantasy, bringing in the native
airs of Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines, and a potpourri of
British and American airs, including
Kipling's Absent Minded Beggar' and
America" which will answer also for
God Save the Queen" And perhaps,
by way CT a delicate reference to the
stealing festival in Cuba, the mascot
band might reel off 1.-THE Rogue's
March" at some opportune point in the
second-term convention.

From among the questions of par
ticular concern of the people of our own
state, the Democratic party should, in
my humble judgment, define its posi-
tion in plain, unmistakable terms on
| the following, and substantially as fol-
lows:
1st Municipal reform; Savoring the
enactment of law establishing a uni
form system of government for cities
and villages throughout the state; mu-
nicipal ownership of natural monopo-
lies; and the granting of no franchises
except upon reasonable payment there
for, subject to the approval by the
people expressed by popular vote.
| I'd. Proper recognition and regard
| should be paid to the demands of Or
ganized labor. The great majority of
| Democratic voters are in sympathy,
and have interests in common with, Or
ganized labor, and the attitude of the
party with reference thereto ought to be
in accord with the will of such ma
jority.
Sd. The Democratic party in this
state, as elsewhere, is chiefly compris-
ed of these truly loyal and patriotic
classes of citizens usually referred to
plainly manifest it's abiding confidence
in their judgment and integrity. To
this end a plank favoring, so far as
dunn should be embodied in the plat
form.
4th. The Nicaragua canal; favoring
its construction and sole and absolute
ownership and control by the United
States.
5th. Demand the discharge of our
plain duty" toward Porto Rico and
repudiate the infamous doctrine that
congress, a creature of the constitution,
can exercise lawful powers over land
or people to which the constitution it.
self does not apply.
9Th. United States senators should
be elected by direct vote of the people,
and the party should demand a consti-
tutional amendment providing therefor.
On the three issues that will form the
basis for discussion this year, the mon
ey question, the trusts and Imperialism
and militarism, the Ohio Democratic
platform should be forerunner of the
national platform.
AS to the money question, the Chica-
go platform of 1896 should not only be
reaffirmed, but reafiirmed with a special
declaration of our faith in and adhe-
renee to the principles Of bimetalism
at a ratio of 16 to /.
The increased volume Of circulating
medium, due to the discovery and in
creased production of gold and the
free coinage" of national bank notes,
and the probable inability to secure
legislation on the money question with
in the next five years because of the
goldbug majority in the United States
senate, etc., ETC., afford no reasons for
eliminating from the money question
the vital features of ratio.
To eliminate the "16 to 1" ration
would be practical repudiation Of our
position in 1896. Again, to be for free

Democrats in congress were entirely
consistent in their position against the
Republican attempt to abolish the
rights of states and pass trust bill that
would throw matters into congress. All
that would then be necessary for Re-
publicans would be to keep congress or
to keep the senate and nothing could
be done against trusts. The Democrats
believe that general law can be found
that will not interfere with the rights
of states and they voted for that law
when they had an opportunity. The
Republican party has no intention of
doing anything against trusts.

metallism' simply in 1900, then for
free coinage at 16 to T. again in 1904,
would subject our party to the just
and effectual charge that 1t was using
the money question as a matter Of ex-
pediency with which to meet the tenn
porary emergencies.
am perfectly willing that the Repub-
lican party retain its monopoly on du-
plicity, jugglery and political inconsis-
tency on this great question, and that
William Mckinley go down in history
as the greatest political contortionist
and acrobat the world has ever known.
Men must be willing to go to great
principles, and not ask great principles
to come to them, and the infinite value
| of Mr.. Bryan's services to the Demo-
cratic party and the great masses of
American people through his refusal
to sanction or approve of the elimina-
tion of a specific ratio from the money
question will be fully appreciated by
! the party and the people when this
great question Is settled finally and
right.
On the trust question, the platform
should be clear of ambiguity and force
| full in it's declarations against trusts
The great mass of toilers and producers
are being forced by experience to know
that the much boasted prosperity of
the country is not being shared by them
| in full and just measure, as compared
with that enjoyed by capital.
The jugglery and subterfuge resorted
to by the money baggers in an effort to
delude the laboring and farming inter-
/ ests into a belief that relief against
| trusts and monopolies will ultimately
be attained through the Republican
party should be. exposed through full
and fearless declaration on the part of
the Democratic party.
On the question of Imperialism and
| militarism, the Democratic party is in
accord with the vast majority of the
people of the country. The mainte-
nance of large standing army and the
| consequent heavy taxation Of our peo-
| pie are not in accord with the teachings
| of our fathers or the institutions on
| which our government has so success
| fully builded.
A strict adherence to the principles
Of the Declaration of Independence and
of the Constitution is an absolute ne
cessity If we would perpetuate and raise
| in the scale of nations our republic, and
the tendency of the Republican party
and the present administration to aban-
| don the Declaration Of Independence
and the Constitution, and involve our
people in constant, and too likely per-
petual war for conquest, should be ex-
posed and condemned in no uncertain
| terms.
While do not believe that the above
are all the questions that will be, or
ought to be, embodied in the next Dem
ocratic platform Of Ohio, believ- chey
include the most important ones.
With best wishes for the success Of
the people through their only safe me-
dium, the Democratic party, l am,
yours very truly,
