point of attack was two miles east of

shape of good hot tea and coffee Of
the ". C. T. U. kind, and when all
had eaten of the good cheer provided
by the raiders, order was called. The
occasion of the demonstration was
the fact that Mr.. and Mrs. HUFF will

to give them farewell visit. After
very pleasant visit members Of the

Ohio Republican Landslide.

While various other causes for
the result are mentioned by the
Democrats, including the superior
organization Of the Republicans,
the Republican leaders say their
success was mostly due to the en-

and the desire to perpetuate the
principles that were promulgated
by Mckinley when he became

gains, and in Cleveland, where
