THE policy and party management
of the Union Republicans, were marked
out in the State Convention Of 1897 and
the lines must be strictly adhered to
now.
The Union Republicans in the past
have generously offered to divide the
ticket and all offices equally, half and
half; even at the last session Of the leg
islature, they proposed with their
twenty-five votes to select one Senator,
and to give the minority Republicans
of seven, the choice of their own candi-
date; this they CONTEMPORARY refusedi
they demanded that they should have
the right to select both.
At a conference in proposed deal
with the Democrats, they even insisted
who the Democrat should be, hence the
vacancy of two Senators from Della
ware. Union Republicans have nevel
so stulti6ed themselves, and it SEEM
to us that the slogan in the future a
s regards the Offices should be "sll o
D nome"
The people tell US to make no NOR
overtures, bargains, or alliances with tn
Regulars, as they deceive and cheat us

The brother-in-law and the judge who

A correspondent called upon Cannon in
the county jail to convey the news of the
passage of the bill Cannon was by no
means surprised and simply said:

SOLUTION OF A MYSTERY.
Alarming Appearance Of Words I'm
Spider Webs ut Toledo and
Their Origin.

Toledo's wonderful spider web mys-
terry has at last been cleared up. Sew
eral days ago thousands of Toledo peo-
pie focked to point on Canton ave-
nue.. near the courthouse, where in
plain letters on spider web appeared
the words ''My Jim" and Murder"
What made the denizens of that local
ity shudder every time they looked at
it or thought about it was the fact
that the web was spun at the corner of
house in which Jim Lee, a colored
man, had been murdered day or two
before. The letters were of white,
while the web appeared few shades
darker. Yet it was the belief of ev-
erybody who saw it that it could not
have been the work Of human hands,
reports Toledo correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Names appeared on other spider
webs. but the mystery remained un-
