er--The Mayor Discus
ses Hsnna's Fu-
49,. ture.

Findlay. o., Sept. 26, - What about
Mark HANNAH" yelled a man in the
tent last right, Just as Mayor Johnson
was approaching one Of his oratorical
climaxes.
There are many things to say
about Mr. Hanna" replied the speaker
not in the least disturbed by the in
terruption. -..f...
Among other things, Mark Hanna
probably does not realize that his
chances for being next United States
senator from Ohio have grown much
poorer during the last rev weeks.
There are a good many people in the
state who do not care very much who
represents the state in the United
States senate, but they DO care great
deal about obtaining justice here at
home. They are tired of the misdoings
of the present Republican, legislature
and they will next time select repre-
sentatives who will not misrepresent
the people in the interests of the mo-
nocolists and railroad owners. Incl.
dentally these representatives will see
to it that Mr.. Hanna is not given a
reelection
That Mr.. Johnson's prophecy was
thoroughly relished by the crowd was
atsested by the wild yells of approba-
tior. 4t.t
Republican Findlay turned out 5000
strong to listen to Mr.. Bigelow, Mayor
Johnson and Echo M. Heisley at last
nights tent meeting. 1T was but one
more splendid ovation for the cam
paigners to add to their already long
list. This, In spite o: rainy day,
wet grass and sodden tent. Findlay
Democrats declare that with climatic
conditions the crowd which would
have poured in from all over Hancock
courty would have filled the tent twice
over. The meeting was the third sue
cessiye rainy day effort of the pream-
bulatory dispensers of new Democrat
io doctrine. Lima turned out a crowd
of 5000 in pouring rain, Ottawa
showed up with $500 in steady driz-
Zlc and Findlay's representation, after
day of almost continuous rain, was
as great as the tent could hold.

Son ator Nc Milian's
PIaee.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 26.-Af-
ter a long and laborious session. In
which more oratory and enthusiastic
partisan strife were In evidence than
have been seen In the councils Of the
Republican party in this state for many
years. the Republican state convention
yesterday indorsed the senatorial can
didacy OF Gen. Russell A.. Alger, for
mer secretary of war, and nominated
Judge william l.. Carpenter, Of De-
troit for Justice of the supreme court,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Judge Charles s. Long.
Gen. Alger's friends won a great
victory over the supporters Of Dexter
M. Ferry, of Detroit. the test Of
strength having been on a motion to
adopt the minority recommendation
of the committee on resolutions to the
effect that no expression Of sentiment
of the convention on the senatorial
candidacy of any one be taken.
The test vote. by roll call Of coun-
ties, rejected the minority report by a
vote of 427 yeas and 5SS nays. The
majority report which indorsed Gen.
Alger was then adopted without an op-
posing vote amid loud and continued
cheering from the Alger supporters.
The report Of the resolutions COM
mitee eulogized the late Senator Nc
MILAN and Justice Long and conf
mended the state and national admin
istrations. This portion of the report
was unanimously adopted. The great
struggle of the Alger and Ferry forces
followed over the majority and minority
reports of the matter of indorsing Gen.
Alger for United States senator.

There is an old saying which char
acterizes the unwisely parsimonious
man as one who Saves at the spigot

is another expression that is eqanv
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and pound
foolish"
We have often thought that the
man who will allow costly buildings
to fall into decay for the lack of
paint, Is saving ant the spigot and
wasting at the bungholc
Good paint costs money and the
services of a competent painter 70
apply it costs more. but the lack OF
paint on any house costs more
than paint and painter. To save
money by saving paint is PEN
nywise and pound foolish. ANY
building that was worth putting up
in the beginning is worth enough
good paint to preserve it. and sutii-
GENTLY frequent rcpaiutine to con-
tinue the preservation Money spent
in painting is money saved in dste-
rioration.
The modern paint-the best-is not
so awful expensive. and it costs less
to keep "A house well painted than it
requires to keep it in repair when not
painted.
OF course there was a time when
lead and oil We're very expensive and
they were then the only painting MAJ
terials at our disposal.
There was some excuse then for
men shaking their heads when the
question OF painting arose. but in re-
cent years every man can paint his
home and he ought To do it. il for no
other reason. Just to let the world
know that he is a wide-awake and
progressive man.
