COMMUNICATED }
TO THE PUBLIC AND FRIENDS OF
BALDWIN'S rIARIETTA BAND.

Having been repeatedly asked why
we were not engaged to play for the
coming Chautauqua to be held in this
! city, we take this method OF explaining
our position in regard to it.
Last year we did everything in our
power to secure the engagement, and
submitted to the committee "A PROPOSE
| ton that was at least two hundred and
fifty dollars (S25000) less than the
amount they paid to band from an
other city; our proposition was very
promptly rejected and we were ignored.
Therefore, when we were approached
this year by Prof. s. V. Sanford in re-
gard to the engagement for this year,
we did not think it advisable to sub
NIT any more propositions without
some hope of their being entertained,
and to avoid being slapped" in the face
a second time, our manager stated to
Mr.. Sanford that il the Chautauqua
truly" desired our band to furnish the
music, that we were ever ready to do
what was right in the matter, and il
they would submit US proposition,
stating how many men they desired us
to furnish and how much they would
be willing to pay "home institution"
we would take the matter up with
them and endeavor to come to an agree
ment. He (Sanford) readily agreed to
this, and promised to call the commit
tee together and submit Us PROPOSE
ton of this nature at once. This prop
osition has never been made.
We have never refused TO play for
them as has been reported, but on the
contrary have always tried to show our
willingness to play for the people of
Marietta, and have only asked and re-
ceived pay" for one engagement, al
| though the band has been in existence
about two years. We have furnished
music on several occasions however.
| 1t is we'll known fact that this band
is self supporting institution and has
never asked the citizens of Marietta to
contribute one cent to its support.
/ Now as to whether we are competent
/ to furnish the music, we leave that to
our friends ard the public who have
heard US play to judge. We have filed
engagements in other cities however
| twice the size of Marietta and have
given entire satisfaction.
Another fact we desire noted is that
every member of cur band is citizen
and belong to the best families in NJ i
eta, and every cent they would .
received from this engagement VT
have been spent here, and not car 4
off to some other town.
Again we fail to see why we, as a
band, should be "thrashed over tho
head" $50 to speak, simply becaus &
personal matter against one of Jar
members.
With the above stated facts, we leave
the matter to fair minded public and
our friends to say where 1.-THE niger in
the wood-pile" is.

COME AHEAD.

1t is sincerely hoped by the Demo-
Gratis that Grandma Beacon, after hav-
ing started an attack on Mr.. Fillius'
record in connection with affairs of
the new Jail, will have courage enough
to keep up the fight. BY some acci-
dent she has touched upon live issue,
one in which every taxpayer in the
county is interested, and it is hoped
that she will keep ON with the discus
sion. Her conduct in this matter has
given the Democrats an opportunity
whose advent into politics is hailed
with delight by all the friends of Mr..
Fillius. Enough good things cannot
be said about it, on the side of Mr..
Fillius aud the taxpayers. Every
Democrat In Summit county is proud
of him, and the stand he took in all
the Jail matters. The. patriotism of
Democracy has been aroused, and tho
voters Of the party, reinforced by hun
dreds of Republicans who deplore the
Jail extravaganza, will stand by him
to man.

TAXING INDUSTRY.

Governor Nash was quoted by the
Sunday newspapers as having said,
IN one of his recent speeches, that
It will be only short time untn the
manufacturing interests will be pay
ing enough taxes to meet the states
expenses.
J This will be good news to the in
Iustrial corporations Of the state which
were assessed SO heavily this year
under the Willis tax law, enacted by
the Nash administration. And 1t will
be equally interesting to those Ohio
corporations which operate under pub
Ito franchises to know that the greater
part OF the tax burden Is to be should
cred upon the corporations which are
engaged in competitive business.
This program may be all right fol

istration.

PRINCIPLES VS.. spolLs.

According to it's custom of late
years, the local Republican organ Is
making q campaign on men, instead

In Its own camp apathy is mistaken
for harmony. The mistake will be dis
covered, when large silent vote Ia

payers, who want their votes to do
them some good.
Tom l.. Johnson, through the Demo
cratic party In Ohio, Is offering re-
lief 10 the people, who are staggering
under the weight of unjust and ex'
orbitant taxes, laid for the benefit
OF a few, to the detriment Of the
many, and vote for the Democratic
candidates will mean vote for prin

Disseminated against for the benefit

After sneering at the campaign

cause in which he is laboring and max
ing every endeavor to have 1t appear
that the tent and the speeches of those
appearing in it would have no effect on
the voters, Chairman Dick of the Re
publican state executive committee
has taken to writing epistles or open
letters to Mr.. Johnson asking him
numerous questions about the alleged
back taxes which Republican officials
seem wholly incompetent to collect.
1t seems a little strange that at this

A FEW IABBER WOCKS.

In an editorial, purporting to be
boom for the candidacy of Clint w.
Kline, but in reality adding to his
hoodoO, Grandma Beacon gets off the
following sensational talk:
"rhey do not sany anything about the
hiatus. There is no interregnum in Clint
Kline's life"
OF course, the old lady refers to the
Democrats, when she complains:
'"They do not sany anything about
the Hiatus" Why should they? The
Hiatus is not nearly so live an issue
as the extravaganza displayed in build
ing the new Jail, nor is 1t subject
with which the people are familiar.
The whole family Of Hiatuses cannot
dislodge the Democrats from their
present position on the jail subject.
Grandma's hegira from the real is
sues-and hegira is good word to
use in connection with Hiatus-is
merely in keeping with her past rec
ord. However, If she takes up the
cudgel against the Jail extravaganza,
the Democrat will reciprocate by at
tacking the Hiatus. Until that time
she will have to handle the Hiatus all
by herself.
AS to that other issue, the IntcTeg-
nun, Grandma is informed that It con-
tains no scare for the Democrats. II

If Clint Kline ever had any show
for election, it was taken away from

BUckWHEAT CAKES.

Fall and winter are the seasons
When we oft bump up against
Weather OF a brand so ugly -
That we've cause to feel incensed,
But though frost and fog assail US,
And the 6rigid breezes swipe,
There remains the consolation
That the buckwheat cakes are ripe.
When there comes a gloomy morning,
With an atmosphere that's raw,
And the signs OF storms are showing
In the clouds that closer draw,
Grouchy feelings soon are banished,
And smile of pleasure breaks
When the nostrils catch the fragrance
OF the steaming buckwheat cakes.
There is fond anticipation,
And It's fully realized
When the eater is pantaking
OF the cakes so highly priced.
There's sigh of satisfaction,
And with spirit that is gay
Three or four or half dozen,
Soon are safely slowed away.
And the pleasant recollections
| OF that morning feast make light
All the burdens Of the daytime,
And they make prospect bright
| For the fellow who has gladly
Slowed lot Of cakes away
Is rejoicing in the knowledge
There'll be more to eat next day.
SO although the days be stormy
And the chilling breezes blow,
Though the frost and fog assail us,
| And we have to wade through snow,
There is left to us . dainty
That makes happiness complete,
Fer we care not for the weather
When we've buckwheat cakes to eat.
