Democratic party those who betray

Mayor Tom launched into discus
sion of home rule and just taxation,
denouncing the curative act and the
men who are working to secure special
privileges from the present legi
ture. He stated that the time will be
short after the new code is passed,
when the people know what home rule
is by what they will lack.
TITS a good thing to have this
done at special session in order to
have the eyes of the people on the
legislators. Ii they pass good code
we should hold up our hands and
praise the men that did 1t whether
they be Republicans or not. But l
don't believe they'll do it"
AFTER STARK LEGISLATORS.
Mayor Tom then denounced the
Stark county representatives in the
house and senate for voting for the
curative act" "All three of them
voted in favor of that steal. Remem-
her them.
II looked forward to tonight with
great interest. for 1t is the first time
have ever tried to speak before the
people of Stark county"
Numerous trains had been passing
on the Pennsylvania railroad from the
time Mayor Tom opened his remarks
and he was repeatedly compelled to
silence by the clangor and noise. At
this juncture the noise of passing To-
comotives was somewhat worse than
ever. After the noise subsidized, Mayor
Tom broke out, with smile, They'll
always have more trains when you
are having a Democratic meeting than
they do when the tax assessor tries TO
count them" The remark was re-
ceived with roars of laughter
Continuing on his tribute to Stark
county, Mayor Tom said, STARK coun-
ty has the great record of voting in
dependent tickets on election day. You
rise above mere party lines and vote

Mayor Tom then went on to the dis
cussion of the new code. This matter
is now in the hands or a conference

the Infamous steals are made up
What happens in the national con-
gress? The Wilson bill and the Ding

"The trouble is that when a bill
comes from a conference committee
YOU can't amend 1t. In that form and
In that form only can it pass. OUT

WHAT REED DID.
The speaker took up his "eight
black sheep" the eight Democrats
who voted for the curative act RE !
them. They voted for the
Cincinnati steal. So long as l have
breath in my body SO long as l can
stand OIL platform, II any Of these
men ever again run for Office, I'll take
his old tent into his county and help
he people to defeat him.
Mayor Tom started after the audi
.ors. He reclted that the acquiescence
,f the auditors had gwen the rail-
'oads of the state the benefit OF un-
lust taxation. 'If they would be just
n taxing the railroads it would mean
or your county yearly gain of S105,-
)0C. This would mean 40 miles of
pike and 1 haven't found 40 feet OF
bike In the county yet.

LINCOLN AND HANNA.
Hanna came in for good share OF
Tohnson's talk. He arraigned him for |
lis slogan Of "stand pat" 1T Is an
insult to the people of Ohio" he said.
to have Hanna talking of standing
pat. Yet Hanna is a leader OF the !
party that boasts of Abraham Lin
,oln. Think of the falling off from
Abraham Lincoln with his clean
lands to Mark Hanna with his pat |
lands'
A man in the audience shouted,
What did Mark Hanna ever do for !
he poor In Cleveland?"
