DEMOCRATS APATHETIC

| Special Correspondence of The Evening star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 81, 1903.
| If there are any voters in Ohio this fall
who go to the polls uniformed to their
particular duty it VIII be because they live
so far back in the woods that General Dick
is unable to reach them by rail or mail
Such a campaign of education has seldom
been in any state as is being put up here by
the republican state committee this year.
There have been speaking meetings ever
since the ball opened nearly two months
ago and during the next two weeks the
state will be deluged with oratory. The
fact that Senator Hanna is running for
second term in the upper house of Congress
has brought prominent republicans from all
over the country to Ohio, and every n ght
from now till election day speeches by out
side talent will be heard in various sections
of the state Gen. Dicks idea being to close
the campaign in wlfirlwind finish that will
greatly impress the voter at the eleventh
hour.
In addition to his heavily loaded orator
ical bureau the republican chairman has
been keeping a corps of clerks and type
writer's busy sending out letters on every
conceivable subject that might interest the
Ohio voter, denouncing johnson and Clarke,
all the doctrines of the democratic platform
and everything the Cleveland mayor ever
did, said or even thought of.
Democrats Seemingly Quiescent.
While the republicans are thus I'M
usually active the democrats outwardly APP
pear to be sleeping in many sections of the
state. In Hamilton county one would not
know there was democratic resident there,
so little activity is shown there by those
who once marched under the banner of
John r. Mclean. In Toledo and Lucas
county, the opposite section of the state,
there is a corresponding air of depression
among the democrats, though the non-par-
tisan element there. which bows to the Will
of Golden Rule Jones. the mayor, holds
its strength to democracy. The republicans
are working night and day III that city and
county hoping to overcome the power of
the non-partisan and uncertain vote.
Outside of Johnson and Clarke there have
been few democratic speakers covering Ohio.
John ]. Lentz has made few speeches, but
the most of that kind of work has been
left to the candidates. w. J. Bryan came
back into the state a few days ago, and
made one more speech at the urgent request
of Mayor Johnson. This was in GAINESVILLE,
where seven years ago on the same night
the then candidate for President addressed
three immense audiences after IL pm. and
in a driZZling rain at that. over 5000 peo-
pie greeted the Nebraskan this time, and
the republicans of that section SO fear the
effect of what he said that Hanna has been
importuned to come there and endeaVor to
undo some of the work. Recently several
large firms shut down in this town and
hundreds are thrown out of work. The
republicans fear the effect of this the

Salen's "Gum Shoe" Campaign.

While the democratic committee is not
following Dicks footsteps in the oratorical
line. Chairman Salem knows how to use the
mails and in this manner he is conducting
a gum shoe" campaign that may have
unforeseen results
Mayor Johnson will end his tour of Ohio
this week. and from that time on proposes
to put in his work here in Cleveland, where
owing to the union of the Hanna and Nc
KissOn factions. there is much danger Of the
great advocate of tax reform meeting his
first defeat in three years of unusual vic
tories Johnson expects to use two tents in
Cleveland and with Clarke and other speak
ers will hold several meetings every night
The democrats hope much from these clos
ing hour meetings. They say Johnson by
his argument will sweep the city as before,
are putting up a better fight than they have
done at any time against him.
This fight of the republicans in Cleveland
is along many lines and takes variety of
forms. Not only is Johnson opposed be-
cause he Ia the democratic gubernatorial
nominee and Is leading fight against
Hanna for reelection to the Senate, but
an attack here in Cleveland is being made
on his record as mayor. The claim is made
that he has been eXtraVagant and pam
phlets are scattered all over the town point
ing out the expenditures of the Johnson adj
ministrat ton compared with those of for
mer MAYORS. There has been more munich
pal Improvement during Johnsons term
than in two or three other administrations.
But the argument and the array of figures
will doubtless draw some votes away from
him. owing to the higher rate of taxation
that now prevails.

Another Point Against Johnson.

Johnson also hurt his by bringing
up at this time the questions of a bond is
sue for a municipal lighting plant. He
wanted to vote on it some time ago. but the
supreme court of Ohio would not let him.
So 1t was postponed till the regular election.
The issue is being fought bitterly by the
Cleveland Electric Company and the repub-
licanS are using ii as a weapon The mu-
nicipal lighting scheme will fail and John
son. for having so strongly advocated IT.,
Will suffer the loss of quite a number of
votes.
The registration here is higher than It
has been in many years, which means that
a big vote will be out. The republicans
think this augurs for their good, though
it is hard to determine this. The great
conservative element of this city-an ele-
republicans. and element that says
nothing-is the factor that will swing
Cleveland one way or the other. And as
Cleveland goes so will go Cuyahoga county.
While the county outside Cleveland is re-
publican the city leans strongly toward
Johnson that under ordinary conditions it
can offset the usual republican county ma
jority. Bets here on the county are scarce
There are few offered that Johnson will
carry the county, but unless the demo-
Gratis give odds of about to on John
son they go begging for takers While a
number of the republican candidates will
landslide. the indications are today that
and that there will be sent to the legisla-
ture from Hanna's home a delegation OPP
posed TO his return to the United States
Senate.

lature, it hardly seems possible that they
can gain enough to imperil the reelection
of Marcus A Hanna
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-10-22
State is Safely Republican.

But though Herrick and Hanna may lose
their own fireside vote. they need have
little fear of defeat, as it is generally con-
ceded that both sure of victory. There
are republicans. over-enthusiastic, who
place the republican majority at 100000.
This is hardly likely, but unless Johnson's
influence has been tremendous throughout
the districts he has visited the republican
plurality the head of the ticket ought
to reach $1,000.
The legislature should be safely repub-
lcan, though there is chance of its going
democratic. Gen. Dick, who was in Cleve-
land in conference with Senator Hanna this
week, says the republicans will not lose a
county, but indications do not carry out
this statement. He also claimed that the
republicans would carry several senatorial
districts now held by democrats and gain
| representatives in certain democratic coun-
| ties. 1t cannot be seen how he figures this
result The only democratic county that
| has shown any Indication of receding is
| Richland, where there has been some bit
| terness against Johnson, but this seems to
have died down, and the home Of the Sher-
mans will probably be, as usual, safely

may gain several members Of the legis-

Circuit Attorney Learns $4,000
Was Spent to Legalize 81.
OU0,000 of Script.
SPECTATORS REAP HARVEST.
Retail Grocers Examined Regard
ing Garnisllment BillEAttOr-
nev in Transit Deal Liable
to Indictment.

According to information which Circuit
Attorney Folk secured yesterday. $4,000
was spent in jefferson City to pass the bill
legalizing outstanding county warrants
which were issued with deficiencies in the
treasures. This measure was one OF the
so-cal!ed quiet measures of the General As
sembly and attracted little attention at the
time it was being considered.
1t Is said that there are upwards OF
81. OJ1.0tp in these warrants now in the hands
OF spectators. The Supreme Court de-
clared them to be void and only an act OF
the Assembly could make them legal To
whom the Doodle money was paid Is not
known. though it is said that most of Ii
went into the same capacious pockets that
have become SO prominent in other lsgisla-
ton.
Another informant has told the Circuit
Attorney that a Representative living in
the western part of the State received $1,000
for his hard work in behalf of the garnish-
ment bill. a certain Senator who has not
heretofore been considered cheap is said
to have accepted only $500 on the bill.
This bill was pushed by the retail dealers
of the State. the Retail Grocers' Associa-
ton being especially prominent in its be-
half. II permits 10 per cent of the wages

There was a wel-organized and represent

bill during the entire session and II passed
without strenuous opposition.
KELLEY'S SALARY
According to letter which the Circuit
Attorney received yesterday. D. j. Kelley
ia receiving an annual salary Of $1,000 from
the Baking Powder Trust for his absent
services as legislative agent. He is also
said to be receiving a liberal expense ac-
count while in Canada.
II is possible that an attorney who was
mixed in the Transit deal four years ago
is liable to Indictment by this Grand Jury.
Those who bodied in connection with this
bill and who are residents of the State are
protected by the statute of limitations This
exemption would not apply TO nonresident.
as was the case with r. u. Snyder Of Kan

Circuit Attorney Folk and Attorney Nor
ton Jourdan have agreed that the trial OF
Senator Frank H. Farris for bribery on the
alum deal will not take place in ST. Louis
until October ].
BY law, cases must be tried by precedence.
ana the Cole County Indictment of Farris
will not come off until July q. provided
there are then no continuances- FarriS has
announced that he will be ready for trial
at that time Farris is said to have been
in conference with Colonel William H.
Phelps in Carthage within the last two
weeks.
Witnesses before the Grand Jury yester-
day included Charles Pfeiffer. secretary Of
Rosenthal of the Valley Liquor Company,
and F. H. Bacon. an attorney.

The great undertaking is to be completed
within the next five years. The tax to pro-

public Improvement was voted in 1899.
The Governor, the United States Senators.
members of Congress and other officials
occupied seats on the platform. y special
guest of honor was former Secretary of
the Treasury Charles S. Fairchild
The movement which has eliminated in
the final breaking of ground to-day followed
the epidemic OF fever in 1898. Though the
disease was mild and the mortality compar-
atveiy insignificant. immense business
losses were suffered through the institution
of prohibitive guarantees. and great pub
lie demand was aroused for radical sanitary
reform. The property holders promptly
voted the required tax. necessary Legislative
action was secured and constitutional au-
tfority for tee issue of bonds. Unavoidable
delays. however. postponed the actual COM
uIencement of work until to-day.
The magnitude OF the undertaking may
be understood when 1t is stated that there
