THE Washington dispatches say
there has been no agreement between
the Ohio Senators concerning the
appointment of Gen. Kennedy as
Pension Agent at Columbus; that
Senator Hanna will recommend the
appointment, but no appointment
will be made by the President until
both Senators agree on some one,
and it is not likely Senator Foraker
viii agree to Gen. Kennedy. If he
does he would surely be .'forgiving
and forgetting"

These are the things that have
stung the Trusts magnates, who have
combined to run the country and vir-
tually destroy popular Government:
and they are determined to defeat
Roosevelt. 1t is a simple issue of
the people and Roosevelt on the one
hand and the great Trusts on the
other. And this issue overshadows
all others. It is the Trusts that
have subsidized great newspapers,
and that have put their money into
the pockets of ward hirelings to talk
against Roosevelt. 1t is the Trusts
that are coaching the men who are
moaning over Roosevelt's unpopular
ity, which exists only in their own
minds.

THE VOICE
OF the People Will Not Down.

The Sidney Journa- of last week
has aneditorial of exceeding interest,
on the attack ON President Roosevelt
made by the Commercial Tribune
some days ago. We reproduce part
of il:
1t assumes to be the mOuthpiece of
the Republican party in Southern
Ohio. II puts on the airs of an ora
Gle. II thinks il thinks. In each OF
these three attitudes it is dead
wrong. II is not the representative
OF the Republican party in southern
nor any part of Ohio. It is not an
oracle, and 1t does not think. 1t is
purely a commercial enterprise. Il
exists to maintain its own existence.
1t is a proprietary institution, and
its proprietorship is not in sympathy
with the great principles of the Re
publican party nor in touch with its
policies.
The Commercial Tribune does dis
honor to the strong, rugged person
atty of Senator Hanna, and equally
so to the brilliant and profound SEN
ator Foraker, when II suggests that
either of them would go before the
people on an issue against Theodore
Roosevelt for enforcing the laws and
protecting the rights of all good cti-
zens. 1t is wrong and injustice to
these distinguished leaders to so Jug
gle with their names. Let there be
a care-mark what is said-let there
be a care how the rights and choices
of the common people are banded
about. No President since the i'm
mortal Lincoln has been so close to
these common people and so much
loved by them as Theodore Roosevelt.
No President nor any other man has
been so loyal and efficient friend of
the laborirg man, nor at the same
time so faithful to the true princi-
Piles which expand trade and COM
merce as Theodore Roosevelt. 1t Is
high time these things were brought
before the country. A cowardly, If
not subsidized, press has truckled to
4 few petty officeholders aud refused
to tell the truth or make plain the
situation. President Roosevelt may
make some gricvous mistake between
now and next National convention
which would preclude his candidacy
for d denomination, but he has not
done so up to the present time lie has
strengthened himself by every move
he has made and every decision rem
dersd If he goes before the Nation
al convention with such a record as
he has made, and is defeated for the
nomination, Republican President
will not be elected IN November, 1904

And all day long the moss against their
