FEELING GOOD
At Massillon Over Ober.
Inns Success.

The Massillon Cleaner is in an ex-
ultant mood over o nomination Of
Auditor Oberlin and takes occasion to
pass some comments upon the Canton
opposition. The Cleaner says:
Michael w. Oberlin, the county au-
ditor, who has actually filled his Office
SO well as to develope vicious oppo-
sition from political grafters in his
own party and lot more who want
to graft in the other party, has sur
prised some of them by getting the
nomination for reelection. No man
ever had better compliment than
when the fight was begun on him.
Here in Massillon Mr.. OberlLn has
been understood from the beginning
but he has been thorn and an as
tonishment to some Of the Canton
bunch who picked him up for easy
bug" but found he had stinger
like a was-up."

Want Southerner on the
National Ticket.

Lynchburg. Va. April 1S.--The DEM
ocratic congressional committee from
the Sixth Virginia district passed a
resolution at its meeting today declar-
ing that the banishment of southern
men from the national ticket for forty
years after the Civil war is unrea-
sonable and absurd and calls ON the
Virginia delegates to the national con-
vention to do all in their power to
obtain the nomination of Senator
John w. Daniel for president. If In
the judgment of the delegates 1t is
deemed best to concede first place on
the ticket to northern man they are
urged to work for the nomination of
Allen Caperton Braxton, Of Staunton.
for vice president.

Albany, N Y, April 1S.-Tammany
Hall was tonight routed tooth and
nail at the most stormy state conven-
ton ever held in New York by the De-
mocracy. The delegates to the St.
Louis convention were instructed to
vote for the nomination of Chief
Judge Alton B. Parker of the state
court of appeals for president.
Former United States Senator David
Bennett Hill, who is at present manag-
ing Judge Parker's boom, declared
that the result would be the nomina-
ton of Judge Parker as the standard
bearer of the Democracy, as a number
of state delegations in the south and
middle west will follow New York )
lead within the next three weeks.
1his claim is disputed by Tammany
Hall and the outcome cannot be fore
casted.
The battle proper came at the meet
ing of the committee on resolutions.
State Senator Patrick H McCarren
presented a platform which later was
endorsed by the convention 1t car
ried an absolute endorsement of Judge
Parker's candidacy.
Representative Bourke Cochran, on
behalf Of Tammany Hall, offered a
substitute which while endorsing the
general principles of the McCarren
platform, made no declaration of in
structions. The McCarren platform
was adopted by vote of rs to IL.
The majority platform as read de-
clares generally for the principles of
Jefferson Democracy: inveighs against
Republican violations of treaty. exec
utive encroachment upon the legisla-
tive and judicial departments, un-
steady national politics and the rest
less spirit of adventure which has
shaken both confidence and checked
our commercial growth"
II declares for Opposition to trusts
that oppress the people" and is in
favor of corporation taxes in the in
terests of the people only.
lue platform declares for reason
able revision OF the tariff and the
abolition of needless duties on raw,
imported materials, honesty in the
public service and greater exer-
else of home rule while maintaining
every safeguard against public fraud.
The instruction plank was as follows:
The Democracy of New York favor
the nomination for president of the
United States of that distinguished
Democrat and eminent jurist OF our
own state-Alton Brooks Parker; and
the delegates selected by the conven-
ton are hereby instructed to present
and support such nomination at the
approaching national convention"
The platform concluded with plank
directing that the unit rule be enforced
and empowering the delegaLion to fill
all vacancies.
Senator Grady made an impassioned
appeal TO the delegates to accept his
substitute for the majority platform,
declaring that 1T was unfair to the
Lifted Democracy of the state to tie

RUSSIAN LOAN
Not Yet Believed to be
Urgent.

Berlin. April 19.--(London Times. }
Reports have been current that Rus
sia is about to issue a large quantity Of
five per cent bonds and these r,imors
have exercised some effect on the
money market In Berlin. They are re-
garded by the well informed as un-
founded.
A new Russian loan is not yet be-
lieved to be urgent and 1t Is even sug-
gested that II Russia intends to bor-
row money she can afford to wait un-
til she has achieved some military
success which might enable her to bor-
row on more favorable terms than at
present Is practicable.

the hands of the delegates with in
structions that were absolute in their
character"
Senator McCarren answered Sena-
tor Grady in a somewhat bitter speech
v hich created pandemonium and
brought out cheers and Kisses that
for many minutes interfered with his
utterances Mr.. McCarren declared
that Senator Grady did not believe
what he said and therefore there was
no reason why the delegates should be
deceived. He appealed to Judge Park
er's friends to vote down the attempt
to "sidetrack" the Parker movement.
Representative Cochran answered
Mr.. McCarren in a speech which was
one of the most eloquent efforts ever
made by the distinguished orator. He
declared that the adoption of the ma
jority report would mean simply that
"a candidate was to be named who
could stand for anything or nothing"
Speaking of the advocates of Judge
Parker's nomination, Mr.. Cochran
said: "You want to hang around
Judge Parker's neck the fortunes of
certain individuals and whether that
shall be for the purpose Of decoration
or as burden you may judge by the
events of the last ten years.
This allusion to Senator Hill well
nigh carried the convention off its feet
and the applause for the Tammanyite
was loud and prolonged. Later he re-
ferred to Senator Hill anu friends as
desperate factionalists" and this
phrase, too, created a furore Of ap-
plause.
Incidentally to his speech Represen-
tative Cochran made an impassioned
appeal for the nomination of a souLu-
ern man for vice president. He said
he had no candidate in mind but he
hoped that southern man would be
the running mate of the candidate for
president, as by that means a Demo-
cratic triumph would be assured His
yelled allusion to Representative
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
caught the crowd and shouts of will
liams, Williams" could be heard in
the galleries.
On the roll call the substitute reso-
luton of Tammany hall was defeated
by a vote of 301 noes to 149 ayes. The
platform was then adopted by the
same vote.
The following delegates and alter
mates were then elected
Delegates--David Bennett Hill, AL
bGny county; Edward Murphy, Jr,
Rensaeler; George Ehret. New York
and James w. Ridgway, Kings
Alternates-Charles N. Bulgcr, Os-
wego; w. Carl Ely, Erie; Cornelius II.
Ackerman, Broome and Francis Bur
ton Harrison, New York.
The list of delegates and alternates
from the various congressional dis
tricts was then chosen and the con-
vention adjourned.
The presidential electors at large as
named are; Harry ayne Whitney and
James I. Woodward, of New York.
