of the Democratic voters outside the con
vention, while the leaders of the oppos
ition were operating upon the Thousand
delegates within the hall. Reducing tC
ordinary arithmetic, he offset the thou
sand with the six million and half vot
ers. His tactics we're bound to win in
the end if he could get sufficient time
Enmeshed in their own foolish devices,
they gave him more time than he
needed. They seemed to forget that
there was such a thing as the magnetic
telegraph or the daily newspaper in ex-
istence. The limit of their, field of oper-
alton was the city of Baltimore. His ex-
tended from ocean to ocean and from
Canada to Mexico. Like the muscular
party at Donnybrook Fair, with the black
thorn shillalagh, his work was 'beeyou-
tiful. " 1t showed what one plucky man
with sense could do with a clutch of fat
headed'politicians who were playing the
game under the rules of 1860. 1t WASH t
until the avalanche of indignant tele-
grams descended upon them, propelled
by aroused sentiment at home, that they
began to discern how skillfully he had
trapped them
TO begin with, he knew every card
they held in their hands when the game
began, and they weren't aware of what
he was holding. They thought he was a
candidate for President-and he let them
think SOL To smoke him out they put up
Judge Alton B. Parker for Chairman and
chuckled. The Nebraskan sought out a
private room and did Highland fling in
exceeding great joy. He had them. Re-
appearing with face that resembled that
of an undertaken at a $500 funeral he
appeared to bevery much concerned for
the safety of the Republic. In the lam
guage of the sporting world, they fell for
it, and fell hard.
Here's we're we hang the binger on
Bill, y they chortled as they proceeded to
push Parker over the line. Right then
and there he won the game.
Inside of an hour the country was ring
ing with his declaration that the preda-
ory interests were endeavoring to seize
the high parliment of Democracy and
sell it into bondage to Wall street. Dar-
ingly enough, he singled out those two
shocked persons, Thomas Fortune RYAN
and August Belmont and used them as
Exhibits A and B, respectively, to prove
that the money devil and his inps were
there in their proper persons. They
were merely modest delegates, but viii
lam had them on exhibition in an entire
ly different guise. Inside of II hours
the telegraph companies began to reap
golden harvest from the frightened Dem
ocrats back home, who sent messages
to their chosen Representatives to resist
with all their power this 6endish attempt
to throttle liberty If they couldn't see
their way clear to do this, the messages
said, they were requested to remain in
Baltimore the rest Of their days or run
the risk Of being tarred and feathered
and carried on a rail il they dared show
their faces in Cohosh or wheresoever they
hailed from.
Just as they were breathing easierafter
the first batch photographed Of indignation
and peremptory orders, William delivered
the second instalment BY Offering his now
resolution, inviting Messrs.
Ryan and Belmont to 20 away from there

and pledging the party not to nominate
any one who owed them money, marbles
or chalk or who believed that they were
otherwise than direct descendants of the
Accuser of the Brethren. That finised
them for all offensive purposes and then
he landed the knockout or bacon-produc-
ing punch by leaving Hon. Champ Clark
for having accepted the support of New
York. They couldn't get away from his
blows. Like the more or less punk pug
list who was receiver general for fine
| fusillade of wallops, their feet stutter-
| ed. " Hon. Champ fell exactly l, 900 feet
and inches straight down into oblivion,
emitting loud cries as he whizzed bottom
ward.
Now Bryan was on to Clark's game for
months and months. He was aware that
there was a deal on right here in Ohio
with the Harmon outfit which kept the
Speakers name off the preference prim-
airy ballot The proof came when Clark
came rushing over from Washington and
in his rage demanded to know why Ohio
had not kept that agreement. What
agreement For an answer please adress
postal card to the now closed Harmon
headquarters here. Chrk's action was
water on his wheel. So was the blister
ing attack of John B. Stanchfeld of
New York, referring to him as a lot of
| things that we're extremely 'un-nice. "
William simply smiled inscrutably. In
side the convention hall John B. was
hailed as hero. Outside of it he was
regarded by the now raging rank and
file as a demon with pronged horns, a
cloven hoof and long and prehensile
tail. General result: More kilograms in
punches, baskets and bales.
After that it was a cakewalk. The
bosses whose heads were not completely
swathed in adipose tissue began to take
counsel with themselves. They were
hearing the thunder and seeing the
lightning If there is anything the pol
itician despises and fears it is getting
caught out in a shower of popular indig-
nation Up went the umbrellas one by
one, and one by one the bosses began
to scoot for shelter.
Like the penitent thief on the cross
they sent word to Bryan to remember
them when he came into his kingdom. y
On the exterior they pretended to be
brave, but on the interior their cowardly
Wilson" was the ultimatum that the
people we're sending, and their teeth
were chattering lest the chances to act
would get away They saw to it that it
did not. There was fine bunk" play
over releasing delegates from their OBJ
legations. That was the slapstick num-
Der on the program. The fact was that
the delegates were releasing themselves,
and doing it, doing it, doing it, Each
boss bosslet and bosskin was watching
the other so that there shouldn't be any
advantage gained in hopping across the
line, So all at once, on the forty-siXth
ballot, Mr., Bryan, calmly tanning him
self with an evening newspaper, watched
with twinklinge the whole herd bolt
ing through the gap in the fence he had
opened. All the power of the bosses, all
their tricks and all of their money had
resulted in naught One man with gum
ton and sand had whipped the entire
gang, And that man laughed at them

THE TALE OF THE
BALTIMORE FIGHT
[As told by James w. Falkner, noted
correspondent.

AS told by James w. Falkner, a noted
correspondent.
If anyone pretending to the possession
of knowledge gives it out oracularly that
in the late fracas at Baltimore, William
Jennings Bryan was run over by a steam
roller, had his tail feathers pulled out or
lost his hold on the party, bet him one
million dollars in pennies that he is full
brother to the monkey of the jungles. 1t
is true, possibly, that William lost the
consideration and respect of certain poll
iticians whose little game he blocked
most beautifully, but it is not true that he
lost anything else. And do not let any
one, however high his brow may be, get
away with the story that the bosses ran
the convention. That is one of Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt's hallucinations.
The politicians were like the celebrated
pack of fox-hounds that misguided man
imported into a country infested with
wolves. He took them out for a trial
run and they disappeared in the timber.
Whipping up, he followed the trail until
he came to a cabin by the roadside in
front of which sat man with sandy
-whiskers, who was meditatively
smoking a corncob pipe.
'Neighbor, said the foxhunter, Did
you see anything of pack of dogs around
here?"
The smoker nodded
How were they doing2" asked the
owner, with pardonable pride.
'Wa-al; it appeared to me they were
leetle bit ahead of the wolf, was the
answer, And that's just the way the
bosses won at Baltimore. They nom
mated Governor Woodrow Wilson--after
Bryan was through with the Job. The
houn' dawgs, the Tammany Tiger and
all the other forelooping animals of pol
itics were the fox-hounds, and the Neb-
raskan was the wolf of the story.
The gentleman from Lincoln outman-
euvered the whole crowd of them. Like
first-class checker player, every time
he lost man he jumped two of their
pieces and landed in the king row.
When they started they had a majority
of the convention, the machinery, mon
ey, crowds and the claque When they
finished he had everything they began
With except the money. So deftly did he
work his plays that all the money outside
the United States Treaury couldn't have
bought the nomination for one Of the
Twelve Apostles The convention was
clean in that respect, and he made ii so,
The gathering may have been noisy and
rough at times. but ii was on the level.
His opponents fought hard, but he fought
harder, and while they may be sore over
his triumph, they certainly were inn
pressed with his prowess
His winning was simple enough in It's
method. He appealed to the great mass

get toward the head of the class.
1t helps every farmer to be a better
farmer
1t is the cross roads of good fellows,
good cheer and good dirt,
The Banner Fair will have many
attractions. The exhibit furnished By
the Blind Institution of Ohio will show
what the state is doing to aid unfortunate
children from whom the light of day is
denied, teaching them trades and educat-
ing them, that they may be able to care
for themselves and not feel that they 20

So lay aside all toll and care
And follow the crowd to the Banner
Fair.
Mark Twain said that the only place to
eat an orange was in bath tub, and the
only place to meet your friends is at the
Banner Fair. So, May the sunlight of
Gods love shine down on you from a
,loudless sky. May your bark of life
lrift gently down the river of time to the
ocean of eternity May your horses and
2attle be your only care, and your sup
-eme delight, the County Fair -

WANTS MORE SUGAR"
THAN WAS ALLOT-

Fred W. Diener filed suit in the Com.
Pleas Court last Friday against the Ger.
man American Sugar Co. of Paulding
asking judgement of S577.09, with inter.
est; S257 04, with interest, and ST. for

tract with the defendants to grow sugar
beets; that he grew same and delivered
1O4 tons to the c. y. railroad at a station
near his place; that the defendants agreed
to pay him S71055 for such delivery.
The petition then states that plaintiff rec
eived part of the money, the defendants
deducting S4l7.57 for labor, seed, rent,
tools, sc. The plaintiff alleges that such
charges are unjust, and asks judgement
accordingly, together with a claim of 81.
