WILES YET WICKED
"Radicals Making a Big Fuss
Because He Neglected
Tennyson's Funeral
FOE THE SEDUCTIVE TUEF.
But They Make No Comment on the'
Absence of the Premier, Too,
WHICH IS WITHOUT GOOD EXCUSE,
Tories Heartened by the Success in Tes
terdaj's By-Llection.
THE TAMS FU.D DEADLOCK KEHAI.NS
(Copyrielit, 1S3J. l7 the iew Yort Ass'd Press.)
London, Oct. 14. The fact that the
Prince of Wales absented himself from the
funeral of Lord Tennyson Wednesday in
order that he might attend the Xenrmarket
races, is provoking considerable comment.
His action is especially dilated upon by
certain lladicil journals, which appear
anxious to make a sensation similar to that
canted by the baccarat scandal.
The Prince of Wales, accompanied by the
Duke of Cambridge, . visited Newmarket
Wednesday and saw the race for the Czare
witch stakes. He was made the object of a
popular ovation when his horse, Virgil, won
the stand Xurs-ery plate, a handicap of 200
sovereigns. This race immediately pre
ceded the one lor the Czarewitch stakes.
His absence Irom Westminster Abbey
would have been less remarked upon but
for the fact that not a single royal person
age was present at the funeral, though, as
the defenders of the royal family strongly
emphasize, they were represented by two
generals and two colonels, besides numer
ous splendid wreaths.
The Palilic Lenient With the rrince.
Since the Tranby Croft affair public opin
ion has been very sensitive in regard to the
conduct of the Prince of Wales, but the pub
lic takes a very common-sense view of the
Prince's present action. The efforts being
made to arouse feeling against him will fall
flat. It is generally felt that his partiality
for the lighter side of national life is so
marked that to show dee) regret over the
death of Lord Tcnnvson would he mere
hypocrisy. Those agitating against his ab
sence, however, contend that his presence
w as necesary, not as an expression ot his
own personal leeling, but as the next head
of the nation assisting at anational event.
The Cironltic says it is true the Prince
went where the mass of the people went.
Tennyson was never the people's poet, but
the point is whether in the hearts of the
people they really prefer a Prince who can
not postpone a day's shooting or racing in
order to mark a great epoch in his mother's
reign. The Padical journals, while dilating
upon the Prince's absence, discreetly omit,
ss far as possible, all mention ot Jlr. Glad
stone's absence.
Excuses for Gladstone Untenable.
His plea of pressure of work and the
feeble excuse volunteered by his support
ers, ot the danger ot catching a serious cold
in Westminster Abbey, are not considered
quite satisfactory. Ou the contrary, it is
suspected that sonic other reason prompted
his refusal to attend the services. As he is
accustomed to addressing meetings in the
open air bareheaded, the danger ot catching
cold in the abbey was very remote. "
The Prince of Wales to-day went to Lady
Brooke's country seat, Eaton Lodge, Dun
mow, where he will remain until Monday.
He will before the end of the month make
his first appearance in public since the
derih of the Duke of Clarence and Avon
dale. He will open the new wing of the
hospital at Paddingtnn.
The defeat yesterday of Mr. Lawson, the
Gladstonian who contested the Cirencester
division ot Gloucestershire with Colonel
Master, Conservative, is keenly felt by the
Liberals,nho,though they expected a tough
fight, hoped to retain the seat. This is the
first loss'the Liberals have sustained since
the general election.
It ruts Heart Into the Tory Partj.
Following their reduced majorities in the
by-elections iii Leeds and Bedfordshire, it
is certain to make a marked impression oh
the public, while it will stimulate the Con
servatives to contest every election where
there is the smallest chance for victory.
The local Liberals refused to believe that
they were defeated. They insisted upon a
recount, which was made during a scene of
feverish excitement
The Conservatives were overjoyed when
the result was announced. They marched
in processions about the town, drawing
Colonel Master in his carriage. The suc
cess of the Conservatives was largely due to
the popularity of Colonel Master. Mr.
Lawson was practically a stranger in the
constituency. He was largely assisted in
his campaign by his wife.
A moement is on foot among cattle
breeders to'promote a bill providing for the
quarantining of all foreign live stock ex
cept such as are intended for slaughter.
The movement is chiefly directed against
the admission of American store cattle.
The Live Stock Journal, an influential organ,
strongly supports the movement
The Same Plan Used Against Holland.
The paper considers to be moderate the
estimate that from 100,000 to 150,000 head
of cattle would be imported if the present
restrictions were removed; but even that
number would inflict a heavy blow upon
the British breeders. It urges the Govern
ment to take the same course in regard to
America as it adopted towards Holland
when three months were allowed to elapse
before applications to admit cattle to Great
Britain were granted.
The proposal made by theParnellites that
the Paris lund be placed in the hands of a
committee of three members from each sec
tion of the Irish Parliamentary partr,
which, it was thought, would be accepted
by the McCarthyites, in vie w of the speeches
made by prominent members of the section
favoring it, has fallen to the ground owing
to the action of the Parnellitei in insisting
that a claim be admitted of charges, which
consist of law costs and debts of theXational
League amounting to over 20,000. The
McCarthyites insist that the claims of the
evicted tenants be the first charge on the
fund. Neither side seems disposed to vield
in this matter, and thus the long deadlock
continues.
A Last Kick Against the New Major.
Londoners who oppose Mr. ICn ill's elec
tion as Lord Mayor on the ground that he
is a Catholic have decided to make a final
attempt to preent his assuming the office.
The Anti-Popery Association has prepared
a petition to the Queen, praying her to re
luse to confirm the selection of Mr. Knill,
on the ground that he has publicly declared
that he owes first allegiance to'the Pope.
There is not the slightest chance of the
petition being granted, a'nd the petitioners
will probably receive a well-merited snub.
A manifesto has been issued, calling upon
workmen out of emplovment to march in
procession behind the Lord Mayor's show
on November tt. and afterward to force a
way into the Tralalgar Square for the pur
pose of holding u meeting there to give
formal expression to a demand for work or
bread.
raiglish Soldiers Still Mutineers.
LONDON, Oct 14. Another case of'
mutiny, exactly similar to that which oc
cured a few days ago at Windsor, has oc
curred at Portsmouth. The company of
the Army Service Corps has been compelled
to attend a number of extra drills which
the men claim were entirely unnecessary.
The conspiracy was prompted by the action
of the Life Guardsmen who cut their sad
dles, and to-day it was discovered that
some time during the night the harness
and belongings to the horses of the com
pany hatl been so badly cut thjt they were
worthless.
COKGER ON TIN PLATE.
lie Believes America Will Soon Make All
She Requires Wales Gets Most of Her
Ore From the South Seas Harrison's
lie-Election Predicted.
London, Oct 14. Among the passengers
on the White Star line steamer Germanic,
which sailed from Liverpool on the 12th
inst. for New York, were Colonel A. L.
Conger and wife, of Akron, Q. Colonel
Conger, who is President of the American
Tin Plate Company, spent a fortnight in
Wales examining various tin plate plants,.
and he goes home convinced that within
two years America will make all the tin
plate that will be required and at less than
me average market price oi me iasi nve
years. In an interview at Liverpool,
Colonel Conger said:
''If America should not produce a single
ton of pig tin it would be no disadvantage to
her, as ef the 54,000 tons produced in 1891,
Cornwall produced 9,000 tons; Australia,
6,000; Saxony, 1,500 tons, and the South Sea
Islands the remainder. We can produce
block plates as cheap as Wales can. We
get tin in the South Seas at an equal ad
vantage with England. The chief question
is workmanship and wages. Metal work
men are paid the highest wages received in
Europe tor similar work; yet we pay double
the wages paid here, and there will be no
difficulty in getting plenty of men. The
smartest manufacture in Wales are re
moving their plants to America, which is a
good move for both countries, relieving the
over-production here and giving us the ex
perienced men and the business we need."
Regarding the political situation, Colonel
Conger said he felt confident that President
Harrison would be re-elected, and that the
only issues were protection, reciprocity and
honest money. He gave Mr. Blaine the
sole credit for the policy of reciprocity.
The Welsh newspapers, in commenting
upon Conger's visit, say that the tin plate
industry has failed to take root in the
Unued"States in spite of the Government's
nursing and cuddling, and that the people
there are beginning to see that while the
tariff has severely hurt Wales, it hurts the
tin consumers in" the United States much
more.
OX THE DEFENSIVE.
Arguments in an Interesting Natural Gas
Case What the Bradford Company Has
toSavof Its Organization and Purposes
A Decision Itcsen ed.
Harris buro, Oct 14. Special Judge
Simontnn to-day heard arguments in the
case of the quo warranto issued by the At
torney General against the Commercial
Natural Gas Company of Bradford. The
writ was issued upon the petition of the
Manufacturers, Gas Company, which had a
monopoly of the natural-gas business in
Bradford.
Deputy Attorney General Stranahan ap
peared in court, hut took no part In the
proceedings, arguments for the Common
wealth being made by George A. Berrv, of
Bradford, and J. V. Criswell, of Franklin,
who contended that the company was char
tered to dig wells, build pipe lines, and
transport gas to Bradlord, but that it did
not intend to dig wells or build pipe lines,
but to buy its gas just outside of the city
from another corporation, and that having
abandoned tiie intention of building pipe
lines its charter ought to be forfeited.
M. E. Olmsted, of this city, for the Com
mercial natural lias uompany,was followed
by Mortimer P. Elliott, otTioga,and the ar
gument for the company was concluded by
It. It Stone, ot Bradford. Counsel for the
company contended that under its charter it
had the right to buv en: that it was Imma
terial to the public whether it mined or
purchased the gas which it distributed; but,
as' a matter ot fact, the company
did contemplate the purchase ot gas
territory and the laying of pipe
lines vherc:r the same should become
necessary, but in any event tho law allowed
such companies two years to commence and
file yeais to complete their works, whereas
tltis company has been in existence only
six months and seven days, and has already
done more than is required by law, having
expended some $o,OO0 in laying gas pipes in
the city of Bradford and taking contracts to
supply gas"to over 1,000 consumers.
In addition to the oral arguments, writ
ten or printed briefs were handed in br
nearly every one of the counsel concerned
in the case, and the Court reserved its de
cision. FOUR LIVES FOR TWO.
A Quartet of Negro Murderer Sulfur the
Same Fate Which Their Victims Met
Their Dead Bodies Drawn, Quartered
and Burned In a Heap.
Mosroevillk, Ala., Oct., 14. The re
volting murder of Richard L. Johnson and
bis daughter, Jennette, and afterward the
burning of their bodies to conceal the crime,
last Priday night, caused indignation so
great among the whites and blacks that they
never ceased day or night their eflorts to
find the guilty parties. Four suspected
negroes were arrested and brought here to
jail by cool headed citizens. While on the
way to jail the negroes confessed, and their
confession flew like wildfire over the coun
try. A mob was at once formed, who came to
Monrocville vesterday morning, overpow
ered the Sheriff and took the negroes from
jaiL Their intention was to carry ihe
negroes back to the scene of their crime,
there to lynch them and burn them at the
stake. News has been received that the
moD accomplished its purpose. The names
of the negroes lynched are Jim Packer and
his brother, Mose Johnson and Burrell
Jones.
When taken from jail under the custody
of the Sheriff they were hurried out ot town
by the mob, which grew in numbers as it
proceeded with their prisoners. The mob
never reached the intended destination.
They were too impatient for vengeance and
at an out-of-the-way place they tied ropes
around the necks of the four negroes, who
were soon swinging between heaven and
earth. While yet living and struggling for
Dream meir ooaies were riaaicu with bul
lets. They were then cut down, their limbs
torn apart by the maddened mob, and
gathered together in a large heap and
burned, just as the culprits had burned the
bodies of their helpless victims.

THE PECTSBUBG
A GREAT BARBECUE.
Large Open Air Meeting at Conneant
Lake to Help Joseph Sibley.
MR. CAMPBELL THE ATTRACTION.
The
Ohio Ix-GoTernor Makes One" of His
Tariff Eeform speeches.
IIB TIIINKS CLEVELAND IBA WINNER
IFEOM A STAFF COBRISPOVDEIT.l
Meadviiae, Pa., Oct 14. The barbe
cue on the new Exposition grounds at Con
neaut Lake to-day in the interest of "Hon
est Joe" Sibley, the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Erie-Crawford district,
was a grand success. Fully 5,000 people
were present, and if it had not been for the
miserable accommodations furnished hy the
Meadville and LInesville and the Sbenango
roads the crowd would have been much
larger. People in these parts are disgusted
with railroads that consume two hours in
running nine miles, and this is what hap
pened. The ox roast was well done, but
there wasn't half enough to feed the multi
tude, and many went hungry.
The chief attraction was ex-Governor
Campbell, of Ohio, and he was there in all
his glory. The Governor, since his memor
able contest with McKinley last fall, has
come to be recognized as the Democratic
apostle of tariff reform, just as the Major is
considered the champion of protection.
They are two brainy men, and have' made
reputations' for themselves. The lesser
lights were ex-Commissioner of Agriculture
J. W. Colman and, George A. Allen, of
Erie, foamerlv United States District At
torney at Pittsburg. Attorney General
Hensel was scheduled, but he couldn't
come. The speaking commenced in the
morning in the Auditorium, but
scarcely a fourth of the people
conld get inside. It was decided to ad
journ to he open air, and in the afternoon
Mr. Canjpbell addressed the crowd from
the hotel steps. Most ot the farmers had
never seen the Ohio ex-Governor, and a
great crowd pressed around him.
Chance for tho lawyers.
It was so big that those on the outskirts
couldn't hear or see the speaker. Then
several local lawyers jumped Into the arena
and began haranguing the visitors in small
squads in other parts of the grounds. The
air was full of Democratic tariff talk, and
every point was made to boom Joe Sibley's
stock. Cleveland and Stevenson were for
gotten, and their names were not mentioned
in the excitement It was a Sibley meet
ing pure and simple.
Mr. Campbell's speech at Erie last even
ing was his first in the campaign, and it
must be admitted that it was not character
istic He was loaded with facts and argu
ments, but the sprightly manner that gave
him a reputation in Ohio was absent This
afternoon, however, the Governor was at
himself, and he made as effective an ad
dress from a Democratic standpoint as be
ever delivered. His audience was com
posed ot farmers with their wives ana
buxom daughters. The girls had red
cheeks, and were pictures ot robust health.
No doubt, inspired by the crowd, Mr.
Campbell suddenly let loose the flood gates
of wit, and his speech was interlarded all
through with quiet satire intended for Re
publicans, and Dr. Flood in particular.
"It takes me a week," said Mr. Campbell
in a short chat, "to get started. I never
feel right until I am in the harness awhile.
I couldn't put any life into my speech at
Erie. It was too labored, but I will get
over that I won't speak any more in
Pennsylvania this fall. I came here by ac
cident. Every day of my time' from now
out will be taken up in Indiana, Rew York,
Connecticut and New Hampshire. The
Democrats never had a better chance to
win. I leel that we are going to carry Hew
York, and this State is the key to success.
There is some rainbow chasing onboth sides.
The Bepublicans are wasting time in the
far South, but" West Virginia is doubtful..
Virginians safe. Colorado, I think, will go
to Weaver, and possibly one or more of the
Western States. Illinois and Wisconsin are
debatable, and I believe New Hampshire
will be in the Democratic column. The
campaign is free irom personalities and I
am glad of it Both candidates have been
President, their characters are known and
their ability unquestioned. Possibly the
deplorable state of affairs in the White
House has bad something to do with it
There is not a man in the country who does
not sympathize with Mrs. Harrison in her
illness."
Sibley Is Very Confident.
Candidate Sibley is very confident of his
election. His friends are a little afraid of
thediquor Democrats, but they claim he
will get so many Republican votes that his
success is assured. In Erie county the
farmers are said to be solid for him. Both
candidaten nr wealth? nnd an inr as iinndl
I is concerned it is a case of horse and horse.
At the morning meeting Mr. Allen made
a plea for Sibley, and in the afternoon lol
lowing Campbell ex-Commissioner of
Agriculture Colman made a special speech
for the farmers. He argued that they are
the producers of wealth and pay for every
thing. Ex-Governor Campbell In his ad
dress said:
"I am glad to see the women turn out at
a Democratic meeting. I have never known
anything to go on badly where the ladies
are. Tn enty years 6go I was a Republican,
but I married a Dcmocraticgirl. Laughter.
I came here under the impression that
Pennsylvania was Republican, but after
seeing this great crowd I think the people
are awake in this boss-ridden State and it
is going Democratic. There must be many
Republican farmers here. The farmers
are beginning to learn that
they are not getting anything
out of protection. The farmer hoi had the
hot end ot the poker from the Bepublicans,
ana it is time sometioay eise got noia or it
I wonder what has become of the great
Democratic surplus that Grover Cleveland
left, but which he won't find when he goos
back. Applause. Something is grinding
the life out of the larmers, and it is not the
force bill or the surplus, either. Before
1860 wealth in this country was fairly well
distributed. It was a time when trusts and
tramps were unknown.
Taxes to Put Down the Rebellion.
"Then the Republicans came into power
and commenced to levy taxes. Among
them taxes were laid on manufactured
goods, but to compensate the producer they
put a tariff on foreign articles. It was hard
to find anything that they didn't tax. But
you didn't complain, because the taxes were
intended to put down the Rebellion. You
little thought that 30 years later vou would
be raying the Government CO per cent on
all dutiable goods. The tariff is now twice
as high as it was when Lee surrenderea.
"Finally the internal revenue and the in
come taxes were repealed. The taxes on
railroads, express stock, etc, were removed.
All of you who own this kind of stock were
benefited, .Laughter. t
"Burdens were never equalized for the
grangers, 'larini are not intended for
farmers, as a great Republican authority has
said. They tell you, however, that you
don't pay the tax. If that is so, then for
God's sake why don't they make the duties
COO per cent and let us get all the moqey in
the world. Applause. When Chicago
was burned the people wanted Canadian
lumber, foreign glass, eta, to rebuild their
homes. Congress passed a law admitting
all building materials, except lumber.free of
duty for a year. If you don't pay the tax,
why was the duty not taken oft lumber? The
duties paid on glass lait year amounted to
more than its cost on the other side. Steve
Elkins has four boys, two of whom are
Democrats. One bought a gun reoently,
and in a foot note on the bill the dealer
made this statement: 'Owing to the McKin
ley bill, the price of guns has advanced $4.
Steve was not at home at the time. He was
out in West Virginia making Republican
speeches, but the boy wan waiting' for him,

There is nothing in it. Doesn't the farmer

Applause.

Cheers.
Governor Campbell concluded his speech
by saying that he didn't like a preacher in
politics. He advised Dr, Flood to stick to
his texts with other ministers. He was con

A BETTING SYNDICATE F0BKED
With a Capital of 100,000 to Wager on
Drover's Election.
Buffalo, Oct. 14. Special A local
syndicate lias been formed of Democratic
politicians and sports, with a capital of
$100,000, for the purpose of taking bets on
Harrison that may be offered by Republi
cans. The combine is headed by Pat Lyons,
who in 1884 won barrels of money on Cleve
land's election, and nearly went broke in
1888, when he bet the same way. Now he
says he will wager all he can rake and
scrape again on Grover. As lar as known
only two large bets have been made on the
outcome of the Fresidental election, each
ot$500. One is registered at the Hotel
Iroquois, while the other is deposited in
the safe at the Tint House. The latter was
made between a well-known merchant and
a theatrical manager.
Local nominations have also induced some
wagers and a good many bluffs. In an up
town saloon 'to-night 300 was offered, but
dot taken, on the election ot Herbert P.
Bissell, Democratic candidate for District
Attorney of Erie county. The combination
boards are just being made up, nnd great in
terest is taken therein by the sports of
lesser capital. It is said that betting will
I- be very brisk from now until election.

Alton, Oct. 14. The pemocratic meet
ing in this place to-day was addressed by
General A. E. Stevenson, Democratio can
didate for yee President, and Representa
tive Springer, Chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means, House of Representa
tives. Mr. Springer talked on the tariff for
a while, and concluded by replying to Sen
ator Sherman ou the banking question as
follows:
"Congress has no more right to impose a
tax upon the notes of State banks in order
to suppress them, than it has to impose a
tax upon the deposits and discounts of State
and private banks in order to suppress such
banks entirely. It Congress can rightfully
and constitutionally exercise such a power,
it could also impose such a tax upon the
rents of lands as to make lands worthless as
investments, and thus compel the occupancy
ana cultivation oi tanuas tne only condition
of ownership. However desirable such a
policy might be regarded by some people it
would be a most dangerous and unwarrant
able exercise of the taxing power of the
general Government. The prohibitory tax
upon the circulating notes of State banks is
without any warrant in the Constitution and
the courts would undoubtedly so hold if a
test case was brought before them."

THE CHICAGO PLATF0BM TOO MUCH
For Evena Commercial Lawyer Who Was
Always a I'emocrat.
HE WILL TOTE F0K TARIFF, THIS TIME
SPECIAL TXLIORAM TO THE PISPATCIt.1
NEW Yoek, Oct 14. The tact that this
is a campaign of education receives new
confirmation each day. Many Democrats
who have been honest in their beliefs,, and
who have studied the conditions of the
country thoughtfully and sensibly, are
coming into the Republican party. The
position that the Democratic party has
taken onlhe tariff and currency has alien
ated many men who had an honest faith in
Democracy.
One oi the most important of these ac
cessions to the Republican ranks is Otto
Irving Wise, one of the best known com
mercial lawyers in New York. For a num
ber of years he has been a member of the
Tammany Hall General Committee of the
Twenty-first district, but he does not take
politics lightly. He thinks the duty of
every good citizen is to cast his vote for the
party that does the best for the country.
He has gone through Mr. Cleveland with a
lighted candle, and has left him and his
party. He now has certain honest things
to say of them both.
A Lawyer's Mode of Reasoning;.
"A lawyer," he said mis morning, "can
have very little motive in his advocacy of
the claims of any party. If he is honest
with himself he will study the professions
of eaoh party as made plain in the plat
forms, and will take into account the faith
fulness with which the parties live up to
their platforms. I studied with a great
deal ot care the Chicago platform.
"Mr. Cleveland's letter of acceptance is
inconsistent with the platform. Mr. Hill
is inconsistent with both. If I want to vote
according to conviction, I can find no place
in the Democratic party. The platform ad
vocates wildcat currency; both Cleveland
and Hill ignore that Cleveland, in his
tariff views, a3 expressed in his letter, is as
far away irom the Democratic platform as
President Harrison is, and if yon ask him
why 'he is a Democrat,' he howls, 'No lorce
bill.'
"I learned the foolishness of Democratic
pretensions on all these contradictory points
in a trip I have just made in Maryland,
Delaware, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Everywhere I found sound satisfaction with
the prosperity of the country. The wage
work'ers are better off than they have ever
been before, and, without exception, they
attribute this to Republican principles, as
crystallizing in the McKinley bill.
The Force Bill Bugaboo No Good.
"In Marvland and Virginia the 'force
bill' bugaboo does not frighten anyone.
The honest Democrats would like to see a
measure passed that would insure a pure
and honest count, and take the polls out of
the hands ot the bulldozing class of low
whites who now defeat every measure of
reform. No Democratic speaker in Mary
land, I was told by the Chairman of the
Democratic Committee in Wilmington.
dares to try and whip up Democratio en
thusiasm by attacking the federal election
law known as the Lodge bill. The Demo
cratic party seems to have a job lot of
ready-made platforms which it serves out '
to suit the taste of each section, bat their
tariff straddle and the boodle scheme of es
tablishing State banks with wildcat cur
rency will defeat the ticket"
Mr. Wise added that the report of Demo
cratic Commissioner Peck proved that pro
tection andRepublicanism were for the best
interests of the people. "Republicanism,"
he said, epigrammatically, "is synonymous
with the prosperity of the country. An
honest man who has studied the history of
both parties cannot vote the Democratic
ticket" Here is Mr. Wise's letter to
Tammany:
Mr. Wise's letter to Tammany.
New Yoek, Oct 5, 1892.
Bon. James J. Msrtln, Chairman Tammany Hall
General Committee, Twenty-first Assembly Dis
trict: Dear Sir Ibcjj herewith to withdraw my
name as a member of the General Commit
tee of Tnmmnny Hall for yie Twenty-first
Assembly District. I feel that I cannot con
scientiously remain a member of your com
mittee because the principles embodied in
tho Democratic platform adopted at Chicago
last June, and since expounded by the lead
ers of the party, are contrary to mvbellof
as to what would best adduce to the welfare
of the countrv. Acareiul study of the Ke
publican platform, upon Which Mr. Harri
son stands for le-election, convinces me that
x cannot serve me interests oi tne commu
nity at large any better than by voting for
the candidates Of the Kepuolican party.

Benjamin Butterworth attracted an un
usually large crowd to-ilay at the noon

He said the men whom he addressed were

Canton.O., Oct. It Special The Re
publicans of Stark county turned out by
thousands tb the mass meeting held hereto
night, the great majority of them being
workingmen from manufactories here and
in the neighboring towns. Senator His

evening. He discussed the wage question,
making a masterly exposition of the bene
fits ot the tariff system.
He referred to Andrew Carnegie and
other manufacturing beneficiaries of the
tariff, proving by an indisputable array of
facts and figures that the wage earners got
the bulk of the benefits of the protective
tarift system. Governor McKinley will
follow his established custom m speaking
here the night before election.
