Was it not as a Democrat you were elected to congress from Cleveland in 1S92? Was, not-your principal party newspaper support for that election, given by the Cleveland Blain Dealer? Did that paper ask votes for you as a free-trader? Did 'the Democratic na­ tional platform of that year pronounce for absolute free trade, abolition of ’ the' custom bouses and all that, as you- .have done1? Did it go beyond its dis­ tinct- declaration of a '“tariff for -rev­ enue only”? It did doclare for that .kind of a,tariff, did it not? Where,- _then,, from your constituents or from ; your party platform, did you got your j warrant for going back upon both of ?them to support theories they had ; never authorized- you or 'any one to ■wadvocate? You Wore a representative, j were you iiot| and as such bound to {-represent yout people and their prim Ijciples, not to thrust in some of your liown that they had never passed upon? Did not honor rest upon you, as upon ijany, other Democrat, to act' as your 1party directed? When, the tariff bill, then pending', drafted by a Democratic committee, was pasefl *by the Demo­ crats of both house and senate, and allowed by the Democratic president to become a law. Did hot thisjbill haVO the sanction of the Democratic party generally as a strict party measure? Notwithstand­ ing this you refused, did you not, to vote for the bill in its final form, and denounced It and Its Democratic au­ thors, with, all the wealth of language at;ypur command? „»Your speech in congress before the vote might well be in the hands of every Democratic voter Jn Ohio; now 1 called upon to voto for the ticket you dictated at Cedar Point, and support | your notions, under penalty of being called by you a “dirty blackguard,” or a "coward and a robber,” and “bought with boodle” and other choice gems from your present campaign tot your party's, presidential nomination, words sr worthyFf that dignified po­ sition. ilere are only a few of them; “I protest in the house as I protest­ ed in the caucus "against the Ignomin­ ious surrender of principle, of duty and of dignity, >and even though I stand alone my vote shall be recorded against i t ” “Bat the surrender that we are asked to make . . . Is a surrender of the government of the United States . to a gigantic organization of boodlcrs engineered and managed by the boss boodler of the country.

Has it over toned down its declaration of Oct, 30, 1894, that Topi Johnson’s “every act, word, thought and hope ia traitorous to it," and "he. would ropfiiate the party in an instant could. he find another lie might impose on more .successfully?" What answer did your district make to these denunciations? Did your constituents vindicate you? Was not your total vote only 13,260, or 4.129, less thap yout vote of only, two years before? • Was not your, majority in 1892 of about 4,000 turned around into about 4,000 against you in 1894? Have you not oven down, to data sown dissensions and divisions in, the Democratic ranks by denouncingDem­ ocrats for not doing as you desire* Impugning the honesty of men always bold honorable at liome, and by your assaults upoii' them attacking the party and the people that elected them? Have you not in open" speech most bitterly assailed Democratic leaders whom you do not like? Did you not repeatedly advise Democrats to holt Democratic candidates, and name Democrats .you doomed to de­ feat? In the case of, Congressman Norton- of the Thirteenth* district.did you not repeatedly 1 tell his constitu­ ents not to support him:if he worked for railroad interests, while he con­ fesses to haying ■done that for 14 years? If defeated will he not Say that your declarations' in his district did it? With this long record of aiding to defeat Democratic candidates in Ohio and New York, in your 1 own county an'd at the head of the state ticket, in almost every county in wnich you have pitched your tent this fall, and even your party's nominees for con­ gress*- together with your congresr- sional' record of voting against the 1 greatest measure 6 f your party during your term, what right have you to ask, or even to expect any>Democratic votes ?' You bolted your party for free trade and the single land tax, you said. Are those Democratic doctrines as. you hold them?. Has any natterH convention of that party ’ ever put them into its platform? Has any Dem­ ocrat the least party obligation to vote for them now, while you havd made these theories In, their utmost, radicalism the beginning: and end of your present campaign?

The greater the hypocrite, the.louder he howls against what-he thinks tne public look upon as wrong. This' is not a year for any luke­ warmness on the part of Republicans. The continuance of'our national pros­ perity and the assir nee of furtb- r protection ' to American industry would be shaken. If'not entirely sac­ rificed by Democratic success in Ohio. A full vote must be polled and Repub­ lican supremacy maintained by a ma­ jority . large enough to strike conster­ nation to the hearts of the opposition! and show the world that the American people are not desirous of talcing any backward steps, A vote for the-'Republican ticket this fall means a vote for the contin­ uation of the unparlaleled prosperity, which the couhtry is new enjoying; It means a vote of confidence 4n the principles and policies advocated by President McKinley, as carried out by President Roosevelt; and it means a Vote for our homes and our country.— Jackson Sun. .

FAKEFEDERALPUN, N on e o f I t In th a IJ sw M un ic- . v -f .Ijpal Code;- More Power bor the, People* More Nor the (’ouiu-ll, Their Rcpi-matu^ ilvfs~JUo .U mjoi -’ s D.ptlrs More Ini- portf-.m -OUl-.-oi-.-t Uticicd Subject to the People. •The more the new munkipal code la Considered candidly, the stronger and bettor for the general welfare it proves to be, No one could pass upon it as a complet measure until it was actually enacted, but now that each community- can study tho nnw law its merits daily become more apparent, as shown by tho press expressions everywhere. Of course, the. Tom Johnson Democrats' denounce it; that they did even before tliq legislature assembled, but such chaff' fools no thinking Ohio-people. They will see that tills law gives the mayor and[ city council, and the peo­ ple,, more power than ever, and that the people elect their own officers and don’t have them appointed as -under the fake federal, pian. TJ 10 police and fire departments, the protectors of tho people, are protected from partisan manipulation, not put at its mercy, as the fake federal plan has kept them in Columbus and Cleveland. 'And for the comparisons all nloiig the line:- It Increases very considerably the power of the city council, elected by the people, It brings home, to the people, through the council] an ;enlarged pow­ er for prompt and thorough action for the public needs heretofore reserved •for the legislature, It makes the council represent the entire city by. adding 'members at large, It stops dickering for the organiza­ tion ot the council, by making its pres­ ident and clerk, or auditor, elective by the peopid. -• * It. makes a larger proportion of the executive officers elected by the peo­ ple, There are enough officers pro­ vided for the larger cities, while the smallest need incur no extra expense on account of any- positions which it does not need oas yet, but which are allotted to it in obedience to the 'su­ preme court and constitutional' re­ quirements of uniformity in all cities. It gives the mayor thB responsibil­ ity for naming every appointive^ orfF cer. If he picks out strong, suitable men for the bt-partlsan board of pub­ lic safety .the responsibility for'any rejection rests with tho council; only in that event can the governor inUr- vene. - The mayor is the executive head of the police and fire departments, whoso members are selected and protected in their positions by the merit system,, administered by the bi-partisan board of public safety, thus ensuring capacl-' ty and stability In both departments. ‘ Another ■reform Is protection by statute against partisan gerrymander Of- councllninnlc districts, or wards, ■and against ripper legislation,' . In case of cities that are carrying debts* tho sinking fluid commission provides a-plan and protection for the payment of all debts. This will e n - c hance municipal credit and save the taxpayers great sums annually. A check, always needed, now pro­ vided for the first time, upon excessive local taxation is made by giving the sinking fund commission control of all' local tax levies. . In case of public improvements new checks and .safeguards are. provided against excessive special taxation. Another important new protection for the public Interests Is In giving the mayor the voto power, and requir­ ing a two-thirds vote of council to overcome hla objections. The plan adopted comes closest in Its general .features to the system al­ ready In operation In most of .the cities of the state, excepting the two that have had the so-called federal system. It- differs from those In mak­ ing the principal officers elected by tho people, and no.t creatures of the may­ or, and In putting the subordinate offi­ cers under a stringent merit system. Other very vital objections to the federal plan have been that it gavo the mayor a veto upon alt' proposed legislation In council, because the ap­ proval of the mayor and his cabinet was required before this submission of measures to the council, and after that the mayor and Ills cabinet had the right to oppose measures on the floor In open council, In the way practiced In the British parliament • This Is a foreign and not a federal plan, and Is not like anything American. The now code limits the city levy to 10 mills on each dollar of taxable property, exclusive of levies for •schools, libraries, university, hospital and interest purposes, and any higher rate must be approved by two-thirds of council and two-thirds of the elec­ tors before It can go into effect. Temporary loans, secured by the council, can Tun Only six months. De­ ficiency bonds, may run for GOyears, to Becuro the lowest interest rate, but they must never exceetTl per cent of the tax duplicate, and must he ap­ proved by Iwd-thirds of the city coun­ cil and two-thirds of the Voters. BALLY, 0 S 0 E Ohio' Republicans, Remember Yoyr Duty to Other Repubffcana. That Democrats are daim'ng that -they will carry tjiu congress to be elected Nov. 4, should arouse Repub­ licans to tlmir duty. Tho Ohio dele­ gation may decide the make-up and tho-nets of the next national house of representatives. Every , Republican, therefore, ought to realize.the vast im­ portance to the community of the suc­ cess pr failure of Republican princi­ ples; All know the urgent national need that- the next congress shall bo strongly Republican' to sustain Presi­ dent Roosevelt in nis efforts to carry out the policies of the late President McKinley. , Having always 'an almost solid South, every Democratic' claim, that they will' carry the next congress de­ pends upon the districts classed as doubtful. Any such district, no matter how llicy carry it, will have a straight Democratic member, pjedged to vote- ‘against President Roosevelt and all Republican measures. Even one ma­ jority for them-in the house can par­ alyze ail business. Just 12 years ago (1890) the. Democrats captured con­ gress and that prepared for the defeat of President Harrison and the election of Grover Cleveland In 1892. You will .remember tho five hard yeara.tbat fol­ lowed. Are you ready to risk their return? . ■ Every vote for a Democrat-now for congress will be as perilous aa such votes proved' to bo in 1890 and ’92, no matter why they were cast Have, five years of good times been enough, so that anyone wants the shadow of free trade to blight business again? Now, as then,- any Democratic congi’es'smen gained for any reason will,, encourage, that party in its campaign for the presidency, with all that will be at stake therein. Every Republican owes it to. all other Republicans, and to every interest involved in Republican success, and imperiled by Democratic prospects, to stand by every candidate sure to bo a Republican in Congress. Here is the one issue in every con­ gressional district, above all beside, vital to the business and. industrial welfare of the country. Will yiou not do all that you can-to prevent such a. disaster as any claim o f'Democratic gain; any encouragement to free trade and financial uncertainty?
