The Issues of the Campaign Clearly Outlined. The Record of the Republican Party Laid 1 are. If Logic Cuts a Figure in Ohio Politics Major McKlnley's Defeat Is Assured. Associated Press Dispatches. 1 Canton, Ohio, Oct. 21—Governor Hill was greeted on hie arrival here to day by a large throng. Tonight, after a large torchlight procession of Demo cratic clubs, bespoke to a crowd of three thousand people at the rink. Many were unable to obtain admission. Governor Hill said in part: An im portant political campaign is that upon which the country has entered. The question presented to our voters is not whether the next house of representa tives shall be Republican or Democratic, but whether the nature of our govern ment is to be radically modified, and the integrity of our institutions successfully threatened. The great issue is the rec ord of the Republican party in its brief control of congress. No party has more recklessly defied precedents, more boastfully overturned traditions, more seriously invaded private rights, more arbitrarily encroached upon the prerogatives of states or more tyran nically used the power of a' partisan majority. The animating motive of its acts seems to have been only the per petuation of its own power. The party has increased its majority in the house of representatives by arbitrarily eject ing Democrats from seats; stolen the representation of one state in the sen ate ; admitted to the union states whose only claim to admission was that they will swell the Republican majorities; denied representation to Democratic territories much better qualified for statehood in point of population and re sources; ignored the rightsof minority by the tyrannical methods and ruling of the speaker of the house; squandered the treasury surplus by extravagant ap propriations to conciliate particular in terests : enacted a tariff bill which will supply corruption funds for elections; conducted a census denounced every where as worthless, and manipulated for counting Republican populations up and Democratic populations down,.and has threatened the enactment of a force bill which will put an end to state authority in the certification of federal elections, and make congress not the representative of the people, but the creature of whatever men the federal officials may choose to count in. This is the record that confronts the people. Long practice in hypocrisy has failed the Republican leaders to disguise par tisanship in patriotic language, but their appeal after all is one to cupidity and selfishness. Frightened by the disap proval which their headstrong and revo lutionary course has aroused in their own party, they are endeavoring to bolster up their shaky position by ap peals to sectionalism and party pride. If our institutions are to be preserved pure and intact, every patriotic citizen must do his duty in rebuking this grasping and tyrannical political oligarchy. After discussing the tariff, so far as it relates to the- interests of the farmers, the governor continued: But not only has the Republican congress stooped to a sharper trick to hoodwink the Ameri can farmer in the matter of a tariff on his products, but it has made his living even more expensive than it hitherto has been. His woolens pay thirty per cent more duty, while the rich man's broadcloth pays a duty of ten per cent more. The duty on sealskin sacques is reduced ten per cent, while that on silk plush sacques, which the poor woman wears, has increased sixty perjjeent. The duty on worsted shawls which the farmer's wife wears, is raised from 62 to 80 per cent; on woolen shawls the increase varies from 16 per cent, to 30. On women's and children's cheap dress goods the in crease is not much less. For his flan nels the consumer must pay an increase of at least 50 per cent. On ready-made clothing the increase of taxation is from 54 to 84 percent. The governor mentioned several other articles, and added: On milk pans, tin pails, tin cans, coffee pots, kettles, cups and other articles of tinware, the people are to be taxed $60,000,000 for three years, in order that a few manufacturers may experiment with the tin plate in dustry. If you think this is a partisan state ment," read what a member of Harri son's cabinet says about it in a recent advertisement: "Tinware is advancing in cost and very soon the manufacturers wjll have their way, and you and I will have to pay much more. In view of this state of things we made some time since a large purchase of kitchen tinware, at what was a low price then and would be far lower now, in the face of two advances in the maker's price list. [Signed] JonN Wanamaker." All over the country the effect of such legislation has been to increase the prices of dry goods and other household necessities. Not all of this increase is perhaps justifiable, but sharp mer chants Ijave been quick to take advantage of the opportunity which the McKinley bill offered them, and the }>oor consumer is the victim, whether ustly or not. The McKinley bill has defined sharply the issue upon which the two parties are divided. In its enactment the Re publican party has demonstrated more clearly than ever that the sympathies of its leaders are not with the great mass of the people, but with a certain favored class. The economic doctrine which that party now supports is one it would haye repudiated ten years ago, and which some of &reat men like Blame are evidently di> ring to repudiate now. At a time when our industries are languish ing from ovei prr.ducts.in, and c v Hgn j cultural prod:\ b arc finding con letiiion | tin foreign markets we slirin) within i WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22, 1890.—TEN PAGES. ourselves and declare our policy of non intercourse. The time has come when other markets must be sought—markets not limited to the borders of our own country or our continent, but aa wide as the world. Our foreign trade last year waa valued at $1,500,000,000. Can we afford to jeopardize that im mense source jof national wealth by erecting legislative barriers to com merce? I want to see the American people busy supplying the markets of the world with lood and clothing, and I want to see American ships carrying our produce over every sea. I want to see the wealth of Europe and Asia and Can ada and South America pour into this country to increase the wages of every laborer, and enrich every citizen. But I do not expect to t ehofd such results with the present economic system. VVe have a commanding position for international trade, bhall we take ad vantage of it or abandon it? Shall we encourage barter with other nations or shall we discourage it" Shall we strike, for an unhealthy and unprofitable ex-' pansion of the home market, or seek an outlet for our surplus products in for eign markets? One party, and unfortunately the party in power, says the home market is good enough. The other party holds that the home market ia already over auuplied; that high protective dutiea produced unhealthy competition, re sulting in over-production, closing of mills and reduction in wages. It finds great industries languishing because of highly taxed raw materials and limited markets. It perceives the organization of great trusts and combines to reduce competition and extort high prices. It finds agriculture depreased by reason of the restrictions of our government impoaed upon the commerce of other nations. Europe is buying more and more of her breadstuff's from Russia, India and Egypt. It sug gests the removal of all unnecessary bar riers to commercial intercourse, and rec ommends the free admission of raw ma terial used in manufactures. It will impose higher duties tnan are neces sary to meet foreign compet.ticn on articles we produce. It en courages that internal trade which will keep our farmers and our mills buay to aupply foreign wanta, thereby giving steady employment to labor, increasing wagea because of the increased demand for labor, bringing hundreds of millions of wealth into the country, and permitting that general happiness and prosperity to which the nature of our population and our re sources entitle us. Reverting once more to the McKinley bill, the speaker asked: "What" would become of us if Europe should re taliate by checking her import of bread stuffs, cotton, oil and provisions from the United States? We sent abroad last year $742,000,000 worth of gooda, and three-fourths of them were agricultural producta. What could recompense the country for the loss of thia vast market? What could alleviate the distress among all classes of people? Well might Blame say that the McKinley bill won't open a new market for a single bushel of wheat or a barrel of pork. Wo ought to feel grateful if it does not deprive us of what markets we have. In conclusion Governor Hill spoke of a contest in this (thesixteenth) congres sional district, urging every Democrat to vote for Warwick, the Democrat candi date. For Major McKinley he had the highest respect, but there never had been a partisan outrage attempted against the Democratic party which Mc- Kinley had not supported, besides being instrumental in forcing upon the coun try that which can properly be desig nated as "the sum ot all villai.ies." OHIO LEGISLATURE. Governor Campbell's Message Received with Favor. Columbus, 0., Oct. 21.-—The house this morning adopted a resolution as the sense of that body that no insult was intended on the part of the house in the refusal of the speaker to accept the governor's message" yesterday evening, and appointing a committee to call upon the governor and request that the mes sage be again sent to the house. Governor Campbell complied with the request. The message recommends that the legislature pass a law providing that a non-partisan board of improvement for Cincinnati be appointed by the mayor, and that an election be held in April. He scores the lobby which, he says, has been here from Cincinnati in the interest of the present board of improvement. He says their open declarationa that they are controlling legislation ought to be a sufficient indi cation that the members of the board are in bad repute, and should be abol ished at once. Governor Campbell's message was read in the senate this afternoon and re ferred. Following this a strong attack was made on the governor by Senator Brown of Cincinnati, who condemned the governor's course relative to the board of improvements of Cincinnati. The senate passed a bill providing that Mayor Mosley shall have the appoint ment of the members of the new board, and that an election shall be held in April. The bill is non-partisan in char acter, and abolishes the present board. The measure is in line with Governor Campbell's message. LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.

Of what use is it, he asked, that everything be made cheap, if a man has not got a dollar? Do not be disconcerted about pricea. If pricea go up, aa the result of general prosperity, the people will have the money to pay them.

Last night all the votive offerings to these gods and devils were burned, and the deities good and bad returned to their habitations. In the afternoon what at first was thought to be an exemplification of the Times poetry, "I hear the tocsin sounding, 'Tis the march ol the Markham men," was heard on the streets; but it turned out to be simply a Chinese procession in honor of the great religious festival; as a scenic display it could hardly be equalled. The effect of color, motion, and light, was strong to an in describable degree. The detail of the pa rade is indescribable in occidental terms, but those wrio saw it will not soon forget it. The show was headed by an Ameri can band, but all the rest was typically oriental, especially the five Chinese or chestras which participated. ANGEL WAS DISMISSED. He Helped a Girl to Avoid a Whipping.

He had him down close and could arrest him every time he felt so disposed. Mrs. Romero wanted to whip her daughter, about 14 years of age,'and Mr. Romero, the step-father of the child, ob jected, aa much as his feeble efforts in that direction would allow him, to such a course. He advised his step-daughter to jump through a window if she was illtreated. This caused tantrums in the family and led to the arrest of Romero. One witness said that he had heard the disturbance of the peace. On one side, he stated, that he heard it away five blocks, but on the other side it was only four. Mr. Romero, who appeared as his own attorney, asked for a dismissal of the, ease and Judge Savage granted it. THE GRAND OLD HAN. Gladstone on the Rostrum at Edinburgh. One of the Finest Oratorical Efforts of His Life. Balfour's Conduct of Irish Affairs Scathingly Denounced. The Deroulede-Reinach Duel Prove* to Be a Bloodless One—More Sanguin ary Duels Elsewhere. s Associated Press Dispatches. London, Oct. 21.—Gladstone addressed an audience of 5000 persona in the Corn exchange at Edinburgh this evening. Ire land, he said continued eclipse all recognized that the Irish questions must be settled before others. The opponents of home rule had hoodwinked and de luded their constituencies by pledging themselves against coercion, promising local government and expressing them selves against granting larger advances to buy out landlords, yet their first favorite measure after gaining power was coercion. Local government was vanishing in thin air. There was a proposal before parliament granting £40,000,000 to buy out the landlords. TheConservatives'administrationof the law was worse than tbe law itself. The government itself was a perfect pattern of illegality. Its methods tended to provoke the people. Gladstone referred to the Tipperary affair. It was grossly illegal, he said, to close the doors of the court bouae againat the people. The appointment' of Magiatrate Shannon to try the case waa a gross scandal. If such tricks were played in England by the wanton ness of power, a very short way would be found to remedy such abuse. As per example of police misconduct at Mitchellstown and Tipperary, it was im possible to respect the police or the adminiatrtion of law by them. Their brutality and harshness constituted a crowned insult of absenteeism, the grossest that could be inflicted on the people at such a time. The government vaunted itself on peace in Ireland, yet kept six times more policemen there than in England and Scotland. The British taxpayers paid over a million and a half pounds yearly to Irish po lice, simply to assist in collecting rents for landlords. English and Scotch land lords met their tenants fairly, and had They are well made, and were bought at the London Clothing Co. CLOTHING lias kept up with the times. They have improved in style and workman ship until it is now almost impossible to tell a ready-made suit from a custom-made. The time was when a tall, slim man or a stout man found it impossible to obtain a ready made suit. That day has passed. Today you jwill find on our counters suits specially made for the tall men and the stout men. In Overcoats likewise, we fit the tall, slim and stout. We have the latest styles in fabrics and cuts. There are firms that deal in clothing as merchandise in bulk, like the groceryman sells flour. Anything with them that is sewed together is called a coat or a vest. They care not whether it wears. The idea with them is, the garment will bring so much profit. Not so with us. We take pride in our business and welcome every improvement. Well made clothing is our specialty. We take the same pains to secure good wearing and well made goods, when buying 100 suits, that you do*o buy one. We aim to make a steady customer of every man that purchases of us. That can only be done by selling well-made goods at popular prices. Give us «v. trial. Satisfaction guaranteed.

If the government would grant a general elec tion, the state of public opinion would Erove that the country was won over to ome rule. On this great question of Ireland, Gladstone concluded, the last of tbe fortresses in the history of oppression, would go down before the Liberal's at tack. His speech was received with enthus iastic cheers. The Chronicle ranks Gladstone's speech among his finest oratorical ef forts, and gays his scathing exposure of the coercion regimen, will tell upon min isterial questions. The Telegraph says even the hackneyed nature of the subject, failed to render the speech dull. On the other hand tbe Times says: "We could conceive of noth ing duller or more threadbare." THE FIELD OF HONOR. Deroul ede Spares Reinach When He Haa Him at Hia Meicy. Pabis, Oct. 21.—The duel between Paul Deroulede and Reinach, growing out of the debate in the chamber of deputies yesterday, in relation to the actum of the government sgsinst the Boulangists, in the course of which Deroulede insulted Rein ach by describing him as, "That lackey of all administrations," took place this morning. The weapons were pistols at twenty-five paces. At the word Reinach fired, but his shot flew wide of its mark. Deroulede did not fire. Reinach's seconds then proposed that the duel be continued. Deroulede de clined to accede to this proposition. _ BOLD BAD BALFOUR. Guilty of Contempt In Prejudging; th* Tipperary Caae. Tippekary, Oct. 21.—The trial of tbe defendants for conspiracy, was resumed today. During a discussion between counsel, Dillon, of counsel for the de fendants, said he wished the tribunal before which the case was being tried, was a superior instead of a magistrate's court. He would then charm Balfour with contempt of court for bis recent utterances at Newcastle. Mi chael O'Brien, a defendant, asked that a summons be issued against Balfour, compelling him to appear before the court and state, under oath, what he had said at Newcastle. The court de clined to issue the summons. BARTERING TERRITORY. France Trading Her Newfoundland Fish eries for African Soil. London, Oct. 21.—The Standard's Paris correspondent believes negoti ations have been reopened between England and France for the surrender of French right 3on the shore of New foundland.
