Daugherty's Friends.
The Great Boss Does
Not Feel Secure
Unless His Own Diciples
Are on Guard.
Hiltabidlc's Good Words For
Senator Alexander.
Third Ward Statesman Defeated by
Hanna's Friends.
Those skilled in reading botween
the lines thought they saw more
than a mere news item in the state
ment that Captain V. M. Hiltabidle
had resigned his position as superin
tendent of the northern division of
the Ohio canal.
It is known that Mr. Hiltabidle, in
opposition to the general edict of the
Hanna gang, worked in the interests
of Harry M. Daugherty, candidate
for the Republican nomination for
governor at the State convention
at Columbus, June 2, against Hanna's
protege, Judge Nash. Thjs was an
incident demonstrative of the fact
that Mr. Hiltabidle has the courage
of bis convictions in politics, and
wears no man's collar.
But no one doubted that the re
lentless boss, who had the audacity
to order his vassals to slay Hon. J.
Park Alexander right in ""the house
oi his friends," would in same man
ner attempt to mete out punishment
to"Mr."Hlltabidle for hts offene
that of voting against the will of the
big boss. So when Mr. Hiltabidle's
resignation was announced, the care
ful observer said bis punishment had
come.
The appointment ofIrvin John
ston, son of Washington G.Johnston,
member of the Board of Public
Works, to fill the vacancy seemed
only to confirm the impression that
the whole move was a selfish political
deal, inspired by Hanna.
Mr. Hiltabidle's term does not ex
pire until next April. ,He will re
main in charge of the office until
that time.
Speaking of the matter the other
day to a reporter for the Democbat,
Mr. Hiltabidle said: "The impres
sion that I was asked to resign,
through the influenceof Mr. Hanna,
is absolutely without foundation.
The members of the State Board of
Public Workh. 'Messrs. Frank A.
Hoffman, of Delphos; Charles A.
Goddard, of Franklin Furnace, and
Washington G. Johnston of Ault
man are all friends of mine and have
been for years.
"I have heard that some of the
rabid Hannaites were sore on me, on
account of my working for Daugh
erty, but even if they had been in
strumental in asking for my resigna
tion it would have done them no
good, as I wear no man's collar; no
one leads me at the end of his chain.
"I was for Harry Daugherty for
Governor, and I am proud of it, be
lieving him to be one of the brightest
Republicans in tiie state, and emi
nently capable of holding the office
to which he aspired.
"I merely resigned because I was
offered a better position with the
Manhattan Fire Insurance company
of New York."
"Are you, as a Republican, satis
fled with Mr. Hanna's methods of
campaigning?" was a question evad
ed as follows by Mr. Hiltabidle:
"I hope that Mr. McKinley will
select some other person than Mr.
Hanna to manage his next cam
paign." Hannaites Defeated Alexander.
Referring to Senator J. Park Alex
ander's recent disappointment at the
hands of the Hanna aggregation,
THE WEATHER:
Generally fair to-night and
Wednesday.
Mr. Hiltabidle said : "Had Hanna's
Summit county friends been with
Mr. Alexander, he would undoubt
edly have been given the second
term to the Senate, to which all men
are honestly entitled."
So it is to be seen that local Re
publicans are displaying no enthu
siasm over the movement of the
party under Mr. Hanna's manage
ment. Their manhood cries out
against the manner in which this
despotic ruler drags down into the
mire and pollutes those principles
made sacred by the immortal Lin
coln. No wonder! From Lincoln to
Mark Hanna! To what a narrow
point the Republican party's princi
ples have degenerated. "It is now
an epigram," was facetiously re
marked the other day.
A little more laying on of the lash,
defeating a candidate here, ousting
an officeholder there, and subduing
a questionable politician over yon
der, the Machine crashes on, while
reflective Republicans quietly ignore
the whole aggregation, sighing:
"How long, Oh, Lord, how long?"

by reason of their wonderful suc
cess last week were retained another
week and repeated their former suc
cess, making a conquest of the au
dience from the start. Cunningham
and Cunningham made their first
appearance last evening. Their act
was a laughable hit from start to fin

duettists were well received and
their work cleverly executed. Mr.

on the bill, keeping the audience in
a roar of laughter for fully 15 min

cores. Benefit Concert.

INFANT
Thrown Into Canal.
Its Cries Were Heard by
Harvey Kauffman.
Could See the Child In
the Water.
Matter Reported to Chief of
Police Harrison.
Canal Will be Dragged to Recover
Body.
Shortly before 8 o'-clock Monday
night Harvey Kauffman, a boarder
at the residence of William H. Eulitt,
who resides near Lock 2 of the can
al, heard a child cry in the vicinity
of the canal, near McClellan's plan
ing mill.
Accompanied by two friends,
Harry McLaughlin and Thomas
Peters of Bolivar, Mr. Kauffman
hastily ran down to the canal. The
cries seemed to come from the pool
just below lock 2.
After reaching the foot bridge Mr.
Kauffman struck several matches,
whose light enabled him to catch a
glimpse of a child's face as it rose to
the surface three times. The child,
he says, appeared to have been about
six months old, and it was impos
sible to rescue it as the men were
fully ten feet above the waters
As the men ran down to the canal
they fancied that they heard voices.
Before starting down they say the
child's cries were such as might in
dicate that it was being choked. It
is possiblejthat the infant was strang
led almost to death before it was
pitched into the water.
Win. Eulitt and Thomas Peters
notified Chief of Police Harrison of
the matter and he made a prelimi
nary investigation of the surround
ings last-night,' butiound out noth
ing of importance. It is likely that
the canal will be dragged and the
body recovered.

LABOR DAY
s
Two Large Picnics.
Central Labor Union at
Silver Lake,
Knights of St. John at
Randolph Park.
Interesting Program of Sports
at Both Places.
An Excellent Address Delivered by
W. D. Mahon.
An immense crowd attended the
Labor Day picnic at Silver Lake.
The occasion was the most suc
cessful in the history of the Central
Labor union.
The people left Akron early in the
morning and continued going until
late in the afternoon. There were
no accidents to mar the enjoyment of
the day.
The address of the day was made
by W. D. Mahon of Detroit, presi
dent of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Street Car Employes of
America. He was introduced by
Hon. Charles W.Kempel of this city.
Tn part Mr. Mahon said:
"We come here to discuss business
organizations. Business men are
organized lo promote their interests.
Lnbor is organized for the same pur
pose. It is announced that a coffin
trust has been perfected. We are to
be taken care of by a combination
even after death. It is said that we
ara Iwycotters It js the coinbina-
t ion of capital that results in strikes.
Laborers must fix the price for labor.
We want to remove the strike. It is
said we are un-American. The labor
movement began when the May
flower came across. The Pilgrims
were discontented with conditions in
the Old AVorld. They came here to
gain liberty. It was then that the
trades union had its birth.
"It is an un-American spirit when
Carnegie goes to Scotland to enjoy
what he has reaped at the hands of
labor in this country. The labor
unions are stronger at present than
ever. Politicians pat us on the back
and tell us to vote right. We will
accomplish.our ends when we organ
ize. Go on with yourwork of organ
ization, but break the chain of polit
ical slavery. Tradesunionism is your
only protection. The business man
should be in sympathy with labor."
The morning game of base ball be
tween Akron and Mogadore for a
prize of ?10, was won by Mogadore
by a score of 22 to 20. It was a slug
ging contest. Mogadore rooters were
very much in evidence. The village
sent' a delegation of 250 to the picnic.
In the afternoon the Sharon team
was defeated by Kent by a score of
12 to 9. The winner was awarded a
prize of $50.

He had $5 which he displayed to two

So all three went down along the

and also the $5 bill, while the other,
seizing Harry, tossed him into the
bushes; then each departed from the
scene in hot haste. Tt seems that
