AKRON DAILY DEMOCRAT Atomizers & Perfumes f -AT- STEINBACHER'S, 104 East Market Stre ii 1 VOLlBtE EIGHT. NUMBER 121 AKRON, OHIO, FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 8. 1899. PRICE ONE CENT VERY MUCH In This Year's Fight Anti-Hiltabidle Club Will be Heard From. Doubt Story of Hiltabidle Resignation. Many Republican Votes For John R, McLean. Hanna Machine Candidates Will be Rebuked. Squire A. W. Hnll objects lo tho statement that (he auti-Hiltabidle club is out of politics. On the contrary he says it will be very much in evidence during the coming campaign. This organisation, with an enroll ment of ;!00 members, has played a conspicuous part in politics during recent years. One year a"go it cut down the pluralily.of Wash John ston to such an extent that he was almost 300 behind the head of the ticket. Charlie Hatch can give tes timony a.s to the strength of theanti Hiltabidloites. He. was defeated for election because of the club's work. To a Democrat reporter Fri day Squire Ball made the follow ing, statement: "If Captain Hilta bidle has resigned his position as superintendent of th Northern di vision f tho canal, it is because pressure was brought lo bear by (be Hanna agents. Republicans arc laughing at the Beacon's statement that he resigned of his own free will. We do not believe, however, that he has resigned at all. The story was started for political effect. It was "hoped by that means toJteop usfroin taking any active part in this fall's campaign. But Ave are not be hoodwinked so easily. If he had a better job he would go to it immedi ately and not wait until next spring when he would be out of office any way. I take no stock in the state ment. "A word as to his work for Harry Daugherty. He was for that gentle man because 'Bill' Hawn, his brother-in-law was turned down in his effort to be marshall of the District of Co lumbia. - That made Hawn sore on the administration and, he instructed Hiltabidle to help nominate Daugh erty. It was anything to beat Judge Hash. "There are many independent Re-, publicans who will not vote for Judge Nash, Prof.-Seese, Judge An derson or Cleric Hershoy. They are tired of Machine politics in Summit county. They believe tliat the people should be given a chance in naming the men who are to run for office. If Col. Sanford had been nominated I believe he could have had the full party strength. The rank treatment of Senator Alexander at Columbus and 1'ainesville has had its effect. If the sentiment throughout the State is as it is in this county the Republi cans will have a hard time electing Judge Nash. "Administration papers have been crying McLean bossism. Well, as between Hannaism and McLeanisin I will take the last named every time. I have talked with a- number of laboring men who are counted as Republicans. They will vote for Mr. McLean and Clias. W. Keinpel. "And say, if Wash Johnston ex pects his son to get any salary as superintendent of the canal he had better have him take up his duties at once, because It is more than prob able that no further appropriations will be made for the canal and be sides a great many things might hap pen in seven or eight months' time."

Mrs. Minnie Koehler of 200 Wash ington st., has received the follow ing interesting letter from one of the Akron boys at Manila: ManiIjA, P. I., Aug. 12. Dear Folks at Home: I will re late some of my experiences. I en listed in the Thirteenth at Akron March 13, 1899, and was stationed at Fort Porter, Buffalo, N. Y., until April 20, when we left for Manila, arriving at the latter place May 30. The rainyseasou has set in and will continue for several months. We do not dry our clothes here as they do In the United States after washing them, but put them on and they are dry in a few minutes. On June 9 we were ordered to San Pedro McCardia, a distance of nine miles from Manila,-where we pitch ed tents. We left the following morning at four, marching about seven miles, passing the Ninth and Twenty-first Infantry at 7:30 and forming a line of battle at 8. We were on the right flank under heavy fire, losing one man killed and three wounded. The battle lasted till 10. We rested for a half hour and then marched through the jungle single file for two miles. We cross ed hundreds of acres of rice fields, driving the enemy before us. We marched about 22 miles that day and when we rested at night were without shelter from the rain. It rained all night. We had no breakfast and were forced to march" about six miles, surrounding the towns of Las Pinos andParan, which were said to be the Filipino strong holds. The battleships bombarded the towns and they were easily taken. Tho Filipinos had desortecL the towns carrying three hundred wounded with them. A good many of thorn wero killed. During thn heat of tliat day orders came to our regiment, tho Thirteenth, to return to Manilla and we arrived there at 9. That night the Filipinos attacked the Twenty-first Infantry and slaughtered them until the Four teenth came up, when th Americans in turn slaughtered the Filipinos, killing about BOO of them and cap turing five Spaniards. The Span iards had been prisoners for three years and did not know tliat tho Spanish war was over. They said the Filipinos wero short of powder and lead and couldn't tight much longer. It rains here all day and all night. Water is over throe feet on tho ground.- I will never forget this experience as long as I live. I don't think the-tvar will last long. When we go to our meal1 wo swim to the kitchen, and if we want to go to the other companies, we use a row beat. This is pay month, but God knows when wo will get our pay. The water is so high tho paymaster can't get to us. The weather is cold here now, but not so cold as it is in the States. Yours truly, Fkkd ElZHOJjZ, 13th U.S. Infantry, Co. C, Manila. STORM Did Considerable Damage In Bath. Lighting Caused Several Fires Horses Were Killed. The heavy rain and electrical storm of Thursday afternoon did con siderable damage in Bath township, the storm being especially severe in the western and southern parts. The barn of L. Ganyard, who lives near the line between Bath and Granger townships, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Loss is heavy. The barn, of Charles Monegan, 14 miles west of Hammond's Corners, was struck by lightning, but did not burn. A horse in a field, in the western part of tho township, was killed by lightning. The name of the owner of the horse could not be learned. Many fences in the southern part of the township were blown down, as was also some timber and fruit trees. Fields of standing corn were badly damaged. On the farm of C. O. Hale, near Hawkins station, considerable soil washed from the hillside of ploughed fields down into the valley, spoiling the fields badly. Citizens living in the townships say they cannot remember ever hav ing seen so much rain fall within so short a time as was the case Thurs day afternoon. The level fields iooked almost Mistakes, the surfaces being covered wM water. Tho fury of the electrical storni is spoken of as being frightful. A. M. E. Conference.

It is said that the Ohio canal4 will not be operated next season. If it is a Legislative struggle shall have been won by the friends of the canal against a strong power vigorously opposed to it. It is understood that the state will be asked for an appropriation of $40,000 to continue the operating of the canal, and it is looked upon as being impossible that such a bill will be railroaded through, the Legisla ture. Looking backward in the history of the canal it will be noted that for the six years ending November 15, 1885, the canal system cost the State $471,000, over and above its earnings. Since then, with the exception of 1898, when the State sunk $100,000 in the canal, each year's . expenses in excess of earnings has been about $70,000. The Turkeyfoot Lake club will vig orously oppose the operating of tho canal next year. The members will ask that the legislature restrain the canal system from drawing water from the lake. They will also fight against the appropriations being granted. If the bill is defeated it will likely be dono by this club. The northern division of the canal loses about $25,000 every year. Yet, notwithstanding this terrible onslaught on the pocketbooks of the taxpayers, the RepubliCcin junketing expeditions on the canal have been the most popular series of uses to which it has been put. Cost has never been taken into consideration A big time for the few at the expense of the many has been the plan so regularly carried out. No wonder the red fire committee has to do double turn.

Editok Dejiockat: I wish to use a little space in your valuable paper in regard to the an nexation of a portion of the town ship of Portage. In the first place the City Dads are in favor of a scheme to rob the township of about all of the tax paying people, or at least the best part of them. If the annexa tion is made there will not be enough tax payers left to keep up the schools. We are doing well enough now. Our funds are in good shape, with about $5,000 on hand to run to the next collection. The City Dads are in hopes of getting a slice oil of that fund to help raise salaries. An nexation will ruin about half of the schools in Portage township. The No. 1 school building is so close to the annexation line that it will be ruined, as there are not pupils enough to pay for the teachers. We have been taxed to build the school building and now the City Dads are determined to take that from us. The Dads want to rob the township to .help them out of debt. They must think we are a set of mullet-headed fools to let them rob us of what we have been taxed for. It will be a very easy matter to talk about getting money in that way to pay their debts. They can run the city, but they will find a little trouble to run the township. All we ask is leMhe city pay their debts and we will pay ours. If we have got to be robbed we had better all go into bankruptcy Jogether. The Dads,, would like to Tiave all North"Hirr turn in and help them to a few thou sands to squander in tiie way of a high living, but I think they will find a tough row to hoe before they get through.

Natural Gas Notice to the Citizens of Akron: In order to introduce into all homes in the city of Akron in the shortest possible time the use of Natural Gas, The East Ohio Gas-company will give A Discount, From the Present Fixed Rates, of 5c For Each 1,000 Cubic Feet. Of gas used for domestic purposes during the year com mencing July 1st, 1899, and ending July 1st, 1900. As the company is making all house connections at actual cost of materials and labor, it believes that this saving in the price of gas will go largely towards the expense of piping the houses and will give the company the advantage of having every citizen (even the poorest) as a consumer, thus affording to all the best and cheap est fuel. To encourage the use of gas by manufacturers, special rates will be given on application at the office. EAST 0 HI0 GAS CO MO, President
