NO. 180.
TUESDAY. OCTOBER 24
JUST A WORD.
We want the citizens of Akron to
note that the Democrat was dis
posed to say not a word personal to
any of the candidates upon the
Republican county ticket" until the
Dobson paper began to abuse, Tillify
and belittle the candidates upon the
Democratic ticket.
For our part we were content that
the campaign should be conducted
entirely upon National and State
issues, as every speaker of repute in
Ohio has suggested, and to that end
have confined discussion hitherto
striotly to those' issues.
It was not that the local Demo
cratic party lacked county issues
that national issues were kept to the
front, but because of a desire on the
part of the Democratic organization
to avoid anything that might savor
of a contest on chiefly personal
issues.
But since the Dobson organ, in its
usual offensive style, has repeatedly
charged that the candidates on the
Democratic ticket are "nonentities,"
"do nothings," "weaklings" and
unworthy of the support or
confidence of the people, the
Democrat and the local Democratic
organization is going to defend them,
and incidentally let the people
know something about the candi
dates upon the other side.
The Democratic candidates for
county offices, in all the qualities
that go to make honest and efficient
public servants, are the peers of
any or all of the men whom the
Republican party presents for re
election and it will require some
better authority than the Dobson
paper to gainsay this statement.
Not one of the candidates upon
the Democratic ticket has ever con
tributed a cent to a corruption fund
for controlling legislation against
their interests and would not
so contribute if elected nor have
they ever lobbied for the defeat of a
salary reduotion bill whose passage
was demanded by more than 99 per
cent of the people. And they are not
trying to buy their election with
money which they have been enabled
to filch from the pockets of their
constituents as the price of their
unworthy opposition to the .salary
bill.
Can all of the Republican candi
dates say as muoh?
Not one of the Democratic candi
dates is in favor of buildiug up a
machine to act as an organized lobby
when privilege-hunting corporations
want favors from Akron's Couuoil.
Not one of them is in favor of ap
pointing men to the Board of City
Commissioners who will act as the
proxies of franchise grabbers and
politicians.
"Where do the Repablican candi
dates stand upon these issues? They
were all nominated by the same
power, the local Office Holders'
Trust.
These are only a few of the many
issues which the Democrat is going
to submit to the people within the
next few weeks, now that the Dob
son paper has prepared the way.
Any one of them constitute a valid
reason why the Republican county
ticket should be defeated. It is con
trolled from top to bottom by the
most exclusive and oppressive Trust
that has ever operated in Summit
county. Dobson's paper may sling
mud and make fun of the personnel
of the Democratic ticket. The Dem
ocrat will discuss the issues. Then
let the people decide.
IGNORING CHAIRMAN STUART.
It is a matter of common report in
local Republican circles that Pro
bate Judge Anderson has cut adrift
from the local Republican Executive
committee and is relying upon his
fTRJTDE.cOUNCiT5
A GLANCE AT
The Beacon has been making a series of personal attacks upon Repre
sentative Kempel, calling him a "nonentity," and charging that he did
nothing in the last legislature except draw his salary. Wo quote from last
night's Beacon:
"If any man can point out anything that Representative Kem
pel did in the last legislature, except to vote on the roll calls, and
especiallv to vote for Robert E. McKisson for United States Sena
tor, and to draw his salary, he would be conferring a favor on the
Democratic party by giving it to world immediately."
It is with pleasure that the Democrat furnishes the Dobson paper
the information it desires:
Representative Kempel voted for Mayor McKisson because he pre
ferred McKisson to Mark Hanna.
He worked and voted for the bill to repeal the Fifty Year Franchise
law, under whose provisions Mark Hanna had tried to grab valuable
Franchises at Cleveland.
He worked and voted for the bill to give the people the Initiative and
Referendum.
He worked and voted for the abolition of the prison contract system
upon all goods coming into competition with free labor.
He worked and voted for the passage of the bill to permit the people to
ride for two cents a mile on steam railroads.
In conjunction with Representative Russell and Senator Alexander,
he worked and voted for the Russell Salary bill, which would have
saved the people of Summit county
not been defeated by the combined efforts of Summit county's Republican
office-holders. He also worked and voted for the General Salary bill.
He worked and voted for the bill

He worked and voted for the bill

that would have encumbered the Statute books with useless legislation.
He opposed every bill that was antagonistic to the people's interests.
There were 109 members in the House of Representatives of which Mr.
Kempel was a member. Of the 810
for passage, Mr. Kempel was a member of committees that made reports
upon 111 of these bills, a very large
out of 109.
This is Mr. Kempel's record. It is a very good one. The people of
Summit county, who are going to return him to the General Assembly, are
very well satisfied with it. But the Beacon, which for a fortnight has been
yearning with the perseverence of a lost soul in the wilderness to know
what Mr. Kempel did in the last Legislature, will not dare publish this
record, even in whole or in part.
own private machine to effect his
re-election.
The motive for this is very appar
ent. It will be remembered that while
Judge Stuart was doing all in his
power a few months ago in behalf of
the telephone users' fight for better
service and cheaper rates, the proxies
of Judge Anderson upon the Board
of City Commissioners were doing
the bidding of the telephone monop
oly.
Their every act was intended to
nullify the good work undertaken by
the Citizens' committee.
When these things are recalled, is
it any wonder that Judge Anderson
is ignoring his party's Executive
committee, of which Judge Stuart is
the honorable head, and has placed
his canvass exclusively in the hands
of the private machine which ho has
builded up in his nine years of office
holding? There are a great many Republi
cans in Akron, however, who do not
approve of Judge Anderson's course,
any more than they approve of the
position taken by him throughout
the telephone fight. They insist
that however unfair and under
handed Judge Anderson's treatment
of the Citizens' committee may have
been he had no reason to fear like
treatment from Judge Stuart's com
mittee; Judge Stuart is too honorable
a man to take advantage of any one,
even a public enemy, in that way.
Be this as it may, Judge Ander
son's distrust of Judge Stuart is all
too evident!
What does all this signify? Does
it imply a studied insult or appre
sion of defeat?
Let the citizens of Akron who
stood by Judge Stuart and the Citi
zens' Committee in their great fight
for popular rights answer these ques
tions. CLUTCHING AT STRAWS.
The Beaoon calls attention to the
fact that Mayor Jones has had some
very enthusiastic meetings in Ohio,
and then asks the question: "What
do thy mean?" After a long philo
sophical discussion of the question
the Beacon decides that they "don't
mean anything."
Read what it says:
"Witness the marvelous meetings

would have carried Ohio and Sum

was very decisive."
This forced process of reasoning
may be comforting to the politicians
and office seekers who have every
thing at stake in the election of the
Hanna ticket this fall and who need
something of the kind to bolster
them up, but to the unprejudiced
mind it indicates nothing more than
the hopelessness of the local Hanna
cause.
Everybody who knows anything
about loonl political conditions knows
why Mr. Bryan did not carry Summit
county. In the first place our Re
publican friends had the advantage
of an enormous campaign fund,while
their opponents were entirely with
out, means. In addition to this the
Republican organization was fortu
nate in having the co-operation of a
powerful league composed of several
thousand of Akron's business men
and leading citizens. At the head of
this organization was Mr. Paul E
Werner, Akron's prominent manu
facturer, who entered into the spirit
of the campaign with his customary
vigor and enterprise, spending large
ly of his own means in behalf of the
election of Mr. McKinley, and giving
his time and energy without stint.
Every Democrat, and every Re
publican who cares to be fair about
the matter knows that if it had not
been for the hard work of Mr. Wer
ner and the business men who stood
at his back, the Republican ticket
would have gone down to over
whelming defeat in Summit county.
The notorious ingratitude of
Messrs. Hanna and Dick to these
business men whose timely efforts
saved Hanna and his party the
humiliation of defeat in "Col. Dick's
own county" in 1896 is not the least
of the causes that are going to defeat
the Hanna ticket this fall.
The desperation of the local Hanna
cause is further evidenced by the
fact that the chief management of
the campaign has been taken from
the hands of the regular organiza
tion, and the candidates for county
offices are relying wholly upon their
own private machines to pull them
through. This is especially notice
able in too canvass of Judge
Anderson and Clerk Hershey.
Judge Nash is not the only office
seeker whose chickens are coming

pay their county officers. In the of

ered up beneath a mass of technical
ities that none but a trained lawyer
can tell whether they are in excess
of the law's allowance. The fact
that men retire independently rich
after two terms in these offices ought
to be sufficient evidence to the people
that the charges are exorbitant. The
only way to bring about a reduction
of the fees and salaries is to elect the
Democratic county ticket, composed"
of men who are pledged to work for
the law's repeal. Re-elect ihe pres
ent incumbents and they will defeat
the passage of any bill reducing
their salaries, just as was done by
them two years ago.
"Remember that this -great coun
try of ours, as well as all European
countries, paid tribute to the Moorish
pirates as late as 1830," said Col.
Roosevelt in a speech at Cincinnati,
Saturday. And even now this great
country of ours is paying tribute of
$12,000 a year to. the Sultan of Sulu,
besides making a compact with the
Sultan to exclude our missionaries
from his dominions, and permit him
and hie people to practice polygamy
and slavery. The great -Decatur
settled the score with the
Moorish pirates. Who is to
settle with the Sultan of
Sulu? Certainly not the Adminis
tration which dishonored the flag by
counseling an abject and un-American
treaty with the Sultan.
Not long ago Judge Anderson pre
pared a communication which was to
have been published in the event of
Mayor Young's nomination for Pro
bate Judge. The communication set
forth Judge Anderson's reason's
for deadlocking the appointment
of City Commissioners. The people
are just as much interested now in
knowing Judge Anderson's reasons
as they were at the time of the Dem
ocratic convention. The Democrat
will publish the communication.
Judge, send it along.
If Jddge E. W. Stuabt, the gen
tlemanly chairman of the Summit
County Republican Executive Com
mittee, would publish a communica
tion showing just what Probate
Judge Anderson has done to protect
Akron's telephone users from arro
gant treatment and extravagant
charges imposed by the local tele
phone monopoly, he would be per
forming a great public service.
It is no unusual thing for the
County Clerk's ofllce to pay in excess
of $8,000 in a single year. How
many of Akron's workingmen, or
business men, either, who are taxed
to pay this exorbitant salary, would
be willing to quit their employment
or their business to accept the ofllce
of County Clerk at that salary?
"Go soak your head," was the
reply of Senator Hanna when a
friend of Mayor Jones asked the
Senator a question at the Newburg
meeting Saturday night. This is
equivalent to Grover Cleveland's
celebrated inj unction of "Keep off the

HARMAN
Believed to Have Stolen
Cylinder Brass.
Placed Under Arrest Monday Afternoon
John Brennan Has Returned.
In Police court Tuesday morning
Wm. Harman was arraigned on a
charge of larceny, preferred by Wil
kofsky Bros., scrap iron dealers of
Washington Et., and sentenced to
$25 and costs and SO days at the
works.
Harmon was arrested in the office
of Wilkofsky Bros. Monday after
noon by Prisoukeeper Washer and
OfficerDoerler. Harman having been
invited to the scrap dealers' office as
though nothing was suspected
against him.
The defendant was charged with
breaking a cylinder of an engine and
taking from it $12 worth of brass,
which he afterwards told Prison
keeper Washer, he sold to Henry
Schwartz a saloon keeper. It is
thought that Harman has been im
plicated with some of the brass steal
ing which has caused considerable
annoyance of late.
John Brennan, the little boy ac
cused of stealing an umbrella from
Louisa F. Pfeiffer, and who skipped
out a few days ago when the charge
was to have been given a hearing in
Police court, bas returned and the
case will be tried Thursday morning.
Antony Bauer pleaded not guilty
to a charge of disorderly conduct,
and case continued until Wednes
day. James O'Brian, Pat Mullen and
Johu P. McEnery were eaoh fined $-2
and costs for intoxication.
James Reed Injured.
Mr. James Reed struck his leg
against a cake of ice in such a man
ner as to bruise it severely. It bo
came very much swollen and pained
him so badly that he could not walk
without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used sev
eral kinds of liniment and two and a
half gallons of whisky in bathing it,
but nothing gave auy relief until he
began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost a com
plete cure iu a week's time and he
believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would havo had to be
amputated. Mr. Reed is one of the
leading merchants of Clay Court

How They Proved a Paying Invest
mentIncrease On Erie.
The transportation officials of tho
Ohio division of the Erie have just
completed a report 'of the number of
cars handled during the month of
August, which is immensely inter
esting, especiallyas it shows the vast
increase in the business which the
road is able to do by reason of the
larger engines it now owns. The re
port of the number of cars handled
shows that in August, lS9i, it moved
5,550; in the same month in 1897, it
handled 6,192; in 1S9S it moved 6,893,
and iu 1899 it bandied 8,237.
There is a vast saving somewhere,
and the railroad men have been look
ing into it. They find that during
that time the road has been laying in
these heavy engines and the heavy
equipment. They know that the old
engines could not haul such loads,
hence the larger loads are due to the
new engines. It hns demonstrated to
them that the new and larger en
gines not only are a paying venture,
but have solved a problem thnt the
railroad men havo been working at
for years.
