PURCHASING AN ENDORSEMENT.
Were it not for the fact that candi
dates upon tho local Republican
ticket have the backing of an enor
mous campaign fund were they
running wholly upou their merits
and the justice of their cause, as tho
Democratic candidates, being men of
moderate means, are compelled to
run there would be no doubt of the
result of the local election in Sum
mit county next Tuesday.
A week ago the Desiocbat told
the people that the candi
datos upon the Republican county
ticket had at their personal
service a campaign fund crowding
oloBely upon $10,000. Every cent of
this fund represented money un
worthily taken from tho people of
Summit county through the defeat
of the Russell Salary bill a bill
which the Republican convention
two years ago had pledged its
nominees to support and for whose
passage two thousand prominent
Republicans of Summit county had
petitioned.
A vote for the Republican county
ticket next Tuesday will be a vote to
r
continue the payment of exorbitant
salaries to county officials and an
endorsement of the under-handed
methods by whioh tho Russell Sal
ary bill was defeated. Success this
fall will strengthen the Machine
politicians in their ability to defeat
the wishes and the interests of the
people.
Nothing but the overwhelming de
feat of the Machine candidates will
teach the politiciaus in control that
'there is a limit to the wrongs and in
dignities to whioh the citizens of
Summit county will submit.
Rebuke the Machine by supporting
the Democratic county ticket.
THE LAST EXPEDIENT.
Probate Judge Anderson has
abandoned all hope of getting Re
publican votes and is bending his
whole efforts to getting Democratic
votes.
The sole issue upon which the
Judge and his organ are begging
for votes in the closing days of tho
campaign, to the exclusion of all
other issues and the interests of all
other candidates, is that he will
appoint a certain Democrat to the
office of Commissioner.
Meanwhile the Republican candi
dates for Commissioner, who have
been promised, only to be turned
down; the Democratic candidates
who will be willing to stand by the
interests of the people through thick
and thin if appointed Commissioner;
and the thousands of independent
citizens of both parties who are dis
gusted with Judge Anderson's des
perate attempts to build up a per
sonal political Machine at the ex
pense of the city's best interests, are
going to vote solidly againEt Judge
Anderson next Tuesday.
Judge Anderson has played his
last.trump. It will fail.
"Jones and Labor His Sucker
Rod Company is a Non Union Shop
Jones Opposed the Unionizing of
It How Does It Tally With Mr.
Jones' Professions of Friendship for
Workingmen?" Under the above
scare heading the Beacon printed a
long articlo last night to convince
Republican Union workingmen that
they are making a mistake when
they vote for Mayor Jones. This is
demagogy, pure aud simple. Ask
the men of the Street Railway Union
and kindred labor organizations of
Akron how much love the Beacon
has for organized labor when it is
not engaged in a political campaign?
A paper that does not carry the union
label itself because of its persistent
antagonism to the principle of or
ganized labor, should not pick flaws
in the labor record of others not
even Jones, whom the Beacon used
to account a pretty good Republican.
In convebsation with an -old
soldier friend this week, Chairman
Stuart, of tho Republican Executive
Committee, remarked that he had
"never tried to turn the Board of
City Commissioners into a political
machine while holding the office of
Probate Judge." Any of Judge
Stuart's many warm friends in Sum
mit county will cheerfully testify
that this is a fact. But what ona of
them has said as much for Judge
Anderson? Mr. Dobson's paper is
the only authority that has given
Judge Anderson a certificate of non
interference in the affairs of Akron.
Against the testimony of such prom
inent Republicans as ex-City Com
missioner Jos. Hugill, Senator J.
Park Alexander, chairman of the
Citizens' Committee of Fif ty, and
many other public spirited members
of the Citizens' Committee all of
whom have insisted upon one occas
ion or another that Judge Auderson
has been a dictator the testimony of
the Dobson paper does not count.
Jodoe Axdebson seems to imag
ine that he is the only candidate
upon the Republican county ticket
this fall. The interests of all other
candidates are being sacrificed or
subordinated by the Judge and the
Dobson paper to give the Judge a
second term. The Republican or
ganization is being demoralized by
Judge Anderson's selfish truckling
to the friends of a Democrat whom
the Judge is trying to retain in office
at all hazards. An official who
makes it a practice to give his own
party only indifferent support, but
who is constantly trimming in his
official conduct as a means of bid
ding for the support of members of
the opposite party, sooner or later
comes to grief. Indications are that
Judge Anderson is scheduled to be
s helved by his party next Tuesday.
Republican politicians are con
tinuing the cry that they want Mr.
McKInley endorsed when it is al
roady certain that he cannot be
endorsed. Even if Judge Nash
should be elected by a small plurality
they could not claim it as an endorse
ment of the administration. The
presidential policies are only on trial
in presidential or congressional
years. The claim of Mr. Hanna's crew
of office-seekers that the president is
on trial in every election this year,
whether it be for state or county
officers or road supervisors, is the
last cry in behalf of an expiring and
hopeless cause. If ever despairing
politicians tried to force absurd
and foreign issues upon the people,
it has been done by Mr. Hanna's
managers in this campaign.
It will be remembered that iu the
campaign last spring, when they felt
themselves losing grouud,the friends
of Mr. Arthur J. Rowley circulated &
petition asking the Republicans of
Akron to vote for Mr. Rowley on the
strength that it would be "holding
up the hands of President McKin
ley." Some of Judge , Anderson's
friends are appealing for votes for
the Judge upon the same issun in
this campaign. For fear that they
might have overlooked the fact the
Democbat reminds them that Mr.
Rowley came within 850 votes of
carrying Akron.
At its Dayton convention last
spring, the League of Ohio Republi
can clubs adopted the following
resolution:
"We declare our uncompromising
hostility to trusts and combines and
call upon the good people of the
state, regardless of party, to hold up
the hands of Attorney General Mon
nett in his vigorous efforts to secure
the enforcement of the law."
Attorney General Monnettgot just
one vote in Mr. Hanna's convention.
That was the way the "good people"
upheld his hands. What will the
League of Republicans do about it?
Workingmen, g&
"Speaking about trusts," said
President Walsh, of tho Akron &
Cuyahoga Falls Rapid Transit com
pany, today, "the railway companies
are being squeezed about as hard as
the workingmen. We have just
given an order to the Steel Trust for
some new rails at $37 a ton. A year
ago these same rails could have been
bought for from $16 to $18 per ton."
Mr. Walsh is more than ever con
firmed in his opinion that the only
way to curtail the evils of trust
operation is to vote the Democratic
ticket.
If Judge Andebson would
devote half as much personal energy
to re-electing the Republicans who
are candidates upon his own ticket
as he does to the attempt to retain in
office a City Commissioner who is
not a member of his own party, lie
would get more Republican votes
next Tuesday. Hundreds of prom
inent Republicans are going to vote
against Judge Anderson because he
abandoned his own party's cause and
demoralized its organization by
attempting to promote his own sel
fish Interest.
Oveb iu Europe when a subject
speaks lightly of tho king they call it
"lese-majesty," and the punishment
is more or less severe. In Akron,
when a Republican citizen dares to
say a word against the uncrowned
king who rules Akron by proxy from
his throne on Court Honse Hill, they
employ the Dobson paper to read
him out of tho Republican party.
And yet it is a common boast that
America guarantees to her citizens
the right of free thought and free
speech.
What has Senator J. Park Alex
ander been doing in this campaign?
It is well for him that be has made
no public utterance against the
powers that be, for if he had he would
have been read out of his party in
WHO IS THE
"The people had an opportunity of
seeing a man, claiming to be big
enough to be president, acting the
part of a demagogue on the rear
platform of a car."
The foregoing is an extract from
the press dispatches of Mark Han
na's speech at Bowling Green on the
25th ultimo.
Since Mark Hauua and President
McKinley are in practice 6trictly
convertible terms, it is no injustice
to the latter to imputo this language
to him as well a3 to his principal
the junior senator from Ohio.
The speech suggests another ques
tion pertinent to it: Did the people
a week or two before have an oppor
tunity of seeing a man, claiming to
bo big enough to be twice a presi
dent, acting the part of a demagog
on the rear platform of a car? It
may be said indeed that in this com
parison Mr. Bryan has at least some
negative points of advantage. It is
safe to say that his hippodrome did
not tour the country at the expense
of the government or as the bounty
of the corporations. He did not
spend his time in electioneering
while drawing a salary from the pub
lic funds of $50,000 a year. He did
not take with him a 6uite com
posed of high officials whose
duties are supposed to keep them
elsewhere, and when ho made a
statement of fact he did not conceal
the most material part of it upon the
presumption that his hearers either
were too ignorant to know it, or were
too lazy to verify it.
For example, the president, from
the rear platform of his car defended
his imperial policy by citing our
former acquisitions of territory. He
was especially voluble in his praises
of Jefferson for negotiating the great
Louisiana purchase, and argued
from it that the conquest of thePhil
lipinos must be equally praise
worthy. But one thing he was care
ful not to tell his hearers; he did not
so much as refer to the following
provision of the treaty by which
that purchase was consummated.
"ARTICLE III.
"The inhabitants of the ceded ter
ritory shall be incorporated in "the
Union of the United States, and ad
mitted as soon as possible, according
to the principles of the Federal Con
stitution, to the'enjoyment of all the
rights, advantages and immunities of
citizens of the Uuited States; and in
the meantime they shall be protected
in tne tree enjoyment of their lib
erty, prosperity and the religion
which they profess."
And yet Mr. McKinley well knew
that a like guaranty to the Filipinos
is not, and never has been, within the
purpose or intent of the present ad
ministration iu its scheme for the
subjugation of their islands. Was
his iteration and reiteration of the
beneficent results of the Louisiana
purchase, his statement of a half
truth and the suppression of the other
half of it, fair and plain dealing with
the American people, who so far re
spected the chief magistracy of our
country as to go to hear him?
With equal unction the President
spoke of the tieaty which evidenced
the purchase of Florida. But from
aught that was heard from the "rear
platform of his car," no one would
know that a part of that treaty reads
thus :
"ARTICLE VI.
"The inhabitants of the territories
which His Catholic Majesty cedes to
the United States, by this treaty,
shall be incorporated in the Union of
the United States, as soon as may be
consistent with the principles of the
Federal Constitution, and admitted
to the enjoyment of all the privileges,
rights, and immunities of the citi
zens of the United States."
When Mr. McKinley held up the
Florida purchase as a shining exam
double quick time by the Dobson
paper. Aside from reading out of
the party all prominent Republicans
who have uttered a word against
Judge Anderson, Mr. Dobson's paper
has had very little to do since the
campaign opened.
Workingmen, g&
It will bo observed that the Bea
con has dropped its stereotyped joke
to the effect that Mayor Young and
City Clerk Isbell were trying to have
Mr. Phelps withdraw from the
county ticket. If every Democrat
in Summit county will support Can
didate Phelps as faithfully and as
energetically as the men whom the
Beacon has been abusing havo sup
ported him, Mr. Phelps will be
elected with the largest plurality
ever given a Democratic candidate
in Summit county.
In his speech at Assembly hall
last night Senator Foraker said that
there is so much money on hand in
the national treasury, $290,000,000
more or lest that Secretary Gage
does not know how to get rid of
it. The war of conquest in tho Phil
ippines is rapidly solving the prob
lemgetting rid of upwards of a
million dollars a day. If the war is
continued it will soon become a
question of more bonds or more taxes.
The President of tho Akron Bar
bers' "Union says that Judge Ander
son even attempted to dictate what
that Union should do in the matter
of endorsing candidates for City
Commissioner. If the voters of Sum
mit county vote to sustain tho ad
ministration of "Judge Anderson

where this dictatorial polioy will
end.

ple of imperialism, he know that his
treaty contained no such reservation
of rights for the people of his to-be-conquered
territory; on the con
trary, he knew that such a provision
would be quite inconsistent with the
plans of the exploiters who make up
his foreign policy.
Similar reference was made by the
President, in the tour of his hippo
drome, to the territory acquired by
us as a result of the Mexican war, in
1S48. He perhaps forgot, at all
events, he failed to mention, one or
two things to be found in the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
"ARTICLE VIII.
" Those who shall prefer
to remain in the said territories may
either retain the title and rights of
Mexican citizens, or acquire those
of citizens of the United States..
ARTICLE IX.
"The Mexicans who, in the terri
tories aforesaid, bhall not preserve
the character of citizens of the Mex
ican Republic, conformably witl
what is stipulated in the preceding
article, shall be incorporated intc
the Union of the United States, ano
be admitted at the proper time (t
bp judged of by the Congress of tin
United States) to the enjoyment oi
nil' the rights of citizens of th
United States, according to the prin
ciples of the Constitution; aud in th
meantime, shall be maintained and
protected in the feee enjoyment ol
their liberty and property and se
cured in the free exercise of their re
ligion without restriction."
Mr. McKinley was dumb as to tbi
treaty obligation which secured full
American rights to all the Mexican'
in California and New Mexico in
1S18, just as his treaty is silent as to
the guaranteed and certain rights of
the Filipino people, whom he calls
"insurgents," but never citizens
present or prospective.
The Gadsden purchase of territory
from Mexico, in 1853, was likewise
dwelt upon by the president, as an
example which ought to reconcile his
hearers with his policy of bhooting
Americanism into the inhabitants of
Luzon. He appears, however, not
to have known, or to have forgotten,
for he said nothing of it, that the
Gadsden treaty contained this stip
ulation. "ARTICLE V.
"All the provisions of the eighth
and nintn, sixteenth ana seventeenth
articles of the treaty of Guadalupe.
muatgo, snail apply to tne territory
ceded by the Mexican Republic in
the first article of the present treaty.
and to all the rights' of persons aud
property, both civil and ecclesiasti
cal, within the same, as fully and as
effectually as if the said articles
were herein again recited and set
forth."
And while Mr. President was thus
reasoning from these treaties to his
treaty, but suppressing the fact, lim
ning through all of them, of solemn
covenants of equality of civil rights
with us, and which makes his basis
of analogy absolutely worthless, aud
in view of the policy pursued by his
General Otis, of refusing even to re
ceive or recognize any deputation
from the Filipinos seeking an ami
cable solution of their disagreemenf
with us, it would not have been en
tirely out of plac9 for Mr. McKinley
to tell his listeners tho purport of
another provision of this same treaty
to which, among others, he so confi
dently appeals in justification of his
policy of conquest:
"ARTICLE VII.
"Should there at any future period
(which God forbid) occur any disa
greement between the two nations
which might lead to a repture I
of their relations and reciprocal
peace, they bind themselves in like
manner to procure by every possible
method the adjustment of every dif
ference; and should they still in this
manner not succeed, never will they
proceed to a declaration of war with-
Akeox's Republicans will observe
that it was only when Judge Ander
son was approaching the time when
he would bo a candidate for a second
term himself that he became an
ardent advocate of the second term
principle in public office. Second
terms cut no figure in the cases of
Messrs. Jos. Hugill and Franklin G.
Stipe. Indeed, a score or so of prom
inent Republicans who had been
'promised" were not even given one
term.
Ay Akbox dealer informs the
Democrat that the increase of
thirty cents a barrel in the price of
salt will net the Salt Trust $1,200,000
a year. And this is an insignificant
sum compared to the tribute the peo
ple have to pay to the five hundred
or more other trusts. The prosperity
of the people Is going into the coffers
of the Trusts. Will the people vote
to sustain the Trust Administration

If any Summit county Democrat
has any other than purely selfish
reasons why Judge Anderson should
be re-olected Probate Judge, the
Democrat would be glad to publish
them. No Democrat can show that
it will be to tho host interests of the
city to havo Judge Anderson re
elected with power to continue tho
proxy system for the noxt three
years. 0

21 of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidal
go for similar cases, which article is
here re-affirmed."
Now article 21, thus referred to,
provides for the settlement of differ
ences by arbitration.
The President wanted his hearers to
believe that in his course in the
Philippine islands he is but tread
ing the path of time-honored Ameri
can precedent and upholding patri
otic American tradition. To induce
this belief it was of course essential
to be silent as to treaty provisions
which destroy the value of tho in
ference he wishes thepublic to draw.
He was equally insistent on the
good which has come to us from the
purchase of Alaska. He said noth
ing about a part of the treaty by
which Alaska became ours. It is
this:
"ARTICLE III.
"The inhabitants of the ceded ter
ritory, according to their choice, re
serving tneir natural allegiance, may
return to Russia within three years;
)"ut if they should prefer to remain
in the ceded territory, they, with the
exception of uncivilized native tribes.
-hall be admitted to the enjoyment of
ill the rights, advantages and im-
uunities of citizens of the United
States, and shall be maintained in
he free enjoyment of their liberty
property and religion."
Now a fair reference to our former
icquisitions of territory should have
included a statement of this uniform
line of treaty agreements by which
the full equality with us of the rights
f citizenship have been so solemnly
safeguarded for incoming peoples,
hut which are not secured to the
Philippine islanders. Why was it
not maue, as well as a frank ac
knowledgement of the world-wide
difference between the peaceable
purchase of territory contiguous to
ours, and the military conquest of
islands in another hemisphert?
But the sins of presidential omis
sion do not end here. Mr. President
said from the "rear platform of his
car," that "America never buys
peace with gold." Here is a singu
lar lapse of memory. He plainly
had forgotten (for otherwiso surely
he would have told it) the treaty by
which three month ago he bought
the peace of his "good brother,"
Hadji Mohamad Womolol Kiram,
otherwise known as the Sultan of
Sulu, paying him therefor ten
thousand dollars, moreor less, and
throwing into the bargain the right
to keep up a slave barracoon and to
maintain a harom of plural wives
two things which Mr. McKinley's
party a generation ago began de
nouncing as "twin relics of barbar
ism," and which it pledged itself to
extirpate, aud did extirpate, at a
cost too well known to us all, and
both of which are nowprohibited by
American law. Tho President did
not even explain to his audience
what kind of a diplomatic acrobat it
takes to make a treaty with his own
subject. Perhaps Mr. President had
a mental reservation up his sleeve in
the fact that Hadji etc. was paid off
in Mexican dollars. But then, in
the Canton porch platitudes these
same, dollars were regarded as so
sinful, so depraved and immoral, so
utterly dishonest that to pass them
off on any one except a Mussulman
would be a grievous wrong.
Mr. McKinley, while "swinging
'round the circle," ala Andy John
son, had a great deal to say about
"destiny" pushing him into his war
of conquest ; about destiny determin
ing duty; about "responsibility born
of duty;" about waging this war
"because in the providence of God
luIS "rcnipeiago nas Deen piaceu in
the hands of the American people;"
licans who are disaffected will kindly
call at the Probate Judge's office,
they will be given a "promise." Mr.
F. W. Rockwell, and a score or more
of other prominentlocal Republicans,
know 'that Judge Anderson can do
his duty well in this particular line.
Two hundred and eighty-six o
Akron's leading citizens and busi
ness men petitioned Judge Anderson
to reappoint Mr. F. G. Stipe, an old
soldier, to the Board of City Com
missioncis, bat Judge Anderson
turned him down at the eud of his
first term. The Machine has sought
to get Mr. Stipe back into line by
giving him tho nomination for real
estate appraiser from a ward in
which he has no earthly show of
election. This is the way of Machine
politics.
The Democbat has it from good
Republican authority that when Mr.
C. S. Seese, the Republican candi
date for Ropresentative,v,Tas a candi
date for delegate to the State Conven
tion, lie remarked, when asked whom
he would support for Governor:
"Any man who is good enough for
Mr. Hanna is good enough for me."
No wonder the Republican friends of
Senator Foraker have organized in
Summit county to invite Mr. Seese
to stay out of the Legislature.
Some of the Court House officials
may have observed tht Senator
Alexander postponed his trip to tho
Sandwich islands long enough to be
in Akron to vote.

that the war "came to us not of our
own seeking," and soon in kindred
pious ejaculations for quantity.
Here again Mr. President forgot to
say what bis former Secretary of
State and his own personal and con
fidential representative in the Span
ish treaty commission was at the
same moment saying in a published
letter, to wit: that our title to the
Philippines rests not at all upon con
quest, but wholly upon purchase,
Mr. Day also saying that this must
be so because when the treaty was
negotiated we were in possession of
only an infinitessimnl strip of Philip
pine territory. Mr. McKinley then,
should have told his hearers, if he
had desired to tell the whole truth ,
why, since our title depends solely
upon a treaty purchase, and since
tho treaty did not go into effect until
each of the parties to it had ratified
it, and since Spain did not ratify it
until late in March, he was claim
ing both title and possession of those
islands as early as December, when
he fulminated his "benevolent as
similation" doctrine. And since it is
thus certain that the islands were
not forced upon us by the fortunes of
war, but were bought for twenty
millions of hard earned dollars, Mr.
President can hardly pose as the
humble instrument of God's provi
dence in waging war on the other
side of the globe, and all his pious
talk about "destiny" and the like
can deceive no man who is not will
ing to be deceived. The fact is, as
Mr. Day's letter "proves, we bought
from Spain an option to fight the
Filipinos, and no amount of patron
izing of Providence will shirk off on
the latter the responsibility for the
present war.
Farnsworth, the man who is under
arrest in Chicago for bigamy, admits
having 45 wives. He puts up as a
defense that as our constitution se
cures to all citizens the uniform
operatioYi of laws iu every part of the
United States, and since the Presi
dent claims that the Sulu islands are
a part of our territory and yet suffers
tho Sultan to keep a plurality of
wives, that since this is so, he,
Farnsworth, ought to go acquit; nor
is it hard to point out the inconsis
tency of his position. Surely Mr.
McKinley will not allow "foreign
pauper labor" in tho wife business to
compete with "home industry" in
the same line.
Mr. President may "shove the
queer" on the poor Hadji Mohamad
Womolol Kiram, in the shape of "dis
honest Mexican dollars; he may
state half truths to tho people from
the rear platform of a car. He may
devolve upon Providence the respon
sibility of an act for the benefits of
which he claims credit for himself;
he ought also to bear in mind Low
ell's verse :
'EI you take a sword an' dror It,
An' go stick a feller thru',
Guv'ment alnt to answor for It.

Ho seems, however, to have been
reading rather, the "Pious Editor's

Treatment of the Eighth
Ohio Boys.
John R. McLean Remembered Them
While They Were In Camp Alger.
In June, 1898, while the Eighth
Regiment, O.V.I., was stationed at
Washington, D. C. John R. McLean
visited the camp, and asked the boys
what they wanted.
Tho boys intimated.that some to
bacco would fill a long-felt waut,and
so Mr. McLean said they should
have all they wanted.
Major Weybrecht detailed Lieut.
W. O. Rutherford of Company B, a
well known Akron young man, to
call on Mr. McLean for the coveted
articles.
Mr. McLean took Lieut. Ruther
ford to a tobacco store and said:
"Now pick out what you want, and
don't limit the quantity."
The soldier boys' benefactor as
sisted in selecting the good, and
when the consignment was ready to
go to camp, there were in it plug to
bacco, finecut. smoking tobacco,
pipes and cigars for all the boys in
tho Third battalion.
When the appreciated gift arrived,
the boys all congratulated and gave
three lusty cheers for John R. Mc
Lean.
During tho hot season, Mr. McLean
also sent a thousand pounds of Ice
every day to Camp Alger.
Yot this beneficent aid to tho boys

small audience. The cast was the

sometimes unkind. There will bo a

The followlnsr. nuoted f r"in the To

although previously unknown here.
won a decided triumph as Dick Fitz-
geraiu. .tie na: a good voice and
acts the part capitally. Histrion
ically he may be considered better
expouet of the part than his prede

of the words. Thoy wero enthusi

Winter in the South.
The season approaches when ones
thoughts turn toward a place where
the inconveniences of a Northern
winter m.iy be escaped. No section
of this country offers such ideal
spots as the Gulf C'-ast on the line of
tho Louisville & Nashville railroad
between Mobile aud New Orleans.
It possesses a mild climate, pure air,
even tempdrHture and facilities for
hunting and fishing enjoyed by no
other section. Accomodations for
visitors are'lirst-clas1', and can be se
cured at moderate prices. Tho L. &
N. R. R. is the only lino by which it
can be reached in through cars from
Northern cities. Through carsched
ules to al.1 points in Florida by this
line are also perfect. Write for
