tho most odoriferous politicians of his
generation but upon the broader question

the august eenato shall deliberately ap

M'rk Haonn, tho corrupt, Is not to
have his no.it In tho senate without a
struggle, and ho will discover before this
thing Is over that the peoplo aro going to
have a verdlot concerning the expediency
of corruption as a national characteristic.
They propose that the question will bo
presented In so broad a bonso that while
Hanna will feel the crushing weight of
public disapproval, his connection with
it will In only incidental, tho stability of
public Institutions being assailed and the
right of self government and majority
rule being at li.ue.
There can't be any question about the
Otis case. Why, Tom Campbell, the well

and Diok are said to have sent as tho first
installment of the $10,000. The connection
is too positive to admit of question and it

WILMOT
Has it Little Excitement Over
the
' Hanging of John I. J one
. in Klllgy.
John P Jones, the statosman from
JJorth Liwrenoe, was hung In elllgy at
Yllmot, this county, Thursday night.
'Tho hanging was done by a large crowd
of men and boys, though not mnoh nolso
was nude and many of the oltlens of tho
little village knew nothing of It until they
arose this morning. Then they found
.htf "figure hanging from a scantling In
front of one of the stores on the square.
It was dressed In a red shirt, broad-
brimmed hat, trousers and shoes. On the
breast wus a i ard bearing the words
'Traitor Jones " bunpended to tho feet
was a placard which read, "These shoes
- were worn by Jell Davis and Benedict
-Arnold." More excitement was caused
, , this morning when It was first seen by
! the cltUens thnn during tho time of the
hanging. It was taken down nnd carried

Claim to the Seat of
A, Hanna.
OF THE LEGAL YOTES,
Ho voluntarily exclaimed that ho
couldn't sje how Hollcnbeck and Dlok
could escape a long term, yet
he Is a man who Is frlondly to both.
A fair vote In the United States senate
will keep Hanna out, and the fact that
Ilnnna cannot vo'oon the question raised
concerning his own seat will militate nt
least oao vote In tho direction of an
honest decision.
Ono of tho men who hab had a consider
able finger in this latest step Is a very
much vilified cltlzan known as J'hn P.
Jones. His motives have been unstint
edly us? tiled,, yet he conducted himself
with a dignity and decorum that has re
sulted In the confusion of those who have
approached him in an untoward humor.
Jones knows all the facts, lie knows too
that ho has beyn abused, hut bo Is bid
ing his time and intends to produce such
evidence as ho has at hand nt the proper
tlmo Without the slightest feeling of re
sentment against his traducers he says
that he will demonstrate tho correctness
of his position and believes that a major
ity of tho people of Stark county hold In
dividual honesty nbavo putty fealty. He
thinks that it is high time somebody Is
running on n Republican platform re
commending purity of elections nnd dis
countenancing brutality nnd bribery.
While what Mr. Jones thinks nbout it
mny not obtain largely In tho great battle
before the United States sennto, when
MoKlsson contests tho sent of Hanna, tho
fact of his determined front Is of In
terest in Stark county. Yonr correspond

In doing justice to the value of the Item
as a positive news feature If thero should
bo neglect to btnte that one of the liveliest
of tin Hanna workers, and ono whose
actions have not n-eoped scrutiny, is Con
gressman It W. Tnyler, of the Eighteenth
district."" Tangibility of evidence Is not
uow nt hand, but It Is not unlikely thnt
the affairs at Columbus may be gone In
to to buoh nn extent that Mr Tnyler may
bo asked about where he was and what
he was doing on ono particular occasion
ut least. It Is sufficient now to say that
Mr. Tnyler will have nn lntereitlng tlmo
when ho comes np for re election. It
has boon said that T. V Turner, of Can
ton has an understanding with Tnyler,
and that Turner has promised to keep
out of tlu way and nsslst Tnyler to a
third term This will not bo allowed
without n struggle. If Turner wants to
run theie will not bo much complaint,
but In connection with tho affairs now
under investigation here, it has been de
cided that Taylor must bo defeated. If
It Is necessary John I Jones will run
Independently. Jones Is being encouraged
by labor unions everywhere in the dls
tilct. He bus recelied word thnt at a
meeting of the Masslllon Trades and
Labor Assembly his appointment ns
chairman of the labor committee of the
legislature was endorsed.
So It will ba seen that while MoKlsson
Is fighting Ilauiiu, tho pnrtlsius In each
faction will be engaged In local strife.
Stark county will lie Interested every
Inch of tho way.

durlug the past seven or eight years of the
Contml National Hank, ono of tho fore
most commercial hanks In Cleveland.
That bank was founded by Mr. Sullivan
and several prominent capitalists In
Cleveland and under his energetic man
agement has met with great success. Mr.
Sullivan is also treasurer of two building
and loan associations, and is connected
with ninny other institutions of a finan
cial and public character, Including tho
Ohio Soldiers' Home at Sandusky, of
which he is president.
Mr. Lolehot, tho now cashier, Is ono of
the best known young men In this city.
He was connected with tho Savings Do
poslt Hank of Isaao Harter & Sons for
about fourteen years, resigning to fill
the position of county nudltor, which he
held two terms. Tho directors of tho

so to do in the future.

THE HOYS WHO THINK HE ISN'T
A COMER ARE FOOLED
C. C. Pnoknrd, formerly of the Detroit
Evening Journal, now a leading Repub
lican of the Mnumee valley and editor of
the .Toledo Journal, an Independent
paper, is a mnn who has hnl dealings
with men and Is nble to judgo them fair
ly. He thinks John P. Jones, of Stark
county, Is a big man and a comer. Hero
Is what Mr Packard writes of Mr. Jones
in the Journal of Jan. 10
I have watched many publlo gather
ings, conventions nnd legislative bodies.
I saw the closing hours of that memora
ble fight at Lansing, Mich., when Senntor
Zach Chandler, the boss of Mlcnlgnn
politics, went down to defeat and tho
weak Chrlstiancy was elovatcd to a seat
In tho United States senate. I watched
Garfield repel tho crown in Chicago, nnd
In tho repelling win tho presidency. I
watched the groat bolt, hoaded by Georgo
William Curtis, when tho Republican
party was rent In twnln over tho Blnlne
candidacy. I sat In the wigwam In that
same city and listened In tho early morn
ing hours ns Ilourko Cochran held five
nnd twenty thousand peoplo spell bound
In his vnin attempt to prevent the third
nomination of Cleielnnd, the Infamous.
I say I have chanced to witness many of
these historical events, nnd yet In them
all I do not remember to have witnessed
a more dramatic episode thnu occurred in
tho housa of representatives Tuesday
last when John P. Jones, of Stark
county, in a brief but magnificent ad
dress, announced his Independence of
even presidential Interference and boldly
Insisted thnt he would not bow tho knee
to Baal.
It does not matter whother ono were
touched with sympathy with tho antls or
held tenaciously to Hanna the effort was
magnificent and stamped this whilom
brawny miner ns ono of the coming big
men of the stnte. It was not so much in
what he said albeit his words were
powerful, but In the manner In whloh ho
presented his cause. Imnglni n legisla
tive chamber packed and crowded to tho
utmost capacity, humanity limited In
numbers only by the stone walls about.
Understand that hero was tho cruolnl
point In the bitterest fight Ohio, tho state
of hot and nngry political contentions,
has known. Comprehend thnt here nnd
now, within the brief spue of mlnut s
to be counted on tho two bauds, tho fnte
of tho machine, splendid, nudaolous,
corrupting power hedged and bulwarked
by tho great influence of the administra
tion and supported by every force known
to unlimited wealth, wns to be decided.
You might hnvo been the stnunchest
Hnuimlte of them nil, and yet you must
hnvo been thrilled when this big, fine
specimen of mnnhood urose In nil his
strength, and, assailed by hisses which
for the moment turned thnt nugust
chamber Into a den of snakes, defiantly
faced his aBsaultrrs; brave, bold, un
flinching. And ns ho stood thero In tho
middle aisle, and, tossing back his mane
of brown hnlr from his brond, high foro
heiul, as a lion might face uncounted foes,
declured his ndherency to Republican
principles and to the administration he
love, and, above and beyond all this,
superior to his admiration and devotion
to McKlnley, Insisted that us a patriot
ho would vote against Hiinnn. Tho
speeoh wus uot long but it covored tho
ground. And u mnn was talking. Six
feet two or three, brond of shoulder, with
a front of Jove nnd a bearing whloh
plainly avouched the dauntless couingo of
thcrr.r.n; In a voice exquisitely modu
lated, full, resonant nnd powerful, filling
the groined arches with melody and pen
etrating to the uttermost confines of the
great hall, It rang out In splendid defense
of the common people, that beleaguered
throng which tolls and suffers while the
mighty provnll. As I said, it was not
so much tho word6 although this man
Jones voiced tho best defeme of tho
courso of tho recalcitrants offered in the
capltol throughout the entire fight, but
tho man that impressed. Arid, exoept I
greatly misjudge him, we are certain to
hear more of tbls erstwhile humble
miner, born and bred to toll, ere the
history of the ensuing years are written.
It was a great effort, and deserves, ns It
must receive form all who listened to it,
hearty and generous applause.
