An Address Issued by the Chairman of the Great Labor Meeting. Columbus, O, Oot. 28 la an address to the workingmen of Ohio Hon. John P. Mc.Namee gives eight reasons why the friends of labor in this state should support the Democratic platform and the Democratic candidates this year. Mr. McNamee Is well known in the labor circles of this state. He was chairman of the labor convention he: J In this city on J une 1, at which a plat form was adopted to be submitted to the trsjor parties. This platform em bodied the demands of labor, and wae presented the following day to the Re pu oilcan state convention. Hon. John J. SulUvan, known for his defense of trusts, was the chairman of the committee on resolutions in the Be publican: state convention. Sullivan is the one member of the senate who declined to vote . for the Valentine' Stewart anti-trust act, although he was present at the time that the vote was taken. Every other me a bar of the senate voted for It. Sullivan re' frained from voting, in the hope that there would not be enough votes to pass the bill, but in this he was disup pointed. h anna's platform. It was well known during the state convention that Senator Hanna die tated every plank in tha platform, Sullivan's duty, together with the committee, was simply to put the sag gestionsof the senator into good ling' ash. When tbe labor plank was pre sented to tbe commutes on resolutions by James Cannon, who was delegated to perform that duty, they were treated with contempt. Even the privilege of a bearing was denied Cannon, who was forcea to hand in tbe resolutions and leave. No notice was taken either of the resolutions or the committee When the Democratic state convention was called, the tame platform, adopted by the labor convention, was presented to it. Tbe suggestions of the workingmen of the state, as adopt' ed at their convention, were favorably received and embodied in the Domo- . cratlc platform. Mr, MtNamee took an active interest in the proceedings of the labor convention, and to his earnest work the workingmen of the state are great ly indebted. He was made chairman of the gathering in recognition of what he bad done lor tne causa 01 laDor, and presided through 1(3 deliberations wi h marked di nity and ability. Since tbe convention he has worked hard la trying to secure to the labor ing man of the slats some o,' tbe things aeuiaoded py tbe labor convention. He was instrumental in demanding that the demands of organized labor be presented to both the Republican and the Democratic party conventions REASONS ASSIGNED. Today he gives the following reasons for his beiiei that the Democratic party's platform and candidates ought to be supported by every friend of labor in the state: 1. Because the platform of the Dem - ocratto party contains the demands of wage earners, and stands lor tne prln ciples oi organized labor. 2. Because the platform of the Republican party contains none of tbe demands of wage earners, and that party has absolutely refused to stand for any of the principles of organized labor. 3. Because the Democratic pa.-ty is the only factor espousing labor's cause that is powerful enough to enforce these demands, or to have those prln ciples enacted into laws. i Because John R. McLean, the Democrat! candidate for governor, has always been a true friend of labor and an earnest supporter of its plncl pies. None of his enemies, political or otherwise, dare deny this statement. If tbey could they would have done so long aco. 5. Because his paper, one of the most powerful In tbe United States, The Cincinnati Enquirer, has always de fended labor in all its struggles for justice, and has proved a formidable factor in its defense. 6. Because the Republican party is the party of organized greed, and stands for the promotion of the Inter ests of large corporations and monopo lies at the sacrifice of the rights of labor. . 7. Because the leader of tbe Republican party, Marcus A. Hanna, is a bloodthirsty tyrant of the deepest dye, because ha it opposed to organized labor and its principles; because he Is at this very hour coining the blood of his miners into money and crushing their very existence out, that he may enjoy all the fruits of their labor. He re fuses to permit them to organize for their protection, and maintains a condition of affairs that makes his mines look more like a convict camp than a free Industry, lie nas always treated organized labor with contempt and corn, and now wants to secure control of onr state government that he may use it to crush labor and roster mono poly and organized greed. 8 Because tne enemies or tabor are at this time trying to divide the labor vote, by saying both parlies are corrupt, and workingmen should vote for some third candicate wno cannot possibly be elected. Workingmen should bear in mind that when tbe Democratic party was reorganized, and became the party cf the people, at Its Chicago convention ia 1396, the corrupt element left it because it could ao longer be used to promote their interest. This element Joined with lu enemies and the enemies of labor to assist la Its defeat. Large corporation at that tlm under the pretense of op posing the coinage plank, intimidated their employes by threats to re' duce wages if Bryan were elected, and in other ways influenced them to sup port the Republican ticket. Their real on action to tbe Democratic party was the fact that it opposed govern ment by injunction, ana tbe other ty rannical methods of crushing laboring men for which the Republican party now stands, since that time tbe Dem' ocratlo party has not been in power and, consequently, has had do ohance to put tbe principles for which it stands into practice, it still stanas-for tboee glorious principles cf right and justice wnicn womngmen loner to see estao liahed. Give it your support: therefore. it is your party now more than ever as it standi for your principles and rignts.

The Times Recorder Fake Factory Has Been Called Down and Exposed, The Times Recorder has not attempted In this campaign to claim that many Democrats were leaving their party to join forces with theboss-ridden party of trusts, deputies and gang rule. In every case where such a claim has been made the Times Recorder discreetly refrained from "naming any names" for reasons well known to the managers of tbe bluff and faka establishment. Tuesday morning, however, concluding that one more sin couid not make its black record much blacker, it published the following Item about the "Huntoon family." most neartrendlng report comes from and even in tbe midst of Intense suffer ing she preserved her geniality Mi s.

The credulous special representative of the Times Recorder was as easy mark for some joker, or he was ao absolutely dishonest that ha thought ha could Impose any sort of a fake upon his paper's readers; or maybe he fell Into bad company and thls was the result. The following affidavit from a prominent citizen of Monroe county explains the whole story of the Hun-toons with their relatives: AFFIDAVIT. State of Ohio, Monroe County, s. s.: D. . Yost being duly sworn according to law says as follows: I have been shown the art!c!e published in the Zanesvllle Times Re corder, stating that a most heart rending report comes from Jack son township, Monroe county, to tha effect that tbe entire Hun toon family, with relations, making 29 voters, all heretofore moesback Democrats, hava resolved to vote for Judge Nash and the whole Republican ticket Havtnr been a resident of Jackson township. Monroe county, for about twenty yea 2 I believe I know every voter in tha township and positively say that I hava never even heard of sucn a family as the Huntooa family residing in Jackson township. Furthermore. I have made an examination of the quadrennial enumeration that waa made last spring, also the poll book made this fall showing all the voters of the township, and neither of them shows any name resembling Huntoon. I might say la addition to tbe above that Jackson township Democracy was never In better shabe. and instead of there being changes from the Democratic party to the Republican party it Is coming tha other way, and Jack son township, and ia fact Monroe county, can be relied on as doing their enurs auty.
