TRIUMPHANT BOODLE.
Mark Hanna has again proved
himself a good "business man."
After a hard and personally con
ducted fight he has secured the "de
livery of the goods" he had bought.
He was yesterday elected Senator
from Ohio for seven years.
This result is the most shameless
and scandalous triumph of corrup
tion ever known in our political his
luiy. Seven Republicans members
of the Legislature united in charg
ing bribery upon Hanna and his
agents and in demanding an investi
gation of the charges. Five of these
pledged themselves to vote for Han
na, in spite of their determined op
position to his election, if the charg
es of bribery were shown to be un
true. Yet by a single vote in joint
session the demand was ignored and
the great boodler was elected.
It was a fitting climax to this bra
zen perfoimance that the Republi
can members, who had to be kept
under guard to insure their "stay
ing bought," joined in singing
"Praise God, from whom all bless
ings flow," when infamy was con
summated! Smug hypocrisy and
Pharisaic plutocracy are represented
in the Ohio Republicanism of which
McKinley and Hanna are perfect
. types, touched the lowest depths in
, thus celebrating with blasphemy the
triumph of boodle. Kew York
World.
The politcal pot in Lincoln coun
ty is now fairly simmering and soon
will be fairly boiling, with the con
ventions two months away. There
are candidates a plenty talked of.
but many a slate will be made and
smashed before conventions meet.
Among the populists there has
been but few candidates talked of.
These pdiiies have beeu uiscussiug
and meditating upon the union of
forces, and individual candidates
have been a secondary matter. The
name of Iee Wade has been men
tioned as a democratic candidate

The populists have talked G. A"
Landis and T. T. Reeder, for sher
iff, H. N. Foster, of Chit wood, for
county treasurer. There are not
many populist candidates being
talked publicly yet.
In the republican ranks there
are many prospective candidates
being taled of. For joint senator
Hon. R. A. Bensell is generally
recognized as a candidate, and it
now looks as if he has a very good
chance of securing .the nomination.
Capt. Henry Nice is frequently
spoken of as a suitable candidate
for joint representative. For clerk

CONKLIN At his home near this
place, on Wednesday, Januarv
19, 1898, Joseph S. Conklin, aged
73 years, 11 months and 15 days.
Joseph Smith Conklin was born
at Damascus, Wayne county, Penn
sylvania, February 4, 1824. He
was married to Caroline C. Turner
in 1846. Six children were born to
them, one son and five daughters,
of which three daughters still sur
vive him. He joined the great
throng of gold seekers and went to
California in 1852, buc returned to
Pennsylvania two years later. He
moved to Missouri in 1857, where
his wife died in the fall of 1858.
He was married to Catherine Gold
en November 22, i860.
He enlisted as first sargeant of
Company A, First Mo. Engineers
on July 6, 1861, and was wounded
while placing a cannon in position
in June, 1862. He was mustered
out of the service in November,
1864. For the wounds received in
the service he was granted a pen
sion of $4 per month in 1887, which
was increased to $24 per month in
1 89 1, which rate continued until
his death.
He moved from Missouri to Kan
sas in 1874 where he followed farm
ing until February 1889, when he
moved to Eugene, Oregon, and in
May of the same year he moved to
Toledo, where he has since resided.
The funeral services which were
held on Thursday, were conducted
bv Abe Lincoln Post, G. A. R., of
this place, of which Post te de
ceased was a member. The cere
monies were simple and impressive. ,
A short address was made over the
remains by Comrade Wadsworth
which was both touching and im
pressive. The remains were in
terred in the Toledo cemetery.
Gone, and the world to go on as before,
Gone with a smile from the dear homestead
door,
Dear faithful heart to come back never, nor he
sad any more.
Gone, and the seasous will still come and go,
Wreathing his grave with blossoms and snow,
Snow on tha bosom that sheltered love so;
Cold and pitiless snow.
Home la not home for the dear one's not there,
Dark is his room and vacant his chair,
Now will he rest from his labors and care,
Till the resurrection morn so fair.
Bleep, dear one sleep, with your hands on your
breast.
Poor, weary hands, they needed their rest; '
Dearly we loved thee, but God loved thee best,
He has called thee home to thy rest.
