Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 29, 1898. Ohio has produced a new political party, which will figure in poiftics in other states, and in the next national campaign. This is called the “union reform party,” whose cardinal doctrine is the “initiative and ref- erendum,” of which a great deal has been written and spoken during the past few rs. This principle has at different times 2n incorporated in the platfurm of minor political parties, but has never by so vigorousiy pressed, at least not in this state, as it was during the last campaign. The union reform party, ‘nich has made itself the champion of this new reform measure, was organiz2d in this state last spring, and has its headquariers in Cin- cinnati. Being a new party, it was re- quired to secure a place on Australian ballot by petition, which it lid, presenting to the Secretary of State sevoral hundred more names than the law required. Being on the ticket, the law then required from tLem a vote of more than 1 per cent of the total vote to hoid their place on the ticket. They polled 10,911, or 2,080 more than nec- essary, so that they ar? now one of the regular political parties of the stare. it {s always an important caing for a political party to secure representation among the precinct election officers. The Obio law requires that the non-partisan judg+s and clerks of election shall come from the two leading parties. In Harrison township of Hamilton county, James A. Graft, the union reform candidate for s retary of state, polled more votes than either of the candidates, and in the next election the judges and clerks of election in that precinct will be equally propor- tiened between the union reform and re- publicans, the democrats dropping into third place and out of representation in the precinct board. Mr. Graft and his friends and party associates are enthus nd claim to have driven a wedge which is destined to mak» even a greater split in the old parties. Neil Abraham Neff of this city, the chairman of the union reform state committee, has just returned from Iiinoig and Indiana, and sepor's that the plans are completed for a union reform party in those states next year. The cru- sade has entered Michigan, ani the party is already organized there. Agencies are Iso at work in Pennsylvania ini West Virginia, and assurances come that the union reformers wil. hav» state tick: next year in those states. Phe aim aiso is to press the cause with vigor throuznout the country, with the expectation of getting a presidential ticket in the field in 1900. Vhe union reformers were somewhat fortunate in choosing the time for their organization, In 107 there were eight po Mtical parties in Ohio, and six of them fail- ed to poll the required 1 per cent vote. Of these the silver republican, negro protect- ive, liberal, populist and social labor en- tered into negotiations for a consolidation of interest. The last named could not_he reconciled, however, and drifted away. The others combined and organized the new party, drafted a declaration of principle nominated a ticket and fought the ca: paign with better success than any one on the outside expected, and probabiy better results than its own leaders hoped for. Although the last democrati ule con- vention indorsed Bryan and free silver, a cording to the Chicago platform of 1 there is great lack of harmony on the question of candidates for 1900 and some ersity of opinion as to the right one to ne democratic rallying ery. There ts a iderable gold sentiment among Ohto democrats, thousands of whom voted for McKinley in 1896, and who will never vote for a free silver man for president. The public urprised a day or two ago to hear that Lawrence T. Neal, who was a democratic candidate for governor four ears ago, had bolted Bryan and was op- d to making free silver an issue in 1900. > says the late elections have placed the ns in control of the country for ight years, but have shown that smen in the > next » democrats gained congr: east, where silver was not made an fssue, and lost the west, where silver was forced to the front. He thinks this is all the hint the party managers should need to per- suade them that {t will be foolish to repeat the party measures of 1806. He thinks that in twelve months from now the labor- ing clement can be so thoroughly infused with the anti-imperialism sentiment as to make it advisable to make that an issue in the next national campaign. He admits that just at this time there Is too much patriotism afloat to make it visable for any political party to suggest puiling down the s and stripes from any staff on ¥ have been hi But he is confident that judicious cru: in a quiet way will be effective to conv these enthusiasts, as he calls them, to the belief that it will be a bad thing for the labo rests of this country to widen our boundaries and take into citizenship millions of cheap laborers. He says that it is imperative for the party to find a new issue for 1900; that they can never clect Bryan, or any other man, for that matter, on a free silver platform, and that the antl- imperialism issue he considers as likely a winning card as any other, and at leas worth « trial. —_+—_ Proceedings Under a Will. Henrietta Gawler and Alfred Uf. Gawler this afternoon tnstituted suit in equity against Joseph Bowes and Marie Isabel Gawler. It is asked that a certain trust created by the will of the late Mary A. Gihon be administered under the direction of the court; that the defendant, Joseph Bowes, may be trustee, for the faithful performance of bh trust and may be required to settle his ac- counts under the direction of the court; that Bowes may be directed to pay the complainant, Henrietta Gawler, a monthly allowance, as provided by the terms of the will, and that a guardian be appuinted for the defendant, Mary Isabel Gawier. Judge Cox, in Equity Court No. 1, pointed Mary ap- W. Brandenburg guardian for Isabel Gawler. —__ Three Wills Filed for Probate.

Preston Williamson, against the Metropoli- an Railroad Company.

We just received yesterday five lots of Ladies’ Suits that were due for delivery to us November fifteenth. Ten days ago we can- celed the order.

But we have taken them—and now they must be quickly sold. What the maker con- ceded you save—and more, too, for we make a sacrifice‘as well. So low have we marked them that in this instance if any alterations are necessary (which isn’t likely) we must make a nominal charge of 50 cents a garment to cover the cost.

Yes. tendowsky's book on spies, about to be issued in France, bluntly states that mill- lary and political authorities the world over look upon espionage as a recognized profession. “Without espionage their work would be sadly lacking in direct purpose,’ says the author, and continues: “Spies, or, as they are politely designated, secret agents, are no.less a necessity in times of peace than in war. If it were not for spies one country would know very sittle about the mobilization of another, 1bout onward movements to the frontiers, about the spirit of foreign troops and the sntentions of the commanding general “The employment of spies is usually in- trusted to a high officer of long and honor- able standing.
