The biggest swindle of the day or of
any age is the niger swindle. 1t is a
Yankee swindle, too-far ahead of the
wooden nutmeg cheat. The pretence, toe, is,
it is done in the name of liberty and Justice
The XVIII amendment fraud is now prop
ped by Summers niger bill to force the
darkey into white society. hotels, schools

eut-throats at Washington are not throii

Boston orator said at their celebration at
MassillOn. lately, the XVth amendment
and all the legislation to equalize the ra-
ees means nothing, unless it means social
equality. And swapping his fingers, "it
amounts to nothing, unless it includes
complete social equality"

The great novelist, Charles Dickens,
died ON theeve. of the 10th at his residence
near London. He WAS seized with q fit at
dinner on the sth and remained insensi-

age wSs5s. We need not say he was a
genius, gifted with heart as well as brain
He Is the father of immortal works, in
which characters are drawn that will de-

form an era in English literature. He was
generous, loving and universally beloved.

SPANISH MASSACRE OF AMERICAN
FIL.IIRgRTERR

An expedition which left NY. city few
days ago on the steamer Geo. B, Upton, to
aid the Cuban insurgents, has been cap
tured. The Upton landed the men, arms
and ammunition at Punta Bravo, = few
miles east of Nuevitas, and steamed away
IN South America, under the command of
Cisneros, to procure a reinforcement of
Colombians The Americans who had
been left on the shore were attacked by a
much larger force of Spaniards. and were
nearly all killed or captured. Those taken
prisoners were afterwards butchered.-
Among the killed in the attack was Cap

CONGRESS-.

As the time approaches for the nomina
tlon of a candidate for Congress, we look
around for suitable man. There has
been no time fixed for holding the conven-
tion, but it should be done Immediately.
Let US hear from Jefferson, Stark and
Carroll. The only name we have heard
in connection with that nomination is
that of Charles N Allen, Esq, of the
Steubenville Gazette. Mr.. Allen is a life
long Democrat, of acknowledged ability, a
willing and hard worker in the cause of
Democracy, and would be acceptable to
the party generally. We have not heard
from MIR. Allen and do not know whether
ne I, would accept the nomination or not
We should have fixed time and then we
can decide on a candidate. Gentlemen
let us hear from you-Ohio Patriot.
We most cordially endorse the above
Mr.. Allen is every way worthy, and wo'd
make capital run, as good as any man
in the district.

IN West Virginia it is stated 5000
white men are disfranchised and the re-
moval of the disability is the leading
question in the canvass. This makes the
election there of great interest In 1864
the Radical vote was $4,000 to the Demo
cratic 10000, and in 1868 but 20 900 Rad
ical to 10000 Democratic-showing a
Democratic increase of 100 per cent. to
Radical gain of but-39 The young vote
Of the State, it would thus appear, is al

past will, no doubt, materially decrease

RADICAL LREPUBLICANIsMI HAS RUN
ITS CAREER

So says the Middletown (Connecticut)
Sentinel, in commenting on the over
whelming Democratic victory in New
York. Counties considered as staunchly
Republican as the Reserve counties of
Ohio, gave Democratic maorities. Says
the SeatigleL
Radical Republicanism has run its ca
reer, and the Republican party will have
to be reorganized under new leaders, or
else be broken up and new combinations
entered into. Look at the divisions Of
the Republican majority in Congress at the
jealousy of rival factions, and the half
concealed bitterness between certain so
called Senate and House leaders. Then.
again, mark the waning influence of Pres
ident Grant and the odium in which some
OF hls Cabinet officers are held even by
Republicans.

TIE massacre of Jews in Roumania
turns out to be great exaggeration-in-
deed without foundation in fact. 1t seems
a political riot occurred at small village
in Moldayia but the Jews were not con-
cerned in it and it was easily quelled with
out troops.--Ths- news Of the massacre
week before last threw both Honses Of
Congress into great Indignation and the
matter was referred to committees. The
later reports say there has been banish-

The new Naturalization bill was offered
in the House on the 9th. 1t proposed to
abolish naturalization in the State courts,
and to transfer it to the United States
courts, to require residence of three years
before an application could be made for
citizenship, and among other odious fea-
lures requiring a six months probation OF
the applicant after makinghis application.
Mr. Eldridge of Wisconsin, representing
the Democratic minority of the Judiciary
Committe, made an exceedingly able and
exhaustive speech against the bill, thor
oughly exposing every portion of its par
tisan intentions, and fittingly characteriz-
ing it as one of the Radical waves of the
revolution which had been beating against
the Constitution, the union of the States,
and the rights and privileges of thepeople.
He was none the less ably followed by
Messrs. Kerr. Schumacher, Cox, Axtell and
other Democrats, while some of the Re-
publican members, frightened at this bold
step, came forward in its denunciation.-
The result, after four hours debate, was
that the bill was tabled by l02 to 40. The
New England and Pennsylvania Radical
vote made up the number favoring the
bali Mr.. Davis has entered motion to
reconsider, but the bill is beyond the hand
of resurrection.

fHE New York Sun. Republican. says
n late issue in its Washington report:
N The most jndieious and faithful Re-
'pabiicans are deeply dissatisfied with the
state of affairs here, and with the apathy
and Reorganization of the party through
out the country. They complain that
there no unity in the counsels of con-
gtesss5 and no accepted leader in either the
senate or house Of representatives. On
All material questions of public policy.
Ike the tariff. taxation, currency, funding
and retTenchment of public expenditures,
there aTe'found to be positive and even
radical antRgonisms. And when INQUIRY
is made as to the fundamental cause Of
these alarming differences, it is traced di-
reCtly to the President and cabinet"

While the late platform resolves the
Democracy against the late act to enforce
the XVIII amendment, it has not one
word to say in regard to the amendment
itself. Thus they confess that all the clam
or with which they have filled the land
against the amendment, and in favor Of
State taxation and Pendleton reputation,
has been wrong, that they have only been
trying to entrap the people into the en-
dorsement of fallacies which they now
publicly condemn.
In what strong contrast with this or
ganized trickery, is the noble and straight
forward course taken by the Republican
party, the party that takes its firm stand
on the solid ground of civil equality and
of an honest settlement of the national
debt. The party that saved the nation
will continue to make itrespected at home
aud abroad, notwithstanding the machina-
tions Of an enemy who is mainly conspic-
uous for his bsrrenness of every principle
of truth and honOr-Rep and Rep.
Perhaps it did not occur to our neigh
Dor who says he twas the friend of the
soldier" though he remained at home en-
joying the Canton Post Office, that, with
out an act to enforce the XVIII amend
ment, the Niger equality amendment falls
to the ground-especially in Ohio as our
State constitution allows only white male
citizens" to vote.
'Fhe party that saved the nation -
Our neighbor must mean the party that
niggerized "the nation" and is not yet
through with the niggerizing business
" The party" too that tramples upon law
and consttution-that by tariff acts, ma
tional bank acts, bondholding acts, land
grabbing and other robbing schemes is
impoverishing the country and robbing

Loyalty AND DIsLOYALTY,

These words belong to the vocabulary
of despotiUn. and they are favorite terms
with the radical organs and stumpers.-
Clerical gentlemen, too, wearing white
chokers, fippantly faunt these prostitu-
ted words at ecclesiastical conventions,
and also make use of them from their ros-
trums to intimidate the weak and coerce
the more resolute who would like to
change our wicked and corrupt rulers for
honest men with honest principles. 1t is
five years since tn. war closed and we
had hoped that long ere this we would
have all returned to our accustomed and
appropriate expressions Of speech. But
these knayes who have so long reveled in
corruption and usurpation, and who aim
to perpetuate, by the strong arm of force
their i'll gotten and prostituted power, hope
to remain in power by the same infamous
practices.
Juvenal tells US that the Emperor Dom
titan could gather that poison weed dis

arena. "CIiaina ma9eStates ne arena COL

act of disloyalty Did the tyranny of our
civil war scruple to find the signs of dis
loyalty in a less unscrupulous manner p
Ex-senator Wall, of New Jersey, in
speech in the United States Senate in 1868
thus defined the affected loyalty of those
days:

If, said that keen observer of human na-
ture, the devil ever takes a walk through
our churchyards, how he must chuckle

tombstones. How he must hold his sides
