Stark County,
On Saturday Afternoon,
! SEPTRAIBRR 27TH.


The President OF the Republican Con-'
vention In Massachusetts last week insists
that "scandalous Irregularities and i'm
morahties have sprung up in the public
service, at first denied, next connived at,
and afterwards condoned under the pres
sure of impInding elections. And these
things" he says, "have gone as far as the
good name of any party or the public
sense can bear. The fears of the early
founders were spent in the wrong direc-
ton; the peril to the purity of the Gev-
eminent lies not in high ambitions but in
low dishonesties" How does this fit in
with Gov. Morton's assertion, that he had
studied our political history closely and
that he is satisfied that the standard of
public morals was never so high nor the
administration of the Government so pure
as at the present moment. Morton insists
upon it that all is purity and honesty,
while Gov. Bullock of Massachusetts, de-
clares that rascality "has gone as far as
the good name of the party or the public
sense can bear" We think it has gone
good deal farther.
