THE REPOSITORY AGAIN.

do not, they bring Other results, lor nieii
are generally judged by the company
they keep. We speak from experience
so far as Louis Schaefer is concerned
We gladly surrender to Messrs. Bascom
& saxton all our right, title and interest
in that regard. And we can say with
Robert Burns in his song about old Nick
The dell cam adding through the toun,
An danced ava wi tn exciseman,
And ilka wife cries, suld Mahoum,
/ wish ye luck O. the prize man"
Yes, we wish our neighbors "luck o
the prize" 1t was just after schaefers
attempt to defeat Governor Allen, Sheriff
Baxter Treasurer Fessler whose print
ing Schueier now wants TO take to the
Rep. office and the Democratic ticket,
that the Repository folks made the arrange
ment with him as co-cditor. Our old
neighbors will, in time, discover, ii, In
deed, they have not already, thatthis man
Schaefer is an unmitigated nuisance OF
the worst kind. The only way is, to do
as we used to, keep him at safe dis
tance. We found during the war the
best way was to offer to insert his SLAM
derous articles with his name attached
The fellow would not consent to that
Oh, no That would have been facingthe
music. He always preferred running up
the alley and leave dangerto others. And
yet he wants to be thought a regular Go
Ian of Gath. He is something of a Goliah
of gas and falsehood. The only engage
ments we know of him rushing into
valiantly were with little school boys,
using cudgel, rawhide or leveling a
pistol at them and threatening to shoot
Now, we have nopersonal quarrel with
Mr.. Schaefer. His opposition and mean
assaults upon Governor Allen and the
Democratic ticket necessarily arrayed us
politically against him, and hence his
malevolence and hence his becoming
connected as he is with the Repository
establishment. The fact is his political
course is only one continuous career OF
trickery, treachery and personal malice
He has too, betrayed every trust for per-
sonal aggrandizement.
The Repository dubs Mr.. schaefer a
4 -
Democrat. This is probably to help him
as hummer for that concern and secure
Democratic campaign printing. But Louis
Schaefer never was really Democrat
Tie was a virulent whig till that party
died out His broken English prevent
ed him joining the Know NothingS and
/ his interest in some niggers in Georgia
prevented him joining the Republican
party. His great love for these niggers
also made him sympathize with theSouth
! during thewar. Since the war, however,
he has generally gone back on Democracy
and now is domiciled, politically, at the
Repository office, where he gets all his
printing done, and buns, as we say, for
that concern. He never spoke kind
word of anybody, nor did an unselfish
act.
The City Council of Canton and the
citizens of our town almost unanimously
have but one opinion Of Louis Schaefers
management of and manipulation in the
building of our water works. Ofall the
money borrowed not dollar was allowed
to go into the city treasury where the
law requires it. With his usual selfish
ness and arbitrary rule Ewould and did
take care of it. After his retirement from
the City Council committee was APP
pointed to investigate his books and
vouchers, and they reported some
| EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
UNA CCOUNTED F0Rl Let the RepOsi-
tory or its hummer deny it. 1t is time
the matter was adjusted-high time
The general impression is it was Boss
Schaefer operation similar to tie gas fix
ings for the Court House, only more 80
This man Schaefer was doing land office
business in those days, building the Water
Works, the Court House, and his oUn Opera
House
So far as A. McGregor is concerned his
accounts are long since settled and squar'
ed up. Let Mr.. Schaefer do the same
In his case he was not absent by illness
and trusting to clerks. Let him do as A
McGregor did, face the music and not
dodge, sneak of, or run up an alley. We
hope this Boss" will continue on the
editorial tripod, and not get alarmed anC
switch off.
This Repository champion boasts of hi
bravery during the war, in daring t.
publish and edit German paper. HI
had not the manliness to face the musi
even in that, for it was done all in th'
name of old Hafenbradle And wheI
aught was inserted Of "disloyal" char
acter, schaefer would call upon the Re
publican leaders and declare it was tha
"tamt old Hafenbradle |" And to other
he would laugh and say-"didn't gif Zen
hale? Pye KotP
Thou wear lions hide
Doffit for shame, and hang calfskin
