Our friend Gillespie, of the Alliance

presses intense disgust at the Stark Co.
DEMOCRAT, publishing the facts in regard
to Col. Milton Barnes's course as an ac-

The RevieSs sketch of the editor of this
paper is interesting reading, but highly
colored-too much SO for the facts in our
case. We give our RerielO friend full
credit for being an ardent, determined,
inflexible, answering, untiring, unterri-
fed, fighting enemy Of alcohol in every
possible shape. His blooming face and
blossoming nose indicate and confirm all
this. He don't even know whisky by

"IN HAYES WE TRUST, IN ALLEN
WE BUS7."-RepubRcdn Bonner last
Fall, .....l..

False promises and broken pledges
constitute the record of the party in pow
er. Their leaders and journals still as
sume airs Of virtue, and pretend to favor
honesty and economy in government
All this, too, with the record and devel-
opments of the past--yea, the very recent
past.
Do these men consider the American
people fools, that they can dupe, deceive
and deiraud continually
The motto at the head of this article
was borne last fall through our streets in
the Schurz procession. The cldqusnrs Of
Grantism now, as year ago, are saying,
select Hayes and all will be well but II
Tilden is elected wages will come down
and the shops will stop" The cry now
is-"In Hayes we trust, in Tilden we
bust"
Well, a year ago they got votes enough
to elect Hayes in Ohio, many in Canton
under these false pretences, which they
are not getting this year. The working
men of Canton well remember, that al
most Immediately after election last year
their wages we're cut down, and several
serious failures occurred, which threw
many men out of employment. The past
year has been q hard one, and the pros
pect now is not as encouraging as we
conld wish, in fact, worse than year ago
Uuder all the circumstances we are as
tonished that Republicans in Canton or
elsewhere can ask or expect working
man to vote their ticket. "In Hayes
they trusted and busted, and suffered
but in Hayes they'll trust no more. Til
den, Hendricks and Reform must have
trial. A change cannot be for the
worse.
The workingmen of Canton are not to
be deluded this year by false promises
That is evident by the result at the last
election, when our city gave over 25O
Democratic majority. The first ward
that gave Hayes last year majority of
over Allen, gave Bell on the 10Th 81 ma
iority, despite the efforts and expecta-
tions of Grants whisky officials, gaugers,
&c.
Workingmen, indeed all good citizens,
are interested in government policy
that regards justice and economy. The
political party that sustains corrupt
system of extravagance-that opposes a
return to economy and honesty in public
expenditures, should be, and 1CiH be, Uoted
out of po,Cer. The good citizens of Can
ton and Stark county will do their share
in accomplishing so desirable result.
Refer the Republican clsqueurs to their
motto of last year--"in Hayes we trust
in Allen we bust" Remind them of q
few facts very different from their prom
ises. Ask them to explain the course q
their party in Congress in opposing the
reduction of Government expenditures
the Democratic House finally compelling
them to reduction Of thirty millions =
Belknap would have been Secretary Of
War yet but for the investigation of the
House. Iniquity and fraud are not riot
ing as they were. Let the good work Of
Reform go on by electing Tilden and
Hendricks.

RA DIcAL RETRENCHMENT.

We hear great deal these days from
our radical friends how they have redu-
ced the expenses of the Government.
The Repository last week had the ef.
frontery to publish part of the speech
Of Senator Conkling, relating to this
matter, A decent respect for his readers
should have kept the editor from pub
lishingthe speech from such corrupt
source,
!, Senator Conkling was the boss of the
salary gfabbers in the Senate, and like
Butler in the House, labored hard to
double the salary grab, TO raise the sala-
ry steal 10 $4,000. The depth Of his in
fanny was far worse than this when the
Credit Mobilier was organized. Senator
Conkling was Senator, and had sworn
to do his duty to the people, yet he was
one Of the leading spirits in this colossal
ffaue, and no sooner was it organized
than he became one of its seven direc-
tors. A sworn Senator, and at the same
time director of the most stupendous
fraud ever perpetrated on free people
A trusted and sworn servant of the peo-
pie; he robs the people of more than
$50, 100000, and yet he has the cheek to
make speeches, and the Repository insults
an honest community by publishing
them.
Now we propose to have word to say
on Republican reduction of Government
expenditures, and for the RepoSitorys
benefit We will give the page and volume
from which we take our figures, viz: Fl
nance report of 1875, page lOS. 1t is pub

READ the admirable talk HoratIo Sey-
mour gave to his neighbors. 1t will be
found in this paper, andsthey are the
views of wise and honest man. He
shows how and why labor is oppressed
in this land of abundance and peace
that American commerce, under the bad
management of the party in power, is a
thing of the past; that We are at the
mercy of British shipping, and hence we
have lost markets our. country formerly
had. The gross injustice and inequality
in our system ofindirect taxation are also
spoken Of But we urge upon our read
ers careful consideration Of these words
of wisdom.

Ohio was afflicted with such a state Of
government as cursed any Southern
State during 1869 and 1870, she would

Mr.. Vance showed up some of the ras-

who we're interested sent money into
the eleventh district to defeat Mr.. Vance.

of 500. Mr.. Vance will spend the com

In plain English, public plumber to the
amount Of $lOl, 100000. We ask our
radical friends to name one excuse for
increasing the expenses a single dollar
above what they were in 1872. ..
To realize the extent of this plunder it
is only necessary to remember that the
whole expenses in 1851 were only $780,
100000. An increase (plunder) in 1874
of more than three times the whole ex-

What can the people expect from Gov
Hayes? Let the above record from 1872

modest sum of$2O3 ,OoO 900 for the expen.

congratulate themselves that the carpet

given the administration every cent Of
that vast sum.

so fond of calling Confederate" stem

the Administration that "this prohigacy
must cease-limes are hard, our debt is

Senate and the Republicans in the
House revolted, and threatened to stop

Congress, after many weary days of
wrapging finally yielded, and gave the
Administration 14s,0O0,0OO-the iden.

In 1872, however, there were paid for
bounties 100000 more than in any
subsequent year. So, in making compar-
isons with the years subsequent to 1872,
the expenses for 1872 should be stated at
$l4S,OOO,0OO. These figures furnish an
instructive lesson, and from them we
may infer what is to be expected from
the election of Hayes.
Before 1872 there was a reform element
within the Republican party, which
struggled successfully to reduce the ex-
penses of the Government. The expen-
ses were reduced from 1868 to 1872 $76-
OOO,O0O
In 1872 this reform element, headed
by Senator Sumner, abandoned the Re-
publican party. Grantism now had full
sway, untrammelled by any reform ele-
ment. So extravaganza, proAigacy and
corruption became the order of the day.
The expenditures increased fabulously.
The excess over 1872 was in:
