Enthusiastic Tilden and Hendricks
Meeting in Stark County.
SbeciaI DisbatcA to the enquirer.

Spscial Dispatch to the Enquirer.
Canton, o., July Owe had an ent-
husiastic ratification of Tilden and Hend-
ricks and reform, last night. The meet
ing was held on the Square. Speaking
was from the band stand which was
brilliantly illuminated with Chinese Ian
terms. Transparencles were also hung
from the shade trees in the vicinity. After
the enlivening airs from the Grand Army
Band, Roberts Shields was called upon
to preside. Mr.. Shields represented this
District in the St. Louis Convention as a
Delegate. He gave very acceptable
account ofth incidents, &c. of the great
Convention, which was attentively listen
ed to and we'll received. He heartily
indorses the will ofthe majority and could
enthusiastically support the nominees
Congratulatory speeches were in return
made by S. Meyer, a lawyer of marked
ability and long standing at the bar, now
candidate for Common Pleas Judge :
Johnson Sherrick Member of the Legis-
iature, VIM. A. Lynch, c. T. Meyer, John
T. Hayes, an eloquent young Irish orator,
and A. McGregor, the veteran editor of
the Stark County Democrat, and who for
the eighth time has buckled on the armor
for the Presidential fight. The gentle
men are all unqualifedly for reform and
its distinguished representatives, Tilden
and Hendricks Reform is the watch
word and the paramount issue. Let us
first clean the Augean stables of their
corruption, and then the currency and
other questions will regulate themselves.
The speaking continued till near eleven
o'clock, the people still eager to hear.
Amid salvos of artillery which awakened
the city, for the opening ofthe Centennial
campaign, the people dispersed. The
small ratification and smaller enthusiasm
of the Republicans, on the night of the
Ist, compares miserably with the demon
stration last night, Rest assured that
Stark County, like her heroic namesake
of the Revolution, at Bennington, will do
her whole duty when the battle comes in
1876.

Gov. TildGu Officially Notified Of his
Nomination.
He ACCEPTS THE TRUST.
Characteristic Reply of the Re-
former.
His Formal Letter Of Acceptance Soon to
be Given to the Public.

New York, July 1.-THE committee
appointed by the St. Louis Convention
to notify Gov. Tilden of his nomination
for the Presidency by the Democratic
party, waited on the Governor to night
at his residence. Delegates from nearly
every State in the Union were present
The Governor gave the committee cor
dial greeting.
General McClernand addressed the
Governor and outlined the work Of the
St. Louis Convention. 1t was august in
charactet, patriotic in sentiment, and met
at time when the civil authority was ex-
posed to fresh encroachments from the
military; when hard money was dishon-
ored and virtually banished from circu-
lation by vicious legislation; when pecu-
lation and corruption were Sapping the
foundations of the government, the Con-
vention determined to save the country,
and chose for its standard bearers tried,
true and trusted men.
General McClernand then read the adj
dress of the committee conveying official
information of the nomination to Gov.
Tilden. 1t stated that he was nominated
because his name is prominently identi-
fled with reform, reduction of taxation,
maintenance of the rights ofthe laboring
masses and his record is one of un-
tarnished purity in the eyes ofhis coun-
trymen.
Hon. w. B. Hanna, of Indiana, also
delivered lengthy address to the Gov
ernor on behalf of the Democratic party
of Indiana, and pledging him their united
and entire support.
REPLY OF THE GOVERNOR.
Governor Tilden replied accepting the
nomination and said he would soon trans
nit them formal letter Of acceptance.
He said he believed his nomination was
not mere personal preference. 1t was
rather declaration in favor of admins
trative reform with which events had as
sociated him IN the public mind. The
demand for reform in all governments,
and chiefly in the Federal Government
have led to a series of surprises in popu-
lar assemblages and perhaps in the con-
vention itself. What we have witnessed
may be an augury of what we may wit
ness in the election about to take place.
The labor of reforming system Of gov
ernment is great. and if elected should
enter upon the great duties not as on a
holiday recreation, but much in that
spirit of conservation in which soldier
enters battle. We now see the dawn of
better day for our country. The Re-
public is yet to be renovated to live in all
the future.
Governor Tilden wound up by cordial
ly thanking the members of committee,
after which collation. wasenjoyed.

We may say without danger of contra
diction, that the thirty.tive papers above
enumerated represent at least four-tifths
Of the daily circulation ofall German pa
pers in the United States. The New
York Staats Zeitung alone has twice the
circulation of all German Hayes papers
taken together. About twenty German
dailies, most of them insignificant, are
for Hayes.
Ifthe circulation ofthe Tilden andHayes
papers is any criterion, the overwhelm-
ing majority of German votes will 60 for
TiIden, and we believe that it is correct
indicator, if we take the political senti-
ment of the Germans as whole, much
as it may huctuate in certain localities.
We do not know at this time of three
German papers in Illinois that support
Hayes; and the Chicago Staats-Zeitung
states that it is far FROM certain that Hi
nois will give majority for the Repub.
lican ticket Indeed, when it is stated
that from present appearances, eight out
of every ten German sheets printed in
the United States support Tilden, the
chances of his carrying Ohio, Indiana, H.
linois and Wisconsin, four States hither-
to conceded to Republicans, become de-
cidedly encouraging. 1t was the German
vote that carried Ohio for Hayes over
Allen last year; it may be the same vote
will carry the State for Tilden over Hayes
this year.
In short, the view of the field five
days after the start shows an emphatic
advantage in favor of Tilden.

The Builder OF the suez Canal.

/
Baron Ferdinand de Lesseps is gone TO
Egypt again. Though 20 years old he is still
young, and still cOntemplates great designs.
With black eyebrows and moustache, but
white beard, he Is q most noticeable man,
and those who do not know him take him to
be sergeant in the Gardes. At 20 he has
al a1s and another on Its
Spartan-or shall say Egyptian-way.
They go about barefOOted, and although
Madame only half likes this, he is able TO
boast that their young ones, of whom they
nave small regiment, are never i'll. He
tells story of the opening Of the canal,
which ls well worth repeating: Just before
the great ceremony, when the Empress
Eugene was to pass through on board the
Aigle, de Lesseps was informed that great
rock had fallen into the canal, and that a
lagos on the banks of the canal, and that in
this village q quantity of gunpowder was
stored SUFFICIENT to blow up the whole neigh
borhOod. He was implored to postpone the
formal opening, but he refused, saying:
"Iou have tie powder TO blow up the
rock and water TO put out the fire" He
meet the Aigle, and that nothing should
be said about either OF the mishaps, but a
man should be stationed a I the bow with his
arms extended II the canal was navigatle,
and with them pendant If a passage was
impossible. AS the gunboat appeared de
Lesseps took telescope and was ready to
drop with disgust when he saw the man
with his arms down. He took a second look
ana saw then that they were now extended.
On this he threw himself down, and was fast
asleep In moment and his slumber was
SO profound that he did not awake until he
was aroused by the huZzas of the people
greeting the arrival the Aigle. The Emperor
rallied him upon his deep sleep, and he re-
piled that he net slept so soundly for twenty
years. De Lesseps' house is full OF splendid
gifts from great persons. There Is a gold Gun
gwen by the Empress worth $4,000 All the
Sovereigns present or represented At the
opening of The canal sent him ribbons and
he is we'll nigh the most decorated man in
Europe. He now desires to make railway
through the Euphrates Valley. He is not
anxious to be rapidly and enormously rich.
He says: ~ do not care for riches and have
no wants; all wish Is that my children may

An Invasion OF Wholes.

Shetland appears TO be threatened with an
invasion OF Infatuated whales. 1t seems that
few days ago shoal OF wales OF large size,
and Of the species known as dinners came
into DOwry Voc, some distance north OF Ler-
wick. The whales were seen to sport about
and tumble as II In play; but this was evil
IDENTIFY ruse on their part, for when six boats
manned by fishermen put OF ito give chase"
the whales, instead of retreating, gave chase
TO the nshermen. They became, Il is stated,
exceedingly furious, and began to chase every
boat on tho water, as though intending to
drive them lahore. One small boat was up
set, the occupants narrowly escaping with
their lives. The fishermen were, in short,
ignominiously put to flight, and have since
prudently abstained from meddling further
with the ''finners" BY the last account b the
whales were still in the Voc, and seem deter
mined to stay there until driven out by force
The "finner' Is known to be one of the most
vicious species Of whales. They seldom 60
In shoals, and the fact of their appearing In a
body near Shetland betokens combination
among them for no amicable purpose. Whales
and seals, however, have q lOng-standing
grudge to wipe OF against flshermen, and it
Is not surprising TO find, after the treatment
they have been exposed to, that they have at
last lost their temper.
