which DbAMz took from Mu111oAH that
did not appear in the batch sent from Wash

almost impossible for tho morning nows~
papers to print thom. The letter wo rofcr
to was writton in 1864, whom Mr.. BLAINE
was mombor Of Congrosa and also stooa-
holder in the SPENCER Isii,e Company. In
it ha claims the merit of suggesting logis-
lntive amendment in tho interest OF the
Company in which he waa stakeholder by
tho favor Of Mr. F1snRn, to whom tho letter
was wilton. Tint amendment provided
that when corporation had Government
tax to pay on manufactured goods, put on
after contract had boon made, and the
Government was tho purohasor OF tho goods,
then tho corporation could demaud TINT tho
Government assums tho tar or in other
words, release it. This waa exactly the con-

In all the political calculations Wisconsin
has been unhesitatingly put down for the

But this is very rash and recllleBa figuring.

but cannot DO carried for anybody who may
happen to got the nomination. In tho very
beat aspect, Wisconsin Is very doubtful

their triumph in Ohio in October and other

by the small majority Of 811 votes. The

urer by 1904, and their Attorney General by

FIRES AT THE MINES.
GREAT DAMAGE DONE AT THE
WILLOW BANK.

About three miles north of Massillon
are the mines Of the Willow Bank Com
pany, the members being Rhodes & Co.,
and Capt Foltz. These mines have a
shaft and slope. About a mile distant
from these is the Mountain Bank or Ja-
cobs Shaft. This bank is owned by
Rhodes & Co., John Jacobs and John G
Warwick.
Last Monday night some twenty men,
well armed, went to these mines, surrOun-
ded and seized the four guards, disarmed
them and placed them under a coal car
when they set fire to the engine houses
and works at each of the mines. The
destruction was complete, and the ma
chinery was damaged beyond repair
probably. The total loss, it is thought,
will exceed $4,000, The insurance
amounts to about $4,000.
On Tuesday morning the steamer was
put on flat car and run up to the mines,
but being unable to do anything was
brought back. These troubles are Ger
tainly becoming serious, and no good cit
izen can justify such work.
The arrival Of the troops from Mans
field on Monday, and other demonstra-
tions on the part of the proprietors of
the Warrington mine stirred up the
bad elements, and it was plainly discern
able on Monday on the streets that mis-
chief was brewing. We fail to discover
any good resulting from anything that
has been done on either side. At this
writing, Tuesday night, while all seems
quiet, there is deep feeling pervading
the city, and danger is anticipated in
various quarters,

Ex-GovERNoR HoRATIo SEYMOUR, one
of the wisest and most honest men of
the age, addressed the New York Demo-
cratic State Convention held at Utica last
week. On his appearing on the platform
the entire audience rose and cheered him
repeatedly. He concluded as follows;
1--WE intend 80 far as we can to lay bare
all that has been done wrong in your
ranks, and all that has been done wrong
in our ranks we expect you to unite with
u.s." | believe that the Republican party
in its make up in the great body of its
organization is as honest as our own, but
it's members have held principles which
have proven more strongly than the wis
dom of our fathers could have proved it,
that that Government has outstepped its
limits That Government which from
great central point, undertakes to inter-
fere with local affairs, that Government
which opens the door of the Treasury to
10000 schemes of fraud cannot survive
In conclusion, say once more to the
Democratic party and to our Republican
friends, we ropose to enter into this con-
test, not for the purpose of showing which
party is the most ignoble, not merely for
the purpose of bringing disCredit upon
them, not with the view of gaining vic
tory because they have gone wrong-I
scorn such victory on the part of the
Democratic party, but we intend to win
this victory, because we mean to show
that we are more fit to hold power, we
have the better claim, not because you
are so bad, but because we have the posi-
tive virtues to enable us to carry on this
Government, and until we do show that,
| for one pray to God that we may never
come into power. 1t is because believe
that now we have this revival of public
morality, and this refreshing of the purer
sentiments OF the people, and an enlarged
intelligence with regard to the evils of
bad government, that stand before you
this moment, buoyed up with the con-
viction that for many years to come we
are to have better government, better
people, better condition of things, and
more active and earnest patriotism, and
that it is to be brought about because We
have returned to the principles and the
wisdom of our fathers, and to the great
principles which the Den ocratic party
has.ever upheld. 1t is in this view I do
congratulate you most earnestly upon the
success which | believe will attend our
efforts. (Great applause.)

CAN it be that the editor of the Stark
County Democrat has sold himself to the
bankers2 We can explain his position
in no other way.-SeubenUilIe Gazette.
We hasten to. relieve our troubled
friend of Steubenville, and beg leave to
assure him that the editor of the
Democrat has sold himself neither to
knaves nor fools-hence is not penny
whistler for the Enquirer nor any such
mischievous sheet.
Let us also say to our Young friend that
the devoted Democratic editor needs no
other guiding lights tnan Truth, Justice
and the Constitution-with, of course, a
modiCum of good sense. Truth is the
eldest born of the Supreme, and Justice,
the twin sister, seeks to bring all to the
shrine on terms Of Equality. The wise
men who framed the Constitution did SO
under the inspiring influence of these
heavenly principles. With such guides,
and assisted by reason, the old Democ-
racy triumphed-triumphedi in the name
of peace and good will. In our triumphs
were no force and fraud-no doing evil
that good might come. There are three
classes of people who refuse to submit to
such guides in the light of reason knaves
who will not, bigots who dare not, and
fools who cannot. Between knavery,
bigotry and folly, this fair land has been
torn and rent, and it may be we must yet
endure and suffer. Now, however, we
are not without hope,-HoPE, the inspir-
ing sentiment of thought and effort

THE MINING TROUBLES.
A MINERS MEETING.
An Offer to Compromise.
Troops on Duty at the Warrington
Mines.

The troubles at the mines near Massil-
lon have been eliminating rapidly dur
ing the past few days, and it may be the
end is not yet.
On Thursday of last week a meeting of
miners was held near the grocery of
Boss Smith, north of Massillon, attend
ed by about one hundred men, most of
the mines in that section of the valley
being represented. After some talk as
to who called the meeting it seemed the
parent could not be found; but finally
Mr.. Laviers was made chairman, and Or
der prevailed.
Mr.. Andrew Roy, State Inspector of
Mines, said he understood meeting was
called for that time and place that had
he not heard of it he should have called
one himself. He deprecated all strikes,
appealed to the men to settle all their
grievances without resorting to violence,
and advised them to frown down any of
their fellow laborers who counseled vio-
lent and unlawful measures to settle their
difficulties.
Adjt. Gen. Wykof stated that he was
not present in the interest of the opera
tors or miners, but to protect the men
who desired to work, and if any chose
not to work, they. should be protected in
their privilege to remain idle. He as
sured them that the Governor was deter
mined to execute the law, and see that
the operators or anybody else who owned
property, should have their interests
guarded.
Several of the miners spoke, stating
their reasons for being dissatisfied, and
denying completely in the Warrington
riot, after which this meeting adjourned
The miners then organized and adopted
a proposition to go to work at zoe ton
On Monday the Mansfield Guards, be.
longing to the State Militia, under com.
mand ofCapt. Farber, numbering 40 men
with 49 guns, went to the Warrington
mine. On the same train with the troops
were 80 men from Cleveland, who were
reinforced Tuesday with 40 additional
all of whom went down to 90 to work.
Additional troops, as company from
Mt. Vernon, arrived on Wednesday.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

A fellow named Buzzard has starteda
Republican paper up in Mercer county.
A man with any other name than that
would be starved out in a county like
Mercer.
THE Cincinnati Enquirer is earnestly
in favor of adopting a platform upon
which we were beaten in 1875, and ignor.
ing platform upon which we were sue
cessful in 1881
THERE is no money eitherin the Treas
ury of Columbus or Cincinnati to pay the
police, and the Commissioners of both
cities threaten to dsband the forces if
the money is not Immediately raised to
pay the men.
JUDGE CARTIER turned Kilbourne
over to the United States Marshal for
safe keeping and he is released from
Jail, goes where he pleases, is lionized
by his friends. This pleases Boss Shep-
herd and the ring.
IT is on the bills that BeIknap is to be
neither indicted or impeached, The
Radical organs are now pouring all the
vials of their wrath upon the Democratic
Investigation Committees.
BELKNAP has not been indicted by
the Washington Grand Jury, and is not
likely to be. All he has to do is to worm
out of the impeachment case and he will
be all right for another office.
SIXTEEN ofthe State Senators whohold
over in California are Democrats, and
only four Republicans. To control the
next Senate the republicans will have to
elect eighteen ofthe Senators to be chosen
in 1877.
CHICAGO TIMES, They are after Nor
ton now 1t has been discovered that
he obtained 100000 from the Federal
Treasury illegally in 1862 wherewith to
play handsomely the character of the
great War Governor" of Indiana and
the Treasury Department officials have
actually refused to permit member of
Congress to inspect the papers concerning
this peculiar transaction without Morton's
consent. There seems to have been
prUdigious amount of justification and
lying about the matter-so much of it,
IN fact, as to justify an exceeding strong
suspicion that Morton will be implicated
in most disastrous fashion, ifthe papers
are obtained.
