The new Stark county Jail, recently
erected at a cost of $50, 900, is said to be a
pleasant place for prisoners who want to
get out.-Erchange.
Why, it is said, it did not take the
prisoners twenty minutes to pry up and
bend the CRATE rods so as to slip them out.
The pry was handy for they just slipped
off an iron door from its hinges and they
had as good lever as they wanted. And
then, the rods were not riveted at ALL
Yet the Rep0SitOrysays Sheriff Rau1h was
wholly to blame. John Rauch did not
build the Jail and the law does not re-
qu!re Sheriff to guard prisoners night
and day. The law contemplates Jail
shall be Jail, not fraud. The test has
been had and the result shows what our
sixty thousand dollars under Republican
management amounted to. We wish
every taxpaying citizen in Stark county
could look in and see for themselves and
then say who are responsible. The Re-
publican officials built our shoddy and
convenient Jail.

SENATOR boutwell, makes strange
explanation as to the alleged letter he
wrote to Henry Clews to forward money
to Pennsylvania to carry the election in
1872, and he would be posted as to gold
sales so that he would get it back, He
does not in words deny the facts stated,
but he says that if there is such letter
in existence it would be published with
out moments delay. He says he does
not believe he ever wrote Mr.. Clews a
letter without keeping copy ofit, and
he is sure that the books of the Depart
ment will show every letter he ever
wrote. He has made it a rule of his life
not to deny absurd stories about himself,
but to trust to time and the good judg-
ment of the people for his defense. In
the meantime, in the language of one
who has occupied one of the highest po-
sitions in the Grant Administration is
quite applicable. He said: "There was
an immense amount of money used in
the second election of Grant; 1 know
this, but it has not been ny business to
inquire where it came from. If the Ju-
dietary Committee go far enough into the
whisky frauds in st. Louis, they may
find something bearing on that subject"
This is an important admission, and
shows that the Radical organization was
privy to the st. Louis Whisky Ring
frauds. Call Gen. Horace Porter.-Er.

THE true policy for the Democratic
greenbacker is to stand by the old party,
and ifyou cannot get all you want in the
platform, do the best you can. Ifyou are
a good citizen and believe in d Republi-
can form ofgovernment you will yield to
the will Of the majority. This principle
holds good in political parties as well as
in the general organization of our govern
ment. No good Democrat or partisan of
any kind, or in fact candid, considerate
man will bolt his party because he can
not run it to suit his own notions on any
pa ticular question, but he will use his in
Auence to bring about his views in the
party, and if he cannot accomplish his
end he will strnd by the platform as
enunCiated in convention, and support
the candidates nominated thereon

Our editorial brother of the New Phil
adelphia Democrat seems to be getting in
dead earnest. We are something of be-
lever in the positive philosophy, if it is
not too much spiritualized. We fear in
this case there is an over supply of the
latter element, and rather mixed in its
character. If we might venture to pre-.
scribe, we would advise course of palli-
ative and soothing nursing so as to pre-
pare for the st. Louis convention. The
presumption is that body will "use all
gently" as the Pennsylvania convention
did last week Eyes right" Majorl

POLITICAL NOTES.


No wonder the Postofice Department
loses six or seven millions yearly. Bar.
low testihes that he was in the habit ot
buying off all bidders below him and in
that way got the routes and a round price
for the service.
ONCE in while Schuyler Colfax comes
out into the front yard, and, putting his
hand to his ears, listens intently to hear
if his country is calling him; and then,
unable to detect any sounds of that ma
ture, slowly and sadly he goes back into
the house, Chicago Times.
THE Concord Patriot which evidently
knows all about it, says; New Hamp-
shire is not the entire country and will
have but little influence in the great
family of States, so long as she has the
reputation Of being in the market, for
sale to the highest bidder, and her lead
ing men become auctioneers to sell the
people at the polls and glory in their
shame"
