GOVERNOR HAYES calling out the mill
tary to attend to the miners, continues to
trouble the Repository. Last week, again,
the organ defended their candidate for
President-we suppose for the reason
that he needs it. i.
The burden of the RepOSitOryS song is,
that Sheriff Rauch addressed letter to
Governor Hayes, requesting him to send
the military into Stark county. On this
statement our neighbor basis his defense
of Mr.. Hayes in this expensive piece Of
business. We understand that, even
now, when the miners are, and have been
for some time, generally at work, even
now, we say, troops are stationed there r.
the public expense. Will the Repository
also charge this upon Sheriff Rauch p
We understand the cost thus far is about
seven thousand dollars
Now, we say, to the Repository and all
whom it may concern, that we have seen
no letter published, even purporting to
be addressed to Governor Hayes by
Sheriff Rauch. We are aware our neigh
Dor claims to have published such let
ter, but the Repository has given no letter
written to the Governor by our Sheriff as
claimed. The Repository well knows that
there had been no effort made to enforce
the law on the part of the Sheriff and
civil authorities before the military were
sent. No warrant had even been sworn
out and placed in the Sherif's hands,
And when the Sheriff heard of the War
mington riot, it was ended and all was
quiet, and there has been no riot since.
Plain facts are stubborn things to pre-
sent against the folly and haste of Cover
nor Hayes,
THE radical Grant-Hayes majority in
the United States Senate did not repeal
the Sherman Resumption act. The Dem
ocratic House repealed it, but that was

While one of our reporters was saunter-
ing through the halls of the Kennard
House on Saturday, he happened to catch
glimpse of Hon. Peter White, of Mar
quette, Michigan. The reporter, always
alive and anxious for news, sought an in
terview with the gentleman from Mar
quette, who is without doubt the best
authority upon the mooted question ofthe
so called currency issued in the mining
regions of Lake Superior. And in which
transaction Governor Tilden has been
most unfairly accused of issuing millions
of dollars worth of the paper and never
redeeming it. The Plain Dealer has
already pretty throughly exposed the
transparency Of these charges, never
theless the Leader who delights in wrong
doing persists in publishing statements
which they know to be false.
After getting the Hon. Peter White in
a place where no one was likely to dis
turb the interview our representative
asked Mr.. White if he had seen and read

"EEERYTHlNG For THE CD USE"

Everything for the cause-nothing
for men," was an old Democratic motto,
and just now is eminently worthy of our
consideration and regard, The great OBJ
iect is to oust from power the present
radical dynasty, and restore the Consti-
tuition and honest Administration in the
General Government.
Every good citizen wishes well to the
country, for in doing so he is wishing
well to him and his. Thus wishing and
willing, he will desire to do his duty in
that regard, and promote in his own little
field the good work of restoring to power
in federal affairs, the party ofthe Consti-
ton and reform.
In this noble and important work we
desire Stark county to lend full hand.
The Democracy and friends of reform
in this county earnestly desire it. Let
every one, then, consider the Importance
of the CAUSE, and act accordingly. Lay
aside for the present personal conCeits
and individual ambitions, and be ready
to make sacrifices upon the altar of suf
fering country. The prospects are good
for the election of Tiden and Hendricks
and nothing should be allowed to inter-
vene, in any locality, to prevent harmony
of action. Success can only be attained
by cordial and united work on the part
of all those desiring a change of admin
istration. Local success depends upon
this harmonious condition of things also,
as all in or out of Office may understand.
The fact is, it matters very little to
people in general whether this man or
that is chosen to fill position and dis
charge a public duty. The public are
mainly interested in having the duties
honestly and properly performed. The
private members, then, of political or
ganization, have right to demand of
those they elected to office, all proper re-
quirements in this respect; and that,
while such functionaries discharge faith
fully and agreeably their public duties,
proper party fidelity should not be dis
regarded, for as THEY are profting by
party harmony, good sense and fair deal
ing should induce them to throw their
influence in favor of maintaining the eff
fciency of the party organization.

CONGRESS- ON MONDAY.
Randall Reuiew8 The House work

Mr., Randall submitted report of the
Committee Of Conference on the Indian
Appropriation Bill. The report was
agreed to without discussion
Mr. Randall then proceeded to make
some general remarks on the several ap-
preparation bills.
MR.. RANDALL ON THE WORK OF THE SESSION
Mr., Randall gave an extended account
of the reduction policy of the House,
charging the Senate with having defeated
still greater economy contemplated by
the House. He defended the various APP
preparation bills as sufficient, and ar
raigned the Republican party as obstruc-
tive to economy and given to extrava-
gance. He dwelt at length on the va
rious reforms proposed by the Democratic
House fer checking extravagant expen-
ditures and securing economy and eff
cheney in public service, and showed
how many hundreds of employees were in
the Department who were not needed.
He defended the position of the House
on the reduction ofthe Presidents salary
from $4,000 to $4,000, and expressed sim
cere conviction that the people would see
the matter in its true light. As to the
proposed reduction of compensation of
Senators and Members, the Senate had
urged against it the abolition of the
franking privilege, but the Senate had
since passed bill to restore the franking
privilege, an action which certainly
would not escape criticism. Another
valuable result which had been accom-
plished had been the enactment of pro-
vision against political assessment of
Government employees, He gave the
following recapitulation of appropriation
bills:
The estimates of the Departments for
the year were S2O9 099O25.
Bills as reported by the Committee on
Appropriations, Sl97, ,2S5,I95.
Bills as passed by the House, Sl3S752,-

Bills as passed by the Senate, Sl5S,-

Bills as enacted in law, S147747,092.
As against appropriations for the last
year of Sl77 ,6O3,327.
Being a reduction of 1899 ,253.
Mr. Randall, in conclusion, said that
early in the session he had stated it as
his belief that the expenditures would

BY ACCLAMATION.

Pursuant to notice the Republican
Congressional Convention for this, the
Seventeenth District, met on Tuesday, in
the Opera House, at Alliance.
On motion John H. Whitcraft, of Car
roll, was made temporary chairman, and
II. w. Brown, of Columbiana, secretary.
Committees were appointed on Gre
dentials, permanent officers, rules and

honing, L. Edwards, of Columbiana, and
R. H. Folger, of Stark, which report was
unanimously adopted.
The l2 o'clock train brought in addi.
tional delegates and made quite a full
Convention. Some preparatory sparring
took place as to the mode of taking the
vote, which after some time consumed
was decided by requiring the chairman
Of each delegation to report the vote.
Mr.. Kent Jarvis named Major Wm.
Mckinley as a candidate.
Mr.. Walter Campbell in few remarks
with no Democratic frenzy on his lips"
withdrew the name of Hon. L. D. Wood
worth as a candidate.
A gentleman withdrew Mr.. Hartzell
as a candidate before the Convention.
DR.. Tripp moved Mr.. Mckinley be
nominated by acclamation, which being
seconded the Chair required a standing
vote, when not much over bare major
ity arose but on putting the negative
only some three or four stood up.

and that seldom enough. We could not
get enough money to carry on business
and pay the men, so we usa to give them
these drafts, which always brought their
face value. In 1866 this was discontin-
ued, for we could obtain all the money
we wanted, In 1873, during the panic,
it was impossible to obtain currency, so
we issued sixty day drafts. AS soon as
currency became more plentiful we COM
menced paying those drafts, and Gov
ernor Tilden wrote US distinctly that we
were to make no abatement on account
of their being paid before due but to pay
them up to the last cent,

those drafts been issued

Mr., w. have always found Gov.
Tilden most scrupulously honest, most
upright business man, full of integrity
and most prompt and reliable in all his
business transactions with me, And
this is Interpolation that he bears by all
who know him at Lake Superior.

your country, politically!

unless he be an oficeholder or expect!
to be one, will vote for Mr., Tilden, inde

POLITICAL rings, composed of political
cutthroats, either in or out of Court or
other houses, are organized wholly and
entirely for selfish purposes. These
rings or combinations have had such
baleful influences of late years, and re-
suited in such infamous robberies as the
Boss Shepherd, Credit Mobilier and other
schemes, that people are disposed to lay
out and crush all such arrangements.
The Democracy have Mr.. Tilden as their
candidate for President, who is well
known as "ring smasher," having been
mainly instrumental in extinguishing
the Tweed and Canal rings in the city
and State of New York.
Mr.. Tilden's noble course in bringing
the Tweed scoundrels to justice made
him Governor of New York, and his
equally noble conduct as Governor in
crushing the Canal ring and reforming
public affairs will make him President.
His very presence in the White House
will have salutary effect. Like Roder-
iCk Dhu:
One blast upon his bugle horn,
Were worth thousand men!
The people are watchtul of political re-
suits these days. All realize the neces-
sity of such men as Samuel ]. Tilden
and this very feeling is going to elect
him.
In this connection we may be permit
ted to say word over the singular result
of the Republican primary election in
Stark county lastLSaturday. For instance,
who ever supposed that Mr.. Anson Pease
would defeat Judge Underhill for the
nomination of Common Pleas Judge?-
Who thought it possible that Mr.. Wilcox
would be nominated for the Recorder for
the third consecutive term? There is
considerable enquiry as to how these
things came to pass, Was there ring
combinations? Did the arrangement ex-
tend and include Congress as well as
County Commissioner, &c? Not know
ing how our Republican friends did man
age, we make free to PROFOUND these en-
quiries:
When men combine and rings are formed,
The citadel Of right is stormed
The People are the victims straight
Impending ruins on the Stale
But once the people understand
And see this curse upon the land,
They rouse and soon the rings are broke,
While tn elements disperse like smokel
Let each conniving crew beware
And for what's right take watchful care

THE SPEECHES.

Major Mckinley was called for and
soon appeared on the stage. He accept
ed the nomination so unanimously ten
dered-felt it high honor to be nomi-
mated over such distinguished gentlemen,
The Republican party was possessed of
the best conscience and the best heart of
the country-it gave freedom to four mil
lions of slaves-issued money to save
this government, and made that money
good-it was the party of loyalty-they
had a matchless ticket-their platform
was entitled to confidence, and they
would elect the grand Rutherford B.
Hayes in a whirlwind of victory: zap
plause.)
Mr.. Woodwork being called for fol-
lowed in a speech of some length. He
spoke Of the confusion of the moment
had high sense of appreciation of the
confidence shown. Mr.. w. Haunted the
bloody shirt-referred to the Hamburg
massacre, and said the restoration of
the Democracy to power means this as
well as reputation ofour and payment of
the confederate debt, and also Democratic
free trade. he also referred to the war
and the Union dead (of whom Wood
worth is not one) and ended with roar
for Rutherford, and an appeal to the Re-
publicans to do their duty.
Mr.. Hartzell after being called upon
came forward, saying he was hardly of
the opinion he was a candidate. He
called upon Republicans to support the
