As the Democrats expect TO get pos
session of all the offices next year,
they, are beginning to doubt seriously
tile propriety of lessening the number
and reducing the emoluments attached
thereto. 1t is all very well to reform
Republican Office holders, but when
there is a pare possibility that Deuio-
cratic iDctnfbents may have to bear
the bnrdefs gyoureDenocratic states
man hesitates to apply the knife.

A HAPPY PAIR.

The McClures, of Wooster, have a
fondness for Canton. The Captain, who
edits the Wooster Republican. ranted on
Monday evening of last week for the
Hayes club of our city. He hoisted and
shook the bloody shirt-he rampaCed
over Tilden, and fairly screeched like a
hyena over the rebel Democracy.
Matt. Mcclure, of Canton, formerly of
Wooster, is the happy whisky Govern
ment store-keeper at Sol. Miller's distil-
lery near Cairo, in this county. Matt.
watches with great ability the barrel of
whisky run each day through the still of
our friend Miller, the generous Govern
ment paying Matt. not less than 81 a day
for his arduous services. Our friend Bill
ly Wyant goes up twice week and in
spects the liquor. and receives $40 or $l2
therefor. Don't this show the way our
Government is run? Elect Tilden and
soon Government loafers would be less
numerous, and would have the privilege
of engaging in some useful business
REFORM is the watChword.
The screeching, "bloody Shirt" Cap
tain Mcclure, is Postmaster at Wooster,
and, of course, nary one of the pay triotic
McClures want Tilden elected. 1t would
be bad for their meat. The heather
priests at Ephesus were not more alarm
ed at Paul's preaching, than are these
Government leeches at Tilden's election.
They don't like the SAVIOR of Tilden,
Hendricks and Reform.

Milton Barnes, the Radical candidate
for Secretary of State in Ohio, is fair
specimen of the Radical proscriptionist
During the crusades in Ohio he headed
the professions, and, like Gov. Hayes,
contributed money to keep them up. Not
content with this, he insists that Masons,
Odd Fellows, and other society men shall
not be allowed to appear in court as wit
nesses or jurors, and besieged the Ra-
deal Legislature to have law passed dis
qualifying them, which would have
passed but for the opposition Of the Dem
ocratic members and few liberal Re-
publicans.

"Ithuriel," the Cincinnati correspondent
of the New York World, in a letter pub
lished last Saturday, says that Governor
Hayes really intended to commute the
sentence of James Murphy, who was
hanged in Dayton few days ago for the
crime of murder, but that the American
Order of United Workingmen openly
threatened to use the power of that orga.

clemency towards the murderer, and that
Hayes, fearing those threats, permitted
his ambition to overcome his humanity;
refused to hear any pleas in behalf ofthe
condemned man, and signed the order
for the execution of the death sentence.

THE FATE or 4 REFORMER.

From the New York Times, March q, 1872
For time he will be praised, but after

A man who attempts to break down an
abuse of long standing creates many bit.
ter foes, and attracts few supports; and
lucky will it be for him if in he end the
rogues whom he has brought to grief do
not contrive to make out his character
blacker than their own. That was very
wise warning of Coleridge, Truth is a
good dog; butbeware ofbarking too close
to the heels of an error, lest you get your
brains kicked out.
Mr.. Tilden is barking close at the heels
of great fraud, and he will get much en-
couragement just now, plenty ofpeople
will spur him on; but when we are told
that he looks for public gratitude after
his work is done, we must dismiss it as
an idle tale, for Mr.. Tilden is a shrewd
man, and knows perfectly we'll what sort
of a world we are living in
