MURDER AND CONSCIENCE.
A Guilty Wife, a False Friend and an
AVenglng HusbAnd.-A Murder Con-
fessed Six Months After the Deed.

VAN VERT, o., May 8.-About six
months ago Arthur Anson, engaged in
getting out ship timber, applied to far
mer named John Anderson for board
which he secured. Anderson resided in
Jackson townsoip, this county, about II
miles north of this place, about that time
His wife, woman of inordinate vanity,
very pretty, and one child comprised his
family. Almost instantly after Anson
commenced boarding there an intimacy
sprung up between them, which culmi-
mated in plan for an elopement. She
was to go to Fort Wayne, and when settl-
ed she would write to Anson, who would
join her about the first of last March.
She fulfilled her agreement, taking the
necessary precaution. He notified the
postmaster at Middle point not to deliver
his letters to other parties unless writ.
ten order from him was presented. An
derson suspicioning Anson, he presented
a forged order to the postmaster and OBJ
tanned letter. Recognizing his wifes
writing, he opened it and became &C.
quainted with its contents. Undecided
how to proceed, he returned home that
evening and ate supper with Arson, who
was still boarding with him. After tea
Anson went to the postofice, and there
learned that Anderson had obtained the
letter. He Immediately proceeded to
Anderson's house and demanded the
letter Being refused, he picked up an
AK and tried to strike Anderson, who
grabbed butcher knife and stabbed AM
son three times, the knife penetrating the
heart, causing instant death. Becoming
he took the body to an old |
cabin near by, formerly used by lumber
men, and underneath it he buried it, and |
set fire to the cabin, destroying all pos
sible traces, On Saturday he came here
and confessed all, saying his conscience
would not permit him TO keep it any
longer. He claims that he killed Anson
in self-defense. He was lodged in Jail.
officers have gone in search of the body.
The excitement is very high here, His
wife never returned.

THE meeting of our Democratic COM
mittee was largely attended on Saturday
and the best Of feeling and harmony
prevailed. An interchange Of views as
to the popular vote and delegate conven'
ton plans of making nominations for
county positions was had, In which sew
eraI prominent Democrats, not members
of the committee, participated, While a
strong sentiment prevailed favorable to
the convention plan, for change, the
committee pretty unanimously voted to
nominate on Saturday, June I'd, and by
the popular plan. The committee also
authorized a vote by the Democrats of
the county at the primary meetings, with
view of ascertaining whether a change
is desired. The main care should be in ma
king party nominations for official posi-
tions to make judicious selections, The
vital points TO be considered, as stated by
Jefferson, were--"ls he honest, is he ca
pabie, is he faithful to the Constitution" p"
The cdpabiHty in question, of course, has
reference to the qualifications required
for the place to be filled, Both plans of
nominating are liable to abuse, and La
BILE to be misused for lack of proper care
We are all so apt to draw conclusions
from one manifestation of possible super
iority when this has no application what
ever to the case under consideration.
For example, Washington and Jefferson
and Jackson were no. selected to fill pub
positions on account Of their power as
mere declaimers. They were rather
known as men of thought, Of high integ-
rity, noble instincts of character; men
of capacity, who could promote and sus'
tain a great cause and organize victory,
The object of every good Democrat in
Stark should be to use and exert his in
auence so as to build up the cause in the
county and thereby in the State. We
doubt not our friends will do their whole
duty and accomplish a good work

Ex-GovERNoR MOVES, the man who wa'
defeated by old William Allen for re-
election in 1873, has been appointed by
Mr.. Hayes as Minister to France This
appointment does not seem to be spe.
cially pleasing to the Cincinnati Gazette
Its Washington correspondent is allowed
to telegraph as follows:
Mr.. Noyes was Governor of Ohio dur
ing the years 1872 and 1873. and was de-
feated for second term by old William
Allen. Since that he has been practicing
law for recreation and wire-pulling in
politics for business. He was prominent
in Ohio as a stumper for Governor Hayes
in 1875, and, after nominating the Gov
ernor at tie Cincinnati Convention, and
doing much to hold the Ohio delegation
unanimous, in order to make the final
success possible, he went over into Indi-
ana and held that State down to Dem.
ocratic majority of 5000. He has been a
consistent and unCompromising Repub.
lican, and, until the present time, was
conspicuous for his bitterness toward the
South and his faith in the down trodden
carpet -bagger. His selection will not
start many bonfres among the Liberal
neighborhoods in Ohio, but France is the
locality to be commserated.
Mr.. Noyes is small specimen of the
genus radical, and came from New Hamp-
shire to this State.

SOME radical organs continue to spit
out their hearts protests. The Boston
Traveller says it has been trying to i'm
agine the extent of the howl that would
go up if Blaine, or Morton, or Ingersoll,
or Ben Wade had been caught peddling
away the rights of Southern Republicans
for peaceful Inauguration, or in lobby
ing for the Texas-Pacifc job, as Matthews
has been caught. What dreadful fellows
they would have been, to be sure. But
Matthews is a new Republican, an
experimental Republican, in fact, and
his little irregularities must be overlook
ed" The Adams County IN. ~ Press,
seems to be inspired with some of the
bitterness. "Is the Republic to be sold
to infamy for the sake of quiet for Hayes?
Is the Republican party by its chosen
leader being betrayed to its enemy2"

COMPARATIVELY few people of this po-
litical generation remember much of the
old Whig party. The last stand made by
this party was in 1858. In 1854 the Know
Nothing party gobbled it and swept
things, carrying Stark county by some
1900 majority, electing B. F. Letter to
Congress, &c. We well remember the
period, for the STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT
fought heyoung giant, regardless of fear,
favor or affection. "Haye you seen SamP"
was the question among the initiated.
Abolition Sambo soon swallowed "Sam,"
and we got, in 1856, the Fremont Repub-
lican party. The answering, unfaltering
Democratic party remains and continues.
Built on Truth, Justice and the Constitu-
ton, we need no change of name nor
principles. 1t is only the votaries of err
ror and wrong who need to change their
names. If the Hayesites change back
for name, we recommend FEDERAL.
This was what they were originally
christened.

The Chairman of the Rhode Island
Republican State Committee in a recent
speech said
but little understand the current Of
political events and the pulse of the great
Republican party, if l am not in full &C.
cord with its principlesas enunciated and
practically exemplifed in the policy oil
President Hayes.
If l have forfeited my allegiance to the
Republican party, l have the satisfaction
OF knowing that am but one of hund.
reds of thousands Of Republicans who
occupy an identical position, and that the
chiefest oil all and the leader whom I re.
cognize is Rutherford B. Hayes, the Re.
publican President of the United States
The Committee by vote of 27 to 1f
requested him to resign. This would in.
dicate that the Republican party in
Rhode Island do not believe Hayes's pol.
icy is in accord with "the pulse of the
great Republican party"

WE should really like our learned
neigbor of the Repository to tell us if the
Republican party is against Mr.. Hayes.
Senator Blaine for example, who is OPP
posed to Hayes, has been reelected
chairman of the Maine Republican State
Committee without opposition. Also in
Mr.. Chandler's State, Michigan, all the
rs Republican Assemblymen but 7-Mr.
Hayes has the this time-voted down a
resolution approving his policy in the
Federal Relations Committee. Also, in
Rhode Island, Mr.. Anthony's State, the
Chairman of the Providence Committee
has b zee censured and ousted for declar-
ing in favor OF the President" We are.
glad to see the Repository stand by Mr..
Hayes, and take position against those
Blaine Wade radicals. We fear Mr.. Hayes
is like the resolute fellow in the circus
who tried to ride the trick mule. The
Critter would kick up behind and before
as long as he was on its back. The Rep.
folks are doubtless ready to follow
Hayes over to another party arrange
ment, Wing or Federal.

TnE Cincinnati Comnercial gires room

The Cincinnati Commercial gives room
for the following puff for Noyes of Ohio !:
"Noyes, formerly Governor ofthis State
has been appointed Minister to France.
The idea Of sending this accomplioe in
the election frauds and forgeries, where
by usurper was placed in the Presiden-
tial chair, does not reflect great deal of

the exception Of j. Madison Wells, Noyes
contributed more to the success Of his
