BILE criticism has been evoked in relation to
the construction of the temporary roof of the
Patent Office, and the assertion has been
made that many valuable records of the
department were injured or ruined by the
storm OF the ith instant, In cOnseQ lence of
the absence Of said roof Reports from the
head of every bureau occupying quarters in
the department, to Secretary Schurz, show
that not single record was damaged or was
destroyed by the cylone I'm question. Most

such as were not were speedily removed be-

construction of the roof under tue direction
Of Mr.. s. 7. q. Morsell, an experienced

THE Kansas Pacific Railroad Company
has appointed Mr.. Augustine excursion
agent for that road. He will have head
quarters at Mansfield, Ohio, and his duty
will be to work up excursions for West
ern Kansas. 1t is a good appointment.
Mr.. Augustine is especially fitted for this
business. He is thoroughly posted on
the advantages that Kansas has, and has
had much experience in the real estate
business.
The above, which we clip from the
Dickinson County Chronicle, published at
Abeline, Kansas, records the promotion
of Mr.. Jacob Augustine, who for many
years was citizen of Stark county. His
new position will make it necessary for
him to open an Office in Ohio, and prob
ably Mansfield will be the point select
ed. His duties will be in the interest
of the Kansas Pacific R. R. Co., to work
up excursions for the far west, and fur
nish cheap transportation for all who
want to get nearer to sunset, or who want
to personally inspect the attractions of
Kansas and Colorado, as an accessible
paradise for the many who have not well
"recked the reed" in the jostling Of their
eastern homes. May he and his patrons
be mutually benftted.

For the credit of the Canton Republi-
cans we will say, they quite generally
hang their heads in shame. Indeed,
some look as if they had stolen sheep.
We are beginning to pity them, for they
have some conscience, and hence it trou-
bles them to think of the Hayes fraud,
the Wells Returning Board, the perjured
eight, and the rest of the DEVILS crew.
We never believed in "total depravity"
till recently. But the sad evidences of
fallen and depraved human nature, fur
nished by the Hayes infamy, compels us
to acknowledge that the heart in some Of
these radical leaders is terribly wicked,
without soft spot in one of them. It
must have been such fellows that made
John Calvin, John Knox ct al believers
in total depravity. Count us in, on that
line of belief.

tings, were so insensible to shame as to
hoist flags over the success of fraud and
perjury, showing that they rejoice over
a fraudulent President, man mean and
small enough to accept the office after he
was defeated for the same before the
people. His fair defeat is known of all
men who read and search for KNOWLEDGE
and truth. Democrats well know it,
Republicans know it; r. B. Hayes knows
it, the Chandlers, Shermans, Camerons
q Co. Even Republicans, plenty of
them, admit with shame that Samuel ].
Tildsn was elected honestly and fairly,
and thus acknowledge that R. B. Hayes
is Presidentby fraud.

Mr.. GARFIELD admitted to the Com
mittee of the House last week, that he
did draw brief for a brother lawyer in
behalf of DeGolyer, and for which he re-
ceived $1,000. He claimed it was fair
business transaction; but, as chairman
of the committee on appropriations he
had to report on the DeGolyer claim i
Strange coincidence Mr.. Garfield was
indignant that anybody should hint any
thing wrong in the transaction. He would
be considered pure and spotless, and fails
to see how any one can make harm out
of it. Innocent Mr.. Garfield.

The country would be pleased to have
a little political repose.-Lin. Com.
The People would be pleased to have
honest government, less of open, infam-

other thieves connected with the goy-

repose" in tyranny and all kinds of
wrong doing, with the people oyertaxed

Hon. ABRAM S. Hewitt, of New York
city, resigned the craftsmanship of the
Democratic National committee in let
ter of some length, in which he defends
his course in Congress on the count, and
his acting and voting with the Republi-
cans to have the count 60 on, and have
Hayes counted in. He feared disastrous
consequences in the defeat of the count,
resulting eventually in civil war;" He
claims our candidates were unquestion-
ably elected, and claims "the wisdom OF
his course will be vindicated by the early
and triumphant success of the Democrat
ic party, standing as it does upon the
rock of justice and patriotism" &c.
But what does the rock amount to un-
less it is defended by patriotism, Patri-
OTIS, Mr.. Hewitt, stand up for their rights,
the rights of Justice. We had the vic
tory, and there is a general feeling among
Democrats, that it is lost by lack of prop
er and resolute management. Remember
two months ago the Democracy of Ohio
and Indiana held rousing State conven-
tions. This movement was inaugurated
because we realized the danger, and be-
cause we firmly believed that the 1905
6O6 who voted for and elected Tilden
could and should inaugurate him. But
this movement alarmed our own friends,
leaders if you please, as well as the Re-
publicans. Hence the movement was
snubbed and throttled, when it should
have been encouraged and kept up all
over the country. Mr.. Hewitts resigna-
ton and letter of excuse make a melan-
choly acknowledgment. We hope sena-
tor Barnum of Connecticut will prove
the man for the place,

TREASURER Oh STATE.

The suggestion of the Stark County
Democrat, that George Fessler, ESQ.,, the
present Treasurer of Stark county, would
MAKE very popular candidate on the
Democratic State ticket for Treasurer of
State, meets with general favor in the
counties in this section of the State. Mr..
Fessler has honesty, capacity, and great
home popularity to commend him, and
the Democracy of Stark county never
having had candidate on the Demo
cratic State ticket, should have some
kindly recognition at the hands of their
brethren throughout the state.-Wagne

THE COUNT.

Last Thursday and Thursday night In
the House there were exciting times
Gallant and determined Democrats did
their utmost to prevent thesucces OF the
scheme of the conspirators-to prevent
the counting in as President the man
who was defeated by the popular vote
and by the Electoral vote. Owing, how
ever, to the timidity, fear, or something
else of about one half Of the Democratic
members, the true men were unable to
prolong the fnality of the count till Con-
gress should expire at II O'Clock, noon,
on Sunday. AN honor to the true and
fearless who fought so bravely.
We refer cur readers to the quite full
account of the proceedings in this paper
1t will be seen that the Democratic mem
bers from Ohio stood to the work like
men, Messrs. Walling and Poppleton be-
Ing especially active and conspicuous.
The Vermont return that Mr.. Ferry
refused to open or recognize, and which
he had tossed under the table, caused
great alarm among the radicals, and
should have defeated them, but too many
Democratic members voted with the Re-
publicans, and Vermont, with her one
illegal vote, was also given to Hayes
The same thing was done with Wiscon-
sin, and the conspiracy was consumma'
ted, and Hayes declared elected
In contrast with this, we mention that
on Sunday the House by party vote,
passed resolution that Tildel and Hen
bricks were honestly and fairly elected !
We rejoice that our friends placed them
selves thus on record; even if the golden
opportunity had passed for making this
expression ofany force or effect in law.
Had it only taken proper shape at the
proper time and place, it might have
avaiIed; but, too late, too late.

A switch Misplaced.

How near the passengers on the c.
p. train Thursday last came to being
wrecked is thus described by the
SitUer State of that day: Yesterday
the railroad men discovered a switch
at the main track east of town opened
in such a way as to make the ditching
of a train going east or west over the
road inevitable. The passenger was
the first train due at the time, and Sc
rious consequences might have re-
suited had not the discovery been
made that the switch vas out of place.
w no the miscreant was that made this
dastardly attempt to throw a train of
the track is not even suspected, but
he is doubtless some tramp, who in
some way, has got possession OF a
switch key. This is one Of those
criminal acts for which there is nc ex-
cuse whatever. and there is no punish
ment that a be too severe for the
scoundrels who practice it.
