WHO MUST REGISTER.

Many citizens are under the impress
sion that in accordance with the new
registration law all parties must register
to entitle them to their vote. This is a
mistake. Persons who have resided one
year in the State, $50 days in the county,
and 1855 days in the township, village or
ward in which they offer to vote are not
required or authorized to register. Also
the head of a family having actually re-
sided in the county the time required by
the act, to.wit: $3.50 days aOithoW registra-
ton, or 80 days with it, who bonGfde re-
moves from one township, village or
ward to another, in the same county,
may vote (f otherwise qualifed) in the
township, village, or ward to which he
so removes, without reference to the
time of residence therein. If, however,
he has registered in the former, he can
only vote in the latter, to which he 30 re-
moves, bysspresentiHg the proper state
ment Of such registration and qualifying
to its correctness.
The parties who must register are
those who have not resided in the State
one year, in the county 500 days, and in
the township, village, or ward, 355 days.
The rule is relaxed, however, in favor of
those changing their residence from one
county or township village or ward, to
another, Who take pains TO register in the pre-
Cinct to Which they remOve. For thus re.
moving and Registering, residence in the
county of thirty days, and in the town
ship, village, or ward, of twenty days,
next preceding the election is sufficient,
The place of registration for every pre-.
cinct is the usual place of voting therein.
The time of registration is fixed on the
third Friday and Saturday next preced-
ing every general election in April, 0cto-
ber and November, from eight o'clock A.
M. till nine O'Clock P. M. To make sure,
however, parties should register on Fri.
day. Registration can be made at no
other time or place except those speci-
fed. The above comments on the regis
ration law may be relied upon as correct
-Er.

THE STRIKE ENDED AND TRAINS
MOVING.

The railroad blockade at this point is
ended. Trains commenced moving yes
terday on all the roads, equipped with
crews either brought here or recruited
here. AS a result of this, should the sup
ply of trainmen hold out, the strike fails.
The railroad companies make no conces-
sions, and are masters of the situation.
Their success is largely due to the infu-
ence and aid, direct and indirect, of the
Federal and State governments. The
railroad side of the question, owing to
the folly Of the rioters, to say nothing of
their crimes, became the side of law and
order, while the strikers were tainted by
illegal and riotous acts, as well as intimi-
dation sure TO run into lawlessness. II
is difficult to tell just where moral sua-
sion ends and intimidation commences;
in striking operations. There are ru-
mors that the railroads concede some
points, but we cannot verify them. If
the men are forced back to work by SUI
perior strategy and power Of numbers
and money, it lie not difficult to see that
the truce will be hollow one, liable to
break out again at any time, with more
thorough preparation, Pitt8. Post, 30h.

JUDGE KELLEY of Philadelphia, an
old, malignant and consistent radical,
was in Washington last week, and pro.
fesses no surprise at the alarming strike.
He charges it to the ruinous policy of the
government in shrinking values and for
cling contraction to reach specie pay
ments. A Washington dispatch says:
There is one very decided impression
here, and that is, that the events of the
last five days have settled definitely that
the specie resumption act must be re.
pealed as soon as Congress meets. Fur
ther, that Secretary Sherman must call a
halt in ruinous financial policy which
has contributed not little to bring about
the chaos and disorder now upon the
country.

EsQUIRE FoLaER, as we have stated, se-
cured the radical nomination for the
State Senate over Mr.. Coates, by the
manipulations and maneuvres of the
Hayes Republican PostofIice leaders. Mr..
Coates was not so given to worship az to
shout-"the king can do no wrong" The
fear was that he might be a Garfield man
for the United States Senate rather than
Stanley Matthews supporter. Hence
the postoflice organ grinders and their
friends managed to give Mr.. Folger the
nomination, although Coates was entitled
to it on every principle of right and fair
dealing. Mr.. Coates, it is conceded, had
majority of the Republican votes, and
a majority Of the delegates instructed for
him. In fact it was another to affair
and all this for civil service reform ad-
ministration.
The only thing that astonishes us is
that Mr., Folger would accept a nomina-
ton under such circumstances, so to
speak.

JOHN N. RAMSEY, of Alliance, our next
Auditor, called upon us on Wednesday
of this week. Mr.. Ramsey is a clever
popular gentleman, and is just the man
to lay out Jimmy Sourbeck in this falls
campaign. gn.-Repository
Ramsey did not lay out Mr.. sourbeck
two years ago and the chances are less
for Ramsey now, as Jim Sourbeck has
made an attentive and faithful Auditor,
and will probably be continued another

We understand Ramsey is strong
against Hayes and his Southern policy.
In fact the Alliance radicals and spirit
ualists all are. Law and order at the
South fakes the starch out of them.

THE Repository says Carroll county
will endorse the Folger fraud by 500 ma
jority. We do not credit the tale, having
better opinion of fair minded Republi-
cans of little Carroll. Four years ago
Carroll gave Edwin Ferrall majority for
the Senate, and Stark gave him 600 ma
jority over his Republican opponent, and
times were not so propitious as now, DO.
litically and Democratically.-IStark Co.
Democrat.
The Repository may bluster and the
Free Press may boast OF the star that nev-
er sets,' but the facts do not indicate that
Little Carroll is fixed star in the polit-
ical system. Her majorities waver and
wabble in rickety manner, and some-
times the managers become scared. In
1875, fol- instance, they beat Haines for
Senator 312 votes, Mcclure for Represen-
tative 204, and Mortland for Judge 2l0;
in 1874 the late Auditor Shaw DEM had
260 majority, while Thos. Hays was beat
en- for Prosecuting Attorney 164 votes,
and Jos. McGregor for Commissioner 146,
the majority on the State ticket being
342. In 1887 Senator Ferrall carried the
county by 4S majority, while Morgan for
Clerk was beaten It's, Shaw for Sheriff
by 254, Cunningham for Commissioner
by 257, while the majority for Noyes was
about 1862. This sounding of gongs and
tom-toms about big majorities in Carroll
is plainly intended for effect; they hope
to pull through this fall their unpopular
tiCket-the most nauseous dose the rank
and file has had presented to them for
number of years. Chronicle.

FROM YOUNGSTOWN.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., July 27, 1877
EDiToR MISUNDERSTANDING from pres
ent indications, the Republican party in
this county is doomed to certain defeat at
the coming October election, The DEM
ocrats and Greenbackers have united on
ticket composed Of men from both par
ties, and among the very best that could
be found to I'll the various offices.
On Saturday, the 2lst inst, at 1880 a.
m., as previously announced, Democratic
delegates met in the new Court House
and transacted preli ninary business, and
adjourned until p. M, when candidates
for the offices of Auditor, Recorder, Com
missioner and Coroner were nominated,
the best of feeling and bonndless enthu-
siasm prevailing. The Greenbackers
were in session at the same time, and
put in nomination candidates for Repre-
sentative, Prosecuting Attorney and In
frmary Director. Az 3:l5 p. m, both
parties met in joint session and ratified
each others nominations; the ticket
known as the Peoples, being as follows;
For representative, Robert Mackey; Au-
dilor, James B Hughes; Pros. Attorney,
Monroe w. johnson; Recorder, Thomas
H. Ward; Comm'r. Geo. Wetzel; mfr
mary Director, Abram Kline; Coroner,
Cornelius Harrof. The candidates were
severally called upon, and responded in
brief appropriate speeches, those of Mr..
w. Johnson, Esq, and Robert Mackey
being especially felicitous and invigora-
ting. Each party, though working for
the success of the whole ticket, retains
its own separate organization and central
committee.
Hoping the time honored Democracy
of "Molie Stark" will meet with success;
as we confidently expect to in this coun-
ty.

pressed will of the Republican party was
wholly disregarded by the Hayes leaders
in the district, and Mr.. Folger made it on

If knaves beguile, by felOn art,
The shifting favor of the hour;

And brazen Impudence has power;
nlow Ambition buy his place
While Merit waits in half disgrace,
Still undecided sways the fight:

No quarter while one foeman stands
To mock eternal Right
