ADELEGAroN of Ohio Republicans from
the Western Reserve arrived. in WASH
ington last week, and besought Hayes to
remember that Ohio Republicans would
be satisfied with nothing short of the re-
cognition of Packard by the use of the
whole Federal army if necessary. They
asserted that Hayes would be deserted
by the Republicans Of his own State If
he abandoned Packard, and threatened
II he did SO, to send Packard and Cham :

North ito IRE the Northern heart" The
Western Reserve Bourbons don't seem

We were in hopes Marshal Webb
would be so web-footed Monday that he
wouldn't make it; but he straddled the
shoulders of Braden and all the other
Republican candidates, and, with Demo
cratic help, beat Louis Rigler, as worthy
and gallant Democrat as Canton holds.
Henry McCann was elected to Council
in the second ward, and these twin rel
ics' are all that are left to tell the tale of
of woe that befell the Returning Board
Hayes party in Canton. 1t was fright
full overthrow of "the party of great
moral IDEAS" and fraudulent President.
The City Council will stand six Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans.

TwENTY-sIx years ago, when Harrison
was President, Daniel Webster, then
Secretary of State, wrote: "The Presi'
"dent is of opinion that tits great abuse
Ito bring the patronage of the General
Government into conflict with the free
"dom of the elections; and that this abuse
"ought to be corrected wherever it may
"have been permitted to exist, and to be
prevented for the future"

IT is stated that on Sabbath last Presi'
dent Hayes and Mrs. Hayes attended
the Foundry M. E. church at Washing
ton, but did not remain for communion,
leaving with the goats. On arriving at
the White House he found sharp and
long document from Chamberlain, who
would be Governor of South Carolina
by the force ofthe military. In the doc
ument he tells Mr. Hayes he would not
be President but for the vote of South
Carolina, which was obtained by the
military. The document throughout
breathes a tone of defiance, and serves
as a gentle reminder that the troops are
as necessary now in Columbia to uphold
Republican Government as they were
before the election to insure Republi-
can majority. The paper has made a
deep impression upon Hayes, and fore
shadows that the carpet-bag dynasty are
not going to allow themselves to be snuff
fed out without vigorous party kick.

The reason why Chamberlain joined
hands with the desperate ring in South
Carolina, after playing the role of a re-
former to attract Democratic support, is
stated in the N. Y. Sun:
Previous to the Convention which re-
nominated Chamberlain for Governor,
Dunn and Elliott, two of his most active
enemies, had obtained certain letters
written by him, and Elliott publicly an.
nounced during one of the sessions that
he had in his possession papers which
would send the Governor to the Peni-
tentiary. The latter had carried matters
with high hand up 10 this point, but
the threat brought him to terms. Amin
terview was arranged, and Chamberlain
was informed that he could have the
nomination for Governor. and his friend
CORDOBA that for Treasurer, provided the
nomination for other State officers were
given to certain other persons. Seeing
that he was at the mercy of his adversa-
ries, Chamberlain surrendered upon the
spot, and that is how it happens that he
went into the recent canvass.

A BROTHER editor writes to know if
GEoR FEssLER can secure the endorse
ment of the Democracy of Stark county
for Treasurer of State. All we have to
say is, that if he cannot, no one can. Mr..
Fessler is now serving his second term
as County Treasurer, and both times he
was elected he ran largely ahead of his
ticket. His influence would be worth
much to our local ticket next fall, if the
State Convention should nominate him
for Treasurer of State.

He Puts on His War Paint and Turns

The subjoned item, concerning an ex-
Piocher. we CLEAN from the Brooklyn

McCluskey's hotel OF Bath Park was
the scene of considerable excitement last
Saturday afternoon. and for a short time
ii seemed that the season of that favorite'
summer resort would be marked with a
tragic opening. Some months ago Mr..
McCluakey made an assignment OF his
property to Mr.. Kehoe, wealthy New
York liquor merchant, with whom he
had some business transactions. Mr..
Kehos laid claim to the property, and on
Saturday commissioned his agent, VIM.
II. Calvin, of No. Al Lafayette avenue,
to enforce it at all hazards. For the pur-
pose of carrying out bis instructions,
forcibly if necessary, Mr.. Calvin, &C.
companied by dozen or more men, who
acted as his body guard, and who. it is
alleged, We're all armed and ready for
any emergency. went 10 the place, and
when MIR. McCluskey was quietly sip
ping his coffee up stairs took possession
of the bar.room. The walters and en-
ployes in the Park were frightened out
OF their wits OF the formidable and un-
expected invasion, and ran in all direc-
tons. AS soon as MIR. McCluskey bad
heard OF the occurrence and finished his
coffee he descended to the bar.room, and
without saying word to the visitors,
coolly stepped to his little desk in one
corner, and picking up ponderous and
formidable sharpshooter, which had
done him good service during his expert
ence among the wild tribes of the Far
West, where be spent many years, and
cooking the weapon, raised it to his
breast. and then ordered the invaders to
dispense. This display of courage on the
part of the boss had the effect of dispel-
ling the terror of the employees, who one
by one came back and stood ready to
obey his commands. Not 30 with Mr..
Galvin's retainexs, who retreated in dis
order at the sight of McC'uskey's minia-

that he was checkmated, also took his
departure. and returned to the city with
his disorganized army. On reaching
town he FASTENED 10 Justice Riley e
Court, and swore out warrant for the
arrest OF Mr.. McCiuskey, charging him
with having drawn deadly weapon on
him. and threatened to take his life.
Officers Shaugnnessy and Standby went
to Bath with the warrant and brought
Mr.. McCluskey to the city. Mr. Calvin
was very anxious to have Mr.. McCluskey
locked up on Sunday, but Justice Riley,
on hearing the statement OF the latter,
refused to accom- ID odate him in that re-
spect. and allowed the accused to go on
his own recognizance until this morning
when the parties appeared in court. Or

client was in no way to blame.
