thirty one injured.
Vienna, August 8.-The results of the
Hungarian election are known in 1874 election
districts, and show that 116 Liberals, sup
porters of the present Government, 81 of
the United Opposition and p of the Extreme
Left have been elected. Herr TizZa, Chief
of the Hungarian Ministry, will probably be
returned from some constituency where
second ballot is necessary. 1t is thought his
defeat by the Radicals of Debreezin will have
the effect of making him adhere more firmly
to the moderate wing of the Liberal party.

WHY THEY DID Nor NOMINATE. The Re-

assembled set forth as follows their reasons
for not making any nominations:
We deem it inexpedient to nominate can
didates for Governor and other State officers

this State, occasioned by rife-club rule and
two years of Democratic supremacy, it is i'm
possible for the Republican voters in many
counties, without mourning great personal
danger, to organize for the campaign or to
vote at the election when held

without avail. To let 90 was almost certain

was to yell, and yell he did, long and Justify.
Every moment seemed an age, and he was

ETERNAL VIGILANCE THE PRICE OF SAFETY.
Says the Reno Journal of Friday:

EIEkNAL NTILANCE The RUE Of SAFETY.
Says the Reno Journal of Friday:
Though the ominous Wednesday morning
has passed quietly away, there are still many
warlike rumors ahoat Sensational accounts
of secret meetings and incendiary utterances
are heard OH every side, but are generally of
such character as not to be believed. Still
we urge all law abiding citizens to heed the
necessity of continued vigilance, for should
any more attempts be intended the agtators
would naturally wait until the unusual vigi-
lance had abandoned The trouble is by no
means settled, and the safety of the town
demands the continuance Of the citizen guard.
An ounce of prevention is better than ton
or two Of cure Just now, and therefore the
suggestive sight of special citizen policeman
behind an ugly looking pistol is worth more
than hundred feet of hemp after the town
is in ashes.

WHOSE men and whose measures
whose policy and practices have controll-
ed and moulded the government and
laws during the past sixteen yearsP AS
suredly the Democracy have not had
control for an hour; and the Republican
party having had full control, are respon.
sible for the distress and business pros
tration in the country, What excuse,
then, have Democrats to abandon their
party at this time? We can understand
why Republicans, especially laboring
men, should be dissatisfied with their
party and should abandon it; and we
can understand why their strong preju-
dice should cause them to prefer not to
join the Democratic party. But let them
consider that there are only the two
great political organizations; that the de-
feat of the one is the success of the other
that all honestly and sincerely opposed
to the party in power, must act together
if they wish to accomplish anything.
This is common sense and inevitable. In
fact there are but two sides to question,
favorable or adverse. All opposed to
the party in power should, like rational
men, act together; for when bad men are
in power, good citizens should associate
to drive them out.

IT seems to be favorite amusement
these days for the Republicans to crit
else the management of our State insti-
tutions, only those, however, which have
been reorganized. The Central Insane
Asylum seems to come in for the largest
share of abuse. A Leader correspond
ent recently enlightened the public on
the financial condition Of this institu-
ton. The appropriation of $l75,0O0 for
current expenses, he stated was nearly
exhausted. If he had access to this fact,
he must also have had knowledge of the
fact that only $58OOO of this, or more,
was required to settle the unpaid bills of
the late Republican Board and Superin-
tendent. A full statement Of the fnan-
cial condition of this institution was
given in the Cincinnati Enquirer of the
7th inst, but we haYe failed to see it cop
led into any Republican paper. Perhaps
a little attention given to the State insti-
tutions not reorganized would not be out
Of place. There might be, then, an op-
portunity to compare as to crookedness
or expensive management. Will not the
Republican papers act fairly, and perform
this duty to the public?

Just one year ago communica-
ton appeared in the columns of the
DEMOCRAT, signed Andrew j., that car
ried alarm into the Mckinley camp.
This writer, who is prominent RepuG'
lican, gave the particulars of the traffic
of the Canton PostofiiCe by Tom Saxton
of the Repository, who spoke'by authority
from Mckinley, whose uncle by marriage
Tom Saxton is. The article created
alarming indignation in this community,
which compelled Major Mckinley to
come out over his own signature, de-
nying any hand in the traffic, 80
far as he was concerned, but admitting
that the Postmaster General referred the
matter to him, and he recommended the
removal of H. D. Shafer, and the ap.
pointment of the present incumbent, Mr.,
A. Vignos, Tom Saxton's selection. We
reproduce this interesting correspond
ence at this time, to show the close favor
Mr. Mckinley stands with the Hayes
Administration, which will explain,
somewhat, his servility in Congress, in
voting as required by Hayes, John Sher'
man & Co. We published in last weeks

by Major Mckinley during the last ses-

THE Akron Beacon is pitching in to
Mr.. Lewis Miller, the greenback Candi-
date for Congress, charging him with
owning stock in a National Bank, and
with having been bitter opponent of
the Democracy. Mr.. Miller may own
stock in National Bank, and yet not
believe in the system. Neither will he
deny his previous hostility to the De-
mocracy; and prejudice is hard to lay
aside; but the greatest friend of truth is
time, her greatest enemy is prejudice,
her constant companion humility. The
Democratic party remove prejudice by
proper humility, and time disgusts the
votaries of error by letting them taste its
evil results.

THF MAssrLLoN PosrOFFIOE.


The Massillon postoflice has history
as we'll as that of Canton. The fact Is,
Major Mckinley played more treaCh-
erous part there than here; not, perhaps,
a more disgraceful part, for, indeed, It
would be hard to conceive of anything
more disgraCeful than the Mckinley
Saxton manipulation Of the Canton post
Office. .r..
Mr.. Fred. Hookway, for long years q
resolute and efficient worker in the Re-
publican ranks at Massillon, labored two
years ago for Major Mex nley's nomina-
tion, and to Mr.. Hookway, probably
more than to any other one man, did
Mckinley owe his nomination. After
securing the nomination Major McKin-
ley felt grateful, and assured Mr., Hook
way his noble services should not be
forgotten, as he had previously promised.
To friend of Mr.. Hookway, promi-
nent citizen of Massillon, who inter
viewed the Major before the election
two years ago, Major Mckinley promised
the Massillon postoffice to Mr. Hookway.
After the Inauguration of Hayes, Mr..
Hookway got up petition and had il
numerously signed, many of the
leading business men of Massillon. In
due time Mr.. Hookway submitted the
document to Mckinley, knowing we'll il
must receive his endorsement to be
needed or acted upon at Washington. Mr..
Hookway soon discovered that McKin-
ley's tone and manner toward him had
changed materially instead Of bland
smiles and Condescending cordiality, he
treated Mr.. HookwaY and his petition
with contempt, asking him, for example,
-"When he (Hookway) had been to
church? And how many christian peo.
pie had signed his petition ?"
Mr.. Hookway was not the man to take
such Insults without resenting, and he
very pertinently remarked; "Mr. Nc
Kinley, you said nothing to me before
your election of wanting the votes of
Christian people only"
Mr.. Mckinley also remarked that it
would be an insult to the Christian peo-
pie of Massillon to appoint him (Hook-
way) postmaster
To this Mr.. Hookway referred to the
FIVE or six hundred citizens of Massillon
and vicinity who endorsed and recon-
mended his appointment. These Citi-
zens were entitled to respect, and to re.
ceive fair treatment at the hands OF their
representative in Congress that he
(Hookway) bad thought Mr.. Mckinley
a gentleman, and man of too much
sense to insult, in this way, so many good
and worthy citizens of Massillon and vi
Cinity. He was sorry he was mistaken
in his estimate, and he feared Mr.. Nc
Kinley was not yet out of his political
babyhood.
Of course HookwaY was not appointed.
