THE SHERMAN POLICY.

Hon. John Hutchins, an old Abolition
list, who represented in Congress the
Trumbull (ohio) District from 1850 to
1868, takes occasion, while denying any
intention to permit the use of his name
for any official position, to say:
81 have no sympathy with the influ~
ences which controlled the Republican
party since the close of the war and the
destruction ofnegro slavery. Up to that
time the guiding star of my political life
was opposition to American slavery and
its baleful influences. Since then other
questions have come up for solution.
am opposed to the financial policy of the
Republican party, which has been, in
my judgment, NAqOiSe and cyNSlly unjust
to the debtor and active business classes.
Since the second election of General
Grant have voted in National and State
elections with the Democrats. My vote
in the future will depend upon events
probably not under my individual con-
troll.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN HUTcHINS."

THE FACTIONS IN THE REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY.

There is apparently an interesting
hitch in the contest between tbe factions
in the Republican party. The lines
have been pretty distinctly drawn for
some time between the eminent leaders
or quasi-leaders, yet complications are 30
great that it is difficult to tell who the
faithful followers are, or who they are to
be. Each wants to hold the party for his
own uses, yet each contem plates an
emergency by which, uncertain Of his
cohorts, he may find it necessary to en-
brace the other, and declare his sincere
purpose to do and die for him This sit
uation has its interesting phases in con-
nection with the distribution of the pat
ronage that trickles down from Wash
ington, and is 80 eagerly sought by hun.
cry ofice-seekers. Mr.. Hayes has evil
IDENTITY his convictions, and there are as
sertions Of his for which he has sense
of personal responsibility. These facts
as to his position are keeping the faith
full respecters of the interests of the par.

of the work is greatly increased by the
continued appearance of mastery in

1t would seem to the unsympathetic
observer of the war, as though the Presi-
dent had his opportunity in disappoint-
ing those whose claims and bids cause
bitterness among the partisans or fac.
tions. If it is incumbent upon him, in
view of the demands of the public SER
vice. to make new appointments, he Ger.
tainly has perfect justification in making
his appointments with reference to the
discontinue of the contesting wings of
the Republican party, and in adhering
to the medal line where the nerves of
the party, after all, do actually center

"HEREIINa scribblers" are well enough
when governed and controlled by an os.
tensible head, with some brain qualities
manifesting good sense. When mere
"hirelings," however, unannounced, and
unworthy Of announcement, control the
columns of a newspaper, such a journal
is apt to become ridiculous and lose all
character and influence. The "hireling
sCribblers" in such case are apt to be-
come mere scavergers, and assume an
equality and familiarity that only begets
that contempt that sinks the standing of
the paper. These "hirelings," it must be
remembered, are wholly irresponsible,
and have not even a reputation at stake,
so far as the public are concerned.

REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.
American citizens too often forgetthe
fundamental principles Of our system OF
government. Here the People is the
power, and our government is formed
by the People, for the people, The pre-
amble Of the Constitution of the United
States is-"WE, THE PEOPLE Of the Uni
ted States, in order to form more per-
feet Union, establish Justice, insure do
mestic tranquility, provide for the COM
mon defense, promote the general well
fare, and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain
and establish this Constitution of the
United States of America"
All the functions of government are
carried on by agents or Representatives
of the, people. Laws are thus enacted,
public duties are performed, all public
affairs thus managed, by individuals
chosen for brief tine only.
1t often happens that Representatives,
once installed in position, forget the
power that made them, and utterly dis
regard the will Of their too Confding con-
stituents. The true and faithful Repre-
sentative, whether in the City Council,
in the State Legislature or in Congress,
will endeavor to reflect and carry out the
will of the people he was chosen to rep
resent. 1t must follow, too, that these
people, whose agent he is, have right
to know how he discharges that duty. No
true American citizen will hesitate to
make public his official action, The
safety Of the people may require it, and
the Peoples safety is the supreme law
and the object of government.
Senators of the United States and of
the State, in confirming appointments
vote, not by ballot, but answer as their
names are called, of all which record is
kept Why, then, should City Council
confirm appointments by secret ballot2
Why not be open and above board, that
the citizens may know and Judge? Why
dodge in this way serious responsible
ity2
One Of the members of our City Coun-
Gil, when interrogated as to his vote on
the Hartford Trustees, refused to tell,
and thought it was nobody's business.
The voters of the Third ward, if they
had a chance, would show that they were
greatly miSrepresented by this member
in this matter.
Why, for instance, did not Mr.. Monnot
have Mr. Walser voted ON first rather
than Mr.. Schlebach Was it because
Walser was a Democrat and good bust
ness MANI Weaver and Krause, neither
a Democrat, were chosen before coming
to Mr.. Monnots two candidates, and |
there was only room for one more. Mr..
Monnot's great influence in the Council |
goth first choice, a Republican, through.
Does any one think the Third ward
would have so voted? Not we. A Coun-
Gil composed wholly of DR.. Arters could |
not have acted in a more lovely Repub-
lican way in choosing the Hartford Trus-
tees. Indeed a sensible Republican
Council would have chosen more repre-.
sentative men, and possibly put ON one
Democrat, They could not have acted |
in more contemplate way. Weaver's
electioneering for himself was quite sue
,essful, and Mr.. Monnot helped the
maneuvre.

The preachers who take for their text
"75Ueed," rarely state that the Republican
Legislature of New York gave Tweed
and his ring all the legislation they want
ed, to enable them to do their stealing.
But for that Infamous Legislature, Tweed
& Co., never could have done what they
did. In such cases let the whole truth
be told. The trouble is, the clergymen
who indulge in "Tweed" harangues, in
"interior countless" rarely rise beyond
the ordinary rut of partisan politics, sell
dom aim to soar to the elevated plateau
of principle, like "Him who spake as
never man spake," These gentlemen
never take for text, "0akes Ames or
Credit Mobilier;;" "the Grant Admins
tration, and Belknap and Robeson )"
"De Gollyer pavement swindle and Gar.
field" etc. These gentlemen do not care
to hold up to the gaze of their docie
hearers the chalice, thus, of even handed
justice. Neither do they tell, generally,
the whole unvarnished truth.

Democrats hereaway want no sham
work, but straightforward honest busi'
ness. We want reform In the direction
Of cutting down expenditures, And any
Democratic official who feels aggrieved
thereby had better resign, and stop not
on the order Of his going. OF course the
Republicans oppose all reform measures,
and we notice there are, at least In the
Senate of the State, Q few Democrats Of
a milk-and-water character, who voted
with the Republicans last week to appro.
pirate some 100000 for militia purposes,
We hope this plunder scheme will gel
its quietrs in the House.
Justice also requires redistricting of
the State. The present arrangement Of
the Congressional districts is largely in
favor Of the Republicans. For example,
taking the total vote of 1875 as a basis,
we find that in Ohio 33O698 votes were
cast for Republican members Of Congress,
while 323.182 were cast for Democratic
members. Owing to the iniquity of the
radical gerrymander, the $50 69S Repub
lican votes returned fourteen Republican
members of Congress, while the 1923 1872
Democratic votes returned only six DEM
ocratiC members. That is to say, the
Radical gerrymander under which Ohio
now lies is 80 arranged that whereas 23
62l Republican votes on an average suf-
fee to elect a Republican Congressman
in Ohio, it takes 59.86S Democratic votes
on an average to elect Democratic Con-
gresham.
This shows the iniquity, and shows
the necessity of action on the part of our
Legislature. Let justice be done,

The hired scribblers ask-"If Mr.. Til
den was elected President, why was he
not inaugurated?"
A very proper question for the hire
lings to ask. But let us enquire when
Mr.. Hayes knew that Florida and Louis
lana chose the Tilden electors, but by
theft and perjury the Hayes electors
we're given the certi6cates-why did he
not, as an honest man, say, will not re-
ceive the stolen goods, for the receiver is
as bad as the thief
The hirelings approve the fraud, it
seems.

SENATOR GORDON, Of Georgia, made an
able speech in the U. s. Senate on Mon
day, in favor ofthe repeal of the Resump-
ton act. He attributes our financial diff
ficulties to the evil policy of the Repub-
lican party; that the policy of sudden
contraction had been the deep dam
nation that had brought loss and ruin to
our energies and enterprises. He did
not believe Secretary Sherman could re-
sume specie payments without Bringing
great distress upon the country.

it, that the resolution was lost inasmuch

The Republican leaders are fearful the
Legislature of this State will reorganize
the Congressional districts, so as to give
Democrats fair show. 1t would be sad
to disappoint Congressman Mckinley as
to his return. But in fact the People in
the present district might disappoint the
gentleman. In this district is not a fixed
Mckinley majority.

THE NATIONALS AND REPUBLI-
CANS BARGAINING IN ILLINOIS.

If the story of a mammoth political
trade being arranged in Illinois is true,
the Republicans must be badly frighten.
ed at the progress of the Nationals, and
the Nationals must have less virtue and
principle than new parties usually pos
sess. According to the report the pro-
gramme is for the Republicans to nomi-
nate State ticket, which the Nationals
are to support, and of course, insure its
election. In return for this the Nation
ais are to name the candidates for the
Legislature in all the strongly Democratic
or doubtful districts, the doubtful dist.
riots to be named by the Republican com.
mittee. The Nationals are then to name
the United States Senator, and there is
to be fair division of the legislative Of
fees between the two branches of the
combination Cleveland Herald.
This scheme shows not only alarm,
but that the National leaders are good
enough Republicans yet. OF course they
expect to hand over, by this barter, all
the Democrats who have joined them
that is if the latter are simple enough to
be sold so cheap by their leader trick
sters. We shall see.

IT is believed that the long delay in
coming to conclusions is a fair guaranty
that there will be no war between Eng

and they have commenced to argue

REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAMS.

Luccoch, the Republican member from
Guernsey county, on April 10Th, brought
before the House bill to incorporate the
notorious McConnellsville ordinance into
the municipal code. The bill was de-
feated, the vote stood 45 to 80. Among
the thirty members who voted for this
temperance measure, our reporter, by
mistake, named Mr.. Williams, Of Stark,
whereas it ought to have been the Re-
publican Williamson, Of Huron. Mr..
Williams, of Stark, is Democrat, and at
the time was in committee business, alb
sent from the House, He told us that if
he had been present he should have vo'
ted against the bill, and such vote he
had subsequently recorded. We have
now before us a copy of the vote certi-
fed to by the clerk Of the House, and
make the above correction with pleas
ure. We are sorry that through mis-
take Mr.. Williams has been wronged.-
