MIR. Hayes the Innocent.

Mr.. Hayes has one more friend from
whom he might well have prayed to be
saved. This friends name is Charles
Grosvenor. and like most people nova
days, he rejoices in the title of General.
Gen. Grosvenor has been talking The
habit of free speech is very bad habit
for conspirators. 1t is not adapted to
their line of business.
Mr.. Hayes thus far has succeeded pret-
ty well in playing the part of a stupid
innocent, who was the unconscious bene
fciary of fraudulent schemes. The state
ment of his friend and CO operator in the
schemes for counting him in places him
in quite different light.
Gen. Grosvenor is the man who, in the
absence of Gov. Young opened the long
telegram from BoWles Baker, which has
now become somewhat famous. Gen
Grosvenor shows by his statement thai
he was in constant communication with
Mr.. Hayes, and that there was free in
terchange of sen timent between them ir
reference to communications received
and communications to be sent. He an
swered the Bowles Baker telegram, h,
says, "6y instructions"
Then, as to the kilograms sent ou
about certain important article which
uau dpp9dF9u III Juo OHlO oldlo u UOuFudl
and which was at the time supposed tt
express the sentiments of Mr.. Hayes
Gen. Grosvernor says that as Gov. Young
and himself "arose to leave Gov. Haye
followed US to the door, and told us t.
put our kilograms in our own language
and TO write what we pleased, as he be
lieved he could trust to our judgment il
| the matter"
Thus we see how directly Hayes was
party to what was said and done by hi
Immediate friends Who can doubt tha
John Sherman told the truth when b
said he felt authorized by Hayes to max
the propositions and promises contained
in his letter to Anderson If Haye
trusted Grosvenor in this manner did h
trust Sherman less ?
By degrees it is coming out from Haye'
own friends that he was, with them, par
and parcel of the conspiracy by which h
was counted inn. Y. Sun.

The remarks of the Hayes butternuts
about the examination of Gen. CD Boyn-
ton by Gen. Butler are exceedingly rich.
The alert Boynton is said to have used
Butler up badly. Then, when poor But
Ter was squirming under his terrible de-
feat, the terrible Boynton arose in all his
might, and called Butler "rowdy."-
That, of itself, was enough to have settled
the whole Louisiana muddle. Thhe very
idea of Butler, 'rowdy" being vested
with power to "bully-rag" such men as
Boynton, and Anderson, and other gen
tleman of undoubted veracity, is enough
to make the whole system of investiga-
tion contemplate.
There is one point, however, in the ex-
animation of Boynton, that the Hayes
butternuts do not dwell upon. Boynton
testified that the President said to him,
in conversation, that he (the President)
recommended the appointment Of Ander-
son. on account of services rendered the
party. This declaration, by the great
Civil Service Reformer is rich in the ex-
treme. And especially is it rich when
taken in connection with the declaration
of Boynton, before the Committee, that
he would not answer anything which
could cast any reflection upon President
Hayes.

VICTORY! !

The Republican convention last Satur-
day was the largest, finest, and most or
derly convention ever held in Jackson
county. 1t was entirely harmonious
The ticket is one of the best ever placed
before the people of the county.
James B. Paine, candidate for Repre-
sentative, was raised on his fathers farm,
near Hamden, but in sight of the jack
son county line. He was brought up a
farmer, but he is now practicing law
He is man far above the average for
natural ability. is one of the finest schol-
ars in the county, a man of pure life and
unimpeachable moral character He is
an old-fashioned, genuine Republican,
and thorough Christian gentleman.
1t is superfuous to speak of Judge
Evans Every body knows and respects
him. No man, of either party, has a
word to say against him, and this after
the people have tried him nine years for
Judge.
VIM. H. Horton, present Clerk, is also
we'll known. He is live, active young
man, and is a frst-class clerk.
Every body knows and likes Charley
Atkinson, present Prosecuting Attorney.
He is a competent, faithful officer
Pleasant Springer candidate for Coun-
ty Commissioner, is not SO well known
over the county as many others, although
he was raised in this county, He has
always resided near the north side of the
county, in Jackson township. We have
known him from his youth up, and can
testify that he is young man of excel
lent character, and fine business talent
The great interests of the county will be
entirely safe under the control of Mr.
Springer.
VIM. B. Cherington, candidate fol
Sheriff, is live, active man, and will
make good Sheriff. He is pretty well
known in the county. He has been en-
gagged in the Jackson Foundry ever since
he has resided in Jackson He is a.
present a member of the Council O
Jackson. He is man Of pure mora
character.
Peter Bum, present lnfrmary Direc
tor, is one of the solid farmers of jackson
county, and resides near the 1nfrmary
| The excellent manner in which the In
frmary has been conducted since its or
ganization, is due in great measure t.
the supervision of Mr.. Bum.
| G.. L. Monahan, candidate for Coroner
is the youngest brother of the late DR.. A
B. Monahan Loss" is practicing medi
cine in Wellston. All his brothers ex
cept A. B., were Democrats, but Loss
was Republican from the beginning
and volunteered in the Union army whel
a mere boy. He is competent, suitabl
man for the Office.

The Republicans of Illinois held their
State Convention last week, and adopted
the following ringing resolutions:
"The delegated representatives of the
Republican party of Illinois, in conven-
ton assembled, hereby declare our un-
faltering faith in the principles and pat
riotism of the Republican party, State
and National, and in its permanent fit
ness ability over all other parties to ad-
minister the government of both State
and Nation, wisely and successfully; that
the Democratic party being largely COM
posed of recent rebels, and their sympa-
thzers can not be safely intrusted with
the administration of the affairs Of the
Government; that the partial success of
the party in Congress, as in several of
the States. only shows its grossly partisan
character and general incapacity, and
lack of honor and patriotism.
For the financial system created by
the Republican party during the war,
and in spite of the violent opposition of
the Democratic party, we express our un-
qualified admiration. By its provisions
the people have been supplied with a
larger amount of paper currency, safer
and more uniform in value than they
have ever before enjoyed. The credit of
UQ0 NdtlOu las SGtduIly IIlpEOfeu, WHll6
both the principal and interest of the
public debt, as well as the burden of Ma
tional taxation, have been steadily di-
minished Such results can only be pro-
duced by honesty, economy, and wisdom
in the management of public affairs
I'VE are opposed to any further con-
traction of greenback currency, and are
in favor of such currency as can be main
tanned at par with, and convertible into,
coin at the will of the holder. We favor
such currency being received for import
duties, and deprecate the defeat of the
recent bill for that purpose by the Demo
cratic House of Representatives. The
permanent pacfcation of the Southern
section of the Union, and complete pro
lection of all its citizens in all their civil,
political, personal, and property rights,
is duty to which the party stands sa-
credly pledged. In order to redeem this
pledge it placed the recent amendments
in the Constitution of the United States,
and upon the righteous base of said
amendments it will go forward in the
work of paciication until peace shall
come through right doing and content
ment through justice.
THAT the criminal code shall be
amended for the protection of depositors
in savings banks, by providing for the
punishment of dishonest bank managers.
"And finally be it resolved, that those
who preserved the country should govern
it instead of those who attempted to de-
stroy it"

What on earth does the indianapolis
Journal mean by wasting columns to
prove that Dan Voorhees, sympathized
with the South during the late war;
Aren't these the days of pacifcation Is
there not an out and out rebel in the
Cabinet? And is not Voorhees, "Greek?"
The inconsistency of supporting Hayes
policy, and giving up whole editorial
page to prove Dan Voorhees, Confeder-
ate sympathizer, is fairly amusing
Cincinnati Times.
1t does seem SO strange to US that pa
pers will urge frantically that the Repub-
licans should vote the ticket, and then
declare that we must all endorse Hayes
and his policies, when the whole political
work of Hayes since he has been in Office,
has looked solely to the destruction of
the Republican party. If it is proper to
put rebels in the Cabinet, and in all 9TH
er places controlled by the President,
why not put them into Congress. and

to the aforesaid good people, and un,
necessarily enraged the feelings Of the
gentlemen engaged in the lucrative busi-
ness Of making contraband whisky. In
furtherance of the universal peace and
reconciliation policy, the President ac-
ceded to these views. and allowed Col.
Fitzsimmons to conduct the business OF
his Office in his own way. Unfortunately,
| the result has not been altogether salts
factory one. The fearless Democratic
Deputy Marshal, who was to arrest and
bring in from the mountains a dozen
illicit distillers, has yet to be heard FROM
and the trade in 'sand-hill fire-water" is
today more lively than it has been since
the war. Nay, more than this: the man
ufacturers, Democrats though they be,
seem to have very much less considera-
ton for the new Deputies than they had
for "the Yankee soldiers" who used to
aid the old Marshal. Within the past
few weeks several of Col. Fitzsimmons'
men have been shot down while in the
discharge of their duty, and the break
ing into county jails and the rescue of
prisoners charged with illicit distilling G
| has become very common occurrence.
All this is doubtless quite unpleasant to
| Col. Fitzsimmons, but so long as "the
good people" of Georgia are satisfied,
perhaps he will not complain.

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Two years ago, Secretary Bristow got
over one hundred men to swear that they
were whisky thieves, and then they swore
lot of men into the Penitentiary. The
Cincinnati Gazette, and all the Bristow
organs, declared that these confessed
thieves were saints, and that Bristow was
the only living honest man. Recently
Anderson testified that Matthews and
Hayes are scoundrels, and he produced
the letters of Matthews, which corrobor-
ated him fully. Now the Bristow-Ha ayes
organs say that Anderson cannot be be-
lieved in any thing Next comes Msr
jerks and swears that she promised to
deliver a letter to John Sherman, but
that she opened it, read it. and forged an
answer, and forged Shermans name to
it. Sherman's previous conduct is con-
elusive that this woman lies. Although
she is thus contradicted, and swears that
she is liar and forger, yet the Hayes
Bristow organs throw up their hats and
shout, what wonderful smart truthful
woman"

"Mr Sherman persists in refusing to let
the Louisiana Commissioners pay their
own bills, and says he will get the appro-
priation out of the next Congress. One
would naturally presume that it was the
business of Mr.. Sherman to accept the
judgment of the Senate that the sending
of the Commission was unwarranted by
law, and that its expense ought not to be
borne by the Government. 1t is not to
the Secretary's credit that he should ex-
hibit himself as defying the law-making
power. IF he does not desire the Com
missioners to pay their own way, it would
be better for him to pay it himself, and
say nothing more about it.-[Cin. Times.
Let Sherman alone, and let him keep
this Commission before the people. He
will be sick of it before Gen. Butler gets
through with the investigation. If there
does not come out of the investigation of
this Commission abundant evidence sue
cessfully to impeach Hayes, we are mis-

RANDOM THOUGHTS
BY THE EDITOR.

Some years ago 1 spoke about a Grip
pied man named James Carnes, who was
one of our neighbors when I was boy.
His lower limbs, from his hips down,
were paralyzed and withered. He crawl
ed upon his hands, and drew his legs
upon the ground. l have seen him sit
upon low stool and chop down great
oak trees at the furnace, then put his
stool near the log and cut it up into cord
wood. He bought so acres of land below
Portland, where John Thomas now re-
sides. Mr.. Carnes removed to the Greasy
years ago, and died there, leaving his
family in comfortable circumstances.
I have often spoken of my only broth
er, who did not walk for more than fifty
years. He was crippled with rheuma-
tism, and his lower limbs were withered
and helpless. He suffered untold pain
and misery for years, through all of
which he manifested patience and he
roism that was sublime. He went to
stchool only nine days, but he was one
of the finest scholars l ever knew, being
very thorough in all the common branch
es, and we'll versed in Botany, Chemistry,
Geology, Natural Philosophy, &c. When
he died he owed no man, and he had
some property.
By calling attention to these triumphs
over circumstances, I desire to make an
application to the present political situa-
ton, and the necessity for. those who re-
gard principle above expediency, TO make
the heroic effort to succeed that those
men did over their bodily infrmities
In the year 1872 the Republican party
had more deadly load than rheumatism
and paralysis to carry. There were
Greeley, and Schurz. and Cox, and Mat
thews, and Evarts, and the Cincinnati
Commercial; but the grand old party
arose superior to circumstances, and de.
fed open, manly rebel and copperhead
foes without, and sneaking, cowardly
traitors within, and achieved triumph
unknown in the history of parties
Now the same game is attempted. The
party has to carry the same old tribe o1
traitors, together with Hayes, and cleai
up to Richard Smith and c. H. Gros
venor.
When the lower limbs of mans body
become helpless, the extra use of the
arms and muscles of the chest, rendered
necessary by the loss Of the others causes
an additional amount of strength equa
to the loss, and often entirely overcom
ing it. Just so let the loss of the pre-
tended friends of the party of principle
strengthen those who are true, and the
loss will be more than overcome.
What would you have thought hac
those afflicted men of whom have spok
ken, been overcome by despair? Wher
their limbs became not only useless, bu
burden to them, would it have beer
wisdom for them to cease doing their ut
most to overcome their loss by a vigor
ouse use of their still stout arms, vigor
Gus bodies and clear brains?
Then let the true men of the grand ole
Republican party arouse as they did in
1872, and, instead of dragging the paral
yzed, putrid carcasses in the party, cut
loose, and rush on to victory.

A gentleman living near Greenfield,
Ohio, bought selfbinding reaping ma
chine. One day last week he left it in a
field, some distance from the house. He
awoke in the night, and discovered his
new reaper in flames. 1t was set on fire.
Of course, the burning, of the reaper had
the desired result This farmer, who
had just lost $500, doubtless collected up
all the tramps and loafers in that section
and gave them easy work, at high wages

The time for holding the Republican
convention for this district has not been
fixed. Let us have an early convention,
held at Waverly or Piketon, and let us
nominate strong man, and he can be
elected. Some time ago we said that 81.
S. Neal. Judge Harper, James Trip or
Milton L. Clark, could be elected. The
opinion is fast gaining ground that TAX

The notorious Eph. Holland, who en-
gineered gangs of repeaters, in Cincin
natl, during the election in 1876, and
who was sentenced to the Penitentiary
for stufing ballot-boxes, has been par
doned by President Hayes, and was elect
ed by the Democrats, as delegate tc
their State Convention. The Convention
declared his seat vacant. Thus the De

Gov Noyes testified before the Potter
committee last week. We believe he is
the only witness yet examined, male or
female. that made any pretense of telling

he was an honest man, and any one who

the conclusion thathe was honestly tell

1t seems that in Louisiana sworn testl-
mony is reduced to a science. Those
Louisiana witnesses can testify with equal
readiness and cheek on either side of a
case. Their object appears to be to please
the attorneys, and at the end of cross
examination, they will have convinced
you that they lied like sin on the direct
examination, or they lied upon the cross
examination thus leaving a case just
where it would have been without their
testimony at all. A Louisiana witness is
certainly poor investment.
