THE Cleveland Herald writes long lead.
ers, claiming that "aIl differences be.
tween the Republican leaders and the
Administration have been removed, and
the party is once more united" Judg-
ing by the sweet controversy going on
between the Herald and Leader, family
jars still exist, and in the same paper,
the 9th, we quote the following, in their
Washington special:
SILL UNHAPPY VIM. E. Chandler is
in town, and is not converted to the Ad.
ministration by the message. He says
there is danger of Hayes OVERRIDING the
thing, as the old woman said of the
preacher, who prayed for rain in a
drought, until there came pour down
which drowned out her cabbages.

TIN Repository all last summer claimed
that the real cause Of the defalcation In
the Treasury was owing TO bad bookkeep'
inc in the Auditors Office; and hence
that journal censured A. McGregor for
not assisting to examine the books, inti'
mating qlite strongly that there were
special corrupt reasons for declining.
All this has been abandoned by the
Repository gang since the examination
was made by Judge Raft, Jas. TOnner and
Eso'r Grimes. In Mr.. Tom saxton's in
terview at Cleveland, as given in the
He,ald, and copied in the DEMOCRAT OF
last week, he hinged the whole blame,
in general terms, upon the Democrats,
for eleCting Fessler, saying we knew
him as we'll before his election as now.
All this is so ridiculous that it negatives
itself. How could Democrats conceive
that Fessler would give himself away as
he did, that he would allow himself to
be controlled and led by the nose as he
wasP We are surprised that even Tom
with all his envy and malevolencei
should be so silly as to talk in this way
A half educated gander ought to know
better. Is it possible Tom, too, is join
ing the army of imbeciles?
In the Repository of Saturday was an
article which said; "Mr. Saxton, in his
"Cleveand Herald interview, only re-
Effected the popular sentiment OF the
'people of Stark county, when he repre-
scented Fessler as more sinned agalns
than SHINING, and located the RESPONSE
"bility of the defauting treasurer's mis-
fortune Just where it belongs, and at
"tributed it to the true cause, the inhu'
"ence of evil surroundings in his own
party"
The Repository, Of course, will not ad'
NIT that Fessler had any "evil" Repub
lican surroundings" What innocentt
these Republicans arel 1t does, how
ever, admit that mo Democrat eUsr Dor
rOwed ten thousand dollars Of Stark county
money!" thus as much as acknowledging
that Republicans have; and the Reposi
torv does not deny this fact. This single
admission shows where Fessler's levi
surroundings" mostly came from.
The Repository in it's article last Satur
day, says: "The Democratic method o
'epioying the pablic bounty was tt
"sponge on the mistaken generosity o
"their plastic dupe." When Republi
cans could borrow from Fessler ten thou
sand dollars at a time, and Democrat
could not, it is easily seen whose "plasti
dupe" he was.
The Repository, we conclude, design
to harp on and swing this Fessler bust
ness into next falls campaign, so as tt
help their waning fortunes in starl
county, Well, all we can say is, we shal
try and be along.

Mr.. HAYES has strong case before
him in the application for the pardon
and release Of Chicago distillers, who
swindled the revenue. They are in the
hands of the law. The Illinois Repub-
lican Convention favorH it, 80 does VIM.
Henry Smith, Collector Of Chicago, etc,
as we'll as other prominent Republicans.
The Chicago Tribune, good civil service
reform and Republican authority. states
the case thus
"Not lcng before the election some OF
the 'second batch" men (distillers) went
to prominent Republican politicians and
promised to assist them TO the utmost OF
their ability, by personal influence and
q small monetary contribution in the
pending election, for the purpose of free
ing Cook county from Democratic con-
troll. The only recognition of that ser.
vice which they asked for was united
effort on the part of the Republican
Congressman and Republican politicians
to secure the remission of penalties"
This proposition seems to have been
accepted, and the distillers planked
down $500 a piece to defeat the Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Hayes is now asked to con-
summate the bargain by releasing the
distillers from the penalties hanging
over them for defrauding the revenue.
All this is on Republican authority, and
the best case possible is probably made
out.
This indicates what has been claimed,
that the frauds upon the revenue for
years have been winked atby Republican
leaders, to benefit the party, and con-
tribute to the success of the party.

WARDEN MCWHoRTER and his deputy,
Quinn, of the Penitentiary, have had
bad blood between them for some time,
and have been making things disagreea-
BILE to the Directors, who last week re-
quested their designations after hearing
of their respective cases. Each accused
the other of being drunk and doing
other naughty things. Mr.. Heller, the
superintendent of the State shops, was
also required to resign. We hope a bet
ter state Of things will grow out of this
action of the Directors.

supposed to have pocketed the wholesum.

LIFE CONVICT IN THE PENIrEN-
TIARY.
The Columbus correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, under date Of the
9th, gives the following concerning the
PARDON on JANIS LA FEVER,
Gov. Bishop to-day issued pardon to
james La Fever, sentenced from Marion
county, to imprisonment for life in the
Penltentiary, for murder in the second
degree. The reasons assigned by the
Governor, in an official memorandum on
the papers, are that the pardon was ask
ed for by one of the largest and most re-.
spectacle petitions eyer presented in any
case, over 900 names, and by numerous
private letters from the edi tors and prin'
Cipal men of the county, among them
quote one from Henry P. Morey, which
aays: ~ desire to add, that the charge
of the Court to the jury, to the effect
that the defendant was bound to retreat
as far as he could, and to the arms of his
friends for safety, was not, in my opin-
ion, sound law, but was subversive of the
well settled maxim that "His house
is his castle, and that he has a right
defend it at all hazards. In my
experience as Attorney General,
and at the bar for period of thirty
years, ] never heard such proposition
made as that contained in said charges.
| am clearly con WINGED that La Fever
was wrongfully convicted, and should re.
ceve no further punishment"
1t also appears from papers that DR..
Hamilton gave the opinion that the evil
denCe given in the case did not establish
with that clearness which is necessary to
conviction, that the blows inflicted
were the cause of death.
Looking over the half bushel papers
in this case, it apperrs to be one of those
homicides that occasionally vex the ju-
risprudence of the country. La Fever
was convicted in 1874 for the homicide
which all acknowledge was self defense
the attack which provoked the homicide
being made by drunken man while La
Fever was engaged as a blacksmith at
his own anvil. Proceedings for pardon
were begun early and pushed through
three administrations, and into a fourth
as appears by an Endorsement on the pa.
! pers as follows:
II think this man ought to be pardon
ed after two years imprisonment"

ONE hundred and two societies, twen-
ty.eight newspapers and eighty eight
books and pamphlets have been prohib-
tied in Germany since the promulgation
of the anti Socialist law. In Northern
Germany there is but one journal Of
Socialist procliyities left, in Central and
Southern Germany there still remain
eleven. All these have changed their
names since the new law, and try to con-
ceal their bias.

CHARLEY FOSTER is likely to be the Re.
publican candidate for Governor of Ohio
We are quite willing to give this mount
ebank turn. He was one of the sher.
man tools to smoothe the way for Hayes
with the South. He was an instrument
of fraud, and has proved a treacherous
friend. He is chiefly noted for his mer-
camille character, which qualities will
not avail him as State candidate. TrOt

REpUBL1cAN papers declare we shall
"scon see specie resumption take place,

Those journals do not explain this Sher-

names but one place in the United States
for redeeming greenbacks, and that the
sub.treasury in New York city; do not
state that the National banks are not re-
ouired to resume in specie. This serves
to show up the sham it is.

If Major Mckinley makes a tariff
speech this session, we hope he will de-
monstrate, to the satisfaction Of the
workingmen of Canton, that tariff tax of
81 ton on pig iron is much better than
one of S5 a ton, as proposed by Fer
nando Woods tariff bill of last session.
Let the Major give at least one fact-just
one. Also, he might state that the five
dollar tax was recommended by leading
iron men, Republicans, of Pittsburgh.
