DEFRAUDING FEssLER.
An Editors Explanation Of the Lenlency Mani
ifested Toward Him,


Mr.. Thomas Saxton, of the Canton Re-
postory, who is spending couple of
days at the Weddell House. was last ev-
ening asked to express his opinion on
the lenient feeling manifested in Stark
county toward tie defauting treasurer:
Everybody in Canton looks on Fess-
Ter as honest" he said. "0ver one half
of the residents of Stark county would
sign petition to have him pardoned,
and these petitioners would be irrespeCt-
i've of party. He has a great many
friends among the Republicans"
"But Fessler is a great defaulter, is he
notP"
81 don't blame him for the deficiency.
He wasn't competent to run the Treas
urer's Office, and the Democrats knew it
when they elected him, just as they
know it now, The Democrats are to
blame for his trouble, and for the def.
cheney, because they elevated him to the
Treasury trust. Fessler has been for a
year nearly insane on the subject of his
difficulties. He hasn't been himself for
year past He didn't know and he
doesn't know to-day how much short he
is in his Treasury accounts, or how much
money he has spent"
"Do you regard his assistants about the
Office, or his advisors, to blame?"
"The only person he has ever spoken
of in connection with the defalCation, 80
far as know, don't amount to much.
Fessler was an ass if he ever listened to
him, and really this party couldn't have
done anything"
"You think there was some one be-
sides Fessler to blame?"
Eyes"
"Why are not some means taken to
bring about punishment of this person
or personsP"
"We don't know who they are?"
why don't the papers and people of
Stark county 60 to work to find out2"
"Fessler wouldn't tell. He was taken
before the grand jury and efforts made to
get him to talk, but he wouldn't say any
thing. II he is pardoned he may talk
He is pretty well broken down."
ut seems very singular that no one can
be adequately punished for the defcien-
cY; and that Fessler's alleged accomplices
or The persons who committed the crime
with which Fessler is charged cannot be
brought to justiCeP"
"Yes, sir; it is 80. But the Stark Coun-
ty Commissioners will not do anything,
80 there is where the matter stands. l
regard Fessler az the sCape-goat of the
Democracy, and consider that the party
should be punished for the defalCation
on account of having put such man in
Office. ."-CleUe. Herald, 22d.

he lives. The late Admiral laid the be-
ginning of his fortune in 1842 when the
government gave him leave of absence
to accept an invitation from the Gar of
Russia to organize his navy. The or
ganizer came home with costly presents
and cash. Besides, he was continuously
in the service of his country for sixty
years.

the commissioners will not do any.

do, or what he would have them do.
"The Democrats knew Fessler's dehcien-

to Thomas. He is a wise man who

Mr.. Saxton is quite favorable to par

ROBERT SCHILLING, in his Cleveland
Aduance, is exposing Mr.. Shove, the late
National Greenback candidate for Con-

with being any thing but nice man, rob

chusetts for whom he was travelling, and
collecting, and running away with an
other woman than his wife. A letter is
given from his poor abandoned wife
with one child in Massachusetts. 1t

The Cleveland Herald thinks it looks
a little singular that its Republican CO.
worker, the Canton Repository, should
join in recommending the pardon of
Fessler, the Stark county treasury rob.
Der, who has been sentenced to twelve
years in the Penitentiary by a Demo-
cratic Judge. Not singular at all when
you come to know that Fessler robbed
the treasury to loan the money to his
Republican friends. Gin. Enquirer.

IT looks little singular up this way
that the Canton Repository should join
with the Democratic friends of Fessler,
Stark county treasury robber, in recon-
mending his pardon. When a poor fell

dollars out of the till to keep his family
from starving, he is buried off to the
penitentiary and nobody asks for his par.
don, but when politician grabs thou
sands of dollars of the peoples money,
slips off to Canada and gets caught and
convicted, it is thought a terrible injus-
tice to treat him like common felon.
The greater the robbery the greater the
sympathy for the robber, it would
seem.-CleUe. Herald, 2lst.
