General Shields, the patriotic old vete-
ran, who. has served his country so faith
fully upon. the battlefield, and who was
the subject of SO much duplicity and
meanness from the Republicans in Con-
gress last session, is prominently spoken
of for the United States Senate from Mis-
sonri to succeed Senator Armstrong
Such selection from Missouri would be
gratifying to the people of the whole
country.

Senator Butler, of this State, expressed
the opinion in Washington few days
ago that both Smalls and Rainey would
be defeated for Congress in this State,
and that solid Democratic delegation
would be elected. This can and ought
to be the case, if the Democrats in the
middle and lower counties will stop
quarrelling among themselves and turn
upon the enemies of good government
and the foes of South Carolina. This is
no time for personal differences, and
everything should be merged in the
common effort to save South Carolina
and every county in her from the lomi-
nation of ignorance, corruption and
fraud. Preferences and prejudices ought
to be hushed for the purpose of making
a bold, strong and united fight upon
Radicalism wherever it shows its head in
South Carolina. If this spirit of patri-
otic determination could pervade every
community and secure the cooperation
of all Democrats, the Republicans would
not only fail to secure single Congress
man from South Carolina, but they
would scarcely carry a county in the
State. Our people ought to be united in
this effort for our complete redemption.
1t will be a stain upon the record of any
county that is turned over to Radicalism
on account of dissentions among Demo
Gratis. 1t should not be permitted, and
wherever there are leaders who antagon-
ize the party interests by their personal
conflicts, the people ought sternly to
condemn both parties and call out new
leaders for the coming contest. 1t is
better that individuals should suffer in
justice even, than that anything should
be introduced to weaken or disorganize
the Democratic party In single county.

Ex Governor J. Madison Wells has
announced himself as an Independent
candidate for Congress in the Fourth
Louisiana District. Mr.. Wells must
think the Democrats of that District
devoid of both principle and sense, if he
expects any of them to vote for him
even when he assumes the patriotic role
of an independent ~. Mr.. Wells is too

many heresies of government. If he is
elected, as we hope he will be, time will

The Rev. DR.. Locke, of the first M. E,
church, preached last Sabbath evening
upon the epidemic character of crime,
dilating upon Fessler, and drawing there.
from lesson to the men who vote and
to the men who hold Office. The text
was from Philippians 4th chapter and
Sth verse Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatso-
ever things are just, whatsoever things
are pure, X u 4 think on these
things"
No doubt the reverend gentleman
made some good remarks in connection
with our foolish absconding Treasurer
1t opens wide a field for wholesome com
ment. Indeed we have had, of late
years, an abundance of notable cases of
delinquency in high places, affording to
such public spirited gentlemen as Mr..
Locke, a superhuity of themes. Trum-
bull county has her late Auditor Kenne
dy. Wayne county three years ago had
her treasurer Lehman, who abRconded
with large amount. And then there
is that monster steal of something like
hundred millions, the Credit Mobilier.
And speaking of political crimes, the
most monstrous in character of all, is
FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT. The in
vestigation now going on by the Potter
committee is developing startling features
and establishing the fraud. In this pa
per will be found an exposure of the
Eliza Pinkston fraud, the champion of
which was John Sherman. We hope
the reverend and learned Doctor will
take up Eliza and comment on her lady
ship, and the knaves and rascals who
used her to justify their counting in Mr..
Hayes, 1t will be seen that Eliza now
says she was not assaulted nor cut to pie
Ces at all-that 1t was all yarn, and yet
John Sherman in the United States Sen.
ate made an affecting speech over poor
Eliza and her terrible suferings. Let
Doctor Locke take up Eliza Pinkston
next, by all means.

is exceedingly anxious o"6x the respon-
sibility" for the robbery Of the people Of
Stark county where it belongs, and says: :
The Democratic party of Stark county
is morally responsible for the theft. II
put Fessler in the Treasurer's Office, al
though the fact was notorious that he
had no qualifications for the position.
He was a poor business man, dissipated
and spendthrift, and his financial af-
fairs were in an embarrassed condition.
A more unfit man for position of great
pecuniary responsibility could scarcely
have been found. He could not take
care Of his own money--he was extrava.
CANT, indulgent, reckless and fast-but
the Stark county Democracy thought
him proper person to put in charge of
the public funds. They nominated and
elected him. What followed was nat
ural and almost inevitable consequence
We wish to correct the Herald where
wrong, and to vindicate truth and the
Democratic party of Stark county. The
"moral responsibility" is in much small
er compass than the Herald states, and
time may develop much that we will not
now state. George Fessler is a weak
man, and a criminal of the worst type,
as we think, and deserves punishment,
which he will be sure to get. 1t is only
a question OF time. But the Herald is in
error in saying that Fessler was "dissi-
pated and a spendthrift, and his fnan-
cial affairs were in an embarrassed con-
dition." II embarrassed, it was not gen.
orally known, and he was not known to
be "fast nor "extravagant." The fact
is, Fessler has been as much a Republi.
can as a Democratic Treasurer, if not
more so and the facts may yet be SUBJ
mitted to prove this.
But, does the Herald hold the Repub-
liCan party of Trumbull county "morally
responsible" for the thieving, forging
Auditor Kennedy So far as known,
Kennedy, by illegal orders on that Coun-
ty Treasury, stole over $27 600, Did the
Herald two years or 80 ago hold the Re.
publican party of Wayne county "mor-
ally responsible" for the 100000 steal of
their county Treasurer Lehman? No
doubt both those men stood we'll in COM
munity before they were elected, as did
George Fessler. Let the Herald ponder
these points. Our case is bad and viii
lainous enough without the Heralds hy-
ena gloating.

THE article from the Enquirer in this
paper, entitled, "Grosvenor and the Mi.
ners," is worthy of perusal, especially by
those miners who cling to the idea that
the Republican party is the especial
friend of the workingman. A little in
vestigation should remove that folly, and
convince them that the party of Justice,
the Democratic party, is the true friend
of workingmen. We allow of nc special
favoritism in our family, claiming equal
rights for all, rich and poor, high and
low.
The miners of this county may remem-
Der the difference between Governor
Allen and Governor Hayes in ordering
out the military. The latter sent the
military in hot haste, without waiting to
see whether the enforcement of law had
been attempted and resisted. Governor
Allen, like prudent statesman, and a
friend of law and order, stood ready to
act promptly whenever resistance to the
enforcement Of law took shape. But
read the Enquirer "Macon" article.

The grand jury of Trumbull county
have found six indictments against ex.
Auditor Kennedy. He got away with
S2727721 so far as heard from. But
Treasurer Fessler can see his blind and
go him $4,000 better, aud all for the
sake of reform. m."-AMance ReUieo.
1t is not supposed George took the
whole deficit along by any means. He
is weak man, and has had bad advis-
ers and evil influences. 1t is weakness
that makes criminals mostly, and Geo.
Fessler is much weaker man than any
one thought. His political friends for
some time have been apprehensive that
he would be short, but no one dreamed
Of his running away with pile. We
cannot believe he kept all his own Sc.
crets and this we fiud to be an opinion
generally entertained by those capable of
judging. The day of development has
not yet begun, and We forbear specula-
ton.

AnderSOn'S Letter Enclosing the Nash Agreement.
The most important evidence elected
on Wednesday was the letter of Ander-
son to Matthews which inclosed the
Nash agreement. Cox submitted it,
doubtless not realizing it's force but 1t is
likely to prove one Of the most import
ant links in the chain that is being forged,
for 1t sheds light on the real mission
which took Anderson to New Orleans
after the Inauguration of Hayes. To un-
derstand the full significance it is neCes-
sary to consider the sequence of faCts.--
After the Inauguration Anderson filed an
application for Office, called on Hayes,
and received q special Endorsement from
Hayes. He then went to Cincinnati,
called on Stanley Matthews, whom he
had never seen before, was told by
Matthews that Commission would be
sent to New Orleans, and this was before
the Commission was announced He
was told to go to New Orleans, where a
letter Of introduction to Judge Harlan,
and had secret conferences. Now, why
did Anderson 60 to MatthewsP Who
told him to? And what did Matthews
tell him to do in Louisiana, or get Har-
Ian to tell him to do? These are ques-
tions Of moment, upon which the letter
sheds light.
The letter recites PaCkard's determin-
alton to force Hayes to sustain him; dis.
closing Packard's plan, to.wit the pro-
duction of affidaVits of three of the Re-
publican Electors that they never voted
for Hayes, and the collection of other
evidence, recites the destruction of one
agreement, and reCites that another, in.
closed, is the last documentary evidence
in existence, In short, it is just such q
letter as an agent would write to his en-
ployer. Hayes knew what Packard was
doing. Matthews knew the commission
was to be sent. Harlan knew what was
wanted. Anderson went warm from
Hayes to Matthews, and warm from
Matthews to Harlan. His letter shows
that his business in New Orleans was to
spy out PaCkard's plans, secure or de-
stroy the evidence against Hayes, which
Packard was after for his own protection,
oAu ONhO hO Wdo w lUOh lOI LIB TOWhTu
through Matthews. Matthews has since
been made Senator; Harlan a Justice Of
the Supreme Court; Packard has been
purchased with the fattest Consulship in
the Presidential gift, and Morris Marks,
one of the three electors who has to
swear he did not vote for Hayes, and who
has figured here recently as procurer of
an interview between Sherman and An
derson, was two days ago appointed Col.
lector Of Internal Revenue at New Or
leans, What other inference from all
these facts is possible except that Hayes
sent Anderson to Matthews; acting as
Hayes's attorney, gave Anderson his
preliminary instructions and sent him to
Louisiana as an agent to defeat Packard;
and that Harlan was the other attorney
on the spot. Representative Mcmahon
sees the force of his letter, and promises
to follow up the scent in the outline
above Indicated Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE Democratic State Convention, in
session to-day, is one of the largest ever
held in the State. At this writing it is
useless, of course, to surmise what will he
their action, as our readers will receive
in another portion of our paper full de.
tails of the proceedings. One thing, how
ever, can be said to account for the ex-
traordinary interest manifested in this
Convention, and that is, the candidates
and Democracy generally are confident
of victory this fall. This confidence is
based on the fact that they consider the
Republican party as fully divided on the
Presidents policy as the party was last
year. The Democrats think the Repub.
lican Convention did good thing when
they endorsed the President at Cincin-
natl, and their hope of success this fall is
based entirely on the theory of divis-
ion in the ranks of the Republican party,
caused by such endorsement. 1t is pos
sible they are building entirely too much
ON such contingency, but still the i'll
advised action of the Republican Con-
vention in endorsing Hayes is RESPONSE.
BILE to a great extent for the spirit Of con-
idence which inspires the Democracy

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON-
VENTION.

The nominee for Secretary Of State is
David r. Paige, of Akron, Summit coun-
ty. Mr.. Paige comes Of an old Democrat
ic family. He is the son of the late Da-
vid R. Paige, of Lake county, who was
recognized for many years as one of the
leaders of the party in the Western Re-
serve. Mr.. Paige is a graduate of I'm
ion College, New York, and is in the
very prime of life. He removed from
Lake to Summit county, where he allied
himself by marriage with one of the
most prominent families, and where
he is now largely engaged in business
Mr.. Paige has twice been elected Treas
urer of Summit county by large major
ity, and is the only Den ocrat who has
ever been elected to Office in the county.
He is a gentleman Of fine presence, ex.
cellent business qualities, and will make
a faithful officer. There could not have
been a better selection for the head of
the ticket.
Judge Alex. F. Hume, of Butler coun.
ty, the nominee for Supreme Judge, is
one of the most efficient Judges of the
Court of Common Pleas in Southern
Ohio. He is a resident of Hamilton,
Butler county, Ohio, and has had large
experience both as practitioner and on
the bench. He is close student, and
has given great satisfaction in his judic-
ial district. Judge Hume will receive
large support in the Miami Valley, where
he is we'll known. 1t is high comrli-
ment to the Judge to say that his deCis.
IONS were never reversed. The conven-
tion selected for the Member of Board
of Public Works, Rush Fields, of Rich.
land Clunty. Mr.. Fields is one of the
most active business men of Mansfield,
and has excellent executive ability. He
is good representative of the young De.
mocracy, and will infuse new life into
the Board.
The Columbus Dispatch says: The
ticket is most excellent one, and the
platform eminently conservative. More
over, the nominees, two of them at least,
are magnificent specimens of manhood
of fine physique, handsome and pol.
ished in manner-and form a ticket to
he proud of. 1t will not be necessary for
Messrs. Paige and Field to do any speak
ing. All that it will be necessary for
them to do, will be to stand up together
before an audience, and they will sweep
everything. Their handsome presence
will convince the feminine portion of
the population, at any rate, of their super
ior fitness for the positions for which
they are candidates, and with the ladies
