appears that some days ago, when

which he denied was his signature. A
day or two ago, before the New Or.

that jerks did sign the paper in his

sherman ON the Gridd,e

Secretary Sherman is very much dis.
turbed at the way the Louisiana end
of the investigation is going. The tes-
timony doesn't appear to suit him.
He expresses classification with the
way his case is managed, aud has re-
quested Shellabarger to go down to
New Orleans and take charge of his
defense. Chairman Potter has for.
warded to Sherman reply to the lat.
ters's request that several hundred
wltnesse ,, whom he names, may be
summoned to prove that there was in.
timidation aud fraud il Louisiana.
Potter reminds Sherman that the prin
cipal " illnesses whom he asks for have
already been summoned, including
Weber, whose testimony has been ta-
ken, and that every other request of
the Secretary has been granted, but
the Committee have not yet decided to
60 into the question Of MIN tdation.
aud he (POtter) does not th:nk 1t ger.
name or necessary. The al.usion to |
Weber's testimony is little rough in |
view of the facts. Weber was sum
mOned at 'Sherman's Instance as his
witness. On his arrival Sherman and
interviewed him, and un-
to coach" him. Finding that
Weber didn't "coach" worth a cent.
md wasn't likely 10 give the Kind of
wanted, they dropped him
md told him he might go home, but
ome of the Committee thought he

TEsRE is no m'ncing matters in the
Ohio Democratic platform on the cur
rency question. 1t denoupces the re-
sumption act which is expressing and
running the people, and demands its
repeal; it declsres in favorof the Gov.
ernIhent issuing a., the currency,
whether coin or paper, and of replace
ing the National Bark notes with
treasury notes aud declares for plac
ing silver coinage on an equality with
that of gold. These measures would
promote the interests and welfare of
the Government end the people. and
they should not be allowed to suffer
defeat by division in the ranks OF
those who favor their adoption.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1878-07-11
Hnrrykng Matters.

The Washington Star of the 9Th inst
says: It is stated on the very best
authority that Secretary Sherman has
decided to, and will announce the re.
sumption of specie payments by the
United States Government on or be.
fore the LIST of September next. The
law requires that resumption shall
take place January lst next. This ac-
ton of the Secretary, If taken, will be
to intercept Congressional legislation
on the subject, which might be OF such
q character as to repeal entirely the
Re sumption Law, or postpone for
some time its being put into force. It
ls further intimated that the Secretery
may announce resumption at as early
date as August 1st next" -
Mr.. Sherman seems to regard DELAYS
as dangerous, and fears that if he does
not commence the work of resumption
before the meeting of Congress next
winter the voice of the people may be
heard and he will not be able to carry
out the wishes of the money lords.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1878-07-11

The Radicsls base their faith in
Sherman's ability to commence re-
sumption at al early day and to main-
tain it, upon the idea that "nObody
would want gold. as greenbacks would
be answerable for all purposes, even
for the. payment of customs dues" Ii
that be true what is the necessity Of
being in such a hurry about forcing
resumption. Shermsn seems deter
mined to give the people what nobody
wants.

STORM AT PIrrsBUxGH.

Sad Accidcmt to a Picnic Party.-A
Tree Falls and Kills Fen and Fa.
| tally Injuries Several Others.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 4.-The day
just passed has been one of the quiet.
est anniversaries ever celebrated in
any description took place. The
weather was intensely warm in the
morning, but about O'Clock a severe
thunder and ram storm struck the city
and considerable damage is reported
in the suburban districts. The Oulv
damage done in the city SO far as
learned was Touring mill on Thirty
Eighth street struck by lightning, and
the mill, together with the stables, were
burned. The heaviest damage done
was up the Allegheny Valley, where
the storm was very severe, the rain
being accompanied by high wind, and
very large hail fell, large as clfestnuts,
and many large trees were uproOtcd.
The line of the Allegheny Valley
Railroad was washed away in several
places and houses OIL the low lands III.
undated. Several heavy washes oc-
Cured on the West PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad, and it is reported that sey-
eral persons were drowned. The wind
upset many houses and laid waste the
fields Of grain.
The most serious accident yet re-
ported occurred ut a German Lutheran
picnic OF Ross Grove, on the West Pa,
Railroad, few miles up the Alleghe-
ny, where large tree fell on q party
who had fled TO it for shelter, instantly
killing ten and seriously injuring tif-
teen some of whom it is feared will
die. The dead and injured were all
from the borough of Sharpsbury.
Lightning struck the Veste Oil |
w orks of Lockhart, Frewd & Co., at |
Negley's Run, and they were entirely |
destroyed. A stable at East Liberty
was struck by lightning and three
lOrses burned.
LATER-Of the fifteen injured at the
foss Grove Picnic four or five will
probably die. Mrs. Reed Miller and
laughter and the daughter of the Lu.
heran preacher were among the killed.
The telegraph lines suffered severely.
The loss by re burning of the Yes
q on Works will probably reach
100000. Eighty thousand barrels of
Ill were DESTROYED,

| Inc NeXt COuBFes3s-Ine OutIOOKs
The New York Herald, Independ.
ent, has this to say regarding the elec-
tioR ct . the next Congress
the Republicans recovering the House
of Representatives which they lost in
the elections of 1874. The whole drift
of political tendencies is again st
them. The President they elected
two years ago has not proved popular
even in his own party, aud although
the quarrel is understood to have been
hushcd the Republicans can feel no en-
thusiasm for a chief whom their or
gans have been accuscOmed to belittle
and deride. The people at large favor
economy; and most of the cxtrava-
giant legislation of the late session was
the work of the Republican Senate,
which rcprcssed the frugal tendencies
OF the Democratic House. The Potter
investigation may not have much eff.
feet but its effect, SO far as il has any,
will not be for the advantage of the
Republican party.
There arc reasons quite apart from
the political issues raised between
the two parties why the democrats
seem to have the better chance. First,
hSeeseSo-
publican organization two years ago,
aud several Republican members were
elected to Congress. The Republicans
will lose most of these, and it is diff.
cult 10 see where they are to gain
member in all the Southern States.
Consider California. Three of the
fOuc present members from that State
are Republicans; but owing TO the
Communist upheaval they are likely
to be replaced by Keaineyites. Con.
slider Indiana, where the loss of Sem
tor Morton must greatly weaken the
party. In New York tile Republicans |
are more likely to lose than to gain
Members because their influence will |
be chiefly expended in choosing men,
bers of Assembly with view to re-
elect Senator Copkl;ng. In Ohio, Mr..
Hayes own State, b.s party cannot
expect to be SO strong as ii was two
years ago in the first flush of his pop.
after his nomination for the
Presidency. Explore where we will
we can discover no prospect of re-
sOvery of the House OF Representa-
ives by the Republican party.

A Hot Contest.


The Democrats of the Fifteenth
Congressional District, composed of
the counties OfItichland, Knox, Holmes,
COshoctOn and Tuscarawas, held their
Convention on Monday and Tuesday
of last week and had u very warm con-
test. Each county in the District pre-
seDted candidate, they being Hon.
B. Burns, of Richland; General G. w.
Morgan, of Knox; DR.. Ponerene, of
Holmes; Hon. G. III. Barger, of CO.
shocton, and Hon. A. ". Patrick, of
Tuscarawas. After GO ballots had
been taken, without effecting nomi-
nation q motion was made and carried
to adjourn Apmeet in Mt. Vernon, on
the last Wednesday in July at o'clock.
Although the contest was earnest and
exciting, the Convention was through
out one of the most orderly and gen.
tlemanly ever held in the State. The
District is strongly Democratic, and
whoever gets the nomination will un-
doubtedly be elected. @
