We had a call from Gen. Ben Lee
Fevre, candidate for Congress in the
Fifth Ohio District, last Thursday.
He was accompanied by Hon. Chas.
Negley, who was chaperoning him
around among the unterrified on our
side of the Border Line. Gen. Lee
Fevre has an impressive appearance,
being of y large stature, and what
the ladies would call good looking.
transformations manners and an hon
est face are what win mems hearts to
him. Darke county should feel
proud of such a representative, for
he looks ;'every inch a Congress
man," The general has but little to
say about the canvass, but expressed
himself confident of holding his own.

nominated him, turning to Mr.. Neg
ley with a merry twinkle in his eye,
and laughing heartily: "Fll never
go into another Convention without
/ have Charley Negley on my side.
He is the hardest worker I ever saw"
General LeFevre is an agreeable gen
tleman in his manners, has had
great experience in the world, and
would make a good administrative
officer in the House. Darke county
could not honor herself more thar
by giving her sutfrages to such 6

The Board of managers of the Sol
diers' and Sailors Orphans Home,
met at the institution on Saturday
and construed sections 8 and A of the
last act of the Legislature to mean
that no payment of any orphans
pension to the Home is required, and
that all soldiers and sailors orphans
will be admitted. We hope this will
quiet the nerves of the bowling Re-
publicans who r always crying
their love of the soldier when they
speak Of Democratic measure, but
are painfully negligent when they
have a chance to help him them
selves.

The original "civil service order
of President Hayes stated that Off
GERS of the government must abstain
from any work at elections. Our
readers will remember what press
ure was brought on him to recind
the order, On the ground that it must
ruin The party. In his weakness he
relented and caused the "explana-
ton" to be issued, that he meant
they should not "fnfiuence nomina-
ttions." Now we have the. pitiful
spectacle of the President breaking
his own order and smearing his own
skirts, by writing personal letter
to Judge Longworth, of Cincinnati,
urging him to become candidate
for Congress in the First District
Verify we are a Inundated people,
with a Fraud for a President and he,

Mosby, the confederate guerilla,
has been rendered the U. S. Consul
ate at Canton, China, worth about
$4,000 per annum. The Hardin
Co. Democrat wants to know if the
reason he is in such high standing
and repute with the present fraudu-
lent Administration, is not because
he hung some of the men belonging
to Hayes Regiment at Cabletown,
Va; in November, 1864? Wonder
if he didn't by that act help to make
some of the orphans the Republican
party are soldering over now? Guess
the party loves him for furnishing
them their present small capital to
do business on. The brute's in high
favor with them, anyhow. If he was
assisting the Democracy, such a howl
would go up all over the country as
would raise the dead. That's Re-
publican consistency.

In a recent speech Ben Butler
said: 81 was with the Republicans

ministration to strengthen the pub

viewed the history of the greenback
currency, and claimed it should be
made legal tender for all debts, pub.

Il RADICAL cUTTLE-FlSH
BRIBE-SHRIEKERS.

The leaders of the party which has
placed in many official places the
most corrupt set of men that ever
lived among civilized people, and
whose base acts have made their
names synonyms for fraud, perjury,
black mail and all that is contained in
the hell-besmutted catalogue of
crime, have commenced, in nearly
every Congressional District in Ohio
where Democratic nominations for
Congressman have been made, to
howl against the successful nominees
and say that they owe their success
to the use of money in the bribing of
delegates to secure their nomina-
tions. The base uses of money,
made by these very howlersin secur-
ing their own nominations and cleo
ton on previous occasions, their sub
orning of witnesses to hide or cover
up Radical populations, their bribing
of members of the Legislature, Rep
resentatives and Senators in Con-
gress, men in official positions, from
road Supervisor to Canal Commits
%sioner, from Justice of the Peace to
Supreme Judge. from the voter of a
single ballot to State electors, to
thereby secure through fraud for one
of their number the Presidential
seat; all this and much more they
have done with money; and the peo-
pie have seen it and become disgust
ed with anything that has the SEM
blance of the acts of these men.
Knowing that the voters will not
longer willingly give their support I'd
men who have acted as these Radi-
cal howlers have done, the howlers

against themselves. Those of The

their eyes the Republican film tina
for many years blinded them, ant
before the next election occurs they
will see that they have been deceiv

John Sherman made his opening
speech, in defiance of the Presidents
civil service rules. at Toledo, on
Monday night. The audience was a
turbulent one, he took his seat upon
the stage amid a storm of Kisses, and
his speech was almost inaudible for
the jeers and slang hurled at him.
While we differ from Mr.. Sherman
in his opinions as widely as possible,
and believe his course is leading to
national bankruptcy, still we cannot
but discourage such actions. The
worst cause has a right to be heard,

to overthrow it, than riotous conduct.
