CHURCH CHOIR. usual changes in the
church choirs, which occure on the first Sun
day in May, will not take place this season.
At the First Baptist church they have large
chorus choir under the direction of Mr.. Sam
uel Thurston, while Mr.. Kotzschmar presides
at the organ. This arrangement has worked SO
satisfactorily the past month or two that no
change will be made. State street choir has
not yet filled the vacancy caused by the resg-
nation of Mrs Chase. The other church choirs
will remain the same as last year.

IN GENERAL.
The Rev. David Boyd, formerly an active
preacher in this state, in the Free Baptist de-
nomination has been getting into trouble. We
notice by full statement of the case published
in the Morning Star, that while Mr.. Boyd was
pastor of church in Pawtucket, r. L,
his intimacy with lady, then organist of his
church, caused scandal, public to a consid-
cradle extent, and finally published in Provi-
dence newspaper. A council of the church
was called which Mr.. Boyd opposed; he then
resigned his pastorate, caused quite number
of members to leave the church, and attempted
without succeeding, to establish another
church. At meeting of the Ministers Con.
ference of the Rhode Island Association of
Free Baptist churches, held in Providence, r.
l Mr.. B0ydswas expelled from the Conference
and is now living somewhere in Maine.

great corporations and millionaires Of
the land, the Republicans, true to their
instincts, voted against,-Wm' Mckinley
voting with them. No tax is fairer than
an income tax. England, Prussia and
Italy imposed it upon their rich subjects
Why should not we2 Yet in this land
Of the people, at the dlctation of the
rich, it was allowed to expire under Re-
publican rule, and its re-imposidon is
fercely resisted.
10, The Democrats steadily voted to
reduce the army, and thus cut down ex-
pense; but the Republicans opposed the
reduction. Mr.. Mckinley being one OF
the latter.
We may name few other points. A
constitutional amendment passed the
House by Democratic votes, prohibiting
the payment of claims to dislOyal per-
sons. The Dem ocratic House refused to
extend any patent monopolies, No sub
sides were granted. No lands were
given to railways, nor was the time
extended in cases of forfeited grants.
Under the leadership of Senator Thur
man, the Democrats compelled the Pa
ci6c railroad companies to make provis.
ion for the payment of their enormous
debt to the government, the security for
which had become almost worthless un.
der Republican tenderness for these cor
porations.
The surviving soldiers Of the war of
1872 were pensioned; but the Republi-
cans prevented the pensioning of the
veterans of the Mexican war, one of
those voting against being William Nc
Kinley jr.
Such is brief sketch of the record Of
Congressman Mckinley. Comment is
unnecessary. Mems minds are generally
made up on these subjects. Let every
good citizen look at and consider the
record. Let every laboring man, and
every fair business man in the sixteenth
district consider the facts, and act on
conscience, as becomes free and intelli.
gent American citizen.
In this paper, beginning on our second
page, will be found the able speech of
Gen. Wiley, and a careful reading will
show that he is sound on the great ques-
tions. The question for consideration
now is, whether Aquila Wiley or VIM.
Mckinley jr., shall represent this dis
trict in the next House of Congress. Let
every man vote his honest sentiments,
and the verdict will be overwhelming
for AQUILA WILEY, the brave and gallant
soldier.

M,K1N1EY AND THE IsRAELTTEs.

Hayes, last spring, removed Grants
old Recorder of Washington, an Israel
ite named Woolf. OF course Mr.. Woolf
wished to retain so fat place, worth
$4,000 or so a year, and he had his
friends come to the rescue. Among them
was Mr.. Ruhman, of Canton, who busted
himself in the interest of his old friend
Wolff. This Woolf, too, was into the
conspiracy to count in Hayes, and was
entitled to consideration therefor. Mr..
Ruhman and the Israelites here appeal
ed to Congressman Mckinley to inter-
cede for Woolff, and the amiable Major
as in the case of Hookway and the Mas
sillon postofiCe, readily promised, and
we understand, says he did proceed at
once to the White House and presented
the case on behalf of Mr.. Ruhman and
his colleagues. All this did no good,
however, for the hyenas were after
Woolff, and Mckinley did not save his
bacon In the least.
The funny part now is, that Mckinley
claims great credit to himself for what
he did, and hopes to get votes therefor !
This man, 80 influential with Hayes and
company that he could get as poor a
stick as Vance into fat place, was una
BILE to save Wolff from the Hayes.Sher-
man guillotine. Our Jew friends are not
80 simple as to sacrifice principle for so
triding and doubtful a consideration.
They know there are more ways of kill
ing dog than choking him to death
with melted butter Admitting all Nc
Kinley claims, his efforts availed moth
ing, and what was worth nothing was
not worth much.

Ex.Gov. SEYMOUR, on the condition of
affairs, gave utterance to the following
recently:
General idleness makes general dis
content, and discomfort gives birth to
various wild theories about government,
labor and finance.
"The communist is only highly de-
veloped tariff man, who thinks that gov
ernment makes the prosperity of coun-
try, and should interfere with the busi-
ness of the citizens, but communism in
its open form can never do as much
harm as it does in the latent shape Of
our tariff laws"
Here we have the protectionist theory
in nutshell. That 1t is the office Of Gov.
ernment to take from one man his property
and giUe tito another, and make his business
prosper.

Tur MAINE TIECTIoN

Took place on Monday of this week, and
the Republicans seem to have got a
backset in that old stronghold. The
contest was warm, and Blaine, Garfield
and other leaders travelled the State and
labored hard. Nevertheless they seem
to have lost two Congressman, one being
the noted Eugene Hale, who is beaten
by F. II. Murch, Greenbacker; and the
other, Powers, who is defeated by G, W.
Ladd, Democrat and Greenbacker. This
is terrible defeat, where the leaders did
not expect it,
Maine elects five members Of Congress.
The three Republicans elected are Thos.
B. Reed, w. W. Frye and S, D. Lindsey.
The candidates for Governor were Sell
don Conner, Rep; Alonzo GarCelon,
Dem; and James L. Smith, Greenback.
Last year Conner was elected by about
5000 majority on a vote Of 1856 Repub'
lican, 4S,O5S Democrat, and 5,4l5 Green
back. Now, there is no choice, and as
the House of Assembly seems to have a
majority Of Democrats and Greenback-
ers combined, and the probability is
Garcelon or Smith will be chosen. The
Senate is Republican, and the House, in
case of no choice by the people, is re.
quired to select two of those voted for,
send their names in to the Senate, and
that body selects one for Governor.
This defeat in Maine is from New Eng
land. If the Republicans cannot hold
their ground there, where will they?
From the way their prominent speakers
are piling in to Iowa, they must be-
alarmed for that State.

HAyns's Secretary of State, and lawyer

HAYEs's Secretary of State, and lawyer
for the fraud before the Electoral Com.
mission, was questioned the other day
upon the Southern question, and re-
marked significantly:
"The Southern question of the last
campaign is no longer open. Unless the
Republican party has some ne1U propositions
for dealing aUith The impetectIy ae8imiJGted
Southern communities, the question will
not become practical one. Ghe party
has ana neaD propositions to make, the Ad-
mini8tration are as likely to haze the shaping
of them as anybody else."
"Some ne,O propositions" may mean
something. These spectators in fraud
and villainy feel their position insecure,
and no doubt would like to put forth
"new proposition" so as to have the
shaping" There is "hell in their ha-
tred," and no end to their schemes ol
villainy, Recurring to the same topic,
and in answer to the question, "Do you
expect the solid South will be perma-
nent and threatening element in future
elections?" Mr.. Evaps uttered the fol-
lowing significant words:
1T remains to be seen whether, in the
course of things, the intelligence, justice,
and humanity Of the best elements in the
North will gradually permeate and ele-
vate the sentiment of the South, or if the
South, as a whole, will unite with the
coarser and grosser political agencies Of
the North, to the injury of the country"
There is no doubt wisdom in the fore
going, if one could find out exactly what
the learned little functionary means
Time may develope, however.

THAT M'KINLEY SECRET CIRCU-
LAR.

The Repository geniuses are still sweat
ing over that secret circular, saying it is
not secret and that is now fact; as the
DEMOCRAT spoiled. the secrecy of the
thing by publishing the same, with Da-
vid Kiehls letter.
AS we said last week, the circular was
not printed, but repeated by the new
electric needle process by means of a
battery, and hence had the appearance
Of having been written. This was done
to make it still more sacred and secret,
and to have a better effect.
The circular giving the procurement"
requirement was wholly unnecessary
to some postmasters. Such a man
as Mr.. Vignos, the P. M. of Canton, who
so peculiarly, not to say shamefully sue.
Ceeded H. D. Shaffer, assuredly very
popular man in the place, needed no cir
cular admonltion, as to the procure.
ment" of "fve votes who never voted
the Republican ticket" He is always
on hand for such service. Neither did
Mr.. Kicks, the postmaster at Massillon,
require a circular. A salvo of some kind,
circular or something else, might have
been sent to Mr.. Hookway, who was
promised the Massillon postofiCe two
years ago by Mr.. Mckinley. We under
stand the Major went back on HookWay
because he did not attend, or was not a
member of the Methodist or some other
church
We advise that a circular be sent yet
to Mr.. Hookway by all means, and with
out delay The Major and his friends
need not bother about Mr.. Kicks nor Mr..
Vignos, nor indeed Joseph Gillespie, P.
NJ. at Alliance. These are "trooly loil"--
to the Major, circular or no circular.
Hookway and such are the men to circle
with circulars.
We admire the way the Repository ge.
muses. meet the secret circular question.
They are really eloquent over it, even
rising at times to indignation. We sup.
pose the author is a procurement" fel.
low himself; we judge so by the great
zeal, not to say wrath, manifested We
advise him to go on; he is doing well;
serves his master faithfully to the extent
of his conceitcd capacity. Some men
have no qualms in pawning their little
souls.
"There was little man and he had little SOUL
And he said :-"Lttle soul let us rlsep
And he soon secured place when he thought by
proper grace,
He might pawn his little soul for prize!"
