GEN. WILEY is spending this week in
Stark county, filling his appointments
and making the acquaintance of the
people. The General makes favorable
impression with his good, honest, plain
face. he is no kidglove man-don't sail
with spread-eagle feathers-is not a
brawling temperance man with cellar
well provided with liquors and wines of
famous vintages-is not issuing secret
circulars, begging postmasters or others
to come to his rescue-is not creature
of Hayes and Sherman, and will be elect
ed by a rousing majority, through the
honest, unbribed, unbought votes of
American citizens, who are disguised
with the rule of fraud, outrage and
wrong.

THE Repository mentioned that Clarke,
a Republican county, was only taxed
about half as heavy as Stark. By refer
ence to the Secretary of States report
for 1877, we find the population of Clarke
county in 1870 was 5000, Stark 525O8
The total tax levied, other than State in
1877, we're, Clarke $248, ,88S, sc, Stark $346.
1866. Dividing each amount by the
population of each county, shows that
in 1877 the local taxation in Clarke was
S776 per head, and in Stark S6.57 per
head. Facts are stubborn things, when
set up against fool assertions. This, how
ever, is about as near the truth as these
Repository scrubs usually get. They are

Now, did he not make hot coffee ouer
"a hot fire" a little away "from hot fire
from the enemy?" A circumspect, brave
man would do that way. Billy Harrison

GEN. GARFIELD, in his recent speech
at Massillon, felt bound to say something
about the Democracy and Southern war
claims, but knowing that the Republicans
have paid one hundred millions of dol
lars of those claims, where the Demo-
Gratis have not paid FIVE millions, he
touched the matter lightly.

That the yellow fever Is increasing, and that
it Is spreading, are facts that cannot be contro-
verified. That our people. as well as those Of the
country contiguous to. or In communication
with this city by river or rail. have given way to
o most extraordinary and unnecessary panic
is another fact that cannot be denied. Until
very recently the anxiety and trepidation OK
hibited by our citizens have been surprising:
but we are glad to observe that they are betom-,
ing more calm and courageous as the enemy
develops his strength and line of attack. Fear
Is great stimulant and provocation to this dis
ease, and we respectfully warn our unaeci-
mated readers to restrain themselves from un-
due excltsment or apprehension. There. are
thousands Of inhabitants of this city who have
lived here for years. through many epidemics
who never have had and never will have the
fever. All men who have not had on accimating
fever are not necessarily subject to the disease
The advice that all careful and sensible doctors
give IT,. to keep yourselves, and particularly
sun and night mir. When the first indications Of
the fever are manifest send for q doctor, have
the patient we'll watched and carefully nursed.

A CARD.

The Washington News published the sudden
death Of my son John r. Donnell on the thirty
first of July as q suicide, without a. certain
evidence that / can discover. All the cts hith-
erto authenticated by me go to prove that my
poor sons death was purely accidental. Mr..
Kirksey saw nothing unusual In his manner
that morning. He had just written long,
businessike and cheerful letter to mo. and 1t Is
now before me, postmarked Washington 31st
July" In it he says that the fever Is about los
ing it's hold Of him. and he hopes to be at work
In day or two. That such a horrible act as
suicide should Immediately follow such let
tor, especially with boy so gentle and happy.
is simply moral inpossibflity. But were the
case otherwise, and was there even O. doubt ex-
listing to my poor boys fate, the spirit of fair
journalism might well give his memory the
benefit Of that doubt.

the following requests. to wit:
/. Such residents as have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run q sufficient
time to wash away rubbish, alth, etc., and TO
render the street cutters fresh and clean. This
step becomes necessary as many Of the cross
streets, or streets parallel with the river, are
without water plugs. and the difficulty hereto

want OF water.

their servants to place. the garbage in boxes In
