MR. HENRY Cock came out in the Re.

Mr.. HENRY Cock came out in the Re
pository the other day, over his own sig
nature, and corrohorated our statement
thatths County Commissioners did not SoRCi
nor engage H. Cock and A. McGregor 10 en-
anime the books in the Audito,'8 office. Il
is kind in Mr. Cock to admit this item o
"truth," being more than we expected
He might also have stated that, really
the scheme of examining the books in
question was conceived By u r, Feather
Esq.,, George FsSSlers deputy and that the
Auditor and his deputy, Mr. Creech, only
objected that Henry Cock should be an
examiner, being quite willing that any
competent and fair man, Republican OF
Democrat, should perform the task or as
sist therein.
The Duplicates are Of course made out
in the Auditors Office, and passed over
to the Treasurer from which to collect
the taxes. The treasurer, then, has pos
session of the books a great share Of the
time. If not correct, the treasurer and
his deputies have every opportunity to
ascertain wherein they are wrong. Mr.
Cock himself was an assistant in the
treasurer's Office under Feather, who was
running the Office. These gentlemen
are skilled in the business, and while
running the books and collecting taxes,
they would have been the very men to
detect errors in the books, and the very
men to make a noise about it too. AS
suredly, if the footings and aggregates
were not right, these old Republican
hoodlums, like Messrs. Feather and
Cock, would have quickly ascertained
and soon have made anasty noise. Their
eAortsnow to raise a nasty noise are for an
Interior and a political purpose, and they
are not accomplishing anything.
Mr. Cock says Mr.. Lynch favored an
examination, and conveys the idea that
Mr.. Lynch thought something was
wrongin the Auditors office. Mr.. Lynch,
we are authorized to say, never thought
there waS anything oOrong NTH the books and
management in the AUDITORS office. When
Mr.. Lynch conversed with the Auditor
and deputy, he found they objected only
to Henry Cock, and for specific reasons,
naming ex-Auditors Lee, (then in the
city, and Harry Ellison, of Alliance, or
any competent bookkeeper of any bust
ness establishment.
We regret that Mr.. Cock, while he
was giving us a lhodicum OF truth, did
not inform the public who the men are
that advised George Fessler to steal
thirty thousand dollars of Stark county's
money, and light out to Canada. Those
evil surroundings induced Mr.. Fessler to
commit an act that digraces his good
name, and has landed him in prison.
The talk about the Auditors office is all
stuff, to take attention away from the
really guilty, who have been the ruin of
George Fessler. But perhaps Mr.. Cock
will favor us with this piece of news
lext time.

IT seems Hayes wrote a letter to Judge
Longworth of Cincinnati, urging him to
consent to be the Republican candidate
for Congress in the first district. Is this
in accord with Hayes's civil service re.
form order? But, did he not help Stan
ley Matthews to the United States Sena-
torship? Stanley, though, was visiting
statesman at New Orleans.

VIM. Sterling, conductor of the notori-
GUS Second 49," that caused the terri
BILE collision upon the Pan Handle, was
discharged from custody Monday, the
decision of the Mayor being based upon
the fact that in Ohio there is no law to
hold him for running train off time.
We are satisfied he was acquitted, because
we believe he was guilty of no criminal
carelessness, but, at the same time, are
sorry the acquittal should have been
made on mere technical point. Here
is where the laws of Ohio are deficient
and an amendment should be make

MAJOR MCKINLEY does not like the
late bill redistricting the State. He ex.

Massillon. In his case this is not to be
wondered at, for it sends the Major out
of Congress, and he would like to re-
main.

DOES PROTECTION MEAN ROBBING
FARMERS AND WORKINGMEN
TO BENEFIT A FEW9
EDITOR DEMooRAT-In recent num-
Der of the Repository quotation is made
from the Wayne County Democrat, which
rightly says that Major Mckinley would
tax the farmer for the benefit of certain
manufacturing interests. In it's COM
ments, the Rep. attempts to show that
the Wood tariff bill would be highly
detrimental to farmers, and ends with
the query: "Is this the way the Demo-
Gratis protect the farmers interests ?"
Thie is from the editorial columns. Now,
in the same issue, turn over to the local
page, to the report of Major McKinley's
speech after his serenade on August 7th.
Among other things, he goes on to show
that the kind of farm engines which re-
tail for $1,000 in this country, can be
bought in Canada for $780, and that if
there was no protective tariff these Can
ada engines would be brought to this
country and sold for that price-$7OO.
If the Major had continued his explana-
ton further, he could have shown that
by this means the farmers would be able
to save $500 on every engine bought; and
that thus protective tariff was beneficial
only to a certain small class of producers,
in which farmers were not included.
Is this the way in which the Republicans
protect the farmers interests2
