WHAT WI OWE JOHN SHER.
MAN

"The country owes alarge debt 10
the craftsmanship of John Sherman
at the head Of the Treasury."-Gate
City, April 18th, 1879.
just so. John Sherman and his
ilk this country owes its deranged
industries. Its hundreds of thou
sands of failures, its millions of pau
pers and tramps, its increased taxes,
its violation of law and the augmen-
tation of its bonded indebtedness.
If this be craftsmanship, may a
merciful God save us from any furth-
er exhibition of such!
This peculiar craftsmanship has
made hard times. caused panics, IL
vited poverty, and drawn the indus
tries of the country into a malstrom
of bankruptcy.
1t has driven the father from home
and loved ones, to search for bread.
1t has removed the sweet smile
from the loving mothers face, lea,.
ing only the sombre shadows of care
1t has separated brother and sis.
ter, husband and wife, parent and
child.
It has invited the gaunt spectre
of poverty to sit on the thresholds O
homes and frightened it's inmate:
with hungry looks.
1t has encouraged dishonesty
prostituted virtue and f~osteret
crime.
1t has made murderers and SUI
cides, and marked its path with the
footsteps of blood!
Yes, the country owes John Sher
man q large debt.
A debt of hate, adherence ant
detestation. A debt of ignominy
infamy and shame.
But this debt will be paid.
1t will be paid in the contemp
with which every good and patriotic
citizen feels towards a public enemy
1t will be paid by retiring him t.
the oblivion of private life in 1880
from which, we pray TO an all merci
full, justice-loving God, that he ma,
never have the power to emerge.
John Sherman's craftsmanship
has been q course of financial ruin
this sirocco of commercial decay
the fatal Upas CT failure, fraud ant
favoritism.
1t has withered hope, BLASTED
bright prospects, and spread disas
ter on every hand. 1t has stoppe'
the busy wheel, closed factories
shut the furnaces mouth, and stage,
the hands of the field, the forest
mine and shop.
It has filed the once bright, cheer
full homes of our country with til
chilled 81 ON of despair.
1t has lowered the standard {
morality, it has shaken public conf
dence and brought us into contemI
in the eyes of the world. 1t h;
stolen the last dime from the star'
ing poor and placed it in the hand
of the rich. 1t has made the unhaI

VERY POOR AND DISHONEST
POLICY.

The following is taken from the
Bucyrus Journal, one of the strong
est Republican new spapers in the
State:
The Republican papers Just now
are engaged in agitating and even
assailing the military order of Gen.
Ewing, issued in August 1864, and
tending virtually to depopu!ate Cas-
and Bates counties, Missouri.
The journal entertains q most
profound and hearty contempt for
Gen. Ewing, it regards him as a
demagogue in the most comprehen
sive and the very worst acceptations
of the term; but when it considers
that whole districts of Virginia were
subject to even more seyere military
orders of depopulation and destruc
tion, than these counties in Missouri.
aid that the Republican press of the
country united for years in defend
ing this policy as an inevitable
though cruel necessity, it is difficult
to understand how Republican news
papers now car hope to reap any
political advantage by stu t flying
themselves.
Consistency is a jewel. When it
is remembered that Gen. Rice, a
one legged hero is allied with Ewing
on the ticket, such q recalling of
Ewing's services may reconcile soft
money Republican soldiers into vot
ing for the two Generals from sol
dierly pride, but it can hardly do the
Republicans any good; for how can
Republican papers assail Ewing's
war record without compromising
their own vigorous defence of him
and of just such policy years ago.

tee that their votes will be counted as
given, without being tampered with in the

it may be that they are republican votes
under another form the right to vote in
that manner is unquestionable, and also
the right to have the votes appear in the
returns as evidence of the politieal strength
OF the organization that casts them and a
foundation for influence in subsequent
elections. Tammany means to elect Cor
nell, but IL means something more, and is
entitled to have all its votes separately
counted and recorded. Whatever may be

Count Andrassys resignation is to be
formally accepted in few days, as our
despatch from Vienna reports, and the date
Of that resignation may be taken as indi-
eating an epoch in the history of the
Austro-H Hungarian monarchy. Ministerial
retirements ore not often of the gravest
moment neither is the genius Of Count
Andrassy such that his place may
not be filed by men quite as
capable to discharge all the du-
ties of his Office. But he is o man of
acute perceptions and able to comprehend
clearly enough the drift and direction Of
consequences in daily politi,al events. He
would be esteemed good politician even
in the sharp strife Of political wits in this
country. In the present crisis
He knows what's what. and that's as high
As metaphysic wit can fly.
He appears to be the only politician in the
Austro- Hungarian world who comprehends
clearly that the present tactics of Prince
Bismarck are to tempt Austria forward to
her ruin. and no persists in Withdrawing
from public life because that policy Of q
dangerous alliance is taken against his
advice, and he cannot by remaining in
Office consent to become responsible
fo- the results. The war by which
Russin crushed tho Turkish power in
Europe was delayed for twenty years
because the diplomatists could not
decide the rival claims of the Powers who
wished to profit territorially by the fall of
the Ottoman Empire. At last the Turks
were beaten, and now Russia sees a
compact made to hand over to one OF her
enemies the lions share Of the plunder.
Russia must therefore whip the Austrians
as she did the Turks, and when the day
for that conflict comes Austria will call
upon Germany, and Germany will not
support her. Germany tempts her with
encouragement and diplomatic support
now, but she will not givea soldier in the
day Of peril, and fighting Russia single
handed will be heavy contrnct for the
Austrians. Out Of that war tho monarchy
will come more crippled and shorn than il
did even out of the war OF 1866, and Ger
many will profit by tho calamity.
