CONGRESSMAN MCKINLEY started back

the Chinese god, Joss, but the working
men in this district he probably feared
might curse him loud and deep if he
voted for Joss-so he lodged.

ga GALL FOR EY1DENcE.n

The call of the Massillon Independent
for "the evidence" which caused the SOM
ersault of the Repository, has brought
out an editorial, written by ]. ]. Clark,
in which that secret sneak reporter for
Dun & Co.'S piratical commercial agency,
shows he has been prying into the tax
duplicate to see how much land is owned
by Fessler's bondsmen.
Now, every man of intelligence knows
that the tax duplicate utterly fails to show
the financial condition of property own
ers. Men may be land poor, while the
duplicate would show them rich. We
could cite plenty Of instances to prove
this. But Tom Saxton CldimedtO 10 kaotU, Of
his own personal knowledge, that the bonds
men could not pay, and that their condition
wa8 such that the money could mol be made
after judgment, and al forced sale. This is
unquestionably true, and hence Tom
Saxton originally and properly favored
the passage of the Worley bill and SET
tlement, declaring he knew it would be
better for the county, as he said in his
letter to Worley and Williams, as this
letter will show. When Tom signed
this letter he was acting independently
and for himself, not under the control of
a heartless, mousing reporter. But here
is the letter again, read it:
10 Hons DanI Worley and R. @. Williams,

terests of the county will be advanced
