The Cleveland Leader hopes that
"some one will make it matter OF duty
at the Ohio editorial meeting, to keep
the Hon. Archibald McGregor and the
Canton Repository man from hurting at
each other any OF the playful sentences
they toss back and forward week by
week" This precaution neglected, the
Leader fears that ian innocent and thin
skulled outside might be permanently
damaged" We consign to Mr.. MlGreg'
or the pleasant duty Of representing the
Canton press at the Editorial conven-
ton, and cheerfully give him permission
to announce himself as a special repre-
sentative of the Repository. We know
of no way in which we could offer the
gentleman greater honor, or better ex'
press our Willingness to be peaceful and
harmonious.
We cheerfully accept the duty, and
shall try and discharge It to the satisfac'
ton of the Repository and all concerned.
The Leader need not bother over the Re
pository and ourself All is peace and
loVeliness now.

By reference to our Congressional

BY reference to our Congressional pro.
ceedings in this paper, it will be seen
that the Republicans Of the House on
the 1lth reireated from their previous
position, and like sensible men, voted
with the Democrats for the Army bill,
restrictions and all. The stalwarts, like
Blaine & Co., are losing their grip, and
are not holding the fort. The stalwarts
are for Grant, and wish to force the
bloody shirt issue upon the country in
every way, by using the army and every
other means usual to despotism. But
read the proceedings in this paper, and
see how Cox, Clymer and Othere hand
led Garfield.

AT the funeral of Gen. Shields, in Mis-
souri,, the two swords presented to him
by the States of Illinois and South Caro-
lima, for gallantry in the Mexican war,
were crossed over the coffin. The gift
of Illinois cost $1,000, and that of South
Carolina $4,000, and both are richly stud
ded with jewels. It's remarkable fact
in connection with the vicissitudes OF
the old hero, that these swords we're for
a long time in pawn at one of the Car
rollton banks for money to keep the
General from actual suffering.

THE TICKET ENDORSED EVERY
WHERE,

Our ticket is receiving a most enthusi
astiC endorsement from the Democratic
press and the people generally. 1t is
most satisfactory, and the action of the
convention is greeted with good feeling
and cordial commentator on every
hand from members of the party. The
Democrats feel good and are determined
to win. There will be strong pull, and
aunited effort, with uDquestioDed harmo-
nyin the councils of the old party. No
chicanery on the part of the Republican
party can arouse the least discord in our
midst. The party is united, and will
make the grandest fight ever made in
any political campaign in the history Of
the State. The contest is assuming ma
tional importance, and will be fought for
free elections, fair juries. and an indie.
strnctable union under the constitution,
with equal rights to all. We want free
ballot boxes and no cartridge boxes at
the polls. With such cause, and such
ticket, we cannot fail. we must not
fail, WE WILL NOT FAIL Youngstown YIN

TIE murder of Mrs. Hull in New Yor

The murder of Mrs. Hull in New York
city seems to be as mysterious as the
Burdell murder, not even clue thus
far being obtained, 1t seems she was
sixty.three and her husband, DR.. Hull,
seventy-fouF, and old and fidgety. He
occupied room separate from her in the
upper part of the house on forty second
street. She was woman fond of soci
ETY., and robust and impulsive. They had
spent twelve years in England, the Doc.
tor standing high in his profession. They
returned to this country in 1873. They
were somewhat reduced in circumstan-
ces, and kept boarders. Mrs. Hull re-
tained many of her family jewels, and
had them scattered oyer the house in
book cases, sideboards, trunks and else.

at work on the case, but thus far have

ACCORDING to the Philadelphia Chron.
icle. Herald Edward Parr, who evaded
the gallows the other day, by swallowing
dose of strychnine, was at one time a
prominent Republican politician in Phil.

language of the Chronicle Herald that
Parr was a member of the Kemble gang,
and a pupil of the Professor of Addi-
ton, Division and Silence.

REPUBLICANS claim the executive at
Washington has the right to have super.

Marshals appointed, and troops station
ed at the polls to help them. Democrats
take issue, and believe the people should

those in power. History is full Of in
stances showing the danger to liberty
from such interference.
