! Tr M,KINLEY-sAxToN RING,

] HE M'KINLEH- hAN0'
It has always been matter OF sur
prise to us that as worthy and popular a
young lawyer of Canton as Henry Wise
was defeated in the Senatorial conven-
ton, and E. N. HsrtshOrn nominated.
Mr.. Wise, we supposed, was too mod
sst TO press bis claims, had not the cheek
necessary, nor the intriguing qualities !;
nor had he that class aiding him.
It seems it was the McKinley-Saxton
influence that manipulated the carcs for
Har.shorn and defeated Mr.. Wise. Mr..
Hartshorn, then, is the candidate of the
Mckinley .Saxton ring, in fact we may
say is small part of the ring. This ring
is a very selfish concern, and presumes
to run the affairs of the Republican party
in Stark county, with strict reference to
their own mill. Postoffices and every
thing hereabouts in the control OF the
Hayes fraud administration are used as
they dictate. The Canton postoffice is
notable example.
Even John Webb, who had served
them faithfully and well, and to whom
they promised the Sheriff's nomination
even Webb, wesay, was kicked overbo ard
without ceremony, to make room for
that ex Greenbacker and ex Kansas
man, C. F. Laibin. The Mckinley Sax
ton ring is the cormorant of the Repub
lican party in Stark. It is the agent Of
John Sherman and the Hayes fraud, and
seem to think they carry Stark county
in their pocket. There are many Re-
publicans in Canton who understand
this Mckinley ,saxton arrangement, and
do not propose to be used by these up
start lords,
No doubt Mr.. Hartshorn thinks the
Mckinley .Saxton ring will take him
through all right With all due respect
we must say, if Hartshorn 80 imaginet
he is very green in the business of poll
tics, and may be much wiser after cleo
ton. We advise this would be Senator
to make up his mind to continue in the
Commercial department of Mount I'm
ion College. He has fixity there, fol
which let him thank God, and his broth
er, and be content.
When on this subject we would ask
the Repository if it is not true, that las
fall, Congressman Mckinley, besides
promising chaplaincy, presented the
same gentleman with an elegant $45 at
las. The public would like to know
about these things, Was it presented
through the Mckinley postmaster Of
CantonP Or, was it sent by express, di-
rect from the gay Congressman himselfP
The Postmaster, we know, was active
last fall, as he is now. In fact was not
his office numbered with feudal condi-
tions of base servitudeP Instruments of
this stamp are convenient for work of
questionable propriety.
Let the RepOSitOry, then, enlighten the
public on these singular proceedings.
Thus far, mum has been the word. Sure.
ly, these are matters of public concern !;
and public journal, claiming to be the
organ in the county of "the party of
great moral ideas," and to represent all
the intelligence, should meet these
points at once.

WENDELL PHILLIPS has a plain way of
speaking. On the Hayes Admiuistra-
tion he says: "While this Administra-
tion of corrupt bargain and sale "a will
ing prostitute--lasts, I blush to be an
American citizen !" and of the Republi-
can party ITSELF he says; mo party in
our history has ever fallen from such a
height, or to such depth of disgrace. I
have watched politics for fifty years, and
my Judgment is that the fault of this
party is one'third ignorance and two
thirds knavery."

THE British embassy at Cabul, in AT
ghanistan, were assaulted by Afghan
regiments and murdered. Major Cava-
gnari was the ambassador. He and the
military companies acting as guards, de-
fendeSt themselves all day on the 9th, but
their assaiants finally setting fire to the
buildings, drove out the British, when
they were all brutally slaughtered, Brit
ish troops are moving into Afghanistan
to take vengeance.

ABOUT four hundred Ohio men, head
ed by Hayes and Secretary Sherman will
come from Washington to vote at the
State election Rep. En-.
Add to these the postmasterS and pos
tai agents, collectors and their deputies,
s.. Marshals and their deputies, and
there is quite an army of ofiCehold ers.
To meet al these, and the money used,
the Democracy depend on the unbought
people Of the State.

The Republicans did not sweep Maine,
if they did spend a million Of dollars.
Blaine, John Sherman & Co., promised
to do great things, to elect their Cover
nor by 600 majority and secure an cd
fashioned Republican victory but it did
not come. But for their efforts by mon.
ey and otherwise, they would have been
badly skunked. As it is, it is not great
Republican triumph. The shouts of the
Repository and other windy journals is
only to keep up courage.

HENRY ALTEKRUsE, our candidate for
Sheriff, was born in Stark county, and
has always lived in the county. He
never, when young man, went west as
Mr.. Laiblin did, and after remaining
there some years return to Ohio. 1t is
healthy, sometimes, to take Greeley's
advice, and "go West;" and then again
it may be healthy to return east.

MCGREGoR now thinks he can write
down Mount Union College.-AHiance
Review.
We are trying to write it up-to get it
out of the dirty pool of Republican poll
tics. Rebuking the Hartshorns by elect
ing Edwin Ferrall, will promote the best
interests of the College as an institution
of learning. Men of professed learning
and piety should be far above taking an
active part in sustaining the party of
corruption and fraud.

OHIO AND IOWA ELECTIONS.

The elections in Ohio and Iowa last
Tuesday resulted in decisive Repub-
lican victories.
Ohio gave Foster, tire, Republican
candidate for Governor, 1000 ma
jority over Ewing, the Republicans
making gains over last years vote in
nearly every portion Of the State.
The Legislature, which had been all
but conceded to the Democracy, will
have thirty five Republican majority
on joint ballot, thus assuring the cleo
ton Of Republican to succeed Mr..
Thurman in the Senate.
In Iowa the Republican majority
was about 10000: This was Of course
expected, as Iowa was one of the most
reliable Republican States in the I'm
ion, but the Ohio contest is a far diff
ferent matter. The victory Of the
Republicans, following their success
il Maine and California, has filled
their party with enthusiasm, which
will be sensibly increased by almost
certain triumph in New York next
month. The effect of these elections
upon the national contes: in 1880 will
he very great, and there is no deny
ing the fact that the outlook Is ex-
ceedingly discouraging to the Democ-
racv
