The Cleveland Pgasndealer: "a special
correspondent of the PLdindealer has IN
earthed pretty kettle of fish that is being
cooked for the delectation of Charles
Foster. For several days he has been en-
gagged in an investigation Of the operations
of that gentleman and his friends, looking
to the securing of Catholic vote for the
Republican ticket. A few days since a
prominent Akron Catholic received let
ter from reverend gentleman whom he
knew to have been Catholic priest, and
supposed still to have been in orders. In
this letter he was invited and urged to
vote and use his influence for Foster for
Governor, as against Ewing, on the ground
that Foster is friend and sympathizer
with the Catholic Church Our CORES
pendent saw this letter, and it was made
the basis of inquiry, which disclosed the
fact that similar letters were being
sent all over the State. In one
| of these letters General Ewing is
denounced as renegade and apostate.
while Foster is spoken of as true son OF
the church in spirit. Whether all these
letters emanated from the same source or
not could not be ssoertained: That they
were received with contempt by the per
SONS to whom addressed is positive.
Neither have they affected any damage to
General Ewing's cause, nor are they likely
to; but, on the contrary. as our correspon-
dent says. Mr. Charles Foster is likely to

The Plow Don't Work.

The editor Of the Okalona States, now
10 Chicago, does not meet with the enthu-
siastic reception the stalwsrts hoped for.
It was part of the plan to have this paid
agent of the Republican party come
north, when it was fondly hoped the Dem-
ocracy would glorify him and show him
marked attention, then the stalwart press
could at once write bowling editorials,
pointing to him as a true representative
Democrat. But the plan failed, as has
many another nicely slaid scheme to mis-
represent democracy. Instead of the
cordial reception" which the Inter Ocean
predicted, Col. Harper,as he styles himself,
finds he is not only Stunned by:Democrats
but actually snubbed. In this dilemma,
the stalwarts are at loss what to do with
him, for, if they show him homage, the
game is up, while the snubbing he
receives at Democratic hands gives the
lie direct to all the howling Of the
subsidized partisan Republican press. In

Truly the stalwarts are in bad predica-
ment with their charge on their hands,
but failing in the accomplishment of the
objects for which he was hired to edit the
Oklahoma States, Harper will soon be kicked

no use for anyone who cannot be made
serviceable. Perhaps, however, the editor
of the States, may, like Cassanave Of the
