IT has been decided in Washington
that Sitting Bull and his band are now
British subjects, having placed them
selves under British protection. 1t is
said that Mr.. Evarts will notify the
British authorities of this conclusion,
and that they will be held responsible
for Mr.. Bulls acts, if he should abandon
the sitting posture and travel over the
border, as he threatens to do.

Judge Jere Black, famous in contem-

Hiding from Papa.
Papa's lost his baby,
Searches everywhere.
Under chairs and tables.

Pulls aside the curtain.
Peeps behind the door.
Never sees the little heap
Curled up on the floor.
Never heard the whisper.
"Mamma. don't you tell"
Nor the little laughter,
Muffied, like bell!
OF he scampers wildly.
Hunting here aud there,
Overturning everything,
With the greatest care!

Sitting on his perch.
Mammals apron-pocket
Suffers by the search!

How to Air A Room.

1t is the general practice to open only
the lower part of the windows of room
in ventilating it, whereas, if the upper
part were also opened, the object would
be more speedily effected.
The air in an apartment is usually
heated to higher temperature than the
outer air, and it is thus rendered lighter,
and as the outer air rushes in, the warm
er and lighter air is forced upward, and.
finding no outlet, remains in the room.
II candle be held in the doorway
near the floor, it will be found that the
flame will be blown inward; but, if it be
raised nearly to the top of the doorway,
it will go outward; the warm air flow
ing out at the top, while the cold air
flows in at the bottom.
A current of air from the room is
generally rushing up the fue of the
chimney if the fue be open, even
though there should be no fire in the
stove; therefore open fre-places are the
best ventilators we can have for cham
Der, with an opening arranged in the
chimney from the ceiling.

The Maharajah of Jeypore, having
entertained Gen. Grant at dinner, in
vited him to have game at billiards.
Russell Young mentions as An instance
of Grants magnanimity that the Indian

criminate, promiscuous manner, and
making some wonderful shots in the
way of missing balls he intended to
strike.

ANDREW Roy, late State Mine Inspec-
tor, and prominent National, was in
terviewed by an Enquirer man as follows:
"Is there any truth in the assertion
that the resignation of Posten is to be
recalled after election, in your opinion?"
None whatever; that will do for par
tisan effect; tie assertion is not at all
probable"
"Yo1 yourself have been mentioned
in connection with the vacancy"
II would not accept the appointment;
it would look too much like a bargain
anG sale; though matters would have
been different had it not been that was
a candidate on the State ticket"
What are the prospects of the Ma.
tionals2"
"a few like Crist. Lewis and D. G..
Meeker talk great deal about holding
their own, and even increasing their
vote. l think it will show a very large
falling off this fall. There is nothing to
hold them together The repudiation
plank in the State platform was a wet
blanket to all the more far.seeng mem
bers of the party, ant was rushed thro'
by lot OF visionary and hot headed
delegates, who had no experience in pol
itics and no idea Of its effect"
There is, perhaps, no one in the State
who is in position to gauge the senti.
ments Of the miners and Greenback peo.
pie Of the State better than Mr. Roy,
which makes his frank admission ofa
decreasing vote worth considering. Good
judges of the Greenback strength in this
city and county say that it will not be
one fifth as large as it was year ago,
and may dwindle to much less.

PERSONAL DETRACrIoN

Seems to be the line of policy of the Re.
pO8itOry in treating of the Democratic
candidates. If truth was adhered to
there might be some excuse, but when
fllsehood is the main ingredient, and
when that paper boasts of it's dirt, and
puts on airs of propriety, and justifes its
course, it doubly shows it's baseness.
In referring by name to our candidates,
and falsely charging them as it does,
thereby trying to convey the idea that
these gentlemen are not what they are,
namely, good citizens and worthy men,
of good habits, the Repository deals in
unworthy detraction and slander.
The Democratic candidates iu all that
constitutes qualification, will lose moth.

the term goes; or in dealing, were in the

But the Rep. claims the fright" to
publish Intelligence regarding the
characters and habits of gentlemen who
aspire to public position" 1t would
seem, that on this principle it claims the
right to falsify concerning Democratic
candidates. 1t exercises the fright" to
blacken the Characters" and misrepre'
sent the "habits" of Democrats, because
they are popular with the people, and
are likely to be elected over their Re-
publican opponents. The Rep. need moi

PREvARIoATINa is "shufiing or quib.
bling to avoid the TRUTH" and this is
what the Alliance Review did in its wrig-
Cling way, TO get out of its lie upon
Henry Altekruse. The natural impulse
of our esteemed friend was TO come out
square and rasp Tom saxton, who told
the falsehood, with a view to use the
Review, not caring or daring to do the
dirty work himself Weregret the editor
of the ReUie,O could not write his article
without coming to Canton to consult the
McKinley-saxton ring. There may be
reason for that lack of independence,
as evidenced in the quibbling, shuffl ing,
garbling way in which the correction
was done. 1t was not the usual manly
way Of the Review.

THE GAME OF BLUFF

The Republicans are playing shows any
thing but calm confidence as to carving
Ohio. The thing has substantially play
ed out, for their howls are raised OH false
issues, and scare nobody.
Their stuff becomes stale. They have
been so long charging upon the Demo
Gratis that we design overthrowing the
common school system; that we are CO.
ing to pay the rebel debt, pension Con-
federate soldiers; intend making the
Pope of Rome monarch of Ohio; that
the Democratic party is going TO starve
the government, &c. Ia 1875 these
charges were made fierce and furious.
1t was then that the Democracy were
charged with intending to overthrow the
common schools, and that the Pope's toe
did Republican service.
Each campaign sees new inventions
on the part of the Republican leaders,
and equally false and groundless. Their
bluff game now is the most barefaced,
saying "Gen. Ewing gives it up" "Thur'
man says the Democracy are gone in
Ohio" Ewing and Thurman are at
outs :" Thurman is only trying to carry
the Legislature :" "Hardmoney Demo-
crAts and all the Germans ore going to
vote against EWING" in fact, Everybody
comedies Republican victory" &c.
All this twaddle and senseless stuff
need alarm no one. Gen. Ewing is not
the man to be beaten by brag and blus
ter. He has seen too much service to
be beaten by bluff. And the Democrats
of Stark county are not to be beaten this
year by lies, either Democrats are ev.
erywhere in good spirits; and out of
Ohio, Democrats are sending up earnest
prayers for the success of the gallant De-
mocracy of Ohio, and our gallant leader,
Gen. Ewing. The Democrats are well
united all over the State, never better,
and never more in earnest. All sensi'
BILE Democrats and intelligent men know
the Importance of giving the party of
fraud backset, preparatory to the Pres
Eidential contest next year. Ofall States,
Ohio is the one for the Democracy to
carry this year. The fraud President is
an Ohio man, and is now in the State to
aid bis party. In fact, the manipulators
of the Presidential fraud are mostly Ohio
men, among whom we name Eliza Pinks-
ton Sherman, and Charles Foster, who
bargained with Confederate Brigaders,
that Hayes would recognize Hampton
and Nichols as Governors Of South Car.
olina and Louisiana.
These are the corrupt men who are
trying in Ohio to defeat the Democratic
party. 1t behooves Democrats, and all
friends of honest governmental to do their
duty at the polls, and prior thereto, in
urging their neighbors to do the same.
Let there be no faltering, no division
but harmony and united action, for the
sake of the cause.

CANToN's Mayor has not yet satisfied
the City Council as to his report, made
some time ago, and amended .or revised
twice. 1t must have been very crooked
to require so much labor to straighten,
and then not succeed. Our city fathers
have been quite indulgent with Mayor
valleley. Our Republican Mayor, who
defeated, last spring, by Democratic
votes, as capable a man as W. ]. Piero,
turns out to be very incompetent in more
respects than one, we fear. We speak
more in sorrow than in anger, for he has
disappointed great expectations" The
Repository promised better things. Had
not the Rep. better recommend settle

LYING ABOUT EWING.

Editor Stark County Democrats
JIG. Holland in his "Lessons in Lie"
says "One of the rarest powers possessed
by man, is the power to state fact. IL
seems a very simple thing to tell the
truth but, beyond all question, there Is
nothing half so easy as lying"
Especially is this true of dirty liars
who report for "leadine" journals, in the
interest of a party with fraudulent Pres
dent. In the Repository of Saturday,
Aug. 3Olh, read an article, copied from
the Cleveland Herald, in which a polit-
ical "prevaricatof" calls himself an "En
voy." An Envoy" from where and for
what purpose2 From Republican head
Quarters, sent to the soldiers reunion at
Steubenville, to defame and villify men
who periled their lives in the defense o.
their country. This Envoy "Extraordi'
nary" says that General Ewing was mo-
treated as soldier-that he was not
cheered. That the reunion was ostensi'
bly non partisan, but that the tide OF
political sentiment would crop out. That
wells for Garfield and Hickenlooper were
tremendous.
Mr.. Editor, am not much Of poll
tician; but having been myself soldier,
a veteran, demand the truth, l would
say to this "envoy" that attended the
reunion, not as paid tool of stay at
home Foster ism, but as citizen and
voter; and that Gen. Ewing aCas applaud
ed when he was introduced on the stand
several times during his speech, and also
when he had ended. Gen. Ewing is q
soldiero of whom the nation can be proud
man who neUer ran when duty de.
manded his presence. To this Cleveland
Herald "envoy" let me say, only sold
ier can comprehend the entire value Of
Gel. Ewing; and he who seeks to de-
fame Finn by deliberate lying can Ger,
taiuly not claim to be an honorable and
respected citizen, much less defender o
the Stars and Stripes at the peril of his
life.
would further state that during the
entire day did not hear single cheer
for Foster, while cheers for Ewing were
numerous. Did the crowd at Steu
benville, did this envoy know that
Hickenlooper, at the battle of Shiloh ran
like bank robber, with Chicago detec'
tive after him2 Gentlemen, in the face
of all that is honorable, please state the
truth. Though you read your doom in
the approaching crisis; though your dy
ing agonies and last bitter moments bt
terrible, let not your record go before
the people stained and SCARED with vii
lainy and lying of the deepest dye. Ant
let not the fact that you endeavored tt
vilify an honest soldier by Republican
prevaricating console you, for rest assur
ed that not a Democratic soldier in Starl
county will vote for Charlie Foster.

JACOB WOLF. ESQ, OF CINCIN-
MATT,
Spoke in reply to ex,Judge West on Sat-
urday evening last, in the Opera House.
The audience, though much larger than
was that of West, was not hat it should
have been, for go able and interesting
discourse. Mr.. Wolf is an impressive
speaker, states and expresses his points
clearly, and holds his audience well.
A. McGregor introduced Mr.. Wolfand
referred to bis excellent speech the
Tuesday evening before at Wernet's hall,
and to the pleasure he had of introduc-
ing Mr.. Wolf on that occasion, who was
a lawyeri in Cincinnati, of high standing
Mr.. Wolf had listened to the speech
of Judge West, and he picked to pieces
aud showed up the false statements and
deductions of West showed how the
Republican party had trampled upon
the Constitution and on justice; exposed
their narrow minded bgotry, and their
hostility to adopted citizens; referred to
the we'll known and admitted corrup-
ton of their administrations, and did
not forget John Sherman's schemes and
his pet banks, nor Fosters connection
with the Presidential fraud.
In fact Mr.. Wolf made most effective
speech, and was frequently interrupted
with applause.
The Democracy of Canton are under
obligations to Mr.. Wolf for his good SER
vices here. He was in Canton visiting
friends, and to attend the marriage of
his sister-in law.
We hope to have Mr.. Wolf visit us
again, when we can have more time to
work up rousing meeting.

Ex.JUDGE WEST spoke his piece of fall
sity and meanness to a few of the intense,
last Friday evening in the Opera House.
We learn he pronounced Ewing rebel,
Confederate or something of the sort
but did not state that he himself was not
in the Union army, nor did he much al
lude to the fact that he was Republican
candidate for Governor two years ago,
and was defeated by R, NJ. Bishop by
the small margin Of about 25,OOO major
ity. He is one of the sort that is bitter
as a viper.

The Minnesota Republicans, at their
State convention, declared, "that the
"time has come when some reduction
Should be made in the tariff, especially
"in the duties on clothing, on books, and
"such other articles as enter ia industrial
"and household economy" This would
seem to be drawing it mild, in getting
away from the principle Of protection,
but when the declaration is closely ex.
amined, it will be observed it is sweep
ing in its character. If the duties are
reduced on clothing and such other ar
ticles as enter into industrial and house
hold economy" there will be very little
left to protect.
