Frank Mckinney, chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Committee,
made brief speech after Ewing conclu'
ded, and is thus reported:
"He advised his hearers that the Re-
publicans had large official resources to
draw upon, and that they were so well
organized that they had list of all Dem
ocrats in Fairfield county who were un.
able to take papers. Eo had evidence
that the Republicans were spending
much money among Democratic voters.
The Democratic Committee had not the
means necessary to counteract this plan,
but they depended on the Democrats to
come up in complete organization. With
this and rigid enforcement of the Seitz
law, he believed the Democrats would
win by not less than 10000 majority. A
thorough enforcement of the Seitz law,
he believed, might send both Ewing and
Foster to Columbus next January, plaC
ing Ewing in the Gubernatorial chair,
and surrounding Foster with circumstan-
Ces over which he would not have con-

LooKINa AT THE TNQUEsT.

The Congressional Committee TO in
vestigate into the elections Of 1873 here
in Cincinnati has already developed
some important facts and may yet run
against some more. ap
II has brought to light for the first
time the names of Deputy Marshals who
were appointed and paid by the General
Government to carry the district for the
Republican candidates.
The Chief Marshal has testified that
he appointed them all from the Repub-
lican party because he wanted "honest
men," and he doubted his ability TO find
honest men among the Democrats. Who
were these menP
Itturns out that three or four of these
''honest men" had before been indicted
and tried for killing other men,, That
others of the number had been charged
with theft and other crimes. That 9th.
ers have for years been notorious as
ward bummers and disreputable citizens
generally. That all, or nearly all, were
bad lot, and disgrace to the Office
they held.
It turns out that they we're instructed
to keep their official characters secret,
and to carry out the orders OF the Mar
shal without any one but themselves
knowing that they had authority to do
30. 1t was Star Chamber proceeding
entirely.
1t turns out that they were massed in
the Democratic wards OF the city, while
Republican wards were not favored with
their presence at all.
1t turns out that they were removed
from wards in which they lived into
other wards, and into the Congressional
districts in which they had no residence.
This was not for the purpose of secur
ing an honest election. No fair minded
man who reads the testimony will be-
lieve that it was for any such purpose.
Il was simply to carry the city for the
Republicans
Instead Of being for the protection OF

1t was to fasten this plan of holding

The present editor of the National

former editor OF that paper, Mr.. Hick,
the cranky ecceutric, is crazy, because
he has come out i'or Ewing for Governor.

orthodox Greenbacker, but to outsiders
it is the same old craze which afflicts all

In last weeks DEMOCRAT we neglected
to notice, editorially, the Republican
nominees for Prosecuting Attorney and
Infrmary Director. These nominees
are Mr.. Henry W. Harter of Canton, and
William Barber also of Canton. It was
an oversight, entirely, for we did not in.
tend to slight our friends. Mr.. Barber
has served as Infrmary Director for
many years, off and on, and has been
standing candidate of the old Wing
party and the Republican party for forty
or fifty years.
AS for Mr.. Harter, he has not as yet
made place at the Bar. He was not
nominated, therefore, on account Of his
status as a lawyer, for he has not yet
given evidence. 1t may be in him, but
it has not yet been demonstrated. 1t
has been matter of speculation why
Mr.. Harter was nominated over lawyer
of experience, and who had claims upon
his party for recognition.

and addressed him thusly:

you must have been drunk when you
made your remarks at Lancaster, Thurs
day evening last. What have you to re-.
mark concerning the matterP
McKinney-I suppose Mr.. Foster was
partially in his right mind when he
made that remark, if he made it; but he
based his opinion on wrong information.
What l said was this: "Both the prom.
inent candidates will have chance to
get situation at Columbus. We expect
to place our candidate in the Gubernator.

the Seitz law, and if it is enforced, may

BECOMING DIsGUsTED,

Hayes's favors to the "visiting states
men" and others, whohelped to steal the
Presidency for him, are becoming ofen-
sive to sensitive Republicans. and they
are beginning to protest. The Iowa State
Register thus expresses its sentiments on
the subject
cortland Parker, who is to be the
new Minister to Russia, Was one of the
visiting statesmen to Louisiana, 1t ia
hoped that some day all that lot of men,
even to the last one of them, who went
down and braved all the dangers and
hardships of the first.class hotels Of
New Orleans, with their bills paid, to as
sist in dismantling the Packard Govern.
ment, and setting up the illegal Nichols
government on it's ruins, may get an Of
fee. They all ought to have it during
this Administration. ForIt is not likely
that there will be another Administra-
ton in the next thousand years that
will pay off such men for such work. It
is right they should be paid now, and we
trust the last of the long roll has already
been nearly reached. We hope this,
partly on account of the visiting states

WE don't know which to admire most;
the cheek Of the REPOSITORY OF Stark Co.
Democrat. Both of them garble our edi-
torial on Sam Cary, the former to mis-.
represent us, and the latter to manufac-
ture compliment to Cary from an ar
raignment for his political dishonesty.
The substance of what we did say was,
that while Cary was anything but a lu-
natic, yet he possessed all the qualifca-
tions of an arrant demagogue and polit-
iCal knave. Our Canton neighbors Wo'd
have honored themselves, and shown
respect for decent journalism in quoting
our article as we gave IL, or at least re-
Trained from garbling it to suit their pri-
vate purposes. The Repository and Dem.
oOrat "are not fools" nor "lunatics," but
as to their other peculiar political char
acteristics, were we to put them and Sam
Cary in bag and shake them together,

come out frst.-AlIiance Reviea0.
The Review man has evidently some
feeIinks on the question. 1t was natural
to suppose that the Review, an ardent
greenback. Hayes-John Sherman organ
would feel like complimenting Sam Cary.
Cary has not mixed his greenbaCkism
with John Shermanism, and hence, prob
ably, the disgust of the Review. Cary
has been at least somewhat consistent.

FOSTER INSULTS THE OHIO MI
LITIA.

During the sitting of the Ohio Repub-
liCan State Convention at Cleveland in
1877, in the midst of the great railroad
strike, a dispatch was sent in cypher to
Hayes, through the Signal Office, of
which the following is said to be literal
copy:
"The city is in danger. The militia
cannot be trusted. Send us 900 regu.
lars"
This dispatch was signed by G. W.
Rose, Mayor of Cleveland, ]. A. Garfield
]. D. Cox, CHARLES FOSTER and
Stanley Matthews.
Imbued with the Republican idea that
the people cannot be trusted with the
protection of the Government, and the
enforcement of the laws, and that the
sole reliance of men of large property, of
the "rich and well born" in time of peril
is the hired soldiery of the Government,
the Republican leaders of Ohio sent the
dispatch we have given, casting the un.
just imputation upon the Ohio National
Guard, of being disloyal to the State,
aud in sympathy with rioters and law
breakers Youngstown VIndicatOr.

\ NEW prMocnArEc ORGAN.

, The Democrats Of Muskingum county
have been for some lima demanding a
daily paper to be run in their interests
and during the last few days three young
Democrats have been engaged in setting
up new organ. Muskingum county,
although Democratic by about five hun.

has caused great dissatisfaction. The
