sENATOR HARTSHORN AND THE
DIVISION OF WAsHNTON TOWN
SHIP.
The Hartshorn, Mt. Union humbug in
the Senate succeeded in getting his bill
to divide Washington township into two
election precincts, through this humbug
Republican, Foster Legislature, thus re-
quiring he taxpayers to pay two times a
year for two election boards instead OF
but one. The people of the township
we're largely opposed to it; as was
shown before the Commissioners of the
county, when the attempt was made a
year or so ago to have them divide it.
There was no good reason for this divis
ion, except the Hartshorn reason. The
to wnship is level in the main, well pro-
vided with roads, with no running
streams of water to interfere, and no
towns of any size entitled to considera-
ton. Freeburgh may have half dozen
houses and Mount Union, on theWash
ington side of the line, may have a doz
en- or two. BY the division, there are
voters in the Mount Union precinct who
will have a greater distance to travel in
order to deposit their votes, than they
did before. We doubt not that more
votes will be thus inConvenienCed than
there are honest voters in Mount Union
accommodated by the division. The
political Hartshorns may have more
power in this way, and may sue
ceed in voting more students from Penn
sylvania and other distant localities.
When the Till was first introduced
Senator Pond denounced it, saying he
did not believe in such legislation tina
it was all wrong; County Commissioner
had full power to form new election pre-
CinCts, and were the proper authority
The local authorities knew the wants
of the people in their own county, anC
the Legislature ought not to be troubled
with such matters. Senator Pond prob
ably was not aware that it was more
Hartshorn question than anything else
that in every honest sense the measure
as an act of the Legislature, was mer,
personal question. 1t had failed befOr,
the County Commissioners; and although
the Board of Commissioners had Re
publican majority, Senator Hartshorl
would not trust them. He cared not Il
submit the case to a body of fair mel
who would investigate, and act in ac
cordance with justice and the wants ant
wishes of the people. He could bull

Snyder helping in the House, when h

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.

The Steubenvllle Herald remarks that
franklin county secures seven out OF
the 55 trustees for the state benevolent
and reformatory institutions, or about
one eighth of the whole. Pretty good
for single county and Democratic one
at that" In this connection the Rep0Si.
torn wishes to say that Gov. Foster, in
making up the new Board of Trustees
for the Cleveland Insane Asylum, seleC'
ted tUo members of that Board from Lo'
rain county, and not even one from
Stark. When the facts are considered,
that Stark has nearly double the popu-
lation of Lorain, and nearly double the
quota of patients in the institution, this
act of Gov. Foster looks like an injnstice
to Stark The law provides that tDO #
the Board shall be taken from the coun
ty in which the institution is located,
implying that but one should be taken
from any other county in the district.
Besides, Stark has for many years been
represented on the Board, and if Mr.. Nc
Gregor, recent member from this coun-
ty, was not satisfactory to the Governor,
land We see no reason why he might
not be), surely another Stark county
man could have been found to fill his
place. .-Repo8itory.
Stark county is the second county in
population in the district, ranking next
to Cuyahoga. Lorain, too, it should he
remembered, has the superintendent;
but, perhaps, as Rip Van Winkle would
say, we'll not count this.
We would remind the Repository that
A. McGregor has served but two years
on tle Board; and was quite willing to be
relieved. We were in hopes, however,
that Stark county would continue to be
represented on the Board.

DENNIS KEARNEY was on Monday ta-
ken to the House of Correction in San
Francisco, there to serve out the sem
tence imposed on him. He donned his
convict garb, had his hair shaved, and
was assigned his quarters and oCcupa
ton. This is well. Dennis deserved
his punishment, but his crime is by no
means so great as that Of polluting and
corrupting the law.making power of a
great commonwealth in a conspiracy to
defraud the public treasury. 1t remains
to be seen how this last offence will be
punished in Pennsylvania. a.-Pitts. Post

In speaking of the possible ALI
ances in the next state campaign
the Nashville Herald, speaking of
the republicans, says: "Would
they ally themselves with the low
tax democrats That is not i'm
possible, if even improbable
We take issue with the Herald
on this point. Not only is it not
probable, but is also impossible.
The republican party never has been
party of reputation, and never
will. The republicans of Tennessee
will not, as long as the heavens are
above the earth, ally themselves,
for the sake of temporary power,
with crowd-we can not call it a
party whose sole and avowed OBJ
ject is to smirh the good name Of
our proud old state with the in-
effacable stain of reputation.
Never will any man of this crowd
of political thieves ride into power
on the shoulders Of republican
voters. Better eternal defeat than
victory gained at such cost.
The CHRONICLE never will sup,
port a man for governor in whose
platform a reputation plank finds
resting place, be he nominated by
republican convention or not. If
the issue should come between
low tax republican candidate and
high-tax democrat, it would not
hesitate for one instant to support
to the full extent of its power the
honest democrat, and in this we not
only express our own ideas, but re-
feet the sentiments of the republi>
cans of East Tennessee. Should
such mongrol combination of OPP
poSite principles be made that the
Herald speaks of, it could not car
ny East Tennessee, Notwithstanding
its large republican majority. Nor
do we expect such an amalgama-
ton. The leaders and the voters of
the republican party Of this state
are too honest, too patriotic, too
wise to permit such circumstances
to arise.

ate would stand, SO democrats, 30
republicans, and 2 independents,
Since the issue on which they
were carried last year is to be re-
vived, it is reasonable to assume
that the republicans will hold their
present majority in New Jersey and
Connecticut and send two republi>
cans to represent them in the place
of Randolph and Eaton. The SEN
ate would then stand, 81 democrats,
81 republicans, and 2 independents.
To carry any party measure, it
would require the vote of both
these Independents. Davis would
most likely vote with the demo-
Gratis and Malone, whose desire it
is to do anything to disintegrate
bourbonism, would be likely to vote
with the republicans, and thus the
vice president would cast the de-
Gliding vote.
Furthermore, since that will-o'-
the wisp, greenbackism, which led
off SO many republicans, has been
eliminated from Indiana politics,
there is a chance for the republicans
to carry that legislature, and thu
seat that is now filled by demo
crat would be occupied by one o
Morton's household. This woulc

RAISING situation of seeing thu

will show in the next election how
