TWO VERY SICK REPUBLICANS
"SEND FOR THE DOCTOR"

TWO VERY SICK REPUBLICANS
"sEND FOR THE DOCTOR"
Judge Taft, a stalwart Of Cincinnati,
and Attorney General under Grant, tells
the Cincinnati Gazette "the Chicago
convention was the most corrupt aver
held in this country, and oceans Of mon
ey were spent" 1t would be interesting
to know who furnished, who paid, and
who received the money.
Hon. Job E, Stevenson, ex-member of
Congress of Cincinnati, writes a column
howl in the Commercial, from which
we quote the following:
The fact was notorious that Ohio was
in Chicago for a trade, offering up Sher.
man, but willing to "stop crying if she
could get either Garfield or Foster. This
was perfectly understood. The official
price Of the Ohio representatives was
as we'll known as the cash price of some
others, and the moral standing of OHIO
was fixed up accordingly; but she is the
0 Jtober state, and her vote was deemed
indispensable.
Therefore the stalwart hosts of Blaine
combined with the purest of New Eng.
land, and the civil service clans of Sher.
man and the miscellaneous stampeded
delegates who were frightened about
0hio-and so the convention fell into
the we'll laid snare, and nominated Gar.
field without a platform. So that he
stands out in bolt relief, with his record
as the platform of the party.
/ say without a platform, because it ia
now confessed that what was voted un-
der the name is without meaning-a
mere evasion of issues.
| shall say nothing of the merits or de.
merits of the candidate for President, be.
cause / would not if l could, weaken a
ticket which | may be constrained to
support as a choice of evils.
In justice to the party, however, it
should be stated that if the candidacy
of Garfield had been proclaimed for a
week-only a week before the Conven.
ton met, he never would have been
nominated.
This is true, because the controlling,
conservative elements which had the
balance Of power, had resolved that we
must not nominate a candidate whose
record would put the party on the de-.
f%ensive. And we all know the surprising
result, that the party has been placed
II that position exactly. The party is
already besieged, and afraid to look at
public documents, Il Il
You respect independence. Have l
not justified my right as an independent
citizen to refrain from ratifying the &C.
ton of the Chicago convention? l hold
to the opinion that the proceedings of
the Chicago convention are so far vita.
ted by fraud and legalized force, and by
the new departure" taken, that no one
member Of the old Union Republican
party is bound by the result. Each of
US is free to act as to him seems best.
We are RENTED to our individual re-
sponsibility.
Very respectfully,
JOB E. STEVENSON.

HENRY L. PIERCE of Massachusetts, is
a Republican of a different stripe from
Ga. field, With reference to the count
ing Of the Electoral vote of Louisiana in
1877 he said, as a member of Congress
during the count:
THAT gross fry uds were committed in
the canvass of votes is admitted, l be.
lieve, by both parties; and it is also ad.
mitted that the returning board acted,
in the discharge Of their duties, in an ar.
bitrary and illegal manner. If these are
not matters which the representatives of
all the people, authorized by the Consti
tuition to count the votes and declare the
result, can inquire into, then this Gov
eminent stands on a very insecure foun-
dalton | cannot give my assent to any
such declaration. 1t is contrary to good
government; it is contrary to good NOR.
ais; it tends to weaken the hold of the
Government upon the respect and con-
fdenCe of the people; and the party that
gets Office by its adoption will be a party
founded on a principle dangerous to the
perpetuity Of the Government"
Mr., Garfield declared that the repre-.
sentatives Of the people had no right to
inquire into those gross Frauds" and
that the man Hayes, who was never
elected, should be declared President in
spite of the overwhelming mass Of testi'
mony against his claim to the Office. Al
a visiting statesman" Garfield helped
engineer the Returning Board crime.

lot A MILITARY DOMINATION.

NOT A MILITARY NOMINATION..
Our esteemed Republican contempor-
aries are severely Criticising the nomin-
alton, by the Democrats, of a military
candidate for President.
But why have not the Democrats as
good a right as the Republicans, to nom
mate q military man2
Gen. Hancock fought and spilled his
blood on the side OF the Government,
and not for the rebellion.
And it should be borne in mind that
so far from being nominated as a mill
tary candidate, Gen. Hancock is brought
forward as the true champion of per-
sonal rights, and the ascendancy of the
civil power over the military in time Of
peace.
For two reasons, therefore, the criti-
cisms Of our Republican friends do not
hold good.
The Democrats have the same right as
the Republicans to nominate a military
man.
Gen. Hancock is not nominated as a
military man, but, pre- eminently, as a
civilian. IN. Y, Sun

Mr.. JOHN T. CLAMPETT, the only sur
viving attorney for Mrs. Surratt, said to
your correspondent that Hancock was
the best selection the Convention could
have made. "It is a splendid nominas
ton" said MI. Clampett, with emphasis,
land his part in the Surratt execution
will not affect him, as the General only
obeyed lthe order of his superiors, and
that is recognized by all well informed
Democrats. General Hancock was not
in the court room during the entire time
and on the morning Of the execution he
came into the P~enitentiary and was met
by me. Hancock said; i am carry
ing out the death sentence, and it is the
most painful act Of my life. l would
rather take the chances of the battle
field, but / am a soldier and must obey
orders"

GEN. HANCOCK continued to receive
congratulatory dispatches all day Friday
from all parts of the country. Many
were from Republicans who knew him,
and served with him in the army. Many
newspaper reporters called to see him,
and were received %courteously, but the
General declined to make any comments
upon his nomination, saying it would
not be proper for him to do so until after
he has been notified of his nomination

GENERAL SHERMAN declines to ex.
press an opinion on General Hancock's
nomination, but said he was an excel-

bers Of Sherman's staff speak in the

McCook, of the staff, said Hancock had
a pure record, and his connection with
Mrs. Surratt's execution was nothing
more than any other soldiers who was
obeying orders.

Received your telegram and many
others containing like information. My
action was we'll considered, and is ire
vocable. No friends must be allowed to
cast a doubt on my motives or my sin.
certify, SAMUEL ]. TILDEN.
After this nothing was left but to
abide by Mr.. Tilden's strongly expressed
and reiterated wishes The greatest, the
wisest, the best of men are mortal. Mr..
Tilden has given to his state and country
so much of his physical strength that it
would have been an inconsiderate, if not
a cruel act, to require him to endure the
burdens Of another campaign.
Mr.. Tilden's name, in future history,
will rank with those of Washington, JEFF,
%ferson, Madison, Jackson and Lincoln,
A truer and purer patriot is not to be
found among them all.
Mr.. Tilden served this state in the OF.
fee of Governor as it has been the for.
tune of no other mau since he was born
to serve it. He would have served the
country as President in the same way.
He was elected, but defrauded out Of the
office. Having been elected, he stead
lastly and sturdily refused, upon princi,
Pile, all invited brides to officers to make
true and correct returns.
Now, when there is no longer any oh.
ject to make sinister and libellous attacks
on Nj. Tilden, he will begin, for the first
time, to attain to the true honor and
fame which belong to him.
Few men 80 remarkable have been
born on the American Continent-whiGh
has given birth to some of the best men
of any country of all time.
MI. Tilden passes-not to the grave,
but to deserved, recuperative rest. His
is the rarest Of all fortunes-to enjoy at
onCe the fame of the noble dead with the
zest, the glow, the enthusiasm of, we
trust, a long continued rest. The AID.
ministration, the nation, will yet seek
his Counsels and profit by them. He
has richly earned his rich reward; and
all that loving troops of friends and 8
grateful country can confer upon him
will be his.-[N. Y. Sun, 25th ult.

SAMUEL j.

Now passes into history n more
name, to become classic and enduring,e en-
graved in ineffaceable characters, among
the loftiest and most admirable ofAmer'
lean Statement.
Of a delicate physical mould, modest
and retiring in disposition, but endowed
with a mind in%tuitively bent on vast
subjects, and grasping great public ques'
tons, Samuel ]. Tilden pursued a pecu'
liar course. Second to none in his inter
est in public affairs, he persistently re-
manned in private life until he saw diff
cultiej and essential work to be done,
which no one else had the combined in
te~lligence and courage to encounter.
We speak considerably when we say
that it required a much more uncommon
quality of moral courage to undertake
and conduct to success the warfare
against a corrupt bench, as accomplish
ed by Mr.. Tilden, than is requisite for
the most daring achievements on the
field of battle. 1t is the courage of calm
reflection and a self sacrifi cling spirit it
comes from a love of country and of JUS
tice superior to all love of self.
Mr.. Tilden had a hold upon the coun.
try possessed by no other man. He un.
doubtedly would have been renominated
had he not declined. We thought bis
d~eclination ought to have been dis
regarded by the convention. We
thought he should be put forwari again
as the candidate of the patriotic Democ.
racy, even if he "died in the harnes " in
consequence. But nearly every member
of the convention knew that Mr.. Tilden's
health was, Temporarily at least, greatly
impaired They were forbearing tow
ard one who had done so much at nee
for the party and the country.
Then it seems that GOV. Tilden's full
and magnificent letter of d%eclination
was supplemented at a very early hour
yesterday morning, before the nomina-
ton was made, by the following tele.

GOOD u TIcKET


Is an important element looking to sue
cess in Stark county. In this respect the
Democratic county convention last week
did q good days work. With the names
the convention had before them, a fail
ure was impossible. We doubt not the
ticket is satisfactory and acceptable, and
feel every confidence in its triumphant
election.
JOHN T. HAYS ESQ,
was renominated without opposition for
the Office oil Clerk of Courts. He has
filed the Office acceptaoly and faithfully,
giving assiduous attention to his duties,
and he should be continued another
term. No one will deny that he is fully
worthy.
MARION NJ KING ESQ
of Alliance, is our candidate for Auditor.
M. Kings popularity at home may be
Judged somewhat from the fact that he
is now serving his second term as City
Solicitor of Alliance and prior to that
time he served n term as Justice of
the Peace. This, at least, is evidence
that he stands well at home, and makes
a good certificate which will pass current
over Stark county. Those who know
Mr.. King will concede that he is just the
man to elect to the Auditors office.
GEORGE sT)yER
is a solid young farmer of ~thirty-fye or
so in Lawrence township, and just the
man to elect as County Commissioner,
to succeed Leonard Raber. Mr.. Slower
is a native of the county, a good bust
ness man, familiar with IL county af-
fairs, and the very mar to serve worth
lily as Commissioner.
LEWIS EssrG
of Plain township, is the candidate for
Infrmary Director, Mr., Essig is one of
the solid farmers of Plain township, a
man of sound judgment and careful pru-
dence, and would properly guard the af.
fairs of the county if elected to the posi-.
ton. All who know Lewis Essig appre-
Ciate his worth.
