CoRRUPTING ELECTIONS.
How Il Ia Beginning TO Strike the bet
ter Class Of Republicans.

ter Glass OF Republicans.
Col. Forney in the late number OF the
Progress puts John Welsh, of Philadel'
phis, on the stand to take look in the
glass after the election. We quote:
The sentiment Of the better class Of
Republicans against the successful bri'
berry and purchase Of the suffrage is TAX
ing a material shape, as honest rt fec
tion awakens q just remorse, and there
fore am not surprised to find this para
graph in the Philadelphia North Anlert
can, originally appearing in the Spring
field Republican,;
From the Springfield Republican,
"DANGRRs OF CAMPAIGN WITH
MoYEY.-We coddle voters too much.
In place of public discussions of current
issues, whereby men are educated 10 the
conscientious discharge of political du
ties, drummers and hacks, and money
are now used to move men to the sup
port of parties and candidates. A shift
less and venal class are being trained to
sell themselves to the highest bidder,
and corruption of suffrage on broad
scale progresses in moral Massachusetts
1t is something that American citizen
ship ia purer than is the ballot of Eng'
land, but the extent to which the blot
on our electoral system is spreading,
makes Just cause for serious alarm
Great funds for election purposts are a
menace to public virtue, aud rich Chris
tians who give CT ecks to the Republican
party as they do to the American board,
are assisting in debauching the ballot"
The organized crusade of capital
against labor began with the Democratic
victory of the Maine election in Septem'
ber, and to Hon John Welsh the whole
credit of that crusade belongs 1t was in
view of that crusade, and the result upon
the fortunes of General Hancock, chat
the Springfield Republican wrote the pre-.
test which the Philadelphia North Amert-
can has indorsed. Till John Welsh gave
the word, there was every prospect of
free and fair election.
Below are the words of John Welsh
by him signed, and sent broadcast over
the land and now, in the calm light OF
reason, reprint them as part of a most

and the putty of elections. If this move
ment does not look to the empire o.
money, it is clear advance in that cleo
ton When sovereign States are openly
bought with money, on the advice of
great Christian leader, there is ar end to
all honest government, state, municipal
and federal. As # conscious of the effect
of this most shameless example the pious
John Welsh promises not to reveal the
guilty secret of the men willing to bribe
the American voter

AN IMPRESSIVE ADDRESS.
nF

General Garfield Talks to the Students
of Hiram College.
Gen. Garfield recently attended the
commencement at Hiram College and
thus spoke to the students of the institu-
ton of which he was the former presi-
dent:
Fellow citizens, neighbors and
friends of many years: 1t always has
given me pleasure To come here and
look upon these faces; it has always
given me new courage and new friends.
1t has brought back large share of
that richness that belongs TO those
things out of which come the joys of
life. While ! have been sitting here
this afternoon, watching your faces and
listening to the very interesting address
which has just been delivered, it has oc-
Cured to me that the best thing you
have, That all men ENVY mean all
men who have reached the meridian of
lite-is perhaps the thing you care for
least, and that is your leisure, the leisure
| you have tO think; the leisure you have
to throw the p!ummet around the depths
and find what is below; the leisure you
have to work about the towers of your
selves and find how strong they are or
how weak they are, and to determine
what needs building up, and how 10
shape it that you may be made the final
being that you are to be. OH these
hours of buildingi II the superior be.
Ings of the universe would look down
upon the world to find the most interest
ing object il would be the unfinished,
uniformed character of young men and
of young women.
Those behind me have probably in the
main settled such questions. Those who
have passed into middle manhood and
middle wonIanhood are about what they
shall always be, and there is little left OF
interest or curiosity as to our develop
ment; but tn your young, Uniformed ma
lures no man knows the possibilities
that lay treasured up in your hearts and
intellccts, and while you are working
up those possibilities with that splendid
leisure you are the most envied by al
classes of men and women in the world
l congratulate you IN your leisure:
commend you 10 keep ii as your gold, a:
your wealth, as your means, out of which
you can demand all the possible treas
ures that God laid down when He formeC
your nature and unveiled and develepet
the possibility of your future.
This place is too full of memories 70
me to trust myself to speak upon, and
will noti but to draw again to-day as
have for a quarter of II century evidence
of strength and affection from the pee
pie who gather in this place, and thanl
you for the permission TO see you an,

The message of president Hayes, veto
ing the marshals' bill, as passed by the
Democratic majority in congress, will
be found elsewhere ia tLis paper. 1t
sets forth in clear and satisfactory
manner the reasons of the chief eNccu-
tive for his action, which, We believe,
will be sustained by all Republicans
whose sense Of justice and patriotism
have been outraged by the efforts of a
Bourbon congress to weaken the effect of
Sthe present election laws, and, by the
annSsiicn to the immediate deficiency
appropriations bill Of partisan riders, 10
open up the way for repetition of those
fraudulent metia0ds at the polls by
which It was sought ~ elevate the Dem
ocracy to power in 1910. By'persisiing
in its Andersonville pOiisy. congress has
kept the marshals out of their pay foI
another year, but there are eGongh pa
triots in the Republican party to guard
the purity of the ballot box, even in de-
fault of payment, and the desperate
gamo of the Democrats TO throw down
those lawful barriers which hedge tho
polls against repeaters, tissue ballot vot
. ers, and other Bourbon agencies, ha,
been blocked by wholesome Repuhli

AxsrHER CALCULATING PRODIGY.

There lately came to France young
Italian who has the singular faculty of
making very long and complicated men,
tai calculations. He was presented mt
the last seance of the Society d'Anthrop-
ol0gic He is . small boy of ten or
eleven, of intelligent look, the head
large, but not specially remarkable, the
forehead rather prominent. Among
various calculations he wasked to make
was this: Multiply 400. 246 by $780,
O6S. The operation took him two min
utes, and then he gave the exact result.
While he is calculating people go on
talking near him without his being
hindered. According to his explana-
tions, the process ne employs is wholly
empirical, and resembles that of Mon
deaux, the celebrated calculator. He
commences with the large figures, and
to the base thus obtained he adds the
result of the multiplication of the
smaller figures. CuriOusly this boy can
neither read nor write, and it is only
short time since he got to know figures.
He even says since he got TO learn them
he has calculated much easier than be-
fore. The person who presented him TO
the society had found him few months
ago accompanying an organ grinder, and
astonishing the frequenters of cafes by
his powers of calculation.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The backbone of president Hayes is
siill there.
The grandfather of Garfield came
from Wales. So says the Champion
The senatorial shoes u: Mr.. Garfield
nov cover the only two feet of debatable
official territory in the United States of
Ohio.
The Democratic congress propose To
fight it out on the Andersonville line if
it starves all the deputy marshals in the
country.
If the over-zealous friends of the ISL
lent man" could only learn To emulate
his reticence. il would be vastly TO their
credit as Republicans.
The Wanego Tribune. il is said. is
grooming Tom Anderson AS the dark
horse of the gubernatorisl rare in Kan
sas. This is certainly important, If
true
AT the time of the nomination for
vice president, Gen. Arthur was the
most prominent candidate in New York
for the United States senate TO succeed
Senator Herman
The only danger of division in the Re
publican ranks is, that Mr.. Garfield may
bring suit for libel against the enter
prising and patriotic journals that have
been publishing wood cuts Of his really
handsome face.
The Kansas City Times makes a mo-
ton for decent and truthful campaign
We know of no person who can exercise
such a wide personal influence in the di
rection of such departure as the politi
cal editor of that paper.
Every Independent paper worthy OF
the name in the country has endorsed
heartily the nomination of Garfield and
Arthur. Such unanimity among the Op
ponents of Democracy has rarely been
witnessed since the Republican party
WAS formed
