Sherman'S Fences!

Secretary Sherman ran over to his
home in Mansfield, Ohio, last week, to
look after his fences again. He
sounded what was perhaps intended as
his keynote in his campaign for the
Presidency. Mr.. Sherman always
speaks well, and his speech at Mans
field was worthy of-him. He assured
his friends that unless he is supported
in the Ohio delegation to the Chicago
Convention, with Substantial una
nimity," his name will not be men
TONED, il in the Convention. This state
ment was hardly necessary, as the
presentation of his name by a delega-
tion from his own State which could
be considered as wavering in support
of him, would be ludicrous. And for
this very reason, it is well for the Sec
retary to look carefully over the field
Of Ohio politics, and see what his
friends are doing. His political fences
have certainly been deprived Of the
stop rail- here and there, in various
portions Of the State, and the friends
Of the great Maine statesman are
climbing over, and counting the heads
Of Mr.. Sherman's ''live stock" 1t is
also an unquestionable fact that a con-
siderable portion Of this ''live stock
is escaping through the gaps made by
the Blaine marauders.
The Secretary and his followers be-
gin to perceive the great difficulty of
holding the Ohio delegation solidly
for Sherman, and the reasons given
by some Of Sherman's followers why
this should be done, are, to say the
least, unique. One of the principal
ones is that unless the Ohio delega-
ton stands by Sherman throughout
there will, after the first ballot, be g
general stampede of delegates tc
Grant, thus foisting the persistent
third-termer upon the party. Youl
Sherman man never admits that Sher
mans loss could be Blaine's gain
never. Yet Blaine is all that he fears
We are afraid that the great Secretary
will be compelled to stake-and-ride
his political fences.

John Sherman.

We see a great many articles in
our Republican exchanges like the
following, which we take from the
Holmes County Republican:
Can you produce better Republi-
can than John Sherman? Is there a
Republican who can refuse to vote
for him on party grounds? rs there
anything in John Shermans record
that you feel you will be called upon
to explain or apologize for, or that
can be assailed if he is nominated at
Chicago?
We claim to be pretty well posted
as to John Sherman's record, and we
admit that it is a very clean record.
Few men can take an active part in
public affairs during a quarter of a
century and come out with as consist

The House Committee on Elections
reported in favor Of remanding the
Washburn-Donnelly case back to
the people of the District for settle
ment by new election. If anything
were wanting to establish the utter
hellishness of the Democratic party,
this contested election" case would
90 far toward filling the word.
Washburn was elected over Donnelly
by about three thousand majority in a
fair and free election. The Demo-
cratic managers desired to prepare for
the possible contingency of the Presi-
Dental election being thrown into
the House, and the unseating of
Washburn and the seating of Donelly
would make the Minnesota delegation
Democratic. After a great deal of
Infamous work, the Democrats have
arrived at the wonderful conclusion
that there was no election. 1t
would be interesting to know just
how much of majority Mr.. Ignatius
Donnelly would have to be buried un-
der before he would acknowledge that
there had been an election. The sum
of the who.e matter is, that the Dem
ocratic managers wanted to steal Mr.,
Washburn's seat, and becam fright
ened lest the people would catch
them walking off with the goods.

est in those who suffered, nor the
cause they espoused and defended.
Ny first visit to Washington since
the Johnny Rebs have had control of
both Houses in Congress, was made
last week. The impressions made
upon my mind by what | heard and
saw in the House of Representatives
and elsewhere, filled me with utter
disgust, and forced me to look back
over the four years of terrible strife,
and loss of life, and suffering, and ask
myself what was it all for? Was it
to make treason respectable and 10y
atty odious? as a look into the House
of Representatives would now indi-
cate. | asked myself was the Union
worth saving? Was it right to de-
stroy and forever remove the system

naught but simply to crafty the

back no. So say | no, no. He who

His will, controls the nations of the

Secretary Sherman in Ohio.

Hon. John Sherman, who announces
himself a candidate for President,
came to Ohio last week to further his
interest in his native State. Secretary
Sherman is a member of Hayes Cabi-
net, and is the foremost man and most
positive force Of an Administration
pretending civil service reform. The
exact kind of reform pretended is;
that Federal office holders, shall not
interfere in politics. The shameless
hypocrisy of this pretense could not
be more forcibly illustrated than by
the appearance of a Cabinet officer in
Ohio, backed by the entire patronage
of the Government, electioneering for
himself for Pre- sident.-Toledo Sun

ParneH at Home!

Mr.. Charles Stuart Parnell, having
finished his labors in this country in
behalf Of the suffering poor Of Ireland,
and returned home, Americans natu-
rally turn in that direction, to note
how the great agitator is received at
home. A few days ago, Mr.. Parnell
attended meeting at Enniscorthy,
County Wexford, for the purpose of
opposing the candidate for Parlia-
ment. He made an imposing display,
having a procession and brass band
which his recent American tour made
it easy for him to employ.
When the agitator went upon the
stand, there was rush for him, and a
persistent attempt to pull him from
the stand. Several priests on the
stand attempted to fight off the mob
and one Of them was wounded by a
blow from a shillalah. The crowd
tore Parnell's clothes, stripped his
coat off, and shook him up quite live
ly in a general way. Armed police
finally got him to his hotel. How
humiliating it must have been to the
belligerant Parnell to be compelled to
accept protection at the hands of the
Government he has so persistently
abused! In future canvasses, Mr..
Parnell will not, perhaps, include En-
niscorthy in his list of appointments.

ent a record as can John Sherman;
yet his political opponents may find
many things in his political record
which will require explanation and
defense.
We know that the more enthusias-
tic of Mr. Sherman's friends urge his
nomination because, they say, he will
be sure to carry Ohio. Now we have
not the least doubt in the world that
any candidate yet named, Blaine,
Grant, Sherman, Washburne, Ed
munds, or any other true Republican,
can carry Ohio. We believe Sher-
man would be the weakest candidate
in Ohio of any of those named. This
may seem strange to many, but it is
true.
1t will be remembered that in the
year 1877, Judge West was badly
beaten for Governor. This was not
on account of any objection to the
candidate. It was not ON account of
any Republican voting the Democrat
ticket. 1t was caused by seventy five
thousand Republicans not voting.
They did not vote, because Judge
West was the candidate ON platform
which indorsed the policy of the
Hayes administration.
When President Hayes vetoed the
work of the rebel Congress, the Re-
publicans were pleased to seize that
good deed as pretext to say nothing
about the great political crimes which
he had committed, and Hayes and his
policy were substantially ignored.
Now some fool papers are talking
about the Hayes administration as a
fine thing, are even so imprudent as
to stick Hayes to the front. So far
as John Sherman's part Of the admin
istration is concerned, it has been
almost without blemish or mistake;
but how about the Indian crimes and
outrages committed by Carl Schurz,
Secretary of the Interior? And how
much protection does this administra-
ton extend to Republicans in the
rebel States? There is no country,
civilized or savage, where political
rights are so utterly ly crushed out as
they are in all the rebel States, under
the present administration. No one
will claim for one moment that any
member Of Congress from those States
is sent there by the legal voters.
Because this cruel despotism has 81
fenced all opposition, and all freedom
of political action, these fool news-pa-
pers are pointing to the Hayes policy
as having restored peace to the South.
Now there are at least one hundred
thousand Republicans in Ohio whose
blood boils with Indignation when
they think of this state of affairs, and
some of them will not vote for John
Sherman, unless he will do as Charles
Foster did last fall come out frankly
and confess that he was mistaken, and
will pledge himself to see that the
constitution and laws be obeyed, at
all cost. and all hazard.

The Local Option bill was taken up
in the Ohio House Of Representatives
last week, and was defeated. All the
Democrats except, perhaps, three,
voted against it, as also did some ff-
teen or more Republicans, and among
them Cole, from Scioto county, Paine
Of Jackson, and Beman of Gallia, vot-
ed for the bill.
People might just as we'll give up
all hope of aid in this matter from
legislation. It is said that one hun
dred and thirty thousand persons
petitioned the Legislature to pass this
law; but it did no good.

SOME fellow in Marietta brutally
beat the Assistant Editor of the Ma
rietta Register, whereat Bro. Alder
man gets mad Alderman does not
often get mad, but when he does, he
is not afraid to let his enemies know
it. 1t seems that the Register has
been throwing hot shot into the camp
Of the Democratic reformers Of the
goodly city of Marietta, which placed
some of the reformers aforesaid in a
resentful mood, and they determined
to thrash somebody. After consulta-
ton, they seemed to arrive at the con-
clusion that Alderman's Assistant
would be easier to thrash than Alder
man would. 1t is well they arrived
at this wise conclusion, for, as we be-
fore remarked, Alderman is mad. He
is not very large, physically; neither
is a wasp, but-ugh!

NINE men were hung last Friday,
in different parts of the country. At
Washington City a colored man was
hung for the murder of his wife.
When the drop fell the body fell to
the ground, and in a few seconds the
head fell from the moose, having been
torn from the body, the blood spurted
from the neck, and it being only a
'nigger," the good people Of Wash
ington had quite treat, and no doubt
enjoyed it exceedingly. 1t was almost
equal to duel or bull fight, for the
Southern chivalry.

THERE is considerable excitement
in Warren county, Ohio, about sup
posed murder. On farm near Sha-
kertown, the body Of a man was dis
covered buried in ditch. A man
was plowing, and thus discovered the
body. The clothing shows that it is
the body of a young man named VIM.
Lanning, who started from that neigh
borhood in the year 1875. A yong
named John Hardy started to take
Lanning to the station in a spring
wagon. Lanning had about $400 in
money when he started. Hardy has
been arrested.
