WE have an idea that ticket compos.
ed of Blaine, Garfield and Sherman
would sweep the country like Kansas
whirlwind-Blaine for President, Gar
field for Vice President, and Sherman
to stay where he is. 1t will be seen that
Ohio has a majority on this ticket, and
that is the main object.-Repository
Has the Repository fairly abandoned
long John Sherman? Mr.. Sherman is a
candidate for the Republican nomina'
ton for the Presidency, and this thing
of showing him aside, as the Rep does
above, for Blaine and Garfield, with the
doubtful sop that "he stay where he is,"
will not be relished by Mr.. Sherman and
his earnest friends. We wonder if "the
young Napoleon" has abandoned sher-
man, and joined the Blaine movement.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT AssOCI
ALTON,

ALUM
EDITOR DEMoCRAT-Permitm me through
the medium of your paper to call the
attention of our citizens, who favor the
erection of a Soldiers Monument, to the
law passed last winter, requiring the As.
Bessors of 1880 in counties having Mon.
ument Association, or which may here.
after have such Association, to take an
enumeration of all soldiers and sailors
who died during the late war.
The law provides that the Assessors
who will be elected this year, shall make
thorough enumeration ofsuCh deceased
soldiers and sailors. This enumeration
is to be taken but once and if this oppor-
tunity is allowed to pass unimproved, it
is not likely 80 complete roll will ever
be made out.
The names thus collected will be re-.
corded in suitable book by the County
Recorder, at the expense of the State.
The law furthermore provides, that any
county not having such an Association
can obtain the benefits of the law by or.
ganizing such an association, and notify.
ing the County Auditor of the fact. There
is no time to be lost, as it is necessary
that the Auditor have time to repare
the necessary blanks.
For the purpose oftaking the initiatory
steps toward organizing Stark County
Monument Association, there will be a
public meeting at Harter's Hall, on Sat.
urday evening, March 18th. All favora.
Bile to the movement are expected to be
present. Meeting to open promptly at s
o'clock. Our COUNTRY.

TILDEN IN OHIO.
He Is The Tlvorlto CANDIDATE Of It's Dsnoorac

He Is the FaVOElte Candidate Of It's Democracy.
A Democratic politician Of national
reputation, who has just made an exten'
sive tour through the State, was met
yesterday by representative of the En-
quirer, who questioned him closely as to
the Presidential preferences Of the Dem
ocrats, he had met in his travels. Said
the gentleman "During the past ak
weeks l have met three.fOurths of the
Democratic party in Ohio, and hundreds
OF its rank and file, and l have found
that the supporters Of Samuel j. Tilden
outnumber those of any other candidate
five to one. The feeling that, having
been swindled out of the Presidency
once through the imbecility, if not abso'
Lutte treachery of his managing friends
in Congress, he is in honor entitled to
the privilege Of naking the race again
is 80 strong that it overrides the preten
sions Of all other claimants. Here in
Hamilton county Mr.. Tilden's friends ag'
gregate nine to one over those of any
other Democrat l have found in trav.
cling, that the active opposition to Mr.
Tilden was confined mainly to lot oI
sore heads who have not been able ia
bleed him, or to induce him to make
promises that would result to their ad'
vantage if he would be elected,-Bnqtti

THE Washington Post of last week,
under the caption of "Mr. Tilden as a
candidate" printed this information,
which no doubt is substantially correct:
"At a meeting of the prominent friends
of Mr.. Tilden, held in New York last
Saturday, the declaration was made by
that gentleman that he would without
doubt be candidate for the Democratic
nomination. During the last six months
reports have reached us from time to
time, and from the most authentic sour
ces, that Mr.. Tilden contemplated vol.
untary but decided renunciation Of such
honors, but we. have no reason to doubt
that whatever may have been his inten'
tions or purposes, he is now resolved to
ask for a nomination. 1t was due his
friends, who might desire to attach them
selves to other candidates in the event
of his withdrawal from the race, that he
should come to an immediate and posi-
tive decision, and this, we are informed
on unquestionable authority, he has
done"

BLAINE "CAN'T CARRY OH1o."-While
we shall sincerely support Mr., Blaine il
he is nominated, we are constrained to
say we do not now believe he can carry
Ohio. 1t will be a great misfortune to
the Republican party to nominate any
man whose record will compel his party
to enter upon a defensive campaign at
the start. We freely admit all the en-.
comiums the ardent friends Of Senator
Blaine bestow upon him. but we would
regard his nomination with most serious
apprehension.-DaytOn Journal, Rep.
Many Republicans think likewise. Mr.
Blaine was Speaker of the House during
the era of plunder and Grantism, and
packed all the committees to suit. His
record will lose him Ohio and New
York will beat him bad.

GRANT CAN'T WIN.-Sherman or Blaine
could carry Indiana and New York, or
at least have chance of so doing. Gen.
Grant could not touch either State with
a hag-pole. Pennsylvania, even, with
its 10000 Republican majority, would
not be safe if Grant should be the nomi-
nee. Neither Wisconsin. Grants name
would not add a single element of power
to the ticket in any State where the Re
pnblicans have any hope at all. Should
Grant be nominated he will be elected if
hard work, aided by Providence, can do
it. If Blaine or Sherman is nominated,
either could be elected. These are our
sentiments on the Grant question, and
we don't care who knows them. .-RepoS

The Republican quarrel at Albany,
New York, is fierce. The contest is be.
tween the machine and anti machine
Republicans over Smyth, the Superin.
tendent of Insurance. Gov. Cornell had
sent In Smyth's name to the Senate
for confirmation for a third term but
learning he would not be confirmed,
he withdrew the name, intending just to
leave Mr.. smyth in, The anti.machine
Republicans now intend to remove
Smyth by concurrent resolution, unless
the Governor sends in another name for
ieonrfmation. The Albany Express is the
Cornell machine organ, and the EUening
Journal, the old organ ofthe party, oppo-
ses the State administration, and espous.
es the side of the majority in the Senate.
II Is only another phase of third term
and anti-thlrd term. The quarrel is as.
Stunning proportions not contemplated at
the outset. In fact there is open war at
Albany in the happy family.

THE sAMMETT TRIAL,

For the murder of Christopher SpuhleI
at Massillon, on the evening of the 25th
of last November, came to a close last
Saturday evening, having occupied the
attention of the Court from the after.
noon Of the Monday previous. In last
weeks DEMOCRAT we gave the chief part
of the testimony for the State, the bal.
ance being merely corroborative. Ex.
Coroner Anderson testified to interview.
ing Sammett in the city prison the same
evening, and that Sammett admitted
having been with deceased that evening
as late as half past five o'clock; of being
with him at Traphagan's livery stable
and other points. When asked where
he left deceased, he said on Chestnut
street, near Jerry Howald's, near seven
o'clock or little after. The place and
time coincide with the occurrence of the
murder. Leonard Smith, living near
the place of the murder, was the first
person out, and he saw young Spuhler
crossing the street and fall on his face.
Smith looked at the face to see who it
was, and soon got help and a doctor.
Spuhler, when seen by Smith, was com.
ing from the direction of the Sibila sta
BILE, from which Sammett went to the
house where he lived, and Coolly deposi.
ted his revolver. with its empty chamber.
The defence produced no contradictory
testimony, but had witnesses to prove
previous good character. Judge Mey-
er's charge to the jury will be found in
this paper, and is document we'll worth

The Chicago Times thinks two things
are now apparent about the Presidential
situation, to wit: the general tendency
towards the nomination of Grant and
Tilden by the Republican and Demo.
cratic conventions. The Times attributes
the probable nomination of Grant to the
power of the Cameron Conkling. Logan
machine, and alleges the Republican
masses are against. it wherever they
have been consulted. This is correct,
but they are not strong enough to over
come the machine.

THAT sEvENrY-F1vE DoL1A1

LhAL Sh EN- LIZ FIVE DOLLARS,
A short time since there was gather.
ing of IDfrmary Directors at Columbus,
invited thither by the Board of State
Charities. We understand there was a
good attendance from all over the State,
and for two days or so the gentlemen no
doubt enjoyed themselves. The In6rm-
ary Directors Of Stark county, we learn,
were on hand, and no doubt took hand.
Such public spirit is Commendable in
public officers.
Itseems our Infrmary Board required
Superintendent Cromar to pay each
member of the Board twenty-five dol
lars out of the Infrmary fund, for ex.
penses for the trip, making seventy FIVE
dollars in all. The proper tribunal to
pass upon that bill would have been the
County Commissioners. No doubt if the
bill had been proper the Commissioners
would have allowed it. We doubt the
propriety and legality of Infrmary Di.
rectors paying themselves in this way
for such trip. In time we may learn
more of the affair, and have more to say.

SENATOR BAYARD addressed the Senate
Tuesday in favor of the bill for the re.

show that civil and military courts were

at all times inquire into the acts of the
military court. The assertion, that the
President has no constitutional power to
review the decision of court martial ipl
according to Mr.. Bsyard, contrary to thS
