AT Shelbyville, Ind, on Monday, at
the municipal election, the Republicans
attem ted to vote newly imported ne
groes. The Democrats determined that
no negro should vote unless he was a
legal voter. Several attempts we're made
by the Republicans, and in the after.
noon they threatened violence unless a
negro was allowed to vote. The Demo-
Gratis, however, stood firm, and were not
to be bulldozed by the lawless Republi-
can element, and gave them plainly to
understand that this negro pet was one
of gang Of imported voting cattle. The
negro finally left the polls, and publicly
said he did not want to vote anyhow,
but he had been Coaxed to attempt the
act by Republicans, who assured him he
would not be prosecuted. A Republican
bHlly named Kennedy srmed with a
club, slipped up behind E. D. Amsden,
county treasurer, and struck him a heavy
blow on the head. The jured man

THE ALLEGED ELECTION FRAUDS

THE ALLEGED ELECTION FRAUDS.
Senator Wallace in behalf Of a major.
ity of the Senate select committee on al.
legged frauds in the late elections, etc.,
has submitted to the Senate special re-
port concerning political assessments. 1t
says:
The whole sum received by the Repub'
lican committee in the summer and tall
of 1873 from federal officials was $93, 600,
and the whoe sum received from other
sources was $4,000, making the cam,
paign fund of the Republican National
Committee amount to $l06,000. Persons
were sent into nearly every executive
department of the United States with
the knowledge of the beads thereof, to
obtain money from the clerks and other
employees, and the books in which sub.
sCriptions we're made were headed in
several instances by the chief of the de-
partment before its presentation to the
subordinates. When there seemed to
be neglect of first circular, or those
agreeing to give we're slow in payment,
other circulars were sent to them. This
mode of obtaining money for political
purposes was also adopted and carried
on in 1876. An order against assessing
clerks Is issued, but it is followed by a
circular from the head of the political
organization in sympathy with those
who hold the power to dismiss frJm
employment the persons who do not pay
when called upon, which asks for money
from them for poliliCa! purposes, They
are visited by an agent of the party dur
ing business hours, under the eyes of
their superiors whose names head the
list, and they thus voluntarily" sub
scribe. Your committee think that the
statute of 1875 is in practice a dead let
ter, and respectfully report for adoption

In recent speech by Congressman
Ladd of Maine, that gentleman speaks
in high praise of the prohibitory law in
that state, in its tendency t. promote
moral reform. Mr.. Ladd gives an array
of facts that are worthy of consider ton
in this connection. He shows that in
the state in 1860 but AZ criminals were
sentenced to the State prison in 1877
the number was 49, nearly doubled. In
1850 but 40 criminals were sept to the
county jais; in 1877 the number was
l64, more than quadrupled. The num-
Der of patients in the Insane Asylum
Was doubled, taking these years for com
carlson. In 1860 less than $40 indict
ments were found. In 1877 they were
swelled to the enormous number of
26l. Every fortieth voter was a crimin.
al. In Bangor, the home of Mr.. Ladd
in 1860 there were 824 paupers, support
ed at an expense of $1,000, while in 1877
the number was 1885, costing the city
1926 900. One in eleven of the entire pop.
ulation was a pauper. This is painful
exhibit, but it does not tell the whole
truth, as the Boston Post points out. The
tide of emigration of business men, es-
pecially of the younger of the portion,
male and female, from Maine, has been
a very marked feature of the last fifteen
years. 1t is believed the population of
the state is at stand still, or, deduct ng
foreign emigration, is decreasing.

AT the election on Monday in Canton,
six Republicans were elected by Demo-
cratic votes, and one Democrat (Shields)
by Republican votes. The motives that
aCtuated our Democratic friends in 80 vo'
ting were no doubt various, Political
opinions had nothing to do with their
act on. These were set aside and other
motives ruled. Our Republican friends
hold their forces better in hand, and
rarely allow of such results where they
are in the ascendant. We cannot see
good and sufficient grounds for the most
of this result in Canton. 1t looks as if
some of our friends permitted them
selves to be wheedled and fooled, and
thus used to iDjure the Democratic par
ty. Political opinions should be better
fitting garments than all this indicates.
Such defeats injure the party and cause
The Republicans elected were not men
of superior merit and qualifications. In
fact-compared with their Democratic
opponents they are less worthy. By a
full and free comparison between the
opposing candidates, we Coud easily
show the superiority of the Democrats,
in most instances. Even in these local
elections it should be remembered it is
the two political parties that are the
candidates and it never should be for.
gotten that the Democratic party being
the candidate, should not be stabbed by
its friends.

Ex-E,QUIRE Slanker, nominated by
the temperance party for Justice of the
Peace, carded the public ast Friday
through the Rep. declining the honor; say
ing he labored for the Caus' of temper
ance through the medium of the RePuo'
lican party" &c He also says, Il point
as an instance, that the King local op'
ton bill would have passed the House
at c lumbus this week, had there been
few more Republicans or few less
Democrats in that body" He don't
think there is any necessity for bringing
temperance into politics, as a separate
and independent cause" and hence
"must refuse to lend my sanction to any
such work"
Had the temperance folks nominated
Democrats entirely, so as to draw off
Democratic voters, it would have been
all right. The Republican party being
temperance party, is grotesque joke,
when we remember that Grant or some
such man will be their candidate for
President And when, with q majority
of 26 in the House at Columbus, they
defeated local option. Such shallow pre-
tense ought not to deceive even the
shallow pated. One year ago the Re.
publican members tried to drive the
Democratic Legislature to vote local op.
ton, and now, wher they have the
power, they dare not do it.

We hope no Democrat in Stark county
will demean himself so far as to apply
to census supervisor Stanly, of Columbi.
ana county, for position under him.
We are confident that if any of our
friends do, they will only Se disregard.
ed-possibly laughed at and snubbed for
their toolishness, Although a Demo
cratic United States Senate confirmed
Mr.. Stanly, he was appointed by Mr..
Hayes, the fraud who occupies the

dod by Congressman Mckinley. Mr..
Mckinley dictates Postmasters and all
other appointments in this district. We
need only refer to Massillon, Canton
and Salem in this connection. Let our
friends consider.
