Gov. FOSTER is..kicking the "stslwarts''
Of his party all along the line. He will
not give one Of them smell, when they
are 80 hungry, They worked and voted
strong for Calico, but he is paying them
off by kicks. Some ofthem speak right
out. The Plain Dealers Columbus cor
respondent says: ~
DR.. Fenall, who was Gen. Beatty's
lieutenantin the fight on West, was pro-
nounced. He says the stalWarts have
literally had dirt thrown on them and
then rubbed in. Moore, he said, was
the choice Of the Republican State Exec.
utive Committee for Chairman. He
held the election in his hand. Foster
went to him and urged him to withdraw
in Robinson's favor, pleading the lattsr's
previous service in that position, and
that he came from his (Foster's) part of
the State. Moore gallantly yielded. As
fact Robinson was chairman only in
name, the hard work being done
by Moore and Capt. Donaldson. But
Moore is a stalwart, says the doctor, and
that settled him. It is understood Gen.
Beatty and other stalwarts are equally
indignant, not only over Moore's case,
but over the situation in general.

ABOUT half of the State institutions
are and have been in the running con-
troll of Republicans, the late General
Assembly and the Democratic Boards of
Trustees not disturbing them. Last
winter Peter Hitchcock, Republican
from Geauga, reported bill to take all
the institutions out of politics, requiring
the respective Boards of Trustees to
consist Of four members, two being Ia.
ken from each political party. This bill
the Democratic General Assembly pass
edinto law. The present Republican
Legislature,and Chas. Foster, not satisfied
with this law, have bills pending, one in
the Senate and one in the House, provi.
ding for prompt Republican reorgani.
zation of all the Boards. This radical
Legislature is in a hurry to show its par.
tissn wolf teeth.

FooLIsH.-To think the more a man
eats the fatter and stronger he will be-

To conclude that if exercise is good, the

To imagine that every hour taken from

presumption that the smallest room in

To argue that whatever remedy causes

for the system, without regard to ulte.
rior effects. To eat without an appetite,
or to continue to eat after it has been
satisfied, merely to crafty the taste. To
eat a hearty supper for the pleasure ex-
perienced during the brief time 1t is
passing down the throat, at the expense
OF a whole night of disturbed sleep, and
weary waking in the morning.

An Augusta dispatch to the Boston
Herald says; The playwrights are mis-
sing an opportunity. There is the ma
terial for popular comedy in this city
of Augusta. Act one, scene first, should
open in the dining room of the Augusta
House, at the supper hour, when hungry
Republicans and Fusionisis cit down for
their tea, toast and gossip. A traveller
from New Zealand would never imagine
that the capital Of Maine was the scene
of a Mexican muss. The tables are fill

who elbow their Republican antagonists,
and get them to "pass the sugar" The
much arrested Major Folso eats his steak

head of one Of the tables with his cheer

who fully recognize his title to the Gov.
ernorship. Near at hand Gov. Davis sips

who call him Frank" but refuse to call
him Governor" President Locke of
the State House Senate, and the gold
specialized, benevolent gentleman who
presides over the Fusionist House, both
eat cuts from the same sirloin. There
are some few radical fellows whose par
tisanship colors their every action, but
in the main (no pun) there is the same
state of feeling as is displayed between
rival factions gathered to attend polit-
ical convention. 1t is perfectly safe to
address every man as colonel, major,
or captain. Maine in this respect, re-
sembes Mississippi. Fuslonist Gov.
Smith is as Democratic in his ways as
Old Hickory himself. He smokes "T.
D." pipe, and has no sort of anxiety
about coloring the lace curtains. He is
as full of PenobsCot grit as Gov. Davis,
and with suit of armor would pass for
one of King Johns barons. Through.
out the early part of the night the rival
partisans play euchre, and few wicked
wayward men indulge in twenty FIVE
cents worth Of poker. The Maine law
prevents the sale of lager, but there is a
superabundance of cool, refreshing gin,
doctored brandy and forty rod whisky.
A scientific observer of this Maine muss
ssCribes it all to too exclusive diet of

THE Pittsburgh Dispatch (Rep.) takes q
very practical view of the Williams case.
1t says in its issue of the 14th inst:
The colored member from Cincinnati,
in the Ohio House of Representatives,
has instituted suit against restaurant
keeper in Columbus, for refusing to treat
him like other men, and set before him
meal ordered from the bill of fare Just
as white folks would have ordered. The
honorable Representative clearly has q
right to be indignant; but at the same
time, if he will reflect as to what action
would be most consonant with his new
dignity, he would doubtless concluded to
have gone where his presence was vel.
come, and would have been more agree.
able for all concerned, and would not
have injured the feelings of anybody.
The honorable Representative seems to
have begun Immediately to presume
that the fact that he is an honorable
Representative, gave him the right to
intrude where ehe never would have
thought of going before he be.
came an honorable Representative. One
of the first rules which must govern the
actionof every true gentleman is never
to 60 where his presence will be in any
way Objectionable to those around. The
world is wide enough for everybody and
elbowing is only one sign of rudeness,

FROM COLUMBUS.

OuIrks and Gas In the Leglslature-An Old Dem.
Ocratlc VeterAn-FOur Weeks Gone and Little
Work Done.
If had the material, the quirks and
gas of this sixty.fourth General Assem-
bly, to make letter interesting, / would
like to detail the proceeding, not volum.
inous, for jaw music, for buncombe and
junketing for fun, is still the order of
the present aggregation, as it was Of pre-.
vious Assemblys.
The veteran member, M. II. Kirby,
Senator from the Wysndot- Crawford
Seneca district, is an exception to the
popular order of procedure, for he has
lived too long and built for himself too
bright record, to enjoy the skirmishing
resorted to in the legislation Of to-day.
In 1880 he was elected Secretary Of
State, at the time a member Of the House.
In 1924 he was elected Prosecuting At.
torney OF Highland county. Thus it will
be seen he entered public life dfty.six
years ago, and has continued to fill some
position ofpublic trust nearly ever since.
He was born in Halifax county, Va, in
1898, being now so years of age, in full
possession of all his faculties except his
voice, which has grown feeble, and is
peculiar to aged people. He is six feet
high, walks erect, and every inch Of him
is democratic.
The Republican majority met in secret
Conclave, and under the plea of securing
a wise and conservative management of
the State institutions, resolve to make
no removals, except for causes other
than political; but, as their power is ab.
solute, their purpose is to utilize it.
So little has been done in the four
weeks of the session already passed, that
there is scarcely anything to summarize,
but as the term grows older, and the or.
der of business is more thoroughly ma
tured, the weekly aggregate Of accom-.
plished work may be more interesting,
But the truth is, the vacation has been
SO ahort and the labors of the previous
Legislature so thorough, that but little of
general character remains to claim
their attention. GLIDE.

What Hayes. as an Honest Man, Should Have
DOna


To the Editors ofthe Pittsbt,0h Post
You no doubt have noticed that the
Leader has admitted that the Republi'
cans stole the electoral vote of Louisi-
ana, but still thinks "Hayes did about
right" and thRt he has "a title perfect
constitutionslly and legally" l have
been writing to the Leader or this SUBJ
ject, and in reply to an editorial, entitled
"0ur nsisiency," Jan. 9th, think, in
the Leader, ! sent him a communication
which he did not see fit to publish In his
paper. Why he did not you may ans
wer for yourself However, in an edi-
torial few days aiterward, he says 'Nye
wants us to admit that Hayes ought to
resign" or words to that effect. Now, l
did not say 30; but from what I did say
he no doubt drew the logical conclusion
that that was just the thing he ought to
do, and therefore concluded that wan.
ted him to do it. / give you an extract
from that suppressed communication
"The partisan decision of the joint
high commission was based upon the as
sumption that the electoral vote of Lou.
isisna belonged to Hayes Now, when
we know that the Republican, stole the
vote of Louisiana, how can I'VE" con-
sistently refuse to denounce Hayes as a
fraud when he still continues to occupy
the Presidential chairP Could any hon
est man continue to hold possession Of
goods which do not belong to him, even
though he had "title, perfect, Constitu-
tionally and legally" to themP
Law is an expedient devised by man
to promote and maintain justice, but it
is defective, and often fails to accomplish
it's purpose. Still, back of this law is
the abstract principle of justice, to his
idea of which every one who is entitled
to pass as an honest man must conform.
OF course we may differ as to what jus.
tice is. In accordance with my idea of
abstract justice must continue to con.
slider r. B. Hayes fraud, or at least the
receiver Of stolen goods. AS to whether
"he could not have refused it without
making things worse, not only for the
Democrats, but for the whole country"
l claim it was not pertinent for him to
inquire. The point for him to have con-
sidered in such a case, involving as it
did such vast interests and difference of
opinions, was not, what will be the re-
suit but simply, what is the right thing
to do2 You say, "on the other hand it
was absolutely known that the Demo.
Gratis had corruptly bought the vote Of
Oregon, etc. Such, you're other argu-
ments only 90 to show the extremity to
which those are reduced who are COM

BRIBERY AND FRAUD IN NEW
YORK.


YORK.
The New York correspondent to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says; It is an open
secret here now that the entire New
York Democratic State ticket, except the
Governor and State Engineer we're
counted out at the election last fall. Sey-
mour's vote was too large to handle, so
he was left in by half of his majority,
while Potter was counted out when his
majority was over ten thousand, and yet
the Republicans are miserable.
The bill introduced at Albany last
Monday TO select Electors by districts,
with opposition from the psalm singers,
but is warmly Endorsed by the short.
haired, led by the Tribune. A very prom
inent Republican, however, says the
bill will not pass, and was only introdu.
ced to get the matter out Of the hands of
those who meant mischief. Still, the
fact that the State is known to be Demo.
cratic, together with the large Republi-
can majority in both branches Of the
Legislature, causes much trouble to Geo.
VIM. Curtis and his pet lambs. If cor.
respondents were permitted to have
opinions, the writer would say that the
peopls of New York will not be allowed
to choose electors this year in the usual

INr1RM DIRECTOR PUTNAM.

It seems it cost the ring considerable
trouble to get Mr.. Putnam to break his
pledge to continue DR.. Conklin as ply
sician at the In6rmary.
The new Director, VIM. Barber, who
had served for twenty years or 30 previ-
ously, and had pastured lots of old liv'
cry nsgs on the Infrmary farm, Mr.
Barber, we say, at the December meet
ing, found how things were, and got the
choice of physician postponed till the
January meeting.
Shortly after the December meeting
Probate Judge Heldenbrand and Doctor
Scott drove one stormy day, through the
rain, about twenty miles to Mr.. Putman'e
farm residence. Not finding him al
home, and waiting till about dark, they
started back, and had a fearful, dark
drive. Taking the wrong road at one
place cost them two hours or more o.
precious time ; and getting hungry, they
induced a good Samaritan farmer, after
directing them the way, to induce hit
good wife to get the starving Cantonians
and we suppose their horses, something
to eat,
Being thus fixed up internally, and
being put on the right road, the twair
plodded along the deep and splashinl
roads, and reached home at late, OF
rather an early hour,
There is no disputing that Adam is 6
slick one and can play it fine, in facI

Well, at the January meeting Put
man voted for DR.. Phillips several times
not to elect Phillips, for that was moi
the intention, but to smooth the way at
he thought, and thus relieve his troub
led conscience.
Putnam deserves no credit for thif
maneuVre. No one but a genius like
Heldenbrand or Barber would think o.
such an adroit operation.
Another little piece Of skill exhibited
by our Probate Judge deserves attention
On that 9th of January. when he and
J.J Clark arrived, they enquired anx-
iously for a colored pauper. They were
anxious to see their negro friend and
brother. After seeing their colored
brother, and converting with him, no
doubt on important business, they sue
Ceeded in interviewing Putnam and Bar
Der, and arranging the whole matter. II
was on the seventh ballot that the two
inhrm votes of Putnam and Barber be-
ing cast for Scott, settled the business.
We are thus particular in detailing
this case, to show how smart men do
such little and mean things. We never
heard of Democrats making themselves
small and contemplate enough to inter.
fere in this way.
