.-[RepOsitOry.
We have the utmost respect for our
able cotempOrary of the county seat, but
are ever puzzled to know how to class
ify it in the Republican family. Here
tOfOre it has been stalwart, cOnserva-
tive or "half-breed," off and on, as the
case seemed to require. But whatever
changes it underwent to meet the ext
gencies of the times, its general lean
ings and tendencies were always to-
wards stalwartism. Now, however,
strange to say, it is using "stalwart" as
term of reprOach. Wonder if this is
to be regarded as an indication that
Mckinley, whose organ the Repository
is conceded to be, is no longer a stall
wart in politics. Peacock stalwart" is
new term, and we are ignorant as to
its possible political significance, when
considered apart from its application to
the Representative of the 18th District.
AS applied to him, it is within our COM
prehensiOn, for he is unquestiOnably
the NapOleOnic peacock par excellent
stalwart, of the Ohio delegation.
We notice, too, that our neighbOr is
veering a little on the silver dollar
question. 1t now speaks glibly of
"puncturing the silver bubble" from
which we infer that the young NapO-
leon meditates change of base in his
relations to the dollar of the daddies.

THE PRINCIPAL PARTY--FOR DIS
~HONESTY."

For downright wholesale political ly-
ing, give us the Cleveland Leader. tits
regular Guiteau organ. Its party never
does wrOng-never did wrOng-never
will do wrong, let them Star route and
DeGOllyer as they will.
The Leader and its party are infalli-
BILE. All they do is by inspiration, and
hence they never commit error or make
mistakes. Guiteau is a model Leader
Republican!
According to the Leader, the Demo-
cratic party is the thieying party. say
ing:
The amount stolen under Buchanan's
four-year administration, which only
disbursed about S25O,000,O0O, was great
er than was stolen under the twelve
wear administration of Grant and
Hayes, which disbursed nearly sixteen
times as much.
During Grant and Hayes's time were
the Credit Mobiliar operators, the
whisky rings, the DeGOllyer, Moth and
other swindles, involving hundreds of
millions according to the report of
George William Curtiss, of Harper's
Weekly, and Joseph Medill, of the Chi
cago Tribune The Star route operators
are credited with a steal of nine mil
lions only. In this way, has the party
been obtaining its election corruption
money.
The Leader should have the manhood
to credit Samuel J. Tilden with being
the leading man in the overthrow and
punishment If the Tweed ring in New
York city. The New York World was
before the Times in exposing and as
saulting the ring. In Republican Penn
sylyania and Republican Philadelphia,
exists a condition of things, and has for
many years, of the most diabOlical and
worst character. Elections are carried
by fraud, and the rights and liberties
of the people are as nothing. The
Cleveland Leader approved and does yet
of the Hayes Presidential steal. Its
rule of action is that all is right which
is necessary to maintain the Republic
can party in power. The Leader is not
one of those high-toned public journals
which desires that the men of princi
pie should be the principal men; nor
one that prefers the principles of JUS
tice and right to party domination.

PROTECTED PAUPERs.

Protection from the pauper labor of
Europe" is the constant cry of prOtee-
tiOnists.
1t is not true that any considerable
number of the labOTers of Europe are
paupers, and if it were true free trade
has not reduced the European lahOrer to
pauperism, as the European nations
whose wOrkmen receive the lowest
wages have protective tariffs, and the
wOrkmen of the only free trade country
receive the highest wages paid in Eu-
rope.
1t is an insult to an honest working
man who is self-suppOrting to call him a
pauper. A pauper is one who publicly
cOnfesses that he is unable to support
himself, and asks for public aid; and no
man who is self-suppOrting, no matter
what his wages may be, can properly be
called pauper.
1t should not be forgotten that" we
have great many paupers in this cOun-
try.
We have two classes of paupers here.
One class is maintained at public eX-
pense in poor houses; they are given
such food, clothes and shelter as the au-
thOrities see fit to bestOw, and those who
are able are required to work in order
that the burden of their support may be
lighter on the tax payers.
mere Is dnObneT CldSS Ol pdulleES, WHO
live in elegant mansions, generally
their own, who fare sumptuOusly every
day. These are pauper manufacturers
of the United States.
They are sturdy beggars and theiI
greed is Unsuitable.
When they made their first demand
for aims, in 1880, they said that if the
people would support them for n few
years they would not only be aDie TO
support themselves, Tut would repay
the tax payers for their outlay. The
people have maintained these aristOcra-
tic beggaTs for nearly one hundred
years and they are not yet self-suppOrt-
ing, but have been, and still are, clamOr
ing for more aid.
And now these beggars, who seem to
be utterly devoid of shame, meet in con-
ventiOn for the avOwed purpose of con-
trolling legislation to increase their
profits at the expense of the consumers.
They have thrown off the mask and no
longer pretend that they will. ever be-
come self-suppOrting. They have lived
so long on the toll and sweat of their
fellow men that they now demand it as
right.
These are the men who insult honest
labOrers by calling them paupers, while
they themselves are living on the cOntri-
buttons of their fellow men.
Every manufactures who asks to be
protected" from foreign competition is
a pauper--simply a beggar asking for
alms-and in order better to enforce
their demands they band together to
corrupt the national legislature with a
part of their ill-gOtten gains.

1T would not seem that President
Arthur is recognizing his Cabinet with
the strongest men of his faction. Such
men as Frelinghuysen and Tim O..
Howe, are not and never have been
leaders. 1t seems Howe was not con-
sidered a proper person for Attorney
General, because his sOn-in-law was
counsel for the star route robbers. Will
he not be quite as able to aid the star
route thieves as Postmaster General?
As we understand, Mr.. Howe believes in
the Grant idea of a personal govern
ment-a sort of royal family.

correspondent says of the Keifer COM
mittees:
twill be seen that Mr.. RobesOn, to

country owes its present worthless navy,
beside great mass of scandal connect
ed with its expenditures, has a grip on
the proposed new navy in no less than
three committees"
But Robson is a Third-termer, and
that is supposed to wash his sins away.
Then it is important to have a vast sum
of money appropriated in the name of a

THE REMEDY IN THEIR OWN HANDS.

Our Washington dispatches show that
even among politicians an impression
exists, that to put eleven members of
one party and two members only of an
other party on committee which is to
pass upon contested seats in House very
nearly divided, cannot be called strictly
an impartial act. The impression is
well founded. But who expected any
thing better from the actual Speaker
of the House? OF course these things
are not creditable to American public
is the trial of Guiteau cTeditable to the
American judiciary? If the American
people like bTazen partisanship in Con-
gress and indecency in courts, they
ought to be gratified by these things. If
they are not gratified by these things,
the remedy is in their own hands.-N.

IT is admitted on all hands that the
Stalwarts are on top at Washington, and
as dOmineering as they were under
Grant. Guiteau's work opened the way
and they are improving it. Blaine has
gone out and Frelinghuysen is in, Win
dom gives way to FOlger, James to Howe,
MacVeagh to Brewster Boutwell, and
Sargent are yet to come in for Cabinet
places, while in the next grade of inn
pOrtant offices the list starts off with
Tom Murphy as sub-TreasuTer at New
York, with the selections of a like char
acter running through every state of
the Union where appointments have
been made. With hardly an exception
Garfield men have been retired or re-
jected, and Grant stalwaTts put on top.
In Congress the same thing is seen.
The Senate was captured by an alliance
with Reputation in Virginia, and the
election of Keifer as Speaker, with his
committees really named by Cameron,
Arthur, Grant and COnkling, fasten the
clamps of the Stalwart bTigands on the
treasury of the nation, give them con-
troll of subsidy legislation, and reinstate
the lobby in full power. The House, in
reality the Grand Jury of the Republic,
is organized in the interest of great cor
pOTatiOns, of barefaced jObbery, and of
unlimited extravaganza. Star reuters,
railroad schemers, mining spectators,
syndicatOrs, land grabbers, Indian job
bers, etc, will control legislation and
manipulate the schemes to plunder the
Treasury. Guiteau should be the lead
ing saint in the Stalwart galaxy.

IT is claimed that Speaker KeiffeT's
arrangement of the Committees of Con-
gress shows meanness. He did not place
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, on committee
at all, and he omits the ablest Democrats,
such as Randall, Holman and BlOunt
from the Appropriation Committee, on
which they have had experience. 1t is
feared the committees are fixed up for
iObbery and plunder.

thinks that it would be "a pity if the

no campaign literature. Strange these
party organs can not get above mere
party considerations.
