The Republican ate convention of Ohio

Under these circumstances it is not to
be supposed that John Sherman has any
feeling but that of bitter hatred toward
Charles Foster. He would undoubtedly
rather see him disgraCed than elevated.
But Mr.. Sherman's crooked management
of the Treasury under Hayes is the hook
that holds him. He must continue to
bolster himself up by keeping in with
Blaine and Foster. Secretary Windom's
late Treasury investigation was suddenly

strata were struck. Enough has been

REPUBLICAN journals this year are pc

they always are prior to a complete

party in the following manner:
"The best way to manage these Meth.

THOMAS G. SNYDER asks to be return

the City Council, backed by an almost
unanimous vote of the citizens at the
Spring election, to secure the passage of
a law authorizing the removal of the
dead remaining in the old cemetery lot,
he never made move in that direction,
nor has he ever pretended to offer an
excuse or explanation to the public of
Canton for this neglect of duty. A Rep
resentative so Indifferent to the express,
ed wish of the people, is not proper
man to serve them. x.
