ELECTORAL count resolutions have
been adopted, and under them the count
must proceed exactly as it would have
done under the famous Morgan joint
resolution. The Senate also expressed
the opinion that the two branches Of
Congress, in joint convention, was the
authority to declare the result of the
Electoral count, and not the Vice Presi-
dent. Mr.. Conkling and several other
Republican Senators voted with the
Democrats for this.

WE met a Democratic friend the other
day, who expressed regret that Mr.. Til.
den was not our candidate last fall for
President. ui W8
d We asked: "Wsrs you not one Of our
friends who thought it would not do to
renominate Mr.. Tilden, owing to the
hostility of John Kelly2" seo,
"0h, yes" he answered II was of that
opinion. l thought the state Of New
York would be tsure for us If Kelly was
placated"
We remarked it was too late now,
and wise too late is unwisdom. But we
never believed in the policy Of placating
an enemy, by kicking aside a true and
tried and capable friend. We never
had any doubt but that Mr.. Tilden
would have carried New York, Kelly OF
no Kelly. It could not have been worse
at all events; and Of all men living, Mr.
Tilden should have been our candidate

1T is after election, and the Republi'

of Minnesota in repudiatihg her railroad
bonds" They speak of it now as "a
subject Of common reproaCh to the Nor.
thern people," and as "blot on the fair
fame of the Gopher state" The ques'
of paying these bonds was submitted
to vote of the people Of Minnesota,
and they voted by large majority to
repudiate. The Legislature of that state
is now agitating the matter whether to
submit the question to the supreme
court of that state, or to vote Of the
people again. A committee of twenty
are now considering the matter, and it
it is thought, from the influences at
work, the question will be submitted to

The saints in the Free Press Office are
waging war against each other. This is
singular, considering the usual piety and
Righteousness that reigns in that estab-
lishment. The story runs, as we gather
it from one near the throne, that Tripp
inserted personal notice of visitor,
and Samuel Cameron, his partner, took
exceptions because he was not on friend.

was inserted, however, Tripp asserting
that ibis word was out, and the notice

manded a dissolution of partnership, and
said he would either buy or sell, naming
$4,000 as price for a alfinterest in the
Office, fixtures, accounts, etc. Tripp has
brains enough for the whole concern but
not enough money. Cameron has money
enough for the concern but hasn't the
brains. Trip rushed out of one door
on a mad hunt for money; Cameron
went out of the other on hunt for
brains. Trip talked to Judge Adams
and the Judge responded that he had
about $4,000 in one of his boot legs for
present use. Cameron pocketed Isaac

ing he was his dear oyster, and he would
take a half interest in the paper. These
fighting editors again repaired to the of.

speechless fury. Tripp informed Gamer

THE BREAK IN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY:

The leading Republican organs in the
East are fierce in their attacks upon the
Ohio wing of the Republican party.
Hayes's appointments for New York are
bitter opponents Of fsenatorC Conkling, and
his appointment Of Stanley Matthews to
the Supreme Court Bench seems to have
fairly enraged them, 80 that they slash
away at the ''0hio wing" s1 NF isgA
Of course they connect Garfield with
this policy of Hayes and conclude that
he willTolloW thessme line Of warfare up

there seems to be no doubt that Blaine

everyone knows his enmity to Grant

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

A short time since, in the company OF
Superintendent Lehman, we visited all
the school buildings except the High
school structure and the Plum street
building, We hope soon to find time to
take look into each room in those build
ings. -'"' .
We know Of none of our public insh'
tutions more worthy Of regard and con-
sideration than the Public Schools. In
them the rising generation are to De ed
ucated. all the education most OF them
get is obtained in the public schools; and
it is melancholy that 80 very few OF them
enter the High school and graduate. In
deed, one-half that enter and are enroll
ed, 90 no further than the Primaries
The attendance in the primaries is
double that Of the secondaries. There
are thirty.four primary teachers, with
about 100 pupils, while the usual at
tendance in all the schools is 2,4OO. The
entire enrolment during the year will
probably reach 2 800 or 1900.
We learn the same state Of things ex
lists in other towns, and it is serious
fault that should be remedied. Another
feature of this is, that the girls continue
longer at school than the boys. 1t would
seem, then, that the boys, generally,
hardly remain at school long enough to
acquire the three R's-"readin', 'riting
and 'rethmetic."
Last year only fifty entered the A
Grammar school, and forty-two the high
school; and of those forty-two not more
than thirty, probably, will graduate. The
number graduating of late years has been
twenty or so each year. This is a sad
result when we remember the attend
ance exceeds two thousand Is it not

these schools were abandoned for lack
of attendance, after trying them for a
few weeksl All this shows a lamentable
state of things in respect to the educa.
ton of the rising generation-at least in
Canton.
We do not wish to be understood az
intimating that Canton is behind other
towns. We believe our schools will com.
pare favorably with those of otEer towns
of the state. Our teachers are devoted
and earnest in their work; and the state
of things referred to is of long standing,

We learn the increased attendance OF
pupils thislyear. .over,,slast school year is
some three hundred; and last years over
the year before was, about the same.
Prior to that the annual increase was
about one hundred. This would indi.
cate quite an increase to the population
0f Canton within the past two years; and
from present indications this continues.
