The Cleveland Penny Press pays the
following high and merited compli-
ment to General w. s. Hancock:
The most sought for and admired of
all the great men who attended the
funeral was Maj. Gen. w. S. Hancock.
His handsome face aud form, and his
gentlemanly conduct have won him
thousands Of friends here. Cleveland
ers have been taught that he was a
great, conceited, puffed.up military
swell. They found him a quiet, un-
assuming gentleman, saddened by the
solemnities of the occasion and sim
eerely mourning the death of his
chieftain and former political oppo-
nent. Grant, Conkling, Arthur, the
Camerons and others, could not forgive
their foe within their party, and did
not attend his funeral. Hancock sub
mitted to the will of the people when
they expressed their preference fol
Garfield with their suffrages. He
studied Garfield, learned to admire
him for his Intelligence and in his
great heart loved him as Il brother
Hancock had nothing to lose by stay
ing away, nor anything to gain by at
tending the funeral. He did not come
like the chattering, Officious Sherman
or the ldWuiuR, WOuiu-OC COboEI''Ous
Swain, nor yet as the shrewd al d cal
culating Logan He came with the
modest bearing of a gentlemanly SOL
dier, expressing his honest grief in
quiet and sensible manner. He went
away bearing with him the love and
admiration of thousands of good citi'
zens, to whom he had formerly been 6
stranger. To-day the good people O
Ohio indulge the hope that the coming
administration will be favored with
the intelligence, manliness, courtesy
and honest independence which are
the distinguishing characteristics O
| Winfield Scott Hancock.
This is the man upon whom the Re
publican press and stumpers only {
year ago heaped their vile ISLANDERS ant
abuse, declaring that his election al
President would endanger the peace
prosperity and even the perpetuity o
the country.

GENERAL GRANT speaks contempt

GENERAL GRANT speaks contempt
uOusly of the Half-breed editors who
are alternately fawning upon A thur
and threatening him, and predicts that
they will be entirely without influence
upon his course. General Arthur" !"
he says twill not be frightened by
their threats because he understands
their motives, and because he cares
neither for their censure nor their
praise" General Grant, no matter
who is in the Cabinet, will be the con-
trolling force with the Arthur ADM n

This is more than half as large as

the national debt at a rate that prom

TO Our Friends.

From a great many of our friends
during the past few months we have
received compliments upon the REG
lister as a local.paper. Now, if every
one who really thinks the paper de
serves good word will recommend it
to their neighbors who are not now
taking it, we shall feel grateful. 1t is
our aim to make the REGISTER the
best county newspaper ever published
in the county, and to do this requires
labor and involves considerable ex-
pense. The subscription list is now
gaining rapidly, and We hope soon to
double it, (as we have done once since
we took hold of the paper and reach
every neigRRorhQQpAa in the county. In
this connection we ask our friends who
want anything ia the line Of job print
ing to remember that we are fully pre-
pared to do all kin ls Of work at the
most reasonable prices. We spend our
money in this county aHd Patronize
home institutions exclusively. Recip-
rocate when possible and aid iq main
tanning your local paper.

w. B. SHQgKLEY, Secretary.

Not long since gentleman for
whom we have high respect stopped
his paper. His reason was substan-
TALLY that we had always noticed
other people but seldom made mention
of his acts or deeds. In the first place
he took offense at nothing and in the
second is laboring under mistaken
notion, for his name has several times
appeared when others had not. We
mention this only to give force to the
following extract from an exchange,
which covers the whole ground as to
the rights OF any person to notice.
Editors are always glad to publish
items when furnished, and frequently
have been known to hunt for them !;
but if q man does not furnish an item
he has no right to expect to see it in
print. An exchange pertinently re-
marks: "This is not owing to any lack
of desire to publish such news, but it
often happens that the editor has no
means of knowing that the event has
traaspired, or he may be unable to
obtain the necessary data to make a
respectable iteW. The way to avoid
any occasion for feeling sighted is to
see that the paper is furnished with
the facts, ana they will always be
published"
