Hon. H. B. PAYNE, of this city, has
notified the Democratic managers that
he cannot attend or address their jOlif-

won by the Democrats on last Tuesday.

nls Majority twenty in tho District

HIs Majority Twenty In the District.
The voting people of the 18th Distiet
on Tuesday, last week, elected Jonathan
Il. Wallace to Congress over William
Mckinley, Jr., by the majority Of 20 on
the face of the returns.
Republican judges of election in Co
lumbiana county have counted in VIII
liam Mckinley, Jr., and counted out
Jonathan H. Wallace, but that does not
change the fact. In consequence of this,
William Mckinley, Jr., may get the GER
tificate, but a contest will assuredly
give Jonathan H. Wallace the seat, to
which the people elected him. Fraud
in this case shall not win.
In several townships in COlumbiana
county, the judges of election counted
for William Mckinley, jr., tickets on
which were written merely Mckinley,
or Nv. Mckinley" and refused to count
for Jonathan d. Wallace tickets having
ON ''Major Wallace" or u. Il. Wallace,
tallying these separately, ami thus re-
turning them on the tally sheets. In
one township fourteen major Wallace
votes were not Tailed at all.
The following is the list tailed anG
refused, so far as ascertained: Centre
tp., 12; Perry, s; Yellow Greek, 1; Wash
ingtOn, l; Liverpool, 8; making %. In
Fairfield township fourteen votes for
'.Major Wallace" were not Tailed at all.
Adding these % tallies to Jonathan
H. Wallace gives him 20 majority in the
district, and adding the fourteen not
Tailed. his majority is 34l Wesay, then,
that Jonathan H. Wallace is triumph
antly elected; such being the decision OF
the people of the district.
In contest, no tribunal would hesi-
tate to count the % tallies to Jonathan
H. Wallace, and on the proper evidence,
also the IA not tailed. This would make
his majority "a. All we ask is fair
count, and that the man elected shall
have the place. We doubt not this will
be done; and if William Mckinley, jr.
takes the certificate of election and as
sumes the seat, he will soon thereafter
be retired to the shades of private life
and Major Wallace be gwen the place tC
which the people elected him.

ELECTION NOTES.

Charles Foster was mistaken as to "a
liquor sellers rebellion" 1t was the
peoples rebellion. The Western Reserve
even rebelled.
General Apathy" says the Repository
was the matter Was it not rather GEN
eral Disgust that induced so many Re-
publicans to support Major Wallace?
Give the right reason, please.
The distinguished hewgag, Major
Frank Baird, did not save Charles Foster
and the Republican party in Ohio, nor
in Stark county. Honest people are
getting disgusted with these marketable
specimens. pllI ait .i'Q Z
Mr.. Clark Tonner, of our city, Inter-
nal Revenue Inspector, labOred for his
chief, Major Mckinley, with intensity
and tenacity. He deserves great credit,
for 1t is not his fault. The thing was
unexpected to Mr.. TOnner-in fact a
surprise. tat
We take pleasure in informing Ed.
Piero, William Amos, John German, of
North Lawrence, and any others of that
tlk, that Stark county gave Wallace 837
majority This shows there are inde-
pendent, honest people yet in tho land
whose votes are not controlled bv Me-
Kinley's hired pimps.
Repository credits William Amos, Of that
town, commonly known as fish Billy"
with supporting Mckinley. Mr.. Amos
has hitherto been credited with being a
great Democrat. The Rep. correspond
ent does not state the value of the bait
used in catching that fish.
or course the Mckinley manipulators
tried their old game Of-"sOap;" and Ed.
PierO, of the First Ward, Canton, Chief
of our fire department, was again active
for Mckinley and Barnaby. 1t Is ever
thus with Ed. He Is active too with
falsehood and detractiOn. He, 1t was,
we learn, who circulated the base lie
that Captain Erb, our candidate for Re-
cOrder, had made OffensiVeremarks about
Catholics and the Catholic Church. This
Is SteTotyped, standard lie Of this fel-
low. He uses 1t against every Demo-
crat he is hired to defeat. We hope to
have scabs Of this kind better known
before we are done with them.
Other gentlemen In the government
service from this district no doubt did
their best for Major Mckinley They
were all at home for weeks and labor
ing for the Major. There was Ellis N.
johnson, Jr., Of Mt. Union; l. P. MiIlers
Of Canton; Mr.. Pollock, of North Law
renee; HenryC. March, OF New franklin;
and many others, were all home, detail-
ed to work and vote for Mckinley. So
far as we know they have all returned
to duty, and we wish them well. For
ourself, however, we would rather be an
Independent man, than another mans
serf. Mr.. March, like G. +. Laiblin,
once-only once-ran for Sheriff on the
Republican ticket. After that, Congress-
man Mckinley got him birth at Wash
ington, and he marched to Washin gton.
None Ofthese fellows see any beauty in
civil service reforml 1t might reform
out about fifty thousand not to be re-
placed, and that is what Is needed.

TEE oFFIcIAL COUNT.

The election returns from the various
precincts of Stark county were canvassed
by Clerk Wilson, assisted by Justices
Taggart, of Fulton, and Violand, OF
Louisville, on last Friday afternoon
The official table will be found in this
paper. The result in the county shows
426 Democratic majority on the State
ticket; S37 majority for Wallace over
Mckinley; 28majOrity for Barnaby, Re-
publican, for Recorder; 785 majority for
Shelter for Commissioner; 23 for Shorb
for Infirmary Director, and 5O6 majority
for Leininger for Coroner.
The official count in the Congressional
district now stands as follows:
MahonIng Majority for VIM. Mckinley Jr......... S63
Carroll. majority for VIM. Mckinley Jr......... 500
CoiGmblana, majority Tor Jonathan IL wallace "a
stark majority for Jonathan H. Wallace. ...... 837
Total S04
The above does not include % votes in
COlumbiana county which were Tailed
and returned for "Major Wallace" and
~. H. Wallace" These added to the
vote of Jonathan Fl. Wallace, as they
should have been, and as was done for
Mckinley, will give Wallace 20 majority
in the district. This will most assured
ly be done and Wallace will get his seat.

IT is a healthy sign to see the brains
of the Republican party advancing to
the Democratic principles of non-inter-
ference by the Federal Administration
with the concerns of the States. The
appointment by ARTHUR of Judge Fol-
GER as the Republican candidate for
Governor of New York, has much to do
with this unexpected revival Of sound
doctrine in an unexpected quarter.
Says the New York Independent of last
week:
The President of the Uuited States has
quite enough to do in discharging the
duties assigned to him by the COnstitu-
ton, without undertaking to manage
the local politics of the respective States
and to this end, distributing the patron
age Of the Government where 1t will
do the most good" BE had better leave
this business to fake care Of itself, ac-
cording to the wishes Of the people. in
these States. They better know what
they want than he can know for them,
and are much more likely to be displeas-
ed than pleased with his volunteer SER
vices. It is best for him to keep his
hands of, and equally best for the party
to which he belongs. If he thinks that
the party cannot live without this SER
vice, we beg leave to assure him that 1t
cannot live with it. The loss, in the
end, is always greater than the gain.
The republican party In the Sta'o Is to-
day shivering on the brink Of peril un-
der the weight of the Federal machine.
Thousands of Republicans, offended and
disgusted, are at this moment consider
ing the question whether they will, in
the circumstances, sustain the party
ticket. A nomination which, either by
its manner or the character Of the can
didates, forces upon voters such a ques-
tion is, to say the least, gross bIunder.

THE ups and downs in politics in this
sonntry is an interesting feature. Men
now on the topmOst wave Of success, are
by a reverse relegated to an enduring OBJ
5Gurity. The late election in Ohio has
made sad havoc with men who looked
forward to glorious future in public
life. They have been basking in for
tunes smiles, and were confident in con-
tinuing- therein. Like little wanton
boys that swim on bladders," )" they had
been floating in sea Of glory that they
fondly thought would never end. But
alas for the hopeful colOring Of human
expectations, In one short hour these
have been dashed to pieces on the rock
Of disaster. Struggling in the wreck,
we see Charles Foster, Benz. Butter
worth, Horr, Mcclure, Mckinley and
others, men who, before the election
we're as confident as Haman of old when
srdering the gibbet for Mordecail

nossIsaI IN ALLIANcE.

We see by the Alliance Leader that
Mr.. Morgan Of the Hammer Works of
that place lectured his wOrkmen on
Monday before the election as to their
duty on election day, instructing them
how to vote and for whom to vOtel
English Lords have been in the habit
of thus debating and lOrding 1t, but
Mr.. Morgan should understand that in
this free country 1t is not the practice.
The wOrkingman here is the equal OF
his "bOss" in all individual rights; and
the latter las no dictatOrial authority
over him; and he who attempts to play
the tyrant in this way mistakes his
province as an American citizen.
We regret that Mr.. Morgan should
have so far forgotten and disregarded
the rights of Othe as to make such an
exhibition of himself. From the result
at Alliance and in the district and State
he may see that there was much free
and independent voting done on the
10th. In fact the result is a rebellion
at bOssism, and such men as Morgan
should profit by the lesson.
He Is a freer whom the truth makes free
And all are slaves besidel
Mr.. Morgan attempted to answer
Major Wallace's speech at Alliance on
the previous Saturday evening, but as
he did not hear Mr.. Wallace at all, Nor
gan's effort was not success, as may be
seen from the following paragraph from
the Leader:
He said Mai. Wallace had told wilful
lies to his audience on Saturday night
and that '..any man who would so mis-
represent the facts was a id villain;
worse than a thief because you know
what to expect of thief" That he
''ought to be hammered over the head
with club" Damn him." said he, ''if
had been there l would have answered
him, as he deserved"
He extoIled Mckinley and urged his
men to vote for him, as it would be for
their interest, the intimatiOn being If
the wOrkingmen did not vote for Nc
Kinley they would be discharged. This
barefaced attempt at intimidation on
the part OF Mr.. Morgan has been hand
sOmely rebuked at Alliance. and else
where. In truth, bOssism just now, has
received a back set. free people with
free ballot will not long tolerate boss
rule, for it is necessarily corrupt and
infamous, being holly selfish. The at
tempts of late years to fasten privileged
classes upon the people of this country
has been somewhat successful, The
signs are that Star route, boss rule has
seen its best days.
The Alliance firm Of Morgan, Williams
& Co., should restrain their Mr.. Morgan
from again making fool of himself.
We commend to them JeffersOn's re-
solve: 81 have sworn upon the altar Of
"God, eternal hostility to every form of
tyranny over the mind of man."

THE NEXT HOUSE.

so far, Representatives in the next
Congress have been elected in the States
of Oregon, Vermont, Maine, Ohio and
West Virginia. In the present House
these States are represented by % Re-
publicans, Greenbackers and 8 Demo
Gratis. In the next House their repre-
sentation will be-Republicans 10,
Democrats II, Greenbackers none. Un-
der the new appOrtiOnment of represen-
tatiOn, Maine and Vermont lose one
member each, and Ohio and Virginia
gain one. Counting the two Maine
Greenbackers (Messrs. Ladd and Murch)
as Democrats, these figures show that
of the 80 representatives elected so far,
the Democrats gain and the Republi-
cans lose z, making a Democratic gain
of IA. The next House will be composed
of 1926 members instead of 293 as at pres
ent, so that 1853 will be majority in
stead of 147.
The election in Ohio demonstrates
with certainty the next House will be
Democratic by decided majority. 1t is
possible we may lose few members in
the Southern States, but will gain
largely in New York, Pennsylvania, In
diana; and Missouri, and will pick up a
few members in the Northwest and Cali
fornia. We have little doubt the Demo-
Gratis will have It's members of the
House, which will be ample for all good
purposes.
