THE STAR ROUTE BUSINESS AND JOHN
SHERMAN.

People should bear in mind that the
Star route business transpired through
out the Hayes-Sherman administration
of the Government Mr.. Sherman, while
on the stump, should say a word in vim
dication Of the Hayes fraud of which he
was so conspicuous part.
Everybody now believes the DOrseys,
Brady & Co. to be public plunderers.
This is not all. Everybody who was,
like John Sherman, inside of politics"
in the Republican party, knew this to
be true of them two years and more ago.
Garfeld's letter to Dear Hubbell'
implOring him to get Brady to con-
tribute help and thus save his election,
was performance Indicative of know
ledge. As everybody understood, the
letter involved a pledge in case OfGar-
fields election. The implied promise
was, at least, no questions should be
asked whether the money came by a
blackmail levy or felony.
But DOrsey's case shows up worse for
the Republican party than Brady's.
Dorsey was the captain who gave special
attention to Indiana and became famous
A complimentary banquet" was given
him at New York and prominent New
York Republicans, including President
Arthur, were there to praise and laud
him to the skies. The orators on the Oc-
casion, Arthur included, were shame.
lessly funny and hilarious over Dorsey
and his exploits! The facts of the StaI
route infamy were even then notorious
and President elect Garfield was then
carrying on long and intimate cores
pOndence with this very DOrseY
The Republican party then is srespOnsi
BILE for Dorsey and Brady. Dorsey was
even offered a Cabinet position by Gar
field. No doubt Dorsey and Brady are
shameless public plunderers, and some
high party leaders might be convicted
of completely.

SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN

Spoke to fair audience in the Opera
House last Saturday evening. We did
not hear him, but learn it was substan-
TALLY arepetitiOn of his Columbus blast,
which was published.
Knowing somewhat Senator Sher-
mans political history, well remember
ing the infamous Know Nothing wave
that brought him from Obscurity and
poverty and sent him to Congress; and
realizing how he has continued to
prosper by VariOus wiles and crooked
ways, we are not an admirer of the
man. He is rather the crafty politician
than the high minded constitutional
American Statesman.
OF late years, too many Of the Sher
man breed of selfish politicians have
developed. They begin as poor patriots,
but soon manage to become rich, as they
favor schemes of monopoly and plunder.
Through whisky rings, etc., these pay
triOt leaders, many of them, have man
aged to become milliOnaires. In former
times patriots prided themselves on two
things: their own poverty and the riches
and glory of the State. But poor as they
we're, kings could not buy or intimidate
them. Some of our modern Republican
patriots soon get rich enough to buy a
king. MammOn seems to be the only
god these gentlemen worship. With
them riches make heaven; poverty, hell
And yet they profess to be Christians, all
except Bob lngersOll.
1t is due to Senator Sherman to credit
him with being a leading instrument
in counting in fraudulent President in
Rutherford B. Hayes. As visiting States
man he went to Louisiana and worked
up the Eliza PinkstOn horror which hG
spoke of in the Senate and openly pro
nOunced it true! As SanchO PanZa
said: "How this world is given tC
lyingP'
There is no Disgusting it, that Senator
Sherman has been lucky politician
This luck, too, has encouraged him tC
look higher. He has not forgotten
Charles Foster & Co. for deserting him
and taking Garfield at the Chicago
| convention two years ago. Mr. Sher'
man, no doubt, referred to FOster's
temperance hobby when he (Sher'
man) said at Columbus: 81 want tC
carry no mans hobby into this
contest" He is quite as likely to be
nominated next time for President as
some others, though President Arthur
will never forgive him, when, as Secre
tary of the Treasury under Hayes, he
turned Arthur out of the office of COllec,
tor of Customs at the port of New York
Arthur has a good memory and his
friend COnkling also has.

SENATOR sHERMAN bIames the Demo

SENATOR SHERMAN bIames the Demo-
cratic minority in Congress for neglects
and delinquences of that Republican
arrangement, and claims all credit to
the Republican majority for all the
good done. Thus it is: The Democrats
are always wrong and the Republicans
always right According to Mr.. Sher-
man, the Democrats when out of power,
are responsible; and the Republicans
when in power, must have credit for all
that is good, but are never responsible
for anything wrongl "Heads, win;
tails, you lOse," is the Senator's moral
measure in politics. Had it not been for
the goOdly turn out of ladies last Satur-
day evening, the Senator's audience
could have been put in a corner.

THE political assessment business has
disgusted Congressman CrapO, of Mass
achusetts, who writes that "there can
be no political exigency which will JUS
tify compulsory demand upon them
for money or other aid in carrying
elections" Mr.. CrapO is candidate for
the Republican nomination of Govern
OF of Massachusetts,, and has perhaps
ascertained that such political methods
are not popular in that section. Other
Congressman are out against the Hub
bell plan, but we have not heard of any
of them returning the money sent to
corrupt their districts. Cameron's con-
vention in, Pennsylvania denounced it,
but the effect was that State Chairman
Cooper clapped three per cent. on Hub
BELLS assessment. That's reform over
there. Congressman Mckinley don't
denOunce the gouge system. In fact he
is of Hubbell's committee.

IN another column of this paper will
be found a communication from ga
WOrkingman," whose indignation bOils
over at Senator Sherman's usual blOYiat-
ing at the reduction of the public debt.
The "wOrkingman" claims the Senator'S
statements are false in fact and theory.
There is little doubt, that, in real value,
measured by the gold standard, the pub
lie debt to-day Is greater than ten years
ago. Neither Mr.. Sherman nor he Re-
publican party desire or intend to pay
off the debt. If this were done the
national banks would lose their basis
and cease to exist as such. Hence, we
say there is no intention to pay off.
These men want to keep the country in
vOlved in debt. 1t is a fine place for
milliOnaires to invest their millions. THE
bonds are safe securities and the cOu-
pons good to clip and draw on. Sher-
man is one of these millionaires, if re-
ports be true, and all his talk about pay
ing off the debt is only to deceive and
catch gulls. This course is characteris-
tic of the man. He is a political
MachiaEelli, and one of the last men
entitled to the confidence or respect Of
wOrkingmen.

REFERRING to the Opera House amuse-
ment license ordinance, the DEMOCRAT
says:
We are, for the present, about through
with this question in the DEMOCRAT, but
had we been Mayor, under the circum-
stances, there would have been no license
issued.
In this the DEMOCRAT deliberately ad-
visee the violation of a regularly en-
forced law.-The Opera Repository.
1t was not ga regularly enforced law"
any more than the Pond law, which was
passed by the Legislature and knocked
into smitheernes by the Republican Su-
preme Court. Billy Wyant's rulings in
forcing it through under the eye of the
Opera master were in violation of the
printed rules of the Council; but that
made no difference to Billy. Mr.. Wyant
is crafty and bold; but he may find that
craft has its risks and boldness its perils

THE Cincinnati Commercial takes

THE Cincinnati Commercial takes the
position on the liquor question that
there Is no such issue before the people
Charles Foster s. Co. are claiming it is
the question, and advocate taxing the
liquor traffic as prOhibitOry measure
The Pond license law was passed with
that view, but Republican Supreme
Court pronounced the act uncOnstitu-
tiOnal. All persons in business are re-
quired to pay tax on their Investment
men dealing in liquor as we'll as others
Our system of taxation in Ohio is direct
and is assessed on all property accord
ing to its true value in money. No sys-
tenn prevails here Of obtaining revenue
by licenses. This plan found no favor
with the men who framed the COnstitu.
ton of 1851, nor with the people who
voted to accept their work. License is
privilege grant, and is a relic Of king
ly favor, and as relic has no business
in land of equal rights and popular
sovereignty.

ALLEN o. MYERS has been making
effective speeches in Carroll county,
speaking afternoon and evening. We
had the pleasure of hearing Mr.. Myers
address the Democratic county conVen-
tiOn at Carrollton last week. His
speech was we'll received. He discussed
the tariff question, showing the consti-
tutional and just position occupied by
the Democratic party, and the outrage
GUS policy of the Republican party,
robbing honest industry, that few
may revel in wealth. Mr.. Myers spoke
at Dell Roy the same evening.

MIR. WALLACE FOR CONGRESS

By the proceedings of the Democratic
Congressional Convention held in Alli-
ance last Thursday, and which proceed
ings will be found in another column
of this issue of the DEMOCRAT, it will be
seen that j. II. WALLACE, ESQ.,, of New
Lisbon, was nominated as our candidate
by acclamatiOn.
The nomination of Mr.. WALLACE is
one eminently fit and proper to be made.
AS citizen of standing and high char
acter, and as a lawyer of ability, he is
well known all over the district. He is
native of COlumbiana county, we be
lieve, and in age has probably reached
fifty. He is just the man who, in Con-
gress, would regard the constitution
and serve the people in the cause of
truth and justice. He would not be the
servile tool of any man or set of men,
nor would he dodge responsibility. The
good people of this district would never
regret electing so worthy and capable
a man as J. H. WALLACE.
With so excellent candidate for Con-
gress, and with county ticket 80 worthy
and acceptable, we think every Demo
crat in Stark county will do his full
duty as an American citizen, and be al
the polls on election day and vote the
Democratic ticket. Let but every Demo
crat do his full duty and we may all be
astOnished at the result. Let there be
no stay-at-homes this fall on election
day in Democratic households.

LOCAL CUSTOMS.


There are communities in Ohio where
public opinion renders it impossible to
violate that law with impunity. There
are communities, again, where the law
is a dead letter, for the reason that pub
lie opinion is not in harmony with the
law.
The law makes it penal offense to
carry
CONCEALED WEAPONS,
And for the second Offense the accused,
if found guilty, may be fined five hun
dred dollars, and imprisoned in the
county Jail three months; but for all
that, three out of every five boys in the
streets, do carry concealed weapons, and
scarce a murmur is heard against this
vicious custom; although our, daily
journals are filled with narratives Of
murder, and of attempts to commit
murder. Yet, no one has proposed to
prohibit the manufacture OF gun-p0wd-
or, pistols or Bowie knives, but the
murderer Is hanged for his Offense.
On the subject of temperance
THE PRoHIBITIoNIsTs
Are honest and sincere. Their theories
are UtOpian, but they believe them to
be sound. 1t is to be regretted that as
much cannot be said for the Republican
party.
AS a rule, all their talk about temper
ance is shear cheat. 1t is renewal
in another form of the infamous lie OF
1875, that the Democracy wished to ex-
clude the Bible from our schools; but by
echOing and re-echOing the idiOtic cry
from the lake to the river, they succeed
ed in making a sufficient number OF
fools believe the lie to be true, to enable
them to carry the State, by something
then, no one hears Republican allude
to that bugabOO, and in fact one of the
chief desires is that that fraud should
be forgotten.
And now the very men who addressed
meetings in 1880, beneath the fostering
shade of the banners of the brewers and
distillers, now raise the cry of temper
ance, and talk loudly of a heavy special
tax on liquor dealers, although the Su'
preme Court has just pronounced such
law to be unconstitutional; and In the
same manner they talked of the Bible
being driven from the public shools III
1875.
Heretofore, the same men have fairly
made the very cutters flow with free
whisky and free beer before every elec
ton; and now they Justify cry TEMPER
ANCE as though they expected any buI
fools to believe they were sincere.
Yes, fellow citizens, this hollow CRY
for temperance Is uttered by class o.
politicians who are ready to give a pre-
tended support to the real friends O
temperance on the one hand; or to thu
brewers and distillers on the other; pro
vided always they may be allowed Il
keep control of the public treasury.
| THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Is not based on a single idea, nor doe
1t rest upon fraud. Its principles un
derlie the whole structure of our society
and every Democrat who understand
the principles enunciated by Jefferson
and maintained by Jackson, will man
fully stand by the party of the peopl

The Cry OF ALEXANDRTA.-The pop
ulation of Alexandra has increased from
5000 century ago to 100000 to the
present day. The modern city is built
on the isthmus connecting the mainland
and itself. The new streets, like the
Rue Rar-el-Teen and the Ru de Medan,
present the aspect of European city,
but in the Turkish quarter the streets
are narrow and dirty. The new embark
ment along the eastern harbor, and the
new buildings on the great square of Nc
hemet Ali, have added greatly to the at
tractiveness 0! the city. The place of
the pasha and the lofty harem first strike
the strangers attention on entering the
city. Among other large buildings are
the custom-h the arsenal, the medi-
cal naval and other schools. The Place
Mehemet Ali, or grand square of the Con-
suls, where the greatest part of the mas
sacre in the recent riots took place, is the
center OF European Alexandria. The
old houses recall somewhat those of Ital-
ian seaports. On this square are the
principal hotels, bankers, Steamship Off
ces and the dwellings of most of the con-
suls. At each extremity of the square is
fountain, which, at sunrise and sunset
is surrounded by Arabs performing their
additions The Pasha's palace is finely
situated facing the sea, and is surround.
ed by beautiful gardens. The grand
staircase is of Carara marble. The build
ings of the harem stand opposite the pal
! ace.-NeO York Herald.
