NOTWITHSTANDING the action Of the
Ohio Republican board of canvassers in al
lowing the congressional certificates te
those who were equitably entitled t.
them and tho refusal of the board to spill,
hairs over returns made out differently.
but all intended for the same person, it
seems that in one district the Democratic
candidate, Jonathan II. Wallace, who was
elected by is majority, was deprived ol
his seat and his certificate was given to
Mckinley, Republican, because 23 votes
intended for Wallace were ballots
which bore irregular We. siOns of his name.
This case may afford the Democratic
House an opportunity to do equity.
The Philadelphia Press expects to see
Democratic valor come and 60 before the
proposed contest of J. ". Bosler for the
seat in the Senate to which Capt. s. c.
Wagner, of the Cumberland and Adams
district, was elected. As Wagner had a
majority of 137, against the most des
perate efforts and lavish expenditures OF
the opposition, he can contemplate with
complacency the exertion of his opponent to
prove afirmatively that many irregular or
unlawful votes cast for Wagner. But
when this shall have been done, if it ever
comes to pass, Bosler's troubles will only
begin. Fortunately these contests are
investigated judicially and abundant op-
portunities will be afforded the Democrats
to show where Bosler's money did him the
most good. We have had several of these
election contests in these parts, and the
result has invariably been to increase the
majority of tho elected and contested
Democrat.

in-law of Boss Cameron, Republican of

this be has done with telling effect. The

a speech. In the course of his remarks he
said:

HANGING OF GARRETT.

From indianapolis Sentinel. April 25.I
The startling news was flashed over the
wires yesterday that Oscar NJ. Garrett had
been taken from the Jail at GreensbuTg, De
catur County. and hung by a mob. The
outrage was committed at about 3
clock, Monday morning Last Jan
uary John 81. Walton, wealthy
farmer of Decatur County, was murdered,
Circumstances led to the arrest of negro
named Frazier as the guilty person, who
confessed the crime, and, in his confession,
Implicated the wife OF the murdered man
and Garrett, the man who finally fell a vic
tim to mob violence. In this con-
nection it is well to state that Garrett
passed the ordeal of a trial, and
was declared by Juary of his peers Not
guilty" notwithstanding this. many of
his neighbors believed him to have planned
the murder, and, quite independent of
Frazier's confession, there were many cir
cumstances well calculated 10 arouse the in
dignation of his neighbors against him.
The foregoing is the case with which
the people of Decatur County have had to
deal-and the way they have seen proper to
dispose of it must of necessity be a disgrace
of almost ceaseIess duration to Decatur
County and to the State OF Indiana.
For such a crime as the mob

furthermost limits of mitigation. II is a
public horror. IL is treason to everything
of good report in society. 1t is murderous
anarchy, and unless rebuked at all hazards
and without reference to cost of time, money
and labor, must cover Indiana with shame
and confusion. Admitting that circum-
stances all pointed to Garrett as the insti-
gator of Wslton's death; admitting that
general rumOr. relating TO improper rela-
lions between Garrett and Mrs. Walton, was
well-founded, still the verdict of the Jury

victed and hung. No more serious business
now confronts the people of Decatur County
than to ferret out the men engaged in hang
ing Garrett, and if Decatur County is not
equal to the task, State authority and State
resources should be brought to bear upon
the matter. and the good name of the State,
by prompt action, should be rescued from

TOO MICH NOBILITY

Some years ago very foolish woman, the
wife of the Bonanza King, Mackey, name
that smacks precious little of blue blood,
concluded that the American continent was
not big enough TO hold her and her
daughter, and therefore she set sail for Eu-
rope, located in Paris, built, hired or pur-
chased a sort of palace, fitted it up with
servants, got the title of Bonanza Queen, y
hung out her Single as the richest woman
in the gay capital, gave big dinners called
around her all the arisJocFatic, titled snobs
she could catch with that sort of bait,
and was happy to- see her name and
glowing reports of her nauseating nonsense
in Partisan cheap prints, which were from
time to time reproduced in American jour
nails. While the Bonanza Queen was sling
ing money away by thousands, the old Be-
nanza King remained in America to see
that the "balance of trade didn't get on
the wrong side of his ledger and compel him
to stop shipping gold to France. To make
this whole disgusting business as distasteful
and as repugnant as possible, the old "Bo-
nanza Queen" has managed TO make it ap.
pear that her daughter is in demand, and
that all the broken down heirs Of the de-
funct dynasties of Europe are besieging

The Washington Post, in an article cap
toned the Tariff Commission Chances"
remarks that ''the bill is intended to be a
protectionist measure. Every Republican
who has spoken in its favor, or will lend it
his vote. believes in the principle of pro-
lection for the sake of protection. Those
few Republicans, like Belford, who will
vote as he has spoken, against it, do so on
the ground that it is a scheme to perpetuate
the present tariff, which they do not favor.
Every Democrat who, under the lead of Car
isle and Hewitt, will declare against it, op-
poses the Morrill, and Kelly theory and votes
in accordance with such opposition. So far
there is entire agreement as tothe meaning
of the bill and the significance of affirma-
tive or negative votes, protectionists favor
ing and free traders and revenue reformers
opposing the project because it is admitted
to be, as it was designed, in the interest OF
protectionists only" No intelligent citizen
has at any time doubted the purpose of the
tariff commission bill. 1t is in the interest
of protection, in the interest of monopolies,
and every man who has voted for it, or who
may vote for it, has sold out to monopolists,
mails he win expend his wind for nsught.

the present ubiquitous tariff What are
they likely to get? A Tariff Commission,

IT is not in the nature of things that the
working classes will be indifferent to the
blow that has been struck by President
Arthur at the interests and dignity OF
American labor. We do not believe any
false issue can be invented by the Republi
can managers that will serve to disguise OF
obscure the manifest tendency of the Re-
publican party with reference to the inter
ests and dignity of the laboring classes.
Workingmen-and by this term ne mean
al men Who earn their livelihood BY labor,
whether OF a mental or manual character
can now perceive in the late action of Presi-
dent Arthur on the Chinese question just
what they may expect at the hands of the
Republican party. We greatly misjudge
the character of the American industrial
classes if their influence does not make
itself felt with crushing effect upon the Re
publican party in the coming elections.
