MoKINLEY AND wALLACE.

The above is the caption of an editor
ial which appeared in the Youngstown
News. Register on Saturday, Nov. 4th, in
which the editor, in the interest of Mr..
Mckinley, discusses very fairly the right
and duty of the proper officers to count
all the votes cast for that candidate
which the ballot evidently showed for
whom the eleetOr intended to vote. He
then saws: I'VE have no personal knOwl-
edge of the number of votes cast for
William Mckinley, Major Mckinley and
Mckinley, but have been informed that
48 such votes have been found in the
ballot boxes of MahOning, Stark and
Columbia a counties"
Now. as the editor of the Youngstown
News-Register assures tis readers and
the public, that "the fair and honest con-
duet Of everything pertaining to cleo
tiOns, Is of ily more Importance than
the placing of one man in official posi-
tiOn," in which sentiment we most
heartily concur: Will the editor please
inform the public through the columns
of his paper, by whom he was Informed
that 4S such votes have been found in
The ballot boxes of MahOning, CUlum-
biana and Stark counties" giving the
name or names of the party or persons
who found them, and the time when?
This is a matter of public interest,
and there should De no secrecy ABOUT IL.
We desire to know who has been looking
into these ballot boxes and counting
the tickets since the election, and found
therein 48 ballots not counted for Nc
Kinley in the three counties named.
If the friends of Wallace found these
ballots, name them. If the friends Of
Mckinley found them, name them. The
friends of neither, up to this hour, have
had the right to examine into the con-
tents of the ballot boxes. The judges
and clerks of the election had no right
to do it, much less to permit others to
examine and find what ballots are in
the boxes.
Section 1857, of the laws regulating
the conduct of elections" among other
things, provides that after the ballots
have been counted and strung they
shall be deposited in the box and lock-
ed, and the box and contents delivered
to the officer authorized to receive and
keep the same. and the minority judge
of the election shall keep the key or
keys, and the box shall remain locked
until the expiration of the time within
which any legal notice of contest can
be given, and if such notice be given,
shall remain locked until the trial of
such contest is pending. Patriot.

REPUBLICAN PAPERS REJOICING
OVER ROBESON'S CEFEAT.
TFroln tbe Ny. EVENING Post. I

IFrOm the n. Y. Evening Postl
The defeat of Mr.. Robson in New
Jersey shows that he was wrong when
he said that not only was he what he
had been, but what he was he was going
to remain. What he was-a member of
COngress-he ought never to have been,
and is not going to remain. He will
now go back to the position he ought
never to have left-that of an industri
GUS country lawyer. He has talents
enough undoubtedly for wider sphere,
and, perhaps, has virtue enough, too,
but somehow he has utterly failed to
persuade the country that he is honest.
Ever since he was Secretary of the
Navy there has been a widespread and
uncOnquerable belief that he was gross
ly corrupt. He thought, apparently,
that by getting elected to Congress he
could Vindicate himself and put this be-
lief down. But unhappily his appear
ance and dOings in Congress only
strengthened it and spread 1t, and he
has been for the last two years at least,
since Speaker Keifer put the House into
his hands, new burden for the unfOr-
tunate Republican party.

George NJ. RObesOn, now that he is de-

abuse from papers that would have been
blind to his faults if he had gained a

has done great harm to the Republican
party, never more than in the last year.

Among the great lamented defeated,
George RObesOn goes down as one quite

polls have given. 1t was by him that
Mr.. Keifer was forced into Speakership,
and by him largely Congress was led to
neglect its duty and perpetrate its con-
spicuOus fOllies. Since the House of
Representatives could not be saved, it is
poetic justice that Robson is made to
feel the consequences of the shOrtcOm-
ingS of the recent Congress.

THERE are few outlying districts in
the South from which full returns have
not been received, but it is probable the
next House Of Representatives will
stand 1874 Democrats and 131 Republi-
cans, or a Democratic majority of 63.
The Senate will stand, Democrats, So;
Republicans, 38, and Readjusters, 2.
The Republicans only score majority
by the aid of Malone. He will again
boss the Republican side of the Senate.

The air is not invigOTating for Stall
wartism.-RepOsitOry.
No; StalwaTt Republicans have been
hearing from the people. Cameron's
Pennsylvania, Arthur's New York, Hub
BELLS Michigan, ETC., ETC., have followed
Ohio. The people have spoken; and Re-
publican leaders and Republican policy
are signally condemned.
Half-breed may blame StalWart; and
Stalwart may retort on Half-breed; but
the fact remains that Republican bosses
are overwhelmed and hereafter none
will be found to do them reverence; no,
not one!
The Republican party has submitted
to the rule of their bosses for long years.
!! he machine has been in their hands,
and the administration of public affairs
has been in the line of plumber and
profit, all to the injury and robbery of
the people. Monopoly has hOurished,
and those in power have ruled with a
high hand without regard to justice and
right. The wonder is, the thing did not
break down sooner.
But it is now over withi the "grand
old Republican party" and it is doubt
full if any sound will awake it to glory
again" There is 'crape on the door,
and death in the house. In life it was
not lovely, and in death it is not beauti-
full. 1t was ever narrow and sectional
in its scope; selfish and corrupt in its
nature and aims.

Resurrection shall never restore it to life!

1T is melancholy to think how many
more Republicans are pinning their
faith on "the Democrats making fools
OF themselves" than on the Republicans
deserving to recover their lost power.
when it comes to making fools of them
selves, the Republicans are rapidly los
ing all chance to twit the other fellows,
The Democrats got a majority in the
House and kept 1t for six years, even
making fools of themselves" They

WE have no personal knowledge of
the number of votes cast for William
Mckinley, Major Mckinley, and -
Mckinley; but have been informed that
43 such votes have been found in the
ballot boxes of MahOning, Stark and
COlumbiana counties. There is no doubt
in the mind of any one that it was the
intention of all these electors to vote
for William Mckinley jr., and If the
others are counted for Jonathan IL. Wal
lace, surely these will be counted for
Mckinley. These things always have
two sides. and men should suspend
judgment until the whole truth is
knOwn.-YoungstOwn News-Register.
1--WE have no personal knowledge Of"
any votes cast for Mckinley in any
shape that were not tailed and return
ed. Certainly none have been returned
in the scattering shape for Mckinley,
as for Wallace. We learn, in fact, that
all such scattering votes, even in Co.
lumbiana county, were tailed and re-
turned for william Mckinley jr. 1t is
shown and admitted that this was not
the case with Wallace.
None of the Mckinley organs have
located a single instance where Mr.,
Mckinley was deprived of vote. With
regard to Wallace's case there is no
doubt. The failure to count, and the
failure to return votes cast and intend
ed for him is admitted and not denied.
As the case stands, then, there is but
one side to it. Jonathan H. Wallace is
the member-elect from this district, and
will occupy the seat, without doubt.

last year.

IT is time that JUSTICE were again
the aim in managing public affairs and
in enacting laws. The scheme of the
star route party leaders has been to leg
islate for capital, at the expense of la
Dor and honest business. Monopoly in
every shape has been the rule. The
people all over the country now see it,
and this accounts for the late election
results.

Almost all the historians Of the French
Revolution have represented the famous
wound of Robespierre ~ sell-inficted.
Most Of them state that the bullet he
aimed at his own head broke the jaw

makes lighter u the wound, and in his
account VI the scene ct the Hotel de

upon himself, but the ball, striking be-
meath the under lip, only pierced the
cheek and infii.ted severe, though not
dangerous wound" This version is now
in process of being altogether upset by
an account of tho circumstances given in
the pages Of La France. This journal
repruduces . deposition made by the
gendarn,e Media or Merida, afterward q
Colo,.s 81 in the army and Baron OF tho

support the story contained in 1t. The

period, representing Media in the act OF
discharging his pistol. and by the fact
that Media was shortly afterward pre-
.ented to the Convention and warmly

having committed this assault. The
other story is supposed to rest chiefly on
