Senator Window spoke briefly but
eulogistically of Mr.. Dorsey, with
whom he had long been intimate and
who had for six years been his col
league in the Senate Committee on
Appropriations. In that body he was
always conspicuous for honesty, ear
nsstness, energy, organising power,
and all those qualities which 90 to
make success and which had been in-
dicated 80 prominently by his recent
services. He was one of the best and
truest of friends, with WON ans ten
dernsss of heart, yet brave as Julius
Caesar"
The Rev. Henry Ward Beechsr. be-
ing called upon, said he was not there
as reverend, and it was we'll for some
of them that he was hot. Laughter
He paid high tribute to the services
of Senator Dorsey. which he said was
a "service to the nation in its best in
terests."
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, in response to a
toast to the press, made short speech
in which he was less eulogistic of Mr..
Dorsey than the other speakers, con-
tenting himself with remarking =
" Immediately after General Garfield,
it seems to me, thanks most fifty and
properly come to your guest this eve
ming, Mr.. Dorsey"
Mr.. Emory Storrs. of Chicago, said
he had travelled thousand miles to be
present at "this magnificent gathering
to testify devotion to the great party
to which the assembly belonged, and
to voice their appreciation of the SER
vices of Stephen w. Dorsey"
Ex-Governor Boutwell, in the course
of his speech, made the somew hat
enigmatical remark that the means
employed by the Republican party al
ways corresponded to the principles
imperiled ia the election"
Mr.. John C.. New, of Indiana, said
he had come 500 miles to testify his
regard for Mr.. Dorsey.

THE Republicans of the counties of
,Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga, Portage and
Summit, held their convention to
nominate a candidate for Senator, in
Reeds Opera House in this village, on
Wednesday of last week. The several
counties were pretty fully represented,
but no great amount of enthusiasm
was manifested. The contest for the
nomination lay between Hon. S. P.
WOlcott, of Portage, and Henry Tai
colt. Esq, of Ashtabula. The former
won at the first heat, the vote being
WolcOtt, 80: Talcott, So; blank, 6;
Burroughs, 8. A committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon the winner, who
being trotted in, made short and
characteristic speech, thanking the
Convention for it's favor, but he didn't
attempt.tO either explain, or apologize
for, his vote for the intolerant and in
famous Russell law imposing tax Of
$500 on Spiritualistic mediums for ex.
ercising their calling, and making the
violation of any of the provisions Of
the act misdemeanOr punishable by

a@aVHERD negd be mo trouble, says the
Western Reserve Democrat, in deter
mining which party is responsible for
the reduction of thewool tariff. 1t is
simply a question of figures. The
Republicans had the President, that
President appoiAted . Republican
Tariff Commission, that Commission
reported in favor of destroying the
wool tariff, a congress overwhelmingly
Republican in both branches, able to
fix the tariff at ten dollars per pound
if it desired. passed the bill by an af-
| flrmative vote of l33 Republican and
II Democrats, to a negative vote of II
Republicans and SO Democrats, and
the Republican President signed the
bill aud made it law. The Democrats
saw that the Republicans were tamely
submitting to the dietatien of the in
famous lobby then presentin full force
\ and refused TO become parties to the
infanly. A party having as large a
majority as the Republicans had can.
not throw the responsibility of its in
iquities upon the minority. They
tried that with the River and Harbol
steal, but as soon as the elections were
ever they plead guilty. They tried il
with the Salary Grab, but the people
couldn't swallow it. They must nov
answer for the crime of unseatint
Democratic members of the last Con
gress. That is q question. that will
not down. 81 Will they try to make tia
Democrats responsible for that? 1t i
not strange that they are ashamed 9

The New Yark Times, the leading
Republican organ of the country, ut
ters the following in regard to manu-
facturers and the tariff. 1t says:
MANY of our manufacturers could
if they were unhampered by the tariff,
not only defy foreign competition in
the home market, but command a
profitable export trade as well. 1t is a
mistaken application of the doctrine
of protection to prevent this. If that
be done, protection becomes favoritism.
1t is net fostering one important inter-
est at slight general cost; it is foster
ing special interests at the expense of
others of equal Importance and to the
general disadvantage. Such misap-
piled bounty should be gradually done
away with. What the country now
requires is steady approach toward
commercial independence that will
give US the full benefit of our rich re
sources, our varied natural energy ,and
our bensficent political institutions"
