A BIG REPUBLICAN REVOLT. .

GALLIPOLIs, o., Sept. 21.-The Repub-
licans of this erstwhile Republican Glib
raltar are in state of mind concerning
the revolution of the 1000 cOlOred vOt-
ers, whose steadfast and solid adherence
to the party has for more than a dozen
years crowned the Republican banner
with the laurels of victory. The cOlOred
voters came to the conclusion that their
own and their children's welfare de-
manded that they raise the flag of revO-
luton against their Republican task
masters. If they fight it out they will
achieve their political and educational
emancipation. Five or six hundred col
Ored voters for the independent ticket
this fall will bring them just and prop
er recognition.
Last night there was rOusing meet
ing of the cOlOTed voters at the court
house In ratification and support of the
Independent ticket, at which Hon. G. +
Armistead, the candidate for the Legis.
lature, delivered speech that has called
forth the warmest concentrations Oh
all sides. Letters were read from indie
pendent cOlOred clubs in sixteen differ
ent counties in Ohio, indOrsing the
course of the cOlOred voters of Gallii
county and promising moral and ma
terial support.

BOILER EXPLOSION AT PITTSBURGH.

PITTBURGH, Sept. 21.-Thursday af-
ternOOn shock was felt throughout the
city which shook buildings, mashed
windows, and terribly frightened the
residents south of the city, who rushed
from their houses into the streets in
terror. Immediately after an alarm Of
fire was struck, and it was found that
the large boilers in the Hanging depart
ment of the Sligo Iron Works had explO
ded with great violence, scattering frag-
ments in every direction, setting fire to
the l.. +. railroad shops and number of
dwelling houses in the vicinity. The
news of the disaster spread rapidly, and
soon thousands of people were on their
way to the scene. A fearful scene met
their gaze. The boiler department, a
brick structure, was completely wreck
ed, as were also a number of passenger
and freight cars, and the master me-
chanics' shop on the l.. 4. railway, while
a row of dwellings on the opposite side
of the street were in flames. Men, wO-
men and children were running about
wringing their hands and calling for
friends, whom they supposed were Ell
ther killed or wounded. In the ruins of
the Hanging department were scattered
the dead and dying; some with arms and
legs off; some disfgured beyond recOg-
milton, and others suffering from fearful
burns and sealds. By the time the DO
lice arrived in force the work Of remoV-
ing the killed and injured was begun.
1t was found that at the time Of the ex-
plOsiOn twenty men were at work. OF
these, nine were reported all right, three
were killed and eight badly injured,
four fatally, while four children of
Charles Douglass, who lived across the
way, were also badly hurt.

WASHINGTON.
Stealing From the People by the
Thousands.
A Case Of Official Embezzlement Which
John Sherman Kept from the
Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The structures
recently published in the Sun upon the
lOOseness and insecurity which prevails
in the Treasury Department, and espec-
tally in the Office of the u. 8. Treasury.
have been warmly commended here. 1T
is fact known to many who have been
in the Government service, that steal
ing has been more frequent than is gen
orally known. There is one case that
John Sherman smOthered and kept from
the press and the public.
In the winter of 1879, Mr.. Herring of
Massachusetts, Deputy Second Auditor
of the Treasury, died, and Mr.. Harman
of New Hampshire was appointed his
successor. As Is customary in the de-
partment, the Auditor, Mr.. French, since
dead, gave to Harman a memorandum
of the contents of The safe, which inclu-
ded among other things, $4,000 in U. s.
bonds, the property of the Government,
which had been in the custody of Her
ring.
Upon opening and examining the safe
the $4,000 was found missing. The
matter was reported to the Auditor, and
he Immediately enjOined secrecy until
further examination. After few days
nothing was heard of the matter, as it
was dangerous to discuss it in the bu-
reau, but 1t was admitted by Herring's
friends and associates in the office, that
he had invested the money in some en-
terprise and lost it.
The money, 1t was stated, was inten
ded for pension claims, which, after be-
ing allowed, were found to be crooked
and fraudulent, and under the good old
times, and the infallible system of
checks and counter checks in the Treas
ury Department, the Deputy Second Au-
ditOr was also able to keep this $4,000
in his possession for years and finally
embeZzle it.
Nothing, however, was done by SheT-
man to recover the money, and no one
the Government; so that the taxpay-
ers lost $4,000 by this operation alone.

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY MUST GO
JUST WHAT 1T MEANS.

The cry the Republican party must go ?
says cOneisely what thinking men feel.
1t means more than at first appears.
At the outset, observed Not RepubIi-
cans, but the Republican party, must
go.
Not intolerance of men. but Of meth
Ods; not hatred of principles, but of
power abused; not prejudice against a
party for what 1t has been, but contempt
for what it is, is the meaning.
1t is not vindictive; it is not narrow
minded. 1t expresses truth.
Long continuance in power is fatal
to any party. We do not attempt to
trace the steps Of this inevitable decay
We do seek that this decay of a mere
party shall by no means corrupt the
body polite. We find disease. We
seek health.
There is no hope for the Republican
party in itself. 1t must go. The salt
has lost its SAVIOR. Is there a Sumner,
or Greeley, or Phillips, or Lincoln,
or Garrison, or a Seward to-day Civ

Outlived its vigor. Old, but no longer
grand, 1t must go. DOrseys and Bradys,
Belknaps and BabcOcks, HOwgates and

sons and Chambers are the men who, in
spirit or in person, rule.
For what does it existp
The great mass of its own nominal
adherents have lost faith in it. ThOus-
ands whose lives have been spent in its
service see that its usefulness is past.
Well for this party If its history had
closed before 1876. In the eight years
past who will sum up the losses of the
Republican partyp Men of conscience,
men of honesty, have been compelled to
leave it. Patience has ceased to be a

ARCHITECT HILL CONDEMNED.
Found Guilty of Neglect and Gross Favo,
itism.

Found Guilty of Neglect and Gross Favor
itism. -
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The commit
tee appointed by Secretary FOlger to in
vestigate the affairs of Architect Hill
submitted its report yesterday. 1t finds
Hill careless of the interests of the gov
ernment, guilty of gross favOritism in
awarding contracts, censuTable in other
respects, but not necessarily corrupt. 1t
severely criticiZes his action in not let
ting the contract for iron shutters for
the Cincinnati building to the lowest
bidders, Manly, Cooper s. Co., and says
he evidently did not intend they should
have the contract; also his action in let
ting the contract for elevators without
advertisement. 1t also finds him guilty
of improperly in the appointment of
Newton, an emplOye of Bartlett, Rob-
bins 81 Co., to inspect the materials fur
nished by that firm. The report says:
"Such official favOritism is so manifest
in the conduct Of the supervising archi-
tect's office, as to give some color of
truth to the statement made by Coleman
in his argument, that in everything
that goes to make up building, Hill
has some one person, or some one firm
with whom he deals, to the exclusion
of everybody else." The report con-
cludes with recommendation for the
appointment of board similar to the
lighthouse board, to discharge the du-
ties relative to the selection Of sites and
the construction Of public buildings.

WE observe by the Akron Times that
the Labor Assembly of Akron has adopt
ed a resolution, with whereas, to sup
port Rose, Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor; and Parker, Democrat,
candidate for the Legislature.
Their reason given is that Rose is a
friend of the labOring man. Yes, Rose,
when Mayor of Cleveland, showed his
friendship for the striking laborers by
having the military at the armOry for
days, with loaded muskets, ready to fire
upon these wOrkingmenl 1t looks as if
some persons there we're manipulating a
bargain and sale arrangement. No
doubt there is moneyed consideration
somewhere. ats G
"And looked at closer, craft and fraad appear;
Fen liberty itself Is bartered here"
We hope to know more of 1t in time.
The Times, as yet, has nothing to say
about it. We remain happy In the con-
ISOLATION that Akron is where Congress
man ID. r. Paige lives; that he Is chair
man Of the Democratic State committee,
and that the two gentlemen in our dis
trict who are members OF the State and
campaign committees, are close friends
Of Mr.. Paige. We therefore live in
hopes; and trust not to die in despair,
even after the election.

GEORGE DAVIS, a prominent Republic
can of SciotO county, is heading a bolt
against Foraker. Davis was connected
with the SciOtO Trust Company, and
charged that Foraker got an agent to
drum up false claims against them, on
which he expected to realize largely by
the drive, and Davis says it was the
worst kind of black mail. ALI Of the
officers of the association were promi-
nent men and Republicans, and they are
starting a movement along the river
against Foraker. They say that the
system Of operations from which it was
expected to realize largely was what in
duced the Judge to resign from the
bench.

was small and not very enthusiastic. It
was evidently not in the interest of tar
