"TELL THE TRUTH"

Was the answer Of Governor Cleveland
when asked by his friends what they
should say about the assaults upon him,
lie has no fears Of exposure, and all he
had to soy was, "tsll the TRUTH This
came by telegraph.
When james G, Blaine found his acts
as a tranlCker In legislation, while hold
ing the third Office In the Government,
we're on the point Of being brought out
by the investigation Of the Judiciary
Committee, his attitude was the reverse
Of Governor Cleveland. Suppress the
truth and declare lilo was his appeal
to the witness Mulligan, We quote the
Associated Press dispatch from Wash.
ington, Of June lst, 1876.
James Mulligan said he wanted to
make q statement before continuing his
examination lie said that when he ar
rived here q note came down from Mr.,
Blaine requesting the witness and Mr.,
Fisher to call at his house, witness de-.
clIned to 20, but Mr., Fisher went, After

Mr.. Blaine to take them under q pledge
that no would return them. lie looked
them over and did return them. This
was in the presence OF Mr., Fisher aud
Mr., Atkins, Witness then retired TO his

EDMUNDs ON BLAINE,

The Springfield Republican (Rep)
says: "A good deal is being said about
the opinions which Senator George h.
Edmunds held concerning James q.
Blaine In 1880, and inquiries were made
as to the reliability of certain state
ments made concerning them. II 10
we'll known In Vermont that Mr.. Ed
mpnds then stood with Judge Poland
In distrusting Mr.. Blaine. While MIR.
Edmunds did not desire q nomination
TO the Presidency, he was periodically
anxious that Vermont should send no
delegates who would vote for Blaine In
any event. This led him to write let
ter which was circulated among some
of his leading political friends. II is
stated Mr.. Edmunds' association with
James G. Blaine led him to regard tho
Maine Senator as the champion of cor
pOTation lobbyists, and the latter en-
forced this general statement with saw
age directness, by adding that whenever
Edmunds and Thurman had Joined
to defeat Gould's schemes, James g.
Blaine invariably started up from be-
hind Gould's breastworks, musket In
hand The Vermont Senator further
added that In his opinion Mr.. Blaine
could not be elected, and even II he
could be, he ought not to be. This Is
powerful testimony, brethren. II was
conscientiously presented by cool,
calm, cautious man and a veteran law
yer, one who uses language with dls
elimination and the fullest knowledge
of Its meaning, The judgment declared
was net born out Of the partisan feroc.
ity Of a political campaign, hut was the
deliberate statement Of intense cOnylc-
tion; and II is justly entitled TO
great weight when the people come
to Judge Of one who, rs Speaker Of
the House, traillcked for private gain
on his official position"

MAJOR MCKINLEY


Is labOring these days In Medina and
Summit counties, We hope the Major
does not forget protection to American
labOr;" that he explains how wrong 1t
Ia for laboring men to organize for mu'
tual "prOtectioni" that laboring men
who dare to organize should be "locked
OUT; that no sided with and stood by
the employers AT East Liverpool two
years ago, who locked out some seven
hundred workmeni that these locked
out workmen defeated him for Congress
and elected Major Wallace.
Mr.. Mckinley should also touch upon
the wool question in order to smoothe
the farmers up that way. He should
skip over the fact that II was Repub-
lican Congress that reduced the protec-
tlOn on wool; but he should not fall to
expatiate upon tho wicked Democratic
House of last winter, that failed to put
wool back to where II was. OF course,
with Mr.. Mckinley Republicans never
do wrong, and Democrats never do
right.
We fear our amiable friend will neg
leCt to speak of the free importation OF
"pauper labor" to take the place OF
locked out and discharged Americans,
as In the Hammer Works AZ Alliance
and other places. This Is one of the
beauties of Republican protection"
Major Mckinley might mention the
fact that no Ia now running for Con-
gress for the llfth time In succession,
and that he expects TO continue, nd In
linitum, In this way, these days, are
our great men made, not born. IL Is a
manufactured article. and newspapers

poaltOry, we must say, In this c0nnec'
ton, Is entitled to great credit.

that Secretary McPhereon, of the Repub-
llcan Congressional Committee, has ap-
piled TO the Secretary of the Treasury
for q statement of the copies and defal-

the object being TO show that the Re-
publican Administrations are yirtuous,

of "turn tho rascals out" Considering
the gigantic frauds OF the whisky
ring for punishing which Secretary
Brlstow was forced TO quit q Republi-

French arms speculation, the Navy De-
partment jobs In building war vessels
and selling material TO party fayorites,
the RobesOn scandals, the Credit MObll-

the Schuyler COlfax scandal, the re-
peated defalcations Of disbursing off,
GERS at Washington who enjoyed the d.
rect favor of their Cabinet chiefs, the
frauds Of the New York Custom-house,
which led TO Mr.. Arthur's dismissal by
Hayes; the legalized pillage OF the
Southern States by the licensed bandits
of the Republican party; the grand job
of the Public Credit act Of 1869; the post
trader scandals under Belknap; the jobs
Of the Washington City ring; the De
GOlyer pavement job; the theft OF the
Presidency and all the patronage OF the
Government by the Electoral fraud of
1875; the robbery OF hundreds Of mil
