THAT TREASURY MATTER.

tirct is, in several respects, one of the most
remarkable ever carried on in eastern Ohio
| An element of personality has been intro
duced BY the organ of Colonel Taylor,
which is owned by him and his brother.
This descent from the discussion Of great
politics to the throwing Of mud balls is
something new in the district and was
never before resorted to by either party,
even though there were candidates within
the party ten years whose private and social
| characters were very vulnerable.
This style of journalism is according to
approved Taylor methods, and the family
has been holding and seeking Office so long,
that they have mastered the art of misrep-
resentation and villi6cstion. Even so up
right Judge rs w. Il. Frazier, respected
and beloved by all without regard to poll
tics; he, who is now one of the Republican
candidates for Circuit Judge, was bounded
and villi6ed because hi friends dared to
mention his name in connection with a
Congressional nomination when j. d. Tay-
| lor had aspirations in that direction. The
lamented Updegraff was hurried to his
grave by the attacks made upon him by the
| Guernsey Times, under the direction of }.
d. Taylor, and his intimates assert that his
sensitive spirit grieved 10 the last, over the
base ..ingratitude Of the Taylors.

held up to ridicule, week after week, be-
cause he had the temerity to assert the priv

for Congress. Some of the citizens Of this
district are not too old to remember the po
litical events of 1866 to 1870, when Colonel
TAYLOR was editor of the Times, and when
he was first attacked by the Congressiona

and Indianapolis; during all the war h
had slept on nothing harder than the couch
of the bridal chamber at the Nel
House, Columbus; he had made

wealthy heiress, and had returned home VIC
torious. Even at that early day he was in
aated with sense Of his own Importance,
and started in to write down the veteran
Bingham, pursuing the same course that he
is now MISUNDERSTANDING kilograms 10 all
the daily papers, booming himself and de-
CRYING his opponent and copying these arti-
cles into his own paper. lfsnybody doubts
the truth of this, read the back numbers Of

Finally Taylor attained to the position of
his most ambitious hopes. BY the lottery
of death, he succeeded Mr.. Updegraff. He
has now sat two sessions in the lower house
of Congress, and nobody can tell one thing
he has ever done there, except to print
speeches he never delivered to send tele
grams over the country praising himself,
and to introduce bills which he never ex.

Your correspondent had talk few
weeks ago with a Congressman from an
other State-a Republicans. He was not
acquainted with Mr.. Taylor and had no
hesitancy in saying that he was bore,
always wanting a few minutes Of some
member in order to get the right to print
some electioneering document in the Record,
The principal, indeed all the real work in
Congress is done in committees. Mr.
TAYLOR was notably weak in committee
work. in fact he did nothing Of any benefit
in that line.
Six Minutes.
In the last hours Of the last session OF
Congress, Mr.. Taylor was granted SIX min
utes in which to make a speech. He made
few com mon place remarks to winch no
one could object, and was granted leave to
extend his rSnarks in the Record. Under
such circumstances il is the standing rule OF
courtesy tba, a member shall not Dot any
personal attack in the Record, unless it was
spoken on the floor of the House. Bat Mr..
Taylor dsregarded all parliamentary con,
siderations and after taking a month u
prepare his speech, be came out in the
Congressional Record Of August lst, weeks
after congress had adjourned, and when
there was no chance to make reply
