After I'appan's Scalp.
Chillicothe Advertiser.

''The Kenyon College boys are un-
der ALLEGATIONS to the Republicans
for nominating Prof. Tappan for
State School Commissioner"
The speaker was formerly a stu
dent at Kenyon College.
Il suppose all the old college boys
will rally to the support of Tappan, y
remarked the reporter.
"Yes, they'll rally; but with a
knife in their boot legs, and won't
they whoop up things for Tappan?'
"YOu don't seem to be stuck on
your old instructor?'
"Stuck? Well, l should say not
Neither is any one that went to Ken:
yon while Tappan had anything to
do with the institution. He never
treated the students like young men,
but, instead, like a lot ofsmall boys,
who were entitled to no respect nor
becoming treatment. There never
was college professor anywhere
who was more thoroughly despised
by students than this same Tappan.
Why, while l was at Kenyon he was
hung in efflgy. He has had mania
for office. The college students well
knew this weakness, and at one
election every student entitled to
vote scratched the name of his party
candidate for Infirmary Director
from his ticket and inserted Tappan's s
name. The people over the county
didn't understand why Tappan was
voted for in College township for In
firmary Director-they didn't know
that the students took that means to
humiliate him for his general mean
ness. For number of years Tap
pan was President of the college, and
from the time he assumed the office
to the day he resigned, old Kenyon
was on the downward course. The
number of students in attendance
grew less year after year, and if it
had not been heavily endowed it
would have been compelled to close
its doors while Tappan was at the
head of it."
$50 the old boys will not rush to
the support of Tappan?"
NO, sir; there are many of the
old students or Kenyon College, in
Ohio, and l guess they all feel graf
ifed to the Republicans for nomina.
ting him, thus giving them an op-
portunity to present their compli-
ments to him by voting against him
on election day. Besides, Tappan
is not fit man for the place."
"Why, Prof. Tappan is learned
man."
'Yes, he has plenty of book larn-
in,' but that is all. lie is simply a
theorist. There is nothing practical
about the man. He never had any
experience in the common schools
and if he were placed at the head OF
the system his term would be one of
experiments, which would result to
the injury of the common schools
If the people of Ohio were as vel
acquainted with Prot. Tappan as are
the old students of Kenyon, he would
be defeated by the largest majority
ever cast against candidate for of
flee in the State of Ohio"

CATION to Mr.. briggs, the nominee,
who will be elected if the vote of
the district be cast according to it's
politics. There are but few Repuh-
licans, as rule, who would vote for
a Democrat, under such a circum-
stance as this, in any of the Judi
cial Districts of Ohio. One would
suppose that every sub-cistrict in
this State, where there is Republi-
can majority, that the Common Pleas
Judge would be Republican. A
day or two ago Republican said to
me: "We are going to beat your
man." 1 infer from this that he
meant that he was going to beat the
Democratic candidate with Demo-
cratic votes. Personally we have
not one word to say if the election
of Common Pleas Judge of this sub
division be independent of politics,
but this theory is set aside by the
action of the two parties nominating
candidates. 1t is political fight
and that is all there is of it.

Eighteen Months of Democratic Rule


We have now had more than
eighteen months of Democratic rule,
and the pessimistic Republicans who
were prophesying that the country
would go to ruin must be filled with
mingled feeling of amazement and
sorrow, Says the Missouri Republi-
can:
"All is not lost that was achieved
by the war; the constitutional
amendments have not been mullified; I;
the country has not been set back
to where it was in 1861; the public
credit has not been impaired; the
public debt has not been repudiated
the pensions to Union veterans have
not been stopped; the rebel debt has
not been assumed; pensions have
not been given to rebel soldiers; the
currency and the revenue have not
fallen into disorder; the treasury is
not empty; the civil service has not
become .demoralized; the national
bank system has not given place to
wild cat state banks; the national
authority has not been degraded,
and great many other dreadful
things have not taken place."
Not only have these things not
taken place but the outlook for a
steady and substantial prosperity OF
the country is better than has been
for years, Judging by the reports OF
both Democrats and Republican pa
pers. Business and manufacturing
interests are upon solid basis. AS
far as the administration of govern
ment finances is concerned, the Treas
ury surplus has increased $63, ,416,-
600 over, last year and Secretary
Manning is paying it out as fast as
possible to discharge the public debt,
The debt has heen reduced 800, ,000,-
900. The net revenues of the Gov
ernment have increased $12, $4,000;
and the net expenditures diminished
$17,790,O00. Over $7,3O2, 900 more
was paid in pension to Union Sol
diers than was paid the last year Of
Republican rule. And yet many Re
publicans are not satisfied.-Regis

MRS. rAYLoR's LETTER.

CAMBRIDGE, o., Oct. IL, 1884.
". III. anderson, Esq, Bdrncsritle, o.:
DEAR SIR-I referred the enclosed
letter to Colonel Anderson, in Mr..
Taylors absence from home, and
he directs me to send the letter to
you, and say that this man has been
referred to r. c. Graves, and he de-
sires you to see Mi. Graves and
make such arrangements as you two
may deem expedient, provided the
demand is not greater in your judg-
ment than the results will justify. /
am not sorry that the campaign is
SO nearly over. With kind regards
to Mrs. Anderson, l am very

number of votes. Taylors nearest
and dearest friends wrote in reply to
their confidential agent in Barnes
vile: "Make such arrangements as
you moy deem eypedient, pcorided
the demand is not greater, IN yom
judgment, than the results wW justi-
fy." In other words, if the price is
not too high you are authorized to
buy the votes.
ANY man who understands the
meaning of words can see clearly
the infamous nature of Buchanan's s
proposition and the equally infa-
nous acceptance in behalf of Tay-
lor. There is no doubt similar work
was done scores of times all over the
district.
1t is this man with determine
tion to corrupt voters that the peo-
pie have honored with seat in Con
Sress,and who again asks to be cleo
ted. That Buchanan expected to
get his money, is evident from his
actions. He called on Mr.. Graves
in accordance with the following
letter:
COLONEL ANDERsoS's LETTER
CAMBRIDGE, o., Oct. II, 1884.
Mr.. SMILEY BUcHANAN-Dear Sir.
Please call ON r. c. Graves, mho mil
arrange matters wita you.
Yours truly, I. H. ANDERSON.
1t has been said by 7. H. Ander-
son that there was no money used
but it is fact that he had left $25
on deposit, and the clause in the
letter saying make such arrange
ments as you may deem expedient'
fully authorized the Barnesville com
mittee to call on Taylor for all the
money they might ''deem it expe
dent to pay for Buchanan's sever
votes. A special committee had
been organized by I. H. Anderson

Sylvester Fletcher, a colored man,
while walking through public park
in Boston, one day last week, picked
up stone, and going to little child
which was sleeping in its wagon,
struck it fatal blow. When arrested,
he claimed that he was starving, and
wanted to do something which would
put him in jail, that he might get
something to eat. This is not the
only case, perhaps, where hunger has
prompted murder, but it is certainly
strange that in a garden of baked
beans, a fellow would murder an inno-
cent child merely to get something to
eat by going to prison. This extreme
case is an argument in favor Of the
theory that for some reason our re-
formatory institutions fail to reform
The accommodations in prison,
while they should be wholesome and
clean, should not be made so inviting
that they will attract criminal who
has once tasted them to go back again,
voluntarily. A prison should be more
of place of punishment than a place
of accommodation, and the lesson
should be such that fellow who had
once been there would not want to go
back.

At collision on the railway at Sill
yer Creek, Pa, nineteen persons are
thus far known to have been killed.
This collision seems to have been
caused by the engineer and conductor
of a passenger train becoming smarter,
in their own estimation, than the
managers Of the road. Both had pos
tive orders to pass freight at Silver
Creek, yet, after stopping there, the
conductor signaled to go ahead, and
the engineer pulled out, running into
the freight. Railroads cannot be too
strict with their officers, and the first
disobedience Of the order of train
dispatcher should send the offender off
the road in quick order.

Sullivan came nearer getting his

the police not interfered there was a
strong probability that Johns claims

Instead of requiring the contestants

Jones, Of the Waverly Watchnaan,
continues in the lead as the funny
man Of the Democratic party. In his
last issue he speaks Of scheme of the
Republicans to "flch" from the U. S.
Treasury When young man begins
to talk about filching, that young man
needs to be watched. When a party
organ begins to blow imaginary
schemes for robbing the Treasury, by
the opposite party, it shows the drift
Of the Democratic mind d-that it sees,
through the Treasury, the best method
Of political work, and therefore the
party needs watching. The funny
part Of the Watchnan's talk, however,
is brought out by comparison. The
Republicans turned over the Treasury
to the new administration, sound and
safe, without the loss Of a cent. The
Democracy, twenty-four years before,
turned over robbed and ruined
Treasury, and the Democratic party
in the field as a body Of armed outlaws.
That is the difference in political prac-
tice between the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties. The latter has record
utterly, entirely bad, and the contrast
with the record of the Republican
party shows the Democracy in most
ridiculous light.

Jones, of the Waverly Watchman,
says he would not subscribe to a mon
ument for Grant because the latter
helped swindle Tilden out of the Pres
idency. What nonsense! The Dem
ocratic party presented itself at Wash
ington, covered with the blood of in
nocent victims who were murdered in
the name of Tilden and Reform, and
demanded the Presidency, and coupled
the demand with a threat Of force.
Gen. Grant-then President-replied
that if the Democratic candidate was
declared elected he should have the
position-but as to the windy threat
of force, the Gen. concluded to answer
that by ordering to Washington one
little artillery company, and by doing
this scared all the thirst for gore out
of the Democratic party. That's the
part Grant took in the Hayes-Tilden
matter.

Let every Republican make up his
mind-if he has not already done So
to go to the election this fall and vote
the straight. Republican ticket, from
top to bottom. Our candidates are all
good and competent men, and we have
the votes in the County to give them
a tremendous majority. Let the vote
be a full one, this time There is
much in the record of the Democratic
party, and its wooden President, which
merits an expression of Indignation
from the people, and this expression
should be given by the people at the
polls in November. A President who,
in vetoing bill to pension a soldiers
widow. could descend to such brutal
depth of partisan blindness as to pub
licly attack the character of the
woman, or party that could endorse
such President, is worthy only of the
bitter contempt of every soldier in the
land, as well as every soldiers friend.
Remember these things, friends, on
election day.

A leopard in the Cincinnati Zoolog-
ical Garden gave birth to cub, and
the male leopard was shut out Of the
cage, leaving the mother and cub to-
gether. The mother soon neglected
the little one, and finally ignored its
presence altogether. At this point
the keeper turned the male into the
room with his family again, and i'm
mediately all was JOY and brightness.
The little one was loved, and the whole
family was jolly. This will be les
son worthy of study by good many
human beings. This old leopard was
loved, and his family mourned his ab-
sence. Yet there are scores of men
go out from home whose families wish
that the Devil might get them before
they get back.
