Don't talk about fraud in the
large cities when we have such bold
attempts in the interior as was
made in Cardington last Monday to
take from the polls the ballot box
containing the ballots. This was a
very bold attempt, and the Repub-
leans who talk about "honest cleo
tons and fair counts" should hang
their heads in shame. There was
considerable interest in the election
there, and every effort was made be-
tween the two Republican factions
to defeat each other. When evening
came and the ballots had been
counted there was a dispute, and a
recount was demanded. Then one
OF the Republican judges took the
box and started for home. At his
gate Mayor Barry overlook him and
demanded the box, which was at
first refused the mayor. 1t was, all
in all, a red-hot time on a cold dav,
and exemplified the inclination Of
the Republicans to usurpation. Is
any wonder the faction elected
their candidate for mayor by one
vote? The programme was carried
out, perhaps,

Blaine does not mean that any other

The Republican Gossip at Wash,

from the Treasury, is as follows
"That Secretary Whitney should

Ohio has often been cursed with re.
publican legislatures, but never before
have the people been called upon 10
endure a legislative body so wholly
lost 10 every sense of decency as the
present one. In the House, upon the
merest pretence of fraud in the cleo
tons In Hamilton County, nine mem
bers who held certificates of election
were expelled from their seats during
the first week of the session, and the
elections committee instructed after
ward to investigate the legality of the
action of the house. Such an outrage
is without q precedent in the lesisla-
tive bodies of the country. The COM
mittee proceeded to Cincinnati and
went through the form of al investi-
cation, examining only republican
witnesses, all of whom were carefully
coached before appearing On the
stand. Their report was tased upon
such testimony and upon the babble
and gossip of the bar-rooms and ho-
tells, but was eagerly seized upon and
adopted by the republican majority
IN the house. In the senate the case
was somewhat different. Fortunately
the democrats held the majority and
would not consent to any Of the par
tisan tactics so successfully played in
the House. They demanded the most
thorough and rigid investigation, and
with this purpose in view made the
investigation committee consist of an
equal number of representatives of
each party. This committee entered
upon the work promptly and probed
the Hamilton County elections thor
oughly discovering that the republi-
can cry of fraud had no foundation in
fact, and that the elections in Cincin-
natl were more quiet, orderly and
honest than had been held within five
years. Thus the republicans, upon the
pretence that the elections in Hamil-
County were not honestly con-
Quoted, have saddled upon the tax
payers the sun of not less than $780,
700, for which the state has nothing

The Washington correspondent


The Washington correspondent
of the World says that the leading
Democrats in the House have been
convinced for some time that no
complicate Tariff bill can be pass
ed through the House this session.
David A. Wells and other promi-
nent revenue reformers have been
in Washington for some time con-
ferring with Messrs. Morrison and
Carlisle. 1t has been practically
agreed. to propose a simple bill put
ting lumber, salt and wool on the
free list. 1t has been intended to
put coal on tbs free list, but this
has been dropped. 1t has been Mr..
Wells idea, and, in fact, that of
the leading revenue reformers, that
no more should be attempted than
to put a few articles upon the free
list. In this way great opposition
will be avoided, and the free-trade
people will have an opportunity of
proving, by a few articles being ad-
ded to the free list, the beauties of

The Chicago HerdId's Washing.
ton correspondent says that the
President does not use the White
House contingent fund for any ex,
penses whatever hat may be con-
strued as personal. The office ex-
penses are paid out of it. General
Grant paid for nearly everything
out of his salary, holding the con-
tingent fund, except for clerical
work and a few other expenses, as
sacred. Mr.. Lincoln seldom drew
upon this fund except for the most
common expenses of the office. It
IS said that Mr.. Hayeslived almost
entirely out of the fund, retired

ses are estimated at about $4,000

"The funniest thing that we have

only. Ye Gods! When these re-

as could be expected. By the time

there will be very few Republicans
holding official positions in the
government:
"The fact that there are 10000
Democratic Postmasters in the SER
vice of the Government, as shown
in this correspondence some time
ago, has set people looking up the
situation a little, and it is being
found that the offices are becoming
