In the earlier days of the country it
was common for those engaged in bu
siness to issue shinplasters which
served the purpose of Initiating the
currency. We were shown, "a few days
since, quite an artistic specimen OF
this kind, issued by the late John
Harmon, of Ravenna, now in the
possession of E. P. Brainerd. Mr.
Harmon, in company with his son ]
H., recently deceased in Detroit. was
engaged in publishing paper at Bed
ford, Cuyahogs county. and issued an
amount of currency, bearing on its
face the following:

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's letter OF
aceeptance. which will be found else
where in this issue, is well worth
careful perusal. 1t is, like all of Mr..
Cieveland,s public documents. clear,
sharp and forcible. though dignsfied.
1t shows no inclination to back down
from the position heretofore taken, but
reiterates the democratic doctrines up
ON which the campaign is to be fought.

CLEVELAND LETTER.

A debate ON the tariff took place here
last week. Judge Blandin and one
Burton were the speakers, We are
informed by a gentleman present that
the Judge, who condemns high pro
tective tariff at this time, had much
the better of the argument. A good
audience ives present.
Quite stir was created week ago
Monday-the day on which the Labor
Unions celebrate-by the uniurling OF
the red flag of anarchy in the labor
Drocession, At Haltnorth's Garden,
where the labor men picniced, riot
occurred, 800 men protesting against
the display of the hated emblem OF
anarchy. The police took part in
the disturbance, and carted several OF
the anarchists to one of the police sta
tions. In justice to the workipgmen
1T should be said that the flag was
smuggled into the procession. Cleve-
land workingmen are hearty haters of
anarchy.
All have heard of the wise man who
sat on the limb of tree and sawed on
said limb between himself and the
tree. The American wOrkingman who
votes the republican ticket this fall.
thereby favoring the continuance OF
war taxes, is guilty of a similar wise
action. Workingmen, do not empty
your own pockets.

ANOrHEK RAILROAD HORROR.
a Freight Train Crashes into q
Passenger Train ON the Erie.

Freight Train CrA6heS INTO u
Passenger Train ON the Erie.
About ] o'clock Monday afternoon
a terrible accident occurred about three
miles west of Wadsworth. on the Erie
railroad. The engine of the fourth
section of train broke down, and the
train of nine cars, filled with G. A. K.
veterans and their friends, most OF
whom were from Youngstown and vi
cinity. was stopped in cut at the foot
of a grade. A fagmsn was sent back
to signal freight train which was
following closely behind, but it was
impossible to stop the heavy train, and
the locomotive crashed into the rear
of the passenger train, wrecking four
cars, two of which were completely
demolished. Four persons were killed
outright, three others have since died
from injuries received, and about 81
were injured more or less seriously
The killed were, the engineer OF the
freight, Barney Balinger, and VIM
Cochran, brakeman, John Shook and
Samuel Brace, of Youngstown. Miss
Ina Tucker, of Austintown. and Mis-
Given, of Garfield, have since died o.
injuries received. Judge Johnston, Of
Mahoning county, passed through this
city Tuesday morning with the re
main of his sister, who died ON the
cars between the scene of the accident
and this place.
But for the warning given by an
employe of the road. who was of duty
and riding on the train, many more
would have been killed. Seeing the
danger that threatened, he ordered ev
erybody to jump for their lives, and
many succeeded in getting out OF win
doWs and doors and climbing up the
banks.

THE OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN
Meeting of the Special Committee
on the Ratification Meeting.

meeting of the special committee for the
purpose of making arrangements for the
opening of the campaign at the great Repub-
lican demonstration to be held in this city
August 18th, was held Monday evening.
There was afull attendance and great inter-
est manifested. Letters were read from
prominent Republicans all over the State,
showing that their sections would be well
represented on the occasion. The matter of
arrangements was placed in the hands of a
committee, composed of the State,
district and county committees. The
chairman of the State Committee, Hon. An
drew Halves of Stroudwater. is chairman,
and Mr.. Charles A. Strout secretary. 1t was
announced that all our congressman would
be present and participate in the meetings,
Of which there will be two, one in the after
noon and the other in the evening The dis
cussion was, for the most part, devoted to
the question of what place should be select
ed in which TO hold the meetings The base
bah ground, the Park Garden, and other
places were talked of, but it was thought
best to have both at City Hall.
There will. be very large attendance of
uniformed Republican clubs from all over
the State. The Maine Central agrees to
bring all the people it can with.the facilities
at its disposition. Mr.. Blaine will speak at
one of the meetings, and as ii will be impos-
sible for all to get into the hall who desire to
see him, he will appear also on the front bal
cony.
Hon. A. w. Miller of Brooklyn will be in
cluded among the list of speakers, and pos
sibly Gov. Porter of Indiana will be present.
