A BIG VICTORY In KENTUCKY.
The Democratic Candidate for State
Treasurer Elected bv $4,000
Majority.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 6.--Re-
turns from the election for State
treasurer show a Democratic victory.
Stephen G. Sharp, of Lexington, the
present treasurer. was nominated for
reelection.
The Democratic counties SO far as
heard from show an increase for him
over the majority given Buckner in
1887.
There have been some surprising
victories for Republican candidates
for the legislature, but this has been
due in all cases to local causes. In
Republican counties, where cx- Sena-
tor Colson, the Republican nominee
for treasurer, was expected to make
heavy gains there has been rather a
decrease. Louisville gives Sharp q
500 majority and the State probably
$4,000. The Prohibition vote was
light. The votes for convention
to revise the constitution probably
will show sufficient majority TO call
the convention.

Harrison Harmony.

There is wailing at the cross
roads and there is backbiting and
there is SANDER at the seat of the
Government 1t begins to develop:
that the charge long since made
against the republican party, that
it was party of office seekers and
Office holders, is true as truth can
be. The amount Of lying that was
done by office seeking republicans
in the last campaign is only equal
ed by the amount Of Indignation
and disgust that is now felt among
the great army of the disappointed.
Fence rail, store box and back office
committees are now in open session
and are giving away the dead secrets,
and the democrats are shocked at
the wickedness of their enemies and
surprised to find how virtuous they,
themselves, are by comparison.
We do not take much stock in
any reports of republicans leaving
their party as they ought to do.
We only listen with wicked pleas
ure and smile with malice afore-
thought. We know that when the
next campaign comes round the
kickers and deserters will all be
found in line, swearing by the great
immortal Golf and pinning their
faith to lies and hypocrisy. But we
hope the decent, patriotic, order-lov-
ing citizens of every community and
of whatever politics will make
note Of what the republican party is
doing. 1t is demoralizing the youth
of the country by holding out prom
Uses of offices for their votes and
support, and deluding them into for
saking the plain, honorable ways of
life for the dissipated hurry and rush
that marks the unhappy and wreck
strewn road of political ambition.
There never before has been in the
history of this country as wide
spread, demoralizing and disgrace
full scramble for Office as is exhib-
tied in this first year of Harrison.
And it is all because the republican
politicians doctrine practically is,
that the end justifies the means and
that you may jesuitically lie, wrong,
cheat and defraud anybody, friend
or foe, in order to attain the object
of your ambition Wetzel Demo

Negligent Tax Collectors.

The county commissioners OF
Fayette county, Pa, have just dis
covered that they are in need of
money to meet the payments on the
new county Jail, and to raise some
money they have brought suit
against the tax collectors Of the
county who have not squared up
their duplicates to 1883. Some Of
them have already paid up since
suit was begun, but there still re
mains about $4,000 unsettled for
1886 and 1887, about $4,000 for
1883, and considerable amount in
small sums, that have been carried
so long ON the books that none of it
can be collected, both collector and
his bondsmcn being dead in some
cases.

Railroad Building in West Virginia.

Ex-senator Camden has decided to
extend the Clarksburg and Weston
Railroad to Braxton c. H., forty miles
from Weston. The extension is to be
a narrow gauge, and the material Of
the Clarksburg and Weston is to used
thereupon as far as it will go. The
latter road is to be converted into
standard gauge. 1t is expected the
road will be completed and in opera
ton within twelve months. A char
ter has been issued to the Gaulcy
and Eastern Railway Company, or
ganized for the purpose of construct
ing and operating a railroad from
the mouth of Gauley river to Hunters

Why Ohio Republicans are Actiyes

1t is tacit acknowledgment that
the coming man for Governor will be
the nominee of the Dayton Conven-
ton, and that the State is about to
pass into the administrative control
of the Democratic party. In taking
this view of it the Republican edi-
tors and leaders are but reading the
stars and the signs Alright. Repub-
lican defeat is the logic of the situa-
ton, and because of a number of
cogent reasons. l. Because the
party is irretrievably committed to
perpetual war taxes and the pesti-
lential brood of Trusts they hatch.
2, Because, while pretending to ia
vor home rule for Ireland, it denies
home rule to Cincinnati and all the
leading cities of Ohio. 3. Because,
in the name of economy, the State
administration has been spend thrift,
and dishonesty concealed this fact
by system OF ADVANCE drafts on
the county treasures, which has
created deficiency equal to almost,
If not quite, 80 per cent. Of the total
annual revenues of the State Be-
cause, in utter violation of the Con
stitution, the Legislature and State
Government impaired the sinking
fund to meet current expenditures.
Here are four overwhelming reasons
why the the Democratic State ticket
and Democratic Legislature should
and will be elccted.-Enquirer.

The New York Times says Mr..
Andrew Carnegie's attitude with
reference to the strikes in Pittsburg
can scarcely seem heroic, even to its
occupant. Common rumor has cred
tied him with contribution oil
100000 to the Republican campaign
fund. with the avowed intention OF
maintaining the tariff so as to pre-
vent 4 reduction in the wages OF
American workingmen. Now, the
same Mr.. Carnegie, the election be-
ing well over and the tariff preser-
we'd, ayows his intention of spending
81, 100000, if necessary, or three
times the amount of his contribution
for the benefit of American labor in
general, for the purpose Of forcing a
reduction of 20 per cent. in the wa
yes of the particular American work

A recount of the cash in the Uni
ted States treasury just concluded
shows that there is $700,0OO,00O in
money locked up in the vaults at
Washington. And the estimated in
crease is at the rate of something
like Sc, O00,O 900 month. This vast
and almost incomprehensible sum is
actual cash lying idle in the vaults,
and the increase is the amount of
taxes collected in excess of the ex-
penditures. What reason, what ex-
cuse can be offered for the continu-
ance of system that maintains
such an enormous sum of money,
withdrawn from circulation and
locked up in the treasury? The
burden of taxation is now so great
that bankruptcy and ruin is seen on
every hand, and the gradual but
positive and certain withdrawal of
money from circulation necessarily
increases the hard times. The cash
now in the treasury is equal to $12
for every man, women and child in
this country. 1t lies there idle, I'M
productive, and to the extent of its
amount stagnating business and
suppressing the prosperity of the
country. 1t is product of the ex-
cessive tariff and internal revenue
taxation continued since the war of
generation ago.-Parkers6urg Sen

A Centennial Relic in the Possession
 of fHiram Lodge, F. < A. M.
 About thirty years ago Hiram lodge, F. & A. M., of this city, received a present of a valuable relic from William R. Clapp, of Trenton, N. J., who was at that time grand treasurer of the Grand Council of New Jer- sey. The present consisted of miniature arch composed of flowers and in an air-tight case. The arch was made of the identical flowers that Washington passed under at Trenton on his memorable journey to New York city one hundred years ego. Robert Diaz, of this city, received the gift and car- ried it to the Hodge where is now, in good state of preservation. Washington's address to the ladies of Trenton, who arranged the flowers, was complimentary acknowledge ment of his appreciation of the beautiful arch. A copy of this address was presented to Hiram lodge with the little arch. MT. Clapp, who came to this city with the mes mento, was a friend of Rev. G. W. Moves wne was pastor of the South Congregational church, which is now the Church of the Sacred Heart.
