THE SCANDAL RECORD.

The New York Word devotes over
two pages of fine type to the scandals
and outrages upon the people that have
resulted from two years of Republican
ism and Harrisonism.
The record of the Republican scan
dals given in detail by the World may
be briefed as follows:
Scandal No. SELLING protection"
aud excessive profits to monopolists for
money used to elect a President and
members of Congress.
Scandal No. 2-Rewarding the raiser
of corruption fund with position in
the cabinet of a President. (Wana-
| maker.)
Scandal No. 3-Expending the money
thus procured in the open purchase of
votes, as in the case of Mckinley VS..
Warwick.
Scandal No 4-Utter disregard of
civil service reform pledges and a gal
axy of disreputable appointments for
discreditable party service.
Scandal No. 5-Shameful administra-
tion of the great pension bureau for the
benefit of pension sharks.
Scandal No. 6-Prostituting the most
honorable public Office in the world to a
purely family affair.
Scandal No. THE President of the
United States as a gift-taker and tool
of real estate boomers.
Scandal No S-Stealing the repre-.
sentation in the United States senate
of new state.
Scandal No. 9-Creating states of
mining camps for the sole purpose of
retaining partisan control.
Scandal No. 10 Evicting Democratic
members of the House of Representa-
tives for the same reason
Scandal No. 11-Usurpation of
power by a Sp eaker to insure the
passage of partisan measures.
Scandal No. 12--Disgraceful scenes
and gross vulgarity in the House, the
direct result of the speakers action,
closing with big drunk.
Scandal No. 13 Making fraudulent
census for parrish advantage through
a reappointment Of congressional rep
resentation.
Scandal No. 14-Government officials
looting public lands regardless of a very
mild rebuke, and roboing the pool
Indians.
Scandal No. Is -Squandering the
money of an over-taxed people to gel
rid of troublesome surplus.
Each of these distinguishing trade
marks of the Republican party will bC
found worthy of careful consideration
No reference is made to toe infamous
force bill and treasury-looting subsidy
bill, because through the vigilance ant
energy of the Democratic minority
neither has become a law.

ALARMED OVER OHIO.

The Washington special to the New
York World says Secretary of the
Treasury Foster has gone to Ohio,
ostensibly to fix up his private business
but really to patch up truce between
the rival factions and warning Republi-
can leaders of Ohio.
AS Foster first discovered Foraker, 1t
is thought he can do more to appease
his dsgruntled mind towards McKin-
ley, than any other man. But there is
another trouble. The rapid growth of
the Farmers Alliance in Ohio is alarm.
ing to the monopolists. The World
correspondent says:
"a second and very serious danger
to the Republicans is the rapid growth
of the Farmers Alliance in Ohio since
the November elections. The Alliance
demonstrated no strength at the polls
in the State last Fall for the reason that
as the wool growers had received
friendly treatment in the Mckinley bill
ii was found to be impossible to rally
the farmers on any line of autagonism
to the Republican policy. But since
then very decided change has taken
place. 1t is said that the Alliance has
been making converts from one end OF
the State to the other, and now numbers
thousands of men, recruited from the
Republican ranks, who will be ready tc
vote next Fall according to their new
alignment"
Attention is called to the fact that
every Farmers Alliance in the United
States is for a low tariff, while McKin-
ley is for a high tariff.
Every Farmers Alliance is for free
silver coinage. The Republican Admin
istration and Republican Congress, Of
which Mckinley was the official leader
has Just defeated free silver coinage.
This makes natural antagonism be
tween the Alliance and the proposed
Republican candidate for Governor
and this is what moved that brainy Re
publican, Ben Butterworth, to remark
that Mckinley cannot carry Ohio thii
year. Foraker expresses to his init
mate friends the same opinion.

REMEMBER THE RoBBERIEs AND
THE ROBBERS.

II is figured out that each inhabitant
consumes forty-three pounds of sugar per
annum. AS result of the Mckinley law
the price of sugar will fall two cents a
pound, saving to each person eighty-six
cents year. The population of Ohio is
1896, ,7l9 and the saving to the people OF
Ohio will be s., ,154, 1884 year. This will
be borne in mind next fall when the peo-
pie elect Mckinley goyernor.-lCincin-
natl Times Star.
1t is now 26 years since the war
closed, and according to the Times
Star (high Republican authority the
people of Ohio have. been taxed yearly
on sugar alone $3,154,37S. This for 20
years amounts to $8l,987.8 .828. When
the people como to vote this fall LET
them not forget that this enormous
robbery was fastened upon them by the
Republican party, and let them not for
get to remember that the champion
and tool of the monopolists, who have
robbed the masses of the American
people to enrich themselves, is VIM.

A ROBBERS RooST.

julius Delmar, of Brooklyn arrived
from Europe last Wednesday, on the
steamship Werra. Miss Emma Dovers,
his sweetheart, was on the pier await
ing him. julius gave his sweet heart a
diamond bracelet he had brought from
the other side. He then left her for
few minutes and went back on the
steamer for something he had forgot
ten. While he was gone Emma was
set upon by robbers, who took the
bracelet away from her and disposed of
it to a Receiver of Stolen Goods who
keeps place called Seizure room "
The robbers were dressed in uniform,
and belong to very bold gang who in
fest the steamship landings and waylay
incoming travellers. They are employ
ed by the robbers trust and are paid
regular salaries for committing their
depredations.-[Twentieth Century.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE MOVE.
MENT.

Col. I. II. Brigham, of Fulton county,
is now making fantastic signs to catch
the eyes of the Farmers Alliance. Col
Brigham is a very respectable Repub.
lican, who has had an overwhelming
ambition to culminate in Congress.
Twice has he been nominated by his
party in very close district, and has
been defeated by comfortable plurali-
ties. Still he is hopeful, and now seeks
to make himself solid with the Farm
er's Alliance, for the milk and honey
there is in it for himself.
Brigham is protectionist from habit.
He is narrow and bitter partisan and
can do the Alliance no good and plenty
of harm. If the Alliance is to make
any impression or accomplish any good,
The men who control its councils must
be animated by higher motives than
personal ambition and desire for per-
sonal preferment.
The Farmers Alliance of ONO can
accomplish good, if like the Western
Alliance, it seeks to educate the farm
ers on economic questions. But
it is plain to be seen, that
it will fail in its mission If,
like the present conspiracy in Illinois,
it seeks to secure official position by a
deal with the very party whose pripct-
pies and policy have wrecked the
farmers of the entire country.
Col. Brigham is by no means bad
man: neither is he corrupt man; but
he is afli !cted with an itching palm; and
the disposition to grab at everything OF
value that appears to be in sight has
impaired his usefulness as a popular
leader. The farmers, as a class. have
been bumbugged too long, and Col.
Brigham is not the only politician
whose leadership is hurtful to the or
Uanization. We have some such char
acters ia Stark county,who have joined
the organization merely for purposes of
political manipulation and selfish ends.
We refer to Col Bingham as one of
many Protectionists, who are in the
Farmers Alliance movement to steer
it, so that it will fail to accomplish its
mission

Mahoning Can Give no Territory as She
Has About the Amount Required by
Law.
In speaking of the scheme of Alliance
parties to form new county, the Youngs.
town Telegram says: Judge johnson was
asked by Telegram reporter regarding
the scheme to organize new county, and
said: "That kind of talk Is all buncombe
We have only 422 square miles of territory
in Mahoning county, but % square miles
more than the constitution requires in a
county, SO that we could not spare even a
single township. 1t would be difficult,
should think, for the consent of all the
counties interested to be obtained, and
altogether can not see how the project
could be carried out.
Jared Huxley said: VI examined into
this matter thoroughly at the time Of the
county seat removal agitation here, and
came to the conclusion that the founda
ton of a new county around Alliance
would be impossible. We have nothing
to spare from Mahoning county, and the
others would not look favorably on the
move IL made"

Mr.. McQueary is tried, not on the
truth of his opinions, but on their con-
formity to the antique creeds and ira

GUS this position is, is at once seen
when we compare it with the attitude
of any organization which really exists
to seek out and apply the truth. Take

A Veteran Soldier Talks.

An old Columbus soldier who has al
ways been Republican heretofore
was today denouncing President Har-
rison for superseding John M. Corse as
postmaster of Boston, by a mere poll
tician named Hart. He said that ev-
cry old soldier was justly indignant at
Harrison for this act. Said he: Gen
Corse was with Gen. Sherman in his
March to the Sea, and sent 10 old
Tecump' the message from Allatoona
that he would hold the fort. 1t was
from this suggestion that the song
Hold the Fort for am Coming, was
written. And this same Gen. Corse
now turned out of the Boston postof-
flee TO make room for a ward polite
ian, was shot all to pieces by, rebel bull
let's during the war. This shows how
Harrison regards the soldiers"
