JUSTICE TO A BRAVE, TRUE SOL
DER.

There Is one Republican Presidential
aspirant the less, in the suicide Of General
Alger of Michigan, the man with the bar
rel. A bit of war record uncovered by Mr..
Dana of the Sun, who was assistant sec
retary OF war during the rebellion, in
duced Mr.. AlRer TO rush into print in his
own defense against a charge Of shirking
dangerous duty and preferring court mar.
tial service in Washington to leading his
regiment with Sheridan In the valley. OF
course IL is all we'll enough Mr.. AlRer
should defend himself, but in so doing he
assails General Custer, the most brilliant
and dashing soldier Alger's State gave to
the civil war. OF course this recalls the
living ass kicking the dead lion. Custer's
memory Is worth hundred Algers TO the
American people.-Pittsburg Post.
We knew Gen. Custer when living
better than we know Gen. Alger. He
was brave to recklessness; but he was
man of violent passion and full of
prejudice. He had some tromble with
Gen. Alger, because the latter refused
to promote his brother, and while it
may be true as stated by the Post, that
Gen. Clusters memory is worth hun.
dred Algers, the truth is due the living
as well as the dead. Custer was more
conspicuous soldier than Alger, but
Alger has war record that no soldier
would be ashamed to own. We have
known Gen. Alger intimately and long
He was II hrava and knightly soldier
in war and he ls ivcapable of uttering
a falsehood touching hia own record
Because he is prominent Republican
candidate for President is no reason
why any Democrat should seek 10 do
him an injustice. We know the war
record of both Gen. Alger and Gen.
Harrison, and we have no hesitation in
saying that Gen. Alger saw four times
as much hazardous and hard service at
the front as Gen. Harrison. Let us be
Just and seek no mean advantage of a
knightly soldier because he has been
the victim of the sudden passion of a
superior officer.

THE Columbus special to the News
DEMOCRAT of Friday told of some
awful charges being circulated in Co
lumbus against w. l. Squire, President
of the League Clubs. The record of
proceedings shows that Mr.. Squire
was reelected President, notwithstand-
ing these charges. The Columbus
specials of today mention these charges
in detail as follows:
"Circulars were circulated on President
W. j. Squire, of Toledo, the chief officer
of this state Republican organization.
Boys were stationed at the door OF the
Governors office and the entrance to the
Grand Opera House, where the league
convention was held today, to distribute
printed circulars containing the most sen.
sational allegations against Mr.. Squire.
Mr.. Squire was formerly teacher in To-
ledo and the following are the fndings of
the Board Of Education on his case.
Whereas the said board has become
satisfied that w. 1. Squire is an unfit per-
son to be employed rs such teacher, as
upon a full investigation we find him
guilty.
II. OF using to his pupils gross, obscene
and insulting language.
20. OF indulging in coarse and inde-
cent habits and practices in the presence
of his pupils.
"3. or untruthfulness, whenever he
conceived il to be for his interest or ad.
vantage.
"a. OF grossly immoral acts towards
his female pupils, of repeated and persist
ent efforts TO seduce young ladies under
his charge, and an attempt to commit rape
upon one Of the young ladies of the high
school,.
rs. We find him guilty of administering
chloroform to a young lady pupil in the
laboratory, no other person being present,
the circumstances raising strong sus-
picion that his design was TO violate the
person of the young lady.
therefore, under the authority con-
ferred by law, we hereby revoke his said
certificate. Il. E. Seagrave, Z. j. Phillips,
julius Vortriede, Board of School Ex-
aminers."
The above board are all Republicans.

TIE Repnblicans Of Morgan {

THE Republicans OF Morgan 20, are
kicking vigorously agains the intamy
of the proposed Congressional gerry
msnder, A correspondent writing for
the Ohio State Journal closes a vigorous
article on the unfairness of the scheme,
IN the following language:
Morgan county has large representa-
ton among the students AT the university,
and her people are indignant that such a
measure should even be proposed, espec.
tally in Republican legislature, and
they wonder "what manner of man" this
Senator Nichols ~, anyway. Legislators,
beware. Be true to the best interests OF
our State and subservient to party inter
esis. Remember that Republicans will
not submit to democratic methods" in
the administration of public affairs. Also
remember that next November the mas
sesr again enter their "booths" and pre-
pare tn, ir ballots unmolesied, alone with
their conscience and their God; and that
the voters of Ohio are intelligent and will
quickly rebuke any such vlllainous legis'
latlon. STALwART REPUBLICAN.

Daniel Jones on Trial for Shooting
With Intent to Wound.
A Case That 10 OF Much Interest to Mas
siiion People-other Items from the
Temple of Justice.

The case of Ohio against Daniel Jones
came up for trisl in common pleas court
today. The defendant is charged with
shooting with intent TO wound. Prosecu-
tor Bow and Messrs. Wilson and Garrett
represent the state, the defense being con-
Quoted by Messrs. Folger and Young OF
Massillon.
II is the claim of the state as presented
TO the jury, that on the 9Th of December,
1891, Jones was hunting on the farm of
Orlando Stoner which is situated In Tusca-
rawss township, about six miles from
Massillon. Stouer was hauling wood and
told Jones that II he shot In the clearing
II would frighten the horses so he asked
him to leave the place. The State alleges
that Stoner went into his barn and while
in there heard two shots fired, He ran
out and accused Jones of firing them,
Jones, IL is claimed, ,swore ut Stoner raised
his gun and shot Stoner in the leg. StoneI
then took hold of Jones, took him to q
neighbours house, and had him identified,
after which he let him go. Stoner also
claims that Jones attempted TO shoot al
him the second time but that he Knocked
the gun aside.
Ia stating the case for the defense Mr..
Young stated that the shooting was
purely accidental, as Stoner made
an attack upon Jones and 1t was
during the scuiiie that the gun was dis
charged. II will be attempted to show
that Stoner Is man OF violent temper
and that he poses as the champion prize
fighter of Tuscarawas township, having
upon one occasion put to sleep the alleged
champion of the neie hborhood. The case
is on trial this afternoon and is attracting
some attention,
Peter Gansline, of Maximo, came into
court this morning and through his attor
ney, Mr. Pippitt of Alliance, desired &c
change his plea of not guilty to one oi
guilty. Mr.. Pippitt for his client stated
that Gansline did not know at the time
he was violating the law that he was IL
fact doing so. He had not violated tbs
state law, but there were technical points
upon which the defence was salts
fed that jury would render verdict ol
conviction. MIR. Bow did not move fol
sentence at this time, but permitted a sus
pension until next Wednesday, in order
to give Gansline "A chance to arrange his
business before sentence is passed.

MARLow AND GRAHAM SENTENCED.
George NARROW and William Graham,
who neld up David Byers at the Union
hotel of which he was proprietor short
time since, were brought into court for
sentence, both having pleaded guilty.
NARROW was represented by Jas. A. Rice
and Graham by Charles G. Upham. Mar
low had gone into partial trial and had
pleaded guilty when he saw there was no
nope for him. Attorney Rice asked the
court not to punish him more severely
than Graham as II was done at the sug-
gestion of counsel who was misinformed
az to the evidence of The state and as to
the defense hoped to be set up by NARROW.
Attorney Upham had nothing to say for
his client put Graham stated that he had
heart disease and did not want to die in
prison 30 he hoped the sentence would be
light.
Attorney Upham insisted that NARROW
should receive longer sentence than
Graham, as he had cost the county more.
Attorney Rice called attention to the fact
that lioerty was dear to a man and ii he
saw chance for escape II was natural
for him to grasp at IL. The court held that
each were equally guilty and that there
were mitigating circumstances in connec-
ton with the trial of MARROW. He there.
fore sentenced the men to A years in the
penitentery but not in solitary conhne-
ment.

BETTER CASE POSTPONED.

The case of Ohio against Jacob Better,
came up this morning in common pleas
court, on motion for a continuance. The
motion was argued at some length, the
court at the conclusion being of the opin-
ion that there were grounds for contin-
uance. TIE case was therefore continued
until the next assignment. The claim
that Better is insane seems to be support
ed by considerable evidence.
