thousand strong and demanded at
least portion of their wages in cash
So loud were they in their demands
that it was necessary to send troops 10
the scene, and on July %, 1877, tie
Sill Guards, of Chillicothe, under com
mand of Captain Hamilton, were dis
patched to Waverly at the request oil
/ President Emmitt and Vice President
Chapman, who did not appreciate the
importunities of their workingmen.
Mr.. Chapman stood behind the gilt
tering bayonets and shining gun bar
rels, and, waving bunch OF scrip
above his head, told the men that that
was the poor mans money and that
they must accept it or nothing. An
effort was made by the men to lynch
the officers of the company, and 1T
might have succeeded had not the mill
tia eatedly charged the crowd, and
finally succeeded in spiriting the VIC
tins away. 1t is stated on what is be-
lieved to be reliable authority that at
one time during the riot n rope was
thrown a ouud the neck of either Mr.
Emmitt or Mr.. Chapman and was cut
by the Captain of the local military
company with his sword just in time
10 prevent a tragedy.
There were so many troubles reiat-
ing to the construction that Mr.. Em-
mitt concluded when the road was
campleted as far south as Waverly 1T
should stop there. This did not suit
Mr.. Chapman, and he subscribed liber-
ally for the completion of the entire
line. Ut was completed to Jackson in
1875 and to Wellston in May, lSS2) He
also induced the farmers to subscribe.
Right here is where Mr.. Chapman laid
Wall Street in the shade. He pur-
chased the scrip that had been
forced upon the people for about fifty
cents on the dollar, and paid his sub
scription to the road with it.
When the Jackson County farmers
learned of the scheme they very natur-
ally concluded they might as we'll pur-
chase scrip at half price and thus save
that amount of their subscription.
They secured the scrip, but Chapman
refused to accept it. AS the amounts
were generally too small to justify a
law suit, they reluctantly paid over the
cash.
Not only as mine operator, but as a
railroad contractor, has Mr.. Chapman
been an oppressor of the poor. His
time spent in various enterprises, |
which the State Journal will refer to
as the campaign progresses.

OIL Property Going Begging.

$50 per acre was being paid for terri

the same class is going begging.

THE silver orators will be materially
embarrassed in the coming State cam

shows that the silver coinage of the
world has much more than doubled
since 1877, the total now being more
than 81, 900, 900, 600. The publication in
question is made by the New York
Journal of Commerce, which is very
conservative and accurate publication,
and shows that the total addition to
the worlds stock of silver money since
1873 is 81, 49s, 600, 600, of which 81, 1874
OOO 600 is full legal-tender silver.

Editor Charles \. Dana aS Il sick Man.
Mr. Charles A. Dana has been such
an iucorrigible worker for 50 many
years and, except when he has been
on his travels, has so rarely failed to
spend the working hours of his day at
his desk in the Sun office, that the re-
cent newspaper paragraphs which have
told that he has teen i'll enough to
stay at home in the country have been
more disquieting to his friends than
similar news about man less addicted
to steady work. 50 far a. any one
knows Except perhaps himself, Mr..
Dana has never been i'll before, but
while most other men have had to lay
off against their will to recuperate, he
has seemed always able to 90 on until
he has got good and ready TO stop and
play. He has played good deal, es-
pecially of late years, and from time to
time has printed some record of his
travels and enioyments. Here's hop
ing that his present Illness may prove
merely new experience valua ole per-
haps to him for its novelty, yet not so
attractive as to tempt him to repeat
it IIarper's Weekly.

"PLAIN HoKACE's" SCRIP DEAL.

Ohio State Journal.
OF the many parts which Mr.. Chap
man, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, has played, few are in line with
his protest that he is the friend of the
laboring classes, as the Mclean syndi.
cate of newspapers so loudly claim,
The State journal has referred to one
of Mr. Chapman's long distant ante
election predictions made at WaYerly
last fall, in regard to the result in
Ohio in Novemb Der. He only missed
the result by margin of 100, 600 votes,
but that is pretty good, considering.
That was not Mr. Chapman's first
trip to Waverly, however. Some years
ago Mr.. Chapman was Vice President
of the Springfield, Jackson & Pomeroy
Railroad Company NOW the Ohio

and the late Hon. James Emmitt, of
Waverly, was President. They had
headquarters at WaVerly. AS the road
was built soon after the ''crime of
1873" the company ran short of cash,
and Mr.. Chapman thought an issue of
scrip would be the proper thing for the
laborers engaged in It's construction.
The scrip was issued, but when the
laborers found that they could get no |
cash for it, but were compelled to |
stand big shave, or discount, at the
