ADDITIONAL EDITORIAL.
By the change in the Internal Reve
nue districts we do not learn that A
Clark Tonner, of our city, will lose his
wholesome place.
Stark county nominated Hoadly, and
an a return for the favor, the conven
tion nominated Warwick by acclama
tion. Alliance Leader.
Republican journals call Hoadly ''a
wlggler in politic." He will wiggle
the Republican party thin fall In Ohio
ho that there will be hardly enough
left to wiggle.
The Republican papers have much to
say concerning Hoadly, but little or
nothing regarding AfrT Foster Fora
kerl They are singularly reticent as to
this F F man.
Some Republican journals call George
I loudly an "agnostic." Well, he will
doubtless send the Star routo, Pond
Scott party into an agonizing condition.
Indeed, he has done bo already.?
We understand it was not all har
mony In the Republican convention
that nominated Kckley for the State
Senate. It seems there was bitter oppo
sition among the Stark county delegates.
John Bright declares that he thinks
the eight millions of full-grown men on
the British Islands could defend a hole
in the ground twenty feet wide and
twenty miles long. So he is in favor of
tunneling the Channel.
The Scott law repeals the Sunday law
as to liquor selling, so as to admit of
councils of municipal organizations
passing ordinances allowing saloons to
sell openly on Sunday. And yet the Re
publican is a "grand, pious, old party"
according to some.
We are now sailing under the tariff
act of March 3, 1883. A large part of
the bunion of taxation has been remov
ed. Repository.
This is the tariff act McKlnley voted
against voting with the Democrats.
It is a piece of favoritism and hence an
Iniquity.
The Alliance Review sort of claims
Kckley's majority in the Stark-Carroll
district will be "a neat 1,000." If we can
"judge the signs of the times aright"
that "neat 1,000" will be on the other
leg. That Is the tendency of things now.
It is Hoadly, Warwick and victory.
The Iowa Republicans go In for pro
hibition, constitutional and statutory,
and refuse to renominate a Supreme
Judge who had decided the prohibition
amendment void because it- was not
adopted as the Constitution requires.
There are just about enough Republi
can Germans in Iowa to reverse that
party's majority.
Some of the saloon-keepers say nnder
the Scott law they are taxed without
protection. They are mistaken. The old
alleged law against drinking on the
premises is repealed. The trafllc is,
therefore, lawful. Is that no compensa
tion for taxation? Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette,
Rep.
The Commercial-Gazette might also
refer to the Sunday provision, as also a
mitigating circumstance.
At the next meeting of the General
Assembly of the Knights of Labor at
Cincinnati, to be held in August, a pro
position wtll be submitted to change the
system of organization, bo as to make
each trade independent. The movement
originated in the Pittsburgh district,
and is an outgrowth of opposition to the
system of taxing all trades when repre
sentatives of any one are on strike.
The Southern Pacific Railroad con
tracts to deliver wheat in Liverpool from
San Francisco .via. the jetties for 42
cents a bushol. On the Kith, wheat in
San Francisco was quoted at 89 cents
and the same day in Liverpool at 11.30.
The time by the rail and jetty route is
31 days. The chief competitors are the
vessels that go around Cape Horn In
from 100 to 120 days, but charging
much lower rates.
The trade dollar makes a hard fight
for itself, because it contains more fine

dollar" was not called for by the Chinese
trade. It was called for in the coarse
of the legislation to get rid of silver le
gal tender money. The New York Times
says: .-
"The coin was first authorized ten
years ago. At that time the Mexican
'pillar' dollar was most readily received
in China, whence came the principal
demand for silver. That dollar was
worth a little more than our own and
more than any other. To enable our
dealers to get the Chinese market for
their silver, the U. S. Government was
authorised to coin 420 grains of silver,
nine-tenths tine, into a piece to be dis
tinctly stamped 'trade dollar.' This was
a little more valuable than the Mexican
dollar, which contained 416 gralus.with
slightly less alloy. The new coin was
made exclusively for the owners of bul
lion and at their expense; it was, how
ever, declared a legal tender, in com
mon with the fractional silver coins, for
amounts not exceeding $5."
Chinese do not care for coins. They
are experts in weighing and testing all.

weigh and stamp to please their deli

FAIR LAWN, NEWPORT, R. I.,
September 6, 1880.
Diiar Senator Dorsey: I expect to send
you 11 vo thousand moro in a day or two.
I have already called a meeting of my
committee which has been largely In
creased for Thursday and after that I
hope to go on In response to Gen. Gar

Again:
NEWPORT, Sept. 7, 1880.
Dear Mr. Dorsey: I have just received
yours of the 4th Inst, and have read with
great Interest your plan of action. I
wrote you on the 29th enclosing my
check for the amount you asked, $ 5,000,
and now enclose my check for 15,000 ad
ditional. This makes my personal ad
vances $30,000, without having collected
a dollar from any one. He said Mr. New
must stop short unless Mr. Jewell could
send him $10,000. I finally gave him a
check for $4,000 to Mr. New's order aud
also sent $5,000 more to the Senator who
was in distress. I think you had better
inform Gen. Arthur confidentially of
your plans and my action,; and consult
with him. Yours very truly,

Dear Senator Dorsey: I have your per

disturbed by the remarks made by some
people. Your friends here have entire
confidence in you and the success of your
labors. You can, I think, surely count
upon all the assistance your estimates
call for. I endorse $5,000 herewith.
Keep up your courage. We are bound
to curry New York and win the race.

Dear Mr. Dorsey: Yours of 15th was
received yesterday. I immediately tele

Indianapolis. I learn this morning
through Mr. Hubbel that you are iu
immediate want of money. I sent you
yesterday morning before receipt of your
letter $5,000, as I am going to Newport
for two or three days, although I did not
know you were in immediate need of
money. I will pay the draft of $2,000
advised by Mr. Hnbbell, and send you
herewith my check for $1,000, which
with the $2,000 subscribed to our com
mittee by Mr. Bonier and sent you by
him, makes $20,000 in all.

LETTER FROM MICHIGAN
ISHPEMING, MICH., June 30, 1883.
Ed. Democrat: Thinking that, per
haps, a few words from this, the great
iron ore producing portion of the United
States, would not be altogether uninter
esting, especially at this time, as we are
now experiencing the Deauties anu trie
benefits of the late and lamented tariff
commission.
Ishpeming is the largest city in Mar
quette county, situated 10 miles west of
the city of Marquette, from whence
nearly all the shipments of Marquette
county mines are made by Lake. Within
the city limits of Ishpeming are located
the Lake Superior, Cleveland, New York
and Barnum mines; the first named, the
largest in the United States, shipping
last season nearly- 300,000 tons of ore.
The Cleveland with an equal capacity,
or nearly so, whilst notshowingso well
in the out-put, is capable of duplicating
the figures at any time. The Barnum
and New York, each owned and con
trolled by good Democrats, viz: W. II.
Barnum and the silent man of Gram
mercy Park, Btand well up in the figures
of ore mined and shipped last season.
Whilst the above named are the princi
pal mines in the immediate limits of
the town, there are many others close
by which, daring last season, shipped
enormous quantities of ore; and, con
trasting this busy, active and energetic
city of last year, with its ceaseless trains
of ore laden cars passing through the
city at all hours of the day and night,
and Its merchants and tradesmen with
smiling faces in anticipation of the
gain their business was sure to bring
them, with what it is to-day, we find an
ore train Is composed of one section, and
trains run at long Intervals and the
train men work by what Is known here
as "mining time," and when the whistle
at six o'clock is blown the engines are
driven into their stalls -in the round
house and groomed.
The business men are despondent. Dur
ing the "bob-tail" flush times of last
year they very liberally extended credit
to the miners, but after January 1st of
the present year, when the iron business
became unsettled, and men were being
discharged and wagns lowered, they dis
covered that the men were unable to
meet their obligations,- and had to seqk
other fields of labor and credit, to
their discomfiture; and now, instead of
the bland smile lighting np their feat
nres, a sort of shylock cast of counte
nance is perceptible. Aud since the
date above named many failures have
taken place, and all this change has
come about since Congress Imposed an
additional 50 per cent, duty on imported
ore, effectually keeping out of the mar
ket 600,000 tons at least, (that being the
amount imported in 1882). But still the
grinding, crushing policy of 'free trade'
las not brought this result about. Can
anv sensible person believe that protec
tion protects? as yon have often asked
In the Democrat. Just as I now write
I learn that the L. 3. mine discharged
150 men last night, making 400 dischar
ged since Jan. 1st, 1883, since which
time many of them nave, like Pegnsus,
put wings to their feet and taken flight
to the land of the Dakotahs.

rival. The Iron Agitator, of this city,
Geo. A. Newitt, editor, is one of the
handsomest papers iu the State. Its
make-up is good, is well edited, and its
local columns are up to the standard.
A feature about the Agitator is that its
columns are not open to patent medi
cine "ads" and on its pages you will
never see the bangs of Mrs. Piukham or
that studious dutuhmau, St. Jacobs, of
oil notoriety, but the pa pern, or rather
the editors of them, keep up the time

STATE UNIVERSITY.
The Trustees, Give their Reasons for Removing
Dr. Scott.
Columiius, July 2. The Board of Trus
tees of the Ohio State University met
here Friday afternoon in pursuance of
the request of Governor Foster for some
official report or statement from them
explanatory of their action in retiring
President Scott from the presidency of
the institution. After an exciting meet
ing meeting, a committee was appoint
ed to draft a reply to the Governor s let
ter anil report this evening. The fol
low Is the report.
"To His Excellency Charles Fostor, Gov
ernor of Ohio.
Sir: In answer to your polite letter
of the 25th Inst., addressed to the Presi
dent of the Board of Trustees of the
Ohio State University, in reference to
their not re-electing the Rev. Walter Q.
Scott president of said institution, the
board of trustees respectfully submit
the following statement:
The powers aud duties df the board in
relation to the president and faculty of
the Ohio State University, are prescrib
ed by section 8420 of the Revised Stat
utes, which reads as follows:
"The board of trustees shall have the
power to adopt by-laws, rules, -and reg
ulations for Hie government of said col
lege, to select a president, to determine
the number of professors and tutors.
elect the same and fix their salaries.
They shall also have the power to re
move the president or any professor or
tutor, whenever the interest of the col
lege, in their judgement, shall require
it, to fix and regulate the course of in
struction, and to prescribe the extent
and character of experiments to be
made.
Under a rale adopted by said board in
1878 and adhered to ever since, the pres
ident and faculty have been elected an
nually at the meeting of the board held
at the close of the college year. Fol
lowing this rule the Rev. Waltor Q.
Scott was on June 21st, 1881, elected by
the board President of the university for
one year. On June 20th, 1882, he was
re-elected for one year. At the meeting
held on the l'Jth day of June, at the
close of the current collegiate year, his
term having about expired, he failed of
re-election, receiving the vote, of only
one member of the board. It is difllcult
to place before you aud the public all
the causes which resulted in such ac
tion. We deem it sufficient to say that
each member of the board who voted
"no" on the proposition to re-elect Dr.
Scott, acting upon his solemn oath, anil
looking solely to the nest Interests of
the university, for the following, among
other reasons, decided that such inter
ests would not be subserved by his fur
ther retention:
First, He had neglected for more than
one year to carry into effect a positive
resolution of the board, the performance
of the duties required by said resolution
being one of the reasons for his election
as president.
Second, That in public lectures at the
university and elsewhere, he promulga
ted unsound and dangerous doctrines of
political economy.
Third, Neglect of duty in withhold
ing communications sent to the board
through him.
Fourth, General lack of executive
ability.

HOADLY SERENADED.
The Democratic Candidate Honored by a
Visit From the Duckworth Club.
Cincinnati, June 30. At a quarter
past 10 o'clock to-night the Duckworth
Club, three hundred strong, with the
military band and calcium lights, en
tered the beautiful grounds in front of
Judge Homily's mansion, on East Wal
nut 11 ills. Halting iu front of the
porch, the band played a piece, after
which calls were made for Hoadly. The
Judge appeared at the door and was re
ceived with a volley of ringing cheers.
His speech throughout was compliment
ary and showed u steady avoidance of
party questions. He opened with a flat
tering reference to the services of the
Duckworth Club iu securing him the
nomination at Columbus, and referred
to the fact that he diil not get the un
animous support of the club, but added,
"faithful are the wounds of friends."
He welcomed the club to the First ward
and reminded them that here people put
into practice the principle of living ac
cording to Jefferson inn principles, each
man allowing his neighbor to think, eat,
drink, and mind his own business, just
us he pleased. He was vehemently
cheered. His parlors were crowded
with friends and neighbors from East
Walnut Hills.
The Republican papers are endeavor
ing to create tlie Impression that the
life-long Democrats, whom they flippant
ly term "moss-backs," will not support
Judge ll ailly for Govirnor. They need

HURD IS HEARD.
His Views on the Political Campaign
in Ohio.
He Thinks it is a Mistake to Have Deposed
John G. Thompson, But Believes the
Ticket a Strong One.
Chicago. July 2. The Hon. Frank
Hurd, member of Congress from Ohio,
was met yesterday by a reporter, and
inveigled into a short talk on Ohio poll
ties. "I am here purely on professional
business," he said, "and have not paid
much attention to results since the con
vention." How do you like the ticket?"
"1 think the ticket is a splendid one.
Judge Hoadly occupies the front rank
in his profession in unto, and is regard
ed as among the ablest lawyers in the
whole country. He win mane an active,
vigorous campaign, and will call to the
support of the Democracy its allies, the
liberal Germans, who almost unani
mously desired his nomination. That
nomination was made alter tne most
active opposition of those who were
called moss-backed Democrats. The
Democracy has nothing to fear from
them, for when the ticket is nominated
they vote it. lloadly's superb talents,
his great service to tne Democracy in re
sisting the counting-ln of Hayes, his
original fealty to the Democratic party,
in which he was born, will all combine
to make for him the most enthusiastic
campaign we've had .in Ohio for many
years. The nomination of Peter Brady
for State Treasurer adds materially to the
strength of the ticket, which is a good
one all the way down."
"There have been some changes in tne
State Central Committee, have there
not?"
"Yes. the Chairman. John G. Thomp
son, has b ten deposed. This deposition
from a position he nas held for twenty
five years I regard as a great political
blunder. He knew every election pre
cinct in Ohio, and was familiar with
every local politician of prominence.
lie understood tnorouguiy uie yuubicui
necessities of every locality in the
State. To turn out such an organizer
Is not only political ingratitude, but
endangers the success of the party."
"What have you to say abont the plat
form adopted by the convention?"
"Upon the liquor question the Demo
cratic party offers the only intelligent
proposition. The Republican party de
clares for taxation of the liquor busi
ness which is already taxed as every
other business Is In Ohio. It proposes
to select this legitimate business out of
all others and put an additional burden
noon It. The Democratic party proposes.
In consideration of the danger both to
the public and the man engaged in the
business, to ask from him a license fee
annually which shall enable him to do
his business without detriment to tne
people and with the protection of the
law."
"Is the tariff question treated satis
factorily?" "The platform upon the tariff is some
what meaningless, bnt it is so much
better than the Republican resolution
upon the same subject that no revenue
reformer onght to have a doubt that it is
his duty to vote the Democratic nonet.

BUSINESS FAILURES.
New York, July 2. Approximate fig
ares of the business failures over the
entire country for the half year ending
Friday, compiled by R. G. Dun & Co., in
dicate a marxea increase in tne numoer
and extent of the liabilities as compar
ed with the corresponding periods of
the two previous years. For the first
six months the failures were 2.802. the
first six months of 1882, 3.597, the first
half of 1883, 4,637. Liabilities show
greater increase, in 1881 tne nam ti
tles the first six months were S40.000.000.
In 1882, $40,000,000; first six months of
1883, 106,000,000. The Increase of liabil
ities the last half year is largely attrib
uted to speculative failures in the west,
but even deducting the indebtedness
springing from this cause, the increase
iu failures and liabilities is very mark
ed. It is noticeable, however, that dur
ing the second quarter of the year mer
cantile disasters were much less than in
the first quarter, in which the bulk of
the increase occurs, so it is possible the
worst part of the year has been got over.
Reports as to the business outlook from
ninety-seven trade centers indicate a
more hopeful feeling as to the future.
