Cincinnati Riot.


The American party on Wednesday last met
and adopted the following resolutions among
Others viz:
Resolved That the American Reform party in
the city of Cincinnati has heard with pain and
regret of the destruction Of the ballot-box andpo
books of the Eleventh and Twelfth Wards. They
disclaim all knowledge and agency in these acts of
violence, and condemn them in the most unqualified
terms. The frauds which characterized the election
in those Wards deserve the most unquali-
fed condemnation of all good citizens. But we
cannot consent, in this country of law, that such
excuses shall be redressed by such retaliatory
measures. Whilst the balot-box shall be kept
pure, its abuse by whatever fraudulent means,
must not be redressed by violence, but rather by
peaceabe resort to the courts and to the laws.
Resolved, That the American Reform party of
the city Of Cincinnati have heard with gratiica
ton tie determination of the candidates on their
ticket to decline any and every advantage which
may have been given to them by the loss to their
opponents of the votes Of said Wards.
The cause of the riot was the refusal of the
Germans of the Eleventh Ward to allow Amer
leans to vote.
The result, all law-abiding citizens deplore,
but let not the riot be charged to our party.
Such charge is untrue

PoLIrIcAL INFLUENCE OF ALIESs.-rour great
cities are crowded with large foreign born vote
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Balt-
more, st. Louis, New Orleans, and other large
cities, often decide the political contests in the
several States in which the are located-often hold
the balance OF political power. In almost all
ofthese large towns this foreign vote, banded to-
gether, controls the municipal suffrage. Therefore
in all closely contested elections, foreign born
tiers not only exert apowerful and important in
iuence on the local results, but also on State cleo
tons. The following statistics will serve to illus
trata these remarks.

ssFusion.,,

1t will be seen by the news of the morn
ing mails, that the Democrats and Wings
made fusion" in Hartford, Connecticut
at the recent city election for Aldermen
and Councilmen. Such illusions" are now
all right in the eyes of the Forneyites, whereas
three months ago they made terrible fuss at
/" fusions" of parties In New York such "fu-
sions" between the Forneyites and Sewardites
were the order Of the day at the late elections.
So, also, in Richmond, Virginia, the Forneyites
fused with Anti American Wings last Wednes-
day, and were sadly used by the Americans.
A "fusion" of all the odds and ends Of factions
opposed to Americanism will be made in Vir-
ginia, next May; but with all the fusion"
and confusion they can produce, the American
party will triumph by a large and decided ma
jority.

Resin ID. Shepherd.

The New Orleans Creole is giving sketches O
eminent merchants of that city, during the last
thirty-fve years. In its last number, we find the
following notice of Resin D. Shepherd, gentleman
well known to many Of our readers in this city and
in Virginia:
"Mr. Shepherd is native of Virginia, and came
to this city in the early part OF the present century,
fifty years ago. Time deals gently with him, smi-
ling kindly on his protracted life, and furnishing
another evidence Of longevity attained in our CHI
mate For the past few years, he has made vir-
gnia his established place Of residence, visiting
annually revered associations in New Orleans, in
the commercial history Of which he has so long and
so cioseiy uvvu fucrftifivo sad Interested. Ills
name Is found enrolled among the defenders Of
New Orleans, in the memorable campaign OF
l6l4-l5. Honorable notice is mentioned, in pub
lie dispatches from commanding officers, of his
meritorious conduct. Subsequently he was located
in Boston, engaged in commercial pursuits, his
brother, James III. Shepherd, who died in 1887,
conducting the business Of the firm in this city.
He belongs TO the old race Of merchants, of whom
over the broad extent OF our Confederacy, there
are but few remaining. Although partially retired
from active business he took decided interest and
was very jealous in concentrating and urging the
return 10 specie payments on the part of our banks
in the year 1912; which important undertaking
might have been procrastinated for longer period
had not he, Messrs. Z. ]. Forstall, Mason, w. A.
Gasquet, Alfred Hennen, and NJ. Morgan, taken
urgent and active persod measures In bringing
about that desirable end
Mr.. Shepherd has been engaged in active mer-
camille occupations for the best part Of his life at
tanning the highest fame and emnence In all the
various relations of merchant, man, and citizen
In his general intercourse, characterized by frank
ness blended with dignity, he appears TO pass over
the road Of life with attended comfort, content
ment and happiness and to receive from his fellow
citizens those manifestations ofrespect and esteem
which be so eminently has earned and so Justly de-
serves.
BY prudence, sagacity, and caution, escaping
the commercial disasters and misfortunes which
have fallen TO the part Of so many thousands en-
gagged in commerce prosperous and successful In
his undertakings noted for the strictest integrity
and high moral worth like his great compeer Ju-
dab Touro, VIC regard him as one who has largely
contributed TO elevate and ennobe with true great
ness the mercantile character Of our city and the
standing Of our State

The Detroit Advertiser remarks !:

"No one who considers the matter for an in
slant can fail to see the political power which is in
the hands of aliens in the United States. Were
they scattered throughout the land in country
towns, they would be shorn of their influence; but,
by collecting together in large cities, and moving
as an unit, they WELD power that is mighty and
which may, if unchecked elect in the future, as it
has done in the past, Presidents and Governors.
Are the fears, then, which entertained respect
ing foreign influence groundess No; on the con-
trary there is the strongest foundation for them.
Aliens have taught Americans good lesson. If
immigrants already in the country band together
as one body and by concentrating together in large
cities, control the votes Of States it is certainly
time to check the growing evil before 1t gets be-
yond our control. The movement is on foot, and
has gained strong foothold which win wrest the
political power of the country from the hands of
foreign-born citizens. Americans win rule America
