1The Democracy will no longer trust
the people Of Cincinnati to regulate their own
municipal affairs in their own way. A bill
has been passed through the Locofoco Legis-
lasure taking the appointment OF the Police
from the city government. The bill provides
that three Locofoco ofhce-holders Of Cincin-
natl shall choose FIVE Commissioners and
these FIVE Commissioners shall appoint the
Police force OF Cincinnati.
If the Legislature Of Iowa had passed a law
providing that Recorder Merriam, Collector
Stephens and the City Attorney should APP
point five Commissioners, whose duty it
should DO to select the Policemen OF Keokuk,
our Legislature would have done for this city
just what the Ohio Legislature has done for
Cincinnati.
In Ohio they Gall that mode of leaving the
people to regulate their own affairs in their
own way, Democratic, and it is just 80 Dem
ocratic as the measures and principles of the
party elsewhere, since they have surrendered

Dodge's name has been received by the Dem

Well, really, here is news, indeed. We
did not suspect the Democratic press was
unanimous in favor Of Dodge for Governor,
and 'shence consequently" could not have
been in any "sweat' or ssstew," either "per-
feet" or ssterrible," over the matter. And
.naw, since we are informed that the Demo
cratic press have with sgreat unanimity" re-
ceived the name of Gen. Dodge as the "most
fitted" man for Governor, we do not feel
troubled in the slightest degree. First, be-
cause the information il without shadow of
foundation in truth, aud, second, because if
it were true We know that Gen. Dodge is not
the most available candidate of the party
And, moreover, we say with "perfect" frank
ness there 10 no man in the party to whom VIZ
should more rejoice to administer sigma
rebuke.--an overwhelming defeat, than thai
same Augustus Caesar Dodge.
