What IS called an election took

franchised, while negroes and carpet

or Wells, Radical What has been
the result of the contest we are not as
yet advised. It was generally thought
before the election that Walker would
be elected. One thing is evident, il
the people were freely left to, express
their will neither of the parties would
succeed. And why State which, ae-
cording 4 to the decision of the, SUI

The Rugged Issue.

"a. .
The Radical State Convention on
the 23d nit, unequiyocally, endorsed
the proposed 18th amendment to the
Federal Constitution. The question
is not simply whether the people of
Ohio viii allow negroes the right of
suffrage in the State or not Ohio, has
at ali times been fully competent to
determine that question for herself,
and in 1867, did decide by majority
of $4,000 against comforting the privi-
lege, The question which the people
are called upon to vote is of deeper
interest and importance than that
From the formation of the Federal
Government to the present time, eve
ry State has enjoyed and exercised the
right to determine for itself who
should enjoy the privilege of the cleo
tive franchise. That was IA right
which was not included in the powers
delegated to the general government,
and the question now is, will the State
surrender this reserved right, and by
Its action force their sister States to
surrender the control of the question
within their borders against the will
of their people.

We Send that Chicken Home to Roost.
The Salem Republican, edited by
Radical member of the last Legisla-
ture, in making charges against the
Democratic majority, says:
''At the November session, they
voted mileage to clerks, sergeant-;lt-
arms, and messenger boys; thing
never before done i'll any General As
sembly."
The November session lasted but
three days. and the per diem, fifteen
dollars, was insufficient to pay travel
ing expenses and board while the Leg
islatare was in session.
The motion to give the employees
mileage, the same as was paid to mem-
bers, was made, not by a Democrat,
but by j. Twigg Brooks, leading
Radical, and representing the district,
the county and the village in which
the Republican is printed. If the
Democracy is to be held accountable
for the acts of Mr.. Brooks, the Repa6-
9icdn might add a large amount, as the
per diem which this same Radical Sen
ator drew from the State Treasury,
while absent at home, the greater part
of the session, attending to his private
business.-Ohio Statesman. So

est ON the foreign debt of this STATE,
which became due ON the 1st inst
This debt was contracted in coin, or in
a currency that was measured by
coin standard, and, if any class ofpub-
lie creditors are entitled TO receive
their pay, principal and interest in
coin those holding these bonds of the
State should be so paid yet the Radi-
cal authorities of the State compel
them to receive their pay in depre-
ciated currency worth but about SER
eRty cents on the dollar, which is q

according to Radical ethics, is, all fair
and honest, but when the Democracy
urge the payment of the $40 bonds
of the Federal Government. in the
same currency in which it was con-
tracted, and in which alone it was
agreed to be paid, these pious patriots
are filed with holy horror and de
nounce the proposition as an attempt
to repudiate the public obligation and
an act of bad faith.
The creditors of the State loaned il
gold dollars or their equivalent and
the Radicals pay them, principal and
interest, in deprecated paper, worth
but 70 cents on the dollar. The ma
tionaI creditors loaned the Govern
ment deprecated paper, worth, at the
time, but about 40 or so cents on the
dollar, and the Radicals insist that to
pay them in anything else than coin is
rank reputation, and, although nei-
ther the law nor the bond require the
debt to be paid in any other currency
than that iii which it was created, the
Radical rnmp last winter passed q law
under the pretext of " sustaining the
public credit by which they provid-
