Wake Up, Republicans

Tt is necessary that the Rspuhli
can voters of the State of OHIO should
realize the fact that they are in dan
ger of defeat. Only in this way can
they be reused from all apathy
which viii be fatsl unlessit be dis
turbed. The Rspublicans OF the
State are in danger of being lul!ed
INTO afaise securit.. They are rest
ing quietly, believing that the State
is secure-that the magnificent ma
iority for Grant last fall can not be
wiped away. They are making a
very serious mistake. Our majority
two years ago for Governor was
only 1888; last year at the State
election, alter a sharp contest and
on the fullest vote ever before pol!ed
in the State. il was only 1885 =
This year we have to contend against
the atursl apathy abd resction
which follows Presidential cam
Ipaign. We have also to contend
against the influence Of a third party,
which will poll from three to five
thousand votes, which will be SUBJ
tracted directly from our own
strength. This, it will be seen, leaves
US but small margin, and unless
the Republicans OF the State turn
ont and work, they will be defeated.
We entreat them, therefore,to organ
ize at once for the campaigno Let
them aoOrk, work., WORK!i.-
No time is to he lost, no effort Is to
be spared. If the Republicans do
their duty, the State is secure il
they are idle and over-conhdent, We
shall be beaten.-Cleuelald Leader.

Land Appraisers.

1t will be observed that the Assess
ors to be elected in October hold
Office for the period of ten years, and
make q return to the County Auditor
in July next, aad. the fifth year there
after, Of the amount, DESCRIPTION, and
vaIue Of the real property subject to
asseesmelts ID their respective dis
tricts. / " ~ H
Tue Assessor must personally
inspect the property, and with such
information as he can obtain to guide
him, must fix its value in money. The
price which it would bring at auction
or at q forced sale, is not to be his
criterion. 1t therefore depends en-
tirely upon his knowledge of the val
ne OF the property in his district and
the sounduess of his judgment,
Whether the property shall be rated
too high or too low.
The law affords but two correc-
tions for such errors as he may make
in valuation. 1t authorizes the coun-
ty Auditor to appoint an Assistant
Assessor to enable him to complete
his labor within the time specified,
and provides for special Board OF
Equalization of the real estate in
cities of the first and second class,
which is to meet in October following
the 8a1uation, and which has power
% make such change in the value set
upon the property blythe Assessors
as in its judgment are needed.
1t is not necessary to enlarge upon
the Importance of selecting for the
Office Of assessor of real estate the
best qualified citizen to be found in a
district, and that too, without regard
to his politics. II is matter OF dol
lars and cents to every real estate
owner, as he will be made to feel
yearly when he comes to pay his
tsxes. Though he be ever so con-
scious that the rate upon his prop
erty is too high, and his taxes by SO
much too heavy, yet he will be with
out remedy unless he can prevail
upon the Equalizing Board to cor
rect the Assessors estimate.
The pay of the Assessors-two
dollars per day for every day of actual
service-is too low. They have no
percentage or perquisites, and it will
be dicicult to find really competent
men Who will be willing to serve for
compensation insufficient to pay
boarding and other necessary expen-
ses OF living.
Doubtless the Legislature will this
winter, increase the pay so as to
make it an object to hold the office
and transact its duties. But even
should it not do so, the people ought
to be careful to choose only upright,
conscientious, and competent men to
determine the money value of their
listable real property.-Cincinnati
