As was expected, the Ohio House of
/ Representative rejected the Fifteenth
Amendment. The great State of Ohio,
| a State that did so much for the Union

In one of the rural towns in Rhode
| Island, through which swept a recent
revival, there dwells a father and three
soEs, all of whom had long voted the

| others said, with mournful headshake,
| s4They don't vote with us any more /;
/ they have experienced religion"

/ that he was ordered out of the colored

/ of Music, a few nights ago, on the

had no right to be there. The usher
could not have been Democratic
member of of the Ohio Legislature, or
/ the "'admiXture" would have been
''visible."

| He says, as the result of his investigl-

AS to the general charge of corrup-

In the bureau of the Comptroller of

men employed of these, seven are
| widows of officers killed in the service;
one is the wife of an officer now insane;
one is daughter of the guard who de-
Tended Secretary Seward from assas-
sinatiOn one is daughter of former
chaplain of the House of Representa-
tives one is daughter of an officer
who served through the war and the
remainder are persons of good family
and unimpeachable character, and
nearly all, if not all, had fathers or
brothers in our army. Only one ap-
pointment has been made on the re-
commendation of a Congressman, and

The Republican party is always weak
due part to its cowardice and partly
to its exceeding generosity. The Dem
ocratic party has from its first organi-
zation been strong on local elections.
1t leaves no stone unturned to secure
its full vote in township and city cleo
tions. As much work viii be done to
elect a constable or pathmaster as to
elect mayor or police justice. The
result is in cases out of 10 that in
evenly balanced districts the Democrats
| win our local elections. And the even
| tual result will be the defeat of the Re
| publican party in the State and nation
| al elections, unless change of policy
| is introduced and the same efforts are
made to carry the floating vote for
Governor or President. The party
leaders and Office holders are RESPONSE
BILE for the condition of things, and
! they will discover their error when
| perhaps it may be too late to remedy
the evil.-,Sandassky Register.
