ana 54ave some object In view, In pursuing any
particular course either in business or politics.
And to get ut the matter, we repeat what we
have before said, THAT the opposition to Mr.,
Wilson Is not based on him personally, or his
record in Congress. II originates In desire on
the part Of same to dlsplace Col. Coates and what
is called the "Reyenue Ring" The question
then arises as to why Col. Coates should be re-
moved. ls II because of inefficiency or neglect
or dishonesty In office? No such charges are
made. He stands No. In Washington as an eff
tcient and faithful officer. Is 1t because of his
political recQrd2 Was he formerly Democrat
or nm Andy johnson man? There are u great
many members Of the Republican party who
formerly were Democrats or Andy Johnson men !
Is 1t proposed to read all such proselytes out OF
the party? lfsuch Is the case II would seem use
less TO attempt making any more proselytes.
Perhaps II Is only the office-holders who are to
be read out We had no part In the appoint
ment of Col, Coates. This paper opposed his
confirmation, and the editor then conducting 1t,
after being deserted by the very men who clam
Ored for the opposition, fought the continuation
almost single-handed, and predicted, In case II
was consummated, the very results now devel-
Oplng Col Coates was recommended for the
position by leading Republicans In this district
and endorsed by Hon. II. s. Bundy, then In Con
gress, who claimed then and still says that he
had to choose between Col. Coates and an aYow-
cd Democrat. Ifhis appointment was mistake
we had no part In II and have not felt called up
on 30 wage war against him."
The opposition in Portsmouth is q
serious matter, as / discovered when
was there. All kinds Of trickery in the
county convention was charged. But
whose fault was it, At the convention
to appoint delegates to the Congression
al Convention, there were only abou
i6O persons present, although it wa
publicly called as a mass convention
At the election last fall, according Il
the Tribune Almanac, there were 244'
Republican votes cast in SciOto county

appropriate editorial:

Is ill-cOnducted. They declare that the part
which they regard the best Is corrupt ana mat
