Radical Honesty.

One of the resolves of the office hold
ers' State Convention reads thus:
81. The present administration Of the
National Government has yindicated its
right to the continued confidence Of the
people. Its success has been illustrated
in the impartial execution of the laws;
in its faithfulness, honesty and economy
in the collection of public revenues, and
in the expenses of the Government"
etc. s.t# II. --.. ..
Commissioner PLEAsANToN, of the In

That is the ''honesty and economy in
the collection of public revenues" in
dorsed by the Radical Office Holders
Convention held at Columbus, Ohio, June
|21. 1t is quite likely that some of these
ex Collectors participated as delegates
and returned their thanks, in the above
resolution,to to the powers at Washington,
for allowing them TO go free with the
peoples money.

ministlation" to prosecute the men who

Claiming Credit Nst Their Dae.

The Radical State Convention gush-
inely endorsed GRANT because the ma
tional debt has been reduced.
This reduction of the debt is the chief
boast of the Radical party y,and they rely
largely upon it to keep them from sink
ing. On every possible occasion this
subject is paraded before the people. 1t
is thrust prominently forward in every
platform it is proclaimed loud and long
in every speech it is hashed and rehash-
ed and hashed again in every newspa.
per. .. ..... ..... H
One might be LED to suppose from the
great merit claimed for GRANT in con
nexion with it, that he had paid the
whole sum from his private purse; or al
the very least, that it had all been paid
by the Radical politicians. a"
This debt has been paid by the whole
people, (bond-holders partially except
ed, and to them belongs the credit
whatever it may be. 1t is simply piece
of brazen impudence to assign the merit
to GRANT, who has paid no more of il
than his infnitessimal share as citizen
Like most of the pretensions of thc
Radical leaders, this Wanted claim to ad
miration is a transparent fraud.
If the tax payers of the country vii
examine their pocket books they will no
need Radical demagogues to tell then
where the money come from-not only
that which reduced the debt, but th,
hundreds, thousands and millions which
have been stolen or corruptly squan
dered. -..-s..- ts-

The Cost of the Ku KluX InVeSii.
cation.

1t is estimated that each Ku Klux wit
ness costs the country about $3.50 and
many of them much more, so that the
temptation to visit the Capital at the
public cost is sufficient for wandering
arpet,baggcrs, vicious negroes, or low
scalawags, who form the staple of those
called to Washington on the Radical
side from the South. Over $50, 900 have
thus far been expended.

No Test 0athS.

The Supreme Court of the State has
decided all the test oaths constitutional.
The Lawyers oath, Teachers oath, Suit
ors's oath, and Voters oath, have all
been held to be consistent with the pres
ent Constitution. We want no Consti
tuition that tolerates such enormities -
Let a Convention be held to tear from
the organic law the last surviving sane
ton of prescription, and let Pull and
sufficient provision be made against any
Test Oath legislation in the future.

That the platform of the Ohio Radi-
Gals does not. indicate the policy thoy.
intend TO pursue, scarcely stands in nced
of proef TIE fact that they have had
entire control of every Department of
the government for many years past, land
have not only neglected to adopt their
promised reforms, but have constantly
rejected such reforms as were proposed
by others, should convince an candid
men that they do not desire reform that
they make promises in their platforms
solely for the purpose,ef catching cred
Ulous voters, and without any intention
of fulfilling those promises.
But if any further evidence were wan
ting of the utter hollowness of their
pretensions it is to be found in the ur-
qualified endorsement of GRANTS ad-
ministration, which is the leading feature
Of the platform. This endorsement com
pIetely and conrlusively negatives every
reformation proposed in the other reso-
lutions. r... 81. ... 80
They prate about civil service reform,
and at the same time endorse the action
of GRANT in driving from his Cabinet
the first officer who attempted to intro
duce that reform. ES-Secretary Cox, it
| is well-known, was crowded out of the
cabinet for the sole reason that he was
introducing this reformation.
They denounce the granting of pub
lie lands to monopolies-nine tenths Of
which granting has Leen, done by them
selves-and endorse the action of GRANT
in promptly signing every bill which law
ished these lands upon greedy and cor
rupt monopolies. -..-.,..... ,.f,...-
They resolve for tariff which will not
prejudice, but promote the interests of
every section. This in the very teeth of
the fact that they are the authors and
supporters of the most iniquitous taliff
law ever framed by mortal man. They
unqualifedly endorse GRANT who is con-
spicuous for his advocacy Of this villain
Gus system. r-..... ......
They ignore San Domingo, but they
endorse GRANTS administration, the
most prominent feature of which has
been the attempt by the most discredita-
bic means to get possession of that cour.-
try. t..- .8.5
The conclusion is perfectly fair and
legitimate one that we are to look for
the designs of the Radical party, not in
the gull-catching promises they make,
but in the past conduct of the admins
tration which they so cordially endorsed.

[From the Charleston tWest Va) Courier
All Sufficient.

Our present Constitution provides
that the Legislature msy provide for q
registry of voters. From that innocent
looking provision came the. infamous
registration law and all lis outrages. A
Convention should be held to strike out
that provision, if for no other purpose.
Experience has taught the people of
West Virginia that the power of regis
tration, which is but another name for
disfranchisement, should not be conf
ded to any Legislature.

The New York Tribune, finding it diff
fcult to answer the able testimony given
by Gen FORREST before its nquisitoriaI
Ku Klux Committee, in Washington,
says: re .af pr. ... :.--..-..
"It is instructive, at moment when a
great Government across the ocean is
taking so bloody vengeance upon its
rebels, to observe the entire unconscious
ness of guilt and the insolent attitude
toward the victorious Nation displayed
by our beaten and convicted traitors.
BY all the rules of civilized warfare, and
by the law of the land, Mr.. Forrest has
no right to the head out of which these
brazen falsehoods ISSUE He is not q
credible witness on any case of treason
or negro killing; and if, as reported, a
Committee of Congress has sent for him
to give evidence in these matters, the
Committee has been led thoughtlesslv
into a grave error"
AS its witness does not testify as it
was desired he should, the Tribune abu.
ses the Committee for summoning him,
and appears sorry he was not murdered
by q military court-martial long ago.

AZ The question has been suggested
whether the people of Ohio are in favor,
of electing John Sherman as United
States Senator for life He has already
held the place two terms, or twelve
years. and is now aspiring for third
election, making his service eighteen
years. We think it is high time that
the good old doctrine of rotation in Of
fee was opposed to him. A vote for
Noyes and his ticket is vote for John
Sherman, who has been the especial
champion, if not the attorney, for the
moneyed interests in Congress.

Ey The aggregate of the salaries OF
the Federal Office holders who came up
as delegates to the late Radical Conven
ton at Columbus, is estimated at about
81 100000 annually! This fact explains
very clearly the adoption Of the fu!-
some Endorsement of the corrupt Ad-
ministration of their lord and master in
Washington. The only wonder is that
they did not, by the power Of money
and patronage, carry through rcsolu-
lion committing the State to the renom-
ination of Grant in 1872 A little cf-
frontery would have done the job.
