The long vexed question Of the right
of the soldiers at the DAYTON (Ohio) sol
dler Home to vote in that State, has
been finally decided by the Attorney
General of Ohio, whose decision confirms
| the claim Of Gen. Schenck. Ii is provid-
ed, however, that the soldiers voting
must have resided in thu State for one
year. This bone Of contention has been
a troublesome one between the two par
ties. and the decision arrived at is the
only just and equitable one.
| The splendid victories of the Republi-
can party in California, Maine, Wyoming
| Colorado and North Carolina-all within
a few weekS-are declared by the Demo
Gratis to be merely epllcmeral in their na
ture. This has been the talk Of the De-
mocracy for fifteen years. When we
beat them at the polls. they Immediately
declare the defeat exec ptional-next
time we shall succeed. they say. 1t must
be admitted that they have the organ Of
hope largely developed. The poet Young
! says, MAN never is, but always to be
blest. That's the way with the Demo-
cracy, they always anticipate success, but
are never blest with a realization Of it
and never ought to be.

tober.
Civil suits have been actually commen-
ced in the courts of New York against
tie Tammany robbers of the City treasu-
, ry, for the recovery of money fraudulent
! ly obtained. 1t is thought that all OF
the dishonest city officials and contractor
will now be called to account, ami made
to disgorge-that is, if Judges and Jur.
les can be found who will do their duty
The German Democi ats of NV York
city have form ally Withdrawn from the
Democratic party ,and intend hereafter
To occupy and independent political po-
sitlon. At a meeting Of Germans held
in that city a few days ago it was reSolv-
cd and recommended that the Germans
50 operate with Republicans in favor Of
municipal reform aud TO elect homes
men as members of the next State Legis
lature. Faithful to their instincts al
the traditions Of the race, the German!
can no longer be used as instruments tc
perpetuate in power the actors in thi
conspiracy against the right Of the major
, ity Of the people to control the govern
! ment. Whenever nj ustice is made ap
parent the Germans are always ready tc
oppose aud resist il.
