Official Pollteness.

persons refuse to possess it, 1t
should be the pleasure Of every one
to treat with common courtesy

But to enter the presence of some
public officers is like entering the
den of some wild animal; you are on
the guard continually. and fear that
the harsh words and gathering

honest claim, you have been made to
feel that you have plundered the
Treasury; if you have protested
against some official act, or submit
ted objections to certain decisions,
you are in doubt whether you have
performed the duty of an American
citizen or encroached upon the rights
of some august monarch.

The Ohio Election.
prom the Cincinnati aauetts,)

So far as we can Judge at thIs
writing, the election il Ohio shows
in both parties all the Indifference
that belongs to the "off years" in
politics. The Democratic party
have persevering voting qualities 10
the mass which stand up better
against general apathy, but its vote
is far from full one. A light vote
always tells against the republican
party. This being the off year, was
time for general indulgence in di.
visions. such as prohibition parties,
farmers parties, peoples parties,
citizens parties and general scratch
ing. These excursionists have no
doubt enjoyed their diversions, but
when they come 10 reckon the net
result, they may conclude they have
thrown themselves away.
And besides they we're Republican
discontents which took occasion.
The Republican party has been VIC
torious so many times shat it has
not bad an opposition strong enough
TO exercise its combative qualities.

Republicans have cared but little for

have freely visited the offense on

style. " was impossible that all
this should not add to the usual
indifference of the off.year.
The result should be taken "a a
notice to Congress and the admins
tralion that the lack { / healthy op.
position does not suspend the activ-

that il is quite AS severe a judge Of

But it is no sign that the Republican
party has any disposition To give
way to the Democratic. We doubt
if any rational man will suppose
that The result this year is any sign
that the Democratic party will carry
the next election in this State. A
Democratic success is invariably the
end of extra parties of all sorts.
