TDE election for Governor OF

culations and planning LOT the
Seeming campaign" By rea-
son Of The arbitrary and unrea.
sonabie times fixed for electing
officers, national, state, county
and municipal, the people are
In a constant political broil.
We have never had a campaign
but we are constantly prepar.
ing Tor one. By the time those
philosophers, who before the
election were prophets, have
analysed the results Of the late
election and fully discussed
their probable effect on future
elections, the "sprlng election"
will draw near and that being
over il will be time to cast
about for suitable "timber' for
the "coming fall campaign"
If there are any reforms to be
made by our Constitutional
Convention, surely there lie
plenty of room in the matter OF
the times of holding elections.
A vast amount of time, in the
aggregate to individuals, and
expense to the counties and
State might be saved.
If there is any reason or me-
cessity for holding more than
one election every two years,
in the State OF Ohio, we will be
glad to be enlightened. There
Is no reason why the people OF
Ohio might not meet once In
two years and select all officers
with a few exceptions from
governor to road supervisors.
W. do not mean that all Off.
GERS should be elected for the
term of two years, but that the
official terms can be so arrang
ed that an election oftener than
two years will be unnecessary
In this State officers are elect
ed for the terms Of one, two,
three and five years.
Township and municipal
elections are held on the LIST
Monday Of prll each year and
all tow nship and municipal
officers are elected for one year
with the exception of Justices
of the Peace, who are elected
for three years. We suppose
those officers would be as faith
full in the discharge OF their d.
ties if they were elected on the
second Tuesday Of October and
tor the term of two years.
This would do away with the
spring elections and by length.
ening the terms of certain coun-
ty officers and Justices Of the
the Peace from three to four
years, or shortening them to
two years, another difficulty
can be surmounted. The same
rule will apply to judges, and
their terms can be made tour
or six years.
In case of vacancy. by
death, resignation or otherwise,
the appointing power may be
lodged where It will be used
10 the interests OF The people
and those farcial things called
Especial elections" done away
with, provided the appoint,
ments be made for the unex,
pred portions Of the terms Of
offices vacated. This with the
proposed change in the time
and manner of eiecting Presl-
dents, would make a general
election" I'm the true sense OF
the words every two years, on
the I'd Tuesday of October.
There are undoubtedly objec
t,ons against this plan. Our
thoughts on the subject are
crude and hasty, and IS such
we present them to our readers
But we can not think, but that
a year of a political calm, when
the people would be free from
the bitterness and mallgnSncy
OF party spirit would be hailed
with delight, and that such I'D
event would develop wider and

TURN, MERRITT, TURN

II the State Register could IN any
possible manner break away from de-
votion to the monopolist influence, We
heartily wish it would. OF late that pa.
per has, il we comprehend its position,
drifted into the channel in which the
Journal has been floating for some
months channel cut out by the rail
road rings Of the capital. In fact, on the
railroad question, the Register echoes
the journal, and the Journal repeats
the lamentations of the Register. We
know the difficulties surrounding both the
papers al Springfield. The pressure
brought to bear on them is great But
nevertheless, the Register ought to be
| wise unto its own interest. The journal
having became the organ Of the corpora
zionist and spoogist of the salary and all
the other congressional steals and villain
les, is injuring the Republican party, but
the Register by permitting tender feel
} ing for certain monopoly Democrats and
} Liberal Republicans of Springfield to
irsg it into advocacy of monopoly men
! and measures is not doing the opposition
s any good whatever, but on the contrary
{ positive harm.
u The Register has gone so far after the
: journal it not only weeps over the
fall Of Judge Lawrence, but regard-
y the insulting threat of the other supre m,
judges to resign because the people Of tbs
Fifth district dared to elect Judge Crail
when they desired Judge Lawrence TO

Al of this nature says the Register, "woui,
