o opinions on the New Constitution


The Ohio Democrat will support the
new constitution with the clause in favor
of license, believing il the main that il IS
an improvement on the cd one.
The Shelby County Democrat claims
that the new constitution Is not a Inlit-
ical document, and no political srty
should either advocate or oppose its adop-
ton as q political measure. Let its'and
or fall upon its own merits.
The Carroll Chronicle says that For
License" will carry in Carroll county by
from 600 to 1000. That is strange; but,
If true, there is not a saloon in Carroll
county.
popular opinion, " in the estimation OF
the Defiance Democrat, sis much divided
as to the merits of the new constitution
and, therefore, it does not feel able to
forecast its fate before the people.
The editor of the Cadiz Sentinel vii
vote against the whole new constitu.
ton" for the reason that ut is not as good
as the old one"
The Alliance Sia,day Telegraph don't
think the new constitution deserving OF
any favorable consideration at all, and
hopes ait may be defeated entire"
The Norwalk Reflector says the new
constitution is, in many respects, superiol
to the old, and adds "Al in all, and a
at present advised, we feel inclined to ia
vor it."
The Fremont Messenger says "Th,
cumulative voting system, as adopted b.
the Constitutional Convention, is IN out
rage upon the people of this State. 1t
especially distastefdl to the Democrats
for in the end it would, if its provision
were carried out, give to the party in tn
minority the control Of the Legislature
We do not believe that the Democrat
party desire to see this unfair and unjus
system established in this State"
One Of the ablest Cincinnati lawyer
says that there are several good things /
the new constitution, and some nel0 thJng'
but the nel0 things are not good, and IN
good things are not nel0. Therefore he
opposed to it.

The Boston JeurTa! in speaking of the
Boston school system says:
mo matter how many more studies may
have become fashionable, it is still Just as
indispensable that the three Rs as they
used to be called, should be as thoroughly
drilled into every pupil as ever-while the
want Of this honest culture in a superficial
education affects one like a snowy Man
sard roof on q rickety framework with no
foundation. Now we are afraid, from
what we have heard, that every year pu-
pills of both graduate from u city
schools who can not write three consecu-
tive sentences of good English, who fail
sadly in their spelling, and who can not
carry on the most ordinary arithmetical
operations such as would admit them TO
the lowest position in any well-ordered
counting room"
We heartily welcome every such utter
snce, for q special educational danger il

edge of the few pecessary branches by 8
long array of those not 30 essential to the
absolute duties of life.

AN article in the Washington RepubH-
can in advocacy of a "third term" is caus-
ing comment, from the fact this paper is
supposed in some degree to reflect the
views of the administration. The Spring
field Republican, thus comments on it:
Probably nc intelligent man-certainly
no intelligent Journalist-can be made to
believe that they threw out that suggestion
without knowing perfectly well what they
were about; without the best possible rea-
sons for believing that General Grant
wouldnot be displessed to see it in print.
Hence, with its appearance, the third
term discussion enters a new phase. Hith'
erto it has been speculative; now itbecomes
business" Here is something that comes
as an announcement or feeler, or-still more
likely q mixture Of both. If the pOpu-
lar response is unsatisfactory, nothing il
easier at this stsge than to disavow it
But it can bear but one construction

Foun State Conventions were held 1

-Four State Conventions were held this
week. The Maine Democrats went through
the ceremony Of setting up a candidate for
Governor at Portland on Tuesday. The
New York Prohibitionists held a State
Convention at Auburn on the same day.
The Iowa Anti-M onopolists met at Des
MOines en- Wednesday to nominate candi-
dates for Secretary of State, State Treas

mocracy of Vermont came together at
Montpelier to-day to nominate q mar to

tsrs Of Alabama hold q State Convention
at Montgomery.

ONE of the strongest arguments in favor
of the new Constitution is that "there are
some good points in it." Could it be pos
sible that the Convention could remain in
session a year and a day and draft a Con.
~stitution with no good points in it,
whatever? especially with the good and
noble models they had before them to copy.
and which in language and brevity they
have followed so miserably?
