THE belief is common among the
, uninformed, that the Democrats oi
Ohio have made large gains in the
last few years. Democratic poll
ticiaRs seek to extend this belief
Nevertheless the assumption is alto
gether false. Take the figures In
1872 the democrats of Ohio cast 244,-
321 votes for Greeley, their eandi-
date for President, and yet the Re
publicans gave Gen. Grant 1881
majority. In 1878 Allen, for Gov
erpor, received, but 2l4,654, 29,667
less than Greeley received the year
previous, and yet Allen was elected.
This shows that there is no demo
cratic increase; that the Republican
voters still outnumber the democrats
in the State, and that all that is need
ed to insure the election of Gen.
Hayes is full Republican vote. A
full vote, therefore, is what Republi-
cans should work for.

The late heavy rain made it too wet
for farming operations the past week.
Corn and potatoes are growing very
fast, and look promising. The green
squirrels (weeds) are making their ap-

make an advance movement, principally
armed with plows and hoes, and with
favorable weather will soon eXtermin-

The Bulletin does not make the
charge direct, but intimates in that
sneaking sort Of style characteristic
of its life and being, that Gen.
Hayes was nominated by the enemies
of free schools! The writer must
consider his readers TO be fools and
idiots. So absurd and false appears
the intimatiOu, that we have heard
even school children speak of its low

truth only make more apparent the
desperate straits to which the Demo
cratic party is reduced.

Schools and Teachers.

1t is said that a number of years
since, a wealthy Southern planter call
ed at farm house in central Illinois to
obtain lodging for the night. During
the evening the conversation turned
upon the relative worth of the North
and South. After talking some time,
said the planter: ''The glory OF the
South is her slaves;" and. responded the
farmer: "The glory of the North IS
her public schools"
The glory of the South has passed
away; but the glory of the North re-
mains; and all over our fair country,

moment we cease to advance, we go
back" and, unless we put forth our
strongest efforts to make our schools
more efficient than ever, they will sure
ly soon grow worse. The question
then comes to US, what do we most
need to do this? The answer undoubt-
edly is-Teachers. When we say
"teachers," we mean it in the fullest
sense. 1t is evident that the failure OF
our schools to come up to that high
standard which we are desirOus they
should reach, is due in almost every in
stance to the inefficiency of these social
| ed teachers. The installation of so
many ignorant persons as teachers mas
brought our common schools lhto

we must, as teachers, embrace every op-

intend to teach only for short time be
honorable enough to try to do good
while you do teach. We have host OF
efficient teachers who are now DONG

and every true teacher will.

which we, As Americans, are so proud.
Let us look to it, then, that we first

We knew Gen. Sam. Cary to be a
demagogue, but just now he appears
in a new role. Certain parties in
Cincinnati have sued hin for fraud.
Tt appears that the General went to
Colorado, as agent or trustee, to buy
a Silver Mine. He bought the mine.
representing to the parties for whom
he acted, his i'm mediate neighbors
and friends, that its cost was $4S, 900.
The money was paid accordingly.
1t has since become known, say his
partners, that the entire sum paid for
the mine was $2a, 900 only, and Cary
is charged with fraudulently dividing
the remainder. viz: $2G, ,ee9} be-
tween himself and his associates OIL
confederates. The suit is brought to
make him disgorge.
Notwithstanding this astounding
development of total depravity, the
Democratic Convention at Columbus,
on Thursday nominated this self
same Gen. Cary for Lieut. Governor

THE democratic papers talk of the
''immense popularity" of Gov. Allen.
If it be so. figures lie. Allen, in 1873,
received 2l4,6 ,654 votes, while in 1871
the democratic vote for Governor was
2lS,l05. In 1874 the democratic
vote reached 238,496. Thus the
figures prove that Allen is the most
unpopular man the democrats have
voted for for years, in truth since
1867. 1t is well enough to be cor
rectly informed in regard to these

The Bitter Partisan.

Col. VANCE, of our city, was made
temporary chairman of the demo
cratic state Convention. He read
a speech. 1t was bitterly partisan
the Republicans were all corrupt
and there was no virtue in the coun-
try except in democratic hearts. We
make the following extract, that he
publicans may fully understand the
spirit of the man:
The party in power Is rotten to the
core, unblushing corruption stalks un-
checked through every department of
the public service; frauds so gigantic
that as yet their existence is doubted,
simply because honest men can not con-
ceive of such stupendous rascality,
have been committed by high officials
of the government, some of whom are
yet retained i'm Office. While our civil
service is a national disgrace, our for
eign policy is contemplate and pusilani-
nous. From the Department of State
at Washington to the remOtest revenue
Office in our broad domain, private, per-
sonsl and corrupt practices have become
the order of the day. The administra-
tion of public affairs, instead of being
managed in the interest of economy and
honesty, has degenerated into a system
of pecalatiOn to enrich those who are
intrusted with the disbursement of the
public funds. The henchmen of the
Republican party, wherever they hold
office, seem to have read the hand-wri-
ting on the wall, and the haste they ex-
hibit in enfiehing themselves, without
regard to the chance of exposure and
the discredit they bring on their party,
shows that the most interested adhe-
reffs of the administration know that
ifr& short time their iesse Of power arrtt
opportunities for fraud will pass away
ereyeri
The man who made these severe
and unwarrantable charges, had not
a word to say against the late demo
cratic Legislature, which excused
members from censure after it was
proven that they had sold their votes
for 800 each! Where is the virtue
in such a case?

The platform of the Ohio democ-
racy is a marvellous production.
Take a specimen. 1t pronounces
against a division of the school
fund, and in the same breath de-
nounccs the Republican platform for
doing the same thing, characterizing
it '.as an insult to the intelligence OF
the people" The latter nullifies the
former, and makes the whole thing
supremely ridiculous and nonsensi-
cal. It is a cheat.
