AcoRRRsPoNDRNT of the Cincinnati
commercial, in noticing the late tilt be
tween Hon. Chas. Foster and Hon. Sam.
Randall. the salary grabber," F" in regard
to the reduction of Congressmen's sala-
ries. says: "The sincerity of the dema-
gogues of the House, who are so blatant
in their profession OF zeal for retrench-
ment, was put to the test to-day, when
Mr.. Foster submitted proposition to
reduce Congressmen's salaries to 81, 700,
by applying TO them the rule observed
in reducing the salaries of clerks. Mr..
Randall grew white with rage, and at
tempted the role of a bully, but came off
no better than Ben. Butler, two years
ago, when he suddenly found that he
had no use for Foster, There is great
deal of retrenchment virtue in Congress,
but il is displayed in reducing other
people's salaries"

THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

Returns from all parts of the State in
a nature calculated to encourage Re-
publicans. While in many localities
there was the usual amount of scratch
ing" done, it is very apparent that the
Republicans were out in force, and have
made heavy gains in nearly every local
ity.
The city of Cleveland, for instance, last
Spring the Democracy carried the city
by majority of 2011. Last Monday
the Republicans carried it by a majority
of 1888, gain in one year of 4,S44.-
They elect Is out of is councilmen, and
gain possession of Police and Fire De-
partments, and even carry the Board of
Education, which stands 13 Republicans
TO Democrats.
In Cincinnati the vote was light one,
but the Republicans made fair gains
The Gazette says, ''The Common Codp-
Gil, which was overwhelmingly Demo
cratic, is now very close. The Board of
Alderman stands fourteen Democrats
and eleven Republicans, while the
Council stands twenty-five to twenty
five. The Board of Education is twenty
six Democrats to twentyfour Republi-
cans. These are marked gains, and we
feel warranted in saying that the city,
on full and square vote, is 8, 000 Re-
publican. Last spring Mr.. Johnston,
the Democratic Mayor. was elected by
5000 majority"
In Toledo the Republican ticket was
elected by majorities ranging from 800
to 800. The Board of Aldermen will
now be tie, and there will be ten Re
pubIicans in the Couucil to six Demo
Gratis.
Even Columbus, that stronghold OF
-fsenssssasy,cap now boast of a Repub-
iican Council for the first time in her
history, and two Republicans on the
City ticket were elected by from 200 to
400 majority.
Republican gains are tile order of the
day throughout the State, and Republi
cans are everywhere iubilant- Ohio
will give 25, 900 majority for the ticket
which this week is found at the head of
our paper

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The bold and uncompromising stand
taken by Geo. VIM. Curtis, in opposi-
ton to instructing the New York dele
CATION for Conkling, meets with the
heartiest approval of the best Republi
cans of New York. 1t is evident that
Conkling did not fall into the hands of
the best class. and that fact has turned

who are most fully the product of the

But this we can do; we can give the
