Along the whole coast OF England and Ireland the

Under the management OF the late Admiral Fitz-

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
New York Times

CINCINNATI, Oct. 25.-The question of
the Senatorship, as / have before stated,
is the real motive power of the cam
paign. There are six or eight
leading candidates, and they are all at
work as they never worked in cam
paign before. Nothing is said about the
Senatorial vacancy, but the zeal mani
tested by Stanley Matthews, Judge
Taft, and Gen. Garfield for
the election of Judge West to
the Governorship, or by Gen. Ewing,
George H. Pendleton and Gen. Morgan
for the election Of Mr.. Bishop, is re-
markable. They are willing to speak
every night, to ride to remote places,
and expend their ablest oratorical ef-
forts before sleepy rural gatherings.
Counties that are known to be
close are objects of special So
licitude to these gentlemen. The Sc
ries Of joint debates just entered
upon between Garfield and Pendleton
and Matthews and Ewing is giving the
public an opportunity Of inspecting
the leading candidates in pairs. The
difference between Mr.. Matthews and
Gen. Ewing on most of the points under
discussion is hardly worth speaking of
and yet they are able to talk twelve
columns a day at each other. Gen. Gar
field and Mr.. Pendleton will have the
advantage of differing with each other
on the question of silver coinage. and
their debates will derive additional in
terest from this fact. It does not require
very close observation to see that these
two gentlemen are leading the lists of
Senatorial candidates on their respec-
tive sides.

Is 1T HONEST?

Editor Democrat The police of the city, who
were engaged at the low rate OF $50 per month
with the understanding that they would be
paid in cash, are to-day tr ying to dispose Of
their scrip for last months services, and are
offered sixty cents on the dollar. Out Of this
they will have to pay, during the three
months coming, for their winter uniforms
Although the taxes of 1876 are payable only
in cash, with interest and costs; and though
tens of thousands of dollars of 1876 taxes have
been paid in since the first of the year, the
salaries Of employees Of the city for 1876 re-
main unpaid and their scrip sells at about
thirty three cents.
In the face Of this the city government pays
premiums and interest, on bonds not only
utterly invalid in themselves as against char
ter and contract obligations, but which (many
OF them have been pronounced as uncOnsti-
tutional and illegal in the decision of the
Master in Chancery of the United States
Court.
II there is a single illegal or fraudulent
issue Of city bonds made under the regime Of
WarmOth or West, or under military appoin-
tees, which is not to-day without question:
but few days since it was made matter OF
special glorification and notice, because a
gentleman just from Europe" had funded
$3.50, 900 OF bonds.
The bonds were mainly or all OF them
drainage series, and not only utterly illegal
as violating both the charter of 1852 So and also
that OF 1869, but were issued under the cor
rupt drainage act Of 1871, which was as un-
mitigated steal as was ever compassed by
corrupt legislation.
The money of the taxpayer goes to pay
premiums on injustice and fraud, while the
police and other faithful servants of the city
must accept scrip at the best they can get
for it.
Is this honest?

How the News of the Rochester C0nven-
tion was Received at the Capital.
IN. Y. World,]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The meagre
reports of the Rochester Convention
published here this morning simply in
tensified the desire to see the proceed
ings in full in the New York papers,
which arrived soon after l O'Clock.
Neither the supply of Worlds nor, in
deed, OF any of the New York
papers met the demand. Since the
speeches of Senator Conkling and Mr..
Platt have been read and the platform
digested, the opinion seems to be al
most universal that the temper OF the
convention, as doubly reflected in the
platform, is hopeless and melancholy.
The entire proceedings of the conven-
ton are regarded rs d confession OF de-
feat through the division in the party
over the policy of the National Admin
Republicans here are even more sur
prised at the decentralization which at
tended the convention in the declina-
ton of candidates for Office last
evening, and In the departure of dele.
gates before the nomination to-day and
In the character of the ticket as finally
made up, than in the proceedings
themselves. They were hardly pre-
pared to see an Indifference to an ex-
tent that admitted defeat at the
polls. The members of the Ad-
ministration regard the result quite
philosophically. The President regrets
It, but doubts II the Republican masses
are as divided as are the Republican
politicians and office holders. He be-
lieved the voters would be united in
the party in favor Of the general course
of the Administration towards the
whole country and in it's efforts to re-
store the public service to higher de-
gree of efficiency. The tone. OF Mr.:
Conkling's speech leaves no doubt OF
his position in the Senate, and the pre-
diction is freely made now that he and
Mr.. Blaine will forgive and forget their
old differences and bind up their
wounds for a united opposition,
Secretary Evarts' views on
the convention and it's work we're solicit
ted, but he did not regard them as
necessary for publication. He had al
ways acted, he said, with the Republi-
can party as party since 1t had been
formed, and had never allied himself
with any particular stripe Of the politics
of the party. It was unfortunate, he
thought, that there were differences in
New York Republican politics which
placed the State in an attitude quite at
variance with the harmony in other
States on questions of national interest.
He hoped that these differences would
not affect the people in the casting up
Of the final result.

AS soon as had ascertained the facts set
forth in the foregoing, the subsequent proceed
ings at Rochester interested me no more and
took the train for home at 3: 10 a. n. l did
not care to remain and witness the scalping
of the "Anti-Conkling Republican party"
which has been built up in New York by the
marvellous Civil Service Reform of the Ad
ministratiOn. Having seen it tomahawked,
I was satisfied and had no desire to see the
indignities which knew would be visited up
on the cold corpus in the proceedings of to-
day. On arriving home, I went to the post
office and found the DEMOCRAT of last Sun
day, containing
A DELINEATIoN OF JOHN SHERMAN
in his appropriate character Of MephistO-
pheles. 1t is not my design to criticise that
article. But you will allow me to say that in
bestowing credit upon Sherman for all the
pitiable shams and disgusting frauds which
have marked the first six months OF this
Reform Administration, you do great inius-
tice to two kindred spirits who, If less than
John in magnitude, are certainly his peers in
meanness, as far as they CO. | mean Evarts
and Schurz.
For the present propose to deal only with
Schurz, for the reason that | know him best
and that he has been the buster of the two in
concocting shams. There is probably no man
now in public life so little known, or rather,
so universally misunderstood, as
CARL sCHURz.
He is looked upon by the great mass as a
man of singularly pure and lofty mind,
whose sole weakness is it's tendency to tran
scendentalism, and whose only fault lis that
it is a little too pure and lofty to be effective
in our present political condition. This esti-
mate is ludicrously false and fallacious. I
have known Schurz intimately for some
years. and, until he had betrayed and abused
my confidence in his characteristic manner, l
was his friend. But when found out by ex-
perience that he was

number Of persons, it is said, have re-
