The Ohio Election.

General Garfield, who has arrived
in Washington, attributes the defeat
of the Republicans in Ohio to the
Civil Service order, to Judge Vests
mistake in giving encouragement to
Communism, to the Southern policy
and the labor movement. The ma
jority now appears to be between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Some of the most intelligence and
influential Republicans deliberately
rebuked Mr.. West by Withholding
their votes from him. This class felt
rather apathctic before the nominal
tions were made, and after Mr..
Vests speech they became utterly
Indifferent to the result of the State
canvass.
Gen. Garfield estimates that the
WOrkingmen's movement drew
eighty per cent. of its strength from
the Republican party. 1t broke out
in spots like blisters, here and there
and its disastrous effect on the Re-
publican vote was plainly seen wher-
ever it developed itself.
The chief cause of the Republican
defeat, and, as many leading Re-
publicans think, was the Presidents
order to office-holders. 1t greatly
damaged the party organization.
There are nearly two thousand post
masters in Ohio and almost every one
of them had either been a member
of the local committee in his town or
had been accustomed as its factotum,
to distribute documents, etc. All of
the postmasters were annoyed and
dissatisfied at the order, and some of
them were angry.
hostility to the Presidents South
ern policy undoubtedly caused the
loss of thousands of votes, General
Garfield thinks; but he says there
are many Republicans now account
ing for their absence from the polls
by their feeling on this question, who
would have said nothing about it
had the party carried the State.-N

proper limit of our future military
establishment. All this is well and
pithily but as is also the statement
of the exigency which rendered the
extra session necessary, and which
makes prompt action on the part of
Congress equally Imperative, eve
have an army in service authorized
by law and entitled to be paid, but
no funds available for that purpose"
The President also suggests as
deserving the attention of Congress
at the present session the propriety
of making timely and suitable pro-
vision for the adequate representa-
ton of the United States, its varied
products and industries, at the Paris
exhibition next year. He recon-
mends reappropriation of the small
amount appropriation by previous
Congress, but subsequently covered
into the treasury, to defray the ex-
penses of commissioners from this
country to the International Prison
Congress to be held upon the invita-
ton of the Swedish government at
Stockholm next year. These sug-
gestions, with recommendations in
favor of an immediate appropriation
Tor the restoration of the patent Office
and the passage of the naval diff
cheney bills. comprise the whole of
the message. Should other subjects
be taken up by Congress it will there
fore be upon the initiation of that
body. In the Senate the question of
the disputed seats from Louisiana
and South Carolina will undoubtedly
afford food for debate, and once fairly
launched into their business or de-
bate, the House may easily protect
the extra session until the beginning
of the regular session, when the
President will send in his message
covering the reports of the various
heads of departments, which are
required by law to be submitted at
that time Baltimore Sun.

DEFEAT or MUKHTAR PAsHA -
the monotony of the Eastern, war
news, Of late succession. Of Turkish
victories, is broken by the announce
ment from the headquarters of the
Russian army of the Caucasus Of the
defeat Ct Mukhtar' Pasha, with the
loss of many guns and men. The
recent movement Of the Russian
army in Asiatic Turkey have been so
disastrous as to suggest the necessity
of abandoning the campaign for the
winter. Their very successes proved
fruitless, and were followed by re-
treat. The present victory, however
seems, to promise more substantial
results, and the Russian bear is en-
couraged.

1t is remarked of several of STAN
ley's last letters from Africa that
they contain much that is interesting
but no larger amount of accurate i'll
formation. The most important fact
he gives concerning the Congo river
is the discovery of a large tributary
stream, two thousand yards wide at
the mouth, coming into it on the
northerly side in the bend it makes
north of the equator. Stanley con-
fesseS he does not know what river
it is. He remarks great difference
between the African populations of
the East and of the West coast
those of the former region being I'M
der powerful kings, with from three
to five millions of subjects, while
along the Congo river there are, he
says, "as many kings ruling over a
hundred acre plot as there are Off
cials in Greece, all animated by an
intense thirst for trade and dis
tinguished for their idolatry, hostil-
lily to each other and foolish pride"
AS they are all fond of trade and
barter, he is confident that great
field has been opened to commerce,
Withstwo thousand miles of uninter-
rupted river navigation running
through it though not connected with
the ocean on account of the series of
waterfalls in the lower Congo.
Further letters are promised which
will clear up some points now left in
the dark.

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents message is a very
brief document. 1t deals only with
such matters as in the Presidents
Judgment required immediate action
at the hands of Congress, and touches
upon no topic which is calculated to
excite debate. Even with reference
to the mooted question of increasing
or decreasing the army the President
recommends that its consideration
should be deferred until after the
needed deficiency bill has been
passed, and provision made for the
support of the army for the current
year at the maximum strength of
5000 men. In the event of subse-
gent reduction Of the army the excess
of the appropriation could not be ex-
pended, and if one the other hand
the army should be increased the
additional appropriation required
could be voted in due time. 1t would
be unjust to the troops now in service
and whose pay is largely in arrears
ifpayment to them should be delayed

General Mcclellan now denies that
he ever killed moth. 1t appears
that he had fairly circumvented the
moth, had laid his parallels up to
within pistol shot of its works. had
thoroughly and closely invested it,
cut off all avenues of retreat or sup
plies, and then, just as he was finally
on the point of winning some of its
most important works, with a view
to following the movement up with
an assault and certain capture, the
provoking moth went and died OF
old age. -

Several Democratic newspapers
hasten to announce the demise of the

to hold the funeral without delay.
1t is easy enough to appoint the
funeral, but it is another thing to
prepare the corpse. The Republican
party is too patriotic to think of
dying so long as the Democracy

Cheap money!
Yes money is too cheap, Messieurs Bank
ers You are the advocates and abettors of
financial policy which has destroyed the
uses for the only money there is-viz the
legal-tenders-or for even your debt certi-
ficates, called national bank notes. You
have influenced all the legislation of the
land to play into the hands of British mag
mates and aristocrats the bankers of Lom-
bard street, and the money sharps of Wall
street. You have sought to increase the
money-buying power of British gold by
shrinking all the values of your own
country, and by the impoverish-
ment of the masses. Your time of
reckoning, however, is close at hand.
Loaded up now with deprecated securities,
your banks have so lost the confidence of the
people that your bank debt certificates will
be powerless to raise values, now that you
have depressed them. Your scoop game of
gathering in all the property of the country
at low prices and then letting out the paper
of your insolvent banks will not work.
You have got to go into liquidation like
every one else who is in debt. The most
that can be done to save you now is the re-
peal of the resumption act, which will stop
the further shrinkage of the securities (?)
with which you are loaded, and save your
customers from bankruptcy. B. BEE.

The Position Indorsed.
To the Editor of the Sentinel:


SIR am glad to see you come out and
define your position on the most important
of all questions to the people, viz. the finan-
cial question. 1t is the duty of newspaper
editors to enlighten the people on matters of
such vital importance. don see why it Is
that every newspaper in the land does not
denounce the Hayes and Sherman suicidal
financial policy when everybody can see
that it is paralyzing business, bankrupting
thousands of honest business men, throwing
millions of men out of employment and
driving thousands to want, beggary and
crime. Laborers, skilled and unskilled
abound. varily seeking to sell their labor to
children. Thousands of millions of capital
invested in coal mines, iron works, factories
and railroads are idle, yielding nothing to
their owners. Every where mortgages are
being forclosed, and the unfortunate debtor
turned adrift, seeks in vain for lodging for
either wife or child. And all this to furnish
few cormorants and idle aristocrats with
and grow fat on the labor of others; our gov
ernment converted. our free money, our
life blood, our tools of trade and production.
into gold interest bearing debt, and sus-
pended it to our necks. BY this we are
stripped of the means of producing wealth;
our property is deprecated in value and
our energies and industries crippled, while
all the profits Of our shops and farms are alb
sorbed in paying interest upon debt created
through treachery and rascality, and not
from necessity. For my part have firmly
resolved to support no newspaper that does
not honestly and earnestly defend the green
back, the peoples money; and If the editors
will come into the country and talk with
the farmers and the people generally, they
will find hundreds of others who have
formed similar resolutions. It's my opinion
that the hard money organs OF the country
will have to change their tactics soon go
to the wall, for il the people find they are
working against their interest they should
not, and will not patronize them
Yours for the right,
