Others charge much of the result to the

now rule the Administration. They desire
to keep in harmony with an Administration
which they aided heartily to place in power,
but the strong sense of right--thc love OF
liberty-the traditional aversion TO every
thing like an invasion of the rights OF Citi-
zenship, no matter whether II comes through
organized force or official orlcr-natnThlIy
affects the line of thought and action Of all
peoples, who, like those who inhabit North-
ern Ohio, have sustained the Republican
banner since il was first uniurled on the
Western Reserve. This state of feeling no
doubt, accounts in some degree for the in-
difference that settled upon u large class OF
Republicans of the state OF Ohio. and led
them to withhold their votes IN the late
canvass
Those presses and statesmen who de
clare so vociirrOusly that the policy of the
Administration relating 10 the south and
ciyil-scrvicc reform has not influenced this
disaster. know little or nothing of the 'tcue
inwarlness" OF the Republican rank and
| file throughout the country. y deep feel
ing of dependency began To settle upon
the average Republican mind when these
policies were irSt announced, and it has
grown more and more inteuse rs develop
ments have since unioldcd, until the party
is being rapidly disintegra.cd and stamped
with marks OF decay. We have no idea
that the President intended mischief to the
party when he entered upon this new de
par;urc," but the consequences are to be none
the less dcplorcd on that account.
The two States, Ohio and Iowa. held thciI
elections on the same day. They are both
staunch Republican States, when the people
vote without trammel. IN 1SI6 the former
gave President HAYES 1000 while the lat
ter scored for him 10000 majority. This
year the Republican Convention of Ohio
indorscd the Presidents policy and made il
plank in its platform. while Iowa refused
natly to do 50. As u result, Ohio gives q
Democratic majority of more than twenty
thousand, while Iowa gives n Republican
majority sufficiently decisive to show that
the Republicans Of that State are in hur
mony with their platform.
In these results we find food for ricc
ton, and it is to bc hoped the lesson taught
will he carefully studied by every man, o
high or low degree. who claims allegiance IL
the Republican cause Tha, party may b,
damaged. hut it cannot he destroyed The
people will not permit that, for its prinri
pies sink deep into the Republican heart.

Public school Colleges.

II is now time to start mp some feeling on
this subject. The people are ready to hear
something said about giving our children
higher school education than the present
means of educating affords, Most OF the
large cities have already free colleges. sup
ported by the taxpayers. These colleges
have done good. The results show their
value. The free college of New York city
has given no small number OF eminent men
to the political world, which would not
have been the case if it had not been called
into use.
1t seems pity that boy or girl, having
passed through the elements OF our Ian
pungc, is forced to be content with it, un-
less friends aid to a college education.
There is no reason why We could not have
such college in this city. Big gaudy
buildings are not wanted. The best build-
ing will be the training the youths will get
at the hands Of good professors. The
people will encourage such n move and pay
willingly. The good done will be repaid by
the usefulness with which il will fit It's grad
yates. Schools OF design, in art and all its
branches might also he brought into play
Our great trouble is that we are more
anxious to make big display at the outset
than is needed. Our public school build.
iDgs might be opened for night schools
There are plenty of young people whc
would like TO have the chance of getting in
struction at night We should not hc the
least behind in the day on these matters
There are plenty of smaller cities who %
ahead of us already in the way of cducat.
