of the most glorious political victories
ever won since Gov. Wise throttled

Next to that political hcrcsy, was the
bold announcement made of commu'

bearer for Governor, Judge West. He
proclaimed this infamous doctrine from

Thousands of his party friends refused
to vote for him, and he is now the

over this victory Ohio is Hayes own
State, which he carried last year by
1916. There, also, resides Jno. Sher.

both stumped the State. There, too,
is the home of the General of the

"An ounce of principle is worth u ton
OF emotion. Ifa proper sense of right
and wrong shall once more prevail, and
a spirit Of justice once more regulate
the acts OF legislators and officers, the
result will be. worth moro than any
amount Of mere senlimcntality. The
President began his administration
with an act of long neglected Justice
he took the coarse, rough, ruthless
paws of the Army away from the
throats OF our Southern people, and for
that we applaud him. He there struck
chord which has sounded no uncer.
tain note. This is an example for the
thoughtful consideration of politicians

result in permanent peace and harmony through

that might be expected to come from
such enthusiastic leaders, especially
the humanity and patriotism" portion
so centrally thrown in, as to make
the thing jingle forth in humanitarian
tone. The other side of this Hayes
case is represented by the Pittsburg

organ, and an article, which we clT
