The devil possesses her soul in the night.

Charles Foster attended the Republican coun-
ty convention at Columbus August Ist, and
made short speech. The following is a syn
opsis of his remarks:
Mr. Foster, after a few opening re-
marks, went into the matter of his
speech, as he had but little time,
being obliged to leave on the o'clock
train for Portsmouth. He said Gen.
Ewing made great claims to being the
friend of the laboring men. They
keep that point prominent. | want
to look into this. | want to ask my
Democratic friends what particular
thing Gen. Ewing or the Democratic
party have ever done for the interests
Of the laboring men. The Republi-
cans look after the interests of no one
class above another By honest toll
IS the only way to get an honest liv-
ing. In Ohio if the workingman is
honest, industrious and is economical,
he can not only get living, but lay
up money. have no patience with
the demagogues about the working
men, and | look upon that kind of
talk as little better than a crime. The
Oldest law is, that by the sweat Of thy
brow shalt thou eat bread That law
can not be repealed. We try in the
Republican party to protect the inter
ests of all laboring men without re-
gard to class. We passed the home
stead bill. Without protection we
would not witness these great indus
tries all over the land. Without the
Republican protective legislation
these industries could not flourish. In
Congress we were besieged from all
quarters to let the tariff business
alone The business would have to
close, and the mines would be empty.
Ewing and Rice both voted for the
Wood tariff bill, and now is it with
good grace that they come before the
people as the friends of the laboring
men?
The issues of the campaign are
clearly defined. Now | happen to be

Of Cancellation. But | have had all |
want of that. Applause. | have
been disappointed We have tried
these Southern gentlemen thoroughly
by cOnclllatlOn. and 1t won do, L am
free to say They have been trying
to repeal laws that have stood for one
hundred years. For what reason
The reason given by these gentlemen
from the South is that Congress has
no right to go into State to protect
the ballot-box. Ewing and Others
seem to think that troops at the polls
are a very dangerous thing. The law
of preserving the peace at the polls
is as old as George Washington. 1t is
the law by which the whisky rebellion
was put down, the Burr rebellion put
down and the rebellion put down by
honest old Abe Liucoln. Tremendous
applause.
The law providing for Supervisor
is of late origin, and was made afte
it was shown that the whole State O
New York was turned by repeating
and frauds. The last election in Gin

political purposes without regard to
constitutional restriction, every hon.
orable Republican, knowing that no
such assertion has been made, but on
the contrary that it has been expressly
disclaimed by the Republican Execu-
tive, remembers with profound con-
tempt that the Pennsylvania Democ-
racy, with uncomplaining composure,
saw the Union attacked by armies of
the States, and for all the opposition
offered by the Democracy, the States
might have destroyed the Union and
welcome. We do not think that Sem
ator Hill or Mr.. Alexander H. Ste
phens wishes to renew the struggle
for the Confederacy, nor to re-estab-
llsh slavery. But we regard their
views of the nature Of this govern
ment as essentially wrong, and we do
not believe that party Of which they
are representative leaders, would
strengthen the constitutional guaran-
tees of liberty. The tendency of their
political school is to state isolation,
which is hostile to national feeling,
and therefore prejudicial to the COM
mon welfare.
The Republican party maintains
or, If it does not, Harper's Weekly
maintains-that the government of
the United States deals as directly
with citizens as that of any State, and
must enforce its legitimate authority
without invitation or permission of
anything but the Constitution and the
laws Of the United States. Of course
the nature and extent of that legiti-
mate authority is the very point of
the debate. In the present contro-
versy the question is whether elections
for members of Congress ought to be
left wholly to the States, or whether
it is desirable, upon the highest
grounds of public welfare, that the
United States should exercise some
of them. Are they suf-
guarded by the constitutional
provision that each house shall be the
judges of the election of it's own
members? This is fair question.
But it has been argued by the Demo-
Gratis in Congress upon grounds which
involve the traditional Democratic
heresy of extreme State rights which
was made the plea for civil war, and
it is those grounds, not the fact of
The question, that we challenge. Un-
loubtedly, as the Constitution did not
settle the line between State and Ma
jional authority, it must continue to
be a question for discussion. Every
nan must get all the light upon it |
hat he can. But the question is now
with view to party ascend
.ncy, and a party which has been so
wrong upon the general |
subject as the Democratic ought to
nave as poor a standing in the court |
IF public opinion as British Jingoism
1pon question of British interests"
It is not State rights, it is the theory
# State rights which the controlling
power of the Democratic party tried
% put into practice, which the war,
We hope, killed. And we propose to
,oint out that as the cry of State
lights was raised formerly by Demo-
rats to make slavery secure and Sc
ession practicable, it is raised by
hem now when notoriously guilty of
'iolence and fraud at elections, and
When their success would make such
raud and violence easier.

Mexican Newspapers.

A small daily sheet called newspaper IL
Mexico costs $12 year. The paper is
about the size of theater programme,
and there is no mad struggle for news to
fill its columns. If they get the murder ur
in the Twenty-sixth Ward week after Its
occurrence they think they do pretty well,
and then as a general thing the murderer
has to call around and write it up himself
The morning papers are promptly deliver
ed at s O'Clock, but the editors or printers
don't lose any sleep on that account. The
paper for next morning is all printed and
ready for delivery before o'clock the
evening before, and then the editorial staff
and two printers, two men as general
thing, go happy. Sometimes one man is
editor, compositor, proofreader,, printer,
mailer-in fact, the whole establishment.
He lives in his printing Office, generally in
the upper story, while the press is down
stairs. Some of the large papers, that rule
the country as it were, have as many as
three men on the staff, and one printer
with several type settlers. A small engine
runs press that will print about 400 pa
pers an hour They consider this big
thing in Mexico, and point with wonder at
the gigantic enterprise of the company
that has a steam press. A paper of this
kind sometimes gets an item of news as
soon as three days after it happens, and III
other ways shows extraordinary energy.
AS only about one in ten persons can read
in Mexico the newspaper business is not
one in which monstrous fortunes are &C
cumdlated in few years.
