The Commercial quotes the New York
Times on the Silver question, and saws: The
general incapability of Eastern newspapers
on the Silver question is, we suppose, some
excuse for the remarkable lack OF common
understanding of the subject by the New
York Times. Prince Bismarck has had the
courage to retrace false step. The Times
seems to think the fact that Germany,
which last year refused to have anything to
do with an International Silver Conference
this year would take a leading part in
one, is of no significance. We are lin

The Gazette says: The Democrat ring are
now trying to secure by indirection what
they failed to obtain last winter from the
Legislature, viz: the reorganization and
dem oralization of the police force of Gin
cinnati. This is the purpose of the charges
printed in another place, trumped up by
Sutton and Dorsch, the two Democratic
members of the Board of Police Commits
sioners, against Colonel Weber, one of the
Republican members. Since the removal of
P. ]. Hogan by Governor Bishop,
there has been vacancy in the
Board which has not been filled,
because the Democratic members re-
fused to vote for candidates not dictated
by the ring, while the Republican men,
bers manifested a readiness to vote for rep,
utable Democrats Mr.. Sutton got ex-
cited because Colonel Weber persisted in
reading the names of Democrats that the
Republican members stood. ready to vote
for. The Republican members had voted
to 60 into an election, while the Democrats
voted nay. There was consequently, a
deadlock, and no business was being tran
sacted. 1t is upon this occurrence that
Sutton and Dorsch have preferred
charges of disorderly conduct and
drunkenness against Colonel Weber,
and upon which he has been cited
to appear before the Governor on Satur-
day next. The charges are absurd. Col.
Weber is not a drunkard nor disorderly.
He is not that kind of a man. But the
ring assume that any charge is good enough,
and that Gov. Bishop will play Dogberry
again and find Weber guilty. Weber out,
the Board would stand two Democrats to
one Republican. The ring would then fill
the vacancies, and the police force would
be in complete control of the ring, which
is largely supported by blood money ex-
torted from gamblers and prostitutes. The
immediate object is to use the police force
in the approaching election for the protec-
ton of the ballot-box suffers and repeaters.
With reference to the speech of Senator
Zach Chandler at Toledo, the Gazette says:
Being in town infected by the fiat
money folly, he was requested to speak on
the greenback and the whole money ques-
ton, which he did as one having authority,
as he was at the making of the greenback,
as a war necessity, at the time when Pen
dleton, Thurman, and the rest of the
Democrats who are now for fiat tgreenbacks,
denounced them as unconstitutional and
threatened reputation. Mr.. Chandler
treated this question and the unlimited
silver question in practical way, showing
that all deprecated money robs the work
man."
