what the opposition leaders have said, viz:
that it is one thing to invade Afghanistan
ana verv different thing to hold it, and
that England has been forced by this ORR
entail juggler, Disraeli, into a position
where She must either withdraw in disgrace
or go forward in the almost impossible task
of conquering and holding that country.
which to do is only to increase the liability
to a collision with Russia in ASIA.
The Enquirer saws that there need be no
uneasiness touching the completion of the
Democratic Legislative ticket in Hamilton
County, save in Republican quarters. 1t is
proposed to deliberately select these gentle
men tor the express purpose of electing
them.-It alleges that in some of the close
counties the Republicans are making trades
for votes for their nominees for the Legsla-
ture, hoping thereby to obtain control of
the General Assembly and elect Garfield
for United States Senator. Enquirer
claims that the Republican party hopes
to carry all the elections possible prior
to and including the Presidential election
in 1880 by the inordinate use of money. In
Ohio we have law known as the Seitz law,
meant to protect the ballot box. The Re-
publjcans will have an abundance of money
to Use, but this statute will prevent them
from using it. After quoting this law at
length, the Enquirer gives notice that this
law will be vigorously enforced. We pro-
pose to hold an unbought election in Ohio
this year.
The Commercial says that there is wide
spread notion that the great contest next
year will be for the Presidency, but it
claims that the Democratic party intends
to control Congress and count in the Demo-
cratic candidate. The first step will be to
expel Republicans from all contested seats,
so as to give the Confederate Caucus a
working majority, such as will be needed
for their Presidential purpose. 1t de-
clares that the great contest next
year will be for the next House of Repre-
sentatives. The Republicans must make a
special effort to secure the House, so that
the whole machinery of the Government
shall not fall into the hands of the Confed-
crate Caucus.-The Commercial says that
Dennis Kearney Las lost the good will
gained by lis sensible conduct
when the BLACKBOARD Kalloch was
shot by threatening t. burn Grant in effgy
at the Sand Lots on hisarrivalln San Fran
cisco. 1t says: And yet the Grand Army
of the Republic has resolved to fire salute
of one hundred guns upon the arrival of
Grant on the Sand Lots. 1t is certain that
if Mr.. Dennis Kearnev and his crowd do
not back out, there will be on the arrival
If Grant such riot in San Francisco as
never occurred in any American City.-The
Commercial, speaking of the distrust felt
hv the trainers of the Constitution of the
United States against delegating too much
power directly to the people, says that dur
ing the past twenty years Republican ad-

of confidence in the people, especially in
appealing to them for men and
means to put down the most gigantic re-
bplion known in human history, to give
color to any such accusations. Even now
they confidently appeal to the people to
support them in a policy that looks to the
protection of the weakest and humblest
citizens in the full exercise and enjoyment
of their rights, and against party that
proposes by systematic fraud and violence
to deprive them of their rights, and they
do not believe the appeal will be in vain.

A word in favor of children and the poor.
Children who can walk must, like grown
persons, pay % cents for admission to the
Exposition. This is strong tobacco. Ten
cents would be sufficient. The poor must
work every day of the week and at night
are too tired to visit the Exposition. How
would it do If the Commissioners would
keep it open on Sunday? Then the labor
ers would have good opportunity to see
the beauties # the Exposition. Nearly all
places of amusement are open on Sundays,
and WHY can't the Exposition be kept o,en
on that day? What constitutes the differ
ence? Only Pharisees could find it. We
can not.

The campaign this year will not be live
ly one. The fact of its being doubtful is
wantinr Everybody knows what will be
the result.
The next Legislature will, it is hoped
take into consideration the question of re-
organizing our Board of Education.
Gen. Grant will probably arrive Saturday
in San Francisco. The ocean on this occa-
sion will turn back for mile and the
Heavens will let down an extra rain of
shooting stars

The Democrats of Hamilton County have

to fight them any longer.
