scene occurred on the floor of the Mer-
chants Exchange yesterday. The Repub-
lican party, having majority in the Cham
ber, has been in the habit of regularly ad-
iourning the Chamber over election days,
in order that its members may have full
opportunity to be in attendance at the
polls in the capacity of Deputy Marshals,
or for such other work as they may see fit.
Yesterday the business men of the Cham
Der, who recognize the necessity for keep
ing such organizations free from politics,
attempted to defeat the regularly recurring
effort for All adjournment. but by force of
numbers and noise were defeated, and the
great commercial organization of Cincin-
natl and the Ohio Valley was prosti-
tuted to political purpose
The ENQUIRER says of the Seitz Law: This
forbids candidate for office to loan or
give, or offer to give, directly any money or
other valuable thing to an elector for the
purpose of retaining or influencing his
vote Hospitality at the residence of the
candidate is the only thing exempted from
these provisions, and the penalty for the
offense may be fine of 81, 900 and imprs-
onment in the Penitehtiary three years. 1t
forbids employees of laborers, or agents of
such employers, to withhold or reduce
wages or to dismiss from service, or to al
low necessary time to employees to attend
election and vote. or do any similar thing
to influence or prevent voters. Employers
who thus attempt to intimidate voters are
to be deemed guilty of felony, and are in
danger of three years in the Penitentiary.-
The Enquirer says: A lively storm to-day
would be of great benefit to the community
in several ways. 1t would contribute to a
"coal-boat rise' and keep away from the
polls a great many Republicans who wear
patent leather boots.
The Commercial says: Two nests of re-
peaters were discovered last night by the
Republicans who were on the still hunt.
The one that swarmed the loudest was on
Central avenue, above Fourth. The crowd
there were in busters and slouch hats, and
were slowed away for the night. Another
populous place, apparently recruited from
Fourth. Each candidate has, under the
statute, the right to have two persons pres
ent to witness the count of the ballots The
count should be watched, and the watchers
should not permit themselves to be intimi-
portance that the counting of the ballots

The Gazette speaking of the decision of
Judge Smith Yesterday, dismissing the case
of Weber against Gov. Bishop and Police
Commissioners Dorsch and Sutton. saws:
If this be law, it is law that fails to pro-
tect citizens and public officers from op-
preston and outrage. But if it be law.
there is lust cause of its application, and it
will not be long deferred by the Governors
completely in the methods of the Demo
cratic ring to seize the c ntrol of the Police
Board Sutton and Dorsch have absented
themselves from every meeting of the
Police Board for month. Yesterday they
were absent again-that is to say, they did
not attend the meeting, although they were
around Weber and Setchel were there,
as they have been at every time fol
meeting. This unquestionably is official
misconduct 1t is aggravated by the various
evidences of purpose in this, and a bad
purpose. This offense will not be outlawed
by the lapse of two and a-half months B,
that time there will be a Governor who i.
not in the ring to try real charges, and Sut
ton and Dorsch will have to toe the mari
on charges which no man can defend. The
time of these worthless is short.-Tht
Gazette says of the proposed constitutions
amendment: The first is to authorize thu
election of twenty seven additional Judges
in State which already has more judge
than administer the law in England which
does twice as much business as all the
