The Ohio Editorial Convention met at
Cincinnati last week. Some 125 of the
etitors have gone west, and will be absent
two or three weeks. Whitelaw Reid, ed
itor of the N. Y Tribune, made the an
nual address. He said many truthful
things, and among others these:
All successful newspaper conduct
points to the necessity of an absolute
autocracy, with the autocrat in the Edit
ors chair Of all the puerife
follies that have masqueraded before
High Heaven in the guise of reform, the
most childish has been the idea that the
editor could vindicate his independence
only by setting on the fence and throw
ing stones with impartial vigor alike at
friend and foe X x X It is not true
that the ability of the Press is declining.
The papers of the country are better
written now than they ever were before
They are better edited. Their average
courtesy is greater; their average moral
ality is purer; their average tendency is
higher. They better hit the wants of
great, miscellaneous communities, and
so they have more readers in proportion
to population. Their power may be more
diffused but it is unmistakably greater.
There has been no more remarkable phe
nomenon in the history of the profess
ion than the rapid growth of the country
press. and its increase in ability, in re-
sources, in self-respect and in influence.

pents. sees things clear enough before the
ides of October come to vote the Repub-

But, bro Mackley, how about that bloody
shirt? Don't you think Ewing and Rice
ought to firt it in Fosters face this time?
Be cool and considerate. and spend much
of your time in your Republican closet,
and pray long and loud to your God of
War, for advice and consolation, and you
will be all right shortly. Brown Coun
ty News.
Democratic papers have much of that
kind of stuff now, about their Democratic
soldiers on their State ticket. 1t is the
most disgusting thing we ever saw. Let
us examine this matter little. Rice lost
his leg in the Union army and he is a
Democrat, and the fact that he SO lost his
leg is held up as emitting him to votes.
| Suppose Rice had been in the habit of
stealing his neighbor's chickens, and his
neighbor had set a steel trap for him,
and his leg had been SO badly injured by
the trap as to require amputation to save
his life. Would you hold up the Grip
pied chicken thief as suitable man for
Democrats to vote for because he had lost
his leg in steel trap when stealing his
neigh boris chickens?
If the Democratic party is correct then
Rice was thousand times meaner than
a chicken thief when he went into the
Union army. If the Democracy was cor.
rect all through the war, and ever since
the war, then every Union soldier was
not only a thief, robber and murderer
but traitor to the constitution and
Government of his country. The South
ern soldier who shot off the leg of Rice
| Gf Democracy is not one big lie,) was a
patriot, defending his home, his property,
his family, his government, against
thieves, robbers, murderers and traitors.
The union soldiers should all be fined
for theft, sent to the penitentiary for rob-
berry, hung for murder, or shot for treas
on, or Democracy is a huge lie.
We hope to give you enough of this
soldier sham about your ticket before the
campaign shall have ended.

There will probably be good deal of
blowing, during the coming canvass,
about Rice's connection with the Arrears
of Pension Bill. Gen. Boynton, Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, has taken pains to look the mat
ter up. and he finds that the only Pension
Bill Gen. Rice advocated, was one open
ing the way for pensioning the rebel sold
iers, and that he actually opposed the
Bill as passed

We wish to call attention to a short
article in the Standard this week, taken
from the Newark American. There is
one point in it about which we have
thought several times. That is, that we
never had any personal objection to
Charles Foster We believe no man or
newspaper has ever accused him of i'm
morality, or want of personal purity, or
personal honesty, or personal ability. He
needs no defense on these grounds
