The Republicans in Ohio are having trouble
with their negro supporters. The latter are
demanding recognition and threatening to
bolt unless they receive it. To satisfy the
Cincinnati negroes a negro was nominated for
the Legislature in that city, but taken down q
few days afterward because it was feared that
ne would iDjure tho ticket. Another negro
who Is q candidate for Representative ir the
Republican stronghold Of Cleveland, has been
requested to resign his present position, that
OF justice OF the peace, il he wishes to run for
representative, and fears to do 50, lest he
might meet with the same fate as his Cinctn-
natl brother. In Columbus tho same ques-
ton has broken out the negroes demanding
two places on the police because their vote
enabled the Republicans to carry the city
These two positions were granted them, but
the appointments produced such dissatisfac-
ton in the white rank and file OF tho Rcpubli-
can party that they had to be reconsidered
and the two unfortunate negro policemen
were dismissed the force.

would have seen that there was no necessity
for including them In the provision of the con-
stitution and, therefore. no discrimination iii
leaving them out of It. But had Mr.. Emer-
con Bentley been aware Of these facts his
column of eloquence would have been lost to
the world. We suppose he would hardly re-
gard It az the fair and reasonable thing to ap-
ply his invective to the Federal government
for combining It's gratuity to the Union col
diers. thus making an "odious and ungrace-
fuf' discrimination against the gallant old
Contederates. The effect of the provision ID
simply to impose upon the State the duty OF
cong Tor the Confederates what the Federal
government does for the soldiers of the Union.

Thea seems to be some difference OF opin-
Ion between the National Board of Health and
the treasury officials concerning the fund OF
$500, 1900 appropriated by Congress- The First
Controller of the Treasury is of the opinion
that 1t may be drawn upon for the support Of
the poor In camp at Memphis, whenever In
the judgment Of the National Board of
Health, the necessity arises for such requi-
sitlon This seems to be the proper view, but
1t Is not shared by DR.. Billings, who repre-
sented the national board mt the conference ut
Mckenzie on Saturday last. This of1iea in
sisted that the board was only au-
thorized to provide for sanitary meas
ures. and was not authorized to pur-
chase rations. 1t is to be hoped that the
Controllers view will be sustained, and that
the board will not hesitate to draw upon the
treasury for money sufficient to provide the
r@R ssary supplies Of food to the poor in
Camp Father Matthew. If the money cannot
be used toprevent the starvation of refugees
tie benefits to be derived from the appropria-
ton will fell far short of those evidently in
tended to be conveyed.

THE TIMES AUT0GRAPHIO SKETCH.

! The Times reduces It's ideas OF machine
politics into q very narrow compass. II Ia
not opposed to party organization or the
methods pursued by political parties to carry
elections. when those methods are legitimate
| and honest. What it objects to are trading
politicians. who stuff ballot-boxes and ma
nipulate election returns SO as to defraud the
people and run in their own party
These are mere glittering generaIities, in
which all will unite and everybody approve.
It is id their application that we are inte-
| rested. Where does that lie2 To what class
Of politicians, now engaged in active politics,
does the Times refer? Let them be pointed
out and we will join in their denunciation.
There Is an old Latin proverb, dolus in ge,a-
erdibMs, which applies to all such sweeping
objurgations Of invisible and mystical polti-
cal tricksters. Our people are too practical
to be satisfied with any such vague and ire
sponsble modes Of assaIing and pursuing so
despicable and criminal O class as that de-
scribed by the Tines
Not very long time ago there would have
been no difficulty in naming and Identifying
these offensive and demorazing characters
who made byword of reproach and scorn of
.No'A'o 'e1atA
made the State of Louisiana, her politics and
her public officers stencil in the nostrils of
all honest and decent people throughout the
civilized world. A politician and public
official was then but another word for a cor
rupttoniBt, a venaIist, a ballotbox suffer,
purloiner and manipulation of election certifi-
Gates. They were of the class Of politicians
among whom the proprietor and chief Of the
consociationists OF the Times were sons OF
Anak, like Saul, standing head and shoulders
above their fellows.
The Times picture Of their rascalites Is q
faithful and graphic one, an autobiographic
sketch, drawn in strong colors from real life.
There is not lineament of the vile features
OF this revolving monster, who SO long OBJ
pressed and disgraced our State, which the
Times has missed. Indeed, like Pygmalion.
the Times has manifested an ardent. a pas-
sionate love for the creation of it's art It
writes with the fire Of an enamored deyotee

1.-THE sending of any more Southern A.
groes to Kansas at present will not only be 0
cruelty to them. but q grevous burden to the
white community" says Gov. st. John. The
man who now utters this sentiment was one
of the loudest advocates OF the exodus, and
his encouragement probably did as much as
all things else to promote It. His sudden
conversion to the opposite view is a most
eloquent argument against the whole move
ment. 1t was founded In fraud, and the folly
Of the victims has resulted In much suffering.
All the facts 90 to show that Gov. st. John
only tells the truth when he says that the
sending Of any more negroes to Kansas will
be cruelty to them

1t Is said that a full account Of the Springer
Interview with Tilden has not yet been made
public and that whereas Tiden's portion Of
1t has been given, Springer's conversation has
been completely Ignored. Springer, the New
HernG declares, called on Tilden to lay be-
fore him the views Of the Western Democrats
as TO the manner in which the Tilden cam
paign should be- conducted. He laid down
the dogma that New York must be carried by
the Democrats this fall. There was he de-
clared, no possible way Of getting around this
difficulty. Ii the Democrats lost New York
Iilden's hopes for tho presidential nomina-
tion were completely gone, and a Western
man would certainly get 1t. This informa-
ton was confided to n number Of Tilden's
friends ut the same time, and, It Is said,
created profound sensation. Til1en and his
friends declared that they would hearken TO
this advice, and gave notice that they would
do all In their power to reconcile the differ
ences In the Democratic ranks In New York
so as to make success certain.

We desire to say to our esteemed contem-
porary. the Jersey City Herald, that the
crediting Of an article In It's last Issue to the
New Orleans Times which originally appeared
In the DEMOCRAT as an editorial is not ex-
actly the fair thing. The Herald will remem-
Der that while nearly all its editorial matter
Tor the past two years has been taken from
the DEMOCRAT without any credit, we have
never complained. In fact we looked upon
the rlfering with much satisfaction, and as
an evidence of the Heralds discriminating
Judgment and good taste. Nor would we OBJ
lect now II the article alluded to had been
transferred to Its columns and had appeared
therein as original matter, as SO many more
oil the DEMOCRATS editorials have done. IT Ia
70 be hoped that when the Herald desires to
give credit for one Of our articles ia future II
will see that 1t is given to the DEMOCRAT.
we wish 1t TO be understood, however that
there Is no objection to its continuing Co draw
on these columns literally in the future as in
the past for the benefit Of Its readers with Or

tested fidelity to duty of consistent and moral
conduct. who are not attracted to engage In

litical writer once expressed regret that a
corrupt minister should retire before his
morals had ripened to that maturity Of cor
ruption at which the worst examples cease to
be contagious. No such regret can be ex-
pressed relative to the owner, manager and
editor n-chief of the New Orleans Times.
His Ideas have ripened under the hot and To-
menting influences of Louisiana Radicalism,
and we scarcely think that his counsel or
commands will In any manner control o peo
pie whom he has helped to impoverish and
whom he has so vilely denounced.
