Foster and a Wounded Soldier.

The Fostoria RevieU last week in
commenting upon the removal of
Captain Blackboard, q Republican
soldier, as Captain of the Capitol
Police at Washington and the APP
pointment of a Democratic soldier
in his place, says:
Perhaps Mr.. Ewing, when he takes
the stump, will explain to the SOL
diers whose votes he asks on the
ground that he was a Union Gener-
al, why he thus aided to deprive a
wounded soldier of employment.
One soldier is AS good as another,
and MI. Ewing believed no doubt
that Captain Hackford had held the
Office long enough and favored re-
placing him with another soldier.
Now will the RevieW please explain
why Mr.. Foster refused to appoint
William Smythe, a wounded and
crippled soldier, to the Postofice in
this city when he applied for the re-
appointment to that position? And
also why he preferred to appoint a
man who never did a days service
in the army. Mr.. Smythe has since
died of his wounds, but Mr.. Foster
has continued to reappoint his first
appointee. Why didn't he give sol
diers these positions? perhaps Mr.
Foster, when he takes the stump viii
explain to the soldiers, whose votes
he asks" "why he thus aided to de
prive a wounded soldier of employ
ment."-ISffn Advertiser.

The Jews it seems are becoming
q prosecuted race in this country.
The Republican Ohio State Conyen-
ton refused to put one on their tick
ct, and now another hotel has closed
its doors against them a la Judge
Hilton. It's Austin Corbin, this
time, who is President of the Man.
haitian Beach Company, who owns
the principal hotel at that popular
sea side resort. He refuses to per-
NIT Jews to become guests of the
hotel, assigning as a reason, "we do
not like them as class" The Jews
of New York are seriously offended,
and it was proposed to hold a mass
meeting to denounce the action of
the Beach Company. After all, the
American fool seems to be the big
gest of all FOOLS Give him money
and power, and the world has not his
equal. Jew or Gentle, if respecta
BILE, no objection should be made to
their admission to hotels, SO that
they pay their way. And it has
never been alleged that Jews do not
pay their hotel bills. A pretty pair
of fools, truly, are Hilton and Cor

H SUMMING up.

The extravaganza of the Republic
can Legislature of 1876 Z became so
apparent to the tax papers of the
State of Ohio that they determined
q new order of affairs should be in
augnrated and a different class of
men chosen to make their laws. The
overwhelming Democratic majority
OF 1877 attests how strongly this de-
termination prevailed among the
masses. Supreme and entire con-
troll of both branches of the General
Assembly was given the Democracy
fand they at once became responsi-
bile for all legislation enacted by
that body. With what faithfulness
the present Legislature has discharg
ed its obligations and how fully its
legislation will meet the expecta
lions and demands of the entire poo
pie, let the record speak. The Law
reducing salaries of county officers
it will save $195. 600 annually. II
has equalized and reduced the fees
of certain State officers. 1t has
passed a number of bills for the re
lief of the laboriEg classes in the
mining regions; and against imposi-
tons practiced in attachment cases,
1t has reduced, and removed almost
entirely the necessity for local OF
special Legislation. The patriotism
of its members is most creditably
illustrated in the passage of a strin-
gent election law, forbidding the use
of corrupt means to secure an cleo
ton, and thereby preserving the
purity of the ballot and perpetuating
the government in the Republican
simplicity designed by its founders.
1t has brought about a reduction in
the expenses of the various pubic
institutions of moro than a million
dollars. BY its superior wisdom il
has successfully completed the cod
ification and consolidation of our
laws-a work of stupendous magli-
tude. The total appropriations for
the years 1876 and 1877 under Re-
publican rule, amounted to $11, O50,
227,55. The total amount for the
years 1878 and 1879, under Demo
cratic rule, was $S,S05 1929, or a
saving under Democratic admins
tratioul of two million two hundred
and fourty-four thousand six hun
dred and ninety:fve dollars and six
teen cents. 1t will require no news

to party prejudice to convince the

ests have been faithfully guarded

Mr.. Gloyer's exposure of the cor
ruptions of the National Admins
tration worries the Republicans very
badly. They did all in their power
to prevent the publication of the
Glover report, but as they could not,
they are furious, and now talk about
MI. Glover having no right to retain
sundry papers after his term of of
fee had expired. They hope, with
the assistance of a few fishy Demo-
Gratis, to have a resolution of cen
sure passed by the House against
Mr. Glover. All this, however, will
not hurt Mr.. Glover nor help the
Republicans a bit. The report is
before the people, and the Admins
tration viii be judged accordingly.

Money is badly wanted by the Re-
publican managers of Ohio; and
where, say the men who are trying
to elect Mr.. Foster, can money be
had so readily as from the Govern
ment employees in Washington? A
few dollars a piece would dothe bus
mess handsomely. To be sure,
Hayes famous civil service order
stands in the way Of a compulsory
assessment, but under the "~volunta-
ry contribution system the end in
view may possibly be reached, if the
Seitz Election Law don't frighten
them.

The Republican journal. howlers
are fond of dwelling upon the power
of the government, and the necessi-
ty for upholding it with armed men
at election polls. They charge the
Democratic party with the intention
of overthrowing the government or
breaking down its authority, because
it demands that the army shall not
be employed to keepthe peace at the
polls. The charge is simply redic
ulous and q fraud. Now, what is "the
government" these official pap suck
ers are bowling about? They speak
asifby authority of that government,
as though they we're its recognized
deputies and representatives, put
forth to assert its rights and defend
its claims-as though the govern
ment was being assailed by scoun-
drels, and they were it's especial
guardians intrusted with the patri-
otic task of protecting it. But when
we come to carefully sc1utinize their
pretence, we find that "the gov
ernment' they are defending SO Wig
orously is not the government of the
United States, but only the Execu-
tive power of the Fraud who occu-
pies the White House. Because now
in the minority, these prating hypo
crits for 1.-THE government" want to
utterly ignore that very important
part of the government represented
by Congress, and Mr.. Blaine sneers
at it as a'political party entitled to
no respect! During their twenty
years control of both branches of
Congress, these very same fellows
thought and talked different. If it
represented a majority of the people
of the United States then,i it certain
~ ought now in the face of the fraud
who at present yields the executive
authority. 1t is the Republican par
ty, opposing the representatives of
the people through Congress, that
deserve the popular indignation of
every honest man for recreancy to
the government, instead ofthe Dem
%ocratic party. The honest masses
are beginning to e these things in
their true light.

The investigation of the Congress
sional elections in Hamilton coun-
ty of 1878, shows conclusivelv that
Deputy United States Marshals were
not appointed to preserve the purity
of the ballot-box OIL to protect voters
in their right of suffrage, but simply
for electioneering purposes. If this
is not true, how did it come that
none but Republicans were appoint
ed? The Democratic Congress was
correct in refusing to vote the peo-
pies money for such base purposes.
