There could hardly be worse sign for
the future of the Republican party than
that in its twenty-seventh year, after
eighteen years of such power us no party
has ever had, it should be so barren in
men, should have done 80 little to bring
talent and character to the front, that it
should not be able to produce single
civilian to save it from the necessity of
giving a third term to soldier whose
want of civil capacity had already
deprived it of the control of the Gov
ernment.

The figures of past elections in Hamil-
ton county-Cincinnat not allow
the Republicans to take any comfort out
of the result. In 1872 Greeley carried it
by about 1000; in 1875 Hayes, for Gov
ernor, carried it by over 1900; in 1876
Tilden carried the county by less than
1 900; in 1877 Bishop had majority
over the Republican candidate for
Governor of {, 1000, but was 5000 behind
in the whole vote, the workingmen poll
ing an unusual third-party vote. The
Republicans carried it by 1900 in the
election of 1878, in the election for Sec
rotary of State. In the Congressional
election the Republican majority was
1894. So that a majority of 1,50O is no
revolution majority.

A newspaper is the chronicle of civil
zatiOn-the common reservoir into
which every stream pours its living wa
tiers, and at which every man can come
and drink. It is the newspaper that
gives to liberty its practical life, its con-
slant observation, its perpetual vigilance,
its unrelaxing activity. The newspaper
informs legislators of public opinion and
it informs the people of the acts of legis-
lation; and this is not all. The news
paper teens with the most practical
morality; in its reports of crime and
punishments you find a daily warning
against temptation; not case in a court,
not single trial of a wretched outcast
or trembling felon, that does not preach
to US the awful lesson how imprudence
leads to error, how error conducts to
guilt, how guilt reaps its bitter fruit of
anguish and degradation, The newspa-
per is the familiar bond that binds to-
gether man and man-no matter what
may be the distance or climate or the
difference of race. The newspaper is a
law book for the indecent, a sermon for
the thoughtless, library for the poor.
1t may instruct the most profound.
