The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1880-04-01

Is WdnC6u III pain IndtJeTS Ol business lS
notorious.-The following is submitted as
a very good ticket for School Board:
Bailey, Horstmann, Kiechler Archer, Do
herty, Dawson, Morgan. Williams. Under
hill, Whitman, Fechheimer, Fishburn.-
The receipts from customs for March were
nineteen millions, and from internal reve.
nue. about nine millions. The reduction
of the public debt for the month will be
between thirteen and fourteen Millions
The National Bank circulation has in
creased $40, 6S6, l03 since January 1st, 1876
resumption day.
The Enquirer says: John Sherman has
arrived in Mansfield. He has made few
remarks. But he spoke inconsiderately.
He Las not been long enough on the ground
to speak intelligently and comprehensively
OF his fences. He will look to the En-.
quirer for the news for the accurate in
formation in relation to his fences. We
reluctantly say to him that they are in
very bad shape. There isn't length with
the top rail on. The stones are out from
under tue corners. The stakes are rotten.
We don't believe there's sound stake on
his whole farm. About his most cherished
meadows the fences are altogether taken
| away. His trusted neighbors have burned
them for firewood, and their cattle have
| already made his finest grass lands
speckled with their footprints in the soft
earth. His fences one year ago were an
| impossible Gordon line, Chinese wall, in
comparison with the same fences to-day.
| His agents. in endeavoring to fence in
ground at doesn't belong to him, have
made the best portions of his fences so in
efficient that sucking calf can walk
through or over them. His entire proper
| ty in Ohio is in very bad way. Mr.. Sher-
man should confine his attention to his
Washington property, lest that t,o disap-
| pear. In seeking to take care Of too much
ground he may lose that fine Washington
estate, which he has earned by the sweat Of
his brow. Mr.. Sherman should not allow
himself to be deceived. His Ohio fences
are of no earthly account They never
before were in so bad a plight.-The
pc pile of Cincinnati will elect Mr.. Hotf-
man to the Comptrollership if the
signs do not fail: but before this is done
some assurance should be given that the
Legislature will not again eject him from
office as soon as he is init is currently
and trustworthily reported that the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Eshelby was secured by the
convention. The debauchery was not con-
cealed. He was nominated by .ring !"
and by the money of the ''ring." 1t is
not alleged, with intelligence and honesty,
that he has any other fitness for the office
of Comptroller than his fitness to do the
bidding of such Republicans as have en-
small dabbler in such affairs, humble
A. fbat
The Gazette says: The Republican Con.
| vention yesterday nominated Il. O. Esh.
elby to fill the newly created Office of Coup.
| troller. If the Convention had done any
| thing like as well in nominating candidates
| for the Board OF Education the public
would have commended it without reser.
valion. We can commend Mr.. Eshelby
to the public as man worthy of the I'M
portant position. He has the two es-
sential qualifications, honesty and capac-
ity, and if he should be elected to succeed
Mr.. Hoffman, and there is any crooked
ness in the Office, he will be sure to
discover and expose it. The condition oil
affairs in the Auditors Office renders &
change absolutely necessary, and our citi
zens should see that it is effected. The
abuse of Legislative power caused public
indignation which buried the Democratic
party under from 1000 to 1000 majority.
And now Hoffman, the leading worker in
all this iniquity, has the hardihood to ask
the citizens to elect him as victim to par
tisan legislation. He who had debauched
legislation in his efforts to avoid the peo
ple,s voice, now asks them to elect him al
a condemnation of such Legislation.-Wt
very much regret that the Gazette can no
Board of Education as a whole. 1t wa
consistently support the ticket TO
hoped that the Convention yeslerda,
would have done something toward recon
structing the ticket. or that the candidate
would have resigned in body in orde
that new ticket might have been made
But nothing was done, and 1t now onl
remains for us to suggest what ma
be called citizens ticket, made up fror
the two tickets already in the field. l
suggesting the following names from til
two tickets the Gazette discharges its duty
For the rest citizens who are entitled t
vote are responsible: From the Republ
. can ticket-Samuel Bailey, Jr, E. Coz
Williams W. H. Morgan, DR.. J. w. Unde
hill, Theodore Horstman, Chris. Kiechle
William Reynolds. From the Democrat
ticket-C. @. Archer, Judge H. G. Viii
man, DR.. w. w. Dawson, ]. NJ. Doherty
Marcus Fechheimer.

The Volksfreund says: The Abend POI
was the only one among the Republca
papers to give an impartial criticism of tt
Democratic School Board ticket.-It is
shame that the Republicans are with fort
drawing religi n into politics. In Ohio a
citizens have equal rights. In filling offc
religion Is not to be considered, but Il
honesty and capability of the candidate

The Freie Presse says: The nominate
