DECENCY.

Every citizen of this city is familiar
with the name and career of John Wes-
ley Blokwalter. II life is as clean, clear,
and pure as human character can be.
Coming to Springfield seventeen years
ago a penniless, ,friendless country youth,
ne is today the 7 eer of Springfeld's best
and ablest men. Not blot, not an un-
clean spot, can be found on his private
character, even though he was beset by
seemingly insurm obstacles and
had to contend withsone of the shrewd.
est, ablest men in the State and Nation.
On the contrary, he has done many
noble deeds of priuate charity, as many
of his employees and friends can testify.
He has ever taken delight in aiding hon.
est worth. His public enterprise is man
ifested in giving Springfield hotel not
equa led in Ohio in city of ofSpringfeld's
population, an Opera House which has
no superior in the . nited States, and a
busine ls block that set an example and
gave an impetus to the building boom
now current.
Such has been his entire and absolute
devotion to business and self.eduCation,
that he had no time for tocial cOnver g
and communion. Recently he began to
rest from his business tasks, and today

GUS, graceful gentleman than Mr.. Book.
walter. In society, as everywhere else,
he is a mastery man. Surely, it is not
possible that the people Of Springfield
will submit to hear such man, lately 30
highly extol,ed, now denounced and
shamefully slandered, publicly and pri.
vately, merely because one of Ohio's two
great political parties has made him their
candidate for Governor,
Rather, from local pride and the City's
sake, our people will rally to his support
and do all they can to bestow upor him
the highest honor within the gift of the

stand the Nav York case the briberysex'
posed was attempted for another candi-
date who withdrew subsequently from
the contest. But itis alleged that Mr.
Warner Miller became the candidate in
his place, was supported by the same
men who are charge with attempting
the bribery and as some assert was the
recE lent Of the advantages secured by
sny successful bribery that may hav
been practiced. All this il subject for in
vestigat on and should be thoroughly
cleared up The proposition that War
ner Miller did not receive majority Of
the votes of full Legis ature is Of diti'
erant character. Probably, as a matter
of right, a majority of the entire Legis'
ature ought to be required TO elect 80
important a representative as a United
States Senator, who holds Office for tx
years. B in Kellogg's case he Repub.
icans have established a very different
principle. Kellogg was elected bp leg
is ature which never had in it Senate
with a quorum. The Legislature in fact
was not a legal Legislature at all for it
never had Senate. Yet Kellogg was
confirmed in his seat by Republican
votes. TIE Democrats might go to ex.
tremes in the opposite direction and re.
iact Mr.. Miller because he did not have
clear maj ,rity Of the whole L gislature,

TIE SHAME OF THE AGE.

shames US. and mocks US at every point.
1t outwits alike the teacher, the man Of
business, the patriot and the legislator,
Every other institution fOunde!s in
hopeless difficulties; the public house
holds its triumphant course. The sd.
ministrstors Of public and private chsri.
ty are told that aims and obligations go,
with rates, doles and pensions, to the all
absorbing bar Of the public house. not
year passes in either town or village
without some unexpected and hideous
scandal, the outcome Of habitusl iudulg-
enCe, often small and innocent in its ori-
gin. Some poor creature, long and de-
servedly high in respect, perhaps rever-
enCe, of the neighborhood, makes a sud-
den shipwreck of character. Under the
accumulating influence of alcohol, aggra-
vated, perhaps, by other, and still more
treacherous agencies, the honest man
turns knave, the respectable man sud.
denly loses principle and self.respeCt; he
wise man is utterly foolish, the rigldly
moral man forgets his mask and his code
and plungss headlolg into libertinism.
II then turns out, what possibly ;om

THE BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS.

The fact that the Democracy of the
State of Ohio dared to present declara.
ton of principles which necessarily ar.
igned the Republican party, leads the
Radical press into bitterness of denun-
citation that is not less stupid than men
daCious. In considering the resolution
declaring that the benevolent institutions
of the State sh ould be free from partisan
chance or appointment the Cin. CONNER
cial is led to remark: ..
"If ever there was a time in Ohio
when. men of opposing politics were
hunted ont of the charitable and puni.
tive institution Of the State it was while
Bishop was Governor. Having cleared
the Republicans oHt of all the important
offices, search was made among the soul.
lions and Coal.heavers, and wherever q
Republican was found even in these me.
NAL offices he was elected sunmsrily
The proposition is sound one, but it's
only illustration in practice has been un-
der Republican Governors"
NOW, mark how plain tale will put
this petty trickster down" During the
Democratic administration of Governor
Bishop, the Superintendent Of the fol-
lowing State institutions were Rel ublic.
8: Blind Asylrm, Deaf and Dumb
A ylum, Cleveland Insane Asylum, Idi-
otic Asylum, AMI the Reform School for
girls; at Delaware. Democratic Superin.
tendents wers placed over the Columbus,
Dayton, and Athens Asylum for The In
sane, the Lancaster Reform School and
the Soldiers Orphans Home at Xenia.
Thus of the ten institutions, changes
wei Q made in but half, and these, simply
''in order that the affairs might be eff
GENTLY and honestly administered" The
welfare Of the inmates, and the cause Of
humanity itself, demanded that the sys.
tenn Of government adopted be changed,
and the reform could be made efficient
and p rmanent only by dismissing the
officials. In five State institutions no
chang were made. Now, compare the
policy adopted by Gov. Bishop with the
course pursued by Gov. Foster When
the Republican party under his lead,suc
ceeded to the cotnrol of Safe afAiTs,they
found the institutions equally divided be-
tween the two parties. With the insin.
Cerity which more than aught else distin.
guisbes the party after having promised
that no changes should be made for par
tisan reasons, Foster had scarce warmed
the executive chair when every Demo.
cratic official was sum marily dismissed
and his place given to satellite Of the
c'eacinous Governor In this as in ev.
