The New York TINES is the best
posted of all the metropolitan news
papers on Ohio politics, and its views
of the situation are generally correct.
Although a Republican newspaper,
it candidly confesses that the Repub-
licans of Ohio have slim chances of
success this year. After commenting
in various phrases ofthe situation the
TINES sums up by saying that the Re-
publican party will be forced to put
forth its best effort to escape defeat is
now clearly understood by those who
are in a position to know, and the
danger is now beginning to be recog-
niZed by those who have hitherto
thought that the prestige gained du-
ring the past few years could not be
overcome by the opposition, whatev-
er the party in power might see fit TO
do. The Ohio Republicans to-day
find themselves confronted by o uni
ted Democracy, and are thu eatened
by a feeling dissatisfaction existing
in its own ranks among the German
and Irish voters, who two years since
cast their lot with the Republicans
This detection can no longer be ignor-
ed or talked down. The information
received from Hon. w. S. Cappeller,
Auditor of Hamilton county and q
member of the State Executive Com
mittee, is to the effect that the dissat-
isfaction in Cincinnati alone will cost
the Republicans 5000 votes-a virtual
gain of 5000 for the Democracy
Should Republicans in Cleveland,
Toledo, Dayton, Columbus and other
cities show an equal disregard fol
party ties it does not require an ex'
pert in mathematics to ascertain what
the result in October will be.

PHILADELPHIA Record,

The country is taxed beyond any
limit of prudence. The Republican
party distinctly refused to lessen the
burden of the people either by a re-
peal of internal taxes or a reduction
of tariff duties. The money in excess
of the needs of the Treasury for the
sweeping reduction of the national
debt is sqnandered in appropriations
for u%nneeded public buildings, in
enormous gratuities. in unnecessary
coast and river improvements and in
costly additions to u cumbrous civil
service. No consideration for the COM
fort of the mass of the people or for
the crippled condition of business I'M
dertakings avails to check this reck-
less extravaganza. But it must be ter
minated, and the question of tax re-
duction will be the paramount politi-
cal issue before the country until a
change is effected.

The Pennsylvania Democrats NOM
mated Robert E. Pattison, of Phila-
delphia, for Governor. Even Repub-
licans admit that this is the strong
est nomination that could have been
made. Pattison is ct present Comp
troller of Philadelphia, and his pop
ularity is attested by the fact that
he was elected in that Republican
stronghold by over ten thousand ma
jority. Even were the Republican
party united instead of rent into two
bitterly hostile factions, Pattison
could carry the state. AS it is, his
election and that of the entire Dem
o%cratic ticket in Pennsylvania is as
sured. The Democrats Of the Key
stone state made no mistake. They
have acted with great wisdom and in
the utmost harmony. They will put
Pennsylvania into the Democratic
column to stay.

Free estimates of our probable in
crease by immigration this year have
usually made the figures in the
neighborhood Of 1000, 000. This has
been latterly reduced to 100000, but
the probabilities now point to at
least 100000 less for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1882. What the
calendar year will bring forth is
further along. The total arrivals for
the eleven months Of the fiscal year
ending May 81, 1882, are 6S5,634,
against 562,151 for the correspond
ing period last year. The arrivals
for the entire fiscal year of 1881 were
669,431. The calendar year 1881
gave US 72O $1,000 foreign additions to
our population. The total from 1920,
when the record was first kept, up
to May 81, 1882, is 11,493,S23

The Democratic State Convention
of Maine renominated Gov. Plaisted.
In three of the four Congress dis
tricts Greenback candidates were
nominated. The platform denounces
bribery at elections, demands such a
civil service reform as will clean out
knaves, break down bosses, and put
an end to the present oligarchy of
otfice-holders; protests against the
continuance of high tariff duties to
keep up inordinately large revenues,
and opposes the substitution of a ma,
tional bank note currency for the
grccnbact issue.

1t wasn't enthusiastic by q d. s.
They forgot to make it unanimous.
BickhaE is boss, and don't you
forget it.
Mr.. Shultz got the goods-and
paid for 'em.
Preble County settled it with her
eleven votes.
The Revenue Ring did it with its
little barrel.
Colonel Robert Williams wouldn't
have the Secretaryship. He wouldn't
be bottled up that way.
Colonel Williams delivered enough
of the goods to complete the con
tract.
1t will be necessary to erect kick

Mike Kimmel reported the dele
gates "full." No reference to big
tumblers or ten cent vs.. fifteen cent
drinks.
The stage is too conspicuous a place
to tumble in the yes pocket for a
delegation. Col. Williams declined
to be Secretary.
The bitterness of the Shultz crowd
against Mr.. Gunekel was exhibited
by discourteous Kisses while Dick
Parrott was making the speech nom
mating him.
The Shultz men violated all the
proprieties and courtesies that usu-
ally belong to a Congressional Con.
vention.
In Prebie County they would not
permit a complimentary vote of the
whole county for Col. Harris. The
Revenue Ring delivered the men or
the first ballot.
The Preble County people got bad
ly mixed up on the matter of the or
ganization of the committees, as they
came down to Dayton to elect boil
the Congressman and the Interna
Revenue Collector. This was tn;
natural result Of having too man,
irons in the fire at the same time.

A Philadelphia society has under
taken to close the beer gardens of
that city on Sundays, and, instead of
dealing first with the disreputable
ones, has proceeded against a rather
fashionable resort. Tie excuse for
this is that, by shutting up such a
place at the outset, the rest of the
job will be made easy. This Sun
day business seems to be spreading.

The election Of President in 1876
was bodily taken by the Republicans
with the aid of the army. The new
tactics is to buy victories from the
public treasury. How long the re-
public can continue to exist in fact
with its control annually purchased
with the taxes lain ostensibly for its
administration is a problem that will
likely soon be solved, for the Chand-
lers and Robesons, unless checked at
once by the integrity of the masses,
will scarcely leave the subject for So
luton to q succeeding generation.

The Republican Corruption

Wonder if all the P. Ms in Preble
have forwarded their little
assessment to the Republican cam
paign corruption fund at Washing

for the party of "great moral ideas"
the party claiming to be Goods par

Sabbath, to be sending out circulars
all over the country, demanding of
each cross road post master a small
pittance to be used for corrupting

of this party in Ohio opened their
Convention with prayer, and wind up
their platform by declaring it to "be

honesty and fraud at the ballot box

At the very time this deceptive dec

private circulars were being sent out
to the government employees all over

on them for the sole and only purpose
of purchasing votes enough to keep

have it from Senator PENDLEToN's
speech in the Senate last week on
this "circular" business, that "seven

gregate of $4,000. 1t had been
