The Real Issue in Ohio.

This being . ConeresslOual ycdi No
tional politics will enter to some extent
into the Ohio canvass. The overshad
owing issue, however, will be the tenn
perance question, and this grows out OF
the defiant position assumed by the
brewers and liquor dealers of the State
These men assume to be law unto
themselves and openly disregard all at
tempts to place a wholesome restraint
upon their Ubiquitous traffic. They have
no respect for usage and tradition; they
despise the Sabbath and desecrate its
sanctity; and make war against the OBJ
servance of law and order. They are
wholly Indifferent to the growth of mis-
ery, drunkenness and crime, and only
care to promote their own selfish and
wicked ends. They profess to be great
friends of personal liberty while they
are fastening upon thousands the shack
les of the demon of drunkenness and
sending them to the almshouse. the lu'
matte asylum, the penitentiary, and the
potter's field. This has been going or
for years, and when the better senti
ment of community objects and makes
itself heard through the Legislature
they put On a show of yirtuous indigna-
tion and proclaim political crusade
against the promoters of better state
of affairs. The recent action of the
brewers convention at Cincinnati plain.
ly shows that We do not mistake the
matter. They have proclaimed that
they will oppose every man for politi-
cal position whom they may suspect OF
favoring taxation of the liquor traffic oil
of suspeRding the sale of Intoxicating
beverages on Sunday. They have gone
further and formed an alliance with the
Democratic advocates of free rum
agreeing to furnish large sum OF mon
ey to defray the expenses OF the Demo
cratic campaign. We do not deny ths
right of the brewers to affiliate with
whatever party they may select, nor de-
ny their right to promote its success by
aver legitimate means, but we do deny
their right to debauch the morals of &c
cisty by carrying on an unrestrained
traffic. They have deliberately thrown
down the gage of battle to the Republi-
can party and all who sustain its actor
in passing proper restrictive laws. The
Republicans can do no less than accept
the issue thus thrust upon them. To de
otherwise would be both weak and COW
ardly. The party has never yet showr
the white feather but has met every
public issue without faltering. Every
thing indicates that it will do so In this
case, and merit SUCCESS by its honesty
OF purpose in upholding the morals Of
community and the laws of the State
