POLITICAL NOTES.

Legislature can be!
The Ohio Legislature has agreed to
adjourn on April 18th.
The change in Gin cinnati from last
fall is about IA, 900 in favor of the Demo-
Gratis.
Oregon Democrats in State Convention
have nominated James S. Smith for
Governor and William d. FentOn for
Congressman.
Next time Ohio Republicans better get
Beer instead of Pond to introduce their
bill. "The Beer bill'' has little more
loan on it than "The Pond bill"
The veto of the anti-Chinese bill, the
passage of the Pond liquor tax bill and
the bribery scandal in the Ohio Legisla-
ture will make Democrats out of some
very good Republicans.
The vote in Cleveland last spring on
Mayor was: Republican, IL, 1,918; Demo-
cratic, $500. This year it scores up as
follows on Fire Commission: DemOcra-
tic, 11,O24; Republican, $3.50.
Mr.. Page, Republican Representative
from California, who had the anti
Chinese bill in charge in the House is
very much discouraged, He says the
Democrats will make great political
capital out of the veto.
The Railroad Commission bill that has
| passed the New York Assembly, provides
for the election of the Commissioners by
the people. The great point was to get
the naming of the officials away from
Gov. Cornell, of the Rep.-Tam. cOmbina-
| tiOn.
If we are to believe Republican cOrres-
| pOndents at Albany Gov. Tilden will be
| the Democratic candidate for Governor
of New York this fall. He would be
| good for about 10000 majority, but we

The Hodge, Scott and Jones factions
can never agree, but occasionally two of
them can come together for the purpose
of embarrassing the other. Scott and
Jones allied themselves to pass the Pond
| bill, so as to make Cleveland warm for
HOdge.-Enquirer
Democrats carried Chicago bya heavy
majority last week. They also carried
Milwaukee electing a Mayor. st. Paul
went Democratic and a Democrat was
elected Mayor of Minneapolis by 1,790
majority over his Republican competitor.
The tidal wave seems to have swept over
the whole country.
The Leader has not yet explained why
| it is wrong for small dealers in liquor,
like Captain Missar and others, to sell it
by the drink, while it is right for Amos
Townsend, large drug firms, and others
to sell it at wholesale. "Plate sin with
| gold" and the Leader will fall down and
worship it.-Plain Dealer.
The Republican party is the party of
pauper labor. 1t believes in protecting
the great railroad and mining mOnOpo-
lies, but labor must be left defenseless
| to its enemies. President Arthur in
vetOing the Chinese bill commits the
Republican party to that policy, and the
Republican organs indOrse his action.
Even in Rhode Island and Iowa where
Republicanism is TOck-Tibbed and moss
grown the shock has been felt. In the
elections last week the Democrats have
made heavy gains. In the former the
usual Republican majority was cut
down and Democratic gains made in the
Legislature. In Iowa, cities and towns
went Democratic that never did before
in all their history.
The Auditor of State and Attorney
General concur in the opinion that the
Personal Property Assessors for the year
1882 have noduties to perform under the
provisions of the Pond law, and official
instructions to that effect have been
issued. This raises an important ques-
tiOn. 1t looks as though the saloon
keepers might escape taxation under
the bill for year.
The Republican party has been carry
| ing MalnH law on one SnOulQer ana
whisky and beer on the other. 1t must
unload, and herein lies dangers of a
bitter feud between the Saints and the
Machine. The latter is largely run by
alcoholic power, while the Saints are
fed with promises of prOhibitOry laws.
The elections show the party is at the
forks of the road.
A prominent Brewer of Cincinnati, in
an interview in the Enquirer, said that
all the brewers of that city were Repub-
licans and had given literally of their
means to help along in every State cam
paign Not only that, but they were
solicited for funds for campaigns in
other States-even to pull through Ma
hone in his repudiatiOn scheme in Vir-
ginia.
Gen. ROseerans says that he has no
more doubt of the Democrats carrying
the Pacific States this fall than he has
of his existence. Ninety-nine hundredths
of the people of California in "a formal
vote pronounced against Chinese immi-
grafton, and the Indignation that will
be aroused by the veto will be sufficient
to sweep the whole Pacific Coast for the
Democracy. The veto shows to the peo-
pie that they can only look to the Demo
cratic party for protection, since the
Republicans always legislate for the
favored few and mOnOpOlists.
