THE OHIO REPUBLICAN C0NyEN.
TON TODAY.

The Ohio Republicans will assemble
in convention to-day, and unless an
other panic seizes them and they are
stampeded under the impression that
b ewhole thing has gone to pieces, they
will probably nominate q tt.sacet with.
out postpOnement.
Ohio is looked upon As one of the
pivotal States which will hold elections
next fall. The Republicans are enter
ing upon the campaign with more than
usual manifestations OftrepidatiOn. The
Democrats are more than usually san
guine. But the best that can he said
OF the situation is that Ohio will con-
tinue to be a doubtful State until after
the election.
MI. SHERMAN was put forward the
other day as "OhiO's foremost Republi-
can" to formulate the issues Of the cam
paign in advance of the meeting of the
convention. He announced that the
leading issues would be temperance
and the tariff. He put the Republicans
on a temperance and tariff platform,
and the Democrats on u free whisky
and free trade platform. OF course he
did!
The issue which Mr.. SHERMAN
would like to make with the Demo-
Gratis, or like the Democrats to make
with him and his party, is to favor an
unlicensed and uutaxed liquor traffic
against a liquor traffic put upon the
same business basis as any other trade
or traffic.
The probability is that fOur-tifths of
the voters of Ohio, regardless of party
affiliations, are in favor Of some regu-
lation of the lisuor traffic, which is
now without regulation or tax. They
differ simply as to the nature of the
regulation. The Republicans have set
up another "Pond bill" measure, this
time called the "Scott law" to which
many are opposed because they do not
believe it is constitutional or has any
more chance of being sustained in the
courts than the Pond bill had. But the
Republicans want it to last long enough
for them to sail through a campaign
upon, and il does not matter after that
what the courts say ABOUT it. They
point to it as the earnest of their de-
votion TO temperance reform, and all
who oppose it, whether on legal con-
siderations or otherwise, they desire to

PARTISANSHIP IN DECORATION
CEREMONIES.

The disposition which has been man
Tested in certain quarters to stir up and
perpetrate q discussion about the pro-
priety of Federal soldiers decorating
Confederate graves is neither seemly
nor profitable.
Both the motive and the spirit which
have prompted it are bad.
The REGISTER has not participated in
the controversy, and will not do so
now.
Our whole object in referring to the
matter is to call attention to the frivO-
lous and vexatious spirit that prompts
the controversy. The organization
known as the "Grand Army of the Re-
public" is composed exclusively of men
who were in the Federal army. They
have established a custom of once a
year decorating the graves Of their CON-
rades. The custom is a very beautiful
and proper one in itself. 1t is intended
solely to honor the memory of COM
rades who were associated in a COM
mon cause. BY comrades is meant
those who were members of some divi-
sion of the same army to which they
belonged. Their comrades in the war
were not Confederate soldiers, and there
are no Confederate soldiers who are
now mem bers of the organization re-
ferred to.
We submit, therefore, that any dis
cusSion as to the prOpriety or impropri-
ty of the Grand Army Of the Republic
charging tbs scope of their decoration
ceremonies so as to include the graves
of Confederate soldiers, is both unne-
ccsSsry and impertinent.
II unnecessary because it is not eX-
rected of them; because it is not pro-
rerly within the scope and purpose of
the organization; and because the Con-
iederate dead have living comrades
who desire to, and who in fact do, de-
curate their graves. The latter are not
neglected, and therefore no possible AS
sumption Of duty or responsibility on
the part of the G. \. II. for decorating
the Confederate graves can possibly
alise.
1t is well known that although the
ext onfederates have no organization
similar to that of the G.. a. r., that
they came together informally on
Decoration day." and some forty or
fifty of them ~proceededto the cemetery
where they were met by a number OF
ladies with an abundant supply of
flowers, and every Confederate grave
was decorated by a Confederate COM
rade.
There was no dishonOr to Confcder-
ates implied in Federal soldiers laying
their flowers exclusively on the graves
Of their comrades, o was any rehec-
ton cast upon the Federal
dead when the Confederate soldiers
sought exclusively for Confederate COM
rades. 1t was more beautiful and pro-
per that the graves Of each should be,
honOred at the hands of comrades. II
the graves Of any had been neglected.
it would have been msgnsnimous and
noble in the soldier of tine opposite army
to drop a flower as an expression of re-
speet and honor to a brave opponent.
This, We are glad to say, was done by
the soldiers of each side as they CHANGED
to pass the graves of their opponents
and We venture to say that it was done
only by those who do not think it worth
the while to enter into a technical dis
cussiOn as to the propriety of the act,

nent controversy.
