The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1884-04-12

THE Young Mems Democratic Club,
of Brooklyn, on Saturday evening gave
certain conspicuous Democrats an OPP
portunity of further expressing their
political views before the meeting of
the National Democratic Convention.
Mr.. Bayard was at the dinner, and
when he rose to respond to a toast
some enthusiastic admirer proposed
three cheers for /" the next President of
the United States Mr.. Bayard was
SO much embarrassed by the warmth
of his reception that he forgot to say
anything about the tariff beyond the
general declaration that taxes ought
not to be laid for the purpose of trans
ferring the property of the many to the
pockets of the few. This is safe
proposition, which nobody will dispute.

IL the Presidential contest this year
Ohio will occupy almost as important
a place as Indiana did in 1880. 1t is
now the great October battlefield, and
the result in that month will largely in
huence the November election. Hence,
even the municipal elections, decided
Monday, have an important bearing
politically. And certainly it would be
very cross-grained Republican who
could fail to be pleased with the re-
turns from the Ohio cities. Cleveland
changes a Democratic majority of 81
GOO last year to a Republican majority
of $500 this year. Cincinnati, on a
light vote, went Democratic by a few
hundred plurality, the heavy majorities
Of the last two elections being OBJ
liberated. Toledo, Dayton, Young--
town, and, in fact, almost every point
heard from show steady Republican
gains. The Buckeye State gives notice
that she will as surely cast her electoral
vote for the Republican Presidential
nominee as will the State Of Kansas.
