Some Facts About Frands.

The people as yet are not aware of the
outrages perpetrated by deputy sheriffs
ard policemen upon unoffending citizens
at the recent election.
The treatment of E. r. Sprague has
already been recounted in these columns.
Right Rev. Thomas a. jaeger, Episco-
pal bishop, was challenged by plugs
ugly, thrust from the gangway and not
permitted to vote.
General Adams was knocked down
and badly beaten at the Sixth ward polls.
Mr.. Hendricks, assistant passenger
agent of the Bee Line. was challenged
and hurled from the gaDgway at the Six
teenth ward polls and but for the pres
eRce of United States marshals would
have been killed. Again he attempted TO
vote, and again he received the same
treatment.
In each of the cases the police were
called upon TO arrest the thugs and re-
fused, but the crowning infamy was the
incarceration in a black hole, at Ham
mond street, of one hundred and fifty
two colored men, aroused from their
slumbers by Mayor Stephens police at
midnight They were hurried to the
dungeon, and there kept without food or
water until fifteen minutes after the
closing of the polls, without a single
charge being made against them, not
even that of suspicion. The perpetra-
tors of this high handed outrage should
be made to suffer the full penalty of the
laW.-Cip. Com. Gazette, Oct. 20.

There Is no SuIer indication of th-
drift Of public opinion in politics than
the,eetting quotations. The New York
World is constantly publishing state+
mentS that thousands of dollars are of
feTed on Cleveland at even money. but
gentlemen IN this city who have teie
graphed to New York to get some of
these bets, can fud neither the men nor
the money. There is absolutely 10 bel-
ting in the country in large amounts at
even money, for thousands OF dollars are
offering at odds On Blaine.
The betting headquarters in this city
is the Race street office of the Kentucky
Turf Exchange. A large amount OF
money has been left in the hands of that
institution TO be placed as follows:
$500 to 300 that Blaine will be elected.
$500 to S400 that Blaine will carry \.
York
$500 to s4OO that Blaine will carry In

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Scott Law Declared UncOn-
stitutiOnal by Partisan
Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday pro-
claimed the Scott Law unconstitutional
The court has been in labor with this
law fer s.X G-ualhs or more. The deci>
sion is partisan one, and is made with
the view of making votes for the Dem
ocratic ticket next Tuesday. The law
was becoming popular as it was better
understood. and its destruction by a par
tisan court is the greatest outrage ever
perpetrated by a court in Ohio. Now,
We have no legislation whatever con-
trolling the liquor traffic. 1t is practi
cslly free.
The reelection of Judge johnson to
the Supreme bench was an endorsement
of the law by the people. All over the
State he was assailed by the organized
liquor interest, and his defeat demand
cd. In the face of this, he was reelected
by upward of $4,000 majority. This was
vindication of the law at the hands of
people, and was meant to be such.
The confusion that will result through
out the State, especially in large muni-
cipal corporations, will be very great
The hundreds of thousands of dollars
already paid into the county treasures
and disbursed, will have to be refunded
to the liquor dealers. The duplicates for
next year are made out and in the hands
of county treaSurerS. Levies have been
made by municipal authorities and by
commissioners of counties upon the ba-
sis of such sums. respectively, as would
meet the public wants, after adding the
moneys to be received from the Scott
law assessments. Now that source OF
revenue is wiped out, as with sponge.
In this county about 1000 per year
was paid Into the treasury from tha
source. The city of Bellaire, already
heavily taxed, will be the greatest sui.
ferer. At the August settlement, she
received SS,3SS.5l, and the township OI

AS TO CHASTITY.
Views of the Rev. DR.. Storrs.

1t seems very clear. too, that since the
nominations were made the character of
the only other candidate who can by pos

wound fatal. that is, to any just aspira-
tions on his part toward the Presidency.
The suggestion that man whose history
is stained with admitted licentiousness
may yet properly and deliberately be put
at the head of the Nation must certainly
be secuted. Forgiveness is one thing
Popular coronation is quite another.
Ethics must surely take precedence of
politics. 1t would seem to be, certainly,
grave offense against the family against
the public honor for chaste womanhood,
against the divine law Of purity, against
the essential welfare Of the State, to con-
tribute TO elevate TO the highest Office in

a loose woman in his train, and an ille>

thing of worse example to the nultitudes
of young men who are dangerously

Let Every Republican vots
Be P0I!ed.

The HreSlOenJlal election Occufs
next Tuesday, and the Republican
forces should at once be massed
for the final charge which shall
scatter and demoralize the enemy
and put Ohio among the foremost
of the Republican States. The
Republicans won a great victory
in October, which has had an in
spring effect upon the Republi-
cans of all the other states. The
result is that some of the states
before considered doubtful are now
counted as certain for Blaine and
Logan. That victory was won by
hard work, by which very full
vote was polled. The same kind
of work and the same kind of a
vote is demanded for next Tues
day. The Democrats are not idle.
They have not given up the fight
in Ohio, but are rallying their
forces for another stand. They
pretend to believe that they can
and will carry the state for Cleve-
land and Hendricks. This is put
on for effect, and with a view to
again bringing out their full vot-
ing force. The only danger is that
many Republicans may conclude
that it will not require the same
determined and united effort to
carry the state in November that
was necessary in October, and
may, on that account, be induced
to remain away from the polls.
This is a mistake. While the
state is undoubtedly safe for Blaine
and Logan, it should be the ambi-
ton of every Republican to make
the majority so large that it will
be a source of pride and gratifica-
ton, not only to himself and his
party friends in Ohio, but to the
candidates and the Republicans OF
the entire country. With anything
like the same effort and as full a
vote as we had in October that
majority can be made to reach
twenty-five to thirty thousand
But to accomplish this every Re-
publican vote must be polled.
There must be no tagging or hang
ing back or staying away. Let
" every vote" therefore, be the
ralIying cry of the Republicans
from now until the polls close on
the 4th of November. And let
every man make it a part of his
business to see that every vote is
polled, and in good season. Ii
any Republican is away from
home see that he returns in time
to vote. The only way to be safe
is to be sure, and the only way to
be sure is to have every Republican
ballot in the box before 6 o'clock
on Tuesday evening.
