The investigation into the federal marshal
vflainy in the Ohio election, opens: with the
production Of the correspondence between Lot
Wright the marshal and the Department of
Justice. Wright's own letters, enclosing requi-
sition for the money to pay the marshals are
alone enough to impeach him as an officer
charged with the duty Of enforcing the election
law impartially. According to his assertions
fraud, intimidation and violence, more outra-
geous than have been alleged against the worst
regions Of the South, have been the rule at all
elections held in Cincinnati for years. This
lawlessness is all charged upon the Democratic
party and the Democratic local officers, In a way
that shows Wright had no idea of using his Of
flee for anything but partisan eectioneering
machine. He gave as reason for bis employ
ment Of SO many marshals, the fact that the
Democrats had appointed a lot of special po-
licemen, when the truth is that these policemen
were never appointed at all, until the Democrat
ic leaders had tried unsuccessfully to get Wright
to have bis marshals impartial guardians OF the
law, appointed from both parties alike. Only
when he refused to permit anybody but a Re-
publican to serve under him did the state or
city authorities take any steps. No doubt there
was fraud, unreasonableness and violence on
both sides, and the investigations ought to
reach the exact truth. But Wright's behavior
cannet be Justified in the slightest.
Senator Nc Pherson will on Monday call the
senate's attention to the charge of tea Inspector
Davis that he was paid money to lobby the tea
inspection bill through, unless Secretary Nc
CullOch before that time diSmlSseS Davis from
his place. Those who favored the bll! are not
inclined to rest under the charge implied in
DaviSS statement, II the treasury department
is to continue to shield him after his detection
as d black mailer upon Boston and New York
tea importers.
The labor men are "kicking" against Presi-
dent Arthur's nomination of the Cincinnati
ward politician, Ferrenbach, to be chief of the
new labor bureau. They say he is selected for
political services only and ask that John Pow
derly of Scranton, Pa, head of the knights of
Labor, be named. The opposition has d is
suaded the president from sending Ferrenbach's
name to the senate, and he will not do it unless
Senator Sherman insists. If hc does not, then
Powderly Or Carroll ID Wright Of Massachu-
sets will be selected.
