Undoubtedly March and April are the
pleasantest months OF the year 10 visit

nIr.Blaine,s WAY.

II there are democrats who do not see
this, there is one man here who does see
1t very clearly. Mr.. Blaine is spending
the winter here and is adroitly fostering
opposition to both the canal and the
Spanish treaties. His influence against
them Is felton, both sides Of the Senate
He would like to defeat the President
and Secretary Frelinghuysen, but be sees
also that to secure the rejection of the
treaties would be to deal blow to the
democrats just coming into power, and
TO do this with democratic help would
be great success for him. He will
probably fail. but his hopes o. defeating
the treaties are based largely upon the
expectation OF stirring up democratic
opposition to them-thst lie to say, he is
trading on the stupidity OF some demo.
Gratis, as he has often done before.A

Governor Hoadly. in his message to
the Ohio Legislature, puts in strong re-
lief the one point in the politics OF that
State that is of most interest 10 the whole
country, which is the fact that its Slate
election occurs in the month Of October
He presents this vigorous summary OF
the bad effects:
I'm October, 1884, Ohio was regarded
IS "pivotal" State by both parties
Each devoted its best energies to achieve
success here in order to promote its
chances of success in November else
where. Large sums of money we're co.,
trbuted by citizens of other States and
spent here, mnch in illegi ima'e III not
illegal methods, to advance the cause Of
their favorites. Federal officers let
their bureaus to take charge Of the Ohio
campaign. 1t cannot be possible that
the exaggerated consequence thus given
to the early election in single State is
OF benefit either to the people OF that
State or Of the country. tits bid for
the use of illegal and corrupt methods,
a temptation beyond the power OF many
to resist, to interfere With and disturb
the ordinary and orderly procedure OF
elections by the direct or indirect bribery
Of the same, the intimidation Of other
voters and the resort to any crooked and
Illegal schemes which may be devised to
accomplish the end.''
The Governor sees clearly enough
what should be done, and SAYS: II j.
our duty as an honest State to construct
scheme which shall work successfully
without the necessity OF federal int.r-
vention. Ohio is justly proud OF the in-
telligence and integrity of her people,
bu, II she has not resources and asen-
cies of her own sufficient to conduct an
election to a successful AMI honest emf
then we must inleed hang our heals
with shame" But hanging their heads
in shame will hardly help. What i.
wanted is that the penple of that State
shall agree to change the date Of theil
State election. Tsey sholld do thii
| without delay.

JACKsoN,s DAY IN OHIO.
Sound Resolutions Adopted.

COLUMBUS, Jan. THE folio wing
was unanimously adopted tonight by
the Executive Committee of the State
Democratic League and will be adopted
tomorrow In the Convention:
Whereas The highest duty OF citizen
ship is the preservation OF Democratic
self-government, the promotion Of off,
cial honesty, economical public expendi-
lures. strict accountability OF all public
officers for their official acts, the expo
sure and prevention of malleasance in
office. the reform of public wrongs and
abuses and the reduction of .ax burdens
to the lowest point consistent with, the
efficient administration of the Govern
ment, therefore this club is organized
upon the basis of the following declars-
ton of principles:,, a5a t, :, ,....
l. Public office shall be regarded as a
public trust to be executed for the ben
eft OF the whole people, not private
perquisite to subserye the personal ends
of the offlce-holder.. .,,.,.f -.
=, 2 We believe that reform in the
public civil service Is necessary, and that
while members of the Democratic party
should Oil the places of trust and re-
sponsiblity under Democratic admins
trations, they should be chosen with ref.
erence to their honesty, capahilitv, fitness
aud devotion to principle, rather than IA
mere spoilsmen, demanding share OF
public plunder as reward for pretended
party services.
8 We regard every dollar of unnec.
essary taxation, under whatever form or
lretext as robbery and in derogation Of
the peoples rights as guaranteed by the
I Constitution.
The time has come when corporate
capital and privileged monopolies should
no longer be fostered by the Govern
ment at the expense Of the masses of the
people.
5. We regard the corrupt use Of money
for the purpose of procuring nomina.
tions and elections to office as the great.
est danger that threatens representative
free government, and declare that nc
person engaged therein should be cho.
sen to any public office, elective or ap
poiniive.
6. We demand that in the selection o
members Of Congress and the State Leg
islature, none but men OF the highes
character and undoubted honesty, who
are above all suspicion of corruption and
lj1hbery, should be chosen, and that al
public officials, whether elected by tht
people or appointed TO Office, shollt
come up to the same high standard.
