means the iute decision of the u. ). Circuit
Court for Virginia. 20 The effect that the
coupon killer" biz. 10y iupairing the oor-
ustion of a contract, is unconstitutional,
and that therefore the coupons OF Virginia

meeting Of the citizens Ut that city 70 ex-
press earnest and emphatic approval OF the
course of Governor Cameron in instructing
the State officers 10 pay no attention to the
decision referred to, aud 10 refuse to receive

the fact hat ne Consultation is the supreme

TUE REGENT assertion of Mr.. Beford' d

Gratis all over the country to thinking II the

the civil war they have been co"eu, nave

and harmony aud the promotion OF thaI
good feeling which should snbslst among al
citizens of a common country. They now
doubt whether such a yielding policy mas
not rather hindered than promoted the ac-

whether it has not melted the repuo'lcahs
to persist in, aud increase their Efforts 10
continue sectional animosiics as the only

that they are rs much opposed TO system

TILE RESULT IN OHIO.

| The people of Ohio are to be congratulated
| for their patriotic zeal and their escape from a
corrupt government. Judge Foraker is to be
congratulated for his splendid conduct in a
| campaign against most experienced and
adrOit demagogue. The Republicans OF the
| Nation are to be congratulated upon the GER
tainty that a Republican Senator, probably
Senator Sherman, will be returned from Ohio.
| All who have discovered that President Cleve-
| lands Administration is one of shams and false
pretences are to be congratulated that the
PEOPLE show readiness to get rid of that sort
of Administration as soon as possible.
The incomplete returns seem to leave little
room for doubt as to the result. 1t rarely hap
pens that gains are reported, on the night of an
election, so invariably for one party, and so
large. 1t is significant that the Republican
vote on the Western Reserve was unusually
heavy, though this is not a year OF Presi-
dental or Congressional election. 1t is also
significant that heavy gains for the Republicans
are noticed in Democratic counties, marking
the disgust of Democrats with their own
Administrations, Federal and State. Another
noteworthy feature is that the German Repub-
licans appear to have rid themselves of all
decided that the party which furnished money
for Prohibition campaigns has no particular
claim on them. Perhaps the most significant
feature of all is the fact that the Prohibition
vote appears to have drawn about equally from
both parties. This means that the Republi-
cans, who have tried the support of third
party as means of forwarding their views as
to temperance have found that they were
serving as catspaws for the Democratic party
both in the election of 1888 and last year, and
have grown tired. But as they drop of, Demo-
Gratis who have become Disguised with the con-
duct of their own party have made the Prohlbi
ton ticket an excuse for voting against HOadly.
The Democratic party will quickly cease to
support Prohibition cam paigns with money
gathered from the saloons, if the net result is
to draw away more Democratic than Repub-
lican voters.
In Judging of the Ohio returns, it is proper to
compare with the latest election for Governor,
because there is no National or Congressional
ticket this year. In 1888 the Democrats
sought the election of Hoadly with desperate
earnestness because they knew it would 90
far to prepare the way for a Presidential
success So now, the people of Ohio have
defeated Hoadly as a means of expressing their
condemnation of Democratic Administration.
But State issues have the larger part in both
campaigns, and it is a matter of rejoicing that
the people Of Ohio are rid of the most dis
graceful government they have ever known.

MR.. HJLDS PECULIAR REFORM.

Governor Hill has shown himself ready to
approve anything that gives promise of secur-
ing him few votes. He announced his willing
ness to sign bill to prohibit the manufacture
of cigars in tenement houses, although the
Court Of Appeals decided such a Law to be I'M
constitutional He also said recently that while
he did not recollect Z" the provisions of the
Hooley Prison Bill s0-called," yet he "would
have no hesitation in approving it," 1t is hardly
necessary to comment on the character Of u
man who, as Governor, voluntarily promises TO
sign bill the provisions of which he confesses
himself ignorant.
/" If the Legislature in its wisdom should see
fit to pass measure to establish State
Printing Bureau the Governor also pledged
himself to sign that. His respect for the wis
dom of the Legislature, and his desire to reform
the methods of doing the State printing. are
entirely new, as will be seen by our Albany let
ter in to-day's TRIBUNE. When a member of
the Tweed Legislature he voted for all the
reckless bills by which the public money was
sauandcred on alleged Estate printing" His
course this year in killing an excellent reform
measure which would have saved the State con-
siderable of the comparatively small sum now
expended on State printing proves that in this,
as in other matters he has not mended his ways
since he WAS the attorney in the Legislature of
the Erie Ring and the servile tool of Tweed.
This measure was introduced in the Legslat-
ure by General Curtis. 1t afforded all the
printers of tho State fair opportunity to COM
pete in whole or in part for the State printing.
1t did away with the unnecessary waste of
printing State documents twice What was of
still more Importance it required the annual re-
ports of State officials to be printed and pre-
sented to the Legislature in time to be useful as
a guide to legislation, and it required the bills
and journals of the two houses to be printed
promptly, as check on loose legislation
These and many other wise provisions marked
this as perhaps the most important reform bill
OF tae session. But it nterfered with the pat
ronage enjoyed by some of Mr.. Hills Demo
cratic friends, and without giving any reason,
he refused to sign the bill.
As a fitting sequel he now thinks to catch
votes by promising to approve Of an enormous
expenditure for State printing establishment
"a scheme rejected by the same Legislature
which "in its wisdom passed this excellent
reform measure which the Governor killed.

THE BROOKLYN CANVASS.

Within a few days the Brooklyn campaign
will begin in earnest. For the first time IN
years the Democrats will take the initiative.
Ordinarily Boss" McLaughlin's method has
been to wait before making his nominations
until he saw whom his opponents had placed In
the field. This year the Democratic cOnven-
tons will be held first. The most important
office to be filed is that of Mayor, and the Re
publicans will probably know tomorrow night
the man that the Boss has chosen. 1t Is
SAFE to say that the nOminee-whoever he may
be-will be a tool of McLaughin's. No man
who is not his tool can be nominated by the
Democratic City Convention, although we have
no doubt that the Democratic organ in Brook
Ign will declare the candidate in every way
worthy untrammclled. unpledged. nom
partisan and fully fit to conduct the city gov
eminent for the next two years on business
principles. Nevertheless, the Brooklyn Democ-
racy, with some considerable exceptions, is abb
solutely under the control of Mclaughlin; the
party machinery is wholly so, and the candi-
dates must in every instance be acceptable to
the Boss
OF course such andidates-especially the
candidate for the most important city Office
zens who desire above all things a pure and
honest municipal Government The rank and
file of the Democracy have been so long de-
prived of patronage that they will put forth
every effort to elect their Mayor. As the DEM
ocrats have n large majority in Brooklyn, the
Republicans must nominate for this office n man
who will secure the vote of every Republican
and Independent citizen and also draw the
votes of those Democrats who are weary OF ring
rule and McLaughlinism. The importance of
this matter cannot be oyerestimated. 1t be-
hooves the Republicans to choose their candi-
date most carefully. Opinion in the party has
not yet concentrated upon any one man, but
there is more than one among the men most
talked of who would fill the Office satisfactorily
and be reasonably sure of election if proper
efforts are put forth. Tho nomination will not
be made until two weeks before election day.
The canvass will be short and lively. With the
best candidate available in the field, tho ReDub-
licans are almost sure to overcome Boss Me
Laugblin's man. Let no effort be relaxed to
secure this end.
