THE Washington Post, an acknOWl~
edged Democratic organ, which for sew
eral months past has contended that
HoadIy's nomination would be a fearful
blunder, in referring to the action of the
Ohio Democratic convention, exhibits a
degree of frauknesS which is truly re-
treshiDg 1t speaks thus:
1t is hardly worth while worrying
over Ohio. Life is too short and emo.
tion too eXhauSting to jastify one in
squanderiug his energies in such aD alb
surd direction. The Democrats of that
amazing State have vindicated the most
injurious predictions of their enemies
and realized the worst fears of their
friends. They have renominated as
much of the old ticket as they convent
emily could, and have reatfirmed in every
possible way their pride and satisfaction
in the record they have so laboriously
constructed during the past two years.
As an object lesson in infatuatiOn they
may have some point. but as relative
in politics they are disheartening and
tlreSome.
Considered in a purely intrinsic light,
the Ohio platform is really an entertain
ing document. 1t is worthy of the nom-
inee who is its peculiar exponent. After
its felicitating the Ohio Democracy. all
the country, and the universe generally
upon the situation Chat of OhiO) the
platform says: "Third-We approve the
measures taken by Democratic Con-
gress for preventing the acquisition of
earned lands by railroad companies, and
Democratic President in firmly holding
| In fpr FNuI,ljn
venting their unlawful occupation"
ut is now about seven years since
there was Democratic Congress, but
very likely the news has just reached
the present leaders IN Ohio; SO that their
rejoicngs, if chrOnOlogically irregular,
are at least sentimentally creditabe; and
the fact that they have only this mo-
ment heard of that Democratic Con-
greSs may account for their not having
heard at all of what respectable people
think of their performance during the
past two yearS-thus explaining the 9TH
erwise ineXplicable clause of the platr
form which says: 'Fifth-We commend
the administration of Gov. HOadly, and
the work of the Sixty sixth General AS
sembly as wise, honest, and economical
They will find out about this later, per
hapS.
1T actually fatigues one to contem-
plate such violent stupidity as all that
implies but, on the other hand, it is ex-
asperating to observe that the only
thing that they could possibly have done
to soften down the asperities of Hoadly's
nomination, and Articles 8 and of
the platform, was omitted. There is
not single word of commendation of
the Presidents civil service pOlicy-the
only pronounced feature of his admins
tration thus far-DOt a word to indicate
that the Ohio Democracy are in sympa-
thy with the active principle of reform
which Mr.. Cleveland's election has lib
Grated and set in motion. The depress-
ing dead level of insensibility and strong
headedness remains undisturbed even by
the faintest ripple.
at is not in order to say that the Ohio
Democrats are doomed to certain defeat.
In saying that they deserve it we say
all the occasion iustiies."

PROHIBITION IN POLITICS.

Prohibition is well enough in its way,
but when it is brought into politics and
made party issue it is decidedly out
Of place. We have an example Of what
prohibition amounts to in this State in
the An.i.treat Law. This Of course is
not a strict measure, that is it does not
prohibit a man from selling liquor or
from drinking it, but it was the first
step toward strict prohibition. The
law is a dead letter, and will probably
never be enforced, if it is not repealed
at the next session of the Legislature.
We also have striking example in the
defeat Of Blaine, what prohibition can
do in politics. 1t simply defeated the
most able man for the Presidency, that
the world has ever produced. Prohibi.
ton should be barred from politics.
Temperatures lodges in communities do
good, but when carried further, nothing
but harm can be the result.
