the Cincinnati police force, sentenced
10 one year for arrestinR and incarcera
ting negro voters ia Cincinnati at tbs
recent National election. He defended
John Roach against the action Of Sec
rotary whitney, aud declared that IN
der the rule laid down IN the case of
Roach none but fool or a madman
would take contract Of the Govern
msnt to construct ship or anything
else. He declared that even the ordi
nary collection of revenue IL obstructed
by the demagoguism which pre-
ceded the last election. Illicit distil-
leFies abounded in the South IN the be-
lief that a Democratic victory meant
free whiskey. While he believed that
President Cleveland meant to enforce
the civil service Law, removals were
made daily for purely partisan purposes,
mainly by the Postmaster General, at
the rate of 200 day. He closed by q
few words in regard TO the Temperance
issue In Ohio, and said he believed the
temperance question should not enter
the pale of party politics. He believed
