The result of the election in Ohio,
while surprise on account of the
overwhelming majority, was moth
ing but the legitimate outcome of
the course of the Republicans ofthat
State. Their State Convention
adopted downright, square-toed,
all-wool and yard-wide, old fash
ioned platform. Senator Sherman
made the campaign squarely on that
platform. Every Democrat and
Mugwump in the country raised the
cry of bloody shirt" against It, but
the Senator, conscious of the right
eousness of his cause and having
faith in the love of right and justice
of the men of Ohio, pursued the even
tenor of bis way to his magnificent
victory. The prohibition candidate
for Governor showed unexplainable
virulence toward the Republican
party and its candidates. This was
sll the more dangerous because the

fool and bogus reformer has cost

For this large sum OF money which
the county is compelled to pay, the
taxpayers get absolutely nothing;
and the Commercial while it has the
m alignant satisfaction of having put
the defendants to some cost, is slap
ped in the face with verdicts of "Not
Guilty" by the honest and consc:-
entious jurors whom it labored to
prejudice in advance of the trials,
and has the fees of its private coon-
sci to pay out of its own Golfers; for.
to their credit be it said. not sim
gle citizen responded to its begging
appeal for financial aid to carry on
its private prosecutions.
A few words more in further ex-
PLANTATION. The Act OF Assembly of
1S45 under which our Poor House
was incorporated fixes the compen-
sation of the Directors at $40 per
annum; subsequent act fixed it at
$50 per annum: but ior many years
the Directors have construed this
compensation to mean only for their
services at the House and farm, and
have charged in addition for their
services and expenses while visiting
"out door" paupers, and the chill
dren of paupers under their official
care. There has been no conceal
ment about this matter, no attempt
a. fraud.a every annual statement"
published in the county papers set
forth this additional charge,
as reference thereto will show.
There is also further Act
of Assembly-about the construc-
ton of which leading members of
the Bar differ, which would give the
Directors 500; but in the late trial
the Court ruled that it did not re-
peal the former Act, by which the
Directors were bound.
Now. by going to the records, and
their public statements, the money
which they drew in excess of $50
under a mistaken view of the law,
could have been easily ascertained,
a stated case" could have been
made up and submitted to the
Court. Judge Baer would have de.
cided that $50 was the limit of their
compensation, the additional pay
would have beer refunded, and il
would not have cost the county a
cent. Another thing. While the
report of the Committee was in
stric. accordance with the facts as
they came to their knowledge, yet it
was necessarily one-sided investi-
CATION, and was confined to the four
years ending with the last annual
statement. Thus there was an APP
parent deficiency on account ofmon-
les owing, not then paid in, which
have since been received and ac-
counted tor, and thus the apparent
deficiency found by the Committee
is measurably wiped out.
In short, after raking the county
with fine tooth comb in search OF
evidence tojustify the shameful viii
ifcation of these officials, and pro-
cure their conviction as criminals,
nothing was discovered to justify a
fair and upright man in commenc-
ing criminal proceedings. And
when the Defendants went upon the
stand and under oath, told their
simple straightforward stories, there
was not a spectator in the Court
room who did not agree with the
Jurors in their verdict Of ''Not Gull
ty."
