"It is a practice of the Republican par

Opinion of Acknowledgement
Lawrence Upon the Subject.
The Yellow Springs Board of Edu-
cation have been perplexed for some
weeks over the mixed school ques-
ton. They finally determined to OBJ
tain an opinion from the Attorney
General of Ohio 10 guide them in
their action. Some colored children
have this year been sent to the white
school in the Springs. The Board re-
allied that if they admitted the chill
dren the school would very likely be
broken up, as many of the white par
ents declared that if the colo:ed chill
dren were admitted they would take
their children from the schools. AS a
good school was provided for the col
ored children it was not thought nee
essary by the Board to allow them the
privileges of the white school. They
therefore secured the opinion of the
Acknowledgement. Following is q
copy of the opinion:

ing any ~perceptible admixture of AT

dren by the community where they
reside, are not as of right entitled t.
admission to the schools set apart fol
white youth. To authorize the exclu
sion of colored children, however, the
separate school established for then
must be reasonably accessible ant
must afford facilities corresponding il
a reasonable degree with the facilitie
afforded by the schools for white chill
dren.
Second-Section 4.009, Revised Stat

cation to organize separate schools TO

it deems best that, notwithstanding!

Dayton Democrat.

One of the most difficult things the Re-
publican party will have ever been cali
ed upon to apologize for ami defend, was
the treatment of General Mcclellan when
in command of the armies of Virginia
and the Potomac. There is ~''secret his
tory' connected with his command and
removal, which Republican statesmen,
who are in command of it, will never
make public. There is not the slightest
doubt thathad General Mcclellan valued
his principles so lightly as to be willing
to allure Democracy and espouse Repub
licanlsm he would have became the Gen.
Grant of history. The fear of the secret
history" OF his removal is suggested in
the rashness in which the Republican
press rushes to show that he was not capa-
BILE, &C., &c. Times will probably show
that his sterling Dem alone caused
his removal; that with certain Republi-
can in high places at that time the sal
vation Of the Republican party was of far
greater moment than the salvation of the
Union, and that Gen. Mcclellan was the
victim of one of the most damnabla con-
spiracies of modern times. General Por-
ter knows something and may talk.

A Desirable Change.
New York WOrld.1

The Ohio election has accomplished
one desirable result. The adoption of
the constitutional amendment has
abolished the October elections and
made election day hereafter for State
officers the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November
The October State elections in Ohio
and Indiana have been ii prolific
source Of corruption for many years.
Both parties have concentrated their
efforts on those States in ORDER to win
a victory that would have its effects
in the November elections. This has
led to the most unblushing frauds ard
corruptions, and respect for the purity
of the ballot-boX hats been in u meas
ure destroyed.
The elimination ofthis ~iniquity was
in Indiana in 1880. when the honest
verdict of the State. unmi-takablv
foreshadowed for the Democracy, was
changed by the most wholesale and
open bribery and corruption on the
part of the Republicans perhaps ever
practiced in any country. Coloniza-
ton, bailot-bOX stuffing, false count
ing and all the frauds procurable by
the unlimited use of money were the
means resorted to by Dorsey and his
associates, the managers of the cor
ruption fund raised in this city by
bankers and railroad monopolists who
desired the success of the Republican
party. They were successful, and so

the crimes of Vice-PreSidcnt Arthur,

boosted of the efficacy Of "soap" in
the Indiana election.
The October election had already
been abolished in Indiana. IL happily

Election sui

The result of the elections on the 3rd
of this month, is certainly very gratifying
to the Democracy of the country. The
Democratic state ticket in New York has
about IL, 900 plurality. Governor Hill
ran slightly ahead ofhiS ticket. The legis-
~lature, Notwithstanding Democratic gains
is Republican. The rout of Malone in
Virginia is complete. Lees majority is
nearly 80 1000, and there is an overwhelm-
ing Democratic majority in the legisla-
ture. Maryland has given alarger Dem
%ocratic majority than ever, and in Mis-
sissippi there was no organized Republi-
can opposition. Massachusetts, gives
| about $4,000 Republican majority, with
an increased Democratic representation
IN the legislature. Connecticut elects ar
increased Democratic representation ir
the legislature, but hat body is still Re
publican. Pennsylvania gives 10000 Re
publican majority. In New Jersey the
Republicans made some legislative gains
In Iowa the Republicans only got 7,OO(
plurality! When such states as Iowa be
gin to falter for Republicanism, the
foundations OF the Republican party mus
be almost gone. The elections In Kan
sas, Nebraska, Colorado and Illinois wer'
local only and the results have no politi
cal significance.

NO BREAK IN TREE LINE.
ICleyeland Plain Dealer.

The important and essential point
in consideration of the elections this
year is that the Democratic position
as the dominant party in this country
has not been shaken. More than that,
it is a just and logical conclusion from
ofresults that the Dem
ocratIc party is more firmly e%ntrench-
ed in power than it was after the cleo
ton that made Grover Cleveland
president.
The Republicans assaulted the DEM
ocratic line in two points. 1t was pro-
posed to break the solid south by
making Virginia a Republican state
and TO overcome the narrow majority
by which the Democrats carried New
York one year ago. To this end, and
because unless this is done Republi-
can chances of success are hopeless,
John Sherman and John A. Logan,
who are candidates for the Republic
can presidential nomination., and o
horde of lesser political politicians
turned themselves loose upon those
two states.
Tie result was failure inboth direc-
tons. Virginia not only stands firm
in the Democratic line, but the result
there puts an end to any and all hopes
that the Republicans may have had of
breaking the solid south in 1888.
There will be no more talk hence
forth, or at least for some years, about
any southern state being carried by
the Republicans.
In New York it has been demon
strated that the Democrats have an in
vincible majority of their own with
out any regard to the mugwumps.
Cleveland's majo ity ola few hun
dred has been changed to as many
thousand for Hill.
The states that elected a Democratic
president IL year ago are shown to
be loyal to the administration and that
the Democratic party in them is
stronger than it was when the admin
istration was chosen. The result goes
to show that if the Democratic party
continues to act wisely and prudently
it will be succeeded by another Dem
ocratic administration in 1888, and
nothing that the Republicans can do
will avail to prevent that resd.t.
This is the practical lesson of this
years elections.

The colored Illinois barber who
refused to shave another colored man
and was sued for $500 damages offers
as q defense the plea that if he had
shaved the fellow his business would
have been damaged to that extent,
This is a case where a white mans
law for the black is rendered inoper
alive by white mems prejudices, te
which more than one black man is
compelled to cater. Laws on such
subjects never do any good, but as 6
rule retard the very federation which
they seek to encourage.

The late election returns show that the
Prohibitionists hold the balance Of power
ia fifteen counties in this State, as fol-
lows: CIermont, Delaware, Franklin,
Hardin, Knox, Lucas, Morrow, Paulding'
Preble, Stark, Van Vert, Wayne, Vim
ton, Hamilton and Williams. These
fifteen counties elect twenty-seven repre-
sentatives. If the Prohibitionists hold
their vote for two years, and throw it in
favor of legislative candidates in favor Of
stirring up the liquor question, they may
make things interesting. There is only
one way in which q movement of thai
kind can be headed off, and that is by the
passage OF a high tax law which would
take the issue out of politics, practically

As the business OF the country is alb
sorbing agreater amount of money at the
rate of from two to three millions of dol
lars a week, business must necessarily be
improving. The New York bank state
ment, which in August showed a surplus
of over sixty millions of dollars, now holds
less than thirty millions owe and above
the reserve required by law. The signs
are indeed propitious yet there are locali-
ties in which manufacturing interests are
at a low ebb, but there are now not many
intelligent and observing men who are
not hopeful of an early and general revi-
val in business.

Lima Times. |

The Republican party introduced
the fashion of visiting statesmen and
disreputable cheating by such re
spectacle people as John Sherman
and ex Governor Noyes, and are con
sequently very liable to suspect eve
rybody else of their W practices.
They think whenever respectable
Democrats appear at any point where
an election is in doubt, that they
come to steal, as John Sherman and
Governor Noy es did when they went
to Louisiana and Florida. Like the
guilty rogues, who are always afraid
of being caught, their sensitive con.
sciences make them see an officer in
every bush.

200, 747 900 acres of the public lands,
worth $441 ,497 900 have been squander-

into power not an acre OF the public lands
had ever been thus disposed Of.
