IGNORANT REPUBLICANS.
The Columbus Dispatch said eiltorl.
ally the other day that President Cleye-
lands CaDiGet must be composed Of
obscure men. from the fact that great
many OF its subscribers write TO II In
Qulrlng who they are. This Ia no EVIL
eenoe OF their 0bacurity, The bulk OF
the Ignorant and unint0rmed people OF
this country balong TO the Republican
party, and that they are ignorant Of the
names Of our leading statesmen Ia not
singular. They are equally ignorant OF
the numblr aud names OF the States that
form the Republic, and all other current
political topics. That Ia the reason they
vote the Republican ticket and twaddle
about Democratic free trade.
A WONDERFUL BILL
That profound Statesman from LoraiD,
| G. @, Washburn, has a bill prepared TO
divide the people OF Ohio into two classes,
known as total abslainers" aud "con.
1rmed drink, rs," the latter 10 pay 30
cents o year for license TO drink. He
ought 10 provide for third class called
"darned fools," Of which the Statesman
from Loraln would stand as the living
head and exponent. W.A.T I.
COLUMBUS, January l0.-Now that the
question OF the corrupt use OF money In
politics has been made prominent and
living issue In tho State Capital, | am
pleased TO and a great many honest Re-
publlcans jolDlng with honest Demo
Gratis and demanding that " DO exposed
I and stamped out, They express regret
that the pending investigation does not
/, 40 far enough TO expose the methods OF
Ex-Governor Foster as well as the
DOODLE gang, which for two years has
cursed and paralyzed the Democratic
lparty. They frankly admit the Doodle
\ gangs methods have only been copied
4 from Foster and his colleagues, and that
] one gang Of them Ia no better and no
worse than the other.
There Ia healthful lesson 10 ba
learned from the present condition Of
affairs, laid down as an axiom by Car.
dinal Woolsey that
CORRUPTION WINS NOT MORE THAN
HONESTY"
Corruption may flourish and succeed
for time, but its life 10 at best the life
OF the mushroom, and its end like the
end OF the mushroom Is stencil and
, putrefaction. The political corruption
OF both the gangs In Ohio has now
reached that stage, and powerful dis
infectant 10 needed.
