Hillsboro public school! The industrial
school is failure and is going out of

public school Of the present day is doing
just what it should do, and 1t can dc
nothing more. A few years ago the

The various methods OF procedure
adopted by the Standard Oil Company
t. elect H. B. Payne surpass in audacity
all tho political legerdemain perform.
ances in the history of the country.
Within two days of his election no one
regarded his candidacy with any degree
OF seriousness. The boom was for Sena.
tor Pendleton, and the latter gentleman
has said openly that enough votes had
been pledged to him to elect him; bnt
at the last moment Ohio's gang of booc-
lers arrived on the scene with stacks OF
specie, which was disposed of miscel-
laneously without stint and the result
was Psyne's election! Hardly had the
vote been announced when charges OF
bribery became rife in all quarters. The
fact that the majority of Legislature
had been bought was enough to rouse
the people OF the entire State when they
were apprised Of it. The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette began striking while
the iron was hot, and it has been strik.
ing hard enough to keep it hot ever
since. And now, not least remarkable
OF the circumstances connected with
Payne's election, the U. S. Senate has
refused to investigate the charges laid
against him. No man ever sat in the U.
S. Senate and heard such charges made
against him without rising to demand
an investigation. He sat there as dumb
as a cast-iron gate post under the torrid
oratory Of Senator Frye, but his blanch.
ed face only told of what he heard and
felt. May justice rain double thunder
bolts on Ohio's scoundrels and may this
piece of work have no parallel in the
history OF the country

No stronger candidate for the Common
Pleas Judgeship will be before the Judi.
cial Convention in this district than
Judge H. NJ. Higgins. His career be-
fore the public has been such as to rec.
ommend him for continuance in the
Office which he holds, and no charge Of
incompetency can be justly brought
against him. There are other candi-
dates in the field who would fill the
Office with efficiency, but Republicans
should examine very carefully into the
merits of any aspirant before they think
OF removing man who has served the
people 80 faithfully and SO well. Judge
Higgins has graced the bench, and in
justice to himself and to the people de.
serves the nomination for another term.

1881 to elect a Republican.
These comparisons might be car
ried on clear through this scandal
lous bill or rump law.
And this bill gives thirteen Re
publican Congressmen certain, with
about an equal chance with the.
Democrats for two more. Ii gives
the Democrats five Congressman
certain, and chance for two more.
In no event, according to the vote
of 1885, can the Democrats get over
seven out of the twenty-one Con-
gressmen-unless a cyclone should
visit the State as it did in 1882,
when the Republicans had just en-
acted the same redistricting bill
which they have now just re-enact-
ed. If a similar result follows the
Democrats may gain several Con
gressmen. But it is to be seen
whether or no the people will rebel
against this scandalous, outrageous
redistricting law. If the people car
swallow and sanction the outrage.
Gus acts of seating ten men in the
House and four in the Senate who
were not elected, they can surely
swallow the districting scandal.

By looking over the figures.efthe
new Congressional ~districting in
fanny no fairminded man can but
be struck with utter establishment
at the unfairness and inequality dis
closed therein. A few specimens
will suffice for the present. Form
stance, in the Sixteenth District it
takes a population of 177,66S to
elect one Democratic Congressman,
while in the Fourteenth District it
requires but 1881 of a popula-
ton to elect Il Republican Con
gresham. A difference of nearly
$4,000 less in a Republican THANH
a Democratic district.
Take, again, the Third District,
with a population of 139,257, elect
ing a Republican Congressman,
while in the Fourth adjoining it, it
take 153,20S of a population to elect
a Democrat-almost 1900 differ
ence in favor of the Republicans.
The Fifth District swamps five DEM
ocratic counties, with population
of 161,4S6, and the Sixth five more
Democratic counties, with a popu-
lation of 1884. Next is the Sew
enth District, with apopulation OF
only 1873, 900 elects a Republican,
difference of 2O,534. The Ninth is
equally small, while the Tenth re-
quires a population of 154,S51 to
elect a Democrat. The Thirteenth
or Columbus District requires no.

Gov. Hill of New York, who has
been represented as u%nfriendly to

his praise at a recent banquet of

"We havea President whose hon
esty and sincerity of p3rpase to
serve the people faithfully is con-
coded by everyone. He mayImake
mistakes, but what public man
does not make them? Permit me
to suggest at this time that our OPP
ponents cannot disturb our equa-
nimity by intimating that we are
disappointed by the spoils of office.
There is no such disappointment.
The Democratic party has higher
aims and purposes than the mere
distribution Of party patronage.
We must not forget that the presi-
dent, in his desire to reform abuse
and to give the country a better
government by agents selected by
himself, has been obstructed by an
adverse senate. Faithful men have
been rejected or their nominations
have not been acted upon at all, be-
cause they had been active party
men and that was ALL"

The Cleveland Plain Dealer in
referring to the outrageous action
of Republican manufacturers in
trying to force their employees to
support the Republican ticket,
truthfully remarks:
"The colored employees ofRepub-
lican manufacturers at Chattanooga
have been notified that if they did
not vote at the primaries for certain
candidates for county offices, their
services WILDE dispensed with. This
is only a repetition of what Repub-
lican manufacturers have done time
and again in the city of Cleveland.
The colored voters in the South
have come to realize that the Re-
publicans have no use for them ex-
cept at election time. The only
sincere friends the colored people
of the South have are the Demo
Gratis, and they have come to real
ize this fact and for that reason they
vote fortheirinterest the Democrat
ic ticket. For twenty years the Re
publicans have used honeyed words
and have been very profuse in their
promises, but the fact remains that
they have not fulfilled these pro-
misses. And now, when the Repub-
licans find that their promises &c
for naught, they have taken coer.
Give measures to steal away the
colored mans manhood. The DAYS
when such outrages could go I'M

who think to gain temporary ad.

The New York Evening Post In

The New York Euening Post Ind.
Rep.,) thus comments on the re-
suit:
The victory of the Democrats in the Oregon
election is an event of no little significance.
Oregon is a State where a majority of the
voters are by tradition and habit Republican
and a good Republican ticket in the campaign
just closed would undoubtedly have been
easily elected. But the management of the
party has fallen into the hands of a corrupt
ring, and the disgust of the Independent Re-
publicans became so pronunced that enough
of them on Monday refrained from voting or
voted for the Prohibitorv nominee to let the
Democratic candidate carry the election. The
result indicates not a revival of the Democratic
party in the far northwest, but a decadance of
the Republican party. Other events happen
ing in the nearer west and i'll the east illustrate
the same tendency.
The Post goes on to comment on
recent Republican operations in
Illinois, New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts,
and declares "the decentralization
in the party has gone so far and is
so widespread as to make recovery
! seem hopeless"
