IN opportunity to attend the funeral
IF the Republican party. The same
scheme has been started just previous
to Presidential nominations, before
the present time. Any Republican
who takes calm view Of the situation
will readily understand that the only
possible result, if not the only aim, is
the injury of the Republican party.
Beware of the man who constantly
cries Doodle" no matter who he may
be, and the man who insinuates cor
rupt influences as having prompted
the action of the brave old Illinois
Senator, is totally unworthy of trust.
Gen. Logan's Republicanism has stood
the test of time and danger. He has
not been a Democrat because it suited
his purpose, and Republican for a
pastime. To assail Gen. Logan's char
acter as Republican is something so
extremely foolish that no intelligent
man ought to engage in it. There
has been no better. grander Republi-
can in this country than Logan, and
it will not do to go back on him be-
cause he does not deem it wise to oc-
cupy the time of the National Senate
in trying to prove the meanness of
the Ohio Democracy-a thing that
needs no proof
*,*
1t has been suggested that the DEM
ocrats are in doubt as to the advisa-
bility Of running a ticket IN Ohio this
Fall. No uneasiness need be felt on
that score. It will be no trouble to
find Democrat willing to sacrifice
himself for any race that may be
mentioned. Our experience is that
the more hopeless the prospect of sue
cess, the more ready is the Democrat
to make the race, and the harder he
will work. A Democrat somehow
feels that he is going to be defeated,
when he enters the race, and the re-
suit is no surprise to him, unless he
chances to pull through by some Re
publican mistake. There will be full
tickets in the field d-fguratively speak
ing, not a candidacy for Supervisor
will be left blank.

The Portsmouth Times objects to
the line Of reasoning that Mr.. Dever's
Republican friends should have sup
ported him for Judge because the
family, including the candidate him
self, have always been active, earnest
Republicans, the ground Of objection
being that politics should not enter
into the question of selecting Judge.
Well, dear friend, if you believe what
you affirm, there is a way for you to
demonstrate the fact. Just use your
influence with the Democrats Of the
District to make no nomination Of a
Democrat for the Judgeship, and thus
make the election of Mr.. Dever unan-
imous-it will be nearly so, any way.
The Chillicothe Leader is moved to
intimate that the nomination Of De-
yer was fixed, by fixing Jackson, and
parts of other counties. All this is
idle talk. Mr.. Dever is a good man
for the place, the nomination was
fairly and squarely made, the candi-
date will be overwhelmingly elected,
and everybody, or nearly everybody,
will be happy.

There is one difficulty in the matter
Of criminal prosecutions-confned al
most wholly to liquor cases-which
ought to be removed in some way, and
we believe a little vigorous work on
the part Of Courts and attorneys
would efectually remove it. The hu-
initiating picture is often presented of
witnesses shamelessly facing, in public
trials, those who know them to be ly-
ing, and deliberately swearing to what
they know to be false, in order to
shield some low-down doggery-keeper,
who would rob them Of their last cent
with as little compunction of con-
science as dog would tear the throat
Of a sheep. Even men with gray
hairs upon their heads, and who ought
to be making ready for their depar-
ture from earth, will sit upon the
witness stand and perjure their souls
with as much complacency as they
would exhibit in taking a drink.
There are work-houses and peniten-
tiaries for such fellows, and the soon
er they are run in the better for the
community, as we'll as for themselves.
1t is frequently the case that such
witnesses go into court with full
purpose of perjuring themselves rath-
er than tell on their masters, the dog
gery-keepers. Should few striking
examples be made of this class of wit
nesses, it would doubtless have a good
effect.

Mr.. Cleveland has been amusing
himself by vetoing Soldiers Pension
Bills, and the Democratic press try to
justify this conduct by the assertion
that the President is only trying to
shut out raids upon the Treasury by
unworthy claimants. This claim will
not do. There is abundant evidence
that a great part of this work of the
Democratic DraSidapt iS doDa for tb q
