THE Democratic organs are raising a
piteous howl at the partisan" removal
of the Democratic officials of the Ohio
penitentiary, and of the Ohio Institu-
ton for the Blind, at Columbus. 1t may
not be inquisitive to inquire how it hap
pened that these officials were all Demo-
Gratis. Did the last State government
turn all the Republicans out of these
institutions? Possibly, a full under
standing concerning these matters would
aid in solving the why's and wherefores
of the situation.
