"THE mills of the gods grind slowly
but they grind exceeding fne." Since
the election of Hesry B. Payne to the
Senate, there has been ne cessation of
talk about the corruption and fraud that
was INDUCED in to compass that result.
The charges and specifications are from
Democratic sources, from men high In
the councils of the Democracy. and they
have become so specific and pointed, that
a double disgrace will rest upon the
state, if they are not investigated. The
time is ripe and the demand is universal
with all honest msB, that the charges as
to the methods resortsd to in the elec+
tion of Senator Payne be Investigated.
the bottom probed. and justice be meted
out to all If political crime has been
committed, let the guilty parties suffer
the ignominy to which they will be con
signed by people who prize honesty and
justice above party.

The prominent citizens of Cincinnati
gave complimentary banquet to ex-
Governor Hoadly Saturday night. Cows
ernor Foraker was present and in short
speech he spoke strongly in favor of a
pure ballot. The report in the Enquirer
contains the following:
SAID Governor Foraker, his eyes fash
ing ire and his face aglow with his eliot
ouent and passionate utterance: ut is
rot the Democratic party. not the Re-
publican party, but the internal scoun+
drels who belong to both who commit
the crimes against the ballot. 1t is not
8 political question at all, but one which
affects all alike"
1t is undoubtedly the internal scoun
dreIs in the two parties who perpetrate
the awful crimes upon the ballot box.
but the difficulty is that the great major
ity Of these scoundrels are in the Demo
cratic party. Those in the Republican
party are kept in the rear and punished,
while Democratic scoundrels invariably
reach the front ranks of the Democracy
and are promoted, as Mike Mullen was,
for their political crimes. The strong
holds of Democracy are the strongholds
of political corruption. Captain Ander-
son, lifelong Democrat of Cincinnati,
and q member of the committee of one
hundred, has said that after thorough
of the last October election
he had concluded that the only organized
fraud in that city is ia the Democratic
Leader.

The reelection Of John Sherman to
the Z. s. Senate gave the most lively
satisfaction to Republicans of this sec>
tion. 1t is gratifying to know that bis

ton, and he returns to the Senate be-
cause the overwhelming sentiment of
his party in Ohio, declares that he has
been faithful to the interests OF the pee-
pie Of Ohio and Of the whole country.
John Sherman stands the peerless states
man of bis day. and Ohio honors herself
in continuing to honor him.

TIE administration appears to be
catching it, at the hand Of the grave and
dignified Democratic Senators, who are
taking especial pleasure in making it
lively for the executive statesman. The
Republicans are enjoying tbs fun, and
are disposed to let the Bourbon orators
have free swing in pouring out their
denunciations on the President, especial
ly on the silver question. Messrs. Vance.
Beck, Pugb, Brown and Eustis, party
leaders, are improving the opportunity,
and are making vigorous attacks upon
the President of their own choosing.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer through
their well-kncwn correspondent Gath. y
has opened up its batteries against the
Cleveland adminiStr alton. Mr. Town
send, il lengthy an.i cutting onslaught
upon the President, says: "Thc Cabinet
is close corporation. pretty well cowed
by the President" that the gentleman
with the big neck. at the head of the
government, and with his invisible cleav-
er in his hand, cutting up public busi>
ness like beefsteaks, or other aticles of
butchery, is throwing off little rhapso-
dies upon virtue as the sum of all things.
and proceeds with his study of govern
meHt after midnight."
Following are some extracts which
show the tendency of the Enquirer's att
tack:
The President is generally credited
with the best intentions. though some
remark that be has postponed them
rather late in life, and seems by the vig-
or with which he expresses them to have
gathered them in that general quarry of
good intentions where things are hot.
Up to the latest advices he had couclu-
ded not to have any policy, but to let
Congress pass bad laws, as he seems to
expect it will. and he will chop them off
with the cleaver. The President has
been so long in the censtabulary.
distraining and hanging as sheriff.
keeping bachelors hall in cid Buf
alo warehouses. and dominating the
lager beer saloons, that he takes policy
like prescriptions. The trouble with
the Executive is high self-esteem, great
ly assisted by outside appreciation. With
his hard head, he despises counsel unless
it comesto hinfrom outsiders, mixed with
adulation. He has none of the appre+
tensions which have made other Presi+
dents discreet, who have felt their re-
sponsibillties to the party, and of the
party toward the people. He has per-
suaded himself that he derived all his
honors from his superiority and his
lucky star.
