The following is a sample senti-
ment expressed by many leading
Republicans of the state who are
not crazed by desire for office, on
the recent revolutioninthe Senate:
"The first things charged against
the Democrats are respectable COM
pared with the revolutionary acts of
our own leaders. We had the Dem
ocrats in a hole when they left the
Senate, but now the Republicans
are in a worse hole, by reason of
the advice of Judge West and the
revolutionary acts of the Republi-
can minority of the Senate. The
burden that was upon the shoulders
Of the democratic party is now up
on the shoulders of the Republican
party"

Under Republican rule it grew
into a proverb that of office holders
few die and none resign. Since we
have a Democratic administration,
designations are quite common.
Two weeks ago the postmaster at
Baltimore resigned, and more re-
Gently the Assistant Secretary of
the Interior resigned. 1t is pretty
plain that the Democrats are not so
hungry for Office as Republican or
ators and Republican newspapers
have been trying these many years
to make them out.

Death ofGen. Durbin ward.

Gen. DURBIN WARD died at his
in Lebanon on Saturday
afternoon last, in the 9th year of
his age. He was born at Augusta,
Bracken county, KY. The imme-
diate cause of his death was blood
poisoning. In speaking of his
death the Cleveland Plain Dealer
remarks: Ohio had not within its
confines an honester man or more
patriotic citizen than Durbin Ward.
and the news of his death will be
heard with unfeignedr egretin every
section of the state which he has SO
thoroughly canvassed so many
times. Men liked him for his plain
and homely ways, but when occa.
sion demanded it he was as ~courtly
as a prince. In politics he was
originally a Wing, but afterthe or
ganization of the Know Nothing
party and the dissolution of the
Wing party he joined the Demo
cratic party, and after the war, il
which he served calamity, receiv
ing a very severe wound, he became
one ofthe most prominent amongs
all the Democrats of Ohio. He wa;
once nominated for attorney gen
eral, but was beaten, with his ticket
at the polls. He made enc or tw'

course, had no idea of Election whel

It is true that the editor of the

in early life possessed by some of

induces some shallow-brained DON
keys to "dead beat" their way

noses into other peoples business
to the neglect of their own. We are
free to confess that what education
we possess was secured at the print
ter's case, and while we might have
done better, had the circumstances
of our youth been different, we are
not ashamed of the fact that we
have worked ever since boyhood,
and that our hands and head have
earned every dollar we possess, and
more too. 1t might, therefore, be
better for the drones and brain
less squirts, who hang around the

1t is gratifying.to know that the

on very satisfactorily. During the

year the reduction reached $S7, 971,-
