Paternity OF the Republican Party.


To the Editor of the Republic:
The discussion which has arisen out of
the claim made by some friend of the late
Des aeon White. of the old Pittsburg Gazette,
that he was the founder Of the republican
p,rty, has led to some confusion of claims,
and statements of others, from which we
may safely infer that which is the simple
truth, that the old party was a child of
many parents.
deacon" White was great and useful
man in his day and generation; having been
for time under the training and instruc-
ton of John Ssxton Of the cid Ohio Re
p psttory at Canton, it is fair to claim him
q, an Ohio-made man. He could get from
John Saxton nothing but what was honest,
pure and of good report.
It may be admitted that the republican
party had no actual existence, as an orr ami

A very significant fact stands out in the
foregoing. 1t is that the Germans of Gin
cinnati have expressed their approval at
the polls of the party that has established
local option, increased the saloon tax to
$3.50, and applied it to beer sellers as well
as whisky sellers. This should be instruc
tive to the Hamilton county delegation in
the legislature, and to a number Of other
people. The Germans are a sober and
thrifty race, and they are in favor of a
lawful and orderly administration Of gov
eminent There are beer drinkers amo0g
them as there are among other races, but
Germans as a class are among our most
intelligent and worthy citizens, and the
derunciation Of republicans by certain pro
hibitionists because the Germans vote with
us are utterly puerile and pointless. 1t is
very creditable to the Germans and to the
republicans that they do this.
