The New York Euening Post (edited by

the chief Of the mugwump and free-trade
organs, and its utterance with regard to the
failure of a democrat-Mr. William T.

named for the presidency by the democratic
Sun some time ago, is commented on as
follows, by the Ohio State Journal:
The New York Post notes the failure Of
w. T. Coleman & Co.. notes the fact that
this firm attributes its failure TO the apprs-
hension caused by the Mills bill putting

at the calamity of the firm, and executes a
ssrt of fiendish war dance over the failure
1t Is one of the ssddest and most sinister
facts of our political history, and one that
admits of no explanation short of madness,
that the free-traders Of this country, &C

the ruin of American business and indus

The wholesomeness Of republican rule
has been illustrated in no city in the
country more forcibly than it has
been in Cincinnati during the past
three or four years. There has been
achieved, quietly and surely, great
moral and political revolution, 1t is not
many years ago since the administration of
injustice by the local authorities was SO
fiagrantly corrupt that even murder was not
considered as a crime and the county jail
was means of protecting rather than pun
ishing scoundrels. Then came that terrible
mob, which will always be lurid figure in
the history of Cincinnati. Then came the
ballot-box stuffing and bulLdozing period
when the decent citizen was as surely dis
franchised as black man was in
South Carolina and Mississippi. Then
there was no Sunday in Cincinnati. except
a continental Sunday, on which
there was more dissipation and
turbulence than on any other
day of the week. Then the police were
hand-in- hand with the saloon-keepers and
other people who rode rough-shod over the
laws, utterly disregarding statutes and with
perfect and universal immunity. At length
the republicans in the legislature enacted
the Dow law and republican mayor was
elected in Cincinnati. This Dow law was
a law that was enforced. Every liquor
seller in Cincinnati paid his annual fine Of
500 or $500. and every such person now
pays his $3.50 fine, or quits. Cincinnati
now has a fair and impartial mayor who
has given the saloon-keepers fair oppor-
tunity to obey the laws of their own notion,
but large portion of them having failed to
do so, he is forcing them to do it, with the
best police force Cincinnati has ever
known. The saloon-keepers are made to
obey the laws. ON week days and on Sun
days, and the people of Cincinnati have at
last, an American instead of Continental
Sunday, and they have at every cleo
ton a free ballot and fair count. The
bummers have been sent to the rear; the
power of the gang is forever broken. The
men who were on top, few years ago, are
either now in the penitentiary or on their
way there, or are at home, shorn Of power
and influence. Cincinnati is a new city.
The credit for all of this must be awarded
to the republicans large element among
them being Germans-and to honest
and clean democrats, who acted with
them. Not little praise should be be-
slowed upon the Commercial Gazette and
the Times1Stdr-the last named having
taken the more advanced ground on the
liquor question, but the first named has
made commendable progress in this line
even, and it has certainly fought most
heroic fight against the gang. Let the
credit that is due be awarded where it Is
due-and let the country look at this object
lesson, illustrating the achievements and
the whOlesomeness of republican rule.
Then like story could be told of the good
fruits of republican rule-after and In con-
trast with a regime of democratic misman-
agement, corruption. anarchy and blood
shed-at Chicago.
