A special to the Ohio State Journal from
Washington, dated May 2lst, has this i'm
portant statement:
IAN Ohio democrat in confidential talk
this morning. said that when a vote came
to be taken on the bill in its present condi-
ton, providing the Mills proposition was
accepted, twelve democrats, including RAN
dali, would be recorded against the meas
ure. He would not name the gentlemen,
but said they would be from the following
states: Three from Pennsylvania, three
from New York, two from Connecticut, two
from New Jersey, one from Ohio and one
from South Carolina, and possibly one from
Georgia However, the supporters of the
bill have reason to believe that enough re-
publican votes will be secured to more than
offset any defections. At 8 meeting of the
ways and means committee today it was
unanimously agreed that the tariff bill
should be set aside until Wednesday.
Major Mckinley said, tonight, that the re-
publicans would not agree to have the bill
come to vote without an opportunity for
amending It,"

one that will, by its own actiun, reach all

As We have commended Colonel White to

As we have commended Colonel White to
our democratic newspaper contemporaries
at Dayton, 1t is proper that we should re-
produce, in full, what the Daily Democrat
has to say on the matter:
Mr.. Hancock remained in office for five
or six years OF democratic administration
in the board of education. This paper did
not approve of Mr.. Hancock's removal
when 1t occurred any more than it approves
of Mr.. Burns's removal now. the only OBJ
lection TO Mr.. Burns on the part Of any
body being that he Is not republican.
The Springfield REPUBLIC is especially de-
sired to take notice of the Demo-
rats position on this subject, which
has been consistently maintained for
years, and is known by all its readers. tits
that teachers ought neither to be removed
nor appointed for political reasons. twill
be vain for republicans, or republican news
papers, to attempt to defend the removal of
Mr.. Burns for pure political reasons on the
ground that the democrats did 1t in Mr..
Hancock's case, because it is net true in
fact, other reasons being given, by repub-
Leans as well as democrats, although, as
before said, this paper did not approve of
them. But 1.-TWO wrongs do not make q
right" in any event. We wish Col. White
success, however, and as long as he makes
bas good a superintendent as either of his
predecessors, shall oppose removing him
for political reasons.
Mr.. Taylor has Just been reelected super
intendent of the Springfield public schools,
for two years: First because he was q
democrat, and for no other reason. and,
second, he has been elected for two years
because we arc to have a republican board
next spring, and his democratic partisans
wished to forestall the action of the people.
If Mr.. Taylor possessed the requisite quali-
fications, the simple fact that he Is demo
crat would not be an objection, even to re-
pub leans,
