This Il tho Doctrine.

I there is special from the Boys Indus.
trial School at that place which, among
other items of interest, tells of the No
vember meeting of the Board of Trustees.
: Capt. d. M. Barrett, who has been the
, Superintendent for the past year, seems
to have given satisfaction to the Board,
and his report is highly. commended.
He mentions some needed improvements
: which will probably be made. While
officer he will be "fired" from the posi-
tion, for there are plenty OF good Demo-
Gratis to take the place, and Governor.elect
Campbell will not be hampered with any
foolish ideas of Civil Service Reform
Hilisboro Gazette.
We take the above clipping from our
contemporary for two reasons. First to
dedicated it to our mugwamp Republicans,
with the request that they read it twice,
and while reading it notice the admis.
sion that Capt. d. NJ. Barrett has made
an efficient Superintendent of the Boys
Industrial School at Lancaster, o. He
has only been there year, but acco,d-
ing to the Gazette he will be "fred."
Why? Because "there are plenty Of
good Democrats to fill the place." Now
it is not desire to say good Democrats
are not as plentiful as the Gazette says
they are, or to boost up our friend, Capt.
Barrett. D. M. Birrett's reputation is
established. He needs no word Of praise
from us. As to Democrats, good or bad,
they are all joined to the idols of Democ.
racy and cannot be moved. But still the
Republicans who scratched their tickets
last fall, through the Dutch sophistry Of
the Gazette at that time, or through
Democratic sophistry on the day of elec.
ton, take notice of the change of front
by the leading Democratic organ in
Highland county?
In speaking of this change of front it
brings us to the second reason for motto.
ing the above clipping, and that is its
non.partisan (?) nature, for be it remems
bered that the man who occupies the
: sanctum on the corner of High and Main
street is man who has been desperately
in love with non partisan School Boards.
He lashed himself in wrath and rage
> last spring because the News. HERALD
ventured to say that there were hosts of
+ Republicans in the town of Hillsboro
, who were as we'll qualified for positions
v in our School Board as any Democrat
8 who could be selected. This our cotem.
+ porary styled as an effort to destroy its
labor of years. For he set forth that it
. required great and patient offort on the
Gazette man to accomplish the then con-
dition Of things in the Hilsboro School
Board. But mark you the bipartisan
idea that was of such immense value for
the Hillsboro Union Schools is of no
value in the Lancaster Reform School.
Now it would seem that the same doc.
trine would hold good in both counties.
1t does with most people, but our neigh.
bor has succeeded by loud squealing in
deceiving number of weakened Re.
publicans into voting the Democratic
ticket, both in the county and corpora
ton. 1t is to be hoped that such voters
will be able to arouse themselves from
their delusion, and particularly is this to
be hoped for, when the attitude taken
by the Hillsboro Gazette is so plain that
the wayfaring man can readily under
stand whose OK is in the ditch this time.
The editor, Mr.. Hough, sees that there
is no "foolish ideas" about Governor.
, elect Campbell.
10 Will Republican voters see the con.
10 clusion drawn by our true Democratic
10 editor, that there are no foolish ideas in
the Democratic management? But il
can be easily seen that he expects, an'
has found just such ioolishness amongst
r. Republican voters in this county as +
IN have a number of Democratic official
y holding Office now, and others to be in
in Quoted into office soon. This we hav
h. spoken OF before as result of Republ
a can scratches, and would emphasize
lis now as the time is propitious. w
ar- venture the assertion that ere man
N. weeks roll around this Democratic orga
ne will be calling loudly on Republica
ng voters in this town to make things mol
70, partisan in Hillsboro as that is the BET
gal condition OF things. But give the d.
Ter mocracy the full power and you wi
ar quickly see that the no "foolish idea
le, is the one which they will practice. I'll
'te conclusion of the matter, and the pos
ge ton we occupy, and which it is the d.
'us sire that every Republican should o
ic- cupy, is, that we stand for Republics
principles first, last and all the time, an
also stand for every proper man WI
49, holds these principles. We have I
he "foolish idea" about supporting Dem
,s w Gratis for office, nor should any Repub
~ can voter allow himself to be again mi
a-S led. The die is cast. Read the extra
