GOV. CAMPBELL WAS RIGHT.

Much has been said pro and con, and,
in Ohio political circles, much excite
ment and disturbance have been caused
by Gov. CAMPBELL's action in calling
together the Legislature to stop the
abuses that have been notorious in Gin
cinnati.
Gov. CAMPBELL's action may not have
been wise from ''practical' political
point of view, but what good citizen of
Ohio is there, who values good, honest
government more that party success,
who will not endorse the brave Govern
or's action? Heroic measures were neceS-
sary and Gov. CAMPBELL did not hesitate
to offend and possibly ALLEVIATE portion
of his own party in taking them. And
when the excitement and i'll feeling of
the moment have passed away even the
disgruntled ones will acknowledge that
the Governor was right, even from po-
litical point of view.
The Legislature adjourned yesterday,
and in their last act-the passage of
the Soncrant bill-they endorsed the
Governor. The bill embodies the Gov
ernor's recommendations, and provides
that the Mayor of Cincinnati appoint a
new board to serve until the election of
their successors by the people next
spring.
Governor CAMPBELL has proven him
self to be a brave, honest and fearless
man with the good of the people at
heart.

Wetzelphobia.

Whatever chances Mr.. Henry b.
Thompson may have had for election to
the County Clerkship have been sadly
marred. If not wholly overturned, by the
SmartneSS of that Republican organ, the
Wheeling hltelligencer. From the time
that its war editor referred to Wetzel as
a dark spot of ignorance and barbariSm
that ought to be blotted from the map,
because alone among all the counties in
the State it had given a majority for
Mcclellan until the present, it has never
referred to this county except in spite
full and Sneering manner. It's possessed
of a sort of Wetzelphobia, which rem
derS it ridiculous and contemplate.
The purported letter from Ben Earn
shaw to a prominent democrat of Ma
rion, published in the mteIugencer,
bears the lie on its face. The vote be-
tween Golf and Fleming was substabti-
ally unchanged by the recount. SO
that Fleming was not credited with the
eight votes. The fact is there were no
such scratches. We know what we are
talking about.

TO DEMOCRATS
Forewarned Is Forearme'


Democrats are being appealed to daily
by some of the Republican candidates
for the Legislature and their hired
elacouers to give them complimentary
vote ON the ground that it makes no
difference who is elected, and at the
same time urging their own people to
vote the Republican ticket straight from
ton TO bottom. These people are guilty
of the grossest deception
The coming session Of the State Leg
islatlre will be the most important held
for wears. The new census requires q
redistricting of the State for Congress
men and State Senators. The Repuoii-
can marty of test oath and registration
infamy, whereby half the voters OF the
State were disfranchised, are making a
desperate effort to capture the Legisla-
turc. If they get control OF II
all Democrats and independent
voters can rest assured that
Speaker REEDS significant words at
tered at Pittsburg, to LET US DO OUR
OWN REGISTRATION, OUR OWN
COUNTING, OUR CERTIFICATIoN,"
will be enforced without delay, and that
the State will be so gerrymandered that
the Republican bosses will control and
elect L. 5. Senators and Congressman
for the next ten years.
1t is for these reasons that Repnbli-
can candidates for the Legislature want
YOUR votes.

SHOWS HOW THE POPULAR WIND
BLOWS.

Had Governor HILL spoken IN tne

At least would have assembled to hear
him and his voice would not have
reached the outskirts of the crowd.
The Grand Opera House was packed and
damned 10 its utmost limits. Not an
other man could have been squeezed
either in the auditorium or on the stage
Of the theatre. More than three times
as many people as were in the house

Does not this show the direction oil
the popular wind?
AT not one of the much heralded Re
publican meetings in this city has the
space for the audience been filed,
though the speakers have been among
the most prominent the kepuoi-
cans have on the stump, while at the
first big Democratic meeting the audi
ence was limited only by the walls OF
the building.
Gov. HILL, THOMAS f. GRADY, Gov.
FLEMING and Senator KENNA were the
orators. Their speeches will be found
elsewhere. The unqualified success OF
this meeting and the great enthusiasm
of the audience show conclusively how

OTHER SPEECHES,
Delivered by Senator John T.. Kenna, Gov
ernor Fleming, and Thos. u. Grady.

At the close of Governor HIPS adj
dress. there were loud calls for Senator
John +. Kenna, and as that gentleman
arose. he was given round of cheers
which showed the great hold he has
upon the Democratic masses.
Senator Kenna began by semi
humorous allusion to the orders of his
physicians that he must refrain from
taking any active part in the campaign,
at least as far as public speaking was
concerned, but he said he could not re-
frain from saying something, doctors or
no doctors. He said:-
want to say something about the
Republican demand for free ballot and
fair count. They wanted it in this
State, and they got in the person of A.
b. Fleming. Loud cheers. They as
sembled, at the opening OF Congress,
with majority of three in the House,
majority which every one who reads
the newspapers and the proceedings OF
Congress knows they increased by the
most questionable methods. There are
325 Representatives in the House, not
counting those from the new States,
just admitted The average age of the
members is fifty years, To have half
of that number present, depends on the
continued good health of the members,
and their families. There has scarcely
been a day for many long years, when
ten members, or even fifteen constituted
a reliable working majority. After the
assembling of the present House, there
was but one occasion, after the election
of the Speaker, when they were able to
muster 166 members, at roll call. This
would not do, so they determined they
would have a fair ballot and free
count, and they proceeded to throw out
nine Democrats and put Republicans
in. They put out John o. Pen
dleton cheers of Ohio county
