The Official vote Of the state OF Ohio
has Just been published. The total vote
sas4s against 1.oeo.s73 in 1896. All but
23.2oS votes were cast for the Democratic
or Republican nominees. Bushnell for
Governor received 42sSs5 votes and Chap
man Dem) received 4ol,7J0.
In 1895 Mckinley received 52j.soi votes
and Bryan received AZ 49, votes. II will
be seen from this that the Republican
candidate for Governor received 96,iOs
votes less than Mckinley received in 1896,
while the Democratic candidate received
1874 votes less than Bryan received.
Naturally there should have been an
increase in the total vote of the State
Of three per cent.
These figures are worth studying. 1t
had been given out by the free silver
people. and they had used It for all IT was
worth. that the vote in Ohio Indicated
great growth in the free silver sentiment
because. as they alleged free silver was
made a leading issue IN the campaign and
the Republican plurality was reduced.
But the figures show that so far from
being an increase the Democratic candi-
date this year actually received 75,14
votes less than Mr. Bryan received in
1896. It would appear from this there
fore, that silver is much weaker In Ohio
than IL was year ago.

THE PRINCIPLE Is THERE.

The authorities in Washington claim
that the decision Of Judge Jackson in
the West Virginia case has no bearing
on the case Of the internal revenue de-
puties. known as the Brady case, now
before the Department
The cases may not be parallel but IL
seems to us that Judge Jackson's de-
cision is broad enough TO cover them all.
He declared that the civil service law Is
constitutional and held that the ap-
pointment Of a man TO a Federal posi-
ton under that law gives him a night In
equity to that place which he cannot be
forced 10 surrender except for causes
other than political. This is the prin-
ciple upon which the civil service law is
built, and II Judge Jackson's decision Is
sustained 1t seems 10 us that 1t must
inevitably apply 10 the Brady removals.
The West Virginia case will go on to
the Supreme Court and we sincerely
hone that that court will deal with it as
fully and as frankly as Judge jackson
has done We would like TO know
whether the civil service law is TO be
enforced in good faith. or q mere farce
to be juggled TO suit the convenience and
interest of politicians.

INTOLERANCE.

Several days ago we referred in these
columns to the contest in Maryland and
took occasion to speak of the fight which
the Baltimore Sun had made against Boss
German.
The stanton Spectator and vindicator
copies this article from The Times with
the following comment:
"The above tribute 10 the Baltimore
Sun is the Times opinion of its effort.
But there are many people who do not
believe the statements OF the Sun, nor
the sincerity of lis crusade on Mr.. Cor
man. They prefer Mr.. German TO any,
thing IN Republican breeches the Sun
has TO offer in his stead. and whilst the
Sun may have wen what it thinks a great
victory, 1t comes at great cost TO that
journal and the city In which it Is pub
lished. In the Valley Of Virginia which
has for a long time sworn by the Sun.
and whose trade has been a mine TO
Baltimore, people refuse to let the paper
come into their houses. and In trading
they are giving Baltimore a wide berth"
And more's the pity. 1t is this sort Of
intolerance in Virginia that is a con-
slant menace to independent politics
and Independent journalism.
The Baltimore sun has always had the
reputation of being an honest newspaper.
For years IL affiliated with the Demo-
cratic party Of Maryland. but when the
party machinery got into the hands of
an arrogant clique, large number of
good Democrats throughout the State
came to the conclusion that It was time
FOR bossjsm 10 be rebuked and move
ment among Democrats against Cor
manism was begun. The Sun as an
honest and independent newspaper cham
pioned that movement and made a fight
against the party machine. II would
have been far easier for the Sun. and less
expensive we doubt not. had II let things
30 their own way and gone along with
the dominant party, blindly following the
lead of Mr.. German Had IL done this
against its convictions and against what
II believed to be the best interests OF the
people OF Maryland. II would have con-
