And now comes the Supreme Court!
of the United States, and in a carefully I
prepared opinion, at f he hands of Mr. I
Justice Bradley, decides that tne civil
rights bill is unconstitutional. Wi
are not certain whether this ij a part of
the Ohio election or not: at an v rate it
follows it closely.

Should the old man come out of the

by au alarming degree of modesty and
diffidence. Should Benjamin conclude
to ask for the nomination at the hands

will prove an ugly old ciutomer to side

Despatches, a few days ago, irom
Washingeon give it out that Paul Van
DerVoort has received a proposition
from the post master general to' the ef
fect that the department will reinstate
Gen. Paul in his old position in charge
of the railway service upon the linea of
the U. P. and B. & M. in Nebraska and
west, with headquarters at Oniaha.pro
videdhe, Gen. Paul, will ' agree to re
sign that position at once, and accept
another position of like importance, in
the same service, in Washington terri
tory. If Gen. Van DerVoort was unfit
to administer the service in this depart
inent it will be a difficult matter to
convince tha ordinary mind that he is
qualified for that business in Washing
ton territory. -The Herald thought
that Gen. Van DerVoort was wrong
fully treated in his removal and this
proposition of the post master general
looks a little. as though we were correct
iu our opinion of the matter.
Hie Southern Pacific interest which
Las made the alarming claim before
the interior department for the un
earned land grant of the Texas Pacific,
if accredited rumors be true, have be
come alarmel in regard to their case
which they have heretofore so confi
dently pressed upon Mr. Teller, the
head of that bureau. In well informed
circles it is- understood that Secretary
Teller is decidedly adverse to this
claim, and will undoubtedly deny the
application of the Southern Pacific in
terest; understanding this that corpo
ration is now endeavoring to withdraw
their case, or in other words haTj the
same transferred for decision to the
Attorney General for his opinion.-

term it. which the Omaha Republican
has beeu making upon Jmle Savage's
record as a practiciouefpf. great exper

count. In reply to this, the number of
cases liunllel and managed bv each one
of these gentlemen before the supreme
court of Nebraska are produced and
commented upon, all of which shows
Judge Reese to have had as much prac
tice before the supreme court of Neb
raska as Judge Savage has had. This
should offend no partisan friend of
Judge Savage's who desires to be fair
iu this contest; both of these gentlemen
are good lawyers in our opinion. In
point of abilty as a lawyer, as well as
iu health and vigor, we consider Mr.
Reese the superior of Judge Savage. Iu
saying this it is not our wish or inten
tion iu the least to detract from the
reputation or good name of the demo
cratic nominee. ' -
Upwards of a million of circulars
or pamphlets, were printed and mailed
to the Ohio farmers,. iu the wool (lis -
tricts, by the democratic party of that
state denouncing the republican party
for cutting dowu the tarifl" on wool;
many prominent democrats and some
republican politicians of that state are
of opinion that the action of the last
ceugress in so reducing the tariff on
wool greatly injured the republican
party in Ohio in the late election-
While are not of the number who
believe this "wool cry" injured the old
Dartv to anv creat extent in Ohio, we
are curious to know what our' democ
ratic friends are now going to do about
it. Of course, when that patty de
nounced the republicans of the lntt
cougress for passing a 1 nv which re
duced the duty 011 wool there was a
promise made to the Ohi wool producer
that in case he as.si.sted the democratic
partv into power, that wrong would be
speedily righted. Will our Ohio states
men now come up like men and assist in
restoring this wool tariff? The Ohio
wool producer will have plenty of time
pulled over his eyes by the Iloadly dc
mocranv and that all the rjrotectiou he
not c ut Hip linnrl nf this ii:irtv he ran
put in his eye" without disturbing his
3ion or the wool either.
THEOHIO ELECTION..
From the Council lllufls Nonpareil. '
Senator Sherman telegraphed in
the New York Herald l'rorn his home
at Mansfield the day after the Ohio
election as follows;
"The election will have no other
effect in Ohio than to make the
struggles next year on national is
sues more determined on the part of
the republicans. The prohibition is
sue, while bringing out a large vote,
arrayed the German vote against us
and brought us no strength from the
democrats.; While Ohio will be
classed as a doubtful state it will uot
be reallv so in a presidental elect
ion." "
And Murat Halstead, editor f the
Commercial-Gazette on the same
dajr telegraphed as follows to the
same paper: "Indications continue
that Judge Hoadley has been elected
governor by a small majority. But
why has the unexpected happened?
You can see that all the wool coun
ties have hurt the republicans. They
must have confidence that the dem
ocracy are protectionists on wool.
The wine districts on the lake also
show up against the republicans.
The prohibitory crusade is . the real
cause of the republican trouble. They
became exalted with excitement,
claimed to have divine assistance
and to be certain of success, and
some of them voted their own third
ticket, and others traded their state
vote for amendment votes. Foraker
would not voteefor the amendment,
and said so, and was cut by the ex
tremists, who were wild in a degree
hard to understand.
Now vou want to know, assuming
th at Hoadly is elected, what the re
sult will be as to the presidential ele
ction? With a democratic legislature
to wrestle with the liquor law, added
to a democratic house of representa
tives, and Judge Hoadley the fore
most candidate for the presidency,
and a man of just those sparkling
qualities that are unsafe, the repub
licans will have a booming prospects
in Ohio in the presidential year, and
when the people are jammed right up
to theauestion -whether: the demo
cratic party shall be trusted - with the
general government tney mu say
uNo" again." ' ' f '
John R. McLean, editor of the en
quirer, the leading democratic editor
of the state, telegraphs his views of
the result and among other things
saj-s; "The democratic victory has
been achieved after a warm fight
against a determined and well equip
ped pari 3, under the leadership of
the best politicians among the rep
ublicans ol the state. It is regarded
by politicians of Loth parties as big-
nilicant far beyond .state and local ques
tions. It is noticed that Ohio will take
an important part iu the presidential
contest. It is the initial performance
of the work of throwing the republican
party out of power in the United
Stales and turning over of the book to
the democracv for examination. It
rucaus a genertl change.'"
Of course Mr. McLean would be ex
pected to bluster aitd talk about exam
ining books and all that sort of thing
and to declare what, the Ohio dcniocra
cy propose to do i:i the presidential
contest, but the it ul truth is that the
temperance agita'ors with the prohib-1
itory amendment pending, caused this
change which has given the victory in
Ohio to the democracy and a United
States senator with it.' This is a great
misfortune, cut Ohio will ,wheel into
line next jear. It always goes repub
lican in presidential years. It gave
Grant a majority of 4.1,000 in 188 and
one of 36,000 in 1872. The republican
majority tell to 7,000 when Hayes was
elected iu 1870, but it rose to 31,000 lor
Garfield. in 188. Last yeai the demc-
cratic vote exceeded the republican by
lf,000; this year its majuritv i not uo
great.
