The OhI Election.
Hon. A. J. Sampson of Colorado
was visiting friends in the city last
week returning to Denver, from Ohio,
where he took a part in the recent cam
paign under direction of the state
central committee ; hence is qualified
to speak of the late election. A Jour
nal reporter met him and in an in
terview elicited the following :
"What do you think were the causes
of the republican defeat in Ohio this
fall?"
"One was the reduction of the wool
tariff by the last congress. Ohio is a
large wool producing state. The re
publicans in congress had generally
voted for the bill on its final passage,
by which the reduction was made,
although during the various steps
towards its final passage tbey bad
persistently fought against the reduc
tion and the democrats for it, and fur
a still greater reduction, but on the
final passage of the bill voted no.
Wool was but one of a thousand items
affected by the bill. If wool alone,
the great bulk of the republicans
would have voted no and the demo
crats yes, reversing their votes, as
indicated by the previous speeches
aid votes. Begardless of this record,
by persistent lying, newspaper and
circular demagoguery the democrats
succeeded in influencing many repub
licans to believe that the republicans
in congress were the advocates of the
reduction of the wool tariff, always,
ef course, referring to the final vote,
hence the enemies of the wool grow
ers, and thus got them to vote the
democratic ticket.
"Another important cause was the
'second amendment' or prohibition
question. And on this it was not so
much the fault of the liquor men as of
the 'prohibitionists,' as the votes of
temperance and anti-temperance coun
ties would indicate. These indicate
that in many instances a prohibition
ist in the republican party would
trade off the entire ticket for a demo
cratic vote for the 'second amend
ment.' Thev seemed to act on the
belief, as was the fact in many in
stances, that prohibition in the con
stitution was sufficient, without any
law to enforce it. Under such cir
cumstances it is remarkable that the
republicans did as well as they did.
They reduced the democratic majori
ty of one year since ten thousand,
votes, and with prohibition out of the
road next year will wheel Ohio into
the republican ranks by not less than
twenty thousand majority. Then the
democrats have the state legislature,
and with a prohibition vote in the
state of nearly 325,000, and a power
ful liquor influence, they can scarcely
steer between the Scylla and Charyb
dis of political ruin, and may increase
the republican majority next year to
fifty thousand. You may put Ohio
down as sure for a republican major
ity in 1884, unless something worse
than the late republican defeat strikes
her.
"Again, the republican central com
mittee was an excellent one but had
not enough funds for legitimate cam
paign purposes. Tney did not nave,
for the entire state campaign, as mucn
money as the democrats spent in one
county alone, that of Hamilton. The
chairman of the state executive com
mittee informed me that during the
last two weeks of the campaign they
were badly crippled, having to drop
many of their appointments and drop
several prominent speakers from oth
er states, wbo would have been with
them on the 'home stretch if expen
ses could have been met. This was a
great misfortune, as the people turned
out to meetings well, and the explan
ation of the wool tariff questiou, and
others, never failed to make republi
can votes.
"Many other questions affected the
campaign more or less, but the fore
going were the principal- causes of
defeat."
"Are the republicans discouraged
over the defeat?"
"Not at all. They are fighting mad,
to think that low demagoguery and
the treachery of those who should
have been their best friends resulted
in defeat, and tbey are in excellent
'fighting trim' and will be in constant
training for next year's victory. Ohio
need not be put down as a 'doubtful'
state for '84, but as certainly repub
lican." "What effect will the recent decis
ion of the supreme court of the U. S.,
in the civil rights question, have on
the republican party ?"
"Good. The republicans in con
gress will unite to give the colored
people that which it was supposed
tney bad and which they should nave,
equal civil rights, by appropriate leg
islation next winter. Of course the
democrats will oppose it. The result
will he once more the solid colored
vote will he with the republican par
ty and in '84 numerous of the south
ern states will give handsome repub
lican majorities. The republican
party fiafl a better prospect of winning
in the next presidential contest, than
for the last three, from the present
out-look. The time has not yet come
for the late enemies of the nation to
get supreme control and will not, cer
tainly, for at least four yean."
There is no one that pretends to
believe that J. R. Williams can beat
Post. Post has made an able, honest
Judge, and there is no reason why he
should not be elected to the position
be now holds. Every lawyer in this
district will concede that Post is by
far the abler man. Williams may be
a nice man, but he will have to wait
some time before be can reasonably
hope to step into the shoes now worn
by Judge Post. Fremont Tribune.
The funeral obsequies of the late
Major General James B. Steadman
took place at Toledo, Ohio, on the
22d, and were attended by the largest
fathering the state ever saw. At least
10,000 persons were present. The
funeral cortege was of a very impos
ing character and over four miles in
length. The ceremonies were held at
Woodlawa. in which the remains
were placed in a vault, pending their
interment in a private lot recently
donated for that purpose.
Votebs should see that every state
ticket that passes through their hands
mas on it the name of M. B. Bee-e for
Jadge of the Supreme Court. There
will be quite an effort made to place
m that ticket the name of another
gentleman, and if it is looked after a
little the object will be defeated, and
good and trusty man like Beese
elected. Voters shenldbe sire that
this part ef the state ticket is not
tampered with, and that every repb
jkam votes it clean for Beese.
Xfce Bailiff nanisms.
It has been a pretty general im
pression that our county affairs might
be administered a good deal more
economically than tbey have been.
How much has been wasted or worse
than wasted of the people's money no
one can tell, until a thoroughly com
petent man is employed to go through
the books aud make a complete state
ment of affairs.
Until the last term of the district
court, it seems to have been the cus
tom of the sheriff to appoint bailiffs,
and these being rather more numer
ous than seemed necessary, the court,
as the law provides, appointed at the
last term.
We have had only a few minutes at
onr disposal to gather some facts in
this direction.
In the proceedings for May we find
bills allowed for bailiffs as follows :
John Walker $14; John Huber $16;
Benj. Spielman $22 ; Harry Newman
$22; J. J. Maugban $6; Thos. Burke
$4; James Flynn $2; G. B. Speice
$14; C A. Brindley $14 $114 in all.
The proceedings in July show M.
Scbram, Sr., $18 ; J. Huber $1S ; Har
ry Newman $18; Thos. Burke $10;
G. B. Speice $14; C. A. Brindley $14,
in all $92.
For Oct. 2d, the proceedings show
Harry Newman $14; M. Scbram $14;
J. J. H. Beedy $14, and Thos. Burke
(a'ot stated what for) $12.
It wonld seem that two bailiffs
wonld have been, at any term of the
court, a sufficient number for all that
bailiff usually have to do. Newman
and Scbram were appointed as such
by the Judge at the last term. But
will C A. Newman, present clerk of
the oenrt, Jtnd democratic candidate
for 'court? treasurer, please tell -the 1
people by what authority J. J. H.
Reedy clerked for him, and received
pay as bailiff?
We learn at the Court House that
it has been customary heretofore for
the sheriff to appoint bailiffs, and that
the commissioners had looked the
matter up, and directed the court to
appoint them hereafter. The truth is
that the bills for this particular kind
of office (whose functions seem to
have stretched wonderfully in these
modern days and been allowed to
include a clerk's duties) bad grown
under Mr. Kavanaugh's administra
tion to 6ucb dimensions that it was
necessary for the county commission
ers to give it their special attention.
Of course, while we have given the
names of the men employed, with the
amountB received, there is no reflec
tion against them, but the Journal
aud the tax payers of this county
would like to know of Mr. Kavan
augh why he has needed more than
two bailiffs, if not to do a part of bis
work and receive their pay for it
from the county? And the same
query is also appropriate to -Mr.
Newman Have you appointed bail
iffs? Have tbey done other duty than
as your clerks? By what authority
of law did you appoint them, and by
what authority of law have they
drawn pay out of the county's money
for doing your work?
Personally, we make here no objec
tions to theso gentlemen, but the acts
of officials touching public interests
are fair subjects of newspaper com
ment at any time, and tbey should do
nothing without the authority of law
and nothing that they would be
ashamed to give the widest publicity.
A few Remarks that Xaanahill
Made at Kedenbaash School
lloawe ia Shell Creek Precinct
Oct. 29 tli, ToarhlHGT one Point,
and which seem to be facts.
Gentlemen, I came up here not for
the purpose of saying anvthing, but I
see that there is no excuse for any one
from the vicinity of Columbus.
Now, Gentlemen, I advocate a
change in our court house. Since 1
came here it occurred to me that some
thing ought to be sad in regard to
coal furnished by the count7. The
old saying that cents make dollars
still holds good, but the fuel question
is one little thing that perhaps the
county known little of. There are
six stoves and fuel furnished by the
county. One at the county judge's
office up town and not at the court
house, where he should properly be;
one in the jail; one in the clerk's
office; one in the treasurer's office and
two at the sheriff's house. Four burn
hard coal, and the clerk's, treasurer's
and judge's burning night aud day all
winter, making 24 hours every day
for fuel, where there are eight hours
work in each office, except the judge's,
being occupied by the city judge. He
sometimes has longer cases, but it is
all the same, as the county furnishes
the stores and tucl. This makes six
teen hours that the three offices are
not occupied by any one but three
red-hot stoves being (for the three)
48 hours of unnecessary stove work
every day, 288 every six day?, to
which add all of Sunday (24), giving
312 every week or 1248 every four
weeks or month, and for 7 months at
least, will make S73G hours of lost
fuel.
I have known Mr. Newman to go
to the court house on Sundays to put
in more coal so as to keep it going
until Monday.
Mr. Newman arose and said that
he should like to explain that coal
business. He eaid that as much ink
aB they used at the court house it was
necessary to keep the fires going to
keep the ink from freezing (great
applause), and that the commissioners
had figured it up and found it cheaper
to keep the stoves burning all the
time.
Well, gentlemen, we have the com
missioners words for it, through Mr.
Newman. Now, that being the case,
every school board in Platte county
should get hard-coal stoves and keep
them running 1CS hours every week.
Why, bow pleasaut it would be for
the teachers to conic to the school
houses and find a good warm room
with their ink not frozeu !
Mr. Eavanaugh arose and said that
he was surprised that Tannahill
should make these remarks, as he
kept a fire burning all the time in his
greenhouse. Applause, with remark,
"The county doesn't pay for the coal."
r. &. Mr. ran nam 'I informs us
that when he came home at 3 o'clock
in the morning, aite the meeting,
passing by the court house ho noticed
the red-hot stoves, when the ink
wouldn't have frozen if it bad been
out of doors.

As to the judicial district tickets in
the present campaign, from what we
know of them there is absolutely no
comparison to be made between the
two. The bar of this district has
man)7 able members, and scarcely any
but of good ability, and it would ab
solutely be a shame that a man so
little qualified as Mr. Williams is re
ported to be, should be elected to
preside over them, especially as
against A. M. Post, wbo has filled the
office so ably since his appointment
by Gov. Dawes. He is courteous,
careful, studious, learned in the law,
and would command the respect of
the bar for his judicial qualities.
His companion on the ticket for
district attorney, Col. Marshall, is one
of the ablest attorneys in the district,
a tried and true man in the exercise
of official trust. The friends of good
government who wish an able ad
ministration of the laws will see to
it that the names of Past and Marshall
are on their tickets"
The candidate for Judge in the 4th
District is Hon. Alfred M. Post, of
Platte county. Mr. Post is a man
thoroughly competent for that posi
tion. He will be remembered by the
people of Nance county by the fair,
prompt and impartial manner in
which he conducted the last term of
court at Fullerton. If the voters of
Nance county wish fair, honest and
business like "courting" they should
be sure $at the name of Alfred M.
Post is upon-tbeir ticket when they go
