THE INDEPENDENT. SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1883. The Contest in Ofcio. The olection in the Sjate of Ohio, es pecially in the year preceding the pres idential election, ia a matter of great in terest to ,thj country at large, for the reason that the result of the latter con test depend in a great degree upon the expressed opinion of that great Sjtate. The ' present contest therefore ia watched by the statesman of the coun-j try with more than ordinary anxiety. The Republican convention was divided on the subject of the liquor traffic, and hat part of their platform was so framed jthait it displeased the prohibi tionist while i gained no yotes from the conservative members. Jn order o divert attention from this vexatious question the convention declared for a is protection tariff. There aro no Con gressmen to be elected from Ohio tliis yeaf1aiVfhequclOttras ih abstract one, but the leaders hoped by its dis,7 pussion jtp distract attention from the Jiquor question and to unite the party under the old wi.r cry. The same pol icy dictated the nomination of Mr. Foraker for governor, a young man of ability but who had no public record to explain. The action of the Democratic convention which met last week at Col umbus was in striking contrast with $ho wavering policy of their opponent!? On the liquor question, which at this election is the absorbing one, it de clarcd agaiust sumptuary legislation m pvery form, in favor of Jthe largest lib. orty of private conduct consistent with hs public welfare and th,e rights of pthcrs and of regulating the liquor Jaffic and providing against the evils resulting therefrom by a judicious and properly , graded license system. On he question of the tariff it was equally put spoken and emphatic. It declared hat all taxes collected beyond what is necessary to carry on the govern ment was robbery of the people, and .hat the tariff should be for revenue onry. The candidate for governor is JuuEre Ueo. 11. Iloftuier. a sound statesman, a brilliant orator and of unimpeachable character. The success of the Democratic ticket s no longer a matter of .controversy. It is already coneeded by the Republi cans who strive to parry the weight of the blow by declaring that it will have no effect whatever upon the presiden tial election. Let them lay the flatter jag unction to their souls. The next President of the United States will as pertainly be a Democrat and will be pht next governor of Ohio. "5 with the piineral The Mercury's informant in last week's issue under the above caption was wrong in stating that " One lady who was compelled to do sewing in or der to make her living was incarcer ated in the city jail because of her fail ure to pay the sum stated." The facts are that an ordinance had Josg b,een in force in the city of Rose, burg requiring a license of tea dollars for dressmaking and also a license of ten dollars for carrying on the business of milliner. The lady in question was engaged in the business of dressmaking pnly, and in order to test the validity of a tax upon her labor refused to pay the license fee. A complaint was made by the Marshal and a warrant issued fyr her arrest by the Recorder. The matter was compromised by the Jady paying the license fee under the promise from the City Trustees that they would refund it at their next regular meeting, which they accordingly did and rr pealed that part of the ordinance relating to dressmaking, where no goods aro sold as merchandise. The statement of the Mercury's informant that the lady was incarcerated in the jcity jail, is without any foundation. Pt the City Trustees retained the part pi the ordinance referring to milliners and exact the license of young ladies engaged in that business, when every mercantile house in the city are engaged selling millinery goods without pay ing tbis special tar. The city fathers are truly to be pitied for the magna nimity they have shown in this matter, n taxing these young ladies for their Ijoedle-work. Tariff for Revenue Only. Notwithstanding the desire of the Republican leaders to escape the issue, they saay as well make their minds up 9 the fact that the next Democratic national platform will have one sound plank in it, a tariff for revenue n r7iT7ause it is right and the great party of jthe people cannot afford to do ptherwise. In all the State platforms where be -Democracy made the most unprecedented gains," in Jast October and November elections, there was an 'emphatic declaration that they favored 0, tariff for revenue only The Republican leaders may as well make their minds up to the fact that they will be forced to meet the issue, and it will not be 9. mere local question, c$s V". THE HOODLUM. Seme weeks since we perpetrated, through our columns a definitia of " hoodlum," and to out utter conster nation man persons, eapeciallj among the young and rising generation, took the matter home to themselves. Many have been the importunities to know exactly who was intended by the al lele. As it was but a sample defini tion of a class of beiDgs we are unable to point out any one in particular. Since the term "heedlum" is under stood by many persons as-being appli cable only to the young, we take this present'opportunity to state that this a great mistake. Children fresh roni the hand of nature, have none f he "hoodlum" in their . composition.
