THE 4'ITY COI'SCII. A«,HN. I k'ciuise we doom the provocation verv wc again call attention to the action of the Republican members of the City Council in electing a Democratic City Attorney. The deed is done, but tiiere is a lesson in it which should not be forgotten. Just sucti actions as this—-just such a jnanifestation of the want of backbone in Republicans—have given Montgomery county its Democratic majority for the past eight years. The organization of the Republican party is notoriously inefficient its members do not stand by each other. If the organization is worth sustaining, it is not proper for its members to throw aside the cl'aims of Republicans and bestow its honors upon .Democrats without some good reason. Had the City Council such a reason in the present case Before that body were four young Republican lawyers who had pUiced themselves in the .ranks of the party because they believed it to be the party of free and progressive ideas. Possibly there was no thought of political proclivities when the votes were cast. Perhaps there were some grave reasons in the estimation of the Republican members of the Council for thus rejecting the application of the four young men of their own party and adding to the hu initiation of that rejection by honoring a bitter Democrat with their votes. If there were such reasons, they have not been made public. We have heard it intimated that one of them was rejected because he already holds an office under the municipal government, and another be cause he lives outside the corporation limits. .Even admitting, which we cannot consistently do, that both of these were the very best excuses, there still remained two Republican candidates, neither of whom, in

mor

ality and intellectual ability, would suffer by comparison with the successful Democratic candidate. We insist that there is no excuse for such action, when the merits of the respective candidates are fully considered. We are not the advocates of extravagant partiasn feeling, but we do respectfully protest, in the name of the grand, free principles of the Republican party, against rewarding the vilest and bitterest [partisan feeling in our political opponents. -will avail nothing to discuss the motive of this action. It might have been good. Thoughtlessness or oer sonal friendship might account lb' it But tiie fact still remains. The men of the Republican partv in Montgomery county are humiliate I I be rejected and spurned by those whom one has been educated to believe his "best friends is the saddest kind of disappointment, and one not to be alleviated by the triumphal vindication of the most bitter paitisan course in the sole applicant of another party.

Of such a disappointment the Republican candidates for the office of City Attorney may justly complain, and over such a vindication the successful Democratic candidate, Mr. Willson, may well chuckle. It is a confession of weakness on our part which is despicable even in the ejres of the Democrats of the city.

THK REVIEW'S WEFKSHE.

We regret exceedingly the narrow, bigoted spirit manifested by the "Railway" conductors. We have a beautiful little city here, situated in the loveliest and fairest portion of the State, and we certainly should all feel a kindred pride and spiiit in building up and developing the grand resources with which she is blessed, in place of stirring up strife and bad blood over the beggarly offices of our municipal government.

The above is taken from the lieview of last Saturday, and is called forth by the strictures upon the action of the City Council which appeared in the JOURNAL of last week. There is more sweet-sounding stuff,

intended particularly for the ears Republican members of the Oit Council, which we pass over as a ma! ter which docs not concern us. ThRepublicans who compose five-sixth of the Council must be their owi judges of the merits for wliljli t-luM have more than once received tin flattering commendations of the lie view. The sincerity of the lieoiew\* desire, however, to disregard parti san feelings in matters affecting oui 'beautiful little city here, situated it. the loveliest and fairest portion ol the Stnte," may be judged of by some other expressions which appear along side this. The editor—whether the City*Attorney or somebody else, we cannot say—cannot pen n'short article in favor of the tax of $125,000 to aid tbe R., C. fc road without castingafling at the "bondliolders"' of the country nor of the prospect of the I C. & D. Railroad without urging the gagging of the "fly trap of their radical editor,'' and, in another, without speaking of a -'little, dingy radical sheet," and so on through only one column »f the/ivc devoted to such little things which are, of course, not "narrow" and "bigoted." It must be remembered, too, that the expressions quoted above are from articles concerning "our beautiful little city here, situated in the loveliest and fairest portion of the State."

GEN. W. W. KONECRANS. This gentleman bus been nominated for Governor of Ohio on the Democratic ticket. There is nothing in the name to command the support of any Republican. His early war record wis good, but subsequently it was dimmed by petulant wrangling with his superiors, and ternrnated in disaster. His Chicamauga campaign cannot be erased from the memory of any soldier under his command. What Gju. Roseerans thought of peace Democrats, however, mav be interred from a letter written from Mo when he was in the zenith of his soldierly glory "I am amazed that an\ one should think of peace on any terms. He who entertains the sentiment, fit only to be a slaw he who utters it, at this lime, is, moreover, a traitor to his country, who deserves the scorn and contempt of all honorable men."

This im-reiv shows how the "timehonored,"' the "unchanging—same yesterday, to-day and forever" 1 emocracv ao sometimes chanre.

ear that he wrote this tbe traitorous' on the last sluik' of the box, but still Vidlandig'uun .vas banished through the lines of Gen. Roseerans at Murfreei«ro We presume Val. has not It 'forgotten it The newspaper reports say tluit the nomination is anything but satisfactory to the firm old Democrats o'- 1803 With these dissensions and conflicting views which he entertained then and entertains now it will be difficult to rally even the support of a united Democracy. We predict the re-election of Gov. Hays by a handsome majority.

jailCY AND SENSIBLE.

THK JtOIITSJ WEST.

At a meeting of the, officers and •ontraotors of the I., C. & 1). Ra.ilond. at Indianapolis last !idiy, it vas determined to continue the line vest, via Covington, if the'eitizens of Aiuutain county will raise. $50,000 idditionai to the subscriptions and lonations already made. The delegates from that county, we understand, have pledged that amount, to he raised mainly by the townships through which the road will passThe citizens of Fountain county will feel that this is a heavy demand upon their pockets, and we think justice to them and the importance of the road demand from the Company a full and official statement of the reasons winthis additional amount is thus de manded of them.

TttSE VIKUINIA ISLiEi'flOAf. The vote in Virginia, on the Oth, resulted in the election of Walker, the Conservative Republican candidate, for Governor, by a majority of about 40,000. The Constitution was adopted without the test oath disqualifying clause. Both parties, Radical and Conservative, supported the Fifteenth Amendment, and the result will secure its ratification by the Legislature next WinterA-^fVirginia is now in a fair way to be restored to her proper position in the Union, and the people of the State are so clearly pledged to the support of the liberal and conciliatory views of Grant's administration that lasting peace and prosperity can again reasonably be hoped for in the Old Dominion.

THE JUNIOJl.

We have received the Juty number of the Junior,a quarter sheet monthly, edited by Charlie Phillips, at Kokomo., Charlie has seen but a dozen Summers, yet he puts more vim into his little paper than half the papers of the country, edited by much older heads. That boy will make his mark in the newspaper business.

We find tluj following in the llc--uiew of last Saturday in an articleon the I C. & D. road road, addressed to our "Covington friends." The people of Fountain county must feel keenly the insult which unnecessarily heaped upon them in this significant paragraph
