SPRINGFIELD. Ohio. August |,


Dear Htrdid:-Nben last | wrote you. due
protest believe was made against the hot wea-
ther that we poor mortals were subjected to here.
and il at that time there were not sufficient rea-
for sending forth loud complaint there has
been since. so the different items may be entered
into one account. California being young coun-
try fast country. and little ahead of all the
rest of creation she has right to fix up her ther-
mometer to suit herself. and to indicate ll02 and
1l2o in the shade if she sees fit. but for an Old
settled, fogy and slow conch part Of the world as
this is to tolerate 90 and 1909 is to say the TEAS,
nyhing but cool. And this sort of thing has
been kept up. until it has even made the war fever
melt. (and some folks you know were very bcge-
rcnt.) for England does not intend to fight after
all. She acquicsces in Mr.. Champions recall
without murmur. Young America says that is
cool. And the terrible Central American question
(Which of course we were going to fight about is
not such an intricate matter after all, and arb-
traion is complacently proposed, and the whole
affair is talked about as an affair of easy adjust
ment. Now this mode of procedure may satisfy
diplomats and the heads of the respective govern
ments, but Young America and John Bull. jr.. con-
slider it a cruel joke. and consider themselves the
victims of an outrageous sell.
The war cloud being thus dispeled and having
no chance to whip old England, everybody turns
their attention to home politics, and Democrats.
KnowNothings and Republicans, are getting rea-
dy to whip each other clean out of their boots
next November All parties talk confdently-all
are sanguine-and all believe themselves honest
in their sentiments. Newspapers make calcula-
tions upon electoral votes build pyramids OF
States give votes the routes Of travel and
think they have gone and done it generally But
who cares for all that sort of figuring. 1t Will re-
qure after all, that the votes shall be counted be-
fore we know who is elected
| regret to see that the campaign is conducteu
by many of the partisan press with very niue
ri cctn to ,l,riIl lnn
and demagogueism of the lowest order seems 10
be the tactics to a great extent. This will apply
with more favor to The Republican press than 10
the other parties. For my own part am Wiling
to acknowledge that the nominees of the severai
parties are all gentlemen who have the welfare oi
the country at heart and have not heard yet iha'
either of them have ever been guilty of stealing
but am fearful every day that some honest man
will promul gate such charge.
The Oworshpping press is furious III M 10

parties. and the strikers and blowers of the parry
