Democrafic PROSPECTS.

The Democracy have appeared to he very conf
dent of carrying the next Presidential election
indeed they have seemed to regard it as fixed
fact, and all that was left for them to do was to
seet their candidate and divide the Offices. They
expected to gain a series of victories this Fall
that should forcshadow coming events, and Ut
terly discourage and demoralize the Repnlaicans.
But from the time the elections set in. they nave
had copious showers of cold water poured npon
their hopes, and each succeeding shower approach
es nearer the dread proportions of deluge.
New Hampshire came first; and through Repub-
lican apathy and dissensions, the Democrats gain
ed the advantage This elated them highly; but
their joy was dissipatcd when the Republicans,
soon after, turned Connecticut and carried Rhode
Island against them.
Next came North Carolina, where the Repubi-
cans defeated Democratic party measure.
Kentucky was next; and in that Gibraltar OF
Democracy, where the Republicans had never ex-
hibited any strength at all, there came mp heavy
Republican vote from every part Of the State,
greatly reducing the heavy Democratic majority
of previous years-and the majority they now
have is said to have been secured mainly through
fraud
Next came Montana, where Democracy of the
Rebel order had always had its way; and she cleo
ted Republican Delegate to Congress, by LOCO
majority.
Then comes California, where the Democracy
had everything in their hands for some years
past; and she elects Republican Governor Leg
islature, and two (perhaps three) Congressman.
Wyoming next trumps in. In this Territory,
where the Legislature was last year unanimously
Democratic, the Republicans now have majority
in that body.
Maine next reports. Here the Democracy made
great calculations on wining grand victory; but
they were beaten worse than ever, and the Re
publicans carry towns that they never carried be-
fore
Even municipal elections in hitherto Democrat
ic States result in Republican victories, and thus
add their: testimony to the growing popularity
of fRepublieanisnl, and unpopularity of Rebel De-
mocracy.
Even in States where elections have not yet
taken place, the signs of Democratic discontinue
are many and glaring. In Ohio, they have been
forced to withdraw their candidate for Governor
from the stump, and their defeat is certain. In
Pennsylvania, the Republicans are cheerful and
full of confidence. In New York, the expose of
the Tammany frauds has been a sad blow to the
Democracy, and the Republicans confidently ex-
pect to redeem the State.
Thus, their "New Departure" from which they
only dissension and dissolution; and they will
ENTER the Presidential campaign loaded down with
defeat and dscouragement.

Further Remintscences.

NEAR DAYTON, o., August %.
To the Editor of the Weekiy Times:
The campaign in Ohio in 1912 partOOk in grea-
ter degree of national than State politics-from
the detection of President Tyler, whom the Wings
elevatetl-until some time in August of that year.
The resignation of the Wing members of the
prevent an alleged villainOus apportionment, gave
different turn to affairs. Auditor John BrOugh
made short tour of the State, not to supply al,-
pointments by Wilson Shannon for joint debate
with Gov. Corwin, but todeclaim upon the revOlu-
tionary proceedingsO of the Wings. At Dayton and
Piqua he encountered Robt. C. Schenck, and came
ont second best in both instances.
Corwin accepted a denomination the preceding
February very reluctantly, and with no Obliga-
tions resting upon him to canvass the State to
any extent He was much censured by the Ohio
StatcsmaR for consenting to address a mass NEE
ting at Lebanon on the 18th of June. In August
he spoke at large assemblages Of the people at
Xenia, Hamilton and Newark; and on the 10Th
Convention assembled there. He may, upon some
occasion or other, have ridden behind Brough's
span of "blacks," +" but it was not in consequence
of any withdraw of Wilson Shannon, or arrange
ment for Brough to fill the latter's appointments.
Thus much to prevent the C0rwinian apOcrypha
becoming too extensive.
Shannon led COrwin at the election nearly A.
600, but was, nevertheless, q minority Governor,
King, the Abolition candidate, receiving over
5000 votes. So "W. H. S. !" is mistaken also, in
800.
Speaking of Brough's encounter with Schenck,
at DAYTON, on the occasion alluded to, the Xenia
7orchlighf observed (September 3, 1922:
"Before Brough left Dayton, Mr.. Thomas Clegg,
one of the most enterprising mechanics in this
part of the country, and familiarly termed Tom
the Linsey Weaver, challenged him to debate the
Tariff question, which Brough agreed to do some
time in September; but reconsideration he
backed ont, under the poor, filnsy excuse of being
afraid that Mr.. Clegg would deal too much in
pers0nalitiesi"
This same Mr.. Clegg, by the way, is still living
the most Juvenile Octogenarian of the time, and
an unflinchng Republican. He is abundantly
able yet to refnte any Free Trader who under the
guise of Revenue Reform, would seek to create
division in the Republican ranks. OLD FOGIE.

papers were lavish in complimentary notices of
It. Havcns says Kansas comes away from the
Fair "covered all over with glory and that the
committee could have sold their specimens for
three hundred dollars. The exhibition of Kansas
fruit at Philadelphia, two years ago, which car

THE BEEcHER FANILY.-The statement that all

posed to woman suffrage, while all the male menl-
bers favor it, is incorrect. There are six mem

females and three males The females are Mrs.

KANSAS AGAIN TRUMPHs.-Kansas fruit once
more wins the field against all competitors. AT
the National Pomological Convention at Rich
mond, last week, Kansas Fruit took the Gold
Medal; and also at the New England Fair, at
Lowell, Kansas fruit carried off the First Prize.
With these facts heralded broadcast over the land
Kansas may laugh at the jealous efforts of other
States to check the flood of emigration that is
pouring into our borders.

petitioners was granted without discussion. Here

which our neighbors viii no doubt resent with
indignation.

The REASON wHY.-william. Prince of Ornnr

THE REASON WHY.-William, Prince of Orange,
was son-in-law of James H., of England. The
unpopular measures of his fither-in-law James III
in 1858, excited his ambition. Yielding to q de-
sire of portion of the British nation, he landed
with n small force at Brixham, November 4, 1862,
and after q few skirmishes, dispossessed King
James II. of his throne. Himself and his wife,
Mary, were acknowledged King and Queen Of
England, and were crowned April IL. 1859; but,
though hailed as a deliverer and a friend by the
English Ireland still remained attached to the
fortunes Of the fugitive James. With his usual
activity, William crossed to Ireland, and there
again encountered his father-inlaw, who had
landed in Ireland from France, and who sup
ported by a French force. The battle of the
Boyne, July II. 1859, completed the ruin of James
H., who retired in dismay to France and left his
rival, his son-in-law, William, Prince Of Orange,
in the peaceful possession Of the English throne.
William, Prince of Orange, was q Protestant-his
fafher-in-law, James H., was Catholic-and that
is why the great riot occurred in New York on
the 18th of July, when 80 many lives were lost.

r In some parts of the State, they are insist
ing upon electing State Senators under the appor-
tionment, and demanding their admission. As the
present Senators cannot be legisated out of Office
until their term expires, and all the new Dis
tricts have much right as any one or two of
them to elect this year. if they all do SO, and the
members are allowed to serve, the Senate will
consist of about forty members The slight Corr
stitutional prohibition against more than thirty
three would we suppose, amount to nothing.

three, Congressman and a Legislature that will

party issue. When they succeeded in previous
elections, other issues were brought into the con-
