The Chicago Times thinks the Bal
timore Gazette in error when it says
that Senator Thurman has degcner-
ated aom a statesman into n truck
ling ~time-server," saying that she is
Just as much a statesman now a ever,
which is a very small pattern Of a
statesman indeed" The Times does
not seem to admire prominent Dem-
ocrats as much as it did some years
ago. AT all events it does not feel
called upon to praise them simply be-
cause they are Democrats.

VIII the Democrats carry Ohio this
year? The Republican papers of that
State have a very confident way of
speaking; the Cincinnati Gzzette, for
instance, which says: 1.-THE prospects
Of a sweeping Republican victory this
fall are growing brighter every day.
They are brighter now than they
were at the first of the month, and
were brighter then than on the fist
Of June. This remark is not made in
the way of campaign Boosting, but
as the deliberate conclusion formed
from a large number of letters, con-
versations with men in different parts
of the State and a careful examination
Of the country weekly papers. The
Republicans are everywhere hopeful.
The Democrats are respondent"

have done them by means OF the badges which
they had IN their possession before they were dis

police for representing themselves as Gus ON

Collector Arthur had heard no complaints OF

thought the Custom House rules were so strict
that nobody Could successfully practice such
