An emissary of The Boaon Herald, considerable
assistant Democratic newspaper, has been travel
ling over Vermont in search of q third term senti
ment He found little talk about Presidential can
didates, bat concluded, partly from what be heard
and partly from his inner-cOnscGGSaeSs that Grant

Chairman Robinson, of the Ohio Republican State
Committee, tells a reporter of The ClerelGRd Herald
hat it is pretty well understood that Charles Foster
will be the partys candidate for Governor next year
He has doubt that he II be elected, and Is conf
dent that hard work will give the Republicans the
Legislature also, thus securing the United States
SenatOrship The present efforts of the Democrats
to nominate somo other man than Foster for tho
Republicans show how much they fear him. Thur
man cOnfesses the same tear when he declines to
run.
There is no young Democrat in Ohio more highly
respected than Judge SanuelF. Hunt, of Cincinnati,
and there is none worthy OF respect He ia
one Of the few men who able to that nothing
Is lost by recognizing merit in opponent. AT
banquet In Cleveland last week. he began his speech
in response to the toast, "The President of the
United States" by alluding to the absence Of Gen
eral Garfield and then added =" II Ohio is TO have
the next President and If the party of his political
belief to have the President, there is no gentle
man all this country who would bring more cul-
ture more patriotism and more fidelity 10 the dis
charge Of the duties Of the Office than General Car
field, of Ohio"
Ohio has one Democratic statesman whose cour-
age never weakens. Is il necessary to say that
he bears the afectionate title OF Your Uncle Dick
At this very moment when Thurman falters aud
dares not for Governor lest he be thrown out Of
the Presidential entries as too slow, Your Uncle
Dick presents serene front, and shows an unmis-
taxable Willingness TO run for Governor, United
States Senator, aud President all at once. He will
take one office or all three and won't grumble
bit. The chances are that if he lost all three he
would take the blow like philosopher and return
to his groceries without muruur. Ohio has pro-
duccd many great men, but none greater IN hs way
than Uncle DICK.
Every Democratic newspaper IN the land finds
plenty of room to publish two or three columns OF
letters from successful buldozers in South Car
OlinS. declaring that the recent election there was
managed in the sweetest spirit of Christian brother
hood and that all reports the contrary are " Rad
cal lies" but uot Democratic Editor has vet been
able to give Mr.. James b. Campbell hearing Not
one of them mas been able to say word about the
ex-Confederate who declares he was bulidozcd Ont
Of a seat IN Congress IN Mississippi because the
negroes supported him. aud not one OF them has
found space to print five-line reference TO the
ease Of the eN-COnfedcTatc IN Arkansas who was
threatened with murder because he presumed 10 run
for Mayor of Helena against the Bourbon ticket
