The latest We have from the Kansas
Editorial excursion to Put-in-Bay Is
from the Toledo Bee. They were then
leaving Toledo by steamer, and were en-
ioying themselves to the fullest extent.
While the steamer was threading its
way across the Lake, the members pres.
emit inaugurated a little presentation
scene. which eliminated in making Col.
Jno. A. Martin the pleased recipient of
. fine gold-headed cane. 1t was pre-
sented to him by the Association as
slight appreciation of his untiring efforts
to make their trip both delightful and
enjoyable. They are reported to have
arrived at Put-in-Bay in due time, and
there took in all the sights; explored
the Island, and enjoyed good time.
When they returned to Toledo, they
took . trip to Niagara Falls over the
Canada Southern railroad upon invita-
tation of its manager. The excursion
arrived homo the latter part Of last
week, and We shall expect to see more
extended account of the trip from those
who participated.

REPRESENTATION IN STATE CONyEN.
IIlN

Our suggestion to the Republican State
Central Committee in favor of basing the
representation to tho State Convention
upon the Republican vote, has been re-
ceived with eppsral appreciation by the
press. The Commonwealth prepared .
table wherein the representation was
partly based upon the Republican vote.
Ii we are TO make change we see no
reason why it should not be complete,
and would therefore suggest tho follow
ing plan of apportionment:
W. l.. Simons, one OF the candidates
for Presidential Elector, received 1886
votes. Allowing one delegate for every
30ovotes, wswould have convention OF
261 delegates. The report of the Score
tary of State for 1876 shows that IL coun-
ties cast less than 800 votes. Giving
each of these counties one delegate
and We have 24s delegates remaining to
be divided among the other counties. If
We then allow one delegate for every 800
votes, and one in addition for every frac-
ton of $50 and over, We have an appor-
tionment which will be fair and equita-
ble. and one which we trust the commit
tee will adopt. The following table gives
xbo erporfionmAnt in detail:

Competent Juror.


Valuable time and money have recently been
wasted in this city and prompt, effective action
has been delayed in the formation of a jury,
by an embarrassment similar to that expert
enced In the Beecher. Tilton case By such oc-
currences, the most important interests of the
people are in danger of being placed in the
hands of men who are destitute of moral prin-
cipal. simply because many conscientious
juror hesitates about saying ''no;" when he
is asked whether she has formed, or expressed
an opinion concerning some act that is agi-
tating an entire community. Permit me to
suggest for the benefit of such juror:
LIST. No sensible person ought ever to have
an opinion on any subject in which he has not
a direct Dersonal interest, that would unfit him
for being an unprejudiced juror.
End. If man has permitted himself TO be-
come the dupe of public frenzy, he ought
frankly to confess it. and never consent to ST.
in judgement under such circumstances.
3rd. Hence an intelligent juror may consis-
tently say that she has not formed, or express
ed an opinion which would prevent him from
rendering decision according to law and ev-
idence in the case pending" Such an answer
ought to satisfy all parties, and it might justly
be repeated dd iafinitlon. SC
