"Charley' Foster is shaking hands with
the people of Ohio at a great rate, and
all the indications are that the people
will "shake" Charley vigorously next Oc-
tober. One good shake deserves another.

The good Deacon Smith should read
the Gospel according to st. Luke.

Mr.. z. D. Mansfield, of the Cincinnati
Gazette, says Charles Osborn, minister
of the Society of Friends, published the
first anti-slavcry newspaper in the United
States; it was called the Philanthro pist,
and was published at Mt. Pleasant, Ohio,
in 1916. 1t has been generally supposed
that Lundy's Genius of Liberty, printed
at Jonesboro, Tenn, in 1921, was the
first; but Mr.. Mansfield is authority
upon such subjects.

Mr.. Charlie Foster, the Republican
candidate for Governor of Ohio, has ac-
ceptcd a challenge to discuss the Green

NJ. Cory. This is great oversight on
the part of Foster. Hand-shaking and
"mixing" constitute his strength with
the people. If he ever gets into a real
controversy with Cory and PiatU he will
be talked into an early grave, but we
half suspect that the shrewd Charles has
entered into an arrangement with the
Greenback champions whereby he will
meet them and vanquish them in debate
and thus build himself up as debater.
We can tell all about it when we see the
report of the first joint debate.

The Democratic papers of Ohio are
now printing extracts fr m Congressman
Fosters report of 1875, on the state of
the South, in opposition to the report of
Messrs. Hoar, Wheeler and Frye. Thus
do curses, like chickens, come home to
roost. A stalwart Republican would
have been free from this class of annoy
anCes.
baltimore Bulletin.]
A leading Ohio Republican, friend,
too, of Mrs Hayes, has had the temerity
to declare himself in favor of Grant in
preference to Sherman. 1t will now be
in order to take away his office from him
for, of course, no Ohio man is without
an office.

1t is not surprising that Deacon Rich
ard Smiths announcement of his young
townslnan's tail has caused q sensatio
in Cincinnati. The minds of the people
of that city have been turned from the
tranquil contemplation of the beauties of
the Probasco fountain, and seized by a
terror more terrible than the dread of a
yellow fever epidemic. The grounds of
this new terror have been stated in the
Cincinnati Gazette and other local news
papers quite as coherently as can be ex-
pected under the circumstances. What
does this awful tail mean? Does it sig
Nifty that the inhabitants of the Paris of
America, having evouted to the highest
possible point of civilized development,
are now beginning to evolute backward,
under the operation of the laws of reac-
ton? VIII Cincinnati soon be peopled
with a population all wearing tails? Will
the retrogressive process stop at the
caudal point? If not, whittier are they
drifting? These are the tremendous ques-
tions that are concerning the neighbors
of Deacon Richard Smith, of the Cincin.

| If a word of announcement from this
distance can aid in averting a panic in
Cincinnati, we hasten to say that in oul
opinion there are yet no serious grounds
for alarm. 1t is possible, and even like
ly, that for some years to come there may
be sporadic cases of tails in Cincinnati
These, perhaps, may be accompanied by
further developments in the way of hoofI
and horns. In a community where the
growing generation is subjected to the
influence and example of so diabolical {
crew as the wicked partners of Deacon
Richard Smith, this is no more than il
to be expected. The remedy, however
is plain and simple. We once more en-
treat the truly good man to purge hi

sequences.
[Pittsburg Telegraph
A witness before the Congressional
Committee in Cincinnati explained tina
great many Democrats voted for But
terworth because they thought Sayler too
lazy. That is the worst blow Sayler ha.
suffered yet. And if laziness is to b'
urged as an objection to ordinary states
men the country will have to learn t.
govern itself.
