FOSTERS ACTIVE CAMPAIGN WORK.
Mr.. Foster has not been idle since the convention

active preliminary work; visiting many of the close

THE GERMANS AND TIE DISABLED VETERANS.
In Cincinnati Mr. Foster learned that the Repub-
Ncap party is in capital condition. its leaders work
ing in hearty accord and its success in carrying
Hamilton County for It's State and Legislative tick
cts conceded by the Democrats. The Germans,
powerful and controlling element, much given TO
independent yotingare hostile to Ewing on account
of his soft-money theories, which they hold IN after
adherence. They have. besides, a local cause for
opposlnp the Democrats. The last Legislature
passed an act of the most grossly outrageous parti
san character, turning out Of Office the Board of
Public Works Just elected in Cincinnati, and en-
noweripg Democratic Police Justice TO APPOINT
new board. This petty official appointed the very
men whom the people had defeated at the polls.
The Germans are indignant at the accomplishment
Of this scheme to defraud the people OF their right
to municipal selgOvernment, scheme which was
freely exposed when brought forward IN the Legs
iature and was put through without an argument
in its favor by the brute force OF Democratic ma
jorty.
In DAYTON Nr Foster found the Republicans
hopeful of carrying the Soldiers Home vote, and
thus recovering control Of Montgomery County.
There are about 5000 voters in the Home, and
large majority of them used to be Republicans The
Board Of Managers, composed at that time entirely
Of Republicans thought politics should be kept out
of the institution and refused TO allow meetings to
be held and clubs organized among the disabled
veterans The Democrats Of Dayton found means
of doing effective political work within the insti
tuition. while the Republicans were obeying the
rules. and finally managed to capture majority Of
its vote One Of their most successful tricks was to
