The Ohio Republicans are becoming
very confident There is great danger in
that sort of thing.
Baltimore Gazette, Dem.
Carl Schurz is accompanied in his Ohio
campaign by a German Count named
Danhof. When Mr.. Schurz was playing
the role of Red Republican and Com
munist in Germany, in 1913, it is doubt
full whether he could have found a Count
willing to associate with him.

John Sherman was reported lying at
Mansfield quite i'll. 1t may be hoped
that his deep concern for the welfare Of
Casanave has not Frustrated him.
louisville Courer-Journal (Dem.)]
Mr.. John Sherman's recent speech at
Cincinnati was full Of grossly false state
ments, as usual, with reference to the
Democratic party. When he charged
that Democrats as a party are initiation
lists, determined to "ruin the country"
with a demoralized currency, he said
what he knew was not so. Mr. Sherman
knows that a number of Republicans
(and very large number) and a number
of Democrats went into the greenback
initiation movement, and he knows that
so many Republicans went into it in
Maine that his party lost the State last
year. He knows that Democratic party
is historically for hard money or sound
currency based on the solid metal.

ave Republicans stand boldly on our
whole record" shouted Grandfather Taft
at Cleveland the other night. Then
Grandfather Taft and those for whom he
speaks stand boldly on a record embrac-
ing the Credit Mobilier briberies, the
San Domingo job, the Whisky Ring
frauds, the General Order Storehouse
frauds, the straw-bid postal contract
frauds, Secor Robeson, Belknap, Babcock,
Williams, the brotherin-law and second
cousin plan of running the Government,
the invasion of State Legislatures by
Federal troops, the Returning Board ras-
caiities, perjuries and forgeries, and their
resultant--the fraudulent Hayes. Grand
father Taft is a bold man.
New York Tribune, Rep.l
Judge Taft is evidently not soured a
bit by his failure to get the nomination
for Governor Of Ohio. He has entered
heartily into the canvass and shares in
the enthusiasm which pervades the Re.
publican ranks. While in Cleveland he
was questioned as to the situation in
Hamilton County, the pivotal point in
the State. He gave it as his opinion that
the county would give majority for the
Republican State ticket, and that all the
candidates of the same party for the
Legislature would have votes to spare
Judge Taft is too cool an observer not tt
know what he is talking about
Boston Traveller, Rep.l
If it were not plain that Ewing
forces are badly demoralized by th'
holding aloof of the Democratic lead
ers who do not desire his success, W.
should doubt the wisdom of making thu
money question the first issue in the
Ohio canvass. The events of the extri
session have naturally given the fsca
policy of the Republican party subor
dinate place, and although, as things ar
shaping themselves in Ohio, the Stat
will probably he carried by the Foste
ticket, the defeat of the Ohio Democrac.
would have been at once more conclusive
and significant, if the canvass were mad'
to turn upon the paramount question
raised by the votes of Congress and thu
vetoes Of the President.
[Chicago Tribune Rep.l
The bidding in Ohio is becoming more
spirited. Within a week the Republi

thirty thousand majority, and more il
coming.

By negecting his post at Washington
and going to Ohio and taking part in &
heated political canvass, Mr.. Schurz il
showing that his theories and homilie'
on civil service reform were not aimed al
the higher grades Of officials, but were
intended to apply only to the small fel
lows who get 81 200 year, and are re-
quired to bend over their desks and pc
rambulate the wharves six or seven days

Few outside pockets are seen in the
