The Cincinnati Gazette has made can
vass of Republican sentiment in Ohio, as to
presidential preferences-having obtained the
opinion of more than four thousand repre-
sentative men of the party, in eighty differ
ent localities. The result of the canvass
shows that John Sherman is Ohio's fAvorite
son, and will have the electoral vote of the
State in the next Republican convention.
The canvass of the Gazette shows prefer
ence of 1889 for Sherman, 500 for Blaine,
and 54l for Grant, with Garfield fourth in
the list, with following of 1928. This seems
to be as conclusive as anything can be that
Secretary Sherman win have the preference
of Ohio Republicans over all the opposing
candidates.

In December, 1875, the national House of
Representatives passed, without debate, the
following resolution:
That, in the opinion of this House, the
precedent established by Washington and
other Presidents of the United States, in re-
firing from the presidential office after their
second term, has become, by universal con-
currence, part of our republican system of
government, and that any departure from
this time-honored custom would be unwise,
unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free
institutions.
The vote was 233 in the affirmative, and IS
in the negative. On the negative side was no
man of note of either party

The people who have been so fond of say
ing there is no justice for poor men in the
courts ought to moderate their assertions Nf-
ter reading the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, which
held, in q recent case against a railroad cor
poration, that employers must not expose
their employees TO peril which can be guard
ed against, and, if the servant reports defec-
tive or unsafe machinery, the master be-
comes responsible if the repair or restoration
is not promptly made.

A Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says that the report recently
circulated of General Grants declination of
the nomination for President is not credited
by his friends, who believe that he is at the
service of his party. Secretary Sherman de-
MES the charge that he has sought to gain
popularity in the South through Treasury Of
ficials, many of whom, he says, favor Grant.
1t is believed that the delegations from Vir-
giniA and North Carolina, and perhaps South
Carolina and Florida, will favor Sherman,
thus breaking the Solid South, which has
been counted for Grant in the Convention.
Wisconsin is said to be for Blaine.

week. A son of Lewis Duckett, color

with his finger on the trigger. and this
man asked to see the pistol. Young
Duckett refused to hand it to him and
he grasped it by the barrel to pull it
out Of Duckett's hand. AS he did so
the pistol fired, and killed the negro.
The deceased was buried without any
inquest, the neighbors thinking that as
it was an accident no inquest was ne
