1t is worth 5000, 900 year to the pol.
iticians of Ohio to have Indiana dror
out of the list of October States. Both
parties will spend enough monev there
this fall to enable even the hack-driver;
to wear silk underclothes.
Mr.. Halstead processes to observe Q
sag in the middle of the Grant boom,
but we must remark that the Thiro
Term Army Of Salvation is marching
right along in the State of Missouri.

Cincinnati has her Mr.. Hickenloopel
and st. Louis her Hockaday. Now lei
us hear from Shekugger.

The Ohio man is forever having things
to suit himself. His is now the sole Oc
tober State of Importance, Indiana hav
ing retired from that conspicuous posi-
tion, and it will improve it to the ut
most. The Ohio man is bound to initiate
himself. His State is like unto him, and
both resemble the frog in the fable. Il
would be as big as the ox-that is, as the
United States. 1t swelled, but, good
Lord, how it did "bust."
A prominent Sherman man in Wash
ington says that the Sherman news is
good from everywhere but from Ohio,
that the campaign there gives the Sher-
man men much anxiety, as there seems
to be lack of harmony in the Republi-
can ranks which it is difficult for Sher-
mans friends adequately to explain to
outsiders. This, substantially, is con-
fession of weakness which may be taken
as paving the way for an explanation of
defeat. Sherman's Ohio fences are down,
and he can't mend 'em. That's all, and,
as to Sherman, it's great deal.

Warner M. Bateman, who charged
Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune,
with attempting to "bulldoze" Secretary
Sherman into multiplying the resumption
act, replies to Medill's denial that he had
made such attempt, and his assertion
that he was in favor of the resumption
act, with long open letter, in which he
quotes from editorials in the Chicago
Tribune by the dozen during the time
named, opposing the resumption act
most bitterly, prophesying "blue ruin"
for individuals as well as the Nation and
running the whole gamut of abuse as to
Sherman. This certainly settles Mr..
Medilps opinion as to the resumption
act. Mr.. Bateman reaffirms his state
ment which has been corroborated by
Secretary Sherman that Mr.. Medill hal
conversation with him in which he ex-
pressed the same sentiments and abuse
that appeared in those editorials. MIR.
Medill has the foor-if he is able to
stand up.

There's vacancy among the terrific
rial governorships. The Ohio man will
appear, of course, as a claimant, but by
reason of that philosophy of geographical
distribution strenuously insisted upon
by politicians, but not referable to any
known principle of justice or good sense
in administration, Michigan will assert
the claim for one of her sons, the only
reason being that a Michigan man had
been the incumbent.

The Grant boom is "petering out"
from a Washington view of the situa-
Cincinnati Commercial. How
could it be otherwise, with the editors of
the Commercial and Gazette both in
Washington looking through double con-
cave lenses of prejudice. The editor
could tie his head in a meal bag and get
a better "view Of the situation" than usu-
ally appears in the Commercial.
The Tribune writhed again yesterday
under the merciess lash of Mr.. Bateman.
If it can make no better defense than to
stand off and make faces and call hard
names, people will soon make UP their
minds about where the shoe pinches.

Governor Bishop is reported as having
been in New York for several days, with
a Vice-Presidential bee in his bonnet.
He thinks Tilden and Bishop would
prove winning card.
Paine, of Ohio, is said to be Tilden's
preference, should ne fail to receive the
nomination himself. According to the
Boston Herald correspondent, however,
Mr.. Tilden, while conceding that he has
preference, denies that he has ever yet
signified to living man who the lucky
object of that preference is.
Now that Senator Thurman has been
limited in his use of tobacco, the cable
conveys the startling intelligence that
Gambetta has been required to suppress
his inclination in this regard altogether.
Nor is this all; the great German
Chancellor has been forced to abandon
his beer.
