SINCE John w. Forney came out for
Hancock the Radical papers are pitch
ing INTO him most numerically. But
Forney will probably survive their
attacks while the II. p. will have
enough business to occupy their time
during the coming campaign in de-
nouncing the men who desert their
ranks. So. let the fight proceed.
GARFIELD, the Republican candidate
for President, was politely asked by
his constituents to resign his seat in
Congress; Arthur, their candidate for
Vice President. was bounced from the
New York Collectorship office by
Hayes and Sherman, aud Jewell, the
Chairman of their National Commit
tee, was kicked out of Grants Cabi-
net. They are sweet scented set.
The German papers all over the
country declare the Democratic ticket
is without blemish. and while those
of Republican procliyities do not give
it a very active support they do not
say anything to its detriment. The
probability is that the great mass of
the German voters will go back on
Garfield and give Hancock their heal
ty support.
A NEW YORK correspondent de-
ciares that the subject of Garfield's
dcclination of the Presidential nomi-
nation is seriously talked of in politi-
Cal circles in that city, and would oc-
casion no surprise among those who
occupy the inner rooms in the Repub-
lican sanctuary. Garfield's education
however, lacks the ingredient necessa-
ry to impel him to decline anything
offered to him.
THE Republican papers, knowing
the vulnerability Of Garfield on ac-
count of his jobbery and support of
the great monopolists. m and of Arthur
for his Custom House frauds. for
which he was bounced by Hayes and
Sherman, are anxious to avoid a per-
sonal campaign. They seem to forget
the vile and bitter personal abuse they
have heaped upon all prominent Dem
ocrats for these many years. But the
only personal abuse of which these
Radical editors complain is the repub-
Iication of the very charges their own
papers have uttered against their can
didates.

Editor Democratic Press:
DEAR SIR: I understand that one
of the strong points made by the Nc
Guffey Agents with your School Board
was that the Appleton Readers were
retailed in certain near by cities at less
than wholesale rates. or course your
people must not be allowed to reap the
benefit OF any such. competition. If
the members of your Board had desir-
ed to purchase McGuffey Readers. the
Agent could easily have directed them
to several small towns not q hundred
miles from Rayenna, where they would
have no trouble in making the pur-
chase ut 20 per cent less than the whole.
sale prices. Allow me to suggest to
your School Board that they levy q
small tax for the especial benefit of HI.
r. w. H., and Van Antwerp, Bragg &
Co., and thereafter allow the people to
purchase Readers or any other books
where they can get the full value for
their money.
