THE DAILY STAR
GOOD THINGS AND BAD,
Which Are Written Of Some Ohio Men.

New York SUM-
An Ohio man met weeping woman
and kissed away her tears. The jury
found verdict for the plaintiff to the
amount of $3, 800.

Gen. Garfield will have no difficulty in
Alling completely Senator Thurman's
seat. The difficulty will be to find q
man large enough to fill the vacated seat
In the House. From present appear
-ances there is no lack of men, in Garfeld's
district who consider themselves possessed
of the requisite dimensions.
[st Louis Post-Dispatch.l
If it were not for the prejudice against
Ohio men, Gen. Garfield would be a
formidable Republican candidate for
President. As it is, he comes very near
having a sure thing on an invitation to
the Vice Presidency.
If Mr.. Bishop knows what is whole
some for him he will renounce politics
and slide back into the grocery business,
where his talents will have full play.
tPittsburg Telegraph
Congressman Butterworth has a petit
tion from Cincinnati druggists praying
for the repeal of the special tax on patent
medicines, perfumery and cosmetics,
Congress will probably reply that they
who want these luxuries should be con
tent to pay for them.

Garfield takes his toga as though he
were born to it, or as if it were a retainer
In pavement case.
New York Tribunei
The Democrats of Ohio are in trouble
and with good reason. The ghost of the
late Senator Thurman has appeared with
a card hanging about his neck having
the inscription: "Please, am still a
Presidential candidate" Close upon
thls startling apparition has come a
proclamation from John G.. Thompson
In behalf of the Executive Democratic
Committee, that it will not be necessary
to hold State Convention till after the
National Convention has met
This not only gives Thompson's
Committee the right to appoint
four delegates-at-large to the
National Convention, but it shuts off the
party from its cherished privilege of
making declaration of principles and
hstructing its delegates. The conse-
quence is that there is great wrath in the
Anti-Thurman wing of the party, which
Is represented by the Cincinnati En-
quirer, and there is loud talk about "sti-
fling the most sound rights Of the party"
"suspending the right of free Speech"
and "gagging the Ohio Democracy" in
order that it may say only what the Ma
tional Democracy declares it ought to
say. 1t is dreadful situation. For
the first time in its history the Ohio
Democracy is in danger of having its
mouth plugged up. Thompson is bold,
had man.
[st Louis Post-Dspatch1
Cincinnati will probably secure the
next Democratic National Convention
If St. Louis can't come in, we unhesita-
tingly pronounce for Cincinnati. Let
the Convention be held on the shady
ide of the Alleghenies at all events.
TChicago Inter-Oeean.l
"Senator Thurman" says an exchange,
"takes no interest in politics now" He
Is perhaps engaged in enjoying the fra
GRANGE of "the flowers that bloom on the
garden wall of party politics" There
are lots of politicians the public would
like to see turned out to pasture before
Thurman; bitter partisan as he is, there
is a manliness and fairness about him
which even his opponents admire and
respect.
The editors of Cincinnati papers ought
70 lose no sleep in mourning over "the
dying out of the Grant BOOM" Bless
your souls, the boom has not yet begun.
While the Gazette is flying from County
tpsCounty, button-holing fifty men in
each, it is only proving thing that
everybody has long known-that Ohio is
very fond of John Sherman. The State
has pride in the great Secretary, and
Tightfully SO. But Ohio is not going
to decide the question. Hel
Republican majority will yield
to the voice Of the nation
as will every other State. To say in ad.
vance 1--WE will not support" this man
or that is idle talk that will scare nc
one, nor will it attract to the standard il
strives to move to the front. Politicians
may as we'll understand the fact that
there never was period when it was
more necessary to consult the whole peo.
pie than now. But whether they con
suit them or not, the people will be
heard, and that the decision will be wise
and Just The Inter-Ocean has at no time
doubted.
\ Louisville Courier-Journall
\ Tecumseh Sherman has been for fif
teen years inflated with the fiction that
he Is a great military leader-greatel
even than Grant-and rests his fame
upon what is called "Sherman's march
to the Sea-" Geant punctured this wind
bag by declaring himself the author Of
the "March to the Sea-" and latterly
Gen. Boynton has been showing upor
what q slender basis Sherman's military
reputation rests. Tecumseh has, in fact
been sailing under false colors. His only
occupation for years has been that of 8
