Rear angling Ohio Congress Districts.
GEN. GROsvENoR's OPINION OF THE PRoPkR
COURSE FOR THE REPUBLICANs-TwENTY-ON
DISTRICTS INSTEAD OF TWENTY.
A telegram to the N. Y Times from Cleveland.
Ohio, says: Gen. Charles H. Grosvenor, one of
the leading republican managers of the state,
and who knows as much about the inside work
OF the republican party of the state as any man.
is In Cleveland on some quiet political work.
and consented to give his views on the coming
congressional redistricting. He thinks that
there will be 81 districts instead Of the 20 now
existing. In his opinion three leading ideas
will control the legislature in its work First,
similarity or hOmogenety Of inter-
ests-mining counties together and agricultural
counties together; second, that of accessibility
for the communication between different parts
must be taken into consideration: third care
should be taken that the republican party main
tam It's Just supremacy in the Congressional
delegations. No district ought to be shaped one
way or another for the purpose Of turning out
any one now in Congress. and especially no dis
trict should be shaped with the view Of putting
any particular person into Congress. 'There is
one idea" he said, that ought to be followed
out by the republicans. | think it is a leriti-
mate right which they have. and that is
to form the districts so as to take
close counties that have heretofore been
generally democratic and put them into rcpub
lican districts. | would do this as measure of
fair play. and with view of affecting favorably
to the republicans the future elections of Sena-
tors in the legislatures. For instance. Williams.
Hardin, Madison. Franklin. Perry. Muskingum,
Belmont. Ross Highland Adams. Cermont,
Tuscarawas. and Hancock counties ought to be
put into republican districts Hamilton county
is always debatable ground. and there are two
districts There ought. perhaps, to be two or
three other doubtful and about five democratic,
districts"
considering that the republican majority in
the state does not exceed from Is. eco to &c. 600
is not that an unfair scheme!"
"NO it is not. and for this reason: If it were
not for the heavy democratic maiOrities in the
Miami Valley and way up toward the north
west and over in the districts represented by
Anterior. Geddes. and Converse the republican
majority in the state would be very largely in
creased. In other words. take q map Of the
state, and color the counties that went demo-
cratic white and those that went republican red
and you Will find that the democratic majorities
cover only very small proportion oi the entire
map of the state. | do not believe that over
One-iourth of the states circumference Ger
tanly not One-third. gave democratic malorities
and these counties cluster together" Although
Gen GrosvenOr is not i'm the legislature it can
be considered as certain that his views coincide
with those of majority OF the republican mem-
hers

FROM the Lewiston (Me.) journal.
Every little scrap of leather that flies from the
cutters knives in the Auburn shoe shops is
saved, and either goes into leather board, shoe
heels or grease. Who says this isn't an econom-
zeal age' About two months ago factory was
started for making shoe heels in Auburn They
now have about twenty-five hands at work and
are making about one hundred and twenty
cases of heels per day, or about 1900 heels.
Inc heels are made entirely of small scraps of
upper leather. The scraps are first cut into the
right shape by dies. They are then packed and
sent to Chelsea. Mass, where the oil is extracted
from them by secret process. They come back
dry, and are then pasted together in wooden
heel mOlds. The grease is extracted in order
that the heels may be FURNISHED. They take as
nice polish as genuine sole leather heel. All
the pieces that will not go into heels are dried
out, and the firm gets two or three barrels of
grease per week from this source. 1t is used
again for leather dressing. The firm is endeav-
Oring to obtain possession of the naphtha pro-
cess of extracting the oil from the whole pieces
and thus save the expense of shipping to Massa-
chusetts. Their heels are largely used in Au-
burn, and sell at S1.3O to $40 per case.

FLusHING'S Color WAR.-The question of
admitting colOred children to the Flushing high

feeling among the residents of that village. The
board of education held meeting yesterday at

couraged them to demand admission to the high
school, Mr.. Downing denounces the statement
