WARNER MILLER, member Of the lower
House of Congress, was elected last Fri
day to the U. S. Senate, to succeed Platt.
Great excitement prevailed at Albany
at the result. 1t seems that Speaker
Sharpe and several others, followers of
Conkling, went over and did the busi-
ness. The only thing Mr.. Miller repre-
sents is the wood-pu!p monopoly, of
which he is a leading member. This sent
him to Congress, and no doubt sends
him to the Senate. He has never been
heard of as man of Calibre.

sPRINGFIELD AND BooKWALTER.

Springfield is the sixth city in Ohio
Because of her excellent manufactures
and business prosperity, she ranks nlgn
among the cities of Ohio and its sister
States. For the first time in the city's
history, it has been honored by the se-
lection of one of it's citizens as a Candi.
date for the highest Office of honor and
trust in the State-that of Governor. The
honor is indeed great one, and Spring
field is too patriotic, too proud, too grate-
full and generous not to warmly reclpro'
cate it. The city Of Springfield is asked
to give one of her citizens to become
Governor of Ohio. She will respond
nobly, she will use all of her fine courage
and magnificent strength to give to Ohio
the Governor it wants. Fortunately. the
man that Ohio asks for her Governor is
one Of Springfeld's foremost citizens,
one of her ablest, shrewdest, wealthiest
and best men, one OF her self-made men,
one of the manufacturers Of which she is
30 Justly proud. One of the two great
parties of Ohio has asked for John W.
Bookwalter for Governor. The people
of Springfield will exert their utmost to
give the State the man it has called for.
They will use every honorable endeavor
to elect M. Bookwalter just as they
would to elect VIM. N. Whiteley, Oliver
Kelly, Jerome Fasslar. Asa Bushnell
Benz. H. Warder, P. P. Mast, John II.
Thomas, Robert Johnson, or any other
of her manufacturers. The NeaCS, inde'
pendent in politics as in all things else,
would, from local pride and as recogni'
tion of the high merit of the man, re-
spond as quickly, wbrmly and untiringly
to the support Of any of the gentlemen
named, should they be called to the same
or pny other State Office. John W. Book
walter is one of Springfeld's self-made
men, one of the manufacturers that have
made Springfield so prosperous and hon.
ored city. Springfield has good cause
to be proud of him. And she will
proudly strive to place him in the high

A Springfield public we'll understands
the course Of a daily sheet of this city
which is seeking notice and notoriety by
calumny and personal abuse of Mr..
Bookwalter. As long as he bestowed
upon the said sheet his pstronage-and
large one it was, too-they licked his
feet, as they do all from whom they re-
ceive any considerable patronage. And
were he to-day patron of said sheet, its
opposition to him would be but negative,
Long ago, as mere business measure,
he withdrew his patronage from this
sheet, and it now retaliates by disCharg-
ing it's batteries of long pent up malice
and venom from behind a safe opportu-
nity.-Springtfeld Sunday NeaCS,

SENATOR PENDLEToN made a serenade
speech from the balcony of the Park
hotel, Columbus, on Wednesday evening
of last week. He spoke mainly of
the spoils system that has assumed such
deadly dangerous proportions under Re-
publican rule. He referred to the cor
ruptions of the system; to the vast in.
crease Of officials, and to the danger to
our free institutions. It was a pleasing
and happy effort and was frequently ap-
plauded. He referred to the excellent
State ticket nominated by theConyention
and spoke hopefully of the result.

CHARLES FOSTER was nominated two
years ago, and is renominated for no
other reason than that he is a skilled po-
litical triCkster and unprlncipled as all
such fellows are. Foster sold out John
Sherman at the Chicago convention last
year, and helped to nominate Garfield.
He was one of the managers of the
Hayes fraud four years ago, and is ia.
miliar with corruption and Crookedneps'
Contrast such man as Foster with
John W. Bookwalt,r. The latter has
sympathies with honest labor; was
brought up to work; never sold calico to
soldiers widows at rs cents q yard as
Foster has. In fact Mr.. Bookwalter has
benefited the world by invention, and
given employment to men thereby. He
has been bsnefsctor; not so Charles
Foster, the triCkster.
