RULES PROSPECTS.

Since the meeting of two large
conventions here on the oath of
August last, it has been apparent to
everybody that the Republican party
was hopelessly split, unless Houk
could be eliminated from politics
Many thousands of the old friends
of the party determined they could
not and would not support Houk
again after the new shameful disclos-
ures recently developed, concerning
his conduct, since he has been a Con
gresham. Men of character and
standing-men who never take active
part in political struggles, unless
some paramount necessity, either for
religion, morality, or our common
country requires it-men of age, ex-
periep ce-men with families-hund
reds OF such men, scattered every
where throughout the district, have
voluntarily set in motion those moral
forces which seem to slumber in
society until necessity calls them
forth, and these moral forces have
stirred up public sentiment, and
aroused the better influences, causing
a most marvellous change, and every
day since the question Of
Houk's fitness to represent an
honest, virtuous, intelligent and So
Der people, longer in a great Office
has been discussed. Mems eyes
have been opened. They have looked
around and found out that the
charges made are not campaign
falsehoods," but cold, undeniable
facts, partly admitted by Houk and
his followers; and to-day these
great moral forces, welded by the

best and wisest men in communities.
who come to the front and save So
ciety, when all seems lost. These
have already made such deep inn
pressions on the minds of candid,
thinking men, that we feel we can
say, without the fear of being known
as boastful or extravagant, that Mr..
Rule will surely be elected. The
great bulk of Houk's forces to,day
that are left are officeholders and
those they can influence, and per-
sons who have been promised Office,
pensions and claims. These he has
duped by claiming that he has Sc
cured claims and pensions, and not
our government, with it's regularly
organized departments and business
with its hundreds of paid men, have
done. Some few good mea disin-
terested, not belonging to either
class mentioned, still follow his
standard. Some, because they are
stubborn and refuse, in the face of
all the proof, to believe the truth.
Others, who have not yet examined
into the facts or considered what is
their duty-but day by day these
are leaving him. Many persons hav
ing claims and pension papers filed
are beginning to see the fraud he is
practicing upon them, and the office
holders themselves have taken time
since some of them went to such
extremes about the time of the con-
ventions, to think, reason and act
more discreetly. Many of these
officeholders now openly support
Mr.. Rule. Others will vote for him.,
without saying much, while other
good men and good officers have
gone back to their work, and are try
ing to do their duty. A few only
now seem crazy and reckless. In
fact, the campaign is not what it was
a month or a week ago. Mr..
Rule is having large crowds
to hear him, his friends are growing
more and more confident every day,
and more willing to work to elect
him, while Houk and his followers
grow more demoralized and despon,
dent every day.
We will yet see that the peo-
pie, the solid, substantial, moral
element still rule and govern in
this community as it should do
that the people will not re-elect such
a man as Houk to longer bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of a man
whose home is in this district.

TALMAGE AND THE TIGER.
What the Brooklyn ParsOn Knows
About Gambling.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
New YORK, October 1.-The fol-
lowing is an extract from the Rev.
Mr.. Talmage's sermon to-day on
gambling:
In these two cities and their vi
cinity are $500 professional gam
hlers. As much as it is your busi-
ness to import and sell goods, it is
their business to despoil everyone
they can. In all these years how
many gambling-houses have profess,
ed to be honest ones? Nine. And
these nine were only ante chambers
to those acknowledged to be frauds.
We go nhundred yards off Broadway.
We pass up marble stairs. A liveried
servant meets us at the door. The
walls are tinted The room has a
magnificent piece of furniture whose
cost I cannot compute. 1t is rou>
lette table. Near by is the banquet~
ing saloon; free drinks, free cigars,
everything free.
Pictures of ''Jephthas Daughter"
and of Dantes ''Frozen Region of
He'll" on the walls-most appropriate
picture that last. Laughter.
In the second-class gambling house
you are introduced to some roper>in.
There you find the sanded cards,
loaded dice and mixed drinks Pref j.,
ty soon your money is going to a
tune that is written in short meter
and no staccato passes. Laughter.
Doesn't the panther, croucnlng ready
to spring know calf when he sees
it Don't dare to wrangle for your
rights in den like that. They will
throw your dead body into the
streets.
See the inside of a pool-room.
Two numbers are a saddle, three
numbers gig, four numbersa horse.
Thousands of men spring into the
saddle, mount the horse and ride
pell NELL into perdition. The sign
says exchange" It is a wonder-
fully significant sign, where man
gives up wealth, honor and soul and
gets in return, loss of money, loss
of family, loss of having infinite ex~
change, awful exchange, everlasting
exchange.
A great many people wonder why
men of education go down into evil.
It is easily explained. They may
have been born with passion for
hazard. 1t is JOY for some to go
as near as possible to precipice.
They climb the Jungfrau not for the
landscape but for the feeling which
might happen if they should fall.
Such a persons blood is exhilarated
by skating near an air hole. They
delight to drive within two inches,
of the edge of bridge. Do not
blame such people for their passion,

Mexico is the greatest flower market in the
world. All the year round the gardens bring
forth brilliant blossoms fragile, beautiful
children of this tropic zone. All historians
who write of the Mexicans as MexCans, speak
of their love of flowers as one of their princi-
pal characteristics Nor is this trait dimin-
ished in the present generation. From the
days before the cruel conquest, all through
that merciless time, when the Mexicans bore
the heavy yoke under their violent masters,
the Spaniards, they remained faithful to their
love Of flowers; the passion is innate.
The legend in Spanish of "Vuelta Abajo,"
seen on Havana cigar boxes, and on many
that were yer out of this country. merely signi-
fees ''down that way" A Cuban states that
the expression originated as follows: cha
vana is the point from which radiate all roads
leading to the different portions of the Island
of Cuba. The western part of the island is
the best adapted to tobacco culture, and 1t is
from this section that our finest cigars come;
therefore cigars from Vuelto Abajo were those
from down that way East Of Havana the
land is not so good for the culture of tobacco,
and thus it is that we do not often see boxes
of cigars branded "vuelta ajaiba."
The comedy follows the tragedy. In the
Montezuma (Ga.) Weekly what follows APP
peared the other day; "a young man in our
town fell in love, but was too timid to verbal
ly ask his adored one for her hand, and SO
studied up novel way to propose. He sent
her two different colored roses and asked per-
mission to call that night, requesting her to
wear the red rose if she would have him, and
the white if not lie still dared not call with
the prospect of a refusal, and sent friend
to see which rose WIS worn. Everything was
as our friend wished it, and heis now hap
py."
The Andalusian bull6ghters met with poor
success in Gaudalajara. The people of that
place had so bad an opinion of their fighting
that they threw crockery, lemons, stones, sug-
arcane and gourds at the heads of the unfor-
tunate "toreadores."
