ers with Prostitutes Opinions Of a
Republican Newspaper.

WAsHINGToN,,D. G., Sept. 22.-The New
York Times to-day has the following
Cincinnati dispatch:
a remark of Governor Foster made
first in speech at Akron. and repeated
in an interview with a correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gd2ette, has given the
most serious offence to all saloon keepers
and their numerous following among
the Germans, and has added fuel to the
fire already blazing around the Republic
can party. Said the Governor, speaking
of the issue in the present campaign:
''In this fight the prostitutes and saloon
keepers arraigned together against the
intelligent classes" The Democratic
press has been at pains to reproduce
these words with all the prominence
italics can give them, and the saloon
keepers and the Germans have cut them
out, and many of them are showing the
slip and talking about it daily.
| What the Governor expected to gain
by such remark it is in this corner of
| the State hard to surmise. It is putting
1t low to say chat in CINCINNATI alone the
remark will cost the Republicans one
| thousand votes. In some of the rura
districts it may have the opposite effect
i but even granting that the balance will
be maintained the political wisdom
which prompted the making and repeat
ling of such remark is of very doubt
full quality. That it will defeat Cover
nor Fosters aspirations to succeed Geo
Ell. Pendleton in the United States Sen
ate may be set down as pretty certain
A fund will certainly be raised to b.
used in securing his defeat either for the
Senate or for any other Office he may
aspire to hold, and prominent German
said to-day there would be no difficulty
in swelling it to $500, 900. A mucl
smaller sum used in the Ohio Legislator,
would defeat any candidate in singh
night.
Tt seems like a mild statement to ga!
that the Governor is politically dead; bu
those who doubt it most will be found tt
know the least about the German char
acter. No people are more sensitive re
garding their rights, and the right to sci
and drink beer is one about which nj
doubt is likely to soon arise in thei
minds. To class those who sell it witt
prostitutes. they consider not only al
insult to all in that business. but also al
objectionable sneer at their most dis
tinctive National custom. That Gov
ernor Foster should have allowed hi
zeal for the triumph of his party In th
. rural districts to have caused him to for

tant date is likely to be quite as surprit

a Four Million Steal.

In his address before the New York
State Bar Association Attorney General
Brewster said that it is the conviction of
those who have the best means of know
ing that the government has been robbed
Of more than four million dollars by the
star route thieves. This show that the
extent of the shameful plundering is
even greater than has popularity been
supposed OF this enormous sum the
government is not likely to recover any
considerable part, and it is doubtful
whether it ever succeeds in getting q
dollar back. This makes it all the more
imperative that the thieves be brought
to Justice in criminal court, and should
they be landed securely in prison, where
they belong, the people will bear with
less regret the loss of the money o
which they have been robbed. " X

REVOLT AGAINST THE srALwARTs
Republican Newspapers In New York
Repudlate the Work Of the Bosses.

NEW York, September 28.-The Stall
wart victory at Saratoga Is fast turning
TO dust and ashes. There are ominous
signs Of great popular revolt against
the arrogant bosses. Another influential
Republican newspaper has bolted the
nomination OF Folger. The Albany
Evening Journal says:
"Plain words are best. The Saratoga
convention has signally failed to respond
70 the sentiments OF the Republican par
ty. The convention which evolved the
nomination Of Folger from the chaos of
turbulent body and an incapable chair
man was not the convention which the
people elected at the primaries.
Treachery. greed and cowardice ran
a swift race through thehotel cor
riders at Saratoga, Tuesday night.
to the goal which Jay Gould and
the administration had so lavishly gilded.
The people were betrayed, defrauded,
sold out. There is no need to mention
names. Men grow gray and rat in the
well rewarded livery Of the party,
cheated their constituents at home at
the bidding of the party's worst enemies.
We know them, and our readers know
them and blushes for them. Only in the
most coldly formal manner can the re-
suit their treason procured be recog.
nized by the party as binding upon it. In
the law of the land fraud vitiates con-
tracts. Perhaps there is some such
clause too in the moral laws which gov
erus honest mems convictions and actions
