GENERAL COwAN, of Ohio, is respon-
sible for the statement that Judge For
aker has but little chance for an elec-
tion,. and quotes Senator Sherman as
altogether without hope of successful
issue. He says Sherman regards the
money about to be spent in Foraker's
interest as little better than wasted, and
further quotes that statesman as saying
that the money had better be saved for
the great fight in that State next
year. There is no doubt that the odds
are against Judge Foraker, for the very
questionable method which Governor
Foster and some of his friends have
adopted to beat down Judge Hoadly is
cementing the Democratic party and
drawing towards Hoadly all the liberal
minded element of the State. Sher-
man sees plainly that success now would
so elevate the hopes of Governor Foster
that Ohio would cut no figure in the
national Republican convention except
to boom Foster for the second place,
while defeat now would make Ohio a
doubtful State, and turn all eyes towards
Sherman as its only political savior.
This is the logic of the case, and both
Foster and Sherman understand it

Brief Open Letter.

Gov. FosTER-Dedr Sir: You knew
when | was telling you that stuff about
Hoadly that | was a Republican and
a liar; and you knew when you were
repeating it to New York interviewer
for newspaper publication, that only
intended it for circulation in a private
way. | do not care for the breech of
confidence in the matter, but the lack
of sense you have manifested amaZes
and discourages me. A breech of con-
fidence-or of anything else for that
matter-made in the interests of the
grand old party, is always to be COM
mended; buta blunder, Charles, no mat
ter how praiseworthy the intention of
the blunderer may be, is one of the very
gravest of political crimes. BY crime
of this sort, Charles, you have not only
cooked my goose and DESTROYED my
usefulness, but you have given yourself
so completely away that you are now,
without any sort of doubt, the most
contemplate creature that ever dis
graced the Gubernatorial office of any
State. AS you have compelled me to
renounce, in shame and deep disgrace,
the non de plume by which | was
known to the public, ] now suggest to
you the eminent propriety of resigning
your office as Governor of Ohio. We
are both played out and done for. We
are the par mobile .frot,'un Of sarcastic
press and a jeering public. ),

WILL TAKE THE WIRES.
The Government Will go into the Tel.
egraph Business.
What. a Prominent Congressman
Says.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia prominent
Representative says that It is very evil
dent that Congress will be called upon
at its next session to legislate in regard
to the question of the control of the tel
egraph, with many indications of the
adoption of the postal telegraph system,
which works so well in Europe. $50
that we can handle the matter as thor
oughly as possible" he said, II propose
on the first day of the session, after the
House is organized, to make it a penal
offense for any Senator, Representative
or official of the government, to accent
q telegraph frank from any telegraph
company" "As It'll now,b he contfn-
ued, there is scarcely a Senator, Rep
resentative or prominent official who
has not the privilege of sending what
telegraph messages he pleases by using
deadhead franks, which are speedily sup
piled by the telegraph companies.
when a man has book of these franks
in his pocket he is unable to consider
the telegraph question, or any other
question in which the telegraph COM
panies are interested, in an independent
manner. Cutting off the telegraph
frank business will, even if the postal
telegraph system is not adopted, correct
the abuse which has been growing con-
stantly in the past few years.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
The Business Scare Bug-a-boo to be
Revived.
From Special to the Enquirer. I

COLUMBUS, o., August 1.-THE Re-
publican managers have struck an idea
which they expect to work much after
the manner in which they scared busi-
ness men in 1880, when they told them
that the country was gone unless Han
cock was defeated. Then they wanted
money bad. They have succeeded in
stirring up the tariff interest of Penn
sylvania, New York and New England,
and the protective tariff organizations
have now five men from the East in
Columbus who are arranging to Organ-
ize the State in Republican interests.
1t is said that Captain Alfred E. Lee,
late Private Secretary to Hayes, and
Consul General to Frankfort, is to be at
the tariff interests in New York got him
to leave his paper, the Toledo Telegram,
to come here during the campaign to
look after the interests of Eastern cor
porations and manufacturers. The Re-
publican State Committee is said to
have made pledges and secured assur-
ance from all of their G Congressmen-elect
to stand by the tariff, and restore it on
wool and other articles, and in turn they
are to have financial aid from the East
ern tariff organization.
A prominent Republican gave the
snap away by saying that it would be
the money of the tariff and of Foster
against the money of the liquor inter-
ests of the STAGE and of Hoadly, Book
walter, Pendleton, Payne and others.
Captain Lee is said to be their Chair
man, with headquarters in this city,
and that there will be auxiliary organ
izations started in all parts of the State,
particularly in the manufacturing dis
trictS.
Among the agents here are Mr.. L. S.
Aniat, editor of the Anaericdn, pub
lished at Philadelphia in the interest of
a high-protective tariff, and there are
two agents Of the tariff organization
with him. Itisnot known what they
are doing, butthey have benin consul
tation with the Republicans.
Marius Hanlon, editor of the Ameri-
can P'otectiOnist, is also here, but he has
called on both the Republican and
Democrat managers, and is probably
watching the other fellows. The tariff
question is now settled on as a leading
feature of the canvass. Mckinley and
Robinson, and lot of speakers from
the. East, are to take the stump for it.

FORAKER'S FOOLISHNESS.
Disgusting Friend and Foe Alike---A
Rarrangue That Made Demo-
cratic Votes.

COLUMBUS, O., August 16.-It is no.
ticed that some of Forakers speeches
are carefully reported and Others care
fully kept from report. One of the oc-
casions on which the young man let
himself out was at Batavia, August 7th.
No full report of the disjointed harangue
at that place appeared, but gentleman
who took full notes has given it for pub
lication. He states that correspond
ent who travels with Foraker reported
it, but at the urgent request of the Re-
publican committee of Clermont coun-
ty suppressed it, giving only few Sc
lect passages in the letter. This gentle
man says the speech was opened by
Foraker saying that when boy he was
travelling along the highway and met a
man coming in an opposite direction
on horseback at furious gallop, and
that the man was drunk and Demo-
crat. A drunken Democrat he took
him to be from the surface indications.
AS he passed he hit his horse with his
hat and yelled: There are heaps of peo-
pc this year. referring to the audience.
That crowd was made up, one-third of
teachers attending the normal institute,
one-third Democrats and the rest Re
publicans. The speech disguised the
Republicans, made the Democrats mad
and wheeled into line all our disaffected
elements, besides some fifty greenback-
ers heretofore against us. The Repub-
licans were chagrined at Foraker's lack
of tact and dozen Of them openly re-
marked that the speech set Clermont
county back into the Democratic col
umn. He talked like man who lid
not want Democrat to vote for him.
He raked up the war issues, shook the
bloody shirt and said: "Vote as you
shot" On the tariff he got badly rat
tied, and in discussing the Scott law
made the Germans present as mad as
March hares, while the Prohibitionists
looked doubtful. He dissected Hoad-
ly's record, and, while he said nothing
substantially new, he threw out inuen-
does that were insulting. This gentle
man, who is citizen of the county, re-
sumes thus: "That speech knocked the
Radicals in Clermont; hence they are
afraid to publish it,"

preston or despair on the part. Of the
operators or the public. There never
was strike before which affected or in
terested so many people, that was
marked by such good discipline and
good nature, or that was SO entirely de-
void Of violent features. 1t was admir-
able in its conduct throughout. In
going back to work the operators, by
reason of the facts stated, retain the
sympathy of the public in the fullest
degree. A score of reasons, more or
less influential i'm bringing about the
capitulation of the strikers, could easily
be given. The principal of these, and
the only one worth consideration, is the
fact that the telegraph monopoly is still
stronger than the operators.

Monopoly Still Triumphs.

The contest between the telegraph
monopoly and its employees is virtually
ended, and labor, as is usually in all its
conflicts with capital, has gone to the
ground. The struggle, however, has
not been entirely vain or unproductive
of some good fruit. The Cleveland
Penny Press has the following sensible
and suggestive remarks we'll worthy of
consideration:
The natural comment upon the re-
suit will be that the strike was failure.
The fact is it has been a success-not as
pronounced as the public would like to
have witnessed, for it desired to see the
monopoly whipped in open fight-but
q success nevertheless. The ability of
the operators to organize an effective
army and keep in the field for a month
has been demonstrated. The sympathy
of the general public with labor in its
issue with monopoly has been clearly
shown. The strike aroused the whole
country and attracted attention to the
threatening danger of our times more
thoroughly than was ever done before.
1t was sustained in a measure by all the
other great labor organizations and at
tracted them together as they had not
been before. 1t chrystalized the public
hatred of telegraph monopoly and set
the people to talking about it. 1t open
ed the way for new telegraph compan-
les and new situations for telegraph
operators, and promoted the extension
OF the few competing lines already in
existence. 1t created competition where
there was practically none before. 1t
has profoundly agitated the public
mind not only in regard to telegraph
monopoly but also in regard to the
great issue between capital and labor in
its broader sense. 1t has led to the con-
sideration and preparation of measures
for a postal telegraph under government
control, which a score of congressman
will hasten to present when congress
meets. 1t has agitated subject that
only needs agitation to secure in the
end what the people require and de-
mand. 1t has progressed the mobiliza-
ton OF the labor army step in the di-
rection of complete organization and
equipment. In all these and other
minor particulars the strike has been
quite successful. That this was not
rounded out by signal and decisive
victory is matter for regret but not de-
