The selection OF so young a man as
Captain Foraker As n candidate for Gov
eruor OF an important State Ike Ohio Is
taken As additional evidence that a new
generation OF voters is about 20 take con-
troll Of the Republican party. The Repub-
licanS have always shown a disposition 20
help forward the younger and ambitious
men in their ranks, and IN this way have
attracted the more energetic class OF yOt-
ers. The Democrats, on the contrary,
have q tendency 10 cling 10 their old war
horses. There is scarcely Democratic

Before Governor Butler SAYS ANYTHING
more about malleasanCe and miSteaSanCe,
says the Boston Journal, he should make
an effort to reform the service in the Exec
utive rooms. Two important bills have
been lost, and this, we are informed, is in
keeping with the general confusion which
prevails. In one or two instances names
have been placed upon the nomination
book 10 al vacancies by resignation with
out giving the name OF the person resign
ing, thus leaving the other departments OF
the Government in ignorance of the mat
ter. When inquiry i made with a view 20
correcting the oversight the letter contain

is fair sample OF the looseueSS and con-
fusion which prevails in the Governors
room.

wealth and position were not certain OF
securing their reward, but that all who
would strive for Christian virtue could
strive with the certainty OF attaining the
object Of their ambition. In naming the
duties of life, he advised the young ladies
and gentlemen to marry and rear families,
and poured upon those men who remain sin

THE BEAR BOUNTY LAW NOT RE

Several newspapers have made bitter
complaint that the Legislature OF 1883 re-
pealed the statutes authorizing the pay
ment Of bounties for killing bears. There
was no such repeal. Chap. 40, Pub.
Laws OF 1877, repealed the former laws al
lowing bOunties for bounties for killing
wolves and bears. Chap. IS Of Pub. Laws,
lSS2, repealed the act of 1877, and revived
and re-enacted the former statutes allow
ing such bOunties but Sec. > Of said Chap.
IS limited the time within which these
animals must be killed, 20 insure the
bounty, 10 the season between the first
day of June and the first day of November
Chap. ll9 OF Pub. Laws OF 1883 repealed
Sec. or Chap. IS, Pub. Laws OF 1881, the
effect or which repeal is 70 extend the
time when wolves and bears may be killed
for bounties, throughout the lrhOle year.
So the Legislature OF 1883 instead OF es-
pousing the cause of the bear, adhered
