1t is apparent that a strong drift of
Republican sentiment in Ohio is set
ting toward the nomination Of Hon.
J. B. Foraker, Of Cincinnati, for Gov
ernor at the coming June Republican
State Convention. There could not
be a stronger nomination made,
strong in the affirmative qualities of
the candidate and in like measure
strong negatively. He entered the
army in 1862, a boy. He made his
way by hard work and good fighting
to the rank of Captain. As a Judge
Of the Superior Court of Cincinnati
he rose rapidly to distinction. In
politics he represents the best side Of
Republicanism. He is good
speaker, a man with a clean record,
not radical, yet safe and honest. He
is popular at home and strong all
over Ohio. There is strength and
wisdom in the suggestion that he be
placed at the head of the column.

After looking the ground all over
we believe that the Republican party
will be perfectly safe in entering the
campaign this fall, and with a certain
prospect of victory, if it puts at its
head a good, sound, straight man,
one who will inspire the people with
confidence and one in whom they
can believe. The man who will fill
these specifications is Judge Foraker,
Of Cincinnati. His nomination, we
believe, will insure us Hamilton
county and its strong delegation in
the General Assembly, and thus
make the Legislature sure, and while
his election would give us a good
Governor it would also tend to insure
US Senator in place of Mr.. Pendle-
ton.
Judge Foraker is a young man
about 40 years old, born in Highland
county, Ohio, is a graduate of Della
ware, Ohio, College and Cornell
University. He entered the army as
a private soldier while a mere boy,
rose to the rank of a Captain, and
filled several important positions
with credit, his record as a soldier
being exceptionally brilliant. He
was elected Judge of the Superior
Court of Cincinnati, resigned on &C
count of i'll health, and was recently
rendered an appointment as Judge Of
the Supreme Court, vice Judge Long.
worth resigned, which appointment
he declined. He is a member OIL
the Methodist Church, and is univer,
sally popular with all classes in Gin
cinnati aud wherever he is known
He has a fine presCienCe, is a good
talker, and has other running quail
ties that peculiarly fit him for such a
contest.

1t seems to us that there is one
man in Ohio, who, if he could be
prevailed upon to accept the nomi-
nation, would make a standard
bearer of whom the party would
Justly feel proud. We refer to Judge
| J. B. Foraker, of Cincinnati. He is
a native of our sister county o.
Highland, went to Cincinnati a few
years ago, has risen to a position
that challenges the admiration of al
who know him, served upon the
bench with great distinction for three
years, and is a man with a clear
record and unimpeachable character
We know of no man whom we could
support more heartily than Judge
| Foraker.
Two years ago Governor Foster
desired him to accept the nomina
ton for Lieutenant Governor. Mr.
! Foster knew what there was in tht
man and realized that his nomination
would strengthen the Republican
ticket He is not only popular il
Hamilton county, but wherever he i
known is regarded as one of Ohio
purest and best men. 1t would givr
US great pleasure to see the Republi
can ticket in this State headed: "Fo
! Governor" J. B. Foraker, of Cincin
