The more the situation in Ohio is dis
cusset. the more unsatisfactory it appears
10 the Democracy. Their candidate for
Governor. Judge Hoadly. seems to have
been forcel on the convention hy means of
his great wealth and in opposition to the
wishes OF the majority Of the party. 1t was
charged in the convention that he had Sc
cured the Hamilton County delegation at
cost of $4,000 and that he was willing TO
pay $50. 900 10 secure the nomination He
was strongly opposed by ex-senator Thur
man who left the convention in disgust. de-
claring that the ticket could not be elected
and did not deserve 10 be.
Judge Hoadly has been a Democrat of I'M
certain reliability during the past SIX or
seven wears and is said 10 have an annual
income of about S2O0.0 He is known
10 favor free rum and this, with his ability
10 PIT a large sum of money into the can
vass, is relied on by his friends 10 bring him
success. There are, however. two strong
forces that will be against him. First, the
division in his own party. The Young De
mocracy of the State. as well a. many of the
old war horses, are arrayed against him, and
al the reorganization of the State commit
tee the malority. as chosen, are said 10 be
opposed 10 him. Second. the public senti-
ment Of the State |; is safe to ss, that in
a State like OHIO the majority will not be
found on the side of free rum. Certain To-
calities will favor il but the question being
fairly before the people il may safely be re-
lied on that the State, as a whole, will reject
il.
The situation in Ohio may fairly be re-
garded as presenting favorable prospect
for Republican success this fall.

Another Experiment in College Discipline.

Amherst makes another new departure in
college discipline in the recent organization
Of college Senate" The scheme was
proposed BY Presiden, Seelye two wears ago
but il did no, meet the approval of the
students till the opening of the present term
when all the classes but the present Seniors
voted TO accept the proposition and elected
their representatives. The non-concurrence
of the Senior class has not prevented the
carrying out of the scheme, and the Senate
has just organized with these men as Sena-
tors From 81. W. +. Parker, j. II. Tufts
aud W. F. Wilcox from So. G. f. Gard
ner and J. Human from sc. A. W. Stuart
" hen next years entering class elects its
representatives the Senate will have its full
quota of 10 members-four Seniors. three
Juniors. two Sophomores and one Fresh
man. President Seelyt is Chairman of the
board and will refer TO it questions relating
TO the discipline and welfare Of the college,
which have heretofore been brought before
the faculty. The object Of this innovation
is to make the students more than ever self
governing. and put upon them something Of
the responsibility for the good order and
welfare Of the college at large. which has
previously rested wholly on their instructors
Like the new system" it is an experiment,
and will be watched with interest by many.

The agent Of the Edwards Manufacture
ing Co., in Augusta has received Instructions
to close up all work Of improvement on the
company property at once. The letter Of
instructions definitely states the determine
tion of the company to abandon the project
Of a new factory. The reason assigned is
that the valuation placed upon the property
BY the assessors is excessive, imposing bur
den which similar property in the State does
not bear and placing the Edwards company
at a disadvantage in close and depressed
market for cotton goods.
The Press SAYS about o week ago little
son of MIR. ID. ii. Patrick of Portland, aged
about seven years. was PLAYING in the upper
story of James Bailey X CO. store on Mid
die street, with Mr.. Balcy's son and several
companions, when he trpped over piece Of
machinery and fell striking the back of his
head. The wound appeared to be slight
one. The boy went home and nobody
thought anything serious had happened. but
the next day the wound began to bleed and
it was very difficult to stop the hemorrhage.
A few days after the boy had his head out Of
window talking with some playmates. and
when he drew back his head he struck the
wounded spot quite blow. From that time
the bleeding deiied the physician. and the
boy died Thursday.

An Aneodote Of Hannibal Hamlin.

The Boston 7raceii,r has the following
\ gentleman just returned from Bangor.
Me. tells a rather amusing anscdote of Han
niba Hamlin. but by no means at his expense
SAID he -
"lou can see Mr.. Hamin almost any day
IN Bangor. He wears the same style Of old
hat, and blue coat with brass buttons, that
he did TWENTY-FIVE years ago. He is very
fond of the young boys and goes fishing
with them with all the ardor Of a twelve,
year-old. Mr.. Hamlin usually spends some
part of the evening al one Of the stores,
where a crowd Of his old .cronies' come in
TO hear him talk. Among them was an old
fellow named Stearns, who is immensely
wealthy. but very long winded, and as a rule.
his stories do not pan out very we'll. Some
time ago Stearns came in and commenced
one Of his yarns. and after he had been talk
ing about fifteen or twenty minutes, and
there did not seem to be any point in sight.
Hamin with perfectly sober face, reached
down into his pockets and drew out pair
of ear-laps, which he put on. and cork
stopper. which he gave to Stearns. The
s,ory-teller made dash for the door amid
screams Of laughter from the crowd"

Tammany and the New York Democracy.

As the time for holding the Democratic
State convention, in New York, approaches
there is increasing evidence that the delega-
ton from Tammany will claim its right 10 a
seat with the remainder of the party and
equally strong evidence that the other fac
ton will promptly object As in past in
stances, the result will be another fight in
which Tammany will win or bolt the ticket.
The Tribune remarks;
With the Governor fighting him and the
chairman of the State Committee fighting
him, Mr.. kely's prospects of seeing the in
side of the convention would not be over
bright. But perhaps, I'm the interest Of
harmony" both these gentlemen will decline
TO insist that Kelly shall be kept outside.
One thing is certain. however, they are not
going 10 bring the Tammany chief to terms
they are not going to compel him to beg for
seat in the convention. Not al all. One
81 his outlying accommodating proxies was
lately interviewed by reporter of The Al
baHy Journal and. in response To q question
touching the convention, he said Tam
many Hall will not go on her knees mex,
fall 10 secure representation 10 the State
Convention. That is fat. After the way
il rolls up majorities for the party, it is sim
ply disgraceful for its delegates TO be con-
tinually asking recognition and getting the
: cold shoulder. Ii has tired of this proceed
ure. This fall il will ignore entirely the
State Committee and intrust its fate 10 the
party. We propose to settle once for all the
interminable quarrels which harass every con-
vention, wear after year" This is plain and
pluckv. Ii means that Tammany will de-
mand a seat in the convention as her right and
that even as she declined to confirm Mr.Mur-
tina last spring. so she will decline 10 confirm
the authorit, of the State Committee this fall.
Mr.. kelly's representative conveyed another
interesting piece of information TO the re-
porter He was asked if Tammany would
NEEDLE in the making of ticket. and re-
piled: Not at all, ST present OF course
we should have voice if We are TO vote
for the ticket. and we wont vote for ii IN
less We help name it." There is nothing
involved in that statement If Tammany is
kept out Of the convention, Tammany will
bolt the ticket that the convention nomi-
mates.
The regulars will doubtless gro~l when
the, find that the Tammany that hung up
Nuyths's nomination. instead of being in q
humnle. repentant mood, remains truculent
and defiant. And who shall say that they
vill not do another thing-admit Tammany
IN the State Convention? Tammany is the
tsii of she Democracy Of New York. But

One Way to Stop Sunday Bathing.

A tall Young man went bathing in the
Mohawk River at Schenectady, \. ", last
Sunday, with several other Sabba,h-break-
ers, in spite of previous protests against
their selection Of such conspicuous place
for their ablutions. While they were in
the water Mr.. Van Voast appeared upon
the bank and carried of an armful Of their
clothing. All Of the bathers. however. had
enough apparel left to get hone without
undue exposure except . tall young man.
whose only remaining raimeni was . collar
and a pair of shoes. But as luck sould
have il he found near the river an empty
barrel. out Of which he knocked the heads
and into which he stepped, and thus ap-
parelled he made his way home across the
fields. painfully holding up the barrel IS he
walked. but dropping and sinking into it when
ever anyone appeared in sight. Before he
reachedthe paternal mansion half of the dogs
in town had detected his predicament and
united to form q bowling escort Ii Is
thought that Mr.. Van Voas,'s method of
abolishing Sunday bathing will be success
full.

Carondeet and Columbia turnpike, the whole

tiers held off for two weeks longer, the farm
ers could have saved large percentage of
their wheat and early potatoes, the wheat al
the time of the inundation being almost

their crops upon which they depended TO pay
for their teams and the provisions they have

ton.

and further rise Of three feet is predicted.
