JUDGE FORAKER says: "The repub-
lican party in Ohio was never more
united than it is to-day. 1t was never
more seriously in earnest. 1t was never
more deserving of success; and it never
achieved a more decided victory than
that which is to crown its efforts in this
campaign"

New YORK HERALD Z" 1t is credit
to President Arthur that he chooses to
make his journey quietly and at his own
expense like any other citizen of the vast
community over which he presides. The
President of the United States on a trip
across the continent, it is safe to say, will
not put on so much style as New York
counter jumper on few days trip to
Long Branch.
CHRISTIAN UNION: "There are no
reasons why the lovers of law and order
and the enemies of free rum should not
unite to prohibit free rum. There is no
radical difference of principle between
them. The prohibitionist votes to allow
that is, license-certain men, under
certain conditions, to sell liquor, and to
prohibit all others so does the voter for a
license system"
THE Princess Mary, Duchess of Teck,
commonly known in England as Fat
Mary, set the example of riding the tricy-
Gle. Now Victoria has ordered two ma
chimes for her young granddaughters, the
princesses of Hesse; the Princess of
Wales gave her eldest daughter one for
her birthday present; the Princess Louise
rides, and hundreds of ladies have fol.
lowed this fashion.
WHEN General Buffers son went to
college his father gave him check book
and said "Take it; you are as free to
draw on my account as l am. If at any
time you have any doubts, consult your
mother" Few men would say that to a
son. After four years he looked over the
account and found that his son had spent
Just what was right and proper for a
young man in his position.
SENATOR HILL of Colorado has put

democrats, Oregon to the republicans, and

Connecticut, Indiana, Nevada, New Jer
sey, Ohio and Virginia. Senator Hill is
of the opinion that the republicans may
carry some of the southern states.
CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL GAZETTE
"The democrats says the Chicago News
'are going to shirk the tariff question.
: OF course they are. They have already
done it in Ohio, as witness their Colum
bus platform. The only out-and-out fire.,
trader in Ohio is Frank Hurd, and he il
so lonesome that when he reaches out fo
sympathy he touches the infinite of va
cancy in his party on every side"
PUBLIC LEDGER: "Diving into un
known waters is beset with many danger
and every summer furnishes instances o
death or serious injury resulting therefrom
This year the young man in diving strucl
his head upon spike in sunken log ant
was killed. The least precsution tina
swimmers should take in strange water
is to explore them gently before plunginl
with force into their unknown depths"
CLEVELAND LEADER: "Nowhere doe
the Scott law give greater satisfaction
than in Cincinnati. Last year the cit
tax was $3.50 on the 800, and this yea
it will be but $l,70, and the whole levy
. city and county, will be considerably re

: home to Taxpayers, indicating the wis
dom and justice of the measure. To pre-
serve this law, together with its beneficial
effects, Hamilton county should send
!. solid republican delegation to the mex
legislature"
