PERHAPS the most encouraging politi.
cal notes which have reached us since
the adjournment of the Chicago Cou-
vention are those which come from Ohio.
The probability is extreme that, for the
third time in succession. tho Democrats
will carry the Buckeye State. And why
noti After decisive victories in 1882
andsiS S3, gained through the accession
Of the German vote, there is every rea-
son to look for q continuance Of victory
through the same cause. The attempt
to force sumptuary laws upon the States
where the Republican party has been
strong has been noticed with lively In
dignation by the German people, and
there are special German journals whose
sole mission is to spread knowledge OF
these facts throughout every State in
the Union. Nothing succeeds like sue.
cess, and what has been done twice con.
secutively, with the same causes opera.
tive, can be done again. There is very
heavy German vote in the States of Wis
oonsin and Illinois which might also not
unreasonably inspire hopes Of success,
but we prefer to stick to the safe rule
that what has been done twice can be
done thrice. In this case the third tria
is the charm. All questions relating t'
slavery having leen removed and thu
German vote having been alienated from
the Republican party, there is no reason
why Ohio should not become as reliably
Democratic as in the days of Andrew
Jackson and Thomas Jefferson.

OsE OF the great distinctions Of Blaine,
according to his Republican admirers,
was his splendid energy and eloquence
in Congress. Iugersoll, in fine inspira-
ton OF blarney, described him as the
rupert Of debate" This Ia all very
foe as long AZ II is left undisturbed, but
the truth ia the Plumed Knights orator.
cal efforts ia the Senate were singularly
unhappy; and, whether his opponent
was Lamar or Hill or Thurman, he geI .
orally appeared to great disadvantage.
This fact leads the Galveston News, la 9
recent issue, to recall very character.
istc episode. Thurman was always
too much for Blaine in debate. In fact,
Thurman had no intellectual peer in the
Senate in his time. and it always gave
the old man acute delight to give Blaine
larruping. Once, after dining, the
Ohioan had givon the Maine man an
hours effective scoring for his misuse of
the bloody shirt. As he was marching
ont OF the Senate Chamber between two
friends. the old gentleman said, "Well,
boys, / was full then. but I'll tackle him
some time when I'm sober, and won't
leave shred Of him together" and with
blast from the folds Of the bandana he
disappeared in the cloak room. as q
shout OF merriment went up from the en-.
tertained listeners.

What Constitutes a Representative
Frenchman.

EDITOR HERALD. In the Times edi.
ton OF the 18th inst. there appears O
local dot which makes a Mr.. Castera say
that in the Democratic ratification pro-
cession "there was not representative
Frenchman in the squad which brought
up at the flag end Of the torchlight pro-
cession.'
Ny purpose is not to accuse the Times
of want Of veracity, but l desire to
brand this Mr.. Castera as a prevaricator
of tho darkest dye-not as dark as the
skin Of an Ethiopian, Of course, but so
dark that none will believe Castera
with the outlandish name Frenchman,
able to judge when he meets citizens of
France whether they belong to that ia
vored country OF whether they are ma
tives Of Kalakaua's Kingdom.
As matter Of fact, the rear guard of
the procession was composed of such in
fuential French citizens as Messrs.
Ballade, Biscailuz and at least 30 others
who may be considered as true, honest,
influential and representative Demo-
Gratis, Of French extraction.
IL Mr.. Castera believes that such
men are not representative, would like
to inquire OF the virtuous gentleman,
whose politics have gravitaIed within
the last few years worse than weather
cock in a Kansas cyclone, what with
him constitutes representative French
man" within the understanding Of his
eneompassed Uranium.
l will only add that, in order to cor
rect Mr.. Castera's bias as to representa-
tive Frenchmen, he had better watch
the French vote in November, and if he
then still complains of that representa-
tive" disease, which now seems to be
sapping his intellect, the chances are
that the unanimity with which the
French of Los Angeles vote for Cleve-
land and Hendricks will convey him off
suddenly to that bourne from which
there is no return.
Respectfully,
NJ. V. BIscAILUz.
