When McSweeney returned to Ire.
land, became British subject, and voted
and held Office under British laws, he
abandoned his rights as an adopted
American citizen, and could make no
claim for protection on the United States
Government.
The return of the wandering Prohibi-
tionists aud Independents to the Repub-
lican fold is still going on, and there are
signs that before the election this will
take on the character OF stampede It
is not Agreeable, after ALL to take up with
companions SO many of whom are either
utterly impracticable or desp;cably
malicious; and the waning calculations of
the newspaper organs of factions signifi-
cantly and naturally denote the shrink
ing numbers of their adherents or SYM
pathizers.-New York Commercial Id
rerttser.
The gallant canvass which the Hon.
John F. Finerty is making as an inde-
pendent candidate for reelection to Con-
gress in the Second District of this city
is one of the conspicuous features of the
campaign. His addresses to his constit-
uent. in the various wards composing his
District are marked by eloquence and
vigor, and he is absolutely fearless in
denounclOg the disreputable rogues and
rowdies by whom he is opposed. Mr..
Finerty is taking high rank as pubic
man, and already enjoys an enviable
national reputation. He should receive
all the Republican votes IN the dit let
and rather more than the average amount
OF Republican interest and assistance in
his campaign. He deserves to be re-
elected by splendid majority, and there
is every promise of such result

CURIOUS HYBRID CATTLE. - The
Warden of Manitoba Penitentiary. near
Winnipeg, has a fine herd OF hybrid
cattle, crossed between th. male buffalo
and the domestic cow. They are very
tame, taking no more notice of human
beings than ordinary cattle do. They
are very hardy, and seem pre-eminently
apapted to ranging our plains. They
readily mate, and nature seems to pro-
vide their offspring with constitution
adapted to all climatic extremes of the
Northwest. They are not housed during
he winter, find their food under the snow
and thrive where other cattle would
starve. The beef IL excellent and yarn
has been spun from their hair They do
not show disposition to stray away. and
altogether it would seem as if it might no
to the interest of scientists to study this
question of the infusion of buffalo blood
into our he,ds.-Fargo argus.
THE.OHIo REsULT-The jull returns
show the majority for Flickinger, Repub-
lican candidate for Board of Punlic
Works, to be 17,476. and the Republican
majority by the vote of Congressional
districts to be 49, Ala.
The special assault of the liquor inter-
est on General Robinson, the head of the
ticket, reduced his majority to 1922
and that of Judge Johnson to 15.450
The true test of the Republican
strength in Ohio is the majority for Board
of Public Works and the Congressional
majority In the general contest next
month every man who voted for Flick
linger will vote for Blaine and Logan,
and thousands beside. We think it
entirely safe to put the majority in Ohio
for the Republican Presidential ticket at
10000. - Cincinnati Commercial Ca
