the Republican prohibitionists, that the
Democrats carried the State
AS rule Democratic promises made be-
fore election, whether good or bad, are net
kept, and these two constitute no excep-
tons. The Democratic legislature when it
assembled did not dare to repeal the Scott
law, which is popular with everybody in the
State but the saloon keepers, and the Dem
ocralic Congress refused to redeem the
promise made on the stump to the wool
growers.
The Democrats go into the campaign this
year, therefore, crippled by the recollection
two broken promises. To be sure the
liquor sellers have been partially appeased
by decision of the Supreme Court which
has shorn the Scott law of some of its OBJ
noxious features and an intimation that in
good time the court will sweep the law
away entirely, but they are not enthusiast
tic over the outlook and are not paying
up with sufficient aacrity or with sufficient
sums to make glad the hearts of the Demo
cratic managers. The wool growers have
all gone back to the Republican party. On
the other hand some sort of trade has been
made with the Standard oil ring by the
Democracy and the barrels of that
concern which are mauy and well filed will
be at their disposal, and all the "mcral" in
tluences which great monopoly employing
thousands of men can exert will undoubted-
ly be brought into requisition in favor of the

who has an immense influence in the slums
Of Cincinnati has also been conciliated, and
the corrupt and criminal elements of the
great cities may all be expected to appear at
the polls on election day with Democratic
ballots in their hands.
The Republicans, however, though fully
alive to the dangers which beset them, are
confident of victoly. They are united and
enthusiastic. The talk about disaffection
among the Germans which is spread out in
Eastern newspapers makes little impression
in Ohio where the facts are known. Carl
| Schurz does not carry the German vote in
| his pocket and his declaration in favor of
Cleveland and against Blaine is regarded by
the Republicans of Ohio as of very little con.
sequence. The campaign will be fought on
national issues, and in campaign fought on
those issues Ohio has never failed the Re-
publicans. With good Republican major
| ity in that State on the fourteenth of Oc-
tober the campaign in the West will be great
ly simplifed and long stride taken toward
a national victory in November.
The following shows the pluralites in the

The Ohio Election.

Political interest now centres in the great
State of Ohio, and will continue to centre
there until the fourteenth of October-elec-
ton day-is past. The Republicans, and
the Democrats as well, are massing then
orces in that State, and in few days the
political orator will be listened to nightly in
all the principal cities and towns. For two
years in succession the Democrats have sue
ceeded in carrying the State. In both years,
however, their victory was due largely to
local causes. Last year by promising the sa-
loon keepers to repeal the Scott law the
Democrats secured from them very large
corruption fund, which they used with great
effect the week before election among the
purchasable element of the voting population.
By promising also to restore the tariff on
wool, which Republican Congress had cut
down, they secured the support of large
majority of the wool growers of the State,
estimated to number 10000. It was by
means of these two promises, aided to some
extent by the foolish performance of some Of

The object of the meeting of the three
emperors at Skierniwice is matter of al
most universal speculation with very little
data in the shape of facts to base it on. Ru-
NOR has it that the emperors have signed a
tripartite agreement, but the terms of it are
not even guessed at. There seems to be
substantial agreement on all sides that the
object of their meeting is peaceful one.

The French have resumed offensive opera

there has been no formal declaration of war

The.two countries, however, seem to be
drifting inevitably into a general war, the
effects of which will not only be disastrous
to the active participants but will strike a
severe blow to other nations through the
injury done to their commerce.

their fault that they did not succeed.

Mr.. 81. L. Nelson, Speaker Carlisle's pri-
vate secretary, who has been accused by the
New York World of classifying concerning
Clevelaud's free trade sentiments, writes in
defence of his veracity, to the New York
Tribune. He says that just before the vote
on striking out the enacting clause of the
Morrison bill was taken, an intimate friend
of Mr.. Grover Cleveland, whose name he is
not at liberl. 10 mention, arrived in Wash
ington from New York. This friend, Mr..
Nelson says, Uniformed the leaders of the
revenue reform movement that he had made
it his business TO see Governor Cleveland,
and that the governor had written letters
favoring the Morrison bill to certain mem
bers of the New York delegation, who were
supposed to be inclined to vote to strike out
the enacting clause" One of these mem
bers, who had voted against Mr.. Morrison in
the caucus and on the question of considera-
ton in the House, did vote with him on the
motion to strike out the enacting clause,
and the intimate friend asserted at the time
that the conversion of this member was due
to Mr.. Grover Cleveland's influence. But as
Mr.. Grover Cleveland now says he did not
write letters to Congressman ''to influence
their action on tariff matters or legislation"
Mr.. Nelson supposes that the intimate friend
must have been mistaken.

day, while the smaller precincts and
Atlanta will lose as much. At Vienna

ACOUSTICS OF THE COURTROOM.
How They Can be Improved At Very
Slight Expense.

Since the floor Of the District Court
room has been carpeted, the acoustics
have been much improved, though
sounds are yet very indistinct, and a
witness on the stand is scarcely heard
outside the bar, or the Judge or at
torneys understood unless sentences
are delivered in very clear and dis
tinct tones. This annoying inconven-
fence may be remedied without the
expense and delay OF laying cocoa
mating on the floor, or the putting in
of a dais. "A small wire, little
larger than thread, stretched tightly
across the room several times, about
midway between the railing or en-
trance to the bar and the Judges
stand, shout eight or ten feet from
the floor, will answer the purpose Of
both dais and cocoa mating, and rem
der the sounds clear and distinct
