OHIO IN VIRGINIA.

Judge Foraker has opened his series
of speeches in Virginia and there has
been no hint of bloodshed. On the
contrary, the meeting at Staunton yes
terday was very pleasant affair and
seems to have been really enjoyable all
around. Everybody was in the best of
humor and the whole thing went off as
socially as tea-party. Judge Foraker
did not flap the bloody shirt or cner-
getieally attack the South. On the
contrary, he gave Virginia taffy, and
was proud that, on his mothers side,
he was himself descendant of the
Old Dominion.
His audience evidently saw at the
outstart that he was good speaker and
listened attentively to what he said, the
only interruptions being of a good.na-
tured sort, which were enjoyed by the
speaker as well as his hearers.
But while making very temperate
speech and one of the character that
would entertain any audience, Judge

of his habit of absurd criticism of the
President. He did not believe that Mr.
Cleveland knew anything about the
tariff, either of this country or any
other. He said that the President had
once exclaimed: "Confound the tariff
never did know anything about it
anyhow" And then to show his own
wide-reaching knowledge of the ques.
tion he spoke of how poorly paid were
the laborers in free.trade Spain. Here
he was interrupted by an English
farmer, who wanted TO know what sort
of tariff Spain really had. At first
Mr.. Foraker did not know, but finally
said that he believed she did have II
protective tariff of some kind, but he
could not say exactly what
Again, Mr.. Foraker said that the
President was good man, for did he
not wear an eighteen-inch collar With
the exception of little eccentricitics like
these the speech of the Govemor.elect
of Ohio was about up to the average of

ELEVEN STATE ELECTIONS.

sity.
But in half a dozen States at least
there are to be elections of considerable
political importance, headed by New
York, which is to choose a Governor,
other State officers, five Justices of the
Supreme Court and both branches of

Governors and Legislatures, in part or

The canvass in New York for obvi-
Gus reasons, attracts the more general
and peculiar interest. 1t is the Presi-
dents State. Ii was the vote Of New
York, narrow as the margin of victory
was, that made him President. This
was a year ago. 1t remains to be seen
how well New York is satisfied with
her choice.
Should the Democratic party carry
the State, the victory will be inter
preted as not only personal endorse.
ment of Mr.. Cleveland and an approval
of his Administration, but as an accept
ance by the people of Democratic rule
and their willingness to abide by the
changes of governmental policy which
Democratic rule implies.
Upon the other hand, Democratic
reverse in New York, by anything like
decisive majority, would be under
stood by the politicians as virtual re-
buke to the new Administration and be
appropriated by the Republican party
as so much capital for the future.
THE CRITIC is not of those, however,
who believe that the results of the
coming November elections will pos.
sess much value as forecasts, unless
they should be in the nature of tidal
waves, Indicating sweeping changes of
public sentiment, in one direction or
another.
Mr.. Cleveland's administration is as
yet untried to such an extent that pop
ular judgment cannot be fairly passed
upon its merits at the polls. Its record
