Learning 'Perliteness'' and Gram
mar.

The pay-train stopped at Willow
Bend to pay the railroad hands and to
hquidate claims for cattle on the track
in that section. A gaunt, ,hungry-look
ing Granger stepped up to the smart
young man who was dispensing the
cash in the rear end of the car. '.Got
my name on your books, mister?"
How should know unless you tell me
your nameP' ..Kerrect you are. You
have got the edge on me there. Well,
my name is Rufus McConkey." Yes.

books, MIR. McConkey. l have got you

Col. McConkey put the hammer of his

are to be served the same way; and then,
when the state canvass is in progress, we
are to have not only defamation, bull ioz-
ing, and corruption, wholesale and retail
but on election day there is to be reign
of rowdyism, and, if necessary, bloodshed.
We may put the whole matter in SEN
tence: John r. Mclean is to elect himself
senator from Ohio, if such a thing is pos
sible, and, with the Hon. Allen o. Myers
and the old Doodle crowd intact, will ex-
haust all resources to that end. The En-
quirer, which paper has several thousands
of Republican supporters and admirers,
will be the powerful and effective news
paper organ of the conspirators.
A small part of the program, but the
part with which we here in Springfield
have the most to do, will be the attempt of
Mayor Constantine to re-elect himself; for
the conspiracy would not be complete un-
less the Democratic boss business could be
repeated and illustrated in the Republican
city Of Springfield.
Mclean, Constantine, and OMyers are
the chiefs of the Doodle gang, and it
does not need to be said that
they will hesitate at nothing that will
seem to serve their bad purposes. Let the
good citizen understand that the barrel
means not only money but whisky; that
the conspirators are opposed to all or any
restriction Of the liquor traffic, or any and
all attempted pr election of the individua
or the family from its ravages
Therefore the Republicans should take
pains to select their very best, strongest
and most popular men for the local Offices
for the state offices, and for the legislature
We can not elect any man whom we nigh
nominate, ,but zoe can elect the men W
ought to nominate. And if we do no
nominate good men we ought to be de
feated. Let US deserve suecess in Obi
and in Springfield. And when the Re
publicans put good tickets in the field
then all good citizens who are Republioa
in sentiment should cooperate with ther
and help them elect their candidates, b
way of trying to promote the cause Of goo
morals, honest administrations Of stat
and city governments, and popular right
and privileges.

AFOKMIDABLE CONSPIRACY.

Certain parties are now organizing a
conspiracy to put the state of Ohio under
boss and ring rule. An attempt is to be
made to overcome the splendid majority
given by the Republicans last fall, and to
elect not only Democratic governor but
also Democratic legislature that will put
Mr.. John R. Mclean, editor and propris-
tor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, into the
United-States senate, in the place of that
great and pure statesman, Hon. John
Sherman. The object of the conspirators
is not merely to elect complete Demo
cratic state government throughout, for
that they have now substantially, but it is
to put the very worst and most corrupt
and dangerous element in the Democratic
party in control of its organization and
of the state.
There are many Republicans who will
smile at this statement. and who will think,
with Judge Foraker, that We can easily
elect any man we may nominate. These
gentlemen should not allow themselves
to be deceived. The situation is very
serious. The boss birds are out early,
and they are determined to have their
worm, if strategy. money, and hard work
can accomplish their purpose. And the
Ohio Legislature, which was forced to b.
halfway decent last session. will now pro
ceed rrcklessly to perform the dirty work
required for the promotion of this con-
spiracv.
And this conspiracy is not simply against
the Republican party, but its aim is to take
the government out of the hands of the
people aud put it into the absolute control
of the bosses If the conspirators sue
ceed, we are to have in Ohio a popular
government only in name. The attemp, to
swindle the people of Columbus out of their
autonomy-a privilege of independent self
control-so that the Democrats who are to
be put in charge can manipulate the Octo-
Der election in such a manner as to send
Democrats TO the legislature, is the open
ing of the nefarious program. If the at
tempt to legislate local despotism into
power af Columbus succeeds, other cities

r, d. M, IN SPRINGFIELD.

In Springfield ! found division of seuti-
ment on the gubsrnatorial question. The
Globe-Republic, now owned and edited by
Colonel Coates Kinney and Cliff. Nichols, be-
lieves that Judge Foraker is not as strong as
be has been, though. this belief i, based upon
nothing discredltable to Foraker The seat of
the colored disafection is In Springfield, and
the feeling tor Kennedy permeates the peo-
pie of Clark county TO some extent. Colonel
Kinney's ideas upon the subject are ex-
pressed in his editorials exactly as he gave
them to me. He has q sincere and hearty
admiration for Foraker, but believes in
bis right to his belief as to who will be the
strongest candidate, aud right to express his
views in the matter, and in tact it is bis duty
to do SO. | don't think any fair man can
quarrel with that position. I don't know
whether or not Clark county will be for Judge
Foraker iu the Stale Convention, but | ds
know the Republicanism of Clark county,
aad 1t is honest and true. II Foraker is noun
ilated he will get no heartier support than
rom Clark county, and that will include Co..
ouel Kianey and Cliff Nichols and their
bright and handsome paper.
hear there has been a little quiet meeting
amoug some active young Republicans to
consider the subject of Bushnelfs candidacy,
or ra her of the sdvisability and policy of in
sIstlng on bis becoming q candidate. The
matter was pretty well talked over and Bush
nelis strong points canvassed, but no conclu-
sion was reached, according to my intorma-
ton. This was done without collusion with
Captain Bushnell and without his knowledge
The early and active stirring up Of this
matter and discussion Is proving q frst-rate
thing, and having the very effect that was
predicted. There is a temperance and fair
ness in all that Is being said that bodies well
TOR future harmony and united action. Our
friends in Clermont county have, l think,
mingled an unnecessary impetuosity and
ardor with their opposition to Foraker, but
that is matter OF taste. They have right
TO oppose Foraker and q right to express
themselves after their own fashion, and they
have made it evident that they are not alone
in their opposition.
As circumstances are, it would seem that
Judge Foraker could not afford to accept a
nomination over which there was any con-
siderable contest. 1t should either come to
him freely, and with practical upanimity, or
he could hardly consider it. l think that is
the view of Judge Foraker. He il not anx-
Gus for the nomination, and will make no
effort to secure it in the way of canvassing,
ETC., but if the party wish him to lead them
again he will not shirk. This is practically
the position OF others mentioned, with one or
two exceptions, who are active candidates for
the nomination.-Commercial Gazette.

A Cleveland minister named Ladd, and
Doctor of Divinity, when asked to give
his views on roller-skating to the press,
made the extraordinary reply that, as he
he had great deal to do, he had never
been in a rink and knew nothing about
the institution, and that therefore he had
no information to give and no suggestions
to make. We infer that he had been so
busy trying to make converts to Chris

employees gathered to hear statement
read.

began the boss, "that there was 5000
left over to be divided among you ac-
cording to the old scheme"

had to embezzle the sum named to buy
diamonds for my wife, so that nothing
is left. Let us make a reduction in
wages and start anew ."-WaA Street
