Mr.. Green's Mistake.

Mr.. John P. Green, in his weak at
tempt to explain why he supports Fora
ker after solemnly declaring he would
not support him, has made misstate-
ment that has called out the following
letter from Governor Hoadly:
COLUMBUS, o., July7.
Editor Plain Dealer:
I see that John P. Green, the colored
lawyer at Cleveland, is attempting to
make an answer to Professor Greener
upon the subject of the dealing of the
Democratic party with the colored men
of Ohio. In his letter he fallsinto what
to say the least, is very serious error
of fact. He claims that the Republican
party granted the colored man in Ohio
the right to testify in courts of justice.
On the contrary, the glory of this legal
achievement belongs to the Democratic
party, who, in 1S4S-49, as part of the ar
rangement by which Mr. Chase was Sc
lected United States senator, with the
aid of DR.. Townsend and Colonel
Morse, repealed the black laws OF
Ohio and gave the colOred man
the right to testify as fully as white
man. Thus it happens that the Demo-
cratic party of Ohio is entitled to the
credit both of beginning and ending
those reforms of legislation which have
given to the colored people full civil
rights in Ohio. Mr.. Green may remain a
slave of the Republican party as long as
he pleases, but he cannot unwrite the
history of the legislation of lS4S-49 and
1SS3-S5. You may make use of this
letter as you please and lam very truly
yours. GEO. ii. HoADLY.
Mr.. John P. Green, in his zeal to
please a man whom he once said he
could not vote for, and who distin-
guished himself by arguing that the
children of colored people had no right
to go to school with white children,
seems to have overlooked the historical
facts in this case. But then facts, his
torical or otherwise, are things that Mr.
Green as a politician knows very little
about. Plain Dealer.

MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE.
An Iowa Republican Paper Predicts
the Defeat OF the Ohio Republicans.

the Defeat OF the Ohio Republicans.
[Iova Times.
Wear of the opinion that the Repub-
lieans of Ohio made grave mistake in
again nominating Foraker for governor.
His defeat two years ago by the present
Governor Hoadly by majority of H.
900 and over, in naturally Republican
State by 10000, was not altogether on
account of the Scott tax law enacted by
Republican legislature and since re-
pealed by a Democratic legislature. The
cOlored vote in Ohio, very important
factor in the Republican party of that
State. was very far from being unit
for Mr.. Foraker, for reasons, they
thought, sufficient to justify them in
voting against him. The Prohibition
lists also have been milestone around
the necks of the Ohio Republicans for
years, and as the greater portion of
them came from the Republican ranks,
that party is weakened just so much
whenever the Prohibitionists make
nominations. The Democrats, on the
other hand, no matter how much quar-
reling among themselves before elec-
ton, always, with the exception of
the struggling few in the Prohibition
and Greenback ranks, vote solidly for
their man. And besides, HOadly, who
is intellectually far above Foraker, has
made passably good governor, one
against whom nothing that would in
jure him in a campaign can be said. If
he is again nominated, and indications
point strongly that way, notwithstand-
| ing he has said he does not again desire
to be candidate, he will again beat
Mr.. Foraker as badly, if not worse, than
he did two years ago. The Republicans
of Ohio are in strange pot this year,
and are Oversanguine concerning the
strength of Foraker, who cannot p0ssi-
bly, carry his home vote at Cincinnati.
If he carries the strong Republican
Cleveland district it will be by the
skin of his teeth, so to speak. He must
have a majority of the votes of both the
foregoing districts to be elected. With
out them he is defeated. Hoadly, who
is also Cincinnati man, is highly re-
garded there by the element-which
predominates-that were strenuously
opposed to the enactment of the Scott
law, which, though a just law in many
respects, was never popular in that city,
and has been the cause of more political
turmoil in Ohio than anything else that
has been before the public for the last
half century. Not even Blaine and Lo-
gan, were they to stump the Buckeye
State for Foraker, can save him. This
may seem little strange coming from
a Republican paper, but we have ex-
pressed our honest convictions, and
have no doubt at all after the election
our words will prove true, however
much We may wish that it could be
otherwise.

THE Plain Dealer is forninst the
State Convention endorsing Thurman
for Senator. 1t says. A State conven-
ton has no right to take any action
upon nominations over which it has no
control. The general assembly elects
the United States senator, and the par
ty generally is willing to trust represen-
tatives in that body to make the select
ion. In Iaddition, there is no necessity
of dragging into the state canvass any
individual for an office that depends up
on the political complexion of the leg
islature. There are several gentlemen
in Ohio besides Judge Thurman who,
no doubt, have senatorial aspirations,
Geddes, Ward, Mcmahon, Seney, Hoad-
ly and Convers have friends who think,
in the event of democratic legislature,
that they would make good senators.
Let them and their friends all be
brought zealously into the contest be-
fore the party indicates who it should
choose

The New York Nation printed in its
issue of June 25 retrospect of the
twenty years of its existence which
were completed with that number.
The Nation was founded in July, 1865,
in recognition of the new order of things
which was sure to follow the end of the
war and the abolition of slavery. 1t at
once espoused the cause of pure, unpar-
tisan administration of the National
Government; and the present condition
of civil-service reform is owning to it
more than to any other instrumental
ity. 1t has been conducted, in its two
leading departments, politics and litera-
ture, by the same editors from the first
number, and holds to-day, as for the
past twenty years, the first rank in each.
1t is the medium of the most thought
full and cultivated discussion in the
country,-is, in fact, the only truly ma
tional journalistic forum. Its foreign
correspondence is unrivalled. Its book
reviews (by the leading scholars of the
country possess the highest authority.
Each number contains a careful news
summary, and the bound volumes are
priced as the best obtainable chronicle
of current history. ia pp., quarto. 10

OUR Democratic friend A. J. Saygers
takes exceptions at what "Whip"in the
Toledo Post makes us say concerning
him, and well he may, for, while
"Whip" in the main is correct in his
version of his "interview," he is away
off when he makes it appear that we
class Mr.. Saygers as no good Democrat.
We did not wish to convey that idea;
on the contrary, if Mr.. Saygers, our
selves and others who took an active
part in the Cleveland campaign last fall
had skulked and acted as some others
did, (whom we did mean, "Little
Henry" would have been far minus her
1900 Democratic majority. But last
falls campaign is over, the P. o. cam
paign is over, and the Democracy are
triumphant in both. Now, as good SOL
diers, let all Democrats come forward
and support the powers that be and
make a united effort to increase our
ranks and to contribute our share
towards perpetuating Democratic sue
cess Little Henry, the State and the Ma
ton.

Did Not Promise Anyone.

In an interview with the Toledo Post
reporter Hon. w. D. Hill said in regard
to the appointment of Postmaster Of
Napoleon:
mo man ever had the promise of the
office from me and no one ever will in
the district. I make no promises. l
never knew who was going to get the
Napoleon office until the appointment
was made"
"How was the choice made?'
"My recommendation for the appoint
ment of postmaster at Napoleon is in
writing, and am willing any Democrat
in Henry county should see it and read
it. After they have done that they
will entertain different views from those
they entertain now.'
"Were any charges filed against Ran
dall?"
"None by me. You may say that the
only charges against Mr.. Randall were
made by his own party-by Republi-
cans-and none by Democrat"
"What were these charges?"
"Carelessness."

SHOULD it be understood that the
Hons. McLyman and Ramey will not
ask for denomination as Senators from
this district this year, the Democrats of
Henry county should present name to
the coming convention and stubbornly,
yet respectfully, ask for one of the NOM
inees. We give the second largest
Democratic majority in the District,
and not being accorded Senator for
the past twelve years, tits no more than
meet that we should ask and receive
one of the places upon the Senatorial
ticket. True, we have not been very
successful in the past few years in dis
trict conventions, but that should not
deter us from trying again. Our cause
is good one, right and justice is on
our side, and with an unbroken front
we should make another effort. Demo-
Gratis, select man and then stick to
him.

THE Republican party of Ohio has de-
clared war, and is terribly anxious to
fight somebody, is raving like mad;
gnashing teeth and splitting blood, but
there is no enemy. The United States
and the State of Ohio are at peace with
everybody, and there is not a being on
the earth who wishes to raise hand or
voice against either government or their
citizens. The people of this great coun-
try are all busy, quietly but earnestly
pursuing their own business and social
affairs, all live under the same govern
ment, support the same constitution,
obey the same laws, pay taxes for the
same purpose. What fools, nay what
villains, these Republican politicians
are.-Cddiz Sentinel.

FORAKER defended the school board
ofSpringfield which refused to admit a
colored pupil into the white schools.
For this he gained the lasting hatred of
the colored race. To overcome this
hatred and persuade them that his
Springfield action was only matter of
form he rushes to the front, Haunting
that much soiled garment, the bloody
shirt, in the faces of the intelligent citi-
zens of Ohio and vociferously demands
that the negroes of the South shall have
their rights. Mr.. Foraker should de-
mand that the colored people of Ohio
shall also have their rights. Foraker's
double dealing will not win this year
any more than two years ago. Canton

WE never thought seriously that
John r. Mclean, of the Enquirer, was

not candidate for any place on earth,
that he has no political capital at work,
and that no man in Ohio has any
authority to represent him in politics.
He believes with the NoRTHwFs that
Hoadly should be the candidate for

dorsed for the Senate. Johnny is not

a conundrum heretofore propounded
in the Press: "The national banks of
the country have deposited at various
times with the treasurer of the United
States $40, ,133, 1886 in legal tender notes
for the redemption of their circulation.
The treasurer reported on June 80 that
be had only $15,352,379 of these legal
tenders on hand. What has become of
the other $34,667, ,556? A clear and
luminous answer to this inquiry would
