The Western Christian Advocate, of
Cincinnati, for the present week has the
following pleasant paragraph about Judge
Foraker. A stronger endorsement from a
higher source could hardly be desired.
The Advocate says;
Joseph Benson Foraker, who has again
been nominated for governor of Ohio, is too
wei! known TO need extended notice. He
was born in Ohio. He entered the army
when only about sixteen years Old, aud served
with honor until the war closed Ele was
educated at Wesleyan Cniversity, Delaware,
O., and at Cornell College, \. Y. He and
his wife are OF Methodist stock, and are both
members Of the Walnut Hills Methodist
Episcopal Church. hr. Foraker is II truste
OF the church, and Mrs Foraker is one OF
the most active and efficient ladies IN the
membership. There are no people 10 CIn-
ciunati who are more highly esteemed than
this educated, refined Christian family. Mr..
Foraker is thorough temperance man, both
in personal habits aud in his views of public
policy. The colored people never had bet
ter friend than he. Indeed, he is a mau who
knows what poverty and toll are, and his
personal experience, ss well as the instincts
OF his nature, make him friend Of all the
lowly. His generosity knows no bvunds
We have known him for years, and iuti-
mately, and we speak thus freely and posi-
| lively from personal Owedge. II it shall
| turn out that rival nominees are men Of as
much culture, dignity and ncorrupuble prn-
| cipls ms he, Ohio will be certain OF having a
| governor every way worthy of her.
