WHY NEGROES DI,LIKE FORAKER.
He Once Defeated an Attempt to
Send Darkles to White School.

CINCINNATI. June 9 From the stand
point OF Southwestern Ohio Judge j. B
Foraker, OF this city, who was beaten by
Hoadly two years ago. would seem to
have walkover for the nomination for
Governor at the Springfield Republican
Convention next Thursday. Hamilton,
Montgomery, Warren and other South
western counties are unanimous for him
The Convention will have 500 delegates,
and 80 of them go from Hamilton Coun
ty. In Clarke County, Of which Spring
ield is the county seat. the delegation Is
divided, half for Gen Kennedy, of Belle.
fontaine. In franklin County and in a
few counties in the center OF the State,
Gen. John Beatty. OF Columbus, has a
following. In the Reserve exists ii e
greatest amount OF GOODNESS to Foraker
This apathy rather than antipathy might
bud and bloom into active antagonism
bad the Reserve fx-d upon a candidate
Ex- Mayor W. G. Rose, of Cleveland !;
ex-State Senator Perkins, of Warren,
and ex.Copgressman Taylor, of Gar.
fields district, have been talked of, bu,
none of them have been pnshed to the
front. The most powerful competitor
Foraker will have is Gen. Kennedy, who
has large active following The negro
influence, however, will he active against
Foraker all over the State because he
once defended the Springfield Board OF
Education and won the case in which a
negro eued for the right TO send his child
to q school for white children.

New York World. 18th inst.

TIE Republicans OF Ohio yesterday
placed their State ticket in ithe field.
Judge FoRAKsR, OF Cincinnati, who was
so neatly beaten by Judge HeADLY two
years ago, was nominated for Governor
on the first ballot-a case OF bad judg-
ment. The old ticket was renominated
With two exceptions. A platform was
adopted made up almost entirely OF
abuse and denunciation OF the Demo-
cratic party, which it is proposed to hold
responsible for every evil that has be-
fallen the human race since the fall OF
ADAM. There is no ring of victory in
the doleful war-whoop Of yesterday g
pow-wow. The speech Of the remark
able Temporary Chairman, TAYLOR. was
such 'pitiable exhibition Of impoten,
rage and out-of iate bloody shirtism as
to be almost ludicrous. TAYLOR seems
ito be New Columbian orator with q
calliope attachment.

Coal for the Interior Department
Sold as Ashes.

A new coal and wood inspector has
been appointed for the Interior Depart
ment. 1t has been a matter of common
rumor for some years that the quantity
OF the wood and coal furnished the In.
terror Department has not been in &C.
cordance with the contract. 1t has also
been charged that the man who has the
contract for removing ashes from the
Interior Department has allowed many
barrels of coal to be taken out by the
ashes gatherers. The trick was in fill-
ing the barrels bali full OF coal and GOV.
ering it up with ashes. After getting
the coal out OF the basement, covered up
in this way, the coal was separated from
the ashes and sold to select class OF
officials. In this way they got their own
coal at less than one-half the market
price.

which ladies generally have hitherto been

tariff is not restored the sheep husband
ry of the country must be abandoned.
The action of the Golden Club is Sc

American producers is recommended to
work together to educate the people to
the necessity of preserving suitable pro
tective legislation. The Association de-
clares it will support only such men and

Illinois Wheat Crop.

SPRINGFIELD. I'LL June 9.-The State
Department Of Agriculture to day issued
their report of the wheat crop in the
State for the month Of June. The pros
poets indicate that there will be less than
10000, 900 bushels of wheat harvested in
Illinois the present season. The average
crop of the State for number OF years
has exceeded 10000, 900 bushels. The
present crop will be the poorest on re-
cord. The farmers in Central and South
ern Illinois are still blowing up the wheat
that gives Ho encouragement for paying
the expenses of harvest.
There is much anxiety in the leading
wheat coun'ies for supply OF seed
wheat, the scarcity Of wheat being such
as 10 caush uneasiness among nillers,
who are bringing wheat into this State
from all parts of the North and West,
and many have been compelled to close
their mills. Illinois will doubtless for
the fret time have To import wheat for
seed and consumption before the next
harvest.
