Tho New York Mercury says: "Dls-.
patches from Washington announce that
the Presidenl and his Secretaries, while in
this city, would take such action in regard
TO Federal Offices ss would enable the
Democratic party IN this State TO present,
n united front to the enemy at the Fall
election. Thi IL all stuff and nonsense.
1t ie no part OF the duty OF The President
and his Cabinet to NEEDLE with the politics
OF this or any other State. President Ar
thnr and Secretary Folger hied their
hands nj IL three years ago, and ont Of this
blnnder Mr.. Cleveland was created. All
that the President and the Secretary Of the
Treasury have TO do is to select from the
number OF those who have given to the
Democratic platform and lis candidates an
answering support from first to last a
capable, upright and efficient man for
Collector OF the Port, and TO make similar
selections for Naval Ofiicer ard Surveyor.
This IA their duty, as well TO the country
as to those who placed distinclively
Democratic Administration in power.
Having discharged themselves OF this re-
sponsiblIty, they can afford TO leave the
politics OF the State TO its voters, with u
calm confidence that the people will do
what is right and best for all.

Don't Like Ohio Politicians.

N,nlcisO Heralu.)
These pestiferous Buckeye politicians are
at 1t again. Their election does not occur
until October, yet the Republicans are al
ready in the field with candidates, and the
Democrats win speedily follow. These
fellows are forever posing before the coun-
try, demanding that notice be taken of
their antics at lime when the sensible
elector is congratulating himself that the
business OF politics Ia to have long rest.
With precious few exceptions these Ohio
politicians are Of very ordinary breed, re-
markable for nothing but their pertinac.
ity. They are small bore lot, yet by the
frequency OF their elections, their adroit-
ness IN maintaining The October polling
date, their long campaigns and their well
devised swapping OF successes they acquire
Fictitious Importance before the country.
Ohio thrives on politics. Its little big
men, both publicists and editors, decline TO
abandon methods and dates which, in
measure. compel attention TO their con.
tests. They acquire certain sort of rep
utation in which they have pride, and they
manage TO induce How OF campain mon
| ey into the precincts OF their State which
animates and enriches their workers, Civ
ing them merceneiy joy in contests which
are designedly huctuating. When the
steady common sense of the republic sug-
gesled to OHIO that it hold its elections
like other States the politicians in both
camps in Buckeyedom rejected the inno.
walton with frank confession that it paid
| them too well.
1t Is an imperlinence at this time to de-
maud attention to the doings of these small
beer politicians. Their platform OF pl4ti.
tudes isn't worth a glance. Mr.. Foraker
Is I. bore. T'oiher fellow when nomina.
ted wi be found to be another bore. The
whole crowd active in Ohio politics are
cheeky and inconsequential. The respec.
tive olg,ns are crazy, mendaeious, mercen.
airy aud blsoted. To boycott these med
dlesome and audacious Buckeyes, TO sil
down hard on the whole upstart breed i,
II duty the rest Of the States owe to them
selves. The trumped up turmoil in thai
neck OF woods isn't worth consideration
save as il becomes necessary for sober ant
sensible North Americans 10 give The prin
cipal actors the cold shoulder.

IN his district, who edits newspaper.
The editor recently said: "Miss Cleve-
land has packed up her duds and left the

As near as we can ascertain, the strug-
g in the County convention TO select
delegates 10 the Republican State Con-
ventiou arose between the "Brown" Re.
publicans and the black or straight Re-
publicans. While the delegates at large
had no III will toward DR.. Tuller and
would have preferred him as delegate to
Auditor Poe, they did not desire TO have
the Republicans OF Center township who
voted for Sheriff Brown last fall instead
OF the regular nominee dictate to them
who the delegates should be. So it would
appear that we have Black Republicans,
Brown Republicans, and Republicans for
Revenue only. The latter have been very
successful in accommodating farms, erecting
mansions in B1wling Green and the ac-

There will be trial in Kenlon soon, in
which some high legal talent will be used.
A Miss Stone, OF Brooklyn, n. Y. owned
large tract of walnut timber in Hardin

sued her lor libel, and employed Lawrence,
of Belleiontaine, 40 his attorney. Miss
Stone employs Ben Butler and Roscoe
Conkling Findiay JEFF.
Miss Stone also owns several tracts OF
land in this county and over year ago
cent an advertisement to the papers oil this
county, which was published for number
oil weeks in the B. G. papers. As the ad-
vertsement unjustly reflected upon her
agents in this county we refused TO pub

and is regarded n fine specimen Of the
crank on the timber question. Out of re-
spect for her brothers and sympathy for
her mental condition she escaped suit for
libel ut that time. She is now In fair
