Cleveland Plain Dealer: The
monthly debt statement shows a
decrease during July of about &c.
100000, which is nearly half a mil
lion more of decrease than in July
a year ago. At the same time the
amount of gold in the treasury has
increased over 100000 and there
has been no material change in the
amount of silver dollars on hand,
the increased circulation keeping
pace with the monthly coinage.
This is q satisfactory showing all
around. 1t demonstrates that the
Democratic administration which
was to bankrupt the country is
steadily reducing its expenses and
the debt at the same time, thus de-
creasing the annual interest charge.
1t has not sent gold in a panic out
of the country, and is finding a way
to get more silver into circulation
without any of the alarming con-
sequences that we're predicted as
certain to follow if the silver dol
lars already in circulation were not
all called in at once.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: SAMUEL
J. TILDENin1S71in an address said
"I oppose centralism because it is
incompatible with civil liberty.
Forty millions of people, guided by
a single hand, would sweep over all
dissent and all resistance ofisolated
or unorganized individuals. Look
at France. Half a million of office
holders and half a million soldiers
moved from the center make civil
libertyimpossible." True alWaysto
the constitution and the people, he
fought against all things that had a
tendency towards class legislation
or making the rich richer and the
poor poorer. Samuel J. Tilden
crushed the worst gang of public
thieves that ever existed in any
commonwealth. He was a man en-
dowed with ability far in excess
of his fellow-men. He was respect
ed and loved by his party as few
statesmen and politicians have
been.

Don Cameron, now a Republican
United States Senator from Penn
sylvania, in speaking of the politi-
cal complexion of the next Senate
and of the states in which the DEM
ocrats are likely to make gains,
says:
"The nominations are very i'm
portant this year."
81 should think they were. We
elect a senator next winter and if
we don't the next Senate will be
Democratic. Itel you we are down
to close quarters. We have lost one
Senator in Virginia and may lose
one in Indiana. I hope not. New
York will be a close fight. Miller's
term expires up there. If our fell
lows don't look out we may lose
one there. Connecticut is not a GER
tain State, and we can't tell what
may happen in New Jersey. There's
enough to beat us already. If I'm
going to help, of course I want a
hand in preparing the way. l have
seen in the newspapers some doubts
as to our ability to carry the LIE
gislature this fall, but I don't be-
lieve that. If we lose it, it will be
our own fault. am helping all ]
can to get good men whoa.,ean be

Mr.. Rutherford B. Hayes declin-
ed absolutely to be interviewed re.
garding his opinion of the late
Samuel J. Tilden. The Plain Dealer
says: Mr.. Hayes remarks, however.
that there was nothing in the rela-
tons of the two that would render
it improper for him to express him
self on the death of so distinguish
ed a politician, or words to that eff

The Constitution of Ohio has
been changed so that in the future
the State election, instead of being
heldthe second Tuesday of October,
will be held the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November.
This makes election day in Ohio
the same as in a great majority of
other States, and obviates the ne
eessity of holding two elections in
a Presidential year. Inasmuch as
the second Tuesday of October,
1886, is the 18th, and the first Tues
day after the first Monday of No
vember will be on the I'd, the con-
stitutional change will only post
pone the election three weeks this
wear.

The Plain Dealer suggests the
following points as appropriate for
places in the platform to be adopt
ed by the coming Democratic State
Convention, every one of which we
most cheerfully endorse, especially
the last one:
1. Civil Service reform in State
affairs.
2. Nonpartisan management OF
State institutions.
3. License for the liquor traffic.
4. Stop the increase of local in
debtedness.
5. Readjustment of taxation SO
that the burdens may fall lighter
upon the farmers.
6. Taxation of corporations
having special privileges in the
State.
I. Laws for the relief and pro-
lection of workingmen.
8. The suppression of Doodle
in politics.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-08-12

The Cincinnati Times Star, Re
publican) states that there "are ru-
mors floating around the city that
thenext Republican convention will
be the largest and most corrupt
Doodle convention ever held, and
that 100000 is to be expended to
secure the nomination of a certain
person for county auditor" The
fact is thus admitted by a leading
Republican paper that 'boodlers'
have a strong grip in that organi-
cation in Hamilton county, and
that the clamor raised by the Com
mercidl- Gazette over the use Of
"boodle" by the Democrats, is only
to cover up the corruption and
"boodleism" of it's own party. The
testimony of the TSmes-Star ought
to be taken as conclusive, for it is
owned by the Taft boys, the sons
of Judge Alphonso Taft.

If there were two or three more
States like California such a thing
as a serious failure of the wheat
crop in this country would scarcely
be possible. The latest returns con-
firm previous estimates that the to-
tai yield for the present year will
be a fraction over 100000 bush
els, the largest crop ever harvested
in that state and nearly twice the
amount ever produced by any other
state in any one year. Nearly Co.
0OO, 900 bushels of this amount will
be available for export if there
should be any demand for it abroad.
This showing indicates that the
real wealth of California lies init
fields and vineyards rather than in
its mines, in spite of the fact that
it is the greatest gold producing
state in the world.

The Cincinnati Sun sizes up Bob
Kennedy in the following excellent
style:
"There has never been a more
impudent spectacle in the politics
of Ohio than the candidacy of Bob
Kennedy for Congress. Keifer is
bad enough, but Kennedy is worse.
He is a chronic office beggar, and a
miserable, dishonest tool when he
gets into office. To serve Ed. Noyes'
hopes of breaking into the United
States Senate he made a guilty
spectacle of himself at Columbus.
He is VIGOROUSLY incompetent for
public place, and he hasn't even
political sense"

The Columbus Times says, the
books at the Pension Agency, in
that city, shows that Ohio has now
80, 800 pensioners, of whom q, 800
are invalids, and 5000 are widows,
minors and dependent relatives.
Those who reside outside of the
State and are carried on the rolls
of the agency number over $500,
who are principally in the West.
The largest pension paid by the
agency is $4,000 per year to Presi-
dent Garield's widow.
