few Congressmen in Iowa, Illinois,
Massachusetts, and Ohio, but there Is
nothing certain even about that. AL
lowing them all that they can reasonably
expect in those states the aggregate will
not any more than counter balance the
losses they are almost certain to incur
elsewhere, and they will have done
nothing toward overcoming the forty
five Democratic majority now against
them in the present House.
These are the probabilities, calmly
considered. or course no calculations
are ofany value when political wave
is coming, but there is no reason to ex-
pect any such phenomena this year.
The elections are likely to be quiet and
devoid of excitement. If there should
be some Democratic dissatisfaction it
will no more than balance the Republi-
can apathy and the general feeling in
the public mind that under Democratic
administration public offices are being
conducted about as they ought to be.
So the question asked may be an
swered: There is no good reason for
fear that the Democrats will not have
safe majority in the lower House Of the
fiftieth Congress.

THF STATE CONVENTION.

In this impression may be found the
ful1proeeedIngs Of the State Convention
held at Toledo last week. The eonven-
tion was one Of the best the party has
ever held in the State, being harmoni-
GUS aud enthusiastic throughout its de-
liberatlons. Every Democrat present,
and there were thousands of them on
hand, seemed to be imbued with the
spirit of success, and impressed with the
duty of his doing the utmost to protect
the honor Of the State and its people
against the usurpations of the Republi-
can office-holders, who, by their total
disregard Of the constitution and the
rights Of citizens of the State, have for
feited all claims to the consideration of
the voters of Ohio this fall. The plat
form adopted is an admirable one, and
could uot well be improved upon, being
strong and conclusive argument in ia
vor of Democratic principles, whilet he
candidates are men Of integrity and
worthy of the suffrages of their fellow
citizens.
Democrats, your chosen representa-
tives in convention assembled have
given you a strong ticket, and plat
form made up fpure Democratic tim
Der. 1t now remains for you to carry
both through to a triumphant and glo-
rious victory. See that an organization
is perfected in every voting precinct, in
every school district, and that the camp
fires are kept burning from now until
election day in November. Talk with
your Republican neighbor, who has be-
come disgusted with the usurpations of
power of Bob Kennedy and his clan,
and who is interested in the pure and
patriotic administration of President
Cleveland. There are hundreds of such
in our county, and scores of them will
support your ticket this fall.

The Congressional Outlook.

Will the Democratic party lose con-
troll ofthe lower House in the next Con-
gress, the members of which will be
elected the coming fall?
Some such Republican predictions
have been made lately, based upon sup
posed Republican advantages gained in
spring municipal elections in a few
States, but wnen the situation is thor
oughly analyzed no good reason for an
ticipating any such result can be dis
covered.
The following facts bearing upon the
question will appear upon investiga-
ting and careful survey of the political
field.
The present House has Democratic
majority of45. Where will the Repub-
lican gains necessary to wipe this out
come from?
It will be agreed by both Republicans
and Democrats that no changes are
probable in the states of Alabama, Ark
ansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, North Coroli-
ma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Coro-
lima, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and
West Virginia. The delegations from
these states in the next Congress will be
essentially the same so far as political
complexion is concerned as in the pres
ent Congress. If there should be any
changes they will offset each other, and
neither party will gain or lose.
Now, what are the probabilities in the
other states? California is represented
by five Republicans and one Democrat,
which is very much out of the usual
proportion in that State. It is almost
certain that the Democrats will gain
there, and it is equally probable that
they will gain one in Nevada.
In Michigan, represented now by sew
en- Democrats and four Republicans,
the Democrats will probably gain an
other congressman. In Indiana all the
Republicans can hope to do is to hold
their own, and if there is any change it
is that they will lose member in the
district now represented by Mr.. Steele,
who was elecled by As majority. Mary
land has one Republican representative,
who will have good luck if he gets back
again. There are two Republicans from
Missouri, both liable to be lost, and
three from Tennessee will hardly get
back again. New Jersey is represented
by three Democrats and four Republi-
cans, and if there is any change there it
will be in favor Of the Democrats. In
New York there is no good reason for
supposing that either party will gain,
and the same may be said of Pennsylva-
mia, now represented BY eight Democrats
and twenty Repub blicans.
Possibly the Republicans nay gain a

HON. LOUIS w. LUDWIG, of Cuyaho-
ga, the Democratic Candidate for Board
of Public Works, is of German descent
and about As years of age. In business
he is brewer, and has built up for him
self one of the largest fortunes in Cleve-
land, where he resides. In politics, he
has always been staunch Democrat,
and is SO popular among bis neighbors
that he has time and again been elected
to the Council and School Board from
one of the stongest Republican wards of
Cleveland. He has all the qualifications
to make a very excellent member of this
business board.
Besides being business man he was
we'll educated in Germany and before
engaging in the brewing business was a
civil engineer. There is no Office in the
gift of the people of Ohio that requires
the assistance of a good engineer more
than the Board of Public Works.

Our Candidate for secretary of State

Our Candidate for Secretary of State.
Hon. John Mcbride, candidate for
Secretary of State, was born in Chippe-
wa township, Wayne county, Ohio,
June 26, 1854. He came to the Legisla-
ture as representative of the working
men. He was lucky enough to get 3
common school education before he
went into the mines digging coal. Since
1853 he has lived at Massillon, where his
parents moved. He served his time un-
derground, and became prominent
among his brethren as young man OF
more than ordinary ability. He became
member ofsocieties for the ameliora-
tion of labor, and was sixteen years old
when he Joined the Miners Union. He
progressed until, in April, 1882, he was
elected President of the Ohio Miners
Association, the strongest labor union
in the State. Hewas reelected by unan-
imous vote In 1883, 1884, and again
in 1885. His popularity with the work
ing classes in Stark county made him a
formidable candidate for political hon
or. He was defeated for Representa-
tivein 1881 by only So votes. He was
renOminated and elected in 1888 by a
majority of 1906. Faithful to the inter-
ests of his brethern, he at once took a
stand in the Legislature as the cham
pion of labor. His voice has been raised
for the workingmen of Ohio whenever
any topic was touched that concerned
them. He Joined other working men
in the Assembly in perfecting legisla-
ton which has given to the labor
ing classes more benefits than any
Legislature has ever given. During the
terrible strike in the Hooking Valley,
John BcBride was the busiest man in
the State of Ohio. AS President Of the
Miners Association he was kept busy
night and day, and was Frustrated dur
ing the winter near unto death. He is
made of good material, however, and
has since recovered, comes of good
Irish-English stock, his father and
mother having been born in Carlisle,
Cumberland county, England. They
came to America in 1852. Mr.. Mcbride
is a member of the Knights Of Labor,
and has held many important positions
in that organization. He was married
at Massillon, July IL, 1874, to Miss Ma
ry E. Kelly, a teacher in the Massillon
High School. Four children make up
the Mcbride family -Lidie and Kittie,
Edward and Joe.

The County Fair.

In speaking about county fairs the
Brooklyn Chronicle morilizes wisely on
their excellence as educarors in general.
"The farmers are doing the fair much
good in talking it up and making prep
arations for their exhibit. Point out a
county whereiRfts people, with rarely
an exception, take an interest in it's fair,
and we will point out to you county
containing intelligent, progressive, and
successful farmers and business men. To
be successful and prosperous farmer it
requires as much study and brains as it
does to be an intelligent and successful
Governor ofa great State. The artist and
scholar can not become masters of their
professions by isolating themselves from
each other. The defects of one are
learned from the superiority of the 9TH
er. The same lessons are learned in
farming and business the same way.
We belong to the progressive age; but
age does not always bring progress and
wisdom. A few follow the old and
beaten path of their forefathers. By so
doing they are nither prosperous nor
useful to society. More can be learned
in one day at our county fair about prac-
tical farming by talking with the lead
ing farmers than years of reading will
do. The farmer who wants to profit OBJ
servation and study can find no more
profitable place to spend the week at
than at the fair.

THE Democrats of Indiana in their
State platform among other things de-
clare:
"That the taxation of the people for
other purposes than raising revenue for
the expenses of the Government econ
omically administered is robbing under
the forms of laws, and we are therefore
in favor of reduction of the present
unjust tariff to revenue basis, and we
hereby reaffirm the principles laid down
in the Chicago platform on the SUBJ
je ct."

GOVERNOR Foraker said in his special
message to the Legislature last April
that "the decline in persanal property
has not been balanced by an increase in
realty and recommends that real es-
state be re-appraised at higher rate of
valuation Of taxation to make up the
deficiency. This the Rump Legislature
promises to do next winter, and the
great "boodlers" and tax-shirkers will
escape as usual, but the real estate own
er never can escape. The last Demo-
cratic State administration got along
with the present rate Of taxation, and
why can not the Republican. Farmers
can put their stamp of condemnation
upon this proceeding by voting the
Democratic State and Congressional
tickets next November. That is the
only recourse left you, and you should
make your rebuke emphatic.
