The Columbus Arrests.

The Republican press is bowling over
the arrest of several Democrats at Co.
lumbus On the charge of having COM
mitted the election forgeries. There is
no new information in the hands of
those making these arrests. They are
inspired and directed by His Lunacy
Governor Foraker. They are made
upon the eve of election for campaign
buncombe and for the purpose of carry
ing Franklin County. If the men ar
rested are guilty of the grave offense
charged, Governor Foraker and his
gang of political ~cut-throats have been
guilty of condoning the offense by per-
hitting these men to u at large for
ten months when they could and should
have had them arrested. The desper-
ate Republican managers have been
unfortunate in their legal proceedings
against Democrats at Columbus this
year, beginning with the Mcbride suit,
and they will find that this will react
before they are through with it.-Cin-

woRKNeMEN AND FARMERS.
Republican sneefs and Jeers at Our
Toilers.

p0puOlican Sneef8 ana JeefS at Our
Toilers.
The Democrats are running a work
ingman, the Hon. John Mcbride, for
Secretary of State. They are running
three workingmen for Congress, viz: in
the Eighth, Twentieth and Twenty-first
Districts. They are also running two
farmers for Congress, w: in the Ninth
and Seventeenth Districts. Now, all
this has put the pretended love Of the
Republican politicians for workingmen
and farmers to a severe test. Do these
workingmen and farmers receive decent
and respectful treatment as candidates
before the people from the Republican
pol ticians OF the Republican press?
They do not. On the contrary, these
representatives of the workingmen and
farmers are being sneered at, scofed
and villified in the most contemptuous
manner. There is no bounds to the
abuse that is being heaped upon
them by the Republican leaders
and the organs of hat party.
No language seems to be bitter enough
to express the intense hatred of the Re-
publican bosses for these candidates.
In some localities the workingmen. too,
who are taking an active part in the
election of their Acknowledgement, are
being ostracised and punished in vari-
Gus ways by the capitalists and monopo-
lists who are the tools and co-partners
of these Republican bosses. These
facts should, and doubtless will, awaken
the workingmen of the entire State to a
full realization of the hollowness and
hypocrisy that has so long character
lied the pretended friendship of these
bosses. Workingmen were good
enough to vote the Republican ticket
SO long as they submitted like cattle to
be driven up to the polls in the interest
OF the bosses, but when any of them
ask for Office themselves, no matter
how well qualified and deserving, they
are at once bitterly denounced, villitied
and sneered at in the most scornful
manner This should certainly arouse
them everywhere and place them in
solid line against their prosecutors in
the Republican party.
1t is a gratifying fact that the farmers
in the Ninth and Seventeenth Congress
sional Districts are uniting so solidly in
favor of the farmer candidates whom
the Democracy of those districts have
placed in nomination. Mr.. Levering,
of Knox County, will undoubtedly be
elected in the Ninth, and Mr.. Kennon
has the Doodle bosses badly frightened
in the Seventeenth, though he has a
large Republican majority to overcome.
The farmers of both these districts are
nobly resenting the sneers and jeers
which their candidates have been sub
jected to by the Republican politicians
and organs.-NesCark Adrocate.

What the Party Has Done.

The Democratic party in one term Of
the National Congress and one term Of
the Ohio Legislature passed more whole
some legislation in the interests of the
masses of working people than its great
opponent we passed during its whole
existence. Not only has the Demo-
cratic party done this, but 1t has en-
forced these laws, thereby ameliorating
the condition of the classes who were
more Or less under the iron heel of their
oppressors. The Democratic party has
done more. 1t has, through its repre-
sentatives in the legislative halls, I'M
earthed corruption and punished guilty
officials. The Democratic party was in
the minority a quarter of a century,
until its opponent, through its leaders,
became so offensive in its administration
of national affairs that the people drove
it from power. The Democratic party
was then entrusted with administering
the Nations affairs, and that adm mis-
tration has been so just, honest
and successful, that it has
gained the good will of fair
minded men who formerly were OPP
posed to entrusting the Democratic
party with the control of the Govern
ment. II matters not how bitter a par
t'san a man may be, he can not but adj
NIT to himself that the administration
of Grover Cleveland has been honest,
faithful and successful.
A vote for the Democratic ticket in
Ohio this fall is a vote to sustain the ad-
ministration. A vote to SUI. tain Grover
Cleveland is q repudiatiOn of corruptiOn
and ar Endorsement of an honest, up
right man and a statesman who came
into public life when the Nation needed
his services most. The independent
voters who in the past desired a change
in the Offices, but feared to trust the
Democratic party, have had it demon
strated clearly to them that Grover
Cleveland was sincere in his declara-
ton that ga public Office is a public
trust. PLAIN Dealer.

fed with common school work and is
thoroughly acquainted with its present
condition and requirements. Mr.. Brown
by his thorough acquaintance with the
system and the minute details of its
working, insures the successful admin
istration of the public schools of Ohio,
and deserves the hearty support o fevery
citizen who is interested in maintaining
their standard. Furthermore, he is a man
whose mental capacity is recognized
everywhere, and working as he does
with energy and that moral earnestness
which insures success, the public schools
of Ohio should not be robbed of his eff
cient services at this time. Let his good
work go on; let the plans he has laid
mature in the interests of the children
of Ohio who are under his supervision
and control.-Cor. Plain Dealer.

The best possible thing for a man
to do when he feels too weak to carry
any thing through, is to go to bed and
sleep as long as he can. This is the
only recuperation of brain force; be-
cause, during sleep the brain is in a
state of rest, in a condition to receive
and appropriate particles of nutriment
from the blood, which take the place of
those which have been consumed on
previous labor.-HedLM Monthly.

Foraker Worse Than Ben Butler.

The following article, clipped from the
Chicago Herald, an independent paper,
is a whitening exposition of Benny For
aker's d~isgraceful attempt to %injure the
Democratic party by the lying state
ments of a gang of perjured penitenti-
airy convicts:
Little Foraker's cheap imitation of B. F.
Buffers Tewksbury horror is a weak affair.
Butler, with all his craft and devlish arts,
was not able to make much political capital
out of his expose and he was much better
fortified in his position than Foraker in his.
Butler, besides charging and proving barbara
GUS cruelties against the management of the
almshouse, sustained his assertion that
the skin of paupers dying in Tewks-
bury was frequently removed and tanned,
by producing pieces of Leather" so OBJ
tanned. Foraker bases his charge to the same
effect against ihef former of the
State p~enitentiary on the ~suppo word
of q convict, who wants to get out, and who
will swear to any thing, no doubt, if the
promise of pardon is sufficiently alluring.
1.-The degradation of politics in Ohio and the
contemplate character of the diminutive
creatures who now gain cOnspicuity there,
are well illustrated by this incident. In no
other State IN the Union uOtld such methods of
Ohio apOuid it be possible to find a Governor de
prdptd enough to 90 into partnership Uith con-
riots for the purpose Of cooking up scandals inju-
fiOus to an adversary. Ever Butler did not
seek evidence in the prisons against his en-
emies-"

"ALl THE WORLDS SAD AND
DREARY."


Way down upon the Soto river,
Not far away:
There's where the Pen is standing ever
There's where the convicts stay.
There's where the little Governor wandered,
One sad day in gloom,
Listening to the convicts' barney,
And searching for another boom.
All Without was dark and bleary,
All within was guile;
And fairly did Foraker Tumble
TIL the skin game got his pile.
Now, up and down the Soto river,
Sadly and lone;
Wanders the little Governor, looking
For convict skins-and his OWN.
And all the world is sad and dreary,
Listening to his cry

THE proof that Governor Foraker
cares more for his party than he does
for the welfare of the State and its vayi-
Gus institutions is conclusive from bis
action toward the Xenia Soldiers and
Sailors Orphans Home. Fooled in his
attempt to reorganize the institution by
threats he has now dismissed trustee
Lloyd of Cincinnati, an honest Republi-
can whom Foraker could not use for a
tool. Lloyd refused to make the in
stitution a partisan machine, hence the
rumpus. The Home, which has been
the pride of the State, and more free
from politics than any other public in
stitution, will now be given over to
rioting life and scandal. just how,
nobody knows, but when Foraker puts
a lecherous henchman in the Blind
Asylum a friend in the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum who boils a patient to death,
and a pal in the penitentiary to paddle
sick women, the State need not be sur
prised to hear of almost any thing in
the line of scandal from Xenia. 1t is q
shame that Ohio has such aGovernor.-

"THE canvass of the State is COM

member the Republicans Dragged about
their canvass in 1888; they had 90 900
majority on paper and their newspa-

standing menace to the business of the
country" The commercial agencies
report the number of failures for the
first nine months of 1886 foot up 1852,

months of the year are S77, ITO, 644, or
$13, 500, IA less than the liabilities of
the same period in 1885. In point of

yeaI since 1888, and in point of liabili-
ties far below that of any year since
1882. These figures are not mere guess
work but the result of careful and pains
taking work. As usual, they give the
lie to the doleful croakings of the Re-
publican demagogues.
