Deputy Clerk of Supreme Court.

The Republican Executive Committee
of Clinton Co., Ohio has issued an address
TO the Republicans Of the State, asking the
nomination OF Orange Frazer at the next
State convention OF the party for the office
of Clerk of the Supreme Court. Clinton
County is a reliable Republican county,
giving a majority of about LOO, and her
voice is potent with the party in Ohio.
The man she names for that position Is
one OF the most competent in the State.
lie is lifelong Republican, faithful TO
duty and loyal to principle. lie was ap.
pointed 10 the office OF Deputy Clerk
under Capt Rodney Foos in 1913, and was
again appointed TO the same position
under Hon. Dwight Crowell, serving
through his term of Office 10 the entire
satisfaction OF the bar of Ohio and the
approval OF the Judges OF the Supreme
Court.
lie was gentlemanly and urbane in his
department in the office. He was cOmpe.
tent and ready in the discharge Of its du-
ties, and accommodating TO the bar and
suiiors in the Court. He writes most
beautiful hand, and the perusal Of his
records is made with great ease. The files
OF the offices, while under his care, were
always accessible. We speak from per.
sonal knowledge, having had occasion TO
do business with him while acting as Dep
uty Clerk.
Then, when the voice Of his county
names him for this place, and when his
fitness therefor is remembered, that voice
should be iavoraby heard. We hope that
Lorain County will cast her solid vote for
Mr.. Frazer, when the convention meets.
II cannot do a more fitting thing than this,
and thereby aid the party and a very
worthy young man.

Horses With Sense.

A st. Louis man says: You
have noticed how street car horses
slow up and stop regardless of the
driver or the brake when they hear
the bell give the signal to stop, and
how they plunge ahead again when
the conductor sounds the lall right
signal. | don't know it to be a
fact, but have heard street car
men say that after a horse has
done his five trips day, or the
regular number allotted to him, he
will kick like a bay steer if they
attempt to take him out to make
another one. That looks to me as
horse counted his trips
and resented any attefnptat impo,
sition when he found that he had.
done his regular days work. Old
soldiers tell me that when IN action
horses obey bugle calls without a
word from their riders. And,
speaking about bells, everybody
knows that horses at race will
slow up at tile sound of the BELL
You may remember reading the
case Of Blue Mare, at Buffalo, re-
Gently. She ran away, and was
getting around at tremendous
speed, when somebody thought Of
ringing the bell. At the frstsound
of tho gong she slackened her pace
and, slowing up, turned around and
came back. It's quite the regular
thing TO stop runaway horse Oh
the track in this manner.
Captain Evans, Of the Salvage
Corps, has horse that counts the
strokes of the alarm gong. | for.
get what the signals are, but the
gong sounds nine, three times as
one signal; eight, three times as
another, and ten, three times as a
still alarm. Well, sir, whenever
the gong strikes tile first ten, this
horse is up and rearing. He goes
crazy, and stamps and jerks ard
whines until he gets everybody up.
The eight signal or the nine signal
he won't pay amy attention to, and
will sometimes sleep through, but
the ten signal sets him wild. The
boys don't have to count for a still
alarm. The horse does it for them.
Now this is an actual fact, and
Captain Evans will verify it,
