If anyone is disposed to doubt the re-
sources of the Democratic party Of Ohio,
let hun ponder on an achievement at Colum-
bus just after the last State election. The
Democrats of Columbus found that to save
their fortunes, they must have more votes
in Precinct A., of the Fourth ward; as the
election had taken place and no rcpeaters
could be used, they decided to alter the tally
Sheet OF the ward So it was secured from
the Office Of the county clerk on Saturday
night and taken to the Ohio penitentiary.
There during Sunday, convict skilled in
such business, altered the figures on the tally
sheet so as to make a difference of three
hundred votes in favor of the Democratic
candidates. Sunday night the tally sheet
was returned to the court house. But the
forgers had forgotten the poll book in their
haste, and when the final count was made,
the fraud was so apparent that even the
Democrats would not stand by it. But
though the fraud was apparent, the facts
concerning its accomplishment have just
come to light. Certain attempts to obtain a
pardon for the convict as a reward of his
industry, happily failed; but the men who
engaged him to do the work are yet to be
nuuished

In the course of the debate on the legisla-
tive, executive and Judicial appropriation
bin in the House of Representatives, last
Meek1-AIr. Springer of Illinois made a speech
defending Commissioner Black and the ad-
ministration against the charge Of violating
the spirit of the civil service law. In the
course Of the speech he obtained leave to
print long list Of Republicans who still
hold office under Mr. Cleveland administra-
tion Mr. Springer did not fail to include
with each mans name the exact amount of
his salary. These details Of course had little
to do with the argument; but their effect on
the Democratic office seekers has been much
like the commotion tender kid would cause
in jungle full of tigers. The spectacle of
the places and the salaries has given the
Office seekers new courage, and they conf
IDENTIFY prophesy that many discharges will
be made at the end of the fiscal year. Mr..
Springer's list has been very illustrative.

The following was intended for last

the editor was absent from the city it did
not reach the Office in season:
The nomination OF Mr.. Hudd was
hardly a surprise as opinion had pointed
to him As the probable nominee before

had he given little personal attention
to Sheboygan county he would have beeL
the choice of the convention. He devel-
opsd considerable strength as candidate
in the field only one week.

tention is now passed and Mr.. Hudd is
entitled to hearty support.

their delicate attention, the actor good

IF The Sentinel finds that Fred Horn
did not state the truth in reference to j.
P. G. Cottrill, why does it accept con-
clusively that he told the truth about
Hudd? Fred has bevn saying great
many strange things. For instance that
be was intimate with Bismarck; that he
s'ran" the Charleston convention in 1860
and that he practically made Wisconsin
and large part of the United States.
1t is pleasing enough to read an account
of the multitudinous things Fred has
done and to laugh at them quietly while
admiring the easy flow of egotism. But
no one is inclined to take seriously what
Fred says.

FRED HORN says he has letters from
Manitowoc county democrats urging him
to be an Independent candidate. Now
Fred put your assertion beyond question
by publishing the name of any democrat
in this county who has written you such
letter. None but The Sentinel and
your own conceited self has looked upon
your candidacy in any other light than a
joke, or possible means of defeating the
regular democrative nominee. Come,
Fred, give the name of the Manitowoc
county man who seems to have as little
sense as yourself

FRRD HORN, before the Chiffon con-
vention was held, explained that he was
anxious to close political career by be-
ing q member of congress for a brief
period. He is closing career of capri
cious self conceit, inordinate selfshness
and complscent, though intense egotlsm
by an act of browning folly. He has al
ways been political harlequin and has
nagnifed his own importance to such
degree that he has mistaken his own
ambitions for party principles. The
Sentinel WAS shrewd enough to profit by
his vanity and has succeeded in making
the old man advertise his folly in the
hope it may be instrumental in defeating
Hudd. Horn lives on the memories of
the past. He held Office when he was
more active and less given to retailing
dreamy "reminiscences in which he was
the central figure giving directions to
national executives, cabinet officers and
national conventions; directing the policy
of the government or playing humble
dy peg" at school with Bismarck. Any
one who knew Fred either personally or
through his paper for the last few years,
could easily see that his vanity was the
string by which he could be led. The
Sentinel should have more regard for
charity than for political advantage and
not thus play upon his weakness. 1t is
always sad to zee an old man making
himself ridiculous and being led to draw
upon his vanity to such an extent as to
fancy he is the embodiment of politica
wisdom. The News gave evidence that
Fred is monomaniac on the subject oil
his own personality ard importance. He
sees nothing else; writes of nothing else
thinks of nothing else and his infrmity
should not thus be played upon. He
has always been inconstant in politica
matters; but not until age has weakened
the strength of his mind had the contem
plation of himself shut out the consider
alton OF everything else. His letter te
The Sentinel should in charity be allow
ed to pass without comment. 1t should
in kindness, be refused publication, bu
that The Sentinel is more partisan thar
humane. Poor Fred is 80 wrapped ur
in himself and desired the nomination sc
strongly that he is beside himself with
senile indignation that the delegates die
not estimate him at the value he placed
upon himself. 1t is childish anger and
he throws himself into the arms of the
opposition because it pets his petulance
and assures him he was wronged because
he was not nominated.

The Sentinel should not be so severe
on Blaine now that he is not in politics,
and should be little cautious in making
distinctions between the two classes of
voters in the presidential election of
1884. Blaine's supporters in this dis
trict may take offense at The Sentinel's
suggestion that "that those who are OPP
posed to men who in official position
allow themselves to acquire an improper
interest in measures subject to their
official action, have an opinion to express
that opposition by voting for Mr.. Luling. "
The Sentinel should be more circumspect.

TIE supsrintendents' convention held
at Oshkosh on Thursday and Friday OF
last week was the largest in numbers ever
held in this state. The conventions are
now authorized by law and are an
admirable means of furthering the edu-
cational progress of the state. Supt.
Graham has such knowledge OF the
common schools and the duties OF the
superintendency as to make this scheme
an outgrowth of his experience and
observation, 80 that it is in no sense an
experiment. There were only few
superintendents in the entire district
absent. The session was held in the
Normal School building and President
Albee, Professors Briggs aid Harvey
and some of the other normal school
teachers were present from time to Tins.
Assistant Superintend Chandler was also
present during the two days and COL
tributed much toward making the con-
vention success.
The topics discussed were, EQUALITY,
location, heating, ventilation. seating,
light, apparatus of school houses"
"Teachers-Ability to govern, organ
ize and instruct"
"Examinations-Tim devoted to,
public, private, nature of oral work,
method of determining standing"
'Institutes-Attenda work done,
reasons for full or sparse attendance,
changes needed"
"Course of Study-Number of schools
which have adopted, results, objections,
examinations at end of course, tests.
Attendance of pupils-Regularity,
absenteeism, with causes"
Glow may the superintendent render
his supervision effective.
"Plans of examination in Physiology
and Hygiene"
There was not sufficient time for dis
cussion of all the subjects on the pro.
gramme, Notwithstanding that an even
ing session was held which continued
until after 10 o'clock. Those conventions
are inspiriting and educating and gives
each superintendent the benefit of the
experience of all the others.

Mr.. HUDD was sick during the coDven-

Every one had the sincerest sympathy
for him in his distress, except Fred Horn,
who occupied room adjoining that of
Mr.. Hudd. But his petulant chagrin at
not getting the nomination kept him
from visiting Mr.. Hudd after the con-
seution. He went home to abuse his
successful opponent and to try to secure
from the republicans what the democrats
refused him.

was a statesman in the highest sense of

late years he determinedly declined to
be a candidate for any position and gave
his whole attention to agricultural mat
ters. He was man of brilliant powers
and of answering honesty.

His income, of course, is very small and
