Young republicans should organize into
local clubs. everywhere, by way of prepar-
ing for the political battle of 1SsS. And
old republicans should be sworn in as hon
orary and honorable members.

The Gdzctte people know a good thing
when they see it.
If the election of the next president
should go tn the House." that body. ac-
cording 10 the unit rule vote, would elect
the republican candidate, as twenty Of the
thirty-eight states are in the hands of men
of that party. 1t will not ''go to the House, "
however, for Blaine will have majority of
the electoral vote and be elected by the
people.
The official canvass in the Seventh con-
gressional district of Ohio was completed
Friday evening. 1t increased Little's vote
in all the counties except democratic Butler,
in which sufficient democratic votes were
found To put Campbell, democrat three
ahead, leaving Little out A significant
fact TO be considered in connection with
this is that seventeen prohibition votes were
cast at Cedarville with the name of the
prohibition candidate scratched off and the
name Of Campbell written in. This fact
speaks for itself.
The Dayton Journal makes this statement
concerning the assertion that Whitelaw
Reid, of the Tribune. was helped in pur-
chasing the paper and buying the Willard
mansion by his wife's father:
Mr.. Reid was large stakeholder in the
Tribune before he married, and had com
Portable surplus besides, the fruit Of hi
own business operations and application t"
business. His wife was quite a. fortunate
in her husband as he is in his wife.
This is fully and conspicuously true, in all
respects We know il.
A correspondent OF the London Daily
Nelrs has given this fine and concise de-
scriptiOn of the BarthOldi statue:
The statue in spite of its size, and not
of course, because Of it, is really hne
work. The artist is true Frenchman.
which counts for something in the result.
and as sculptor of the huge lion of BelfOrt
he has brought special experience TO bear
on his task. The pose, as it has been
well said, is simple and majestic, the
modelling broad and massive, yet, where ii
is needful. eXquisitely fine. There are
parts of the drapery that have the delicacy
of the work on a statuette, and this Is ELL
HANGED by a wholly accidental effect The
way, namely, in which the metal is wrought
by the hammer gives the whole surface
kind OF mottle which breaks up the light
precisely as il is broken up on silk. The
lower part of the robe looks like piece OF
beautiful texture work. while the mantle
above. in its majestic folds, is good ex-
ample of the management of masses of
drapery.
The following editorial, which appears
in the Xenia Daily Gazette, of Thursday,
is a plain statement of the facts of the To-
cal situation here, made by a gentleman
who is without personal bias:
The Champion City Times. the organ of
the Whiteleys at Springfield. came out in
double-leaded editorial, on election day,
saying that if Gen. Kennedy should run be
hind the republican ticket they would ac-
knowledge that the advocacy of his election
in the Times was injurious 10 him, but if he
should poll a larger vote than that cast for
the county ticket, then the Times would claim
its advocacy of him had been 10 his benefit.
Now for the result. Kennedy lost Spring
field by 755. while Robinson. republican,
for secretary of state, received 24O majority
in the city, showing that Kennedy run
almost thousand behind his ticket in
Springfield. Will the Times acknowledge
the corn now, or will it crawlish?
The fact that the Whiteleys' action
towards the Knights of Labor would be a
great injury to the republican party, was so
plain to everybody. that there was strong
talk that the republican state central COM
mittee would demand the diScOntinuance of
the paper. Whether such demand was made,
we are not aware, but certain it is that it has
been a great thorn in tie flesh of the Tepub-
lican party. When the circumstances of its
establishment Opposition 10 the Knights of
Labor are considered. it seems passing
strange that any considerable number of
people can be found TO either take the paper
or advertise in il.
Its life and being too, are based on the !.
abOminable ''boOdle'' theory that the mil /
liOnaire may and will crush from the face /
OF the earth all who dare raise their hands /
against him, no odds at what cost TO him.
Because the other newspapers Of Spring
field dared criticiSe his action towards the /
knights of Labor. he forthwith starts his |
organ, and almost gives il away, so as to i'll
jure, and if within his mighty power, kill |
the other papers for their hardihOod in dep
recating his methods.
People who patrOnize the paper say there
by that, for the sake of saving few cents
Der week, they are willing TO aid in crush
ing out established newspapers at the die
tum of Doodle boss trying to crush out a
on the part Of laboring men to
protect themselves. 1t is a disreputable
business all around.
