THE Daily Mansfield Shield and
Banner says that Cleveland aud Thur
man will carry Richland county by
l 200 majority.
IN view of Foraker's unscrupulCu US
political ambition, which led him to
prove false to Sherman ut Chicago, the
Akron Beacon presents him in his
true estimate when contrasting perfidy
and treachery and steadfast loyalty to
pledges and plighted friendship, as
exemplified in the action of |. b., and
those who proved true to the man
above all others deserving recognition
and preferment by his party.
GEORGE EvERHART, q prominent
young real estate dealer and capitalist
of Chicago, has been authorized by a
gentleman in New York city to place
81, ,O0O, 900 on the re. election of Presi.
dent Cleveland. The bets are to be
made in sums of $4,000 each and up
| ward.
| THE recent floods in Mexico were
fearfufin in disaster to life and property.
Over l 500 were drowned in Leon, the
bodies of 1000 of the victims having
been recovered. In some districts the
receding water is full of dead bodies
floating as thick as driftwOod, and the
stencil prevailing is frightful. Meas
ures are being taken all over Mexico
to raise funds for the sufferers.
| For the first time in the history of
either of the great parties, woman
took part in the recent National con-
vention at Chicago. Mrs. John A.
Logan was very active in the support
of Alger, of Michigan. She establish
ed headquarters at the Grand Pacific
Hotel, and labored most Increasingly
in the interests of her favorite. She
led the opposition to Gresham, whom
she dislikes.
THE Zanesville Board of Education
has taken comm endable action rela
ting to the salaries of teachers in the
public schools of that city, all being
placed on an equality save high school
and special teachers. Were il univer
sally recognized that the labnrs and
duties of the primary teacher are not
simply for the novice, our schools
would be more satisfactory in equip
ment of competent Instructors.
| SENATOR SHERMAN in re cent in
terview, thus expressed bims. If i / re-
gard to the theory INDUCED by the
manipulators at the Chicago conven-
ton: The theory of the nominations
made was that the doubtful states were
to furnish the candidates. aud upon
this theory the persons living in Re.
publican states were Disseminated
against The New York delegation
practically dictated both nominations,
and did not consider or vote for any
person not resident of those states
To this theory the convention unwil.
lingly yielded. / sincerely hope that
the election will show that it Is the
correct theory. Both Harrison and
Morton are gentlemen of high charac
ter, good Republicans, and ought to
be elected, but whether the theory of
their selection was correct one will
be best judged by results" This may
not be the first instance in which the
theorists were fallacious i'm their reck.
Onings and anticipations. Evidently
Mr.. Sherman's better judgment is not
in line with the theories of the
wiseacres at Chicago.
