canvass I've assume that Mr. Blaine's
withdrawal is actual and positiye)
now are: Sherman, Depew, Allison,
IIawley, Harrison. We name them
in the order Of preference in which
they seem to stand at the present
moment.
Sherman's name is we'll fitted to
head the list. Honest John Sherman,
the wheel-horse of the republican
party, the sturdy supporter of sound
finance, the champion of free ballot
in the South, the man of integrity,
experience, true craftsmanship he
is a candidate to beget confidence
and make new friends to the party
from every section of the country.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, steadily and
rapidly growing in public favor, is
man of great business capacity, a
natural leader, discreet politician,
an orator of almost matchlesS versa
tility, and a candidate who is un-
doubtedly able to carry New York.
If the nomination is given to the
East, Depew OF Hawley will un-
doubtedly be the lucky man.
William B. Allison will have the
unanimous and hearty support of the
Iowa delegation. His public and
private record is without a flaw.
lie is a man of sterling worth; safe,
sound, solid. lie would be heartily
supported by all good people, and
would make an excellent candidate.
If the nomination goes to the West,
Allison's chance seems now to be
uext to Sherman's.
Senator Hawley measures well up
to the presidential standard. His
services in the House and Senate at
Washington have distinguished him
for broad craftsmanship, devotion to
the best interests of the country,
and sound political judgment. lie
is speaker of great power, soldier
of fame, and a gentleman Of spotless
character. lie is high in the conf
dence Of the party in the East, and
a campaign under his leadership
would be brilliant, enthusiastic and
aggressive.
Indiana, as one of the uncertain
States, could doubtless be brought
into line by Senator Harrison. He
has steadily grown in public favor,
and would be acceptable to the East
as well as the West. With Harrison
from Indiana for President, and
Morton or Miller from New York
for Vice-President, the republican
party would make a magnificent
fight.
With either Depew or Hawley
from the East, or Sherman, Allison,
or Harrison from the West, the re-
publican party would, we believe,
be sure of success. Let us have the
best of these, or a still better man,
if he can be found before the Con
vention meets, and we will have a
campaign worthy of the issue, an
issue worthy of the country, and a
result worthy of united party
whose past history has been without
a parallel in the annals of the world.

of her influence; Mrs. Blaine proved it
by helping to create supporters for the
Maine statesman; Mrs. Cleveland is do
ing it daily by influences the most deli
cate and subtle. The Chicago News
speaking with regard to the close of the
recent social season in Washington the
other day, said Of her: "She has done
more to uphold the dignity of the nation
and add to the happiness of its people
during the last two months than both
branches of Congress put together"
Whereupon the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph remarks that in 1888 the Re
publican party has got to defeat not
only Grover Cleveland, as in 1884, but
Mrs. Grover Cleveland az well and adds
that the latter is safe for good many
votes.

THE Columbus Journal is rating Sen
ator Sherman for introducing a bill in
the Senate that had been presented in
the House by Mr.. Butterworth, to make
an appropriation to place Govern
ment exhibit in the Cincinnati Centen-
NAL Exposition.
The Journal is antagonizing the Gin
cinnati enterprise and the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette says "the pro
moters of the Columbus Centennial are
a few local politicians and the State
Board of Agriculture;" but says "they
will not help their cow-shed show by
their aggressive stupidity"
1t seems a bill has been introduced in
the Legislature to appropriate $4,000
to help the Columbus affair along. The
Cincinnati paper concludes thus;
"There is also a bill to authorize the
Sinking Fund Commissioners to sink
100000 in aiding Columbus to play the
frog to our OK. The state of the treas
ury is, from what we hear, propitious
for such an investment, the perman-
ency of which would be unquestion-
ahlp"

MR.. BLAINE AS A WITNESS.

In 1881 Mr.. Blaine, then Secretary of
State, transmitted to Congress an elab-
crate report on the state of the cotton
goods trade, and presented statistics
gathered through American consuls in
England to prove that "the inequalities
in the wages of English and American
operatives are more than equalized by
the greater efficiency of the latter and
their longer hours of labor" Com
menting on the tables of wages submit
ted, Mr.. Blaine said (State Department
Commercial Report No. l2, p. 98, Octo-
Der, 1881
Undoubtedly the inequalities in the
wages of English and American opera
tives are more than equalized by the
greater efficiency of the latter and their
longer hours Of labor. If this should
prove to be fact in practice as it
seems to be proved from official statis-
tics, it would be an important element
in the establishment of our ability to
compete with England for our share of
the cotton-goods trade of the world.
In the two prime factors which may
be said to form the basis of the cotton
manufacturing industry namely: raw
material and labor-we hold the advan-
tage over England in the first and stand
upon an equality with her in the
second.
This confirms statements recently
printed, showing the wages and product
of English and American cotton spin
ners, and considering the product of
each, the American spinner gets the
least wages. Why then cannot the
American compete with the English
manufacturer? The cause is found in
the high tariff on chemicals, dye stuffs,
spinning machinery, tools, etc. Re
peatedly have American cotton manu-
facturers declared that if relieved from
these taxes they would undertake to
hold the American market against all
comers, and enter into competition for
the trade of every neutral port.

ALLEN o. MYERS turned up at
Washington and had a racy letter in
Saturdays Enquirer. He says he is
not lost, and he does not fancy fooling
away more time at dollar day dane
ing attendance on Judge jeffrey Pugh's
punch and judy performance. Besides,
he was discharged as the records will
show, and "the state bureau of lawyers,
conviets, thieves, perjurers and detec-
tives," has no claim on Allen.

A REPUBLICAN applied the tern

A REPUBLICAN, applied the term
"free trade" to the Democratic party.
A Democrat asked Mr.. Republican
why it was that Republicans could not
and would not tell the truth about the
Democratic party.
The Republican, as usual, only re-
peated his charge, when the Democrat
asked him for one item of evidence, in
or out of Congress-just a single item.
It came not.
The.Democrat then said, no Demo
cratic platform, no Democratic Presi-
dent, no Democratic Congress ever pro-
posed "free trade" The Democratic
party do demand just and equitable
tariff system, mot one of monopoly to
rob the people.

THE tally sheet forgery case in Col
umbus is being argued. Mr.. Converse,
in replying to Nash, referred to the
fraud of 1876 that counted in Hayes as
President. This great fraud should
never be forgotten nor forgiven. All
other election frauds sink into insignifi-
canoe compared to this. All through
it were perjury, forgery and fraud.
Sherman was into it; Chandler was
into it; and many other leading Repub-
licans were up to their eyes in the bus
iness. All infamous business never
seemed to hurt their standing with the
party.

Mr.. GEO. p. RowELL, of New York,
who is authority on such matters, in
an address before the American News
paper Publishers Association at In
dianapolis, proved that five newspapers
issue more than one-seventh of the
fetal edition of all the daily papers
printed. The number of daily newspa-
peFs in the United States now numbers
about fourteen hundred, consequently
the FIVE which were referred to must
each sell an average edition two hun
dzed times greater than the average of
the others.

THE SCHOOL BOOK MONOPOLY

Has got its hirelings at work, and the
Ohio State Journal is publishing la
bored articles in defence of this mon
strous trust" and in praise of its nu-
merous and multiplicity of books.
From the fulsome laudation one
might suppose there never were fit and
suitable school books until the Eclectic
publishing company appeared. 1t is
possible some may swallow this non
sense, those who do not know better;
but some there are whose memory and
experience know well the utter falsity
of the claim.
There We're brave men before Aga
memnon; scholars in days bygone;
good school books III the various Eng
lish branches before the Eclectic inn
posters appeared. In fact, English
Readers" and STANDARD Speakers" of a
high order were in existence long before
the Eclectic monopoly existed.
Good teachers, rather than costly
buildings, make good schools and the
good and capable teacher is of more
Importance than text books. Pesta.
lozzi taught without text books; and
the multiplicity of school books re-
CURED is Of doubtful propriety. The
Eclectic series of school books is not
above criticism as to merit, and their
cost to the people is simply robbery
and cannot be defended or excused.
The writer in the Journal elaborates
much on evils that may ensue if the
State undertakes the work of furnish
ing school books. This, of course, is
mere speculation in order to create
alarm and defeat the Monnot measure.
1t is the usual stop thief cry in such
cases,
The article in the Journal Of March
7, makes no attempt to explain the
enormous price the people Of Ohio are
compelled to pay for the Electic school
books. The writer, therefore, yields
the point, and it is the strong point. 1t
may be claimed then that it is admitted
that Mr.. Monnot's figures are correct;
that speller which retails at 19 cents
costs but or cents to the publishers,
and all the other books in about the
same proportion; that is, the people
pay about six times the original cost.
In the above connection it may be
asked, is it not the duty of our General
Assembly to protect the people from
such robbery? Our State provides for
public schools, and the State should see
hat the people are not abridged or de
1rived of these school privileges by the
enormous prices put upon school books
~ publishing house that has a COM
,iete monopoly over this whole State.
t is high time something were done. ,
The idea is fast gaining that school
looks should be made free as well as
he schools. Many children are depriv-
d of school privileges because the par
nts are too poor to purchase these /
ostly school books. If the Monnot
i'll fails to become law, let the school 4
ook question take the other shape. .
let the people demand free school a
ooks, and let the State contract for S
le same. We have free school librar-
.s-why not free school books? y

THE Mills tariff reform bill will be

Republican members are hostile and
