The Dayton Herald approves of our sug-
gestion to the effect that our local clergy
men preach sermons on public school work,
and adds:
Preachers are "closely related" to all
good work of the present, and we have OBJ
served that the ones who are up to the
times-who talk about the questions of the
hour-are the popular and most efficient
ministers.
That is quite true, and well put. "Clean
streets" as topic for sermon, wouldn't
be bad-would, indeed, be very good and
suggestive-if well treated.

The Cincinnati Times-Stdr, through the
'.inadvertence" of its Washington CORE
spondence." did great injustice to Colonel
A. l.. Conger, of Akron, the Ohio member
of the republican national committee. The
dispatch referred to the management of the
campaign in Ohio in 1854 and reflected un-
Justly upon Colonel Conger's judgment in
the use of the campaign fund, and as 1t was
copied, in part, into the REPUBLIC. we
take pleasure in copying the following from
the Times-Stdr, of Saturday:
Colonel Conger did his full share toward
procuring financial aid for the republican
state committee for the campaign of 1884.
ard every dollar of the funds so furnished
was placed in the hands of the state execu-
tive committee, and every dollar furnished
by the national committee for the Ohio
campaign in 1884 was disbursed through
the state executive committee with the ad-
vice and cooperation of Colonel Conger;
and the letters of Hon. b. F. Jones, chair
man of the national committee, and of
Hon. John F. 0glevee, chairman of the re-
publican state executive committee of Ohio
for 1854, show better than anything else
formed.
Col. Conger has never been a candidate
for any political office in all these years, but
has worked increasingly, heart and soul, for
the success of the republican party. As
the custom has been to give the members OF
the national committee two terms, 1t Is
eminently proper that so faithful man be
reelected at Chicago.
No truer CT more experienced republican
could be placed on guard for this position,
and the 1fmes-Std gladly rights the wrong
impression given out in the correspondence
of May 9.
We have seen copies of the letters from
Chairman Jones, of the national committee,
and Chairman 0glevee, of the state execu-
tive committe of 1884, and they fully vindi-
cate Col. Conger. We approve of the
Times Stars cOmmendation of the colonel,
and adopt 1t as our own.

The New York World is trying to NOM
mate candidate for the republicans. In
its issue for May S1st, 1t says:
The indications point clearly to Gresham
as the coming man. He Is the first choice
of Illinois and the second choice of the en-
tire northwest. He will divide the south
with Sherman. He combines more ele-
ments of strength than any other candidate
of his party, and shrewd politicians NOM
mate for strength first of all.
Judge Gresham's strong points have been
heretofore described by the World as a
matter of information and to enable demo-
Gratis to know their probable antagonist.
He is 'child of the common people," as
were Lincoln. Grant and Garfield. He is
honest, clean and fearless. Even so stall
wart a democrat as Senator Voor-
hees says there can be no per
sonal warfare on Gresham. He has as
Judge incurred the enemity OF that colos-
sal railroad wrecker and security absorber,
Jay Gould, and this fact would be as val
liable to him in the election as his gallant
war record. Gresham is not an extremist
on the tariff. He could be run as pro-
tectionist in the strong protection states,
and as a revenue reformer where tax re-
duction is in favor. He would probably
call back more of the mugwumps who b0lted
Blaine than any other republican who
could be nominated. His colorless record
in the civil service would invite the hope Of
the reformers and the confidence of the
spoilsmen. He lives in Indiana, pivotal
state for the republicans. He is on the
bench, and would hold aloof from the can
vass, and so avoid possible mistakes that
have proved fatal to many candidates.

The government is probably being robbed
of hundreds of thousands of dollars each
year by persons known as snide pension
agents. Cases sre worked up of men who
never received any damage in the service
except from stolen whisky, and by means of
fraud and perjury they receive pensions, the
agents getting good share. That is to say,
we believe this to be the fact. There are
pretty strong surface indications pointing
that way in this city. We call upon our
Grand Army posts to give some attention
to this matter. All honorable and honest
veterans-and most of them are of that
sort-are interested in the suppression of
imposition and fraud. All men who were
really invalided or disabled in the service
should be literally cared for by the govern
ment, but this doling out of sums
of money to shirks and frauds, to be
wasted in whisky and tobacco in few
months, should be suspended.
