II KNOW Mr.. Lampson, or did know
him very wcll. consider his nomina-
tion disgrace. for | am certain he Is the
most unreasonable. bitter and fanatical
man ever met. TO tell the straight
truth of the matter. knew him to be a
sneak and spotter of the most dishon-
orable specios."-A Republican OF
Youngstown.
If Governor Foraker should be cam
didate for reelection for Governor, or II
he should name the candidate whether
it be Bushnell or anybody clsc, his
throat would be cut from ear to ear.
This paper has no candidate. but wo
know enough to know what wa are talk
Ing about.-Tolcdo Comm orcial, Ropub-
lican.
MAJOR MCKINLEY recently visited
Johnstown and said he would favor APP
preparations to clean out the Conrmaugh
river. Major Mckinley is very liberal
with other peoples money. What
Pennsylvania needs is law that will
be enforced to prevent her rivers from
being filled up by mine waste and mill
Stag.
THE administration of Mr.. Harrison
is little more than six months old. but
1t has already made MANY enemies in tho
Republican household. The distribu-
tion of patronage has been tho chief
trouble. of course, but there are other
contributory causes. sopc of which re-
late to tho question. who shall be Mr..
Harrison's successor.
THE Republican papers Just now are
having great deal to say about Johnny
Mclean, Tom Cogan, Allen O'Mycrs and
other Cincinnati celebrities" and are
holding them up as political scarecrows
to frighten old women. II the grand
old Republican party" can not afford bet
ter arguments than such idiotic stuff as
this, it had better close its accounts and
prepare for burial in the Potters field.

l ASSUME that the Republican party Of
Ohio is in the main composed OF honest.
Intelligent mon: that they want whole
truths. not half truths. from those who
presume to instruct them from tho
stump; that they are opposed to electing
any man for third term that they de-
sire practical. sensible man in the ex-
ecutive Office. and ! therefore take it for
granted that Foraker will be beaten this
fall at least so, 900 vote5.-John Beatty.
TASSEn's remarks at Milwaukee, con-
cerning pensions to widows wore grossly
scandalous. lie said. advocating tho
continuance OF the WIDOWS pension in
tho event of hcr rcmarrin-n. that to
fail to pass some such rulc Is to place q
premium upon immortality. There is
not a week that there arr not great
many cases that come to my kn0wl"d"e
where women have bartcrcd away their
virtue to retain their pension. In my
opinion you will do just act to relieve
the Commissioner and his subordinatos
from being forced into Investigations for
having granted pensions in eases whero,
according to law thoy would not bc
granted, but were obtained by fraud"
IT Is n noticeable fact that Patrick
and Austin Ford and Foraker and Hal
stead form a prominent aud mutual ad-
miration society The Irish World, cd
tied and publ shed by two rank. coward
ly deserters in face Of tho enemy. aftcI
less than five months alleged service
Foraker, who never fired shot at an
armed foe. except with his mouth at
long range. llalstn:ld. who never loft
Cincinnati during tho war. except when
John Morgan made his raid.
They arc the four mon who assume Ia
own and control tho soldier vote. Tc
direct it for Foraker's recollection as
Governor and Ilalstead Il election as l.,
S. Senator. To indorse the D.'partmnn!
decision that dcscrtion Is no bar TO no
curing pensions--enabling tho desert
ers Ford to make big draft Gn the pom
sion fund for their services to Foraker

Gro. W. CHILps, in speaking of Cen
eral Grant, says:
"As to General Grants third torn, h,
never by word or by letter suggested II
any one that he would like to be nomi
mated for third torn. Neither Mr.
Conkling nor General Logan nor Scna
tor Cameron had any assurance from
him in any way that no wished the nom
ination. and they proceeded In that tigh
without any authority from him what

After his second term no told me:

General Grant intondcd to decline. II
