POINTS FOR THE PEOPLE
FORAKER is becoming furious.

AnE DoLnOCrdJlC OrBdulldtlOu IN Ou4O
is in splendid condition.
DID Foraker tell Corporal Tanner to
stick or resign? Out with It'll The old
private soldiers want to know.
Mrs. JOHN A. LOGAN expects to visit
Ohio before the election; will Foraker
and Halstead run?
The Democracy in every county Of
Ohio but eight, have completed their
organization and by October all will be
in superb shape.
THE rule upon which the American
people have finally settled is that two
terms in succession shall be the limit
in an executive Office like that of Presi-
dent or Governor. John Beatty.
FORAKER forced himself on the Re-
publican ticket, but he would not permit
Lieutenant-Governor Lyons to run for a
second term, because Lyons does not be-
lieve in Foraker's Strangers.
WHO is in the soup but poor Corporal
Tanner.
THEY pushed him in because he was
fakir.
But he will soon be joined in happy
manner.
BY our own beloved ]. Benson For
aker.
II KNOW Mr.. Lampson, or did know
him very well. l consider his nomina-
tion disgrace, for am certain he is the
most unreasonable, bitter and fanatical
man l ever met To tell the straight
truth Of the matter, knew him to be a
sneak and spotter of the most dishon-
orable speciesr-A Republican of
Youngstown.
If Governor Foraker should be can
didate for reelection for Governor, or if
he should name the candidate whether
it be Bushnell OR anybody else, his
throat would be cut from ear to ear.
This paper has no candidate, but we
know enough to know what we are talk
ing about.-Toledo Commercial, Repub-
lican.
MAJOR MCKINLEY recently visited
Johnstown and said he would favor ap-
propriations to clean out the Conemaugh
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 tbs
Republican household. The distribu-
tion of patronage has been the chief
trouble. of course, but there are other
contr1butory causes, some of which re-
late to the question who shall be Mr..
Harrison's successor.
The Republican papers just now arc
having great deal to say about Johnny
Mclean, Tom Cogan, Allen O'Myers and
other Cincinnati celebrities" and are
holding them up as political scarecrows
to frighten old women. If the grand
old Republican party" can not afford bet
ter arguments than such idiotic stuff as
this, it had better close it's accounts and
prepare for burial in the Potter's field.
--Clermont Sun.
I ASSUME that the Republican party of
Ohio is in the main composed of honest,
intelligent men; that they want whole
truths, not half truths, from those who
presume to instruct them from the
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 $4,000 votes.-John Beatty.
TANNERS remarks at Milwaukee, con-
cerning pensions to widows were grossly
scandalous. He said, advocating the
continuance of the widows pension in
the event of her remarriage, ''that to
fail to pass some such rule is to place a
premium upon immortality. There is
not week that there are not great
many cases that come to my knowledge
where women have bartered away their
virtue to retain their pension. Inmy
opinion you will do a just act to relieve
the Commissioner and his subordinates
from being forced into investigations for
having granted pensions in cases where,
according to law they would not be
granted, but were obtained by fraud"
IT IS noticeable fact that Patrick
and Austin Ford and Foraker and Hal
stead form prominent and mutual adj
miration society. The Irish World, ed
tied and published by two rank, coward
IL deserters in face of the enemy, after
less than five months alleged service!
Foraker, who never fired a shot at an
armed foe, except with his mouth at
long range. Halstead, who never left
Cincinnati during the war, except when
John Morgan made his raid!
They are the four men who assume to
own and control the soldier vote! To
direct it for Foraker's reelection as
Governor and Halstead's election as U.
S. Senator. To indorse the Department
decision that desertion is no bar to Sc
curing pensions-enabling the desert
ers Ford to make a big draft on the PEN
sion fund for their services to Foraker
and Halstead!-Thomp. Burton, in the
Southwest.
GEO. w. CHILDs, in speaking of GEN
eral Grant, says:
GAS to General Grants third term, he
never by word or by letter suggested to
any one that he would like to be nomi-
mated for third term. Neither Mr..
Conkling nor General Logan nor Sena.
tor Cameron had any assurance from
him in any way that he wished the nom.
