general counsel. Again elegantly en-
graved certificates Of stock were printed
BE also organized the Southern 0hie
safety deposit company with q great
flourish of trumpets. A corps of srchi
tects were employed 10 furnish plans fol
an enormous structure. The usual Ger.
tif1cates Of stock were issued but the
building was never built except on pa
per and the stock Is not worth the paper
1t is printed on. Boone's object in each
of these cases was probably to induce
similar companies to buy OF his opposi-
ton.
His last scheme was the organization
about eight months ago Of company
for the manufacture of fuel gas. The
company had capital stock Of several
millions. The original plant, Boone
said, was at jackson, Mich, and on his
representations he asgiven franchise
to lay gas mains on the streets of Zanes-
vile. Governor Foraker as usual, was
the guarantee Of good faith. The object
was to bulldoze.
A little incident occurred about year
ago which indicates that Foraker's
treachery to Sherman was deliberate
and premeditated. At the convention
to select delegates from the Sixteenth
District to the National Republican
Convention Boone tried to set up the
pins to have himself elected delegate.
Realizing, however, that this would be
impossible unless he was Sherman
man he openly pledged himself to the
Mansfield oracle and, moreover, wrote
to Sherman to secure the latter's in
dorsement of his candidacy. Sherman
knew Boone's relation with Foraker and
having reason to suspect the tricky
Governor-suspicions which subsequent
ly proved we'll founded-he responded
in a polite letter in which he informed
Boone that it would be delicate matter
for him to interfere in the selection of
delegates and thanking him for his
solicitation but wisely evading an in
dorsement. 1t was we'll understood that
Boone was for Foraker and If elected he
was to slip in and help knife Sherman.
This is but fragmentary account Of
Foraker's connection, politically and
financially, with one of the smoothest
adventurers the State has known for
years. That the Governor of Ohio should
prostitute his high Office by lending his
name and reputation to bolster up paper
enterprises is almost incomprehensible.
The fact that none of the many COM
panies organized by Boone and backed
by Foraker ever began operations and
that there is no probability that the
promoters stock of the Black Diamond
system will be redeemed is of itself
ample evidence of the character of the
enterprise.

n ALSTEAD UPON THE THIRD
TERM.

Ghosts That Now Rise to Confuse Him.
lis Foraker Greater Than Grant That
He Should Have a Third Term9
Cincinnati Commercial May 8 1880:
"We go further and say that, not only
Is 1t clear in our Judgment that the
third-term party would be defeated, but
that they ought to be beaten, and must
be at all hazards, no matter who else are
winners"
Cincinnati Commercial, May 4, 1880:
People who say Grant carried Ohio in
1879, and that he can do it again, forget
that Grant wasn't running for third
term in 1872, and that the record of his
second term was not before the public"
Cincinnati Commercial, May 4, 1880;
s'If there is a third-term party after
the Chicago Convention, it will be hit
in the nose by Ohio in the next October
election. This is fact that the conspir-
ators might as well digest"
Mr.. Halstead wrote as follows in 1880:
''The great name is tha4 of Grant. His
fame is of use to the Bosses, simply to
fool the people who are fond of feathers.
He has been tried as President, and
public plunderers reposed under his
august shadow. He knew little of DO
litical principles, and cared nothing for
public morality"
The Cincinnati Commercial of May 8,
1880, prints and indorsed letter written
by Fred Hassaurek, the distinguished
editor at that time of the Cincinnati
Volksblatt, to the organizers of the anti
third-term demonstration at st. Louis.
The letter is dated May /, 1880, and con-
tains the following utterances: s'It is
needless for me to say that am fully in
accord with the object of your conven.
tioh. am opposed to the nomination Of
General Grant or any other candidate for
third term. n y Ithas be.
come fashionable, in some circles, to
sneer at the opposition to a, third term
as superstition. Under this supersti.
tiop, however, our institutions have been
Strengthened and preserved. With this
superstition our country has become
great and remained free. If it be supef-
,stition to cherish proper reverence for

N0N.PARTISAN.
Twelve Truths Which ali Fair-Minded
Citizens Must Endorse.
General Beatty's Summary of
the Situation.

1. The voter who affirms that the
PEOPLE are not competent to select their
own election boards, police boards and
boards of public affairs, in effect denies
that the people are capable of govern
ing themselves, and hence rebels against
the fundamental principles of republic
an government.
Q. The man who speaks in eulogy Of
the intelligence of the people and yet in
effect affirms that they do not know
enough to select their own street COM
missioners, is an impudent imposter.
8. The man who argues that nom
partisan board of public affairs is the
best thing for the city of Hamilton, and
a partisan board the best for Cincinnati,
assumes that his hearers are block.
heads.
4. The politician who insists that men
too vicious to vote for police commits
sioners are good enough to vote for
police or common pleas Judge, convicts
himself of falsehood.
5. The man who votes to deprive the
people of our larger cities Of the right to
select their own boards of election, DO
lice boards and boards of public affairs,
in effect sanctions a principle which, il
honestly and impartially applied, would
put the power in the hands of one man
to appoint every county, township and
municipal officer in the State.
6. The voter who condemns third
term for President and yet approves
third term for Governor, is not only in
consistent-he is ridiculous.
Z. The voter who can not distinguish
between third term for legislative or
judicial Office without patronage, and
third term for an executive office with
patronage, is too stupid to comprehend
an argument.
s. The man who comedies that third
term precedent would be dangerous to
the country and yet votes to establish it
is his country's enemy.
8. The man who by his vote approves
what he knows to be wrong, in order to
keep in line with his party and secure
an office, condemns himself as unworthy
ofspublic trust.
10. The voter who is controlled by his
personal or partisan prejudices is not
only not free man, but he is not com
petent to reach correct conclusion.
IL. The man who dare not criticise his
party when his Judgment tells him it is
wrong, is a coward.
10. The citizens who seeks to Justify
his vote by the assumption that he chose
the lesser evil, is neither Christian nor
an honest man. JOHN BEATTY.

THE financial affairs of Ohio must be
run on magnificent scale truly. Tri-
fies receive no attention at the hands Of
the financiers.
The fact that $25O,0O0 of the sinking
fund was transferred to the general rev.
enue fund in violation of q constitutional
provision is regarded as SO insignificant
that the people in charge of the States
affairs regard it simply as piece Of i'm.
pertinence to call public attention to it.l
