in this matter appears to have been en-
tirely fair and honorable, and the full
party strength ought to rally TO his
support. No one can question that he
has made an able executive, and the
thricc-accorded houors of his party
should win him friends rather than
make him enemies.
The campaign in Ohio promises to be
exceedingly vigorous and intere sting.
just now the democrats are not har-
monious. They are divided on the tariff
question, but it is probable that they
will get together" by the time their
state convention meets in August and
prepare to make hard fight for the
state. The indications are that cX-
Congressman Campbell will be their
gubernatorial candidates, In which event
Governor Foraker will have focman
more worthy of his steel than was the
democratic candidate of two yePrs ago.
The advantages of the situation are
with the republicans, if no serious dis
affections occur, but obviously this is a
danger not to be lost sight Of.

FoRAKER RENoMINA7ED.

The Ohio republican convention re-
nominated Governor Foraker on the
second ballot. He is now serving his
second term, and in naming him for
third term the republicans of Ohio have
disregarded the precedent Of both par
ties in that state. The exigenci es of
the situation, however, seemed to de-
mand the stalwart and vigorous leader
ship OF Foraker in the coming cam
paign, and although there were half
dozen excellent men presented to the
convention, and the governor had said
that he did not desire the nomination,
after a complimentary vote to
other candidates he carried oil the
honor by II majority which
clearly showed how strong the necessity
for his leadership was felt to be.
Governor Foraker represents the
young republicanism OF Ohio, and
this was en- thusiastic in his favor. 1t
gave no heed to the third term objec-
tion, and it insisted that Foraker had
no right to refuse demand of the
party after it had twice honored him
with its support and confidence. This
evidently impressed the governor, since
for some time before the convention he
was silent, and thus tacitly left the
issue in the hands Of his friends. Those
| opposed to him, as they saw tho trend
| of affairs, sought to draw Congress-
man Mckinley into the field, but
| he declined to allow his name to go be-
fore the convention. He is candidate
| for speaker of the next house of repre-
sentatives, with prospects not the least
| favorable among those whose aspira-
| tions are In that direction. No repub-
lican in Ohio is more popular than
Major Mckinley, and had he consented
to go before the state convention as a
candidate for governor it is quite possi'
BILE he would have received the nomina'
tion, and perhaps made stronger can
didate than Foraker. Under the cir
cumstances, however, he took the proper
course. The failure to induce Mekin
ley to run left the field clear
for Foraker without the slight
est effort on mis- part. The gov
ernor has some enemies, but his course

roo MICH ,STDE-SHOW.

There is danger that the movement
to organize and perfect week of at
tractive amusement in Omaha for next
fall will be overloaded with side-shows.
Division and destruction are threatened.
Catch-penny affairs are springing up
and individual greed usurps the public
good.
1t will not require extraordinary eX-
ertions to bring large crowds of people
to Omaha. The city itself is a perma-
nent attraction to the people of this
and surrounding states. The main
essential to success is unity
of action--a working together
of all forces for the common veal. 1t
will not do to scatter the attractions
in the four corners of the city. If we
are to have races and other amusements
at the fair grounds, and so-called expo
sition at another part it is important
that the managers should work in har-
mony with the merchants Week" as
sociation. Unless they get together and
formulate definite plan of action, the
result will be unsatisfactory If not inju-
rious to the city. +'
Three years ago the fair and eXposi-
tion operated separately. Although
advertised as the Omaha fair
and exposition, they were en-
tirely distinct in location and prices
The result was that visitors were
deceived and expressed their contempt
for tho gouge game in plain words. A
repetition .of that plan will keep thous-
ands away from the city this year.
There is no reason why a week of
amusements cannot be carried to n sue
cessiul close in Omaha. liz addition to
grand central exhibit at the fair
grounds, a variety OF public displays
should be arranged for the evenings.
The success of a feeble imitation of the
Mardi Gras, organized on short no.
tice three years ago demonstrated
what can be accomplished by orgariza-
tion and definite. purpose. Greater re-
suits can be gained this year by similar
energetic action. 1t Is not necessary
that the older heads should do the
work. BY placing the working details
in young, enthusiastic hands and sup
porting them with counsel and means,
surprising results can be accomplished.
ParAdes and iiluminations can be ar
ranged for every evening. The mate
rial and the energy is abundant. All
that is required is harmony, deti-
mite plans, and the selection 81 forcefui
men to execute the details. BY this
means we feel confident that great and
lasting benefits will flow to the city.

The president has appointed Mr..
William Wlthr Phelps, of New Jersey,
minister to &nrmany. Mr.. Phelps re-
turned FROM sa}erlin last Monday, hay
ing with him a copy Of the agreement
regarding Saploa reached by the con-
ference of Mich he was a member.
1t has beeN foreshadowcd that this
appointmchtMould be made, and while
it will therefore cause no surprise, it
will give very general satisfaction.
Few men are so we'll equipped by educa-
tion and long experience in public life
for diplomatic duties as Mr.. Phelps.
He has been eight years in congress,
and a considerable part of this time
he was member Of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs. In this capacity
he made himself thoroughly familiar
with the foreign policy of the govern
ment and acquired large knowledge OF
diplomatic usage. He has also had en-
perience in diplomacy, having been
minister to Austria in lSSl-2, while as
one of the commissioners to the Berlin
conference he must have acquired valu-
able insight into diplomatic methods.
For at least dozen years Mr.. Phelps
has been prominent in republican poli-
tics, and during this period one of the
staunchest friends of Mr.. Blaine. He
was delegate at-large from New Jer-
sey to the national republican con-
ventions of 1880 and 1884, in both
of which his iuflueLce was eXerted for
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine.
Undoubtedly no one would be more
acceptable to Germany than Mr.
Phelps, whose course in the Berlin con-
ference can not have failed to commend
him ms we'll TO the respect of the Ger
man government as to that OF our own
government. He will succeed a gem
tleman, George II. Pendleton, of Ohio.
whose ability and character won the
esteem of German diplomatic officials.
and who has made creditaDle record.
There can be no doubt that he will
worthily maintain the position which
the United States has attained in the
regard of Germany.
