TO say. - -
Returning from the war when peace
was declared, the youthful veteran
wasted no hours in idleness, but enter
ed college. This was Forakerism.
Yes; and II FOraker's fellow students
may be believed, he left the Ohio Wes-
leyan university because coIored man
was admitted. This has been denied,
but assume the denial is but another
exhibition Of fForakerism,
Upright In character, we'll versed In
the law, of judicial temperament,
while still youth he was elected to the
bench. This was Forakerism." ..7
Unquestionably. They have not
had lawyer on the bench in Cincin-
natl for fifteen years. Inquiry will
show that three-fourths of the business
OF the supreme court comes from Ham,
ilton county, and the decisions of the
judges of that county are more freuuent-
ly reversed than those of country ius-
tice of the peace. The truth is that iu-
dicial honOrs in Cincinnati invariably
fail to brief1ess limbs of the law. This
is the case In most Of our large cities,
but notOriOusly the fact in Hamilton
county, where judges are selected to
promote litigation, not to end 1t. Fl.
The alleged editorial to which have
thus briefly referred is now being sent
out from the executive office and will
be copied in all the leading Republican
papers of the State. 1t appeared on the
18th In the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette. Just what it costs the Governor
to get it printed l don't know, but
fear he is paying more than the slush
is worth. .F., ~.
In the Dispatch for Monday, the 18th,
is the following "special:n ts. -
NEW GRAND HOTEL SUMMIT Noun
TAIN, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Governor Fora
ker was the lion of the hour at the re-
ception given at the Grand hotel by ex-
Gov. Cornell to Gen. Barnum. ..l
Who sent this special? 1t is not an as
sociated press report. 1t will be found
in no other paper. The Dispatch has
no correspondent at Summit Mountain.
Where did the thing come from? From
Gov. Foraker himself to the clerks of
the executive office and through them
to the Dispatch. This is Forakerism.
The following, also in the Dispatch of
the 18th inst, is product of the gov
ernor's private literary bureau:
"Gov. Foraker is receiving royal
treatment at the hands of the New
York militia. Each individual seems
to be vieing with every other to do him
the highest honor. He is feted and
made a lion of wherever he goes. Ev-
cry patriotic Ohioian will feel glow of
pride in the studied and conspicuous at
tentions shown his chief executive" .
| This is Forakerism; but I fail to feel
the glow of pride referred too. Other
peculiarities of Forakerism may be
enumerated as follows:
| Interference with superlntendents
and boards of trustees in the selection oil
nurses, attendants and hostlers at asy-
lums. .a.iI h'@ i ar
Distribution of places under the gov.
ernor's control to those whom he can
use to perpetuate himself in office, and
as rewards for personal service.
| The appointment to important posi-
tiOns of disreputable tricksters. .
Whining about the insufficiency of
the salary attached to an Office he was
eager to obtain. aE .5 4uaf ,Isa..
