Every sixth year, for eighteen
years, Ohio has elected Democratic
legislature, by which the Senators
from that State have been kept one a
Democrat the other a Republican.
This is the year when successor is
to be chosen to Senator Payne, and
people are curious to know whether
the record is to be broken or not. If
the legislature goes Democratic young
Foraker will be shelved. He is aspir-
ing to the Senate and we hope will
be left largely in the lurch. Ohio is
pretty strongly Republican.

The Republicans last fall made an
appeal to the fears of the people
against the reform policy Of the Dem.
ocrats. Men were told that if a change
was made the country would go at
once to the bow-wows. Industry
would be paralized, manufacturers
would break, merchants suspend and
the whole UuiOn be ingulfed in a
common ruin.
Well, six months have passed and
except IN one case. more failures have
secured than ever before since the
panic. The number offailures aggre
gated 5918, being twelve per cent.
increase over the preceding six
months.
At the South where The people
favor tariff reform, there was a de-
crease in the number of failures, but
q the North the manufacturers and
merchants failed right and left.
While these failures in business
have been reducing thousands to
poverty. the drain of gold from this
country has excited grave apprehen-
sions in financial circles that some
serious calamity might occur. The
seCklsasnesa of the Republican lead
srsin maintaining an improper system

PARK CITY, Aug. Especial to the HERALD !
"A rousing Liberal meeting was held in front
OF the Park City hotel tonight, the principal
speaker being Prof. Edward Benner, Col. VIM.
NJ Ferry and E. p. Ferry. The chief address of
the evening was that delivered by Colonel Ferry,
In the course of which he announced that he did
not favor the removal of the county seat from
CoalVllle TO Park City. He held that the proposed
change was unnecessary, and said that this
feature OF the campaign was unimportant as
compared with other issues. His speech was
like the bursting of a hombshell in the camp of
the Liberals who favor the change and il is
thought that the address will go far towards
defeating absolutely the scheme for the removal
OF the county seat Ferry's speech came nearer
the old blood and thunder article than ANYTHING
that has heretofore been heard during the cam
paign.
Since sending my dispatch this morning 1
nave found many prominent citizens here who
are radically opposed to the removal of the
county seat. Many of the wealthy mine owners
and merchants do not care to stand the extra
ordinary taxes which the building of a new
court house would involve The Liberals say
they have promises that if the county seat shall
be taken to Park City, at least one term a year
OF the district court will be held in this city
This promise viii undoubtedly have some effect
upon the election. but taldngit all in ALL viewing
the question from its present aspect, think It
Is safe to say that the boom in favor of removal
Is busted and the movement will be certainly
defeated at the polls on Monday.
