% GAINESVILLE Signal: A GAINESVILLE travel
ing man was at hotel in Bellefontaine day
or two after the Republican State Couven-
tion, and heard BOBBY Bob Kennedy curse
Foraker up and down and back again, in the
presence of quite little crowd. He declared
him hypocrite, a traitor, one-horse poll
tician and notorious liar. The trouble
with Kennedy is the same that afflicts many
Republican politicians. They have for years
supported and applauded Foraker's hypoc-
risy, bad faith, one-horse methods and lying
charges when directed towards Democrats
They never discovered the approbrium of
these methods of the little brass god until
they were made victims BOBBY Bob should
hold his head under water cooler and re-
quest somebody to turn the faucet.

What the Republicans Thought and
Said Before Their State Con-

In view of the fact that the Republican
State Convention nominated Foraker for
Governor fos the fourth time, the following
expressions from Republican papers, etc.,
before the convention, may be read with in
terest:
ut becomes our painful duty to record a
few facts. The Republican party of Ohio
C. can not afford to take any chances this fall:
The nomination of any man for the third
consecutive term would be one Of them. He
could not be elected. The Republican party
of Ohio can not afford to srenominate Ohio's
present able and effervescent Executive. He
would be defeated. He would run behind
his ticket in this county 500 votes-5O0 of the
representative votes of the county. He
would fall behind his ticket in Ashland,
Wayne, Lorain and Huron, and we know
whereof we speak. Furthermore. no man
should be allowed to break into the United
States Senate through the Gubernatorial
office. It won't do the party any harm to
ascertain where 1t l. going to jump. Mons
field Herald, June 20.
"Salmon p. Chase destroyed his political
prospects by planning for several important
Offices at once. A politician should not be
too greedy. The people do not take kindly
to the man who would shut out all others
from honorable places. - Toledo Commercial.
"We believe it impolitic and unwise to
present to the intelligence of Ohio the name
of any man for election to third consecu-
tive term to the Office of Governor. ."-Reso-
luton adopted By the Fdyette County Reptb-
lican Convention, June 21, 1889.
''If Gov. Foraker should be candidate
for reelection for Governor, or IL he should
name the candidate, whether it be Bushnell
or anybody else, his throat would BIZ cut
from ear to ear. This paper has no candi-
date, but we know enough to know what we
are talking about. t."--1'oledo Commercial,

~ Henry county is so far ahead of old
sleepy Fulton county, in all respects, that
the only way to get even, one would judge
from their tone, is for the Republican papers
of Fulton to cast slurs against progressive
Henry. This is done of course to divert at
tention from Henry county, which is rapidly
growing into one of the most progressive and
best agricultural counties of the State. The
people of Fulton county will get tired of this
slurring of their neighbors some day and will
swing around into the Democratic column
in order to release themselves from the
slough into which they have sank under big
goted and narrow minded Republican rule.

wT The Mansfield Shield and Banner says
that while Gen. Kennedy's campaign for the
nomination was in progress his friend j. B.
Smith, of Urbana, called particular attention
to the fact that Foraker always ran behind his
ticket, and to prove the assertion he pointed
to the following figures: r.,.as,s.~
In 1888 he was beaten by over 1900 ma
iority, while the Republican candidate for
lieutenant governor was beaten by only 6,OOO.
In 1885, he was 1,400 votes behind Kennedy,
the candidate for lieutenant- governor, and in
1887 his majority was over 1900 less than
Lieutenant Governor Lyons.
If there is anything encouraging in this,
Foraker's friends are at liberty to make the
most of it, At all events. the situation is es-
pecially favorable to tlle Democracy, for with
wise and judicious nominations and harmoni-
Gus work, the November returns will show

WHO FOR GOVERNOR

The Republican party, being mau wor-
shippers or destitute of talent within the ranks
of its place-seekers, have for the fourth
time nominated for Governor of Ohio the
man whom Gen. Beatty. his party associate,
designates as 'the little brass God," and
whose chief boast is that he carries a mouth
with him"-sufficie 1t, no doubt, to o'masticate
for the digestion of glutton's stomach, but
not supplied by brains To enable it to give
utterance to sentiments loftier than the low
est hissings of the most malignant hate.
We do not believe that the good, sensible
people of Ohio, who have a regard for their
own welfare and respect for the decent
proprieties of life and the convictions of
those honestly differing in opinion as to
public policy, will consent that 'the little
brass god" shall longer be worshiped as the
Deity of Republcanism and disgrace Ohio
as State.
1t then BECOMES important that the De-
mocracy should be careful in the selection of
a candidate who, as Governor of the State,
will be able to reinstate Ohio to respectable
position within her sisterhood.
We know of a man, (without disparage-
ment to others,) who. in our opinion, cannot
fail of success and will lead the decency of
Ohio to a glorious triumph over the most
contemplate fraud that ever diseraced her
executive chair.
We mean HoN. SAMUEL F. HUNT, of Gin
cinnati; and, without his consent or knowl-
edge, announce him as candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio, subject to the nomination of
the Democratic State Convention.
Mr.. HUNT is neither "fogy" or "kid,"
terms which should be unknown to the
vocabulary of Democracy. He is man in
the prime of life; in the full vigor of vigor-
Gus intellect; he is ripe scholar, fine law
yer, of irreproachable character, a logical
thin ker, an able debator, an eloquent talker,
and Democrat whose Democracy is more
than above suspicion and who is as true in
his convictions and in his every act to the
principle of popular government as were its
founders and defenders, the Jeffersons and
the Jacksons.
Give us as a candidate SAMUEL F. HUNT,
popular at home, favorably known every
where, admired by the veterans of the party,
cheered and applauded by the new recruits.
and respected by everybody, and the State of
Ohio will again take position among the
States which will not compel her citizens,
"from a decent respect for the opinion
of mankind" to deny the place of their resi-
dence-too long has our State been huge
temple of joss, where the image worshiped
has been made of brass!
