The Democrats of Ohio are
working in earnest for success.
Splendid nominations for the Leg
islature are being made all over
the State, and we are satisfied that
they will Garry the State. The
people are getting tired of Fora
kerism and the general methods
of the Republican party. The
members Of the q. A. r. are sore
iovei the treatment of Tanner.
The farmers and wool growers are
beginning to learn that protection
does not protect their interests,
but is rather adding to their bur
dens. The abloody shirt" element
can't understand why Malone and
Chalmers should be made saints,
and as the public crib is not large
enough to fatten all, the party
cannot be held together much
longer. by the spoils of public
plumber. Below We give an edi-
Etorial from the Cincinnati En-
quirer Of Sept. 26th on the nomi-
nations in hamilton county:
sThe Hamilton County Demo
cratic Convention, held yesterday,
consumed more than the usual
time in making nominations, but
it did its work well. The dele
gates worked long and hard, but
tthey have their reward in the
good they have done the party
and the people.
| sThe fact that the session Of the
convention was q protracted one
and that there were sharp contests
I over the Offices, is the only refu
tation needed Of the charge of thu
enemy that rings would contrc
the convention, and the States SO
lectcd be speedily put in the form

its extension, will shortly, it Is

through the Big Sandy Valley and

by one the great railroad mag
pates of the country are concen-
strating their forces in the South,
realizing that here is to be the
worlds greatest activity in=rail-
road development, and here is to
be created the most enormous
volume of traffic which has ever
been handled in America, and ul-
timately the greatest handled in
the world, for no imagination can
picture the possibilities Of the

He Knocked the End Out.

Huntington Adyerftser.
The Tanner affair is giving Pres
idcnt Harrison much trouble. Il
scems hard to find man Of any
reputation who is willing to steT
into the corporal's shoes. Major
Warner wis entreated by the
President to take the place, but
after looking into the affairs Of
the vacant Office he declined, and
Is repnted as saying that Tanner
had knocked an end out Of the
pension bureau" and that ''there
is ConemaughV Valley food rush
ing through = To add to the
Presidents annoyance, prominent
men and newspapers Of his own
party are saying many nnkind
things about him, and wish to
hold him entirely responsible for
the Tanner blundcr. 1t is even
limited that the q. A. r.. didn't
want Tanner for Commissioners Of
/ Pensions.
Tho Portland OregonaGn, stall
wart Republican sheet, says:
1.-THE vast majority Of the q. A.
r. knew nothing Of Tanner save
that he was a lcgless veteran with
ringing voice; they did not and
could not be expected to know
that this magniloquent man with
the athletic jaw'was u0r ct pro
eteyeo ,a;tsi. The Presidente erred
ffappoiHti#g a asaan eff notorious
business incapacity to please the
&. A. r., who knew nothing Of
Tanner save that he was q perfer-
vid, popular campfire orator,
which was no more assurance that
he was an able man of business
than was the loss of his legs. Not
to appoint Tanner might have
displeased the G.. A. R., but it was
better policy to displease them ut
the outset than subsequently, to
confess the worthlessnesss of their
endorsement by the removal of
this whooping crane Of petty pol
tics"
The Philadelphia Telegraph,
another Republican journal, gives
this mild dig:
.President Harrison will make
the most serious mistake of his
administration If he fails to per-
ceive, and to act upon the percep-
ton, that it was not the man
Tanner, but the thing Tannerism
against which the universal pro-
test Of the country was made. The
appointment of Tanner was a stu
pendous blundef; the perpetual
ton of Tannerism would be a
monstrous crinin, without pallia-
hon * excuse.
The Epoch, also Republican in
politics, goes for Dr. Harrison
thusly:
"A word OF advice to the Presi-
dent Of the United States: Now
that you have showed Tanner out
of your administration, suppose
you shove little dignity and ca
pacity into it."
The President and The G. 0. p.
appear to be playing il hard luck
this year.

For the first time since prohibition
became a part of the organic law Of
Kansas, the question Of resubmi.sion
was made n direct issue in three coun-
ties, at the last election. In Stdwick
county, in which Wichita is located,
the resubmission ticket carried by ma
~(orities ranging from 200 to 500, wip-
ing out "A prohibition majority of 1000
last year. In LeaveDworth aud
Wyandotte counties the majorities for
resubmission were equally decisive.
There is a deep significance iu this
result. 1t is a vigorous expression OF
popular feeling that prohibition, after
affair trial in two leading cities Of
Kansas has proved a failure. 1t il the
rumbling Of the storm which will
eventually wipe out the republican
majority in the state If the party lead.
ers persist in UNFOLDING prohibition as
a political principle. The lesson OF
lowe will be repeated.
The Kansas law would do credit to a
Russian province. 1t stamped liquor
as a crime equal TO murder, imposed
cruel and unjust punishment on con-
victed yenders, and yet did not sue
coed in SURPRISING the traffic, Dur,
ing the past year the population Of the
state decreased fifty tLousand, taxes
increased, and the licenses issued by
the internal revenue officer show nc
diminution. 1t is an indisputable
fact that property values have fallen
fiat, business is stagnsted, capital
turned away, and the social structure
disrupted by ~ptoftless contentious
The only people who profted by the
enforcement Of the law were the po'
lice and c~Unstsbles, who subsisted on
the fees derived from seizures, and
were thus given an incentive to spy
and prey upon the homes of respect
able people.
The victories gained in Kansas ar,
the beginning of the end. They ar,
the forerunners OF the reaction which
will relegate the liquor traffic to th'
domain Of high license and rigid po'
lee regulation.-Omsha Bee.

twenty yards the tigress bounded out
and brought him back 10 her cubs.
Once more the doomed wretch had
TO defend himself from their playful
attacks. He made renewed efforts TO
regain his freedom, but was seized by
the old tigress and brought back each
time before he had gone many yards.
His groans and cries for help were
h~eartrending, but the men on the tree
were paralyzed with fear and quite
unable TO move. At last the tigress
herself joined in the gambols of the
cubs and the wretched man was
thrown about and tossed over her
head exactly rs many of us have seen
our domestic eats throw rats aud mice
about before beginning to feed on
them.
The mans efforts at escape grew
feebler. For the last time they saw
him try 10 get away on his hands and
knees toward n large fig tree, with the
cubs clinging TO his limbs. This final
attempt was as futile as the rest. The
tigress brought him back once again,
and then held him down under her
fore paws, and deliberately began her
living meal before their eyes.
1t was this formidable beast that the
young Coopers Hill officer and a stu
dent attacked on foot. They were
working up her trail fifteen yards
apart, when suddenly Mr.. OsmaSton
heard his younger companion groan,
and turning round, saw him bound to
the ground by the tigress. Mr.. Os-
maston fortunately succeeded in shoot
ing her through the spine, and a Sec
ond ball stopped her in midspring.
Meantime his companion rolled over
the hill, and was eventually discovered
insensible a few feet away from his
terrible aSSailant. Calcutta Cor. Lon
