shortly after the Republican state con-
vention. gave several columns Of ex-
tracts from newspapers of the country
showing the popular approval of Gov
ernor Foraker's nomination and en-
dorsement of the platform. For the in
formation of our readers some are here
given, and should be read by every
voter in this county:

Now listen for o howl all along the
line-a long, loud, lugubrious howl.
Joseph Benson Foraker has been nomi-
mated for third term rs governor Of
Ohio. If there is any name the repeh-
ton of which gives the average Demo-
cratic politician voracious appetite to
'cuss," it is that of Foraker. Get q
half-dozen ordinary Democratic poll
ticians together and say Foraker
five out of six will get up on their
hind legs and perfume the air with sui.
phurous ejaculations. He is the red
rng which never fails to arouse the
angry passions of the Democratic bull,
and when it is fiaunted in his face the
aforesaid bovine promptly proceeds to
paw the ground and below. II it were
left to the Democratic party, Foraker
couldn't be elected to anything. They
wouldn't vote for him. That they don't
like him is an undisputed fact, and will
not be called in question.
They ought to. It is true he is hard
fighter, strikes right out from the
shoulder; but he is not deceitful For
aker is not sneak. It is never neces-
sary to shell the woods to ascertain
whether he is there or not They al-
ways know where to find him. He is q
vigorous, unrelenting and persistent,
but always fair and square fighter
He believes that the Democratic party
is wrong, wrong in the abstract and
wrong in the concrete. He says so in
plain, direct, clear, unmistakable Ian
guage. He is positive man and al-
ways aggressive. If he is knocked
down he gets up again. He is not off
his feet long, and when on his feet he
is always ready for business. He has
confidence in his own vision, in his own
Judgment, and it doesn't take him long
to make up his mind. He has convic-
tions, and when the time comes for him
to act he doesn't permit himself to be
hampered with perplexing and annoy
ing technicalities.
When Charleston was shaken, panic
stricken, devastated by an earthquake,
the authorities at Washington higgled,
cogitated and examined musty old
statutes for authority to do something.
Foraker packed hundreds of tents on
fast freight train and rushed them off
to the stricken city. When the floods
came to Johnstown and carried death
and destruction on their turbid billows,
the terrible news flashed oqer the land,
and in few hours Foraker, the execu-
tive head of the great state Of Ohio. had
q thousand white tents on the spot,
furnishing shelter for the homeless and
protection for the suffering against the
pelting, pitiless storm. Such things as
these have inspired confidence in the
minds of the people, and accounts for
his wonderful popularity.

and feels for the suffering and dis

Mansfield, O., Daily News.
Whether considered as q man, Re
publican, on the chief executive of the
great state Of Ohio, Governor Foraker
fills the bill in every particular. He was
brave soldier, is brilliant lawyer, an
eminent Judge, man of ripe scholar
ship and literary attainments but above
and over all, he is O manly man, with the
courage of his convictions and in his
career as soldier, citizen and governor,
his record is without flaw. He has
served the state with eminent ability, as
governor for two terms, and by the
united voice of the people, although he
was not candidate, he has been called
to serve them in that capacity third
time. And what is more, he will be
chosen by the majority of the people OF
Ohio to again fill the Office which he
has administered SO acceptably.
