- The principal supporter of Gov. For
aker in the convention was George Cox, the
ex-saloonist of murderer's corner Cincinnati.
Cox brought up solid Foraker delegation
from Hamilton county. Cox is Foraker
henchman, and now holds 5000 a-year
Office by appointment from Foraker. Cox
has been twice repudiated by the Republicans
Of Hamilton county, being defeated by big
ihajorities for Clerk of Courts. He is a
sample of the kind of fellows who set up the
nomination for Foraker, to which Fire Alarm
was party, and then try to cram it down the
throats of the people that it was "spontan-
eous uprising"

wThe Signal strained a point terribly
last week for this hot weather when it at
tempted to excuse President Harrison for
nepotism by saying that some of our county
Democratic officials employed relatives in
their offices. The Signal was very careful
though not TO mention Mr.. Russell, the Re-
pu blican County Auditor. But the point is
poorly taken, inasmuch as the parties hold
ing positions under our county officials are
not paid by the county, but whatever they
earn is paid direct from the pockets of the
official himself, while these relatives who
have been given positions under Harrison
all draw their pay out of the national treas
ury! We don't expect the Signal to see the
point, it is too obtuse, but the fact is the
people are about convinced that Harrison is
making family refuge of his high position,
that he is correlling his relationship, from
his second cousins, nephews and uncles, up
to brothers, brothers-in-law and father-in-
law, and pensioning them upon the Govern
ment. He and his relationship will be
shipped back to Indiana when his four year
term is up.

q Since the nomination of Foraker for
a fourth time and third term, the Republi-
can organ of Lake county, the Painsville Ad-
rertiser, does not find much to enthuse over,
and is sick at the stomach. It says:
J. B. Foraker has been re-nom mated for a
third term.
: The nomination wakens no enthusiasm in
this locality and is accepted by the great body
of Republicans under protest.
1t will take the hardest kind of pulling on
the part of working Republicans to bring
him through.
The Republican never has been and is not
a third term party. tt..r.. .. A4
All know, and every man that is not dazed
by the sound of brass and the clash of GYM
balls believes the Republican is not one
man party.
Hence the rank and file to- day are confront
ed by a necessity and not by choice, and
therefore have their labors doubled. ~
Foraker can draw nothing from the oppo-
sition, and it will take herculean work to
hold onto him the full strength of his own
party.
This fact a very few, days will develop.

1t will be thus seen that the receipts from
all sources during Governor Foraker's first
two years administration was 81 ,403, ,328. 10
greater than during the two years of Gov.
Hoadly's administration, and that while the
average yearly receipts of Gov. Hoadly's ad-
ministration was 1924, ,222.O4 the average
yearly receipts of Gov. Foraker's past three
years administration was $5,909, 800. .91-a
yearly average of $685., ,O9S.57 greater than
that of Gov. Hoadly's administration.
In 1888, as appears from the Auditor of
States annual report made in December of
that year, the funded debt of Ohio, which
does not include the irreducible debt, was
$4,522, ,515. That was just before Gov. Hoad-
ly was inaugurated. Two years later, in
1885, just before Gov. Foraker was inaugur
ated, the funded debt of Ohio was $780,
229.19-reduced $S02, ,285.S1 in the two years
of Hoadly's administration, an average re-
duction of four hundred thousand dollars
year. In December last, 1888, after three
years of Gov. Foraker's administration, the
funded debt of Ohio was $3,046,e65- reduced
only $673, ,564.19-an average reduction of
only two hundred thousand dollars year,
notwithstanding the average yearly receipts
under Gov. Foraker were $685., ,098.58 greater
than under Gov. Hoadly's administration.
In the face of these facts we are told that
the financial administration of Gov Foraker
has been ''splendidn'
