The State Stranglers.

Mr. George B. Cox, from the back
room of his Cincinnati saloon, is, at the
dictation of Governor Foraker, issuing
orders and setting up the pins for that
Republican county convention. it will
be a Foraker-strangler ticket from top
to bottom, and will be nominated by a
'sstrangler'' convention. George b. Cox
was chairman of the Hamilton County
delegation to the State Convention, and
he and DIR. Graydon managed Foraker's
fight for the nomination.
Cox is the worst political boss and
gangster the city of Cincinnati or the
State has ever known. He is represen-
tative of all that is vicious and vile in
politics He became so offensive that
the good people of Hamilton County re-
volted and overwhelmingly defeated
him last fall for county clerk, when the
balance of the Republican ticket was
elected. Nevertheless he is Governor
Foraker's chief lieutenant and his oil
| inspector for the State. He is the king
of the Cincinnati organization of stran-
glers, which has extended all over Ohio
| in Foraker's interest. The people of Ohio
will rebuke Forakerism and Coxisma

1.-THE CAMPBELLS ARE CON-
ING"
Extract from the Speech of Hon. Vim. d.
Hill.


Extract from the Speech of Hon. VIM. d.
Hill.
Hon. VIM. D. Hill, the bounding ex-
Congressman from the Defiance District,
himself dark horse candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor,
was with Mr.. Campbell at the Henry
County Convention at Napoleon. He
set the delegates wild with the following
rallying call:
But it is Campbel's genuine Democracy
that frightens Governor Foraker and his
followers. They fear the very name Of
Campbell. They have read a little Of
modern history. Perhaps they compare
our defeat of last year to the horrible
massacre at Cawnpore, hence they mock
at US as the dogs which bark at the linn
tied express train, which leaves nothing
but dust behind it. But Cawnpore does
not tell the whole story.
Have you ever heard of the siege Of
Lucknow? Have you read how brave,
courageous soldiers held out for days
and nights, weeks and months against
what seemed certain destruction and
death? 1t was then that the bravest Of
the brave lost all hope, but not their
courage. They continued to fight.
They had their wives and daughters with
them, and they determined to sacrifice
their lives but not their honor.
They had resolved to murder their
own wives and daughters to save them
from a fate far worse than death, a fate
they knew would befall them in the
event of surrender or capture.
1t was then and there, at a time when
| - cd ho ocf nf homo od
| that the eventful dream of Jessie Brown
was realized. The brave Scotch girl had
fallen asleep from exhaustion. She had
been days and weeks supplying soldiers
with coffee and encouragement. AT last
her frail body gave way to sleep so
| profound as to be oblivious to the deep
roar of the cannon and the wild rattle
of the musketry. Even the groans Of
the dying and the CHASTITY faces of the
| dead no longer had terrors for her. But
her delicate sense of hearing, though
deaf to the thunders of artillery, was
| still alive to the national air of her ma
tive highlands. Starting from her
| slumbers, while the battle ragged with
/ all the fury of demons, from within and
| without, a stream of tears flowing from
her eyes, and her pure white arms ex-
tending heavenward in grateful recog-
milton for her deliverance, she sang out
in patriotic tones:
"Aha! aha! dinna ye hear the slogan?
dinna ye hear it? dinna ye hear it?
Courage! courage! help at last! Dinna
We hear the slogan? The Campbells are
coming!''
Aye! the Campbells were coming! The
Campbells got there, and they got there
at the right time.
Democrats of Henry County, the
Campbells are comingl They are sound
ing the Democratic pibroeh, and in No
vember next they will drive the miser-
able Sepoys of bossism and third-termism
from the State-house at Columbus, re-
store home-rule to the cities, and cheer
with brighter hope the friends of good
government everywhere.
Then rally boys, rally, rally for the right,
Victory must be ours, for Campbell leads the
fight

TRAGEDY OF THE SEA.

companions. II had to do IT, he said;

companion gave HIM Christian burial"
If Charles Reade had made this thing,
which actually happened on that lone
island in the tropic seas, one of the
central points in great novel, thous-
ands of readers would have said
"How dramatic! how thrilling and
how Improbable p 1t would scarcely
have occurred to them that It might
really happen, just as strange things
happen every day. The annals of ship
wreck are filled with accounts of the
unreasoning and generally disinterest-
ed dislikes which spring up between
the unfortunate castaways. A man
innocent Of all guile suddenly finds his
life in immediate danger from the un-
restrained passion of one Of his fellows.
Freed from the restraints of law, and
fancying that they may never be re-
turned to a place whore laws will be-
come operative upon them again, men
act out their fierce impulses. The man
who has been shipwrecked on an
island or an inhopsitable coast with
five or six companions in misfortune

the domain of law, that the finest tri-
umph of civilization IL the excepting of
the peace in street and mart and all

The Arenas Key homicide will al

mitted It does not know why the man
whom he killed persisted in assauting
him, or why he had sworn that he
would never allow him 10 leave the

PAYNE's DAUGHTERS.

In an old book written by Wes-
tern Congressman, a contemporary of
Clay and Webster, containing rem'',.
iscences Of his time, story is told>
one of his friends, a farmer In KEN
lucky named Payne, who had six
daughters, none Of whom was blessed
with beauty.
The Congressman knew them in their
homely youth, and when he returned,
few years later, found them all mar
ricd to good, influential men. So
great was his surprise that he yentur-
ed to ask their father why they all had
been so sought when other girls re-
NAMED neglected. The old farmer
chuckled.
Yes, and you may say when they
had neither dover nor good looks.
Well, I'll tell you. When | want my

They are so contrary that they always

Young men to know them had to come

were kept apart from the crowd, they
thought their value must be high.
Young men came to break down the

more in 1t than meets the eye.

The 81. Francis Delta.
[Scinitar.l

For four weeks past an ex-captain Of
the British navy has been perogrlna-
ting the swamps, across the river, ex-
ploring the same after the style of
Stanley Africanus, and while not quite
as far away from civilization as STAN
ley, yet he has gained experience
enough to furnish material from which
to write book.
The captain has been examining the
lands once owned by the projected st.
Louis Railway, of which the late la
mented and much respected Ethel IL.
Porter was president, and who, by the
way, always had his faith and his mon-
ey in that enterprise when others did
not, and the aforesaid captain has al
most closed the deal.
A million or more dollars are in-
yolved in the trade for the tract, cov-
ering something like 100000 acres,
while the price to be paid is s4 per
acre. The retired and wealthy English
sailor has explored the country, to find
that the lands are fully 80 per cent.
better in every way than the sellers
represented.
The timber Is large and moro valna-
BILE, as well as in greater prcfusion
than was expected. The lands are less
subject to overflow by half and are
more accessible by the same percent
age, while the purchasers are much
better satisfied by the same increase
than they expected to be when the in-
vestigation was first set on foot some
time ago. Therefore the deal Is about
agreed upon.
