1t 10 Now the Iri.n Vote Democrats tn
! Peck OF Trouble.
ClSClNNATI, August 4.-The CONNER
ciai Gasette's Columbus correspondent
says:
There ia genuine concern among th,
Democratic leaders over the scarcity o
available men for the nomination TO-
Secretary Of State, soon 10 he made a
Springfield. 1t is already agreed among
them that as a candidate Dan Ryan has
IN invulnerable, record. The Demo
cratic managers also concede that Ryan
will make al aggressive campaign; also
that he is acceptable to all elements ol
the Republican party, and also that he
has personal strength outside OF his
party. For several years past the Ohio
Democracy have been batting their
hooks to catch the Germans, and now
1t is being .realized that while they have
been somewhat succesafalin this direc-
tion the Irish have been ''slumping" oil
quietly-not in droves, but individually,
aud yet in such numbers as to now make
it quite common in every city, town and
village in the State TO find Irish Repub-
licans., True, some return to their old
praty OF prejudice and false pletence,
but the majority OF Irishmen who once
renounce democracy never 60 back to
their old evil political ways. : Ibelieye
that since 1851 more 1rishmeu in Ohio
have left the Democracy, and Joined the
Republican party than Germans have
left the Republican party and gone to
the Democracy.
Those who run the Democratic party
Of this State now realize that the limits

sions. In its ceaseless motion back and
forth the pendulum is swinging in the
other direction from that 10 which the
momentum was given to Hoadly. In
the past Republican politicians have
trembled over the report that the Ger
man vote was in danger. But for several
years keen Democratic observers have
noted increasing disaffection among
their once Observation-Disclosures Irish
Brigade; and this year there is q genu.
inc scare. . lG
And so the word has gone out that the
Irish vote must be conCiliated and held
together for the Democracy by the nom-
ination Of an Iriahman for Secretary OF
State to contest against "Onr Dan." Two
men are being groomed-Bob Blee, of
Cleveland, and Dan Danehy, OF Lancas.
ter. Until recently Bob Blee was con-
nected with the Big Four railroad, and
for some cause or other he is being rep.
resented as martyr to corporate
tyranny, anditis claimed that sympathy
would attract to him q large Republican
railway vote. Rob Biee is now superin-
tendent Of a street railroadin Cleveland.
Dau Danehy's popularity is at.ested by
his leadership among Catholic Knights.
Bob BIee is always spoken Of as "a good

only political record is that OF machine

times run for office and been beaten

Hot Winds pamnro cropa.

sr. PAUL, MlSS., Aug 1.-The hot
weather Of the last week has had a, bad
effect on the crops in Minnesota and
both the Dlkotas. In South Dakota
wheat is almost all harvested. The hot
winds OF two weeks ago did it much
damage, and not as large q proportion as
usual will grade Nos. and 2. The corn
crop may be said to be, with the excep.
ton OF the southern portion OF this
county, almost completely ruined, and
not over l5 to 20 per cent. OF crop is
now in sight. Indications point to a
light yield in North Dakota, except in
the counties bordering on the Red river.
No harvesting will be done before tho
middle OF next week. During the past
days the outlook has changed greatly
for the worse. '-g. i ~

and Williame, the instructors, explained
the object OF teachera' Institutes in a
very brief and able manner. C.J. Higgs
and R. A. Riggs were appointed enroll

werc enrolled. r.- J .
Professor D. J. Williams in the after.
noon gave an interesting and instructive
talk on reading, and WAS followed by
Professor Armstrong on the question OF
teaching civil government in the public
schools. The question was discussed at
length by several members of the insti-
tute. At the close OF it's discussion the
Union district teachers requested the
institute to pass resolution iavoring
civil government charts, and to recon-
mend to the Board OF Education OF
Union district that they purchase such
charts for the district. The resolution
was unanimously carried.
The question Of subscribing for the
two daily papers OF Wheeling and hay.
ing a report Of the Institute proceedings
published in them, was then taken 10
and discussed. 1twas decided 10 obtain
as many subscribers for those papers
during the week as could be obtained.
Twenty-Five subscribers were secured
for each paper. The members OF the
Institute generally thought it wise to
keep posted in the current news OF the
day as we'll as the routine OF textbooks.
But a few Of the teachesr present op.
posed subscribing for the papers.
A number Of teachers were present
from the counties OF Brooke, Ohio and
Wetzel, also from the State OF Ohio.
This institute promises to be the best
ever held in the county, and Marshall
county institutes arc generally above
the average Of those OF the State. a
The teachers OF the public schools OF
