The Coming Elections.

The fall elections take place on
the Sd of November and in many OF
the States the result is in doubt.
Many predictions are being made
but it will not do to bet upon any OF
them. In Ohio it seems probable at
this time that Governor Campbell
may be re elected. The disaffection
in Hamilton county (Cincinnati)
against the Governor is not as great
as it was thought it would be, and it
is expected that he will receive a
large vote in the agricultural coun-
ties. The Republicans claim the
Slate anywhere from ten to twenty
thousand majority. Ohio is u Re
publican State and Mckinley is the
champion of all that is Republican
in politics and if Campbell defeats
him be will have accomplished a
great victory.
In Pennsylvania the Democracy
is confident of electlng their candi-
dates. This result. il accomplished.
will not be strictly n Democratic
victory. but will be an uprising of
the people for honest government
and for an honest administration of
the affairs OF State.
In New York the chances for the
election Of Flower are exceedingly
bright. In Massachusetts the indi.
cations for the re electinn of Gov.
Russell are indeed good. Most OF
the young men of that State have
fallen into the Democratic ranks
and are with Gov. Russell, who has
given the State one of the best ad-
:iistFatipns it ever had.

The Baltic IN Ohio.

Before another issue of this paper
reaches its readers the great politi-
cal battle for supremacy in Ohio
will have been ended. 1t has in
deed been we'll fought battle.
Every inch of ground as it were,
has felt the tread of the campaigner.
SO far as the two leading candidates
are concerned the fight has been
conducted in an honorable and up
right manner, but under what con-
ditions has Gov. Campbell made
this royal race? A Democratic fac
ton in Cincinnati, headed by the
Enquirer, left no stone unturned to
defeat him for the nomination, and
when he so triumphantiy carried
the day, they suIl1ed in their tents,
"put ashes on their head and refused
to be comfortcd" Then again we
are informed that the East is jealous
of Gov. Campbell's popularity and
refuse 20 contribute q farthing
toward the campaign expenses, for
fear the next Democratic President
will come from Ohio. On the other
hand Maj. Mckinley has but to hint
that he is in need of money and the
bloated manufacturers of the coun-
try Immediately respond. And
why shouldn't they? Is he not
their candidatc2 DO they not own
him body and soul? Let him but
swerve one iota from the principles
laid down by these barons and they
will drop him Gas quick as hog
would a hot potato"
Should Mr.. Campbell succeed
himself as Governor, and we verify
believe he will, he will owe it to
tho intelligent laboring men of
Ohio, and not to any ring, clique or
disgruntled newspaper. He has
been indefatigable in his effor in
behalf of the people, and we sim
cerely hope that he will receive the
reward he SO justly Deserves
1t is battle of poverty against
dollars trough hew it how we may"

A Question For Farmers.

Now that the season is approach
ing when the agricultural districts
will find their communication with
the markets sporadically cut off by
the impassability of the country
roads, it will be profitable for them
to ask themselves how much gain
there is for them in the opposition
to improved country roads on the
ground that it involves largely in
creased expenditure
One of the greatest obstacles to
road Improvement consists of the
stubborn idea of the agricultural
classes that it costs more to have
good roads than poor ones. This is
n most curious error. 1t is the case
on the other hand that the money
spent in patching the roads each
summer in way which causes them
10 return to their regular bottom
less condition each winter would, if
applied scientifically for series If
years, supply the country districts
with durable highways on which
their products could be hauled to
market at all seasons.
True, this consummation could
be fastened by increased expendi-
lures, If any sections should adopt
that policy the outlay would be
amply repaid by the Increased
facilities of communication, the saw
ing in horse power and wear of
vehicles and the increased value of
their farms. But the point upon
which it is we'll to have u clear UNI
derstanding is that, with intelligent
direction, an expenditure no greater
than that made necessary now by
the system OF patchwork would
gradually establish substantial and
lasting highways connecting all the
country districts with their most
important markets.
These facts are good ones for
farmers to ponder during the hours
of enforced leisure caused by their
inability to haul products to market.
After they have considered the sub
ject all winter they may in the
spring be qualified to give an intel
ligent answer to the question.
Does the present system, in road
mending pay?
