The Campaign in Ohio

Is watched with intense interest by citizens
of all the other States. In the past twenty
two years eleven governors have been
elected In Ohio, of whom the democrats
elected four, The figures show that in each
year when the democratic candidate was
successful there was large falling off in
the aggregate vote. Thus, in 1879, the dem
ocratic candidate was elected by 500 in a
total poll Of 44S, 294 The year preceding
President Grant carried the State by 80,
368, the total vote being 500, 438.
In the presidential election OF 1876
tho republican majority was 1918
in a total vote OF 658, 57S. The following
year the democratic candidate for COVER
nor was chosen by %, $50, tho total vote
being b54, 1857. In 1889 Governor Camp
bell was chosen by 1o,s72 majority in a
total vote of IT'S, SEQ, while In the year
preceding President Harrison had 10, 500
in total of 849.37s. These figures have
much significance at this time, because the
present canvass is an extraordinarily active
one, and everything points to tho casting
| Of a very full vote. The side Issues, o.
course complicats the situation; but intelli
gent observers of both parties are of tn,
opinion that the Farmers ticket will be a
much less formidable factor In the result
than was at one time probable. Tn,
Farmers candidate for governor has givel
up his work on the stump and gone home
and the political interest, as Indicated by
the meetings held, Il largely confined to thu
two great parties. The prohibitionists viii

Campbell. "At the same time" said Mr..
Neal to a correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, at should not be forgotten that
Ohio is a republican State. I base my hopes
OF success on the fact that we are better or
ganized than over before, and the
belief that q large number or re-
publican farmers, to whom the tariff
law is dstasteful, will vote for our candi-
date. There is another element OF I'M
certainty which operates alike on both par
ties, namely, the new election law 1t Is
probable many votes will be lost through
failure to properly mark the ballots
Chairman Hahn of the republican State
committee is confident that Mckinley will
be elected by about 90, 600 majority. Said
he eve will get 20, 900 if we can get our
vote out, and, judging from the enthusiasm
eyerywhere manifested, we have reason to
believe our vote will come out. The cleo
ton law OF course may operate i'll way Il
surprise us. If men have heretofore voted
q certain ticket at the dictation OF their EN-
ployers that practice is made impossible by
the new law. But the new law canno
damage us any more than our opponents
There will be mistakes made and votes los
TO both sides, and, after making allowance
for all probable contingencies, feel confiden
that Mckinley will have not less than IS,
900 majority."

The New IuSpectOr of Finance

AS announced elsewhere, Gov. Page has
appointed Hon. Fred G.. Field of Spring field
inspector of finance to succeed the late H.
O. Greene. The appointment will meet
with general approval. Gov. Page himself
filled The Office for four years and realizes its
great Importance to the people of our State.
In selecting a successor to Dir Greene, Gov.
Page has carried on an extensive cores
pondence with leading bankers, as well
as with many other prominent citizens
of the State and has given much time and
thought to the matter. Mr.. Field is q
thorough Nermonter, and it is safe to say,
heartily agrees with Governor Page that
Vermont loans are most desirable and should
take precedence in the list of savings bank
investments. Mr.. Field has the quailica-
tons OF an efficient inspector.

Population of the World.

People of S tatistical turn of mind will
be interested in book which has just been
issued in Germany by the publishers of the
wel-kuown "Almanach do Gotha.n There
are no less than 2,0 pages of facts and fig
ures relative to this world of ours and tho
compilers claim that no pains have
been spared to make the informa-
ton reliable. They admit, however,
that they have had access to census
returns from but 81 per cent of the hahita-
bic portions of the globe so that there is
something ot guess work in the estimates.
The population Of the world at the present
time is stated at 1,479, 799, 400. 1t is cal

Hirh-priccdH Horse Flesh.

Highwater mark in the price of horsehesn
was reached at the SALE at auction, in New
York last week, of Mr.. Belmont's thorough
bred stud. One hundred and thirty horses
from his stables brought upward Of 5000,
600 under the hammer--an average of S5OOO
apiece. A yearling colt brought $50 600;
and the stallion that sired the colt brought
round 800, 900. The animal for which
this unprecedented price was paid was st.
I}laise, an English stallion eleven years old,
imported six years ago by Mr.. August Bel
mont, who paid $50, 900 for him in England.
Tie highest price paid for horse, before,
was so, 600, at which enormous figure, two
horses, "Ormonde' and "Doncaster, y
changed heuds in England. The highest
previous price paid for stallion in thi:
country was S34, 900. The purchaser of st.
Blaise was Charles Reed, horse breeder OF
Fair Wow, y. j. 1t would seem to be i'm
| possible that single horse should be worth
any such money; but money is plenty with
! the rich horse fanciers of this country, and
when a yearlng colt, of racing stock, brings
| $50 600 under the hammer there is no say.
ing that the owner of the sire of such col
may not get his money back, even at the ex
travagant price paid for him.

The commission appointed to prepare a
plan for rapid transit in New York city
presented a report to the board Of aldermen
last week. The plan provides for an under
ground structure in shallow tunnel with
four tracks on one level. AS the surface
and the air are already pretty well occupied
a tunnel seems to be the only place left.
Whatever objection there may be to an I'M
foreground road will be apprscably dimn-
ished by the commissions inhexible require.
ment that no motive power making COM
bustion in the tunnel necessary shall be-
employed. New Workers are to be con-
graduated in that they seem to be in a fair
way to at last realize their fond hopes In
this direction, and if the road is finally built
without some job being connected with il
the taxpayers will have still more reason t.
rejoice.

The marked increase in tho number Of
students in many American colleges this
year, the increase of their pecuniary re-
sources and the enlargement OF the scope
and range OF the studies pursued in them
afford fresh evidence OF the intellectual de-
velopment of the American people in our
times. Among the recent requests to col
leges, one of $50, 900 to the University of
Vermont by loyal alumnus, Judge Flint
of Iowa. lately deceased, has been announced
by telegraph. 1t will make timely and
valuable addition to the resources Of our

Of the stars. The interesting fact, how

Persons whose business it is to deal with
money matters who have been abroad unite
in saying that the British merchants and
fipauciers have been almost dumbtounded
to find that notwithstanding the heavy ex-
portation of gold from America, it did not
command premium in this country. But
they passed point in July where they could
demand any moro American gold. The
United States liquidated in gold till we
owed Europe nothing, and now the tables
are turned; Europe and Great Britain are
bound to be in our debt for breadstuffs
and, as those countries required US to pay
them in gold, they cannot murmur II the
United States insists upon its obligations
being met in the same manner.
