IN A ouANpARY.

The leaders of the Republican party
of Ohio are all at sea over the plan Of
campaign. They have gone far enough
to know that the tariff is alosing issue
for them, and that MCKINLEY has de-
veloped into a large and beautiful white
elephant on the hands of his party.
Secretary FOSTER, who is running the
Ohio campaign from Washington, has
called halt on the tariff issue. He and
the Republican editors OF the State have
got together to force MCKINLEY and his
obnoxious tariff to the rear and silver to
the front, which the more outSpoken
silver plank in the Democratic platform
gives them an opportunity of doing,
although practically there is no differ
ence between the two silver planks.
Consequently, MCKINLEY, who is de-
scribed by his managers as "baby in
politics" was forced, against his will.
to go through three-fourths of his open
ing speech in an aimless talk on the sill
yer question and to confne his pet
measure to a few general remarks at
the tail end.
Secretary FOSTER and the Republican
editors of Ohio have come to the conclu-
sion that the farmers of Ohio won't
stand the Mckinley tariff. They have
discovered this since the nomination OF
else that apostle of extreme
high tariff taxation would have stood
little show in the convention through
which he went with such magnificent
whirl. Their folly, of which, however,
they were duly warned in advance by
older heads, has now become apparent
to them. But MCKINLEY is the nomi
nee, was nominated because he was the
author of the Mckinley bill and the
chief representative Of the high tariff,
and it will puzzle the leaders to put him
and the chief plank in their platform
to one side and take up silver, which is
not party issue. Their bold attempt
to do this, however, shows which way
the Ohio wind is blowing strong. 1t is
not filling MCKINLEY's sails.

Special Correspondence Of the REGISTER.
GAINESVILLE, August 9s.-The young
man arrested here yesterday as being
crazy seems to be named John Coad.
and it is thought he Is an escaped in
mate Of the Dixmont Asylum, as he
talks considerable about that place.
Just what to do with him the officials
here do not know, but it is probable he
will be given over to the Probate Judge.
A small burglary was committed here
night before last by thieves breaking
into the dwelling house of Sam Ben
netts on Main street. Considerable
household goods were taken, but the
loss will not amount to much. As yet
no arrests have been made.
Two infant children. one the daugh-
ter of VIM. johnson and one the daugh-
ter of Thos. McGill, both living south
of town, were badly scalded yesterday.
They were both about 4 years old and
it is not thought they will recover.

WHOSE IS IT?

Ex-senator BLAIR, the would-be-Min-
lister to China, has written letter to the
Washington Post, in which he lays claim
to the reciprocity plan embodied in the
Mckinley bill. He says that in the SEN
ate he brought forward the plan on
February 20, 1883, as an amendment to
the tariff act Of 1888; but 1t was rejected
at that time. He adds:
"Your Chicago contemporary says that
no one is contesting for the honor OF the
Blair amendment although others are
for that of the first conception OF the idea
of reciprocity. Why not let me have 1t my
self. theni Perhaps, however, it may be
thought that l am getting more than be-
longs 10 me NOWADAYS. The brains OF the
American people are not all in any one
head, nor even in any two heads-not even
the two great men mentioned in the article
of the Chicago paper, President Harrison
and Secretary Blaine, although they have
their full share, and perhaps rather more"
But justice calls for the assertion
that Mr.. FRELINGHUYsEN, Secretary of
State under President ARTHUR, was
ahead OF Mr.. BLAIR and Mr., BLAINE
in pressing upon the attention of Con-
gress the arguments, the plans, and the
propositions recently brought forward
by Mr.. BLAINE. But at the time Sec
rotary FRELINGHUYsEN was advocating
reciprocity Mr.. BLAINE was opposed to
it. There is no doubt, however, that
BLAIR was nearly ten years ahead of
Mr.. BLAINE in reciprocity thimblerig-
ging.

ACCORDING TO the Birmingham, Ala,
NelCs a 'nice-loOking, well-dreSsed white
woman, named Mrs. NEWTON" has just
been sent to the changing at Coalburg.
She was convicted of assault and bat
terry and sentenced to pay fine Of $500
and serve a term of 40 days. Mrs.
NEWTON and her husband are worth
about six thousand dollars. Her story
is that the Alabama Midland sought a
right Of way through her property on
the outskirts Of Montgomery and had
the land condemned for stipulated
amount. The full sum was not paid,
but the railway company sent negro
laborers to grade the road, and Mrs.
NEWTON fired at them with a shotgun.
Nobody was hurt, but the company
prosecuted the woman, with the above
result. One hundred and forty days in
a chain gang is about as severe as SEN
tence Of death TO a woman such as Mrs.
NEWTON is described to be. 1t might

the bandage were removed from the
eyes of those who guide her.

THERE is no country in the world"
says an English correspondent in the
New York Recorder, ''where one gets as
much comfort for ones money as in
England. A furnished seaside cottage
may be had for 10 shillings a week, and
a guinea a week in lodgings means a
large bedroom and larger sitting-room
for two persons, with fire, lights, at
tendance, and cooking" This is re-
markable confession to be made by an
ardent Republican paper. The Repub-
lican theory is that living is no cheaper
i'm Free Trade England than in the Nc
Kinlevized United States.

have been named. If under these circum-
stances, in Republican State OF 1900
majority on q national issue, Campbell
should win, it would make him formld-
