IL remains the fact, as it was at the Une VI
the State convention, that the Repuohoal isau-
ers of Ohio are working together more n1H
monionsly than ever, each understanding ulSe

before the convention that he did not propose

circumstances that would expose his party 10

IT is the testimony of many welI-inforiheu
observers in Ohio, including some OIL tlio oP

II was rightly said, after the convention that

will be to the end between Republican pfm-
cinles and methods and those OF the Democratic
marty. 1t is claimediby some Free-lrade news
papers that the wool-growerS in Ohio are great
" dissatisfied again, because they get lower
prices for their wool than they did year ago.
and have to pay great deal more Tor the
woollen goods they wear. II the assertion
about their temper is not more truthful than
the assertions about the prices OF wool goods
if deserves no notice. 1t would be in the last
degree difficult for any Democratic paper OF
sneaker in Ohio to find single article OF WOOL
len clothing, of kinds worn by the farmers or
the working people hat commands IN the
slightest degree a higher price than year ago.
On the other hand, published quotations OF a
hundred grades and qualities of wool show that
tne average was substantially the same year
ago that it is now. But this result comes not
withstanding a material decline in the pr1ce OF
wool in other countries, which naturally tends
to depress the price in this country also. Inc
Republicans will take care in Ohio to ventilate
all these facts thoroughly during the canvass,
and it is too early for campaign yarns to escape
refutatiOn.
