w may Zo.-OuiO ptdtO
tion aud the effect of the farmers move
ment there is the great topic of discussion
here tonight. 1t is realized that its results
will largely influence the election OF 1892.
Representative Cooper of Ohio. who is at the
Ebbitt House, was asked to-day about the
third party movement in Ohio. II have no
doubt that there will be a third party or
gaDzed in the State and that they will put
full ticket in the field. What it will re-
suit in no one knows. The movement is very
attractive to our agriculturists and you can
not tell how many of them will be captured
by it."
DO you think the movement is impOr-
tant enough to make the result of the elec-
tiOn doubtful? ?"
Yes. If there was no third d-party move
ment tine re would be no doubt about Nc
Kinley's election by large majority. The
third-party movement puts an element OF
doubt into the question. In strong Demo-
cratic districts the Democrats will be the
ones to suffer the most loss by reasOn of the
movement, and in Republican districts the
Republicans will De the principal losers.
What the thing will sum up in the aggre-
gate is doubtful" Cooper said that he had
no doubt that the Democrats would re-
nominate Campbell, notwithstanding the
determined opposition TO him in his party.
THE FIRST DEFEAT.
A Columbus special to the Star says:
The defeat Of the third party project by the
Ohio Farmers Union last night was alto
ge:her unexpected, and can be only attrib-
Ited TO the active work of Colonel j. I'll.
Brigham, the National Master of the
grange, and the other leaders of the opp0si-
tion. The vote on the resolution calling for
an independent convention to nominate a
State ticket stood GA noes to 63 ayes, and
perhaps no one was more surprised at this
result than the leaders Of the movement
against independent action. This decision
of the Farmers Union to seek the accom-
p lishment of their reforms through the old
parties by no means takes the Ohio farmer
out of politics. Ii is applied TO the State at
large. 1t is st!ll probable that many OF the
counties, and perhaps some OF the Senate
rial districts, may nominate farmers
ticket. Even when the farmers indorse
the old party candidates it will, in many in
stances, be upon a pledge from the candi-
date 10 pursue a course agreeable to the
farmers. There will be a determined effort
among the agricultural classes 10 defeat
LIle Te-elpctlOn OF CSUAlOE CutIlDHIl, anu LO
that end no effort will be spared 10 capture
the balance of power in the Legislature.
CENSUS OF REFORMAToRIEs.
The census bulletin ON juvenile reforma-
tories shows that in the California Reform
School there is a total of 206 inmates, in
Guiding a Chinese hoy. This is ratio of
Ill. Rh ode Island shows a ratio OF 7S1 on
her population. In California there is a
decrease of 20 inmates since 1880. The
ratio in one New England State is less than
219. while in several IL is over 900. This
speaks we'll for California's Juvenile pOpula-
tiOn. The percentage Of female inmates in
the reformatories of the United States is
somewhat larger than ten years ago 1t was
1922 ten years ago and now is 2.o0 per
cent There are nearly five times as many
girls in refOrmatOrieS as there are women
in the peDitentiaries. OF ninety girls in the
California reformatory fifty are of foreign
parentage in whUe or in part.
