1891. During his fall number of lots
were sold but not until this year was
anything done towards bringing the

which Mr.. Horton has met is something
remarkable. He says that when the plat
was opened he thought II was going TO
take three years to do what has been done
this past season.
The Arnold Farm Plat is very nicely
located and Is easv of access by the line

Evening journal., 1892-01-07

The election Of Foraker to the Senate
is one iniquity which the Republican
party had not done when it had the op-
portunity. This is not because Of the
virtue Of the Republicans Of Ohio, but
because the combinations Sherman was
able to make were too strong for the man
who has no official influence. Senator
sherman is not popular, and the
Ohio Republicans do not recognize
his ability as any greater than that Of
FOraker-they decided, All things con
sidered, that Sherman could govern the
spells distribution to satisfy their personal
ambitions better than Foraker. They did
not revolt at the insolent demagogy and
the tricky knavishness Of the man who
earn los varied collection Of snubs, pro
notes forgery, and howls for the safety
Of the old flag, as his politica. stock in
trade. They simply accepted what they
conceived to be a more advantageous
bargain.
