viii Ohio Be For HarrisonG

A Washington dispatch says
that Secretary Foster declares with
positiveness that Ohio Republicans
will go to Minneapolis with solid
delegation for Harrison.
Secretary Foster is no slouch in
politics, and does not hesitate to
use every means at hand to accom-.
plish his ends, but in this instance,
we are of the opinion that Mr. Sec
retary expresses his wishes rather
than his convictions.
We recall the fact that in the re.
cent Senatorial contest the admin.
istration was active in the interest
of Sherman and opposed to Fora.

THE Cincinnati Post announces
that there is to be meeting in the
near future between the two EX
Cleveland and Campbell, and that
the Ex-Governor is to deliver the
power of the Ohio Democracy at
the Chicago Convention to Cleve-

better examine his title papers and
ascertain that he OaCns the Ohio
Democracy, else he may bite off

If Grover Cleveland is the only
man in the Democratic party that
that is capable and honest enough
to receive the nomination and,sup,
port of the party for President, we
had better abandon our organiza-
tion and try to secure some addi-
tional brains.
If Cleveland alone cons titutes
the party, it is entirely too lone
some for any man with tendency
to think.

The Present VIII he Busy Week in
tho senate and House.
WASHINGTON, March 81. 1T Is probable
that the army appropriation bill will be
called up today In the house, and that It's
consideration will consume the whole day.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
are set apart for the consideration Of the
Bland silver bill. A great many members
desire to speak on the silver question, and
an effort has heen made TO reach an agree
ment between the friends and the oppon-
ents Of free coinage to provide that the de-
bate and consideration Of the bill by para,
graph shall run the whole Of the week.
No unders tanding has yet been reached,
however, AS the silver men want the agree
ment to include stipulation that q vote
shall be taken at the end Of the week with.
out indulgence In filibustering tactics, but
the anti-free coinage Democrats are not ,as a
body, willing TO bind themselves In this
particular. Some Of the opponents of the
bill discourage filibustering. .but others be-
lieve they should use every proper means
within their reach to defeat IL.
In the senate the Indian appropriation
bill is to be taken up today. The West
Virginia direct tax bill IN the special order
for Tuesday, and wheL this bill Is dis
posed Of the senate will consider the Mis-
sissippi river and Columbia river improve
ment bills, involving an aggregate appro-
priation of about $4,000, 600 The most
interesting proceedings of the senate,
however, are expected to occur IN execu-
tive session. The Behring sea arbitration
treaty is pending and action upon it will
doubtless he AIKEN M soon as possible. But
the senate has been much agtated during
el..l fax.. 1.xv q
dition treaty. This precedes the Behring
sea treaty on the calendar of executive
business, and promises TO give rise to
much more discussion. Strong opposition
has developed to that clause of the treaty
which relates To extradtion of persons
charged with capital offenses
II Is understood TO be substantially
similar to other treaties in that respect,
but In view OF the peculiar political cor
ditions existing in Russia. an effort has
been made to secure an amendment OF the
clause. the effect of which would be 10 ex-
cept from extradition persons committing
even murder for political reasons, which
is construed to exempt from extraditio n
Nihilists attempting regicide 1t has been
stated that f so amended the treaty will
be obnoxious TO the Russian government
and incidentally strong arguments were
made to show that it should he ratified as
it stands, IL not from spirit Of comfy. mt
least from international considerations.
II was urged that IL would be foolhardy
for the United States To impair the
strength of the ties Of fricn 'bip and in.
terest which now bind together the United
States aud Russia and thus lose the moral
and perhaps the physical support OF one
Of the first military powers in the world.
