Tng COLLAPSE.

Suddenly there was a collapse. SO,
complete was it that it came as a crush-
ing blow to the two chief boomers
McGraw aud ohley, who, as / have
said. were in tho move in perfect good
faith. Tho collapse was due to the sud-
den Indifference assumed by Senator
Camden and other, whose backing had
been depended upon. Those who had
been persuaded by them to assume the
no easy task Of pushing the plans to
successful finish found that they had
been left in the lurch. They were prac-
tically alone.
Eastman sinexperienceas politician
did not impress itself tavorably on the
Camden crowd, and they began to think
that they had made a mistake They
were fearful that Easthain's strength
was being drawn more largely from
MacCorkle than from Bennett, and that
after all the movement would fail in the
very purpose for which IL was started
the defeat Of Bennett. Poor Eastman
was in effect forsaken by the men who
owed 1t to him to keep faith, and the
MacCorkle boom increased accordingly.
So far as Eastman could be used 10
defeat Bennett, all right; but it be-
hooved the schemers just then TO pay
more attention to the MacC Corkle boom.

When the convention met there
were but the two lieutenants, Mctraw
end Ohley, and their Immediate friends,
besides some staunch men whobelieved
in o farmer candidate, such as Hon. B.
I. Martin, Colonel O. L. smith and
others, who remained faithful to the
fight. They had two weeks previously
lost hope, but they had pledged then1-
selves to Mr.. Eastman, and on the day
OF the convention, with only 1875 or lao
votes in sight, they resolved not to de-
sert him as the others had done, but TO
go down with him aud with colors
flying. At their own expense
the managers established Eastman
headquarters and began work, in the
hope that some complication might
arise which would yield them victory.
They rallied their following, and the
friends OF the farmer candidate who
was to be slaughtered because Of the me-
glect Of those who persuaded him into
the canvass, stood as a solid phalanx
from that on to the end Of the conven.
ition.
There was to be no surrender for
them. They could not nominate their
their forces We'll in hand they could
break the MacCorkle slate by combina-
tions. This they did. The slate was
broken-shattered into fragments. Mac
Corkle not being able to pull 1t through.
The deal with the Garden men had
boon fatal to the 8late. It cracked II in
one or two directions; but the Eastman
strength broke 1t up into small bits
and scattered the pieces.

salted almonds, a kind of gelatine boiled eggs,
Chinese bread, and rice. We could eat this food

We had saucers for plates, each one helping
themselves with their chopsticks. As yet we are
not skillful in the use of these. The Chinese
handle them very gracefully. but we are most
awkward, often getting our mouth ready for
the mOrsel which is missing when the chopstick
reaches it.

The Senatorial contest between Sherman and
Faraker was settled last wednesday at the Re-
publican caucus held in the House of Repre-

Cling. wiggling Foraker performed all sorts OF
political antics to the delight of his loud mouth
ed boomers, and although he and they claimed
with impudent assurance the entire Ohio per-
Eion OF the world, Senator Sherman came of
easily the winner. The vote stood SO to 3s with
one for Mckinley and Foster respectively.
While we regret the necessity of seeing Re-
publican go to the Senate from Ohio, we are of

10y through which the canals pass.
Before the people or the legislature can act
upon this important question with intelligence
and with due regard to interests Of the state,
1t Is manifest that they should be in possession
of more information than is now at hand.
1t is therefore recommended that, in addition
to making the usual appropriations for the
canals, the legislature create a body, with en-
gineering, legal and business qualifications, to
make complete report as to the canals Of Ohio
giving their origin, the rights of the state as
to title, their cost, their earnings in the past
and present, their value as franchises for rail-
road or other purposes as nearly as can be es-
timated and particularly as to the possibility
and advisability of improving them and increas-
ing their usefulness to the people
Already there is in existence body, which, IL
is suggested, could with propriety be intrusted
with this important wofk-the canal commits
