The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1892-06-18

The fact that Harrison has the
popular strength to effect bis re-.
nomination over such able Opposi-
tlon as was shown in Convention,
proves that he will be any thing
but II weak candidate, and the
sooner we, as Democrats, recog-
nize the fact, the better prepared
will we be to meet the emergency.
We cannot afford to Indulge in
sentimentality or hero worship,
but should apply our minds strictly
to the business of selecting II can
didate, as far as possible free from
fractional fights and personal ami
mosities.
In the face of the clamor for
the Cleveland's nomination, let us
inquire what reason exists for it.
Has Mr.. Cleveland any more
strength today than in 'SS, for if he
has not, there can be no doubt that
his third nomination would be the
most foolish thing that could be
done, for in 'SS he not only lost the
vote of Mr.. Harrison'S state, but
that of his own, and with them the
presidency, and not Il few men of
sound Judgment, believe he is
weaker in his own state today than
in 'SS, at all events, the support
which he received from New York
in the convention of 'SS will be
lacking in '92, and to nominate him,
or any other man, because his nom
ination is demanded or favored by
such sterile fields as Ohio, Michi-
gan, Iowa, Wisconsin or Pennsyl-
vania, none of which will give him
an electoral vote is sheer nonsense,
The Democratic nominee must
carry both New York and Indiana
in this year of grace 1892, or Ben
jamin Harrison will succeed him
self.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1892-06-18

WHILE President Harrison may
be admitted to have had u reason
ably successful administration and
to have been personally superior
to attack, it is evident beyond dis
pute that his strength at Minnea-
polls is made up of place holders,
from consul generals down to in
ternal revenue collectors and post
masters. Compare the present
use of the Offices with the declara-
tions in favor of civil service re-
form and the removal of the Offices
from politics made by Gen. Har-
rison four years ago. IF Il man of
Harrison's respectability can be
induced by the lust for prolonged
power to throw aside both family
traditions and his own pledges in
order to bring the full force of pat
ronage to bear for a denomination,
what may not be expected in the
future ifa less scrupulous president,
unhampered either by principles
of his own or those Of a grandfather,
should use the same lever to OBJ
tain, not only a second, but Il
third or fourth term ?-Pittsburg

Ohio Crop Conditions Week Ending
June 13.

june lOs
Over the northern section con-
tinued wet conditions retarded
farm work and corn planting the
crater part of the week, and prov
ed very injurious ov er many
counties to the growing crops on
low lands. Very little corn was put
in, and that in very muddy ground.
Wheat and grass are growing rank
and falling down. Oats are genera.
lly in fair condition. Some Wheat
and oats are turning yellow at
roots on low grounds. Corn al
ready up is getting very Weedy
and needs cultivation. Potatoes
are reported rotting badly. The
fruit is falling off generally and
apples, cherries and pears promise
a very light crop. The week ends
with better conditions and II more
favorable rcport'is anticipated for
the coming week.
Over the middle section wet
conditions during the earlier por-
tions of the week retarded farm
work greatly and rendered the
ground too wet in many Of the
counties to permit farm work of
any amount to be done during the
week. Wheat generally continues
to grow too rank and is lodging in
many counties under the influence
of the heavy rains, hail and wind.
The plant is heading out well.
Oats are growing nicely, and are in
good condition gene rolly. Glover
is reported as falling down and
damaged in a few counties by
heavy rains. The timothy is COM
ing on finely. Grass is growing
nicely and is in fair condition.
Corn is doing fairly well, although
getting pretty weedy and standing
in need of cultivation. Over the
eastern counties q good per cent.
has been plowed over once. Fruit
continues to fall off and the apple
crop promises to be very light.
Cherries are rotting.
Over the southern section heavy
rains on the 7th and 9th, with hail, ,
caused considerable damage to the
growing wheat, and overfowed
bottom lands, causing damage to
all growing crops in number of
the southeastern counties. Gener-
ally the conditions were very fav-
orable, causing all crops to improve
and make great growth. Wheat,
timothy, clover and oats are doing
finely, with clover nearly ready to
cut in few counties and the wheat
is changing color. Wheat is gen
orally pretty rank and has lodged
considerably. The barley harvest
is in full progress in Pike county.
The tobacco plant is being set and
growing well. The corn generally
is looking and doing well, although
weeds are growing pretty rank.
Some cou mites report cultivation
two and three times. Apples con-
tinue to fall off and cherries to
rotten.

Harrison And Reid.

st, Louis Republic.
While Mr.. Harrison is by his
natural limitations one of the men
who are of all Others most danger
Gus when they hold power; while
for this reason he is formidable TO
the Democratic party and to the
country, the Minneapolis ticket is
without doubt the most unpopular
the Republicans could have nomi-
mated. Leaving ont here the dis
cussion Of the official record of in
tense and bigoted partisanship; of
a malignant sectionalism so in
grained as to be a religion with the
man, it is still evident that Mr..
Harrison is personally very weak
as candidate. His self-conscious-
ness is SO overpowering that he
has made no friends; that in all
who have been thrown in contact
with him he has produced a feeling
of repulsion. lie finds supporters
only in the same spirit of cold and
calculating selfishness in which he
seeks them. The campaign en-
thusasm for such man must
come from hired speakers and
brass bands, which do their horn
blowing and drum-beating at so
much an hour.
This personal unpopularity of
the head of the ticket is exagger-
ated in the selection for Vice Pres
ident Of WHITELAw REID, editor
Of the New. York tribune. He
goes well on ticket with Harri-
son--the better because blaine

THERE was considerable supersti-
ton manifested at Minneapolis in
connection with the fact that the
ticket was chosen on Friday. AS
if to throw some light on the mat
ter the indianapolis Sentinel calls
attention to half forgotten chapter
in history, Benjamin Harrison
was nominated for governor Of
Indiana on a Friday in 1876 and
was overwhelmingly defeated. or
course not many Republicans are
really superstitious, but all must
confess that it is IL queer coimci-
dence.

THE temperance plank in the Re
publican platform reads: awe
sympathize with all wise and leg
itimate efforts to lessen and pre-
vent the evils of intemperance and
promote morality!p Does this mean
prohibition, or high license, or
does it merely mean that the Keely
cure is all right?

The Duty of the Chicago Convention

1t is the paramount duty Of the
Chicago Convention to make a tick
ct that will be successful in Novem-
Der.
1t will not do to say or act in ac-
cordance with the idea that the Re
publican ticket is weak and lack
ing in running qualities, for this is
not the case.
Long before November we shall
see every element Of the Republi-
can party in arms doing battle for
the cause Of Harrison and Reid.
Republican nomination fights
are usually wordy affairs, but when
they are over, they like other peo-
pie, accept the result bury their
disIikes and unite for a common
SUCCESS.

Should Not BE Recognized.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The New York correspondent of
the st. Louis Republic in defend
ing the New York May convention
people says "they are not bolters."
If they are not bolters what are
they? IF they allowed the midwinter
convention to be held without
making a protest until long after
it was over. That convention was
regularly called by a full meeting
of the state committee, the caucuses
were held, delegates elected to the
convention, which in turn elected
seventy-two delegates to the naS
tional convention. There is not II
legal flaw in the proceedings from
start to finish.
The time to haye defeated the
purposes of the callers of the mid
winter convention was at the
caucuses and before the conven.
tion, and failing in that the opposi-
ton lost their day in court. 1t is
not now a question Of whether the
calling of the convention so early
was the proper thing to have done,
as the time to question that has
long past. The sO-called Hill del
egates from New York are the
legally elected delegates from that
state and as such will no doubt
take their seats in the national
convention without any serious
question.
The calling of the midwnter
convention was no doubt Il serious
political blunder, but not half as
much blunder as the 3Oth Of May
convention.

Frightened by Jim-J Jams-Netti
Discipline-Police Court.
Anton Bigler seems to be possessed
of that deplorable spirit of ungrateful-
ness. He is old and somewhat infirm
physically. He has been assisted by the
Little Sisters Of the Poor, but the other
day ne broke loose and cursed the sis
ters to the extent of his ability Just be-
cause that sort of a fit took hold of him.
But he was rewarded, for he was ar
rested on a disOrderly charge and placed
in a cell. with Charles =. Guile, who
was booked as plain, harmless drunk.
But Guile soon put some friils OH his
drunk and developed beautiful case of
delirium tremens. AS the snakes began
to get thick about his head his antics
and yeIlS frightened Bigler nearly 10
death, and his pleas for help and for
glveneSS were enough 10 move the heart
of any one. After some time Guile was
taken from the cell and his case was
continued to Oct. % to give him time to
get rid of his jni-jam while Bigler
was given thirty days at the works.
1t looks as though the police were en-
deavoring to do the city the favor OF rid
ding it of Nettie Smith. Nettie runs a
sort of cigar store on Seventh street,
anu Is Salu 10 nave very CROOKED moral
notions. She appeared in the municipal
court yesterday because a certain jani-
tor had caused her arrest on the charge
of stealing $50 from him under peculiar
circumstances. A male friend of Nettie
had recouped the janitOr. and he failed
to appear, SO that Nettie was discharged.
But she did not long breathe the air of
freedom, for Patrolman Frazer gave her
her old bunk at the central station dur
ing the afternoon on a charge of inde-
cent exposure, dating back several days.
William Pottgieser Will know more
about the method 10 be adopted with
balky horses after his thirty days stay
at the works is over. A horse baked
with him the other day, and lie pro-
ceeded to beat it over the head in very
cruel manner. He happened 10 be in
Capt. Lovell's ROndO district. and yes
terday he took a thirty-day ticket for
cruelty to animals. '~ 3
w. j. Woolsey and David Simpson, of
25S Washington street. had Il little diff
ference of opinion the other day. They
didn't submit it to arbitration, as good
citizens should, and yesterday Woolsey
appeared in the municipal court
charged by David with assault and bat
terry. The trial was set for today.

Two More of the Tangled Cases Go
Against Them.
Judge Brill has filed decision in two
others of the noted Bushnell cases. In

pana, as assignee of the BuShnells,
against George IL. Hurd and others it is
ordered that lots 81 and 90 in block 1,
of Summit Park addition be sold sepa-
rately, subject to the mortgage of Chase
