In A VERY clever article published
in the Philadelphia Record Washing
Con correspondent cites certain facts
which lead one TO believe that Mr.,
Cleveland can and will be nominated
for the Presidency. The power Of
Senators Hill and German, is, at this
time, very great, as they have shown
the ability to carry their own States
against all comers.
Both these men are now in the
Senate and are working together.
Neither Hill nor German is a candi-
date, but they are in position to die
tate, to a certain extent, TO those other
members of the party who have here
tofore had things their own way. By
a recognition, on Mr.. Cleveland's part.
of the value Of the work of these Sena-
tors bis nomination would be assured.
There can be no doubt Of the fact that
Cleveland stands to-day far above any
other man in the estimation of the peo-
pie.
He represents all the popular reform
ideas which have sprung up among the
thinking people of the country during
the last few years and his manly and
unfinching performance of duty has
secured for him the greatest respect,
even from his enemies. The recent
political changes in many of the larger
States are but another evidence Of the
fact that the ideas advanced by Mr..
Cleveland have borne fruit.
In the theories advanced by him lie
the substance and the foundation OF
every reform which is necessary to the
welfare of the nation. He is fearless
and untiring in the discharge Of what
: he conceives to be his duty and now,
after his experience during a success
full administration he will better under
stand the political signi6can ce of bis
acts. He understands the various
questions now agitating the people and
is better equipped for the Presidency
than any other man in the country.

THE heaviest modern ordnance is
the English 100 ton gun. Its charge
is $50 pounds of gunpowder and the
steel shot weighs 1900 pounds. At

trated entirely through compressed
armor (steel-faced irony 20 inches
thick, through iron backing 5 inches

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be i'm
curable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies. and by
constantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore

THE EFFICIENT work Of State De.
tectiyes McVey and Witsil in solving
the Noah Benson murder mystery at
Delaware City, is deserving of the
highest praise. The detectives had
practically no clues whatever upon
which to work, but they deftly con-
nected circumstantial links and now it
is believed the actual murderers, or

THE SENATORIAL contest in Ohio
between Senator Sherman and ex-Gov-
ernor Foraker is good evidence of the
fact that the time has come when men
of principle and men who believe in
honesty even in politics must take an
active part in all political contests.
Senator Sherman is not free from
fault, but be is as far superior in every
way to the lout who opposes him as he
is to any other member of that class of
men who have barely escaped incarcer-
alton because of their political |" pull. !"
Foraker is one of that class of politi-
clans who are in politics for what
thereis in it. He. with blocks of
five ''sDudley, Senator Quay and one
or two other politicians who !" let none
escape . made the election of Harrison
possible.
AS Governor Of Ohio he was con-
cerned in rascality of the deepest dye
and his whole political life has been
one continued disgrace to himself and
to his party. This man, encouraged
by the success Of like men, using SINH
lar means, aspires to a seat in the
Senate Of the United States, to the ex-
alted position of Senator from one of
the great States of the Union. Is it
any wonder that decent people all over
the country are leaving the rarty
which has drifted under the control of
such men as Foraker, into pitiable de-
pravity? i9s
The substitution of rascally or unfit
men for those who are honorable and
respectable is the beginning Of the end.
No government has been able to with
stand such a strain. The politicians
seem to forget that when the people
have been robbed and misrepresented
that they viii turn from their pursuits
long enough to deal out justice to un-
faithful public servants, The people
of Ohio are being disgraced before the
world by the support given Foraker by
members Of their Legislature.

The New Railroad.

Mr.. EDIToR While wishing to be
understood as in no sense an opponent
of the contemplated o. & NJ. r. R.,
yet I cannot but think that, from
an Odessa standpoint, the obstruction
of the public road between there and
Middletown would injure the business
of that town much more. than the
building of the r. r. as now contem-
plated would likely benefit. 1t is use
less to say that horses would soon be-
come acquainted with and fearless of
cars running on driving road. OBJ
servation and experience, with country
horses at least, are against the theory.
A horse, while sensible, is also an
unreasoning animal. and though he
may soon learn that cars on another
road, and, to his understanding, con-
fined there by fence or hedge are not
going to hurt him, the case is different
when he and the cars are using the
same roadway. In proof of this, how
many horses g fearless Of cars Y will
face traction engine while moving,
and at a low rate of speed, and of these
how many would do 80 If the "trac-
tion . was running II, Is or 20 miles
an hour.
Build the r. R. by all means, but
why on public highwayp The O.
& N. r. r. Co. already have located
line across the country between the
designated points, the right Of way
secured by free gift in some cases,
nominal damages in others, and where
Commissioners were called in in no
instance could the award be consider
ed high excepting, possibly, one or two
lots. The only reason fora change of
route the writer has ever heard sug-
gested was one of cost, and yet the r.
r. Company would hardly be willing
to grant that they wish to appropriate
public PROPERTY for private use without
compensation and thus compel the
county to the expense of opening
another public road, but that or the
permanent injury to travel must re-
suit. A good and unobstructed drive
road between Odessa and Middletown
is and will be one of the necessities of
travel. FARMER.

publican. He is man of character,
ability and experience in public affairs.

flower state has attained through the
efficient services of his honored and
