The Smart Boys Explanation.

The other day the class in geography
were naming the cities and towns along
the banks Of the Hudson river, and to vary
the monotony the teacher would ask the
scholar whether the place named was on
the east or west bank, and then turning to
another scholar would suddenly ask
whether it was on the right or left hand
side OF the river. The suddenness of the
question confused some of the scholars.
One Of them, girl, was asked whether a
town which was situated on the west side
OF the river was on the right or the left
side. She replied the right For an illus
tration the teacher said, Nov, suppose
this aisle was the Hudson river, what di-
rection would that be2" pointing with her
right hand to the west.
"The right" again replied the scholar.
"She don't know the difference, Miss S."
said the smart boy of the class; "she's left
handed, you know. ."-Buffalo Express

came current among his friends one Of
them, a stanch admirer of the first Mrs.
Lowell and n firm believer in her hus-
bands permanent widowerhOod, took it

OHIO'S REPUBLICANS.
oNE-slDED IS THE WAY THE THING
LOOKS AT CLEVELAND.

Mckinley VIII BE Chosen n Delegate-at-
Large, While Foraker Can Go IL lie
Behaves Himself - Harmony to he
Hustled Into the Convention.
CLEVELAND, April 27.-According to
present indications the adherents of Sen.
ator Sherman will be in full control of
the Republican state convention.
Some Of them who are usually conserva-
tive, as well as well-informed, 20 SO far
as to claim that he will have 500 out of
the 772 delegates entitled to seats. The
friends Of Ex-Governor Foraker are not
saying very much, preferring to await
the arrival of their chieftain, who has
been detained in Cincinnati by some i'm.
portant litigation. They are free in the
expression of the opinion, however. that
until they get decidedly fair show,
there will be music in the air.
Promise of Lively Scramble.
The managers of the Sherman ele-
meDt say that they are for harmony and
conciliation, but at the same time they
claim that as an outcome of the con-
vention they will get majority Of the
state committee, which is now against
them by two or three votes, the perma-
nent organization, all the nominees on
the ticket and three out of the four
delegates to Minneapolis The concilia-
ton is to come in when Governor For
aker is made the fourth delegate-at-
large. This proceeding, however, does
not particularly commend itself TO those
Of the latter's supporters who are among
the advance guard, and they are quietly
serving notice that the fur will fly in
case the delegation TO Minneapolis Is not
evenly divided. AS TO the state com
mittee they are perfectly willing to have
the fight out in the district meetings.
The Way the Thing Looks.
When the convention assemblies this
afternoon Representative Charles p.
Griffin, Of Toledo, who has been desig-
mated as temporary chairman by the
state committee, will deliver his address;
and after the appointment of the usual
committee an adjournment will be
taken until Thursday morning. If as is
piODdDle, UnS OHeTU1uulUeS are III COLI
troll, Governor Mckinley will be the
permanent chairman. Mckinley, State
Chairman Hahn, Ex-Governor Foraker
and M. A. Hanna will be the delegates
st-large. s. M. Taylor will be nomi-
mated for secretary of state; Captain G..
L. Lybarger, of Coshocton, for member
of the board of public public works;
N. II. Hestor for clerk of the supreme
court. Judge Spear, of Warren, will
have no opposition for a denomination
for the supreme bench, but for the Sec
ond nomination there are score of con-
testants.
A Foregone Conclusion.
The platform is certain to be eulo-
CYSTIC in its Endorsement of President
Harrison's administration, but is not
likely to contain instructions. The
presidential question is cutting no figure,
the general sentiment Of both factions
being that Harrison's denomination is
foregone conclusion.
