He Is Alike Notable for intellectual and Physi- cal Superiority-A Comparatively
 Young Man.

Cincinnati, O., June 7.-Judge Judson Harmon Is the senior member of the firm of Harmon, Colston, Goldsmith and Hoadley, who probably have the most lucrative law practice in Cincinnati He is one of the "young men" of the city, though 49 years of age. He is about s feet inches In height, athletic appear ance and well preserved, though his hair is slightly tinged with gray. In any as- sembly he would attract attention. He is regarded by the bench and bar of Hamilton county as an able and learned man, whose appointment Is taken by all as compliment to the state and bar as well as being fit recognition of the worth of one of the soundest lawyers in the state.
 Personally Judge Harmon is charm ing man. Democratic to the core, he has never had the slightest patience with anything or anybody in the smallest de- gree tainted with '"foppery." Judge

A HEAVY FAILURE.
Woodbridge & Co.,, Importers, Go Down for .
 Quarter of Million.

New York, June 7.-C. L. Woodbridge 6 Co.,, importers of dress trimmings and buttons. failed today with liabilities of from $200,0oO to s250OOo. The assignment was sudden and caused considerable sur prise to the trade.
 MT. Woodbridge said today that the failure was largely due to carrying too large a stock. Banks which hitherto had accorded them accommodation pressed them, fearing that there might be a de- preciation of 30 per cent in the stock of goods on hand at any time. HE said he could not give definite information as to the assets and liabilities, but thought the liabilities would exceed $2OO, ,000 The assets consist of stock and outstanding accounts.

 Winchester, Ky, June 7.-The democrat tc district convention named Green R. Kellar of Nicholasville for railroad com missioner from this district and then turned itself into an anti-silver meeting and buried those who are opposed to the sound money principles of the adminis- tration.
 Cleveland and Carlisle were enthusas- tically ndorsed and General Hardy, the free silver candidate of the party for governor, ws hooted down three times when he attempted to speak. It was a complete reversal of the free silver ac tion of the democratic convention held at Owensboro three weeks ago. The in fiucnce of ex-Governor McCreary was plainly visible in the action of today's convention.

he is for. the coinage of silver at the

to a wide demand for a Democratic
morning paper in Chicago. Owing to
the train of circumstances by which
the Times was absorbed by the
Herald and the combination pur,
chased by II. Fl. Kohlsaat, who di-
verted its policy into new and alien
channels, Chicago has been without
a paper expressive Of the political
sentiments OF a large proportion Of the
citizens.
The Chronicle announces that it
"takes opportunity by the hand" and
''enters an inviting field" 1t pledges
itself to strive for the improvement of
muddled and unscientiflc methods of
taxation, to support the doctrine of
hard and sound money, and to stand
through good and ill report for all
that is best in historic democracy.
Such men as Martin J. Russell and
Horatio w. Seymour, who are at the
head of the papers editorial and
and business management, should in
sure its large success.

The WaterwOrks.

The Sentinel predicted some time
ago that it would be the middle of
July before active work on the water
works could be commenced, and
many thought the paper was crazy,
but the events which are now casting
their shadows before indicate that we
will be well into the dog days before
the work can be begun.
The State Board of Health are now
holding off their decision on the char.
acter Of the water in the test wells
and perhaps will require another test
in different location.
The we'll and location of the pump
ing station must be located before
there can be even an estimate of the
cost or the submission of plan and
specifications for bids. All indica-
tions point to about the middle of
as the time to begin the ac-
tive work.

Senator Brice's Views.

Senator Brice writes in answer to
an inquiry from the Toledo Bee as
follows:-
"From 1869 to 1876 1 opposed in
many district and state conventions in
Ohio resolutions in favor of fat money
and, though often in the minority,
continued the arguments with my
fellow democrats until other issues
took its place.
81 regard the present movement in
favor ofthe free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 as
being equally baseless and impossible
Of any successful outcome.
= 81 am democrat, in favor of the
money of the constitution, gold and
silver maintained at a parity, and,
without international agreement and
the support of the commercial world,
opposed to the passage of law pro-
yiding for the free and uni United coin
age of silver by this country alone.
.As democrat, desirous and hope.
full of the supremacy of the demo-
cratic party in Ohio, am opposed to
the adoption of a free silver plank by
our state convention. We should win
the confidence and respect of the peo-
pie of Ohio by declaring against de-
preciated currency and in favor of
sound money.
'.The assumption that majority of
our party in the state are in favor of
a free silver plank is not borne out by
the letters which 1 have received from
hundreds CT democrats from all parts
of the state. There is a division of
opinion among democrats, and if full
representation of the Ohio democracy
be at the state convention l think we
may hope for wise and conservative
action and declaration.
81 am, Very truly yours,
CALVIN S. BRICE.

THAT STRADDLE.

The Gold syndicate of the world,
with its head in Lombard st London,
and Its tail in Wall St New York, is
busy in American politics at this
time.
The syndicate is a close corpora
ton, strongly organized for the pur.
pose Of bringing this country to the
position in which only gold will be
recognized as a money of ultimate re.
demption.
The syndicate has no politics of its
own, so far as party fealty is con.
cerned, but the better to assure its
success, it acts in and through exist
ing political organizations, and to this
end it has members who pose as
Democrats and others who pose as
Republicans, whose special duty it is
to prevent the clear unequivocal ex-
preston of the will of the people on
this all important subject.
The syndicate recognizes the fact
that if the question was presented to
the people fairly, the result would be
the overwhelming defeat of their
plans, and hence they seek procras-
tination, on this question, by all po-
litical parties ofthe nation, for pro-
erastination means victory.
Recognizing the fact that there is a
division of sentiment among the men, |

Col. TAYLOR, of the Columbus
Call suggests Col. Kilborne, one of
the prominent citizen of Columbus,
as its choice for Governor. Col.
Kilborne is man of elegant ac-
complishment, of lofty character and
sound democracy, fit for any Office
in the gift of the people. Gov.
Campbell gives force to the Calls
suggestion, by saying that Col. Kill
borne is sound on the money ques-
tor, and Col. Kilborne holds that
free and unlimited coinage of silver
is fallacy. The Call, the exponent
of Allen Thurman, is now calling in
concert and in harmony with the
democratic sentiment of Ohio.

that Mckinley is now in an attitude
of utter dependence upon the state
organization for a respectable show
ing in the next Republican national
convention and no further trifing will
be tolerated by the men who domi-
nate that organization. Should the
administration forces attempt further
movement against Foraker, Mr.. Me
Kinley would receive just one ballot
from the Ohio delegation and that
would be about as near a nomination
as he would ever get.
