Senator German Charges His Defeat to
the Administration.

senator GOrnan declares that PreSl-
dent Cleveland's personal followers
contributed to the success of Lowndes
The administration democra is appear
to be willing to assume the response
bility as another achievement for re-
form. IIerculean efforts were put
forth by Senator German during the
campaign to secure from the president
some expression favora BILE to the Mary
land democratic ticket, but the presi-
dent, who was urged by many influ-
ential democrats in Baltimore to keep
hands off, obeycd the behest and re-
manned passive. There seems to be no
doubt that they expected and desired
the defeat of CORN ans ticket.
Senator German bears up well under
ticket, it is conceded, will weaken his
prestige, it does not affect his personal
fortunes directly. If the legislature
is republican. as now appears from the
returns, Senator Germans colleague,
Gibson, will be succeeded by repub-
lican. The new legislature will not
have to deal with German himself.
The Maryland boss undoubtedly
shifted the approaching storm, for he
retired to his home Tuesday night and
received bulletins there by private
wire. Early in the evening he re-
moved the knob from his door bell,
drew the blinds and paid no heed to
reporters, who vainly pounded at his
door all night long.

Ex-Gov. Campbell Takes a Cheerful View
OF His Defeat.


OF His Defeat.
HAMILTON, O., Nov. when a re-
porter called upon ex-Gov. Campbell
at his home yesterday morning that
gentleman was found in good humor,
accepting his defeat calmly. When
asked what he had to say about the
result, he stated that he was not at
all discouraged. but. on the con-
trary, had reason to, in measure,
feel pretty good. lie said the vote
showed that the democracy of Ohio
was more harmonious than elsewhere;
that the fact that the vote of last year
was exceeded was encouraging; that
the duty of democrats now was to pick
their fiints and get ready to slice of
the balance of the repu blican plurality
next year; that instead of being dis
couraged, every democrat ought to
nerve himself to go at the enemy next
year more vigorously than ever.

UNHAPPY TURKEY,

The Condition OF the Ottomans Under tka
Present Regime Little Hotter Than
That of tho ArmeniAns-The Recent
Change in the Ministry Conducive Of No
Better Feeling In Political and Diplo.
matte Circles.
CoNsrANrINOrLE, Nov. 1.-THE re-
cent change in the ministry here has
not been conducive of any better feel
ing in political and diplomatic circles
In fact the new ministers. generally
speaking. are looked upon askance, as
their regulations give no promise of
any better government than that
hitherto ruling. In fact the members
of the new cabinet are nothing more
than puppets Of the sultan and what
ever he wills will be, without ques-
tioning, law to them.
HALL Rafat Pasha, the new grand
vizier, was formerly minister of the
interior and it is openly charged that
while occupying that position he
fostered the massacre of Chistians.
Abdurrahaman Pasha, minister of
justice, once held the grand vizierate,
but was dismissed on a days notice
for lying. Menduh Pasha, minister of
the interior. is reported to be down
right scoundrel.
There is the strongest feeling here
against the sultan, due, among many
other things, to his choice of minis
tiers. 1t was thought that possibly an
attempt might be made on the life of
his majesty as he went from the pal
ace to the mosque in the ceremony
known as the Selamlik. The usual
large number of guards who keep the
route when the sultan goes to the
mosque to offer his prayers was greatly
strengthened and a close watch was
kept on every side for suspicious char
acters by the police and gendarmes.
There is no doubt that the empire is
passing through one of the most criti-
cal periods that has threatened it for
years. The heir to the throne has no
better policy than the sultan, SO
nothing will be gained by deposing
the latter in favor of the former.
Advices from the interior show that
great destitution is prevailing and
that the suffering from this cause sur
passes that arising from the massa-
cres. A very large number of persons
are homeless and without food and
there is no doubt that the suffering
will increase during the winter. In
several districts a famine is antici-
pated.

To take it down to Milligan

Whereas boysthey chased the festive butterfly
Across the fields, and buded castles in the air
And so they thought, as both were young and

They'd take it down to Milligan
And try it on a dog.
George and John, Keziah Smith, neighbors all
Cyrus Lyle, a critic wondrous wise
And another critic, Laps McCord, profound and

All loved the boys-went down to see them rise
Or fall at Milligan,
When they tried it on a dog.

Each.upon his separate string,
In way that stirred responsive hearts.
