ONO. KENTUCKY, MARYLAND


Washington Special; Reports re-
ceiyed here by prominent Ohio Re
pnblicans indicate that all The
talk about good Democratic prospects In
Ohio is sound and fury, meaning moth
ing. 1t is probable that Ohio will give
upwards Of 5000 Republican majority.
1t is known, however, that Seuat OF
Brice ls busily engaged through BIS
agents In making strong efforts TO Brit &
about the election offs Democratic ltg
islature to secure his re- election to he
senate. This fact is being made az
parent by the Republicans in every
legislative district aud there can be no
doubt that Brlce's successor will be a
Republican aud that Governor For
aker Is the coming man.
Kentucky Democrats concede the
election Of the Republican guberDator
ial ticket this year and every effort II
being made to cave the legislature 10
order to elect a Democrat to succeed
Senator Joe Blackburn. There are
nineteen hold over senators In the
Kentucky legislature, fourteen OF
whom are Democrats 1t may be
difficult for the Republicans to over
come this vantage, but they are work
ing hard TO carry the entire Repubicsu II
ticket, including legislative candidates.
They will succeed in the cities but
may fail in the back districts, where
the ignorant people are still voting for
Jackson aud shouting for
Thomas Jefferson, whom they believe
10 be yet alive.
Maryland is going Republican this
year. Senator German, the greatest of
Democratic leaders and one of the best
men In the senate, is being subjected
10 terrific assault by his enemies, aud
he Democrats of Maryland are fight
ng each other like Kilkenny cats.
Under these circumstances the Demo
ratio state Of Maryland is going Re
publican. Besides with the Democratic
party divided there is 10 show for
registration in Baltimore
At least 10000 frauduently registered
1oters will be eliminated from the
Baltimore lists this year; and that is a
lead loss Of 10000 votes which have !
heretofore been counted for the Demo.
,ratlc candidates. It looks like 8
rood Republican year, for the entire
country, and presages the splendid
'ictory which will be won in the

PROM rHE PENSION orr1cr.

Commissioner Lochren, Of the pen.
sion Office, in his annual report, makes
several pointed suggestions. Under
the head Of "Patrlotism and Pensions"
he says;
"Those men who enlisted early and
fought the battles Of the war were not
moved by mercenary considerations,
and unless actually disabled, did not
show the haste In applying for pensions
manifested by those who enlisted
nearer the close of the war for large
bounties and did little actual service,
and who are now the nolsiest in clam
oring for souie pensions. As compared
with this latter class, ihe real soldiers
have been modest In presenting claims
for pensions"
The com mmlssioner saws that many
and incompetent men are
engaged ss pension attorneys, and he
sugges Is that none but reputable men
be allowed TO practice In pension cases.
Dishonest attorneys had given much
trouble by systematic criminal and
fraudulent practices. Pension pay
inents, the Commissioner says, bring
large amounts Of money into communi.
ties, and the fear that the conviction
Of these attorneys would lessen the iu-
lux of money has shaped itself In pop
1Isr rancor against the special exam
ners. whose seinvestigatioDs have secured
The conviction of criminals. The |
special examinations division will not
'equire rs much money as In the past,
or the reason that the vigorous pro-
ecItion of frauds and crimes has dls-
'Ouraged and measurably stopped
rauds.
The death of many witnesses and the
ge OF claimants have made IL quite
iiiicult in many cases lately to obtain
roof sufficient for the granting of pen
ions.
The commissioner recommends that
ome provision be made for the main
enance Of deserving clerks In his
