The most interesting political event Of
this week is likely to be the state conven-
tion of the Ohio Democracy, in which the
Thurman forces and the Brice forces will
lock horns for supremacy. Last year
Thurman practically ran the convention,
and had the pleasure of denouncing Brice
as a traitor to the party amid applause.
Brice was then opposing the tariff policy
of the administration. This year Brice
Is on the administration side, being an
opponent of free silver, while Thurman
is the champion of free coinage. Thur
mans candidate for governor is John H
Thomas, while Brice will be satisfied with
either Ex-Governor Campbell, Congress
man Sorg, Tom johnson or John A. Nc
Mahon. There is sure to be a very bitter
fight, and the result is in doubt; though
the Office holders will probably help Brice
out, now that he is on the administra-
tion's side on the currency controversy.

The Republicans of Maryland believe
that they are going to win in that State
this fall; and judging from some remarks
of the Baltimore Sun, the leading Demo
cratic journal of the State, there are
Democrats who will not be sorry if they
do The Sun says: "The Republican
ticket is good on personally, and the
platform is also good one. Platforms,
as Mr. German has taught us, are not al
ways considered binding after victory
has been achieved, but it is at least safe
to say that if the Republican nominees
live up to the pledges made in their plat
form. particularly those in regard to re-
assessment and civil service reform, the
interests of the state will not suffer by
their election. -

A despatch from Quebec makes the
surprising statement that the French
Canadians are thinking Of appealing to
the United States to use its influence
with England to get separate schools for
the Roman Catholics ins.Manitoba. The
originator of the plan is said to be Mr..
Valin, formerly member of the American
Congress from Louisiana. He interprets
the treaty of Paris of 1868 as the Magma
Charta of the French Canadian people,
and argues that by the treaty concluded
between France and the American Con-
gress at the outbreak of the American
war the former ceded all its rights in
America to the United States, and that
therefore the United-States stands in the
place of France in all that concerns the
execution of the treaty of 1868. He con-
tends that if ever the French Canadians
believe it their duty to appeal to foreign
government to have this treaty respected,
it is to the government at Washington
rather than to that at Paris that they
should address themselves. The French
Canadian claim that the descendants of
the French colonists should not be left
without protectors when England violates
the conditions of the treaty Of 1853 This
is ingenious, but if the Roman Catholics
of Manitoba never get their separate
schools until the United States interfereE
they will always be without them. The
United States is not likely to be guilty
of the Inconsistency of asking England
to compel the adoption of a policy il

it's own people are unalterably opposed to-

MONDAY, AUGUST 19.

Mr. Cleveland's S law officer has decided
that Mr.. Ransom, who has been serving
the United States as minister to Mexico
for some months past was ineligible when
appointed, and therefore has not been
legally m mister at all. 1t would have
been much better if Mr. Cleveland had
consulted his law officer before he made
the appointment.

Senator Chandler has publicly said over
and over again that he was a sincere sup
porter Of Mr.. Reed. MIR. Chandler may
have failings, but duplicity is not one of
them. All through his political career he
has been outspoken in his views about
men and things. 1T he opposed a man
everybody knew it. 1t is not in his nature
to propose friendship that he does not
feel. Therefore denial of the story
which certain parties are circulating to
the effect that his support of Mr.. Reed is
not sincere was entirely unnecessary to
eonvice anybody who knows Mr.. Chand-
Ter of its falsity. But from fear, no
doubt, that the continual iteration of the
story might make an impression among
people who do not stop to weigh the in
trinsie probabilities or improbabilities of
what they see in print, Mr.. Chandler has
taken pains to give an unqualified and
explicit denial "That story, he says,
with all the othec recent similar stories,
has been put forth from motive I'M
friendly to me. I stared long ago that ]
was sincere supporter of Mr.. Reed for

nomination. All attempts to create the
impression that / have any plan in re-
serve in connection with this subject are
inventions of mischief makers. This
statement of mine covers the whole
ground, although presume newspaper
writer's for want of better summer matter
to furnish will continue to pursue their
speeulations. My exact views on this sub
ject are well known to my immediate
friends, and do not care to be inter,
viewed any further thereon,
After this declaration the further
circulation of the story will obviously
be malicious, and with dishonest pur-
pose.

The paucity of material in the Demo-
cratic party to make Presidents OF
really accounts for the favor with
which the mention of Cleveland for a
third term is received by the rank and file
of the Democratic party. The party is
not very much in love with him, yet
when it looks round for candidates it
finds such a lack of men with proper
qualifications that it is inclined to fall
back upon Cleveland as about the only
man in the ranks that enjoys enough
public confidence to avert complete rout.

wanted them pardoned, or because it was
possible to argue that there was some
doubt as to their guilt, there would be q
general state prison delivery TO be sure
no restrictions are put by law on the
pardonlng power, and it is undoubtedly
within the power of the council to pardon
from mere caprice. But council that
should do that would soon find itself in
very bad odor with the people. Good
reasons must be present to authorize the
exercise of the pardoning power 1t must
clearly appear that there is grave doubt
OF the correctness of the jury's verdict
or it must be shown that the penalty i'm
posed was excessive, to justify the pardon
of criminal in good health before his
sentence expires. ssIn the Stain and Crom-
nell case neither of these things has been
shown. There was presented to the
council no more evidence tending to
establish the innocence of these men than
Was submitted to the jury, and certain
ly if their guilt was clear the
sentence was none too severe. There are
very few cases in which it is not possible
for an ingenious man to suggest doubt,
but after man has been duly convicted
and the court has been able to discover
no errors in the trial, the council should
let it alone, unless some new evidence has
been discovered which puts different
face upon the case. We have no doubt
that this will be the conclusion of the
council in the Stain and Cromwell case
indeed we do not believe that the appli-
cants for pardon ever had the remotest
idea that their petition would be granted.
