The Ohio Republicans attempt to
straddle the financial question but make
an awkward job Of it. OF course if Nc
Kinlsy is nominated 1t st. Louis the
Ohio idea will be embodied in the plat
form, but il will not fool anybody.-Reno
Journal.
The Ohio ides, Is the SENTINEL under
stands il, is the same rs that adopted by
the National Convention Of the Repub-
lican party at Minneapolis. MIMI, June
9. 1892, and which reads as follows:
1.-THE American people. from tradition
and interest, favor bimesallism. Aud
the Republican party demands the use
Of both gold and silver IS standard
money, with restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by legisla-
tiop, Is will secure the maintenance Of
the parity of values Of the two metals,
90 that the purchasing and debt-paying
power Of the dollar, whether Of silver,
gold or paper. shall be at all times equal.
The interests Of the producers Of the
country, it's farmers and it's workingmen,
demand that every dollar. paper or coin,
issued by the Government. shall be as
good as any other"
This is the famous straddle-plank
which can be made to mean n thing
in New York and another in Nevada. It
recognizes silver ~ standard money, but
by the wording Of the plank the white
metal 10 overwhelmed with necessary
qualifications before becoming such.
However. in . way, il recognizes the use
Of silver AZ money.
Last Fall . State exposition was held
81 Atlanta, Ca, aud was attended per-
sonslly by nearly every prominent Gov
ernor OF the various States, including
Governors Mckinley. Morton, Altgeld
and . number of other dignitaries in the
service of the Government.
Speeches were made by several Of the
gentlemen present, one Of which being by
Mckinley. In expressing his sentiments
regarding silver. he then used language
about as follows: eff the Republican
party at its next National Convention
embodies in its platform q plank in any
way favorable to the recognition Of silver
as money / will refuse to allow my name
TO be presented to the convention" His
remarks were telegraphed in conjunction
with the report Of the general pro-
oeedings. and very little heed was
given them until metropolitan editors
began commenting editorially on them.
Then Mckinley was telegraphed to from
various sections Of the country inquiring
II he had used the words attributed to
him. To all inquiries be neither denied
NOR Endorsed the adverse expressions he
had been accused Of using against silver,
and has been - dumb Is an oyster on
the question ever since.

An uNRuLY SUBSTITUTE.

The little black mule which is seen on
the streets very frequently with children
on his back has attained quite a reputs-
ton among the various east side lodges
during the past few weeks. II is gener-
ally supposed that all candidates ride
the goat" when initiated into secret or
carnations, but ID has been q bad year
for goats, and some Of the lodges have
been in thu habit OF borrowing this mule
instead and giving the candidate a ride
around the hall on it's back.
On one occasion, . few evenings ago. at
n A. p. A. lodge, it is reported, the 10.
itiatory ceremony came to grief. The
candidate had been blindfolded, so it is
related, in the anteroom, and then
brought into the lodgeroom, where he
was mounted on the mule. The guide
was immediately in the rear, while the
mule was being led by one Of the broth
ers. Several others were near at hand on
either side. The procession approached
the chair Of the presiding officer. Sud-
denly the mule stopped and refused to 90
forward. No amount Of pulling and urg'
ing could get him to bulge. Finally, one
Of the brethren told the guide to twist
the mules tail. The guide never had any
experience with twisting mules tails, or
he would have declined to do so, but, be.
ing ignorant of the mule nature to resent
such indignity, he promptly seized the
rather short osudsl sppendage and gave
q twist. The mule was q little surprised,
but, quickly recovering. let fly both feet,
lifting the offender nearly to the ceiling.
The mule plunged forward toward the
chair of the presiding officer with the can.
didste still clinging to the saddle for dear
life. The presiding officer managed to
jump out OF the way. From here the ami.
NAL made for the secretary. who lodged
under the table. His head was now
turned down the hall, and away he went,
over chairs and members. whom he
knocked down in every direction. The
candidate by this time had fallen from
the mules back.
Around and around the mule flew until
the hall was in the widest state Of con.
fusion, everybody trying to catch the
mule, which made several almost success
full efforts to plunge out OF a window into
the street below. Finally, in making q
| turn in one corner OF the hall, the mule
| fell, and q dozen men piled on top Of him
and held him firm. He was taken down
stairs by one Of the brothers who led him
home. After order was restored the can
didate was permitted to sign the consti-
tuition and become q member without fur
ther ceremonies.
A motion was passed to the effect thai
any member d~ivulging the unhappy event
OF the evening should be expelled from
the lodge without u But most
Of the members are married and told Their
wives. Then the secret leaked out. All
other lodges having occasion to use the
mule will be careful not to twist his tail
at any time during the ceremonies

SAYS three lawsuits have been brought
in that county 1.-The social or i'm.
moral relations charged by the wife Of
Henry Lichtenhahn to be existing be-
tween her husband and Mrs. Susan
McGee, causing divorce proceedings
to be instituted by Mrs. Lichtenhahn
against her husband; secondly the
criminal proceedings commenced
against the lascivious and ill-guided
Henry, charging him with commit
ting adultery with Mrs. MCGEE. The
third and last cause OF this neighbour
hood racket is based upon the 5000
damage suit, filed by Anna Lichten-
hahn against Mrs. McGee' claiming
judgment against her in the sum
named for alternating the love and
affection of her husband
