car with decent people. 1t is also true
that the conductor thought at the time,
and we are informed still thinks, Mr..
Dorr was the party, and it is here that
the mistake occurs which does our
Congressman such injustice. The man
guilty of this disgraceful act was not
Mr.. Dorr himself, but friend OF his
to whom he had loaned his railroad
pass, and who by representing himself
to be the party to whom the pass was
issued. subjected Mr.. Dorr to this I'M
Just suspicion. This, we understand,
is Mr.. DORIS explanation, and we in
sist that mere suspicion should not out
weigh a mans word in a serious case
like this. He is certainly entitled to
the benefit of the doubt.
There is moral to be drawn from
this incident Had Mr.. Dorr been
more circumspect in selecting his
friends, he would not have to defend
himself from this charge. Men OF such
low, bestial habits and depraved char
acters are not the men that the repre-
sentative of this great district should
have as his intimate friends, and the
intimacy between the two seems 70
have been SO close that Mr.. Dorr even
loaned him railroad pass which was
issued to Mr. Dorr as a compliment 70
his official position. is not transferable,
and which he could not honorably let
any one else use We hope this ex-
perience will make him more careful
in the selection of his associates.
IF anything is needed to show this
creature up in his true light, it is his
silence at this time, when rumor Is
charging Mr.. Dorr with this vile &C
ton. Were he a true friend he would
come out and acknowledge his fault
Were not Mr.. Dorr more generous
than most Of men he would come out
openly and expose his false friend who
has so grossly abused his confidence
and blackened his character We have
in this matter defended Mr.. Dorr on
our own motion, because We think JUS
tice demands it, but if he desires to let
the public know the full particulars or
the occurrence and denounce the man
who was riding on his railroad pass az
the time. we shall cheerfully extend
to him the courtesy Of our colemns
for the purpose"

For some time the report has been
quietly circulated that during the sum

think that these people who are labor

name should first acquaint themselves
with the facts before they give cred

The truth is that the young lady in
question was grievously and shameful
ly insulted by a man who pretended
TO be Mr.. Dorr, and that the conductor
OF the car, when he learned the acts,
made the guilty man get out OF his
berth and leave the car, rightly saving
that no such blsckguard and ruNan

ohio notifies is warming up and

election day. The Democrats are con-
Quoting a quiet. orderly campaign;
their forces are harmonious and pre-
sent a solid unbroken front TO the en-
envy. That alone to say nothing of the
vital issues Of the campaign ought as

speak of will come from the Republic

q red-hot fight in the Republican
ranks between the Hanna and the
Forakcr factions. while hanna as
surnes an attitude as if he carried Ohio
IN his vest pocket, the Republicans OF
that state are far from being in love
with him. Hanna is not a man calcu-
lated TO make friends and the AFRO

conducted his campaign thus far with

Hanna is a despot and a tyrant by ma
ture and the man who stands in his way
is bound to be crushed if Hanna is
big enough to crush him. This is the
policy he has pursued among the pol
iticians of his own party, until those
who are not his abject slaves are his
bitter enemies. and these have now
combined against him and have
brought Foraker into the fight. For
aker is a type of politician who is al
most the opposite of Hanna. He has
no "barrel" and depends largely upon
his ability to make friends. in conse-
nuence of which he is without doubt
the most popular Republican in Ohio
to-day aid has twenty friends upon
whom he can rely where Hanna has
one. Now. Foraker's friends and
Hanna's enemies have hOisted the For
aker banner against him and they are
gathering under it at a rate that means
the complete disruption of the party
and the overwhelming defeat of Han
ma. whom the Forakerites bitterly hate.
Col. A. L. Conger, one Of FOrakers
chief lieutenants, has just fired the
Foraker sentiment against Hanna by
making a public statement of Hannas
treachery to Foraker in 1889 when
Hanna declared in private to him
tConger) that he would rather see a
Democrat in the Senate than Foraker,
for whom he expressed a hearty hatred.
This letter of Col. Conger's has
stirred up the animoSiJy Of all the
friends Of Foraker TO a greater pitch
than ever against Hanna. so that about
the only friends the latter has are
those whom he has bought and paid for
and who can't set away.

We are often told by middle aged
people that if they were younger they
would go in for cycling. Now, the
benefits of cycling may be enjoyed by
people of almost any age with advan-

Franklin, the great philosopher, did

to prove that it is never too late to &C

need hesitate to learn to ride cycle Oh

A novelty in bicycles has been got up

height from the ground; the other rider
is perched aloft some 20 feet, reaching
his elevated position bya sort of ladder,
presumably after the man i'll the rear

nothing, we should judge,
when almost every custo-

when other makers of
high grade bicycles do
their best to initiate it.
Read this. We copied
it from a letter picked up
on Fort street, the origin
al of which we can show
you:
"The XXXXXXXX tires
which are going forward on
your esteemed order have the
corrugated tread, and their APP
pearance is very similar to the
G. & J., and we believe that
with little effort you will be
able to place them on a good
footing, especially as the fabric
and rubber are intended for
warm climates, and we feel
sure WiU last as lOng as the G..
and J. hreS..'
That shows you the
standard. Other makers
are trying to get some
thing that twill last as
long as the G.. & j." and
OVID up that they are max
ing them with the same
corrugated tread, to make
their "appemance very
similar"
