Democrats cGnhdenf of success
This Fall.

Cincinnati, June l4.-So great are
the chances for an overwhelming
Democratic victory in Ohio this year
that twenty eight candidates for
Governor are now in the field. The
real struggle has narrowed down to
five men: Horace l.. Chapman, of
jackson; John Welty, of Hillsboro;
Il. L. Hough, of Canton; Allen w.
Smalley, of Upper Ssndusky, aud
Allen w. Thurman, of Columbus.
There is no chance at all for Paul j.
Sorg, the millionaire, of Middleton.
He was in Europe during the last
campaign. He voted for gold bonds
in Congress, and he championed the
financial policy Of Mr.. Cleveland.
The free silver men say that it would
be a qualification of the party to
nominate Mr.. Sorg.
So far John r. Mclean has swept
the field. There is some opposition
to him among the populists, and some
among the gold Democrats, but it is
safe to say that unless some unfor
seen thing happens Mr.. Mclean will
succeed Mark Hanna in the United
States Senate If a Democratic Legis
lature is elected this year. 1t is said
that every candidate for the Govern.
orship is in favor of Mr.. Mclean.
The chairman of the State Conven
tion will be Ulrich Sloan, who pre-
sented Nj. McLean's name to the
Chicago Convention.
The wave of Organism that is
sweeping through Ohio just now is
asto nishing. MIR. Bryar is absolute
ly idolized, and the power and pres
tige of his name grows as the story
of industrial aud agricultural misery
spreads.

THE QUEENS
JUBILEE.
Sixty Years On The
Throne.

All the world knows that this is
Jubilee week in England. The eyes
of the nations are focused upon
England, aud the noble Queen. The
brilliancy aud splendor of the pass
ing pageant which is to mark the cele
bration of her Diamond Jubilee is
but a reflection Of her reign, and is
Justly due her. "Sixty years ago,
on Tar, fair June morning, the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and the
Lord Chamberlain announced 10 the
hastily awakened Princess that dur
ing the silent watches of the night
the mantel of majesty had fallen up
on her." The fierce light which
beats upon a throne" has driven the
blush of youthful bloom from her
cheek, and old Father Time has
sprinkled the hoar frost in her hair,
but the luster of the crown Of virtue
and purity, sincerity and honor,
which has, through all these trying
years rested like a benediction from
heaven upon the head of the grand
and noble Queen, has not faded, but
is growing brighter and brighter un
to the perfect day.
Whatever we may think of En-
gland or her laws, or her policies In
many regards, we all, with the rest
of the world, doff our hats and make
our obeisance to the good and great
Mother and Queen of the greatest
empire on the Globe. She has adorn-
ed WomanbOod, honored Wifehood
and glorifed Motherhood and home
life, and lie living refutation of the
sophistry. that religion influences
and controls and succors only the
afflicted and the miserable. If Glad
stone may be justly called "The
Grand Old Man, surely the Queen
may be called "The Grandest Old
Woman, "cf the world. We can pay her
no higher tribute than to say, that
neither the W0nadn nor the Mother,

ful reign of three score years, been
