A BUCKEYES OPINION.

General Grosvenor of Ohio, the pol
itical optimist of the Buckeye State,
sees only victory ahead of the Repub-
lican party there. He has expressed
imself as having no fears whatever
for the success of his party. The gen.
eral says the Democrats now have four
Representative in the House but he
saw no reason to anticipate that the
number would be increased.
Speaking of the prospects generally,
it was inconceivable to him that any
sensible person would vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. For the past twenty
years the Republican party has stood
for progress and the welfare of the
people while the Democratic party has
rent and torn itself with academic
discussions.
General Grosvenor' S statement as to
things in Ohio can be adapted to near
ly every section of the country. AS
a party the Democracy has received
several solar plexus blows during the
DdSb SlA MOllblb. NuOlC Oliiil OhO Cdl
for recovery will be needed, and in
1904 organized Democracy is likely to
be one of the smallest thorns in the
side of Republican flesh.
Internally the Democratic party is
rent into numerous factions which
never can or will get together and
no man can predict the result of the
election of a Democratic President
beyond the fact, that judged by past
experience, it would mean disaster to
the country.
Although only a campaign slogan
the "full dinner pail" has been too
strikingly illustrated during the past
six years to warrant any man trans
ferring his allegiance from the party
which has been in power during this
period of prosperity to the sinking
ship of Democracy with neither
kelmsman or commander

TRYING TO RECOVER.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Infor nation
has been received at the war depart
ment that @. F. W. Nicely has insti-
tuted proceedings in New York to re-
cover the So, 600 which was found up
on him at the time of his arrest in
Cuba. This money was in the pos
session of the post-office department,
but when Nicely was tried it was
turned over to the war department
as one of the exhibits in the case. 1t
was sent to Cuba and returned to the
United States, and is now at the war
department 1t will not be given up
except by decree of the court de-
Gliding into whose possession it
should be given.
1t is understood that the Cuban
government has given an intimation
that the money should be turned over
to it's treasury to compensate it for
the loss of Nicely, but the pardon of
Nicely, laises the interesting ques-
tion whether or not that government
had not forfeited all claim against
Nicely or the money found in his pos
session when he was originally ar
rested.

COMING HOME.

Copnhagen, Denmark, Sept. 10. -
Evelyn b. Baldwin left here Saturday
afternoon for New York in conse-
quence of instructions received from
William Ieigler, the organizer of the
Baldwin Zeigler and Champ. Zeigler
Arctic expeditions.
New York, Sept. 15.-Those inter
ested in Arctic exploration are await
ing with some i'm patience the return
to this city of Evelyn B. Baldwin,
the man who has had charge of the
expedition equipped and fitted out by
william Zeigler to find the North
Pole. William S. Champ, Mr.. Zeig-
ler's confidential adviser, will arrive
a week or two later and will furnish
a supplementary report to the one
which Baldwin himself will make.
From statements of those Americans
who embarked with Baldwin and
have since returned to this country or
are now on their way, it seems evil
dent that the object of the recall of
Baldwin by Mr.. Zeigler is for more
serious purpose than merely to hold a
consultation on future plans. AL
though, on legal grounds. the conduct
of Baldwin in dismissing sailing
Master Johannsen from his command
was justified, it seems, nevertheless,
to be the fact that all the Americans
who made up the original party have
rebelled against the alleged overbear-
ing and dictatorial manner and con-
duct of their leader and have made
up their minds that they will serve
no long er under his leadership.

against which the allied opposition
will not be able to prevail.
Orleans proudly bears the Republi-
can banner-one solitary Democrat
breaking the Republican solidity of
its ranks, in House and Senate. The
Republican canvass in that county
was distinguished by the high stand
ing, the ability and integrity Of the
men who were championing the Re-
publican cause. So great an array of
men of character is seldom found
working together as those who were
active and influential in the fight in
Orleans
The regular Republican majority in
Senate and House is made up of men
of strength and int egrity of character
and of abiding fidelity to the interests
committed to their charge.
