That Ohio Majority.

That hundred-and-odd-th republi-
can majority in Ohio is stirring the gray
matter of the few anti-Roosevelt republi-
cans. and particularly those preposterous
Lily Whites in the south. &c.," they ex-
claim 1.-The extraordinary strength OF Mr..
HANNAH Nominate him for President. and
he'll show the same strength in every sec
ton of the country"
1t takes but a moment to convince any
man not befogged by his prejudices that
unless they have similar conditions In Ohio
next year the republicans cannot repeat
their performance Of this year. And is
there the slightest prospect at present of a
democratic candidate for President who
either by his personality or his platform
will play into the hands of the opposition
as Tom Johnson has just done as the demo-
cratic candidate for governor? Ohio is nat
urally republican state. and the prospect
is of republican success there next year; but
by no such majority as was thrown there
on Tuesday. The democrats are getting to-
gether. and are likely to present a presi-
Dental candidate for whom both the john
son people and the Mclean people will work
in accord.
The case of Mr.. Cleveland may be cited
in point He was elected governor of New
two hundred thousand. The republicans
had presented a badly demoralized front
and had. been easily overthrown. Thou
sands had remained at home, and others
had voted for Mr.. Cleveland as against
their own party candidate. The republicans
had given the democrats walk-over in
Mr.. Clevelands behalf, as the Buckeye
democrats on Tuesday gave the republicans
in 70 hob PS1f
prevent Mr.. Manning. a very clever poll
tician. from claiming the credit for Mr..
Cleveland. and he went to the democratic
national convention in 1884 armed with the
figures.
You want a man who can carry New
York. Mr.. Manning said to the delegates
there. Nominate Mr.. Cleveland. He car
ried the state two years ago by two hun
bred thousand majority, and has strength
ened himself materially in the governors
chair" The recommendation was taken
upon Its face value and Mr.. Cleveland was
nominated. But the democrats soon dis
covered the difference between the republic
can party of New York divided under the
leadership of Judge Folger and united under
that of James G. Blaine. The majority of
two hundred thousand for Mr.. Cleveland in
1882 dwindled to eleven hundred in 1884,
and that. 1t was openly charged. was Sc
cured by the counting for Mr.. Cleveland of
five thousand votes that had been cast for
General Butler.
But an old campaigner like Mr.. Hanna Is
not at all likely to be misled by the noise
of men at home or elsewhere who. in some
measure through Partially for him. and to
some measure through dislike of Mr.
Roosevelt have undertaken to shape the
destiny of the nation

Mr.. Bryan Loses.

Mr.. Bryan in the Bennett will case loses
in the lower court, but will appeal. A fea-
ture OF the decision which gives him COM
fort is his acquittal Of the charge Of having
used undue influence over the testator.
Comment on the case. however. which has
been widespread. has been keyed in the
tone of regret that he should have appeared
In the role of a claimant to control so large
a share of the estate Of a man over whose
opinions he exercised so much power. There
is something In the story which does not
chime with Mr. Bryan's direotness and dis
interestedness. Still. as It was time when
thousands of men were as devoted to him
as was Mr.. Bennett. though not with the
same means Of manifesting their interest,
this common experience Of worship may
have for the moment dulled Mr.. Bryan's

Another Imaginary Line.
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston GIODe.
Once there was an imaginary line between
Scotland and England. and those two war
ring nations long struggled to mark 1t in
deltbly with their blood, but the finger of
have found peace and happiness and honor
under a common banner. Who shall say
that the day will not come when Canada

she will have placed on the American flag

Peary and the Pole.

From the New York Tribune.
Nothing can daunt or discourage Peary
who Is determined to discover the north
pole If human endeavor can possibly ac-
complish that Incompatible enterprise He
naturally thinks his chances of success
are better than ever before because of his
extensive experience and his previous ex-
pleits in high ATTITUDES. That magic spell
Of the frozen north has laid hold Of his in
most soul, as 1t has of the souls Of so
many other explorers, and he cannot shake
it off May success attend him!

Or countin' what they lost.

From the Philadelphia Record.

From The PhfIadeIph1d KecOru.
That Mcclellan carried New York city
is a very insignificant reason for mention
ing his name in connection with the next
presidential nomination. If he had carried
New York state 1t would have meant some
thing but any democrat ought to be capa-
BILE Of carrying the city.
