They have done practically nothing but
talk, and their talk has not even been
good material for the campaign text
book. They have made a splendid open
ing for the Democrats, and It will not
be surprising If a number OF Repre-
sentstives VIII be left at home; indeed,
in some quarters the prediction is made
that a Democratic House is by no means
improbable. The Republicans have had
every opportunity to make a good record,
but their leaders have not taken advan-
tage Of the opportunity. Speaker Can
non and Messrs. Payne and Dalzeli have
assumed an attitude Of arrogance not at
all in keeping with popular representa-
ton, and 1t Is not 10 be wondered at that

buster that delays legislation deserves
condemnation, but in the present instance

Republican leaders have pursued, and II
we mistake not. they win md this to be
so when they go on the stump. AS a

Judson Harmon's nomination for gov

up 4 strong fight With a good man.
There are many observers who think
that Ohio viii be debatable ground this

contest for state Offices. The recent Re
publican convention marked the return 10
power OF the old bosses, including George
B. Cox. who were able 10 dictate the
nomination Of such officers as they par
ticularly desire 10 control. The spectacle
was revolving to many honest Rspubli-
cans. whose protest was Immediately
voiced in the press. Thus the Democrats
have an issue ready-made, and their cam
paign will be upon substantially the same
basis as that Of two years ago. when their
gubernatoriaI candidate was successful.
The platform adopted shows that they
have q good case against the existing
administration, and that they have ex-
eellent ground for appeal to all honest
citizens
Judge Harmon will add material strength
10 the Democratic cause. Although not
closely connected with the radical wing of
the Democracy, he has always been on
good terms with the Bryan element. and a
consistent friend of Mr. Bryan. He will
carry with him the entire Democratic
vote. and. in all probability, draw heavily
on those Republicans who are disanected
with the State administration and its sub
servience to bosses. Nor is there any
danger that Judge Harmon will he the
tool Of any would-be Democratic pUliti-
cal dietators He will be his own master
both as candidate and as governor, should
he be elected. We congratulate the Ohio
Democrats on having done q sensible
thing Their action should have an in
spring effect on the Democracy, especial
ly in the East where inspiration is badly
